TOLD TO CLEAR
UP FINANCES

WASHINGTON. Oct. 28.-P)-
Two fixtures in the Philippine in
dependence picture are the cocoa
nut and the sugar cane
Their presence might easily have
heen IN the mind Of Pres. Hoover
yesterday when he said independ-
ence now would mean an economic
collapse for the islands.
He wants the Philippines to get
their financial affairs in better
shape before they strike out for
themselves.
The cocoanut and the sugar cane
have been a factor in the apparent
" growing sentiment for independ-
ence in congress.
Competition Felt
There are Americans who feel
the competition OF Filipino vege-
table oils, made largely from the
meat OF the cocoanut, and sugar
make II harder for farmers In this
country TO scale economic obstacles.
They have not been convinced BY
arguments that there is little COM
petition between Filipino oils and
American butter and oleomargerine
and that sugar from the islands
makes slight difference one way
or the other.
Filipino products enter the Unit
ed States duty free. In 1880. ~ per
cent OF their total OF Sl33. OO0, 900 in
export and SOB, 700 eco in imports
came 10 this country.
The far away islands had a ia
voraole trade balance with this
country last year Of SGT. $50. 900.
II the island were freed. most or
their products. sugar and vegetable
oils included. probably would find
a tariff wall to hurdle before they
were placed on the shelves OF
American stores. That. at least, Is
the plan Of most congressional ex-
ponents Of independence.
Financial Pains
Dwight Davis. governor general
OF the Philippines. said frankly
last year that a United States duty
on Philippine sugar would mean
the ruin OF that industry.
Among the Filipino ethical
leaders. even those loudest in their
demands for independence-and
that includes the majority-admit
that immediate independence would
give the islands severe financial
aches and pains.
Some want independence TO be
taken like the average prescrip-
tion-moderate doses over a certain
period-until the islands have ac-
customed themselves to the chang

If the anti-Soviet liars who are
responsible for this outrageous photo
forgery have not gathered them all
up by the time you read this, you
will find a copy of this photograph
of brutal whipping of convict labor
ers at the agency of the "P. g. A.

And on it you will find a label

italist government of these United
States, including Congressman

ers!
This is all, workers, You have
seen the proof that every photo is

papers lie to you about the Soviet?
For two reasons: First, they want
you to believe that the Soviet Gov

Remember these lies, workers! Re-

WAGE CUTS IN
MINES DAILY!
District Conventions of
NMU to Plan Fight

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 27.-Wage
cuts every day in one mine or an
other! Starvation wages! Even the
capitalist press, in reporting some of
the wage cuts, is forced to admit that
1.-THE present wages are the lowest in
the history of the industry"
In the Avella section, where hor-
rible hunger prevails, the miners and
their families live exclusively on dam
delions, mothers not being able to
nurse their babies. The general wage
scale is only 80 cents per ton. This
compares with n cents per ton three
years ago. But this is not the lowest
in the industry. In West Virginia
the wages are still lower. There the
general wage scale is only 81 cents
per ton, and in some instances even
10 cents per ton.
These low wages have brought the
conditions of the employed miners
almost equal to the conditions of the
unemployed, They are working and
at the same time starving. Many
miners refuse even to work under
these miserable conditions.
But the coal operators are not sat-
isfied even with the low wages that
now exist, Their greed for profits
has no limits, They continue to
slash the wages. thus increasing the
misery and starvation of the miners.
The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea leadership, without exception,
helps the coal operators cut the
wages. The fake progressives of the
Hewat clique are doing the same by
telling the miners that "wage cuts
cannot be prevented in period of
depression"
The National Miners Union is car
rying on an extensive campaign for
strike struggle against wage cuts. 1t
has proven by winning 10 per cent
wage increase for the Tomajko min
ers that not only can wage cuts be
prevented, but that the coal operators
can be forced to increase the wages.
The district conventions of the N.
M. u'-metal mining en- May 10;
Ohio for May II and Pennsylvania ON
May 23-24-will be a tremendous step
forward in mobilizing the miners to
fight against wage cuts, speed-up and
for immediate unemployment relief.

once and notify your respective dis
