Martyrdom of Botwin Wins Respect of Masses for Polish Communists MOSCOW, Aug. 28—The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Poland has issued an appeal on the occasion of the execution of Botwin in which it declares that the Commun- ists have won the sympathy and the respect of the masses on account of the killing of the Polish spy and the heroic death of Botwin. The bour- geoisie declares that the Communists exercise the terror. The Communist Party rejects the methods of the in- dividual helpers of the bouregoisie but only the mass struggle of the work- ers and peasants can bring the free- m of the proletariat. The removal ‘of provocateurs however, is not in- dividual terror but self-defense of the working class against the traitors who deliver hundreds and thousands of revolutionaries to the bourgeoisie. Down with the provocateurs! Long Jive the the active fighters against the provocation! Long live Botwin, Knievsky, Rutkovsky and Gibner! LENIN MEMORTAL ALBUM With 33 photographs of the great leader.

FRENCH-ENGLISH DEBT PACT USED TO SWAY CAL Washington Charges Plot to Reduce Sum WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—The An- glo-French debt funding agreement was looked upon here among govern- ment officials as another stumbling block placed in the path to, adjust- ment of France's $4,000,000,000 debt to the United States, It was agreed that the tentative London settlement probably will com- plicate the Franco-American negotia- tions scheduled to take place in Wash- ington next month, It was emphasized anew that the United States has no official connection with the Anglo- French agréement and is not bound in any way to recognize it in arriving at a settlement with France. Officials privately expressed the view that the Anglo-French agreement could be regarded more or less as an effort on the part of France to scale down her debt to the United States rather than to pay the $3,750,000,000 which she owes England. The fact that the agreement provid- ed for little more than the payment of interest by France to England over a period of 62 years was enuf, it was stated, to eliminate it from considera- tion as a basis for a Franco-American debt settlement.

PEKING, Aug. 28—A report has appeared in today’: sue of the or gan of the Japanese legation here, the North China Standard, about the alleged arrest In Moscow of four members of the Chinese mission in the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- lics, The representative of the Rosta News Agency has been authorita- tively advised that the said report is a falsehood from seginning to end which jis more extraordinary that it is published in the semi-of- ficial organ of the Japanese lega- tion and with especial emphasis, the purose thereby pursued hardly being a worthy one. THE DAILY WORKER GROW SCARCER IN LAST MONTH Carbuilders and Steel Workers Hard Hit Industrial employment is on the downgrade in Illinois, Reports to the Illinois department of labor from em- ployers of 40 per cent of the factory workers show that for the fifth con- secutive month, the number unem- ployed has lcreased. The latest re- duction in th story payrolls has carried the level of employment in Such attempts at breeding un- friendly feelings against the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics by spreading avowedly false informa- tlon—the Rosta correspondent was told—will scarcely attain their ob- ject or make any the easier whose- soever position, CITY FATHERS IN L.A. JAIL FOR CROOKERY “Friends” of Labor Are Caught with the Goods L. P. RINDAL, (Worker Correspondent.) LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 28.—Ac- cording to statements made some time ago by “labor leaders” of this city, the present administration “is the best Los Angeles ever had.” It was elected by the method of punish- ing enemies and rewarding “friends.” Now two of those “friends” are held in the county jail without bail, ac- cused of bribery in connection with a pedestrian subway under the Second street tunnel. Councilmen Downs and Fitzpatrick will face the music be- fore the grand jury tomorrow. A trap was sprung on them at their offices in the city hall. One thous- and dollars in marked money was found on, each of the two councilmen, Each had asked for $65,000 for their vote from William Hodges, vice-pres- ident and general manager of the Tunnel Transportation company, Dist. Attorney Keyes supplied the money, or a part of it, and Mr. Hodgés him- self carried the two packages of bills “i the pa(y)trioti¢ city fathers. Downs and Fitz} ‘have léd the opposition to the subway tunned pro- Ject in the council recently because they were interested in the welfare of the dear people, While this was go- ing on, Jack L. Murphy (a confiden- tial aid) talked things over with said William Hodges of the Tunnel Transportation company. Murphy is also in jail. The last meeting Of the old city council ended in a first class fist fight over some graft, during which the renegade “socialist,” Ralph L, Criswell proved himself to be a bet- ter- prize-fighter than a law-maker. And now this “model” city council of the labor fakers seems to be the greatest fake of all, The A, F. L, policy of rewarding “friends” and punishing enemies has again turned out to be a complete failure. International Labor Defense to Hold a Picnic in St. Paul ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 28.—Sunday, Aug, 30th, a picnic will be held here under the auspices of the International Labor Defense, at 34th avenue south and West River road.

Let us see Illinois factories to the lowest point touched since early 1922, Employ- ment is slightly below the level of a year ago, but about 15.5 per cent be- low the peak of 1923, The manufact- uring establishments have about 115,000 fewer employees than they had two years ago. “The labor market of the month has been generally dull”, states the report, “The urban orders in the unskilled market were small. Thruout the month, building labor has been in active demand.” “The ratio of applicants to jobs in creased during the month, from 148 to 100 jobs to 153.per 100 jobs, Ths excess of job-seekers over work op- portunities is less than was the case a year ago. In July, 1924, there were 171 applicants per 100 places open. “In Rockford and Cicero, the reduc- tion in working forces during the month was more than 10 per cent. Other cities in which the employment decline was substantial were Joliet and Moline, where between 7 and 7.5 per cent of the workers were laid off.” “The trend was generally down- ward in the stone, clay and glass products group of industries. “The reports for the iron and steel firms were somewhat disappointing on account of the statements that have appeared in the trade journals of the improvement in the buying of steel. For the fourth consecutive month employment at the mills de- clined, the drop for the past thirty days being’ 3.2 per cent. There are now about 10 per cent fewer people ingaged in the production of iron and steel than was the case in March, the year.” “In practically all of the other in- ticularly severe in their layoffs, strik- ing the names of 10 per cent of their employees from the payrolls during July, after removing alike number in June.” ; 4, “In “thes. agriquitural implement in- dustry in which employment has been high thruout. the present there was a let-up in the extent of production during the month, when 6 per cent of the employees were laid off. The automobile manufacturers and the accessory firms likewise been reducing their, forces, the reports show.” : N. Y. Teachers May Get Pay Raise But the Top Boys Will Grab. Most NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—(FP)—The up-hill, down-dale fight of New York city teachers for pay increases has reached another up-grade with the an- nouncement by the board of education that $5,700,000 is included in the edu- cation budget for 1926 to permit wage raises for teachers. The board of esti- ‘mate has power to grant or disallow the item. If granted, the extra money will probably be spent in $125 raises for elementary teachers, $150 for high school teachers, $200-$250 for princi- pals and assistants, $2,000 for district superintendents, etc.; the higher the rank, the. greater the pay increase. The suggested increases are on a basis opposed by the Teachers Union. The union favors higher incréases for lower grade teachers, claiming that their wages have been least increased in proportion to living costs.

Halmin, former judge of district court, Virgin Islands, is officially represent- ing the people of these former Dan- ish islands purchased eight years ago by the United States and is planning to present. the islandrs’ case to President Coolidge at Swampscott, Mass. Malmin says that the Virgin Islands residents want a civil govern- ment instead of the U, S. navy rule they have had for eight years. The islanders demand the immediate exe- cutive removal of the George Wash- ington Williams, present judge of fe district court. One of the chief protests against Judge Williams is based on his arbi- trary action in the case of Rothschild Francis, editor of The Emancipator, a native paper. Williams refused the editor a jury trial and sentenced Francis for contempt when the latter attacked Williams editorially for his policies and his denial of jury trial, Williams delegates his authority to his clerk whenever he does not care to hold court himself, Malmin charges, saying that the clerk “knows more law than my grip.” “I also understand that he (Williams) has founded a quasi-corporation for commercial ex- ploitation, using the judicial office of the judge and the power of the super- intendent of the police for this ex- Ploitation,” Malmin states. Every president since the United States took the islands passed authori- ty to the navy department, which was delighted and wished to “hang on to the islands as long as it can” be- cause service there is paid double as foreign service. The islanders want annexation to Porto Rico, only 15 miles away, if civil government is not directly granted, Malmin declares, A navy appointee is governor under the present temporary rule, which has lasted eight years.

Labor Federation | 'B, & 0, BILL’ BEING LICKED IN NORTHWEST Seattle and Frisco De- mand Recall (Special to The Daily Worker) SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 28,—Hope Lodge No. 79, Seattle, unanimously endorsed the recall in progress in the International Association of Machin- ists, following charges from all parts of the country that Wm. H. Johnstone and his associates won offices in the last union elections by fraud. In or- der, to be effective, fifteen per cent of the lodges in the association, or about 150, must indorse the proposition. George Mitchell, prominent member of Hope Lodge said that the recall can count on the support of a total of 258 indorsements. Reports from San Francisco say tht Lodge No. 68, with 1,500 members, the largest in the association, has gone on record for the recall. In Oakland, Lodge 248, the recall lost by only two votes. Discover New Way to Measure Crops from Train with Crop-Meter WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 28, — A device for mesuring the acreage of various agricultural crops for com- parative reports and charts has been adapted to a railway train by statis- ticians of the United States depart- ment of agriculture. The instrument is in the nature of an automobile speedometer and when attached to the gear of the railwy car measures and records the number of feet of each kind of crop along the right of way. It was designed in 1923 for use on an automobile and was first used successfully in that capacity. The instrument, besides having a regular mileage meter, such as that on an ordinary speedometer, has 12 special dials, one for each kind of crop, with a set of push buttons which throws them into gear when needed. For instance, when, during the train journey, a field of cotton is being passed the button indicating cotton is pressed and the number of feet of cotton along the road in that par- ticular field is measured and record- ed. If the next field is corn, the operator presses the corn button, and the number of feet in that crop are measured and recorded. If the next field should happen to be idle land, the idle-land button is pushed. INC, 5 BETTER ff DRUGS ry Light Luncheon Served 1154 Madison Street, Corner Ann George E.
