WAUKEGAN, Ill, Jan, 4.—Several pickets of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers were arrested by Waukegan police in front of the Granert & Roth- child men’s clothing factory. The ar- rests do not mean, however, that t police have reversed their attitude toward the strikers, which was ta vorable in the earlier strike that was carried to victory in September, it is seid. The present strike was called Dec, 8 to compel the firm to live up to its agreement made after the Septem- ber walkout. Of the 87 employes 67 were out. Shortchanged Payroll. The principal grievances of the umionists are shortchanging on the payroll and tho use by the boss of an anti-union “plant” who refused to pay union dues in order to provoke a showdown with the union.

The union building trades workers of Waukegan, who average $12 a day, became active in support of the strike when they found that one experienced worker in the clothing factory had received a check of only 66 cents to over a half day's work. Another ex- perienced clothing worker got $1.69 for two days at Granert & Roths- child’s. The state’s attorney has re ceived a number of complaints of back wages due from the firm, The new demands of the union, which are receiving general labor sup- port in Waukegan, are the closed union shop, 44-hour week, time and a ~ half for overtime, impartial chairman to decide disputes and a general wage ~ imertase. .By LELAND OLDS, Federated Press. That 1927 and 1928 will see a drop in labor’s purchasing power appears in the report of a committee of credit- finance leaders, stock exchange firms and banking houses. The report is based on a sweeping survey of credit conditions in 34 industries, with spe- cial reference to deferred payment plans, It admits dangerous credit conditions. Partial payment plans were devel- oped, according to the report, pri- marily to provide a market for the overexpanded plant capacity with which manufacturers emerged from the war. Foreign markets could not absorb the surplus. Rather than scrap the exeess capacity they developed an artificial stimulant for the domes- tic market. As with any dope, however, increas- ing doses of the partial payment stim- ulus proved necessary. Bankers and brokers now realize that it can’t go yon forever. So they are trying to “forestall a critical collapse. In automobile financing, says the committee, “competition has torn most, if not all> the~bars of safety and discretion. “The economic conditions on the immediate horizon tend toward a de- fiation of business. Since 1920 the building industry has increased its volume year by year, until now it gives omployment to close to 2,000,000 Persons, directly and indirectly, be- sides being linked with steel, paint, lomber, cement and many other trades which givo employment to mil- lions of others.

Ed Nockels, Chicago Federa- tion of Labor in winding up discus- sion at the regular meeting occas- loned by the sale to two churches of time on WCFL, the federa- tion broadcast station (491.4 met- ers.) Complaints that the preachers were uc'ng their purchased time to knock such labor aspirations as the 40-hour week were made by delegates who had tuned In and demands that the contracts with the churches be canceled were heard. The cancellation could be made on 30-day notice. THE THREAT OF 1927 assume that 1927 and 1928 will see a considerable decrease in the volume of building, with a corresponding diminution of employment in the building and allied industries. This decrease must inevitably throw a large amount of labor into the market, A large amount of available labor means a lowering of the wage scale, ! which, as a natural consequence, pred- icates a lower purchasing power.” The sure approach of the saturation point in the motor industry coming with the decrease in building wil) accentuate the decline in labor's pur- chasing power, This studied report of financial leaders, for business consumption ouly, shows more nearly the true New Year outlook for labor than do all thé forecasts turned out for newspaper front page copy. A large amount of available labor means a lowering of the wago scale. That seateace sounds ominous. What will be labor's an- swer? GET A 8UB.

Cochran asserted he had figures from the police department showing that 19,209 persons were arrested in the capital during 1926 for violation of the dry laws. instead of the 5,805 announced by the police. Here in the national capital, where 50 per cent of the populace is identi- fied one way or another with the fed- eral government, prohibition agents had a busy year, according to figures announced today, The capital’s prohibition enforce- ment record for 1926 showed: 5,305 arrests for violation of the dry laws. 32,000 gallons of liquors seized. 103 stills captured and confiscated. 566 automobiles seized.

M, Landis, baseball “czar,” was sup- Plied with information back in 1922 that two baseball club owners to- gether with a number of players were involved in the “throwing of games” but Landis refused to investigate the matter, according to a telegram re- ceived today by Frank G. Menke, sporting writer, from Ray J. Cannon, Milwaukee attorney: Cannon acted for Oscar “Happy” Felsch, former Chi- cago White Sox star, when the latter sued Charles BH. Comiskey, president of the Chicago club, for back salary following his dismissal from baseball. “What's all the shooting about?” wired Cannon from Los Angeles refer- ring to the present) baseball scandal. “In 1922 Felsch served Comiskey with an affidavit giving all the faets about the thrown games of 1917 and 1919. We offered proof of our charges to Landis but he refused to investigate. Two club owners were concerned in the throwing of the games.” WHY WAIT TEN YEARS TO GET GOLD WATCH? DETROIT.—When 117 employes at the Packard auto plant were given gold watches by the company for completing 10 years of faithful service, the Detroit Labor News re- marked: “If the workers of the automobile factories in the city of Detroit could get their eyes off of gold watches long enough to see the value of an organization of thelr own creation they mught be able to Improve their working etandards so that It would ry 10 years in order to get a gold watch.” Poe fas vb ) BS Yin aA Rabe Fight the Exploiters at MILITARY DRILL| Home By Aiding Fight of Nicaraguan People By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL, RESIDENT Coolidge claims the United States is maintaining a huge fleet of warships in Nicara- guan waters to “protect American lives and property.” Secretary of State Kellogg supports this claim and gives all possible aid, thru his department, in support of the actual intervention by Rear Admiral Lati- mer, who has been busy establish- ing “neutral zones” thruout that harrassed Central American repub- lic, ‘ It is perfectly clear, however, that whatever U. S. property exists in Nicaragua is there for the purpose of exploiting the native population and resources. The “American lives” endangered are those of the agents of the exploiters who them- selves remain at a safe distance here at home in “the states.” see The Washington government, being the instrument of the profit takers, is organized and maintain- ed to protect the interests of the exploiters, But that is exactly the reason why all American labor should develop its fight against the exploiters at home by opposing the attack of this same class of pillag- ers of the Nicaraguan people. Workers and farmers join in combat against the mine owners, railroad barons, bankers at home, They can develop this struggle by joining forces with those combat- ting these same interests abroad. o + + It is shown that fruit companies, railway and banking interests con- stitute the principal connections be- tween the United States robber in- terests and the Nicaraguan people. It is the same connection that pro- duced the historic strike of textile workers at Passaic, New Jersey, when the police, with poison gas and armored tanks were ordered out, instead of warships and the marines, to do the fighting for the master class. eS Robert W. Dunn, in his book “American Foreign Investments,” details American imperialist “inter- ests” in Nicaragua, Me shows that the United Fruit Co, has 171,000 acres of unimproved land with an approximate invest- ment of $170,000 according to its own report. The Atlantic Fruit Co, has 132,000 acres under cultivation, while the Cuyamel Fruit Co. imports bananas which are grown by the New Or- leans and Bluefields Fruit & Trans- portation Co.

The La Luz and Los Angeles Mining Co., owned by Mellon’s friends in Pittsburgh, has been producing since 1901, The Gold Mines Co. has carried on some exploration work. Contracts for the exploration of petroleum lands. were signed in 19283 between an American company and a subservient Nicara- guan government, the territory cov- ered being about 200,000 hectares. The Tonopah Mining’ Co., ‘a large American concern owing a majority of the $1,000,000 stock of the Eden Mining ©o., has also carried on construction work in the gold fields. It owns a controlling interest in the Tonopah Nicaragua Co., operating the Santa Rita mines, tae Ss The Pacific Railway or National Railway of Nicaragua, in which American bankers formerly shared control, is again nominally in the hands of the government, but under the management of J, G.

It would be interest ing for American workers, victims in this country of mining companies operating in Central America, to tell of conditions under which they are forced to toil in the United States. The metal mining industry at home is nearly 100 per cent un- organized. No more vicious attack against labor has been made in this country than that launched by metal mine owners against the metal mine workers, It is the same breed that invades Nicaragua and calls on the United States govern- ment “to protect its property.” se * American labor can develop its fights against the exploiters at home by declaring their solidarity with the oppressed people of Nicaragua and the other Central and South American countries, see Nicaragua, tho a small country, is a typical victim of American in- vestments abroad that totalled near- ly two billions of dollars $1,906,705,- 101) during the year just closed. These are the figures compiled for 1926 by Dr. Max Winkler, vice pres- ident of Moody's Investors’ Service, who declares that “the export of American capital during the coming year (1927) is not likely to be in- terrupted.” Dr, Winkler continues: “It would seem that the American dollar is becoming the mainstay of world finance, public and private. Our total investments abroad ag- gregate at the end of 1926 the im- pressive total of more than $13,000,- 000,000, clearly reflecting the steady expansion of Amgrican finance and industry into every section of the civilized world.” It was on July 1, 1925, that the New ¥ork Times carried the head- line, “See Loans Abroad 12 Billions by 1926.” But the actual figures have surpassed that mark by one billion dollars, The significant fact revealed by the figures is that the greater part of these foreign investments have gone into Latin-Anierica, that is now flaring into open rebellion against the tyranny imposed by the United States in protection of these investments. Foreign investments at the end of 1926 were distributed as follows: 1926 1928 1918 Canada— $3,515,000,000 $3,027,000,000 $750,000,000 Europe— 3,837,600,000 $,025,000,000 $50,000,000 Latin America— Se 4,306,000,000 1,300,000,000 jai In 13 years American investments in Latin-America have nearly quad- rupled while during the past year they have increased by more than half a billion dollars. That is why American warships patrol Nicara- guan waters today, They are im- mediately rushed everywhere that the American dollar is threatened. Workers and farmers are blind to their own interests if they join in the profit struggle to protect “the lives and property” of American dollars invested abroad.

The socialists were crazy enough to think that if they did a hip-wiggling stunt in front of the Tammany Hall labor fakers, the latter might produce the salt shakers. What happened, however, was quite different. It is a dirty trick even to pull off on a yel- low socialist. The Tammany Hall la- bor fakers took in the show but when the bill was presented they were con- veniently in the washroom. And they laughed like the devil at Charlie Er- vin making a beaten, path to the head- quarters of the New York Central Trades Council looking tor alms and not getting them.
