DECLINE IN BONDS
CARRIED FURTHER
New Low Average for Year
Recorded as Selling
Continues.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February 21.-No re-
lief came to the bond market today. 1t
was again influenced by heavy liquida-
tion in every part Of the list, resulting
In new low average Of prices for the
year and q return of numerous issues
to their minimum figures of 1882.
The market was thin, which resulted
In sharp declines on moderate sized
offerings. Industrial bonds had the
sharpest losses, while in the foreign
group japanese loans suffered most.
There was steady supply of United
States Treasury issues during most of
the day.
The news from the Far East was a
disturbing factor not only in japanese
bonds, but in other foreign issues, and
1t communicated its effect to the do
mestic list The rejection by Japan of
the committee report TO the League of
Nations was not unexpected and was
followed by declines of 2 to points in
Japanese government. municipal and
public utility loans, which the Amer
jean investor has been selling for some
time and will probably continue to sell
IN view Of the prevailing sentiment
toward Japan's political ambitions.
French 713s were off a point. United
Kingdom 512s declined fractionally
after holding steady. Canadian Gov
ernment IS sold 7 points under the
'4igh of the year. There were losses
ranging from l to 2l2 points in Ger
nan obligations
The most pronounced weakness in
United States Government loans in the
early part of the day was in the first
Liberty 312s, which dropped about q,
but did not then get down to Mondays
low of par, and in the Treasury As.
which sold at a new low for the year.
In the other loans there we're losses
averaging "a. The short term Treasury
notes have been much affected by the
weakness in the long term issues, losing
some part of their premium with the
5-year 29s per cent issue quoted at
discount. This situation Is embarrassing
to the Treasury, which had expected to
develop a long term bond policy next
month, but is now likely to continue
meeting its maturities with further short
term certificates.
In the industrial list there were such
losses as 334 points in International
Paper 5s. 212 points in Bethlehem Steel
SIS of 1886, a point in U. S. Rubber 5s,
which brought them to new low price,
and about the same in Texas Co. SIS.
The public utility issues Of the high
est grade were again soft. American
Telephone e. Telegraph SIS were quoted
5 points under the high of the year and
Detroit Edison IS were off 61a points
from the January high. Both Atchison
General As and Union Pacific Is were
heavy. Pennsylvania Railroad issues
lost l to ~ points. Northern Pacific
Is were down points and the various
New York Central loans declined l or
more points. Fractional losses occurred
in several of the Junior railroad low
quality issues. The International Tele-
phone & Telegraph group, which
touched a new low average Monday,
was steadier.

Terror Against Members.
The Amalgamation Party has con-
sistently and determinedly fought in
the interests of the rank and file of
the union. and because it has aroused
the membership against the Hewson
administration which has very effect
lively co-operated with the employers
on the two scales, it is now the OBJ
ject of this attack, which will no
doubt include further and more or
ganized suppression at union meet
ings, vilification and the introduc-
ton of reign of terror. At the last
meeting already there was appointed
a gang of assistant sergeants-at
arms, to prevent the militants from
participating in the business of the
union.

further emphasized and particularly

SEEMING Of conditions, have produced
such discomfort that we must more
and more orientate upon:
/. Sweeping movements in the
different trades,
2. Practical concentration of for
ces in tackling the large scale shops.
3. Concrete. material and organi-
rational support to those unions
that are still weak, but operate in
basic industries, metal, marine, tran
sport and chemical, where big capt.
alists are strongest.
4. The linking of the workers Or
ganized in trade unions with the
movement of the unemployed by in
dustry and in the neighborhoods.
5. To help the different unions to
become representative of the differ
ent nationalities in their industry,
particularly so of the Negro workers.

Hit the Lay-offs
Greet Says: mo Pay
Cuts, Just Less Pay"

NEW YORK.-A mass meeting to
protest against the insufferable con-
ditions imposed upon hospital help
and against the vicious discrimination
being shown foreign-born and Negro
workers was held Friday night at
Irving Plaza, by the Hospital Work
ers League.
Nearly the entire l 200 city hospital
employees who were dismissed since
January were foreign-bo and
there was discrimination even within
this discrimination.
In the Harlem Hospital experienced
Negro nurses were dismissed in spite
of the fact that they we're native
born and therefore citizens.
According to Wilks who was a
member of the delegation that went
to see Commissioner Greet two
weeks ago, (Greef having what even
the Times" termed undue police
protectionD to protest against the
wage and personnel cuts, the Com
missioner said, wages were not cut.
Workers were merely rehired for
less wages" Cd
Porters in city hospitals are used
in operating rooms as assistants to
surgeons, doing work that should be
done by trained nurses. Due to over
crowding, cots mot BEDS for the sick
are placed in ward aiSles and in cor
ridors. Patients who are not too
sick" are taken care of by inexperi-
enced student nurses.
The nurses work twelve hours a
day. The expenditure for meals has
gone down from 321z cents to 20
cents per meal. Work has doubled
and in some cases tripled due to the
decrease in the number Of employ
ees, the placing of an inefficient per-
sonnet, and the rise of infection in
wards.
These results of the so-called
economy" program of Commissioner
Greet were thoroughly denounced by
Morgan of the Council of Foreign
Born. Economy" he said, accord
ing to the dictionary, is the proven
ton of waste. This economy pro-
cram is economy only for the bosses.
1t preserves their profits but it neg
lects the sick and the dying. There
is the real, the criminal wasfe! The
destruction of human beings.
All nurses are forced to Join the
American Nurses Association. It was
the ANA. officials who instigated the
drive against foreign-born workers.
The League will continue its at
tempt to organize hospital help of
every kind. 1t is at present obtain
ing signatures to a petition to be
placed before Commissioner Greet
which demands "a Reinst atement Of
all dismissed city hospital employees
without discrimination. 90 Abolition
Of the last wage-cut. go Immediate
enactment of an hour day for all
hospital employees.

Plan Trade Union Unity Council Work

The development OF the class
struggle unions in New York City has
reached the stage where the question
of the coordination of their efforts
and activities through the Trade
Union Unity Council assumes an i'm
portance as never before. The ac-
tivitieS Of the Council has in the past
suffered from:
l. Inadequate definition of its
tasks and functions.
2. The Separation of the differ
ent unions as they develop into mass
organization.
AS a result of this condition the
Council has not been able to act as
the center of not only policy but or
ganizational leadership, and on the
other hand the affiliated organiza-
tons, developed a. tendency of COM
ing to the Council when they had
difficulties but not reciprocating
when the Council called upon them
in support Of struggles of other I'M
ionized workers outside of their trade.
Of late the tendency towards sep
aratism on the part Of the different
unions has developed to such a point
that it becomes a danger to the APP
plication of the class struggle line
as a whole. Not only have We
development of Separation according
to industry but within the industrial
organizations we have a tendency
towards Separation trade by trade.
And further than that, in trades
where our unions operate in large
shops there is the tendency of orr
entating not upon the development
Of broad struggles in the trade as a
whole but of remaining at politics
shop by shop
PERSPECTIVE
While the various methods of prac-
tical approach organizationally that
have been developed in our different
trade unions within the last 18
months are correct and should be

| der supervision Of the Council. Thi,
to include for the present:
ca All phases of defense activity
(b) The raising of means anc
support through the affiliated organ
izations for our unions in the basic
industries such as metal, marine
transport, chemical.
2. The activities of the different
unions in relation to the struggle Of
the unemployed in industry and
neighborhood.
8. The linking up of concentration
upon certain trades or factories with
the class struggle organizations in
the neighborhoods and these fac
tories.
In order to realize this it is pro-
posed that on the question of defense
activities as we'll as the unemployed
movement separate conferences be
called of those involved in this work
under the leadership of the council.
AS far as the support to the unions
in the basic industries which is of
an urgent nature, it is proposed all
unions affiliated outside of those in
the basic industries pay to the Coun-
Gil:

and 1oc on each additional dollar Of
