The union opposed the principle of flat rates of pay, and agreed to increases being fixed on the following basis: (2) Qualifications obtained by exam- ination and years of experience in ‘practical locomotive running; (2) ad- vancement from minimum to maxti- mum rates of pay without restriction by defined periods of service.

The writer has been working in mines all over the country, and there is not a mine in the country, except probably Utah, where they can pro- duce coal as cheap. And in Utah they can produce it no cheaper. Compared to the other mines, they have practically no expenses for day ™men, except, haulage. Utah has the same vein of coal and pays the same pwages a8 here. Probably they have other expenses exceeding those here, Only Revolution Can Stabilize Industry Here are facts that speak for them- Selves.

Dr, Butler and his friends think that this institution must live for- ever'so that its principles may be perpetuated. This is mhat the sen- tinels stand for, shoulder to shoulder with fixed bayonets. Maintenance of the fundamental principles of the constitution; opposition to federal encroachment on the vested rights of states, and death to Communism. The latter of course is the main object. NEGRO CONGRESS NEEDS $10,000 FOR LABOR WORK Much Has Already Been Accomplished The American Negro Labor Con- gress must raise $10,000.00 to carry on the necessary preparatory work of the coming congress, which will be held ‘beginning October 25th in Chicago. Up till now the National Committee has been carrying on its work thru the personal donations of a few indi- viduals and organizations. Now, how- ever, they are running short of funds. Their newspaper, The Negro Cham- pion, is being published twice every month. A pamphlet on racial discrim- ination, dealing with the Negro prob- lem, is being prepared. An organizer has been sent into the Southern rstates to do the necessary work in organizing for the congress. They have launched a drive for funds. $10,000 is their goal. It is yet to be seen how sincere are the differ- ent organizations and individuals who have endorsed the coming American Negro Labor Congress.

OMeial Organ of CLASS DIVISION SPLITS GHNESE STRIKE UNITY But Imperialists’ Aggres- sion Renews It (International Press Correspondence) MOSCOW, June 23 (By Mail)—The latest telegrams from China describe the situation there as follows: “The main struggle is in Shanghai where the strike is already in its third week. !Among the strikers there are 150,000 industrial workers. The differentiation of the movement is daily becoming sharper. On the one side are the revolutionary work- ing masses, the revolutionary student body, and the small traders; on the other side—the bourgeoisie and the vacillating intellectuals who are ever more inclined towards a compromise with the foreign powers, which fact meets with the greatest resistance on the part of the workers and students. But the aliem powers rejected even the modest demands of the Shanghai chamber of commerce, and the nego- tiations carried on in Shanghai be- tween the foreign consuls and the Chinese government commission were unsuccessful because the former were willing to grant only the less import- ant demands such as apology by the foreign powers, and the punishment and dismissal of those guilty, where- as they refused to discuss the main demands such as the abolition of the mixed consular courts, the right of Chinese municipalities to vote, etc., under the pretext that these demands stood in no direct relation to the re- cent events. The negotiations were transferred to Peking; where they will be con- tinued between the consulates and the gove: mat; this circumstance is causing crate among the revolu- tionary eleménts, because Peking, not having an trial proletariat, may be more inclined to effect a comprom- ise. : At any rate it is certain that irre- spective of the diplomatic negotia- tions, the proletariat of Shanghai will insist upon its’ demands and will re- ject all compromises. $1,000 Reward for Stoolpigeons. | In the British concessions at Hong-| kong, the strike is general.

A parade. flags, and bringing up the rear were four preachers, one being the fort chaplain in uniform. It was surely imposing and Pres. Coolidge would have rent his Puritan soul in despair had he seen the turnout. Crowd Is Canvassed The army chaplain canvessed the crowd at the street conrer for “volun- teers,” with the result mentioned.

S. school history?” Everyone Looks Bored He wanted to read the preamble to the Declaration of Independence and the service was held up for fifteen minutes till a copy was secured. Even the hard boiled troops looked bored. Go ahead Cal, a few more of your freak ideas like Defense tests will work wonders in disgusting the work- ing man with militarism.
