Demands More
Pay; First Strike
on Ship in Years
Marine Workers Indus
trial Union Leads
Fight for Raise

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. 18. -
The crew of the S. S. Diamond &C.
ment with the full support of the
officers and longshoremen have
walked out solidly under the leader
ship of the Marine Workers Indus
trial Union demanding a $40 increase
in wages and recognition of ship
committee.
The strike is the first strike for
an increase in wages on American
ships in number of years. The
first organized struggle that sue
ceeded in uniting seamen and Off
GERS and longshoremen. for at least
nine years and is therefore of ex-
IRENE Importance.
The strike is a direct result of the
work of the National Convention of
the Marine Workers Industrial I'm
ion where the question of establish
ing a united front of all workers in
the marine industry was taken up
also the question of struggle for an
increase in wages was made the CEN
trail point. The codes worked out at
the Convention, which will be pre-
scented in Washington, have aroused
widespread interest in all ports and
show that the seamen and longshore-
men are not only endorsing them but
preparing to fight for them.

and more and more, workers who SO
faithfully believe every word of the
press as the truth, would be more
enlightened. and the ignorant and
misinformed will disappear. while a
greater number of class conscious
workers will appear. The Daily
Worker is the only weapon that can
be used to expose the lies and scan
dals of the press against the worker
and his interests. It is my hone that
every new lie and scandal will be
ayidly greeted with big Bronx
Cheer" in the near future. Then we
will be able to really do things.
We can conclude that the new
Daily Worker has a great job to per-
form and it should not. worry about
finance. 1t is UP to every friend of
the Daily Worker to see to it. Every
union club or affiliated organization
should tax their employed members
a certain sum per week, the mini
mum being 2 cents per week. To me,
the Daily Worker is as necessary as
bread, therefore pledge to send IS
cents to the Daily" every week.
Enclosed you will find rs cents. 1
hope the other readers will follow my
example and help the Daily" to help
them.

Thousands at Union
Square Strike
Demonstration
BY ARTHUR PENsE

NEW YORK.-A mass demoustra-
ton of $4,000 striking dressmakers
took place yesterday in Union Square.
Soon after Q o'clock the workers
began to march on the square, with
placards proclaiming the solidarity of
the Industrial Union with the striking
workers Of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union.
At the same time many placards
condemned the settlements between
the IL.GW.U. leaders on one hand
and ex-police commissioner Whalen
and the dress bosses on the other.
we have no quarrels with the strik-
ers of the IL.G.W.U," read one
placard. "One strike, one picket line
and one union" read another. Down
with the temporary settlement" a
large bloc-lettered sign read. But
the conversation among the workers
was just as direct only more de-
tailed than the signs:
Irving Potash, as chairman. amidst
the cheering crowds warned the
workers of the danger confronting the
dress strike, and he especially en-
phasized the need at the present
moment of the solidarity between the
members of the Industrial Union and
the striking workers of the I. L. G. w.
H. Cohen, a member of the general
executive board of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union, was &C
claimed when he condemned the con-
ferences being held between the I. L.
G. w. U. leaders and the bosses with
out the workers consent. Other
speakers were Rose Wortis and Ben
Gold, leaders Of the Needle Trades
Union.

Frantic Efforts in
Buffalo to Put Over
RA;InduStry Sinks
Roosevelt Ballyhoo Is
Placed Next to
Closed Plant
BY BILL DUNE

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 18.-Efforts
to put over the N. R. A. here may be
described as frantic, due mostly to
the collapse of industry in this huge
manufacturing center and wheat and
iron ore port.
Gigantic signs are plastered over
Buffalo reading: Roosevelt, we shall
not pass another winter such as last. -
Directly opposite one such sign is a
big closed, partially dismantled plant
of the Bessemer Cement Co. A few
blocks farther on is the closed plant
Of McClintic Marshall. In between
are patches of scraggly vegetables
struggling in the arid soil with 30
foot sign saying these are the Beth
lehem Steel employees gardens. The
scene is picture of decay.
The Buffalo clergy yesterday wired
President Roosevelt 100 per cent sup
port, pledging all efforts to make
their rally on Sunday a success.
In sharp contrast to the clergy is
the determined attitude of the strik-
ers at the River Road plant of the
Wickwire Steel Co. They stand pat
for SIS a day minimum for skilled
workers, and a minimum of 81 and
eight hours for other groups of
workers.
Work sharing under the N. r. A.
In this plant nullifed IS per cent
increase in wages, leaving the workers
worse off than before.

is trying to get the men to return to

organized in the Amalgamated Cloth

LID. Votes Again
to Continue in i. s.
Anti-War Congress
Second Ballot Taken
After S. P. Chiefs
Withdrew

NEW YORK.-Decision to continue
the League for Industrial Democ-
racy's support of the United States
Congress Against War was voted by
the Board of Directors of the League,
the Arrangements Committee for the
Congress announced today.
Most of the L. I. D. directors are
members of the Socialist Party. The
vote was taken after the National
Executive Committee of the Socialist
Party withdrew from the Congress.
The L. I. D. had been represented on
the Congress committee since its Or
ganization. When the Socialist lead
ership withdrew, the L. I. D. informed
its directors and asked for new
vote.

Anti-War Congress
Date Is Postponed

NEW YORK.-Decision to post
pone the United States Congress
Against War from the first week in
September to September 20 and 80
and October / was made at meet
ing of the Congress arrangements
committee Thursday night.
"The late entry of many orgarl-
cations into the preparations for the
Congress makes it necessary to post
pone it in order to make possible the
representation Of all organizations
which are prepared to take mill
tant stand against war;" state
ment of the Committee said.
"By holding the Congress four
weeks later than planned, it will be
possible to have many more delegates
than would have been possible at the
earlier date"
1t was pointed out also that the
postponement would enable Henri
Barbusse, famous French writer,
who is now sick, to attend, and that
it would also give time for Tom
Mann, veteran British working class
leader to arrive if the mass pressure
now being modified forces the State
Department to give him visa.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, February 2o-Brokers
expression of opinion on the stock
market was rather indefinite today
though some commentators stressed the
undercurrent of resistance evident last
week.
Clark, Childs & Keech-Perhaps the
most significant part of the markets S
action last week was its confirmation of
strong support at the lows of the trad
ing range which have been good for the
past five months.
Hornblower & Weeks-Although the
current reactionary tendencies cannot
be regarded as having definitely spent
their forces, real encouragement is to
be found in the firm undertone being
displayed by the market during selling
periods.
Shields & Co.-The fluctuations will
be Influenced mainly by day-to-day
news.

There was no change in the news and
no fresh light on the general situation.

Union Pacific broke through SO, Della

$4,000 in 1915, then again continued
to steadily increase to 1863, 1913 COO in
1920. In 1921 the number dropped to

with a rise to 1,003, $4,000 in 1928
From 1923 to 1881 there was a steady
drop the figures for the latter year
being 707, ,087, 900 or less than the num-

Communication traffic, however, has
grown during recent years while rail-

CANADIAN CURRENCY

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 2O.-Sterling
has recovered from about 1924 to s344
while the Canadian dollar has remained
around 16 or IT per cent discount
This has increased purchasing power of
sterling In Canadian funds and accel-
Grated the wheat movement.
However there Is the necessity of
keeping Canadian currency within rea-
sonable reach of American dollars be-
cause of the large Canadian debt in
the United States. Also, there is a
tendency to prevent the Canadian dol
lar from approaching too close to parity
with sterling because the discount on
sterling payments should serve to off,
set, partially at least, the premium on
American payments. Presumably there
Is some sort of control, but the natural
laws also help.
For instance, there Is about IL per
cent premium on forward sterling quo
tations. Taking advantage of this, in
stitutions with surplus funds can send
them to London and invest them in 90
day bills and receive about l5s per
cent return, almost three times as much
as such an investment returns in New
York. This applies to both American
and Canadian funds. In view of this
it is logical to suppose that the decline
of the Canadian dollar will not stray
far from its intermediary position be-
tween American funds and the British
pound.
