CLEVELAND NEGRO DEATH RATE 29.1 PER THOUSAND Four Times Rate of Native Whites CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 21— The death rate for Cleveland Ne- groes in 1924 was four times as great as for native born whites according to a recent survey by the city health department. The report gives this information: Total Cleveland population (1920 census) 805,427. Native-born whites, 529,090 or 65.7 per cent, Foreign-born whites, 241,444, about 30 per cent, Negroes, 84,529, over 4 per cent, Chinese, Japanese, Indian and other races, 864 persons, Mortality rate per 1,000 (1924): Native-born whites 7.9 pte. Foreign-born whites 1n8.” Negroes 20.1 ” ‘The report goes on to say: “Most preventable causes of death are equal- ly preventable among all population groups when adequate prophylaxis ts practised. It is probable, however, that prophylaxis among certain popu- lation groups entails many difficulties not encountered among other groups.” Enlarge Scope of the Russ o—Oriental Chamber of Commerce MOSCOW, April 21.—It is proposed to amend and supplement the stat- utes of the Russo-Oriental chamber of commerce, with a view to enlarg- ing the scope of the chamber’s acttvi- ties in the internal markets, as well as promoting the commercial influ- ence in oriental countries.

BUILDERS A VARIOUS WAYS FOR VARIOUS LOCALS The Los Angeles System Mary methods—mostly good—are being used by our DAILY WORKER agents and BUILDERS. We bring to your attention something that is little spoken of in this column and something our agents seldom use: local circular- ization. But this circular letter by Comrade Globerman, city agent for Los Angeles, gives in addition to a brief, well written letter, also a payment plan connected with it, which heaps followed makes a splendid plan to build “our daily.” jere it is: Dear Friend: it is about time that you should co-operate in building up a powerful national DAILY WORKER which should be able effectively to resist all the abuse perpetrated against your class. The DAILY WORKER contains all the news of the world of labor. It is the only daily in America that fights for the interest of the work- ing class. Quit reading the capitalist press only—read your own also! 1f you want to understand what is going on in Soviet Russia, Italy, Eng- land, in every part of the world—READ THE DAILY WORKER! HOW.TO GET IT: One year subscription costs $6, But you are a worker. It is probably hard for you to pay all the money at once, so we have ar- ranged a payment plan: a payment of $1 down, and the balance of $5, to be paid $1 each month.

(Continued from page 1) Matthew Woll and William Green will agree. j eas | Batt seems to think that the rank and file of the American labor movement have not sufficient conti- dence in their leaders. He did not say whether this lack of confidence | was due to the ignorance of the lead- ers or because of their corruption. The W. E. B. will set this to rights. Listen: “If properly conducted, and there is no reason why it shouldn’t |be, it will radiate better understand- ing among the rank and file of organ- jized labor, and with petter under- standing among the rank and file will come better leadership.” Batt did not have to take a course at the W. E. B. to learn that there is more to be gain- ed by the ambitious self-seeking car- eerist by coming to a better under- | standing with the labor leaders than lby being in the opposition for the sake of principle. He has made his peace with the A. F. of L. bureaucracy and is drawing his reward. se ENEGADES like Batt are worth their weight in gold to the mas- ter class. By mouthing revolutionary phrases they gain the confidence of the most class conscious of the wotk- ers, only to betray that confidétice when the workers are most in need of guidance and assistance. This is what Batt has done. He represents a type that is common in América and in all countries. When the Batts begin to slip, they rarely stop on this side of hell. There is no task too filthy for them, provided there is money in it. Even Batt’s worst 6n- emies do not charge him with being a fool who would join the republican party and line up with the extreme right wing of the A. F. of L. machine for nothing. ed sa. INDENBURG is getting more ap- plause than came his way since the days when a patriotically craty population were driving nafis into a wooden figure of the victor of Tannen- burg, at so much per nail. He Was then one of Germany’s favorite popu- lar heroes. But the war ended dis- asterously for Hindenburg and those who are driving nails in a wooden statue of him during the days of vic- tory would drive them into his skull after the defeat, but for the socialists who saved the marshal’s neck and the capitalist system in Germany. *. * HE socialist president having per- formed his historical mission, died, and the monarchists are having lots of fun. Even a nice bloody slaughter feast is by no means out of the reckoning. The monarchists are getting cocky. Former Crown Prince Wilhelm has been exonerated of the crimes he was alleged to have com- mitted during the war. If Hinden- burg gets more votes than Marx, no doubt the kaiser will be waxing his mustache in Potsdam in the near fu- ture. This is not a prediction, but should it come to pass, the socialists alone are responsible. There is no danger of the czar coming back. The Russian workers and peasants took care of that. Costly Laces for Fine Ladies Soiled with Workers’ Sweat By LAURA BRANNIN. VENICE — (FP) — Venetian point lace is perhaps the most exquisite and the most expensive Ince made in Europe. But in the miserable little island of Burano, an hour’s ride from Venice, where the finest lace is made, the highest skilled workers at this trade are paid 9 lire (1 lira, 44cts.) per day of 8 hours. The local Babbitts {swell with pride as they relate how under the patronage of the good queen mother Margherita, the art of lace making, which had been almost lost, is being revived. Burano is a very poor fishing village. In almost every home lace. is made by the mother and young girls. A lace handkerchief at the queen mother’s ‘school’ on which a woman works for a week, sells for $10. A large piece of lace on which three women spend a year, receiving about $120 each for their labor, sells for $2.00. at the school-which keeps the change.
