SIMPLY CANNOT. BE SATISFIED; Even Aibitration Is Now Turned Down BOSTON, July 22.—The Building Trades Employers’ Assoication of Bo- ston has appealed to Secretary of La- bor Davis to survey and correct in the employers’ favor the recommen- dations made by*three federal conci- ators in regard to the demand of the laborers’ union for advance of wages from 65 and 70 cents and hour to 77% and 80 cents an hour. The conciliators had advised that the dispute be arbitrated, each side to name a representative and if no agree- ment were reached afterrfive days a third arbitrator to be named by Davis, In making their arbitration recom- mendation the conciliators said that the laborers might have been able to force a better wage award had they continued their strike. The strike was called off to give the conciliators an opportunity to do something. Meanwhile Davis has gone to Hu- rope and there is talk in the laborers’ union of going out on strike again un- less the employers agree to arbitra- tion. Fire Department Chief Insists on Open Door (By Worker Correspondent.) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 22.— Chief Ringer of the fire department, called on 85 officers of the fire depart- ment, all of whom are members of the fire fighters’ union, and informed them that “a department cannot run efficiently with dual authority.” This is tantamount to an order for them to abandon their union cards. A standing vote was taken on the question, which resulted in a 10 to 1 vote in favor of pulling out of the union. When murmurs of dissatis- faction arose today, Chief Ringer an- nounced he will call another meeting for a secret ballot. This is a move to break up the fire fighters’ union. The union is seven years old. J. W. Simcoe, who is secretary of the union, and an unrelenting foe of the left wing, will now have it brot home to him that political treason against the working class is not al- ways appreciated by the capitalist ff politicians in the way that labor fak- / ers feel it ought to be.

BOSTON BOSSES. | ORD SLAVES: MUST | VACATIONS BY PRODUCING yee remmaarer PAY FOR:THEIR ENOUGH TO KEEP SHOPS OPEN AT CAPACITY By PLEB,:Worker Correspondent. ETROIT, July 22.—Here at the River Rouge shops of Henry Ford, the “atto king,” employes will have two word to every worker who is fortunate enough to slave for the bosses the year around, as this little recreation is beneficial to health and mind. So this summer a new system is being tried to grant this vacation and “Altho contrary to the usual practice, production will be main- tained as nearly normal as possible.” #———_________. here it is: This will be possible, officials exp!ain, by a “staggered” plan by which “one department reopons as another closes.” ,Im other words it means the most scientific exploitation that has, ever been put into practice. For. some time past straw, bosses have, been driving the slaves, faster than heretofore, and in this sweltering hheat.it is almost beyond endurance to stand the strain of this devilish speed- up n But,.to get ready for “vacation” there must be overproduction in,every department so that all the slaves will get two week off without pay and without hindering the normal flow of profits to the “auto kings” pockets. So new schemes are tried to squeeze out more sweat and blood from the workers in the interests of the never satisfied god of profit. But such an outrage will not last forever. Sooner or later this producing giant will realize it’s place in the world and throw off those leeches from his back, and only Communists are showing the true path to travel for the complete emancipation of the working class from slavery and op- pression. Haitian “Bandits” Were Patriots, Says Plea to U. S. Senate NEW YORK, July 22.—‘There was no such thing as bandftry in Haiti before American intervention,” says James Weldon Johnson, secretary, Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People, in Volume 1 of the testimony given before the’ senate committee on foreign relations, on the subject of American dominae tion and exploitation of Haiti and oth- er Carribean nations. “They had a country in which the percentage of crime was considerably less than in our own country. Rob- bery was almost unknown. “Those Haitians who got the name of ‘bandits’ were men engaged in a futile attempt to expel the invader, believing they could do something to» regain the sovereignty of their ‘na- tive soil. The America of 1776 would have called them patriots, mot band- its.” Will Faker Morones Lay Off Communists and Get Safety Law?

THE DAILY.WORKER Page Five BUILD DERS AT 1K A Daily Worker Builder Does Most Important Work Have You Ever Even Thought of This? A DAILY WORKER Agent and all Buliders travel with such a full supply of tools that when they talk to a worker they are almost sure of a sub. Maybe not a DAILY WORKER sub always, but If you are an- xious to do some constructive Communist building just look over this list of tools that you can use. Granting that you can’t get a sub for the DAILY WORKER (and that is your very best tool) there is the WORKERS MONTHLY. But maybe you can’t get a sub to either—the wofker may not speak English well enough. That's nothing—you are only beginning. There are exactly twenty two different language papers, (daily, weekly, monthly) all fight- ing the same battle for the working class in many languages. A good Builder or agent has in all these a great means to build our movement. But again you may say, that general literature, newspapers and magazines do not interest every single worker. Many of them are only interested in their trade—especially in the shop and trade union. If that is your only argument, then— * @ Here Is the Misa! The Trade Union Educational League thru its different arms of the Left Wing movement. has just what is needed for that type—and for all workers. How can the workers—in fact how can you?—know all the interesting facts of the Left Wing activity in the trades without getting these facts from their official papers. Here they are. Clip them out and paste them in your note book to use whenever you meet a worker... and send in the sub directly in to the DAILY WORKER.

THREE GERMAN FASCISTS ENTERED SOVIET UNION TO PROVOKE BREAK MOSCOW, July 22.—An afticle in the Isvestia points out that the accused members of the organization consul, the three German fascists who entered Soviet Russia to promote anti-Soviet plots, only showed themselves as fascists in their closing speeches when they clearly recognized that further lying was hopeless. They then adopted provocation, the most common weapon of fascism. After the completed investigations of the court which exposed at least a part of the crime, it is clear that the alleged scientific expedition of Kindermann had as its purpose, not merely terrorist acts, not only espionage, but also the provocation of complications in the Russo- German relations. This purpose was revealed by the accused themselves when in their closing speeches they abandoned their previous tactics and openly made threats based on calumny. The definitely fascist closing speeches must convince everyone who has no interest in a calumnious muti- lation of the actual factd of the case, that the sentence of the supreme court was unavoitable. Kindermann and Wolscht them- selves saw to It in the closing session that the accusations raised against them were strengthened. Only ignor- ance of the real course of the process and ignorance of the revelations made by the consul members them- selves can make the campaign of lies of the Vorwarts still possible, for every unprejudiced person must long ago have ‘lost all doubt that any but experienced and determined terror- ists were sitting in the dock, who at first, as this seemed to them the only path of salvation, simulated stu- bidity. It is just the campaign of calumny } carried on by the bourgeois press which provides the most smashing proof for the strength of both forces whose agents were the participators in the alleged scientific expedition, and how real is the danger of provo- cation and how energetically this dan- ger must be fought. On Saturday, July 25, the first instalment of RUSSIA TODAY will be printed.

CALIFORNIA OIL GREASES CONTROL OF ALL SOCIETY Oil Magnates Richer Than Any Monarch By FRAPIESA. (Worker Correspondent) LOS ANGELES, July 22.— Today California is producing 630,000 bar: rels every 24 hours. The 1925 produc tion of the state will be approximate ly 230,000,000 barrels. Most of the ofl is from the Los Angeles basin and is shipped out of this city by rail and sea to every corner of the earth, Enorrtous Wealth. Output increases constantly. New wells are brot in every day and new districts every year. Estimated at $2 per 42-gallon barrel for crude oil, the annual product is worth half-bil- lion dollars. Converted into gasoline, the value goes to $1,200,000,000. Man ufactured into parafine, lubricating oil, ete., ete, the duplication of the worth goes still higher. More than 50 per cent of this wealth goes to 20 millionaires, more than 75 per cent to 50 millionaires, and more than 90 per cent to 100 persons. How the unidentified “pub- lic” manages to get the remaining 10 per cent is more mystifying by a great deal than how the magnates get the 90 per cent. California oil is a major contribu- tor to the estabijshment of aristo- cracy in America. ft shows democracy as a'fake in every way as a social, industrial and proletarian factor. All For Few. When Doheny declared that he con- sidered giving $100,000 to Fall as of no more importance than handing a tip to a bellboy, he summarized the situation. The extravagant perversion of the oil industry to serve the ca- prices of a few successful sure-thing gamblers casts into the shade the do- nation of old Russia to the Romanoffs and Germany to the Hohenzollerns. The czar, with his 90,000,000 acres of the best land of Russia, never had the income that the oil industry of California yields to the plutocracy. Never did he revel in such increases of wealth as the petroleum magnates know as theirs as a matter of privi- lege. Year by year fewer men control this fabulous resource. New comers are ruthlessly crowded out. The mon- opolists have no scrupples in dealing with competitors, proving that the more a hog gets the less he will let another get. Capitalists Produce Nothing. Nobody is as far away from petrole- um..as the oil magnate.. This rare bunco artist has nothing to do with production at all. He simply lets oth- ers do all the producing while he con- tends himself with, taking all the pro- fits. For magic his performance out- does Aladin. Of course, the source of the necro- mancy is not the cleverness or in- genuity of the oil magnate. It is the credulity of the people. That is truly amazing. It answers the question asked relative to the magnates: How do they get away with it? Subscribe for the DAIL Y WORKER. Of the Greatest Propaganda Value RUSSIA TODAY is not writ- ten by Communists.
