Deputy Jean Re- naud led the onslaught. Renaud demanded to know why the government, supposed to be a social- ist.one pretending pacificism toward other nations and its own oppressed classes, should ask credits for more men, material and horses than the conservatives required before the war. The government 607,000 men, 32 eommissioned is asking funds for ,000 officers, 72,000 non- officers and 60,000 horses. Renaud pointed out that these | figufes represented 100,000 men, 4,000 officers, 2,000 non-commissioned offi- cers and 45,000 horses more than the army of the conservatives between 1905. and 1913. The country faced but one possible ener -Germany— he declared in denouncing a militaristic Policy.

Unexpected aid to gov- ernment came from Paul Boncou cialist and French delegate to the league of natior He said that to reduce the existi army would “con- stitute danger of death to the coun- try.” EMPLOYERS ROB FOREIGN LABOR IN AUSTRALIA SYDNEY, Australia, March 2.— Large numbers of Italian, Greek, Bul- garian and Jugo-Slav immigrants are being ‘exploited at ridiculously low wages in Australia. In northern Queensland, Italians have been brot in by ‘syndicates of sugar cane growers, and work for wages as low as 16 shillings (approximately $3.75) per Week, and board. Unscrupulous employers induce im- migrants.from Mediterranean coun- tries to.sign agreements to work at the union wage, but after transport- ing them to country jobs, pay them much, léss.

It was too heavy a burden for the ‘Society for Technical Aid to Soviet Russia to keep up the building of the Soviet school. It has been practically a house of the workers where many different labor organizations met. Everybody made use of the building but only the Technical Aid Society carried the burden. A few weeks ago a conference of labor orga nizations was called and a propos lon was made to them to take over’ the building on a_ co-operativé” basis. The conference agreed to the® plan and the matter was turned over to the organizations. The new name was adopted at the conférence. The three above mentioned’? organiza- tions decided in the affirmative, The others are still discussitg the mat- ter.

Rubbed their nos- es, turned the film, made another scratch on the plate retouching the picture of millionaire debutantes, got mad, called a mass meeting of the Photographic Workers’ Union of America—to look at this advertise- ment again, now photographed and handed around to the assembled art- ists who puckered up their lips and got ready to say something. that would not look well on the screen or anywhere else. Get Together in Big Meeting. } At the Stuyvesant Casino, the boys from the dark rooms of the industry that is not in the limelight of the press and the public assembled to make one great stride forward toward a more complete organization. “It’s about time that we do some- thing,” said Louis A. Baum, secretary of the union, who acted as chairman of the meeting, and read another juicy ad that made its way under the skin of the fellows that were already some- what touched up. “WAN TED— Photographer, all around man, must be neat, alert, ac- customed to wearing a high collar, creased trousers and does not object to having his shoes shined occasional- ly. Salary to start, $10 a week.” Mere Boys Do Work. “Mere boys have to work in dark and damp places,” said Baum, “where sanitary conditions are unthinkable, where smell and fumes drive you in- sane, with no air and not a chance to escape without contracting disease and getting started rapidly on the way to an early grave.” “There is only one thing for you men and boys to do,” said J. O. Ben- | tall, one of the speakers. “All work- ers who expect to protect themselves must do so together@ One man de- mands do not get far. The demand of a strong union gets anything it calls for. There are 5,000 of you here in New York. When 5,000 of you are or- ganized the bosses will squeal and not you.” Sadie Amter told the audience that | “the great factor in the present civil- ization is organization. In Russia all a workers are in the union and they do the bossing themselves. There they own the government as well as the jobs.” Worker Makes First Speech. The first speech in his life was made by Irvine Overfield, a member of the union, “The bosses are or- ganized,” said Overfield, “and we might as well make up our minds that they have not organized to be able to do more good to us, They have already the blacklist and can tell who | is helping to organize the union of | the workers.” Brother Lakin told how the boss keeps track of every minute of the time spent in developing or retouch- ing or printing, and showed how im- possible it is to do the work expect- ed. The task is like that in a prison. Many signed application cards to unite with the union and plans for getting all the workers in ‘the photo- staphic industry interested, are laid, ND. NON LEAGUE OF THEI RTISAN IN ONE TUNTS for New Betrayals (Special to The Daily Worker) BISMARCK, N. D., March 2.—Pan- demonium reigned ‘supreme in the lower house of the ve Dakota le- gislature when H. 9 came up for final_passage, bie being at the foot of the calendar; ving only thir- ty minutes in which pass and to be taken to the senate, This was the fiftieth and the last day and hour | when all bills passed had to go to the senate. It seems as if the non-partisan league politicians slipped one over on the indeventaaay by introducing this bil] at such a @ hour, mainly for the purpose of putting the I. V.

SSS SSS SSeS e ss .15 Cents Our Readers’ Views From aJob Hunter. To the DAILY WORKER.—I have a friend, a subscriber to the DAILY W@RKER, who has talked to me about the “class struggle,” as she calls it, and I think she is right, be- cause I am one of the working girls, who is struggling to make an honest living. I have been employed in a factory. Our wages have been cut. Many of us have been laid off, I among them. I have walked “the street for days, yes weeks, but have failed to obtain work. My shoes have worn out. My body 1s ured out, IT am getting discouraged, I hardly know what to do. Something should be done to change the conditions in our country. The rich have plenty while the poor workers hardly exist. I read ads in the daily papers, “Help Wanted,” and tho I arrive at 7:30 a. m., the man in the office tells me they don’t need help. Some time I get so angry that I “ball” them out, ask them what they have their old ad in for. I have begun to think that these are fake ads just to make many believe one could get work if one wanted it or just’to see how many are out of work so they can cut wages again. I want work. I want to make an honest living. As I have tramped the street I have met many men, women and girls all looking for work. I am 19 years old and never before have I seen conditions as they are now. I am not a Communist or a radical, but I have read some copies of the DAILY WORKER. I see that it is strictly a workers paper; that it takes up all the fight of the working class, so long live the DAILY WORKER. Yours for better conditions, Elsie Prieve. - U. $..Soldier Had 1,500 Francs PARIS, March 2.—The murder oi Harvey Geary, United States army sergeant at Beuvoir on July 16, 1919, was today believed to have been solv- ed as the result of a confession made by Louis Lefaure, according to-a dis- patch to the Journal from Orleans to- day.
