Mrs. Smith gave birth to a baby August 22nd. The attending phy- sician told her it was a boy, but sev- eral days later hospital attendants brought her a girl. They now say the mother was misinformed and that her child was really a girl. The parents, however, are uncon- vinced and have brought suit demand- ing that the hospital produce “George Smith” which was the name they originally decided to give their “boy.” Building Trade Workers Get Increase Despite Contraetors’ Struggles (By Federated Press.) Despite contractors’. propaganda against higher wages for building trades. workers, 9 trades have -re- ceived substantial increases in the past month.

Down South the Nashville, Tenn. electricians boosted wages ftom 75 cents to $1, . Seattle bricklayers foreed a $12 scale, and St. Peters- burg, Fla, plumbers, an increase from $1.00 to $1.25. Farmer-LaboritesW on’t Be Swindled by Shrewd Receiver for MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 22.—A movement among stockholders of the efunct Minnesota Daily Star to re- sist the 25 per cent assessment levied on them by the receiver is under way in Minnapolis and St. Paul. “Many stockholders,” says the Minnesota Union Advocate, “feel that they have little to lose and absolutely refuse to pay a penny into what they consider a huge swindle.” Several years ago when the double liability of stock- holders was considered by creditors of the defunct Farmer-Labor daily as means of raising money the Minne- apolis Central Labor Union took steps to defend the stockholders. There are almost 7000 stockholders, mostly farmers and trade unionists. * * ° a ST.

(@hoto Graphic.) Richard E. Hudson and his mechanic, Jay Radike, flying a biplane in the Class A division of the New York-to-Spokane air race, were killed when the plane crashed to the ground on a | wooded mountainside near Long Valley, N. J., yesterday soon after they left Roosevelt Field. Farmers reported hearing the plane, flying low, and then, after the engine stopped suddenly, they heard the plane crash into the side of the hill. The farmers who found the plane are shown above examining wreckage. By J. HORN | (Worker Corespondent) This morning I went up to Pier 61) of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. with | the hope of shipping on the S.S. Man-| churia. She had only a skeleton crew} “standing by,’’ which meant that there were plenty of jobs unfilled. On me I carried a discharge book and other, certificates required by the ship-own-} ers, and having nine years experience at sea, I was justiéed in my hopes of competing sucessfully with my fellow slaves. Slaves In Fierce Competition A little group was already outside the door when I arrived at 8 oclock. Some had been there as early as 6 A. M. Gradually the handful of men grew to a crowd, sharpening the com- petition to the keenest I have ever been thru in all my nine years on the water-front. The door opened at nine o’clock and in less time than it takes to tell, the large room was filled and far too small to hold us all. It looked for all the world like a cattle-pen, for we were roped in by a bannister, keeping us away from an open square in front of the office, which square I could rightly call the slave-market. Look “Human Cattle” Over The gamblers’ hearts on Wall Street never beat so anxiously as did the hearts of these slaves behind the rail- ing. We were waiting patiently when suddenly there was a commotion. I turned to see the cause. From one side entrance uniformed men were fil- ing in, the mate, the boatswain, first assistant engineer, and chief steward. There was a strain on the bannister ‘as the slaves pushed forward. Then there was silence. The officers stood in front of the | bannister and looked us over. I could see their smiling faces change to their professional hardness. They could very well afford to be themselves this morning as the pen was filled to ca- pacity. What Price Muscles { As we stood there in suspense it seemed to me that we were growing smaller and smaller and that the offi- cers grew bigger and bigger, until they loomed menacingly above us. ‘Their steel-cold eyes were piercing thru our garments; they were looking for muscle. I looked around at my ‘fellow slaves. They stood tense, with blank faces, eyes staring in one direc- CONDITIONS OF UNORGANIZED SEAMEN FRIGHTFUL AS’ CREWS ARE CUT AND COLLEGE BOYS GET SHIP JOBS tion, and opened wide,“soft and docile as cows in a market-place. They represented every race and nation on the face of the earth. Suddenly the mate’s lips curled’ in a little sneer and the silence of the men was broken by his thunderous voice: “All you men that come around on the Manchuria, come in here.” There ’was a scramble for the narrow opening in the rail, and our hopes dimmed as we watched the men file in in front of the railing. They will eat now and sleep in bunks. Need 6; 30 Want Job There was a role-call. Yes, six men were needed. So the mate told the boatswain to pick them. Then the fun began. The boatswain called: “All you A.B.’s, come in here.” We formed a line as he paraded in front of us, looking us over. We numbered thirty. He needed six. As he picked his men he sent them to the doctor. The ordinary seamen, who require no previous experience, were picked in this manner. Their names were called out. They were all young well- dressed college boys going to sea in quest of adventure. They were intro- duced to the mate who shook hands with each and everyone of them. This method of shipping ordinary seamen is an old story. But the laying off of the crew, with the exception of a few is a method of economy adopted by the ship-owners. This means that the little money the seamen earn while at sea is used up in keeping them alive in port. Winter Hardships Frightful Conditions will be even worse with the coming winter.

Con- ditions today are deplorable. The sea- men are unorganized, open to every attack of the combined ship-owners. But even today in our almost unbear- able conditions, seamen riding sub- ways all night, and crawling into empty wagons on South Street, walk- ing the streets or “carrying the ban- ner” as we call it in our patois, for not having the price of a bed in the Seamen’s Church Institute, the un- fortunate seamen beat their breasts in self-condemnation, and blame them- selves for their plight, saying: “Why didn’t I save my money?” Or why didn’t I behave on the last ship?” They are sunk this deep in bourgeois ideology. have tried to save my money for nine years. But how can we save if we have nothing to save? It is a human impossibility. As to good be- havior, in this sense of the word, it means to submit meekly to all the conditions that the ship-owners feel like imposing on us. These conditions are the seamen’s fault for they are unorganized, and we will get far ‘worse conditions than we now have if we do not face the facts. The International Seamen’s Club at 26 South Street is helping to solve the problefa which today confronts the 95 per cent unorganized seamen. | Join the International Seamen’s Union. | McADO0 “QUITS” By WM. PICKENS. That’s very interesting: to have a fellow “declining” something which nobody is going to offer him. So Mc- Adoo decides not’ to be nominated on the democratic ticket for president of the United States—and nobody has even yet decided that he ever could| be nominated. y And yet he decides to “quit.” That | is like the man who shouts back: “I resign!” after he has been emphatical- ly told: “You're fired!” Perhaps | later we may hear that Cole L. Blease, of South Carolina, has decided not to |‘ be president of France. But McAdoo “withdraws.” Well, everything means something else; | nothing is absolutely meaningless— not even in the words and deeds of an ordinary politician. And so, there is some meaning in this action and these queer words of McAdoo. It means that the McAdoo crowd have decided on that course as about the only way in which they could hurt the chances of Governor Alfred Smith of New York. They mean to hint: “Now, since McAdoo has declined something which he cannot get—it’s up to you, Governor Smith, to decline something which you have at least some chance to get.” McAdoo withdraws for “party harmony.” That is supposed to hint that if Smith stays in the race, New--- | GERMAN BOOKS POON Paper Bound | Probleme der Chinesisehen Revolution } Bucharin —a5 | Entwieklungswexe der Chine- | sischen Revolution | | | Tan Ping Schan As Die Kriegsgefahr die Chinesische | Revolution und die Kommunist | Internationale | A.
