Trades Workers Industrial
Union, Aug, 1888, issue.
BY HARRY CANNES
Every worker who wants to learn
Of the conditions in the needle in
dustry on the eve of great strikes,
and in the face OF the opening Of
the general strike in the dress trade,
should read the latest issue Of the
Needle Worker.
1t has new editor, Melech Ep-
stein, well known for his writings
in the Jewish "Freiheit."
Comrade Epstein has considerably
livened up the paper There is an ex-
cellent article on ''The Struggle Of
the Fur Workers." by Ben Gold,
discussion Of the codes in the cloak
trade by Joseph Boruchowitch, and
many other features.
Lacks Foreign News
The paper lacks some notes on in
ternational news, and especially news
of other industries. The miners
strike, for instance, is not mentioned.
We think there is wrong note
struck in the article on THE Mean
ing of the Recovery Act" by the
editor, Comrade Epstein.
THE capitalists have changed their
attitude now under the heavy blows
of the crisis" writes Comrade Ep-
stein In what way have they chan
ged their attitude? Is Roosevelt's at
titude fundamentally different from
that Of Hoover, or any other inpe-
rialist? Not at all. What Roosevelt
has changed is merely the plan of
attack against the workers, using
more demagogy, trying to show it is
possible to change capitalism into
more acceptable" system for the
workers. He is speeding up trustifi-
cation. He is doing everything pos
sible to help the capitalists get out
of the crisis at the expense of the
workers. AS the codes come down
into the shops, the workers feel the
results of this changed attitude"
as merely an Intensification of the
old attitude.
Plan to Attack Workers
Seeing no way out writes Com
rade Epstein, "the capitalists de-
cided to adopt the method of plan
and control"
Did they decide on a method OF
plan and control?" They did not
What are they going to plan, produc-
tion? What are they going to con-
troll, the big trusts? The only plan
perfected by Roosevelt was one OF
attack against the workers, and it is
this that is uppernost in every code

OF course, Comrade Epstein points

NAVY OFFICIAL GREETS
DISABLED VETERANS
Acting Secretary Roosevelt Ex-
presses Comradeship of Serv-
ices in Radio Message.

Under auspices of the American Le-
gion, Acting Secretary of the Navy
Henry l.. Roosevelt yesterday addressed
Christmas greetings to disabled war
veterans by radio, reminding them that
ut is easier to die for an ideal than to
live and suffer for it, and that they
have had the hardest battles to fight.
THE Navy took you over and the
Navy brought you back said Mr..
Roosevelt. This happy association
built a spirit of comradeship between
the services which is cherished re-
membrance of that war"
The Acting Naval Secretary told the
veterans that their gains have been
those of the spirit, adding that 1T is
in the things of the spirit that you are
richer than those who laid down their
lives on the battlefield"
"You, rather than those of your COM
rades who died in battle on land and
sea, have made the supreme sacrifice"
declared Mr.. Roosevelt "And as you
have been compelled for so long to
bear the disabilities incident to your
cambat service, it is you who have had
the hardest battles to fight"

BOOST IN EXPORTS
TO CHINA DOUBTED
Increase Dependent on Price
of Silver in Open Market.
Experts Split.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Whether and how much American
exports to silver using countries will
increase is dependent on the price of
silver as fixed in the open market and
not on the American Government price
which applies only to domestic, newly
mined metal.
Attempts to estimate possible in
creases in United States sales to China,
India, Mexico and other silver-using
countries are made more difficult by
this fact, as we'll as by disagreement
among experts.
Price Still Above Market.
The American Government price of
CAS- cents an ounce was about so per
cent above the open market price, as
established between buyers and sellers
by bargaining. when the silver policy
was announced, and still is well above
the market
How far the open price will advance
depends primarily on the effect of the
withdrawal of some 35,000000 ounces
from the market each year by the va
rlouS governments agreeing to the plan.
World production runs about $50 900 900
ounces, and there are many millions
more available from past production.
Granting that the price of silver will
increase substantially. many economists
argue that it will not increase exports.
H. NJ. Bratter. Department of Com
merce silver expert, writing in a bulle-
tin, cited statistics to show that China
the only fully silver standard country,
actually increased exports when silver
prices went down and imported less
when they went up.
Imports Dropped 34.9 Per Cent.
In 1881. when silver prices fell 25
per cent from 1880, American exports
to China increased l per cent, while
American exports to other countries
declined 81 per cent. American i'm
ports from China dropped 349 or 3.5
per cent more than American imports
from all other countries.
Foreign trade statistics show that in
many years the United States has been
heavier buyer than seller of goods
OF Chinese, Mexican, Indian and other
silver using countries.
In 1929, the United States imported
166,233. 900 from China and sold to
China S124, 163, 600. In 1882 and so
far in 1888, however, this balance has
changed so that the United States has
sold more.
Imports from India and Mexico still
exceed exports.

WHO ARE YOU?
The Romance OF Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

Descendants of Joseph Herrick are
now found in many sections of the
country,
The name Herrick, traced to its be-
ginning. was first "Ehr," a German
word meaning honor, and "rick" mean
ing rich. So it is that the name sig
nifies family ''rich in honor"
There is tradition that this ancient
family derives lineage from Errick the
Forester, great Scandinavian COM
mander, who raised an army to oppose
the invasion of William the Conqueror.
So we see that the Herricks were Of
that hardy race of Danish people who
we. early established in Great Britain.
The-' Same has undergone many
notifications in spelling and it was not
until the seventeenth century that 1t
was first spelled Herrick.
The English family from which
American Herricks claim descent was
LeicesterShire.
The first representative Of the FAM
lily in this country was Henry Herrick.
son of Sir William of Beau Manor
Park, Parish of Loughborough, in Lei
cestershire, England.
Henry Herrick came first to Virginia,
but removed to Salem. Mass, in 1929
and later to Wenham, Mass.

CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 25 = Players who were stars in base balls good old days would like to make comebacks as managers. Hans ("Honus"D Wagner, now running a sporting goods store in Pittsburgh, with Poe" Traynor as a partner, was one of those who sought the job of managing the Cincinnati Reds. But Donie Bush, of a younger school, got the job.
 Now Heinie Groh, called by some the games greatest third baseman, confesses he would like the idea, too.
 Like Wagner, Groh is unable to get away from the lure of the sport Like Wagner, he has busi- ness interests that make him inde- pendent of a managers uniform. In his case the business is bowl ing alley and apartment house in Rochester, his home town.
 He told of his longing while on a holiday visit to Mrs. Grohs par erts here His past job was as manager of the Binghamton club of the New York Pennsylvania league.
 Heinie spent years with the Cin- cinnati Reds. He had played sec- ond base. Shy a good man at third, the Reds switched him over. and he became star among stars.
 The deal that brought him to Cincinnati, incidentally, was one of the few in which John Mc- Graw was outsmarted. Joe Tin ker did the trick in 1913, during a years stand as manager of the Reds. Joe shipped Art Fromme to New York in exchange for Groh, Leon Ames and Josh Devore.
 McGraw had seen Fromme pitch some of the few good games of his career. Impressed, he swapped, but found his expectations fruit less. While Groh became world beater, Ames proved to be faith full standby for the Cincinnati pitching staff, and Devore went to the Phillies for $5,000.
