PARIS, June 2.—Raymond Poincare and his cabinet resigned. The next resignation may be that of President | Millerand. | At a caucus of the left groups held yesterday, it was decided to refuse| the task of forming a government at the hands of Millerand. In other words, the president's resignation is demanded.

By a’ vote of 300 to 252 it resisted the attempt of the Tory party to defeat it on the un- employment issue. The parliamen- tary technicality employed was a mo- tion to reduce the salary of Tom Shaw, labor minister, one hundred pounds. The liberals supported the Labor government with a very poor grace. Asquith warned MacDonald that he could not continue giving his support unless the Labor party's election promises were fulfilled.

This 20-year program is to change over all the manual telephones, where you kid the “hello” girls to get.your connections, to. automatic, or dial phones. This will keep Western Blec- tric slaves occupied for years, accord- ing to the plan. Of course it will throw thousands of telephone oper- ators, “centrals,” out of jobs every- where.

The Western Electric bosses at Hawthorne announce that they are particularly fond of Bohemian work- ers. The bosses assert that they find them amenable to the shop discipline and careful, quick workers. One of the company officials said: “The Bohemians are good workers. Most of them own their own homes.” Want Workers to Stay Put. The Western Electric bosses, like all their capitalist clan, want workers who will “stay put,” who will pile up long service records, who will get loaded under a home mortgage and a family and maybe an auto, so that they won't buck aga@nst the boss when he tells them they must do twice as much as they used to and for the same pay. The Western Electric bosses have flattered their Bohemian workers into working harder than ever. They tell the workers that they are fine people and the only dependable kind, and all that sort of bunk, until the Bohemian workers, or the Polish, think they are superior workers and become super- robots for the bosses.

PRAGUE, June 2.—A meeting of the little entente will be held here on June 10 to consider the situation re- fesses that the task of making a capi- talist governmental machine serve the interests of the workers who are un- employed—even in a small way—is much more difficult than he expected. The premier promised that, if given time, he would revive business and put the unemployed to work, thus lifting a heavy tax burden off the backs of the “public.” But in spite of his rosy optimism, his cabinet figures on a permanent army of un- employed numbering 800,000 men. A rather formidable army for the capli- talists to contemplate supporting. A war to wipe out that many would be a blessing providing there were no other complications. But wars have a nasty, habit of bringing other troubles in their train. The liberals fear to tackle the prob- lem of forming a government. The unemployment problem is the hard- est nut for any government to- crack. Asquith prefers to let MacDonald get wrecked before he assumes the sal- vaging role. The Tories are growing in unpopularity. MacDonald feels that he is safe for some time to come. Several labor cabinet officials air- planed to the continent after the vote was taken. Stephen Walsh, secre- tary of state for war, went to Cologne for a two<lay official inspection of British forces along the Rhine. Lord Thompson went to Prague to open the aeronautical pees there. Frank Hodges, chiet Majesty's navy, went to Vienna on another mis- sion. Meanwhile discontent in thé ranks of labor over the inability or the uu willingness of the so-called labor gov- ernment to relieve the workers’ con- dition is growing. MacDonald and his crew are almost entirely con- cerned with stretching out their term in office as long as possible. They are shedding their “socialist” camou- flage. They are wearing two faces and speaking two languages these days. To the capitalists they are imperialists and for the preservation of the present system. To the work- ers, they are for the establishment of a new order. Only J. H. Thomas repudiates socialism entirely and openly boasts of the present system and the blessings of imperialism.
