AS THE WORKER
SEES HIS WORLD
Summary and Digest Of
Important Events of the
Week. Here and Abroad

Twelve hundred unemployed men
and women, gathered togethere by
leaders said to be communists,
stormed the city hall at Cleveland,
Ohio, on February IL and were beaten
back by police after injury to 20 of
their number and two police officers.
The United States department of
labor reports that following the set
tlement of recent dispute between
the longshoremen and shipping agents
at Halifax, the longshoremen were
granted working day of nine hours,
together with a number of minor con-
cessions.
The League for Industrial Democ-
racy is not an educational body but
decidedly partisan" in advocating a
now social order in which goods
would be produced for use and not for
profit, the federal board of tax ap-
peals ruled recently in deciding the
case of woman who asked for de-
ductions in income tax as the result
of contributions made to the league.
| Gov. Roosevelt, of New York, de-
clared recently that the Baumes law,
which compels judges to sentence
felony offenders to life Imprisonment
on their fourth conviction will have
| to be modified, but that he had not
thought of asking the present legis-
lature to make any changes.
Strong opposition to recognition by
the United States of the Russian
soviet government was voiced in the
house on February II by Representa-
tive Dickstein, of New York, who
assailed the soviet for it's ''oppres-
sion of religious people of all creeds. "
Officials of the Pennsylvania rail-
road have agreed to equip a passen-
ger locomotive with perpendicular
headlight and operate it in Ohio as
ar experiment looking to greater
safety. The beam of the perpendic-
ular light will extend upward for 700
or 800 feet, and it is believed it will
be seen by motorists at a much great
er distance than the present horizon
tai beam.

DRESSMAKERS WIN
And Doom Sweatshops
Eight-Day in New
York Ends

New York City ULNS)-Doom of
the sweatshop in the dressmaking
industry here was assured by ar
agreement ending an eight-day strike
of $4,000 dressmakers. The agree
ment, which runs for two years, was
signed at city hall by representatives
of the manufacturers and the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union.
Eight thousand workers employed
by Independent manufacturers remain
on strike, but will return to work as
fast as individual agreements cover
ing them are signed.
Settlement of the strike came as
the result of mediation by Lieut.. Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman.
The agreement, considered big
victory by the dressmakers, will vir-
tually abolish sweatshops and will re-
suit in the formation of an impartial
commission to settle disputes in the
industry. The agreement also pro-
vides for a 44-hour working week
No increase in wages was asked, this
having by agreement gone over for
a year.
The impartial commission will be
appointed by Gov Roosevelt and will
be composed of three representatives
of the union, of the three manufac-
turers' associations and of three other
disinterested persons. The commits
sion will serve for a three months
trial term and if successful will be
made a permanent body. Similar
machinery for settling disputes in
the cloak and suit industry is in oper-
alton.
The New York victory Of the dress
makers followed victory of 1900
dressmakers in Toronto, where the
sweatshop is also to go.

SEVEN HUNDRED
AND FIFTY
JOIN UNION
After 1000 Hear Gorman's
Address
Danville Workers Applaud De-
nunciatiOn of Wage Reduction
and Alleged Industrial De-
mOcracy Scheme.

Danville, Va. ULNS)-Mill own
ers here were told by Vice President
Francis j. German, of the United
Textile Workers, that the union is
coming for the good of the workers
and in the end for the good of the
industry.
Speaking to 1000 mill workers in
Majestic Theatre, German aroused
his hearers to tremendous enthusiasm.
Later applications for membership
were signed by 750 workers, showing
the determination for unionism on
every hand.
Pursuant to the mass meeting,
Vice President German met with a
picked committee Of 100 to plan for
further work in the establishment of
a firm organization and for strong
membership drive to bring in the en-
tire roster of more than 5000 work
ers employed in mills here.
German sailed into the mill owners
on two counts. First, he attacked
the 10 per cent wage reduction or
dered by the Riverside and Dan River
mills. Employees joined in pub
lished denial that they had acquiesced
in the reduction, recently put into
effect. They went further and ut
tered a ringing renunciation of the
so-called industrial democracy scheme
installed by the owners-the usual
scheme of deception.
Then German waded into the as
sertion of the Riverside and Dan
River mill owners that their wage
scales rated above others in the
South. He showed the figures. He
read the schedules of the Erwin mills
and declared that H. r. Fitzgerald,
president of the Riverside and Dan
River mills, claiming the top wages,
were not correct.
'They are all claiming that they
pay the highest wages" said Cor
man. "And what is this high wage
that they are paying? Eighteen
dollars week in the weaving room,
where the highest wages in the plant
are paid!"
Pointing to million and quarter
dollars paid in dividends and interest
to stockholders, German ridiculed the
wage reduction as a bitter injustice,
showing that while wages were cut
the income to stockholders who do
not work in the mills was not
touched. He said that if, however,
the money for stockholders had to be
taken from surplus funds, the en-
ployers might have taken just little
more to keep from cutting wages.
German said the wage reductions
were even unfair to the mills them
selves and to the whole textile indus
try in the South.

reer in exile, fought for the Emperor
Ohio III and frequently raided' the
coast Of France and the British isles
until he became converted to Christi

accepted as king in 995. He immedi-

Christianity. Olav was defeated in
battle by the combined Swedish and

Wasted Regrets

Regrets are sheer waste Of time.
When we indulge in them, up again
comes the experience we are regret
ting. So in a measure we suffer our
sorrow and discomfort again. Surely,
to live over again the unhappiness Of
life is folly of the worst kind. And
yet many Of us love to keep friends
with the untoward happenings Of our
past. Strictly speaking, we ought to
have done with them. They belong to
the limbo Of the past-there let them
lie.-London Tit-Bits.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-01-30
Grammatical

An authority on correct English
speaks as follows in regard to the
position of personal pronouns con.
nected by the conjunction: "When two
or more personal pronouns in the sing
ular are connected by 'and,' the Sec
ond person precedes the first and the
third, and the third person precedes
the first; when the pronouns are used
together in the plural number, the first
person precedes the second and the
third, and the second person precedes
the third"
