President Rentcheler, OF the bank ex-
planned this by saying 1t was done
TO sustain the morale of the organ

These loans, Rentcheler said, were
made to about 100 officers of the
bank, and not over five per cent Of
them have been repaid. Some Of them
have been charged against undivided
profits account and the rest have
been written down. Mr.. Rentcheler
maintained that according to their
attorneys, Sherman and Sterling, all
this was strictly within the law, thus
showing once more what is well
known to workers that there Is one

New York Secretary of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union)
NEW YORK--Natale Ballero, the
"a year old fur dyer and striker OF
A. Hollander & Sons Of Newark, N.
J. who was shot and killed last Sun
day in Newark, N. j. was g. member
Of the Fur Dressers and Dyers De-
partment Of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union.
This cold blooded murder Of Bal
1ero because he dared to strike for
better conditions, has aroused the
sharpest indignation among all fur
workers and needle trades workers
generally.
The scab vino did the killing Is
named Ralph Capo.
AS an answer to this murderous
attack and as a demonstration Of
solidarity with the strikers, the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union Is calling for a one-hour
strike on Wednesday of all fur
workers fur dressers), fur dyers,
and fur garment workers. and
protest demonstration in the fur
market on the same day between
IL and 1 pm. The one-hour strike
in the fur dressing, dyeing and
manufacturing industry will affect
the shops located in Manhattan,
Bronx, Brooklyn, Paterson, Jersey
City, Bayonne, and Newark, N. J.
A. Hollander g. Sons. together with
J. Hollander and Philip Singer, fur
dressing and dyeing firms of New
ark, N. J. were declared on strike
last Wednesday. The workers are
demanding the return of wage cuts,
shorter hours, and unemployment in
surance. The conditions of the work.
ers In these shops have become SO
unbearable that the workers deter
mined to strike regardless of the ter
ror they were certain to confront.
Workers Of j. Hollander, for instance
have been earning Sc for 70 hours
Of work and have their hands con-
tinuously poisoned because the firm
refuses to provide the workers with
gloves to protect them from the
poisonous dyes. 1t Is against such
conditions that the strikes have been
declared.
Murder Threats
Since these strikes have been de-
clared a number of strikers as well
as strike leaders have received muir
der threats. This is the second time
that strikers were killed when they
vent on strike against A. Hollander 81
Sons. During a strike in 1914 against
this firm two strikers, Rubin and
Novack, were shot and killed by hired
gangsters.
The Union has been conducting
successful organization campaign in
the fur dyeing and dressing trade for
the past several months. AS result
Of this campaign the union has sue
ceeded in organizing practically all
the fur dyeing and dressing shops,
winning wage increases, reduction in
hours of work, and 3 per cent I'M
employment insurance fund. The
firms Of A. Hollander &c Sons, J.
Hollander, and Philip Singer are the
only firms in New Jersey that are
continuing to resist the demands of

INITIATION BEGINS FORCING RISE IN PRICES

Senator Barkhead, Democrat from
Alabama, has made an amendment
to the relief bill asking for the iss1-
ance Of $1,000 100000 dollars in stamp
money, pure inflated currency.
Forcing Price Rise
A,report submitted for the Banking
and Finance Committee of the United
States Senate states, "A necessary OBJ
jectiye in currency Initiation for the
purpose of raising prices is TO put
the. country off the gold basis first.
Prices could not rise SO long as the
exchangeability OF currency for gold
could be maintained -, 4,+,-s
Well, the government has taken the
fundamental step toward raising
prices. 1t has abolished the exchange
ability Of currency for gold. The
effect On prices has been to cause a
mixture of currents on the commodity
exchanges, the net result being a
tendency towards rising prices. It
has been argued that the lack of any
appreciable advance in prices proves
that there has been no imitation. II
proves nothing Of the sort.
Aside from the fact that the be-
gjnnings Of imitation DO not at once

By NJ. HOWARD

Have the fundamental factors in
the banking situation changed2 Has
there been any real change in the
financial situation? Do we face q.
return to = stable currency redeem
able in gold? Now that the optimistic
ballyhoo from Washington is sub
siding, these questions must be aa~
Svered. The only correct answer
must be emphatically in the mega
tive!
Through the disappearing clouds
OF illusion, the basic facts emerge
absolutely unchanged in all their ess-
entails. The conditions making cur
rency imitation inevitable are develop
ing irresistibly. The machinery for
imitation is all ready. In fact, it has
already begun to work. This must
be insiStently hammered home again
and again.
No Gold Payments, But Inflated
.,. Paper Currency -
At first the government established
an internal and external embargo on
gold. No gold is being handed out at
the banks. No currency is redeem
able in gold. This was the first
major step toward an active imitation
of the currency.
Now the second step is being taken.
The Federal Reserve notes, which
represent claims on the gold hoard
In the Treasury and bank vaults, are
being retired from circulation, being
displaced by the new. paper currency,
which represents no claim on any
gold This is a decisive step along
the, path Of initiation,
The most significant financial news
in the last ten days has been the
quiet but steady issuance of about
s1E,oo0000 Of new paper currency.
This inflated currency is already in
circulation. At the same time the
government Is retiring Federal Re
serve Notes which are redeemable in
gold. sN
The latest report Of the Federal Re
serve shows that Si68,00o,o00 dollars
Of these gold backed notes were re-
| tired in the past week. This issuance
of the new currency cannot be eX-
planned as being required by the de-
mands Of a rising circulation, since
the total circulation of currency is
temporarily declining. The new cur
rency is being slowly eased into cir
culation as a result of conscious gov
ornamental policy.
This clearly means that the recent
Bank Act, rushed through under the
cover Of temporary emergency,
is now being deliberately used tc
transform the currency from one re-
deemable in gold to one backed by
nothing more than government loans
bonds and frozen bank assets. The
/ capitalist press reports that the with
! draWals are no longer Of emergency
proportions, that, in fact, deposits arc
larger than Withdrawals. Yet ir
spite OF the end Of the emergency
the government is going tight ahead
with the issuance of so-rslled "srner.
