|. Miller, a New Haven baker, has
started a $4,000 civil action against
Local III, Bakery and Confectionery
Workers International Union of

Since he was expelled from the
union Miller says he has been unable
to get steady work at his trade and
has suffered financial loss by being
obliged to work at trade with which
he is not familiar.
Eleven individual m m b ers are
named defendants as we'll as the two

PHOTO ENCRAVERS
WIN WAGE BOOST

Cincinnati-Photo engravers en-
ployed on local newspapers won a
notable arbitration decision which
raises rates Sc a week or to $50 and
$63 for day and night work.
The award dates back to April 10,
last year, and employers will pay the
extra rates for 72 weeks because of
the long negotiations.
Frederick Van Nuys, we'll known
indianapolis attorney, made the de-
cision He favored the 44-hour week
in opposition to the publishers con-

six-day week. He also ruled that the
status of foreman shall be given to
one man employed in an establish

TOBACCO PRICES
Make Nose Dive and Grow.
ers Blame Trust

Raleigh, N. C.-Tobacco growers
are panicky over low prices of this
commodity, which have dropped to
71a and 9 cents pound. This is less
than the cost of production and is a
decrease of more than 25 per cent, as
compared with the same period last
year.
Growers blame the tobacco trust
The big cigarette companies, it is
pointed out, will report record break
ing earnings this year, and are lead
ers in price-cutting for the raw ma
terial.
DR.. G. w. Forster, agricultural
economist at North Carolina State
College, declared that these low
prices are not justified.
The situation is so desperate that
growers and business men in Edge
combe county have agreed to boy
colt on all tobacco products until they
can get fair price. Tobacco growers
were urged to join the Cooperative
Association, and 25 per cent reduc-
tion in next years tobacco acreage
was pledged.
Attention was called to a state
ment by an officer of leading to-
bacco manufacturing concern that 100
shares of that corporation, purchased
ten years ago, was today earning Ga

Steel Trust Denies Existence
Of U. S. Manganese Industry
American Producers, Charging Soviet Seeks Monopoly
Offer to Make 20O OOO-Ton Contracts and Put Up
Bond, if Russian Dumping is Stopped.

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-To off
set the claim of Thomas j. Doherty,
tariff counsel for the American and
Steel Institute, that there is no real
production of manganese in the
the United States, and therefore that
there is no damage to anyone from
the shipments of Russian soviet
manganese ore, which claim was made
at the hearing here before the treas
ury department tariff bureau, J. Oscar
Adkerson, president of the Manga
nese Producers Association, offered
to make contract to deliver 100000
tons of manganese ore, of better
grade than is produced in any other
country, the first year, and as much
more each succeeding year until two
thirds of the national demand is met,
and to put up bond for the delivery.
The only condition named is, that the
price shall not be cut by the dumping
of Russian soviet ore.
Mr.. Adkerson declared that Amer
lean producers stand ready to meet
competition from India, Africa or
Brazil; but that the soviet imports
are offered regardless of the price
necessary, to control the market
Representative of the Amtorg Cor
poration, who had promised at the
last hearing to present information as
to costs of production, were chiefly
noticeable by their absence from this
hearing.
S. E. Clark, representing a man
ganese development company from
Nevada, emphasized the moral ire
sponsibility of the soviet government

Issue to Go to Floor

The state-aid proponents may raise
the point that since the federation a
year ago went on record for state old
age pensions it should take another
step and stand for unemployment in
surance. On the other hand, there are
others who hold that since state un-
employment is contrary to the estab-
lished philosophy, the federation
should withdraw its support of old
age pensions and take position that
offers no relation to state-aid projects
If the issue comes to the floor as it
seems destined to do, there is every
indication that it will produce what
may be called an "old-fashioned de-
bate" that will be treat to those
who revel in philosophical discussions
as well as to those who are interested
in the practical application of the
philosophy
The council came to grips with un-
employment when an official delega-
ton of the United Brewery, Cereal
and Soft Drink Workers appeared to
ask for modification of the Volstead
act as a means of relieving unemploy-
ment as we'll as knocking the props
out from under an impossible en-
forcement situation. This delegation
came laden with figures that COM
manded admiration. The council
found itself in entire accord with the
demands of the brewery workers.
The council considered the situation
regarding Catholic unions in Canada
and will exert fresh efforts to bring
about an understanding leading to
agreement upon bon fde union lines,
President Green said.

Red Plot on Matthew Woll
Is Revealed By Ex-Agent
Irving Weiss Says He Was Ordered to Plant Fake Docu-

where he could find out things. All
of the officers to whom he offered his
services turned him down.
Weiss says he went to the offices of
the National Civic Federation, where
he offered to furnish alleged docu-
ments to Miss Carrie Osgood, con-
fidential secretary to Mr. Easley, the
federation's executive secretary.
Mr.. Easley said his office refused to
deal with Weiss because he was "ob-
viously communist agent"
Thus the whole effort came to moth
ing, except that the red party chiefs,
according to Weiss, lost confidence in
him, searched his home and told him
to keep his mouth shut

New York City (ILNS-Irving
Weiss, a former Bronx communist
party member, came forth this week
to tell a story of red intrigue which
failed and which got Irving fired out
of the party.
Weiss said his job was to operate
as a spy. The main task mapped out
for him, his story goes, was to plant
forged communist documents on
Matthew Woll and Ralph NJ Easley
and to worm himself into the con
fdence of army intelligence people
and the department of justice
Officers of the department of JUS
tice and the army were offered his
services by Weiss, his idea, he says,
