Labor Research Data
Indicate Drop Despite
Federal Aid

Both publcly-financed and pri-
vate construction have dropped
sharply from the totals of last year,
it is indicated in figures which
have just been released by the La
for Research Association.
Publicly financed constr u thor
has decreased markedly in recent
months and during May constituted
SO per cent Of all contracts award
ed; in June, only % per cent. This
compares significantly with public
financed contracts last December
which then constituted rs per cent
of the total. Almost the entire in
crease in building, which lasted I'M
til December, 1888, was brought
about by Federal and State ex-
penditures. AS soon as these de-
clined, the whole building industry
came back to near depression lows.
In June, privately-financed con-
Struction awards were 81 per cent
under the total for June of last
year. Residential building contracts,
excluding the seasonal movement,
have thus far shown little increase.
The May total was 6 per cent
smaller than year ago, and the
June total was also smaller than a
year ago.

Los Angeles Police
Beat Two, Jail Five
at Communist Rally

LOS ANGELES, Aug. IA. - The
most brutal and unprovoked attack
by police since the June demonstra-
ton resulted Saturday night in seri-
GUS injury to at least two workers
and the arrest of five.
The police attacked an election
rally of more than 400 workers at
Santa Monica Boulevard and ST.
Andrews Place, after Mayor Shaw
the day before granted specific per-
mission to hold the meeting with
out molestation from the police. The
meeting was held for the Leo Gal
lagher and Communist Party cleo
ton campaign.
The chairman had just opened
the meeting when police rushed
through the crowd and dragged him
from the truck, beating him long
after he had lost consciousness.
Among other arrested workers were
Emil Freed, Communist Party cleo
ton campaign manager; Abe Ber-
nard, young Communist. Harold
Ashe, candidate for Secretary Of
State on the Communist ticket was
those beaten.
The workers marched immediate
ly to the police station to protest
and demanded the release of those

Defend Negro
Beaten in IRT

NEW YORK. White workers
militantly rallied with their fists to
the defense of Allen Russell,
Negro worker, when he was at
tackled and severely beaten by six
special I. r. T. policemen in the
Times Square station yesterday
morning.
Russell, attacked with a black
jack by special policeman Thomas
Martin, wrested the blackjack from
the police thug. Martin then drew
his gun and was joined by five spe-
cial policemen who continued the
attack on the Negro worker. While
more than 800 spectators indignant
ly protested the savage beating of
the Negro, white workers in the
crowd sprang to his defense and
battle followed, with the special
policemen being badly pummelled
until the arrival of police reserves
in response to riot call.

aluminium workers here has APP
peared as a picket committee of "a
was established to direct 24-hour
mass picketing at all plant en-
frances of the three factories of An
drew Melons Aluminium Company
of America. I
The picket committee was set up
at a special meeting of the local
union, at which Dave Williams, A.
F. of L. organizer, spouted a lot of
extremely radical phrases as to what
the American Federation of Labor
would do unless the company on
Gals made haste to join the A, F. of
L. mislesders at conference table.
Although the strike Officially" is
still in the hands of the Williams
Shiskhin outfit, who have power to
order the men back to work when
ever they choose, rank and file lead
ers who hold considerable influence
among the workers declare that no
return to work will matsrialize I'M
til the membership has voted on the
question.
At this meeting the demand was
also raised for a broad strike COM
mittee to direct all electromagnetic
tons, strike relief, picketing, ETC.
but the workers failed to force the
establishment of such a commit
tee.
Controlling as it does the actual
strike functions, the picket commit
tee, comprising the best fighters in
each department, can now play a
decisive role in directing the whole
strike and passing upon any agree
ments which are made with the
company.

WHO'S cor THAT DOLLAR?

Farmers who raise hogs. beef or lambs
for the market are bothering their con-
gressmen to know who is getting all the
money that the American people spend for
their daily platters of beer, pork and
lamb.
One thing. is certain. and that is that
somebody, or several somebodies, must
have the pesky dollars. The consumer who
once owned them hasn't got them any
more. The producer on the other hand
fumbling in the depths of his pocket, is
sure that he hasn't got them. And the
packer, the livestock buyer, the commits
sion man, the meat salesman. the retail
dealer, all join the chorus in perfect GER
tainty that they haven't any more than
they're justly entitled to; and most of them
think they haven't even got that
What chiefly bothers the farmers is
the fact that once upon time. they could
count on receiving pretty fat slice of the
money. In 1913, for example, according
" sLdtISticS cOH0cteus by the eQltOf OF the
Country Home, national farm magazine,
the livestock producer got Sc cents of the
pork dollar, 81 cents of the beef dollar,
and 73 cents of the lamb dollar
Times have changed. Today, accord
ing to the same distinguished. and inn
partial authority, the producer pockets a
mere 81 cents Of the pork dollar, az. cents
of the beef dollar, and SO cents of the lamb
dollar. Who has been. getting the differ
ence, the part the farmer used to get and
doesn't get now? That is the question
that many congressman are being asked to
answer, and they're not having very easy
time doing it. The estimated cost of meats
to the consumer last year was 1866 mil
lion dollars. The farmer got only s721 mil
lions of that total. In other words, he
averaged no more than AZ cents of the
consumer dollar. Transportation took the
next Scents. The balance, about AZ cents,
went for processing and merchandising
costs and profits.

THE POINT OF DEATH

There has been great deal of in
terestsin that5dog put to death by doctors
in Berkeley, Cal, and then restored to
life" again. There is also great deal of
confusion, which is not cleared up by the
doctors printed statements.
The ANIMAL after being dead four
minutes by ordinary medical. tests, was
treated by manipulation and the injection
Of powerful drugs, with the result that
breathing and circulation were restored.
AT the end of two weeks. while showing
such additional signs of life as eating,
blinking the eyes and twitching the ears,
the dog showed no consciousness or intel
ligence. These reactions might be called
automatic Their usual explanation
would be that they are directed by the
''subconscious mind Whether there was
any higher form of mind latent in the dog,
and capable Of revival, no one could say.
Many remarkable recoveries have
been accomplished in recent years, by the
use Of the puIlmotor and other devices, in
the case of persons apparently drowned,
asphyxiated or electrocuted There is far
less agreement than there used to be as to
what constitutes life or death. 1t is harder
to tell when the mind or soul expires or
leaves the body. We know a little about
life. but death remains the great mystery.
