10 months from March to December
81, 1920. the R., F. g. P.'s excess earn
ings amounted to $4,000. There was
no excess earned in 1921, but in 1922
the amount was fixed at $903,025 and
In 1923 at $1,129,368.
The next step in the controversy will
be for the commission to enter an order

Protest Ban by Lackey

Havana dispatches early Thursday
evening indicated that the general
strike called by the National Con-

Federation of Labor had paralyzed
activity throughout the yankee
plantation" that is known as Cuba.
Even the capitalist press admits that
100000 workers struck at the call
of the revolutionary National Con-
federation, which is affiliated with
the Red International of Labor
Unions and also to the Latin Amer
lean Trade Unio Confederation, the
latter body having called for dem
onstrations and strikes against I'M
employment throughout Latin Amer
lea on Thursday.
While the capitalist press admits
that the strike is a proletarian pro-
test against unemployment, the fact
is concealed that the Cuba workers
are also striking in protest at the

Set Hearing for April
II in Assault Case

/ Magistrate Mckinney, in the
Fourth District Court yesterday
held Foster, Minor, Amter, Ray
mond and Lesten, the committee
elected by the 10000 unemployed
and striking workers in Union
Square, March 6, for hearing on
April IL, ON the strange charge of
"assaulting Patrolman Talbot AT
the same time will be heard the
cases Of Raymond Luzi and Leon
Lewis. Bail of $4,000 each on this
charge is still maintained for the
five representatives of the unem-
ployed. Luzi is on $4,000 bail, and
Lewis on $1,000.
The policeman is practically a
prisoner in st. Vincent's hospital,
from which he has tried several
times to 60 home. He has admitted
that he was not hurt, but it is part
of the campaign to cripple the I'M
employed movement for work or
wages that he is dying"
Two Victims of Police.
Luzi is accused by the police of
actually striking Talbot. Lewis is
charged only with "abetting in the
riot" which means that he was one
of those who happened to get beat
up by the police, and that for that
reason he must be convicted Of some
thing.
Just what devious argument the
prosecution has to try and convict
the committee of five of "assaulting"
this policeman, when the police COM
missioner, Whalen, argues at the
same time that the committee fran
from the meeting" is not clear. So
far the prosecutors have used this
assault case primarily to keep Fos-
ter, Minor, Amter, Raymond and
Lesten from being released on bail.
Now that the bail is raised anyway,
they will probably go ahead with a
batch of hired liars and make a case
oft.

BULLETIN.

Alexander Kelso. secretary of
the local Carpenters and Joiners'
District Council. a faker of the
order of Ryan, admitted yesterday
that 40 per cent of the $1,000
union carpenters in this city were
out of work because of the alb
normal depression in the building
industry" The normal unem-
ployment at this time of the year,
kelso said, is 5 per cent. This
means that at the present time
there are over 10000 unemployed
carpenters in the unions.
Il say, as representative of the
Central Trades and Labor Council
that there is a great deal to fear

the regular meeting of the Central
Trades and Labor Council in Bee
thoven Hall, last night. He was
speaking under special order OF
business, the report of the commit

erview Mayor Walker and the Board
IF Estimates last Friday. Ryan was
chairman Of the committee.
He was very definite in his re-
marks that what there was to fear
was the growing organized move
nent of the unemployed, led by the
Communist Party and the Trade
Union Unity League.
IF the police do not use a little
violence now in the end they will
have to use great deal of viO-
dence. A little clubbing now is
better than to call out the militia
and shoot lot of people later on,
said Ryan.
The report of the committee did
rot involve any practical suggestions
for solving the unemployment ques-
ton, but merely stated that they
would meet with the mayor again,
along with the socialists and try to
work with him mot against him."
