SECURITIES BOARD
Demands Facts on st. Pauls
Stock

The Federal Securities and Ex-
change commission, through its gen
eral counsel, John ]. Burns, has called
on the ST. Pauls cotton mill of St.
Pauls, n. c., for a full statement of
fact and detail as to the sale of its
stock to its employees. This stock has
been sold to the workers on install
ment payments, deducted weekly from
their pay envelopes.
General Counsel Burns in discuss
ing the inquiry launched by the COM
mission, said:
"Our records show that no secur-
ity Of the ST. Pauls Cotton Mill Com
pany is registered under the securities
act of 1888. Unless a security is SO
registered, or is exempted under spe-
cific provisions of the act or the
regulations of the commission, it is
unlawful for any person to sell the
security or to deliver it for or after
sale through the mails or by any
means of interstate commerce. The
fact that an issuer is selling stock to

GREAT BRITAIN
Assumes Care of Jobless
Low Wage Farmers

London.-Great Britain has per-
manently assumed full care and main
tenance of every able-bodied wage
Garner in the country who is earning
normally less than $25 week and who
is unemployed.
About 100000 wage earners, rep
resenting more than 34,000,000 per-
sons out of a population of 45,000,000
passed under the care of the new un-
employment assistance board.
The 100000 wage earners are
guaranteed government assistance for
an indefinite period when they are
out of john cash, as matter of
right and decency, with no poor law
stigma attached.
The only restrictions are that they
must be between 16 and 65 years,
make real efforts to find work and
must normally earn less than $25
week The board starts work with
government deposit in the Bank of
England of S25,000,0o0.
The additional cost to the govern
ment will be, according to official Sc
Inmates, not less than S40,000,000.
Of the 17O00,O00 wage earners,
about 100000 are under the unem-
ployment insurance scheme and, when
out Of a job, will draw their usual
contractural benefits. The remaining
100000 include those who have not
hitherto been eligible for unemploy-
ment insurance, such as farm labor
ers, domestic servants and those
who employ themselves, such as news
boys and street vendors.
About 100000 insured workers
probably will turn to the board in
1885. In all the board probably will
maintain 100000 men, women and
children the first year.
The basic allowance is "a shillings
week for a man and his wife-say
$6 a week-plus Is cents for each
child under 8 years Of age; 81 cents
for those between 5 and 8; 81 weekly
for those between s and II; $1.13 fer
those between II and IA, and S1.50
| for those between IA and IS. This
rate assumes that the wage earner's
! weekly rent is not more than $1.87.
If he is paying more than that, the
scale is adjusted upward. II he has
saved any money, he is not expected to
consume his savings unless they are
well above the average working class
scale.

Would Avoid Strike
Christopher hoped that strike
could be avoided, for he realized the
hostility and bitterness that would
grow out of it. He studied the move
ments of each weaver, and the skill
and rapidity with which they perform
ed their tasks. After nearly four hours
the management and the workers
agreed that he had had enough time
to make his decision.
Then he carefully explained his
position to the management and to the
workers, and his desire to be fair to
each of them. He did not believe the
work load should be increased, and he
felt the change in pay unjustifed as
viewed from the tasks the weavers
We're performing. 2 The management
and the workers accepted all the
points he laid won, and his decision
went into effect.

closely, and helped to pick out, make
start-ups, change the filling, draw in
the ends, and all the other things
that go with weaving. He counted the

BY JOSEPH A. WISE


Chicago (ILNS)-The American
people would be shocked and stirred
to appropriate action were they given
a true and accurate picture of the
behind -the-scenes manipulations of
international finance, commerce and
industry in reference to communism
in world affairs.
Enough surface facts are discern
ible to warrant a thoroughing con-
gressional investigation, but that is
unlikely inasmuch as the money inter
ests involved are too big and power
full to permit of such a course.
Congress will continue its investi-
cation as long as it sticks to the
academic phase of communism, but
will be told where to head in, as
soon as it treads on the toes of in
ternational big business and finance.
Red Leaders We're Pawns
The leaders of the communist
party in the United States are mere
pawns in the gang. They allow
themselves to be used as agents pro-
vocateur and strikebreakers by the
biggest industrial interests in this
country.
1t is not the object of the COM
- 4bn
economic condition of the work
ing people of America, nut rather
to serve the insane objectives of
big business by making condi-
tions worse.
The communists horn in" on le-
gitimate labor organizing and strike
efforts not to help, but to make those
efforts abortive In return they re
ceive their Judas price from big busi.
ness, and honest and competent probe
would disclose.
Professional Patriots Benefits
No labor organizer, worth his salt
accepts communist ''help," but dam
phool and racketeering professiona
patriots are getting lot of front
page publicity as a result of then
efforts to identify American trade
unionism and communism as one anC
the same.
Oil and steel and related industries
and financial interest are the big bac
wolves in this gigantic game of inter
national intrigue.
There is apparently an under
cover fight to determine who is to bt
top dog as between the various
groups of big business and financia
interests.
Oil and Steel Loom Big
Standard Oil and United State
Steel figure largely in the picture
Both are engaged in worldwide busi
ness. Russia has tremendous oil re
sources.

tions, is the American fiscal agent Q

How chummy and financially help
full is John D. Rockefeller toward W
2. Foster through the medium 0
the Chase National?
Steel Has Big Hand in Game

ROUND TABLE TALK
REMOVES STRIKE THREAT
Mill President Picks Arbiter to Make Impartial Decision
Bosses and Workers Pulling Together

Shelby, N. C.-Mark up a victory
for friendly conference and negotia-
ton, for in Shelby this week was a
victory that is epochal!
The result: A threatened strike
dissipated. The management has
demonstrated its fairness and good
faith, and won the confidence of its
employees in greater measure
than it has ever enjoyed. The EN-
ployes have convincing evidence Of
the good faith of the managers
from President Earl Hamrick down
and they have gone to work with a
will, determined to make better quail
ity cloth, get the maximum produc-
ton, and help the mill make profits
and have a successful year.
They have a slogan: No more de
preston for this mill; we all pull to-
gether.
1t happened at the Eton mill, where
trouble was imminent and a strike
in prospect for the next morning. The
management proposed to increase the
work load, and there was pay reduc-
ton in sight. Eight weavers woulC
have lost their jobs. And then Presi
dent Hamrick, with Overseers Quinn
and Abercrombie, met with a unior
ship committee consisting of P L
Davis, chairman; George Robertson
G. w. Frye, and Paul R. Christopher
of the United Textile Workers o.
America.
