standard by England was that it was
a victory for the franc, they now
feel that the suspension of the gold
standard will have very serious eff
fects not only for France but for
the entire capitalist world. In Ger.
many there are "rumors" by the score
of the near failure of many German
banks, including many of the strong

has already had control of domestic
reserves and foreign exchanges. The
Reichsbank Friday put into effect
another regulation forbidding the
transfer Of German securities to for

Reichsbank. The German capitalist
class has been using this in order
to transfer its capital out of Ger

the crisis in the coming months.
Tokyo Exchange Closed
In Tokyo the Stock Exchange was
closed again on Thursday because
the brokers and the banks were I'M
able to put up 100000 required by
the Stock Exchange authorities to
insure stock transactions. South
Africa, the center of the worlds gold
production, is considering the placing
of an embargo on the export of gold
in order to conserve its resources.
The Athens, Greece, Stock Exchange
has been closed until october 5. The
brokers are unable to meet their
obligations and many bankruptcies
are expected to follow any further
drop in the price Of stocks. SO seri-

The number Of unemployed is ra-

State Threatening to Take
Mine Strikers Babes Away

COVERDALE, Pa, Sept. 28.-The
state will take away the babies from
every strikers wife, the state visit
ing nurse threatens, unless floors are
laid in all the tents in the tented
city here. Mrs. Fanny Brown, whose
three year-old baby is in the hos
pital, brought her ten-months-o old
baby into Pittsburgh to have the re-
lief doctor take care of the abscess
on her baby's leg, and told of this
threat.
Every time this nurse comes she
says that there's too much sick ba-
bies," Mrs. Brown states. "She says
there's too much sick on the COM
pany patch, too. She always says
that the government is going to send
us milk for the babies, but the only
milk we get is what our relief gives
us and none comes from the govern
ment. Every time she comes she
says she's so surprised that it hasn't
come yet.
Now she says that no floors in the
tents is what's making these babies
sick. And that if the relief don't
put in floors, that the state is 60
ing to take every baby away from

is being killed off. But she says ba-

GET READERS FOR D. W. M
PREMIUMS ACTIVE FORCE
FOR NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS

Whenever workers are approached
ON any working class issue, they
should be approached with a view to
their subscription to the Daily Work
err Only by this method will we be
taking advantage Of the tremendous
possibilities for the Daily Worker to
act as the force which will organize
contacts and in the long run go a
great way toward keeping new forces.
Premiums Offered With Subs.
Every Daily Worker Club should get
as many of its members out after
subs as possible. Every worker and
Party member should be activized.
The Daily Worker is able to offer at
this time variety of premiums for
one year and six months subscrip-
tons which will make the securing
of subs great deal easier. Combined
with the regular yearly and six
months subscriptions to the Daily
Worker which are in themselves very
attractive to workers everywhere an
offer of double value which includes
an offer of a novel OF labor book of
current interest to workers is made.
With one year subs we can offer
"Brusski" which sells for S1.5O per
copy. "Brussh" CThe Soil Redeemed)
is novel by F. Panferov. It not only
presents a new standard for books
out Of present-day Russia, but is one
OF the modern outstanding transla-
tons to have been brought to this
country. Its theme is the COLLECTIVE
cation Of Russian village: it is writ
ten in a warm, simple style. And style
and content together are somehow
reminiscent of stories of American
pioneering, excepting that instead of
the success of an individual we are
shown the trials and triumphs of
whole group who function as one.
But the simplicity and the struggle
against weather and famine have the
same deeply sympathetic and human
quality.
With a six months sub we can Of
fer RED Villages" which sells for SOC
copy. Red Villages" is a book
about the revolution in Russian ag-
riculture under the Five Year Plan.
Here we see the process by which
the Soviet Union is replacing the
horse and wooden pillow with tractors
and combines; and tiny, wastefully
strip farms are welded into vast COL
lectives to which the peasant brings
his land, his cattle, his farm
cry and his labor.
Commissar Yakovlev writes too Of
the state farms, great grain factories
with modern cities Of workers grow
ing on the sites of straw thatched
novels. The very scope of his mate
rial makes his book dramatic, as we'll
as a record of primary Importance.
American readers will find the au-
thor'S comparison between Soviet ag-
riculture and that in the United
States of particular interest.
Instead of RED Villages" on the
six months sub VIC offer either one
of the Labor and Industry series
which sell at 81 a copy or, the La
Dor Fact Book which sells at 85c

The aim of the Labor and Indus
try Series is to present a picture Of
the development of the important
American industries in relation to the
workers employed in them. Other
