C., April 7.— The much-heralded pfosperity for the Pacific northwest js further off than ever so far as employment is concerned. The reason for this is that the timber bosses of this country recently met in conference and decided that lumber prices could only be held up by shutting down most of the logging camps and operating saw mills on a 6-day week basis. More Production With Less Labor. ‘This plan will be continued until the market eases and then the camps will work a while at break-neck speed until the workers have produced too much t6 sell at a profit—then another shutdown and the bread line.

Meanwhile the British army of oc- cupation is still camped at Abbassia, five miles from this city. Lord Allenby in charge of the Brit- ish forces, declared here, “The army of occupation will remain until the British government changes its Dlans.” ish Columbia, lumber workers last year cut more board feet of lumber than in 1923 with no more men em- ployed in the industry. Total export lumber figures.from British Columbia during 1924 were 639,156,324 board feet against 521,707,132 feet for 1923. Lumber Work Most Perilous to Life. Canadian lumber workers have paid for the increased production, with their lives. The lumber industry holds the record for the greatest num- ber of fatalities not excepting mining or railway operating. For the three months ending 1924 there were 312 fatal accidents of which 66 occurred in the lumber industry or more than one-fifth of all the fatal industrial ac- Build Barracxs.

Stearns, who has been living at the White House as President Coolidge’s “ad- visor,” hag created a stir in Italy by arriving at Naples on the same ship as Thomas W. Lamont, political bank. er of the Morgan financial interests, Altho Stearns and Lamont both claim that they are coming to Italy merely as tourists, Italy believes that arrangements for an American loan to bolster up the falling lira on the world exchange surely must be in the wind, This is offset, however, by the ob- servation, recently made by Reynolds, he Chicago banker who visited here, out who did not speak of his conclu- sions until he returned to the United States. Reynolds remarked that he thought the regime of Mussolini would soon pass, and added significantly that the strikes of the fascist unions in Northern Italy had shown American capital that fascism was not to be. de- pended on much longer. Stearns and Lamont refused to talk on anything more political than the excellence of the food on the steamer which brought them. Eight Years Too Late Christians Discover Capital Causes Wars (Special to The Daily Worker) MONTEVIDEO, Uraguay, April 7.— Even the sanctimonious christian “work congress,” held here as a part of the general plan to bring “harm- ony” between American imperialist expansion in Latin American and its victims of, that region, could not escape the question of the connection between war and imperialism. On this subject, the report of the congress gives some interesting ana- lysis, though of course the churchmen have no remedy for the evils they depict. Part of the report reads as follows: “The capitalist organization of mo- dern society as a cause of war needs special study. Many maintain that it is the principal cause of war and that the war system will continue un- til private capital is destroyed. “Capitalists have close relations ‘with, if not virtual control of, the gov- ernments. The resources of the var- by | ous governments, such as diplomacy, and navies, are utilized by big vember and December, 1924, it will be seen that the lumber industry claims the lives of two workers every week.

Larrimore, Milinois traction system lineman, in- jured March 20; when seven persons were killed near Carlinville, in an in- terurban crash, slowly began to com- prehend today the lapse of time since he saw the impending disaster and tried to warn his companions. “Jump, boys, jump.” Those words, tha:warning fate had halted, burst from, Larrimore's lips at the first dim flicker of conscious- ness. Sand hogs, of compressed air workers who make the bores under rivers for New York subways and vehicular tubes, won a radical re- duction of hours of work which their union expects will considerably les- sen the number-of cases of the "stheir occupational disease.

The Amalgamated claims that the only way to have the golden rule in opera- tion is to permit the workers to or- ganize, which is not encouraged by Arthur Nash who owns the “golden rule” shops. He is an ex-minister from the south who has the backing of certain banks and uses the golden rule gag as an ad ih his business, the or- ganizers claim. The shops employ mostly widows.
