BOARDING
BRINGS PERIL
Of CRISIS
BY KINGsBURG SMITH

10y AA4ANO0DO1S0 CWAk
LONDON, April 2 QN.S.)
The world is rapidly approaching
a serious economic and financial
crisis owing to the boarding IF
gold by the various banking insti-
tutionS.
Such is the opinion Of F. A.
Szarvasy, chairman Of the Anglo
French Banking Corporation, who
attributes the present grave eco.
nomic situation in England TO a
lack of credit brought about by
an insufficient amount Of gold
being available to form the basis
of credit facilities.
"At the present time there is
not sufficient gold made available
for the requirements of the
world" Szarvasy said in an in
terview on the financial situation.
There Is plenty of gold, but
most Of it is inmobilized and
therefore not performing It's
proper functions.
1T is stated that out of the
total gold stock Of $4,000. .000, 900
held by the Federal Reserve
banks in America roughly one
third is immobilized, and that
France is dealing similarly with
about $500, 100000 of gold of a
total holding of $l.825, ,000. 900.
Almost every other central
bank is keeping back from cir
culation a certain amount Of
gold. and the free movement of
the metal from one country to
another is seriously hampered,
the only remaining free markets
being London and New York.
The consequences of this are
bound to be far-reaching. Unless
some remedy is found-and found
quickly-the world may be head
ing for o grave economic, finan-
cial possibly political, crisis.
ION the other hand, cheap
money, lower taxation, a settled
political outlook, hard work and
return of public confidence, ss
far as England is concerned, as
result of the realization of these
factors, should get international
trade going once more.
Commodity prices In England
have now reached such a level
that in many instances the cost
Of production is not covered"

WINNER

CHIC,AG o, April 2 tU.s)
One Of the most remarkable con.
tests in oil American political
history is being waged today in
the campaign for the Republican
senatorial n nomination from
Illinois.
It Is the contest between sena,
tor Charles 8. Deneen and Mrs
Ruth Hanna Mccormick, Repre-.
seEtetive-at-large from Illinois. 1t
Is q contest that will turn on a
great international issue-Amer.
lean adherence to the League
Court.
Deneen Favored Court
Mrs. Mccormick has taken a
Fortnight stand against the
League Court. Senator Deneen
mas thus far ignored the issue al
though he voted for the Court
when the question was before the
Senate four years ago.
Unbiased and experienced OBJ
servers Of Illinois politics will
tell you today that Mrs. McCor
mick would be nominated for the
Senate Il the primary election
were held tomorrow.
At the same time, they say
that former Senator James Ham
ilton Lewis, the uncontested Dem
ocratic Senatorial nominee, would
win in the election If it were
held tomorrow. This is said to
be due to the general dissatisfac.
ton with the Administration at
Washington because of unem,
ployment and depressed farm
prices.
The outcome Of this issue will
be decided in the next week.

Hyde Shoe Bosses
Try to Make Girl
Slaves Prostitutes

by a Worker Correspondent
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (By Mail.)
The bosses have installed a
thourough system of stool-pigeons
in the Hyde Shoe Factory. besides
having a good many members of
the Hyde family work around at
easy jobs in the different depart
ments and keep a close watch on
what the workers are doing and try
to find out what they are thinking
about. Some of the male relatives
are wide awake when it comes to
spotting the good looking girls who
get jobs there and use the threat of
discharge to make them come
through. If they want to keep their
jobs they have to obey these fellows
so that they will not get in bad
with the powers that be. They rot
only have to ruin their good looks
by the rotten conditions of work
and the long hours but the also
have to give up their virginity.
The Hyde factory is the dirtiest
place l ever worked in. The work
ers have to do all the sweeping
themselves but do not have time to
attend to it. The drinking fountain
in the lasting room reached such a
stage of filth that some of the
workers put it out of commission
and now they have to use the hy-
drant which is ir a sink, covered
with a quarter inch of black dirt
and is on the opposite side of a
partial partition separating it from
the toilet. This latter place is so
foul from neglect that 10 one ven
lures in it, unless from the most
extreme necessity.
One toilet is out of order prac-
tically all the time and the other
has no cover at all. This place is
so bad that it fills the entire last
ing room with the damnedest smell
you can imagine.
This Hyde shop, where IL end II
years old girls slave, must be or
gained into the Independent Shoe
Workers Union. Hyde workers, it's
the only union that won't sell out,
for it's not an A. F. L. takers or
ganiztion.

about 1000 unemployed stormed

engaged in cleaning up the snow

park their many cars near the curb
and while getting into them
would not get their perfumed feet
wetted up.
After these workers had worked
from four to five days they were
told to wait another four days to
get their pay. Returning on the
fourth day for their pay, which was
on a Saturday, they were met by
the big Boss" and told in a loud
voice, go home, you'll get no pay
today, we will pay you Monday"
This did not satisfy the already
much suffering workers so they i'm

to see the Mayor, and about 1000
paraded to the City Hall. Upon
reaching the City Hall, they found
the Mayor was out of town, then
they went to the Commissioner of

received an answer, maybe you'll
