Page Five SINGLE COMBINE CONTROLS WORLD MATCHES OUTPUT Lends Nations Millions to Increase Sales WASHINGTON, July 6 (UP).— The penny match business is able tc loan and donate millions of dol- lars to foreign governments to pro- mate sales, according to reports o.- tained today from the department cf commerce. Every third person in the world who lights a match, lights one man- ufactured by the greatest monoply in history—the International Match Company of New York, and the Swedish Match Company of Stock- holm. The story of the little safety match ig one of the most amazing in modern commerce. Its output is practically controlled by the two companies, which are interlocked by joint stock holdings. 50,000 Workers. This mammoth organization with 50,000 employes and 90 plants in 32 ountries of the world, capitalized or only $48,200,000, has been able to loan and pay outright millions of dollars to foreign governments in the last few years—in exchange for monopoly rights on the sale of niatches. There is not a nation in the world, according to commerce de- partment reports, that is not con- nected in some way or another with the Swedish company in the use of niatches, Even the United States, at one time regarded as the greatest manu- facturer of matches, has fallen un- der the influence of the Swedish company. Safety box matches, which previously bore the marking “made in the U. S. A.,” now are stamped “made in Sweden.” Commerce department reports give a few of the foreign loans made by the Swedish company in ex- change for monopoly rights as fol- lows: Enormous Loans. $75,000,000, in 1927, to France for a 20-year monopoly on sale of raw materials and match machinery. This loan, the reports show, was used by France to apply on its debt to the United States. $5,009,000 to Greece for a 28-year monopoly. $1,500,000 to Ecuador, January, | 1928, for a 25-year monopoly. $1,000,000 a year for 20 years to Peru. $6,(00,000 to Latvia, July, 1928, fcr a 30-year monopoly. $2,000,000 to Esthonia, 1927. The Swedish company offered a fe weeks ago to loan Hungary $85,000,000 for a 30-year monopoly, the reports show, and has asked for en agreement to be signed by July ib. Negotiations are reported to be going on between the Swedish com- pany and Turkey for a substantial loan and the match company recent- ly advised its stockholders that it wos about to take over Italian pro- duction. Monopolize South America, The Swedish company now holds a monopoly on the sale of matches in Bolivia, which expires in 1929. It is reported to the commerce de- partment that a loan, running into tho millions of dollars, has been offered for a renewal of the mono- poly. Twenty companies in Argentina now are controlled by the Swedish Match Company, the reports show, and the Compania Chilena De Fos- foros, the largest match factory in Chile, rece.itly disposed yf 36 per cent of its stock to the Swedish com- pany and gave it an option on 50 per cent of the stock. An agreement has been reached with Germany to limit German match production to 35 per cent and permit the Swedish company to monopolize 65 per cent of all match sales. - In 1927, the Swedish company gained control of the Eddy Match Company of Canada, which domi- nates the Canadian market. It al- ready has control of British mar- kets. The Manila Match Company, the cnly one of its kind in the Philip- pine Islands, is owned by the Swe- dish company. In a recent annul report, the Swedish company said: “The Swedish Match Company now produces one match a day for every person in the world. If the eight-months production of match Soxes were laid end to end they would reach from the earth ‘to the ‘noon. Forces Out Japan. “Slowly but surely the Japanese match industry has been driven from one market after'another. The Jap- anose are Isoing all of the markets they gained during the war.” Since this report was issued, U, S. commercial attaches advised the partment that the Swedish company has acquired a majority of stock in the Japanese companies. T. O. Klath, U. S, commercial at- tache at Stockholm, recently advised the commerce department that “ab- solute control of this world-wide or- ganization is centered in Stockholm and almost entirely in one man— Ivar Krueger.” The reports show that in the past 28 years the Swedish company has aid an average dividend of 26 per cent on its common stock.

Here is what they say: “It is the belief of union workers that by the “state-wide establish- ment of the eight-hour da): the work done by the women will be more efficient because their health would be better and they would not lose so much time through illness. “Because of this increase in efft ciency, the employer would be gain- ing rather than losing and the women workers would not only be saving doctor bills but would alse be healthier and happier.” This is the propaganda stuff by which the Reading “socialist” are trying to organize the workers. Ap- }peal to the boss instead of the class struggle. It is no wonder that the Reading workers are becoming disillusioned and disgusted with the “socialists” and often one can hear them say that the “socialists are too damn slow and they don’t promise anything and don’t give anything.” The average worker doesn’t know the difference between the present “socialist” administration and a re- publican one. They ¢an’t be blamed since there is really very little dif- ference. The workers of Reading as well ar of other cities are beginning to un- derstand that the “socialist” party is nothing but a capitalist party and the only way the workers can gain anything at all is by kicking out of office the lackey of the bourgeoisie and through a final class struggle organize a government of their own —A WOMAN WORKER. 4 SINGOES SAIL FOR NICARAGUA The United States army trans- Nicaragua from the army base in Brooklyn, has among her fifty pas- sengers Col.

A Letter (From the All-China Labor Fed- eration) Dear C »mrades: Reaction sweeps over the Japanese islands and scas. Uersecution and suppression of revolutionary work- ers and peasants is going on per- sistently and systematically in yiur country The crushing of your class-conscious trade union and pro- letarian party organizations is the order of the day in the realms of the Mikado. The arch-reactionary Sei- yukai’s government in the most brutal fashion is throwing your militant and revolutionaries in the prisons for many years. The Fas- cistie General Tanaka government is trying to break the backbone of your movement; to disarm you from working-class policies and leader- ship: to switch your trade unions and proletarian parties into class collaboration and reformist swamps: to corrupt your movement—all for the benefit of the master class, the Urge Fight on Exploiters We have no doubt, dear comrades, that you will meet and oppose the offensive of the exploiters and op- pressors with determination and mass mobilization by closing your ranks and unifying your forces upon a militant program; a fighting pro- gram for your daily needs, for the defense and liberation of the ar- rested comrades, for the emancipa tion of your class from the yoke of capitalism and landlordism. To al} workers and peasants who are or- ganizing and fighting in this direc- tion, and to all imprisoned com- rades, the All-China Labor Federa- tion sends its heartiest greetings and best wishes. Kuomintang Betrayal We are writing to you these few words from our bitter experience. Thus a couple of years ago we have not closed up our ranks sufficiently upon a clear-cut revolutionary pro- gram and hava permitted to too- great on extent the right wing and class-collaborationist elements with- in the Kuomintang and other organ- izations, to exercise control and leadership of our revolution—the | As many as 500 rooters | | Northern Railway, in which many of the textile association executives are directors.

The mill |men have permanent committeemen |for joint buying of cheap southern coal and for handling more effec- tively their traffic needs with the railroads. North Carolina, with more than 6,000,000 spindles, had nearly al! working in May and actually more operating than Massachusetts, which has more than 9,000,000 spindles in place. The soutkern state had an average of nearly three times the spindle hours of the Bay state, which limits women’s work to 48 hours, vs. North Carolina’s 60, and bans their night work. Carolina’s wages are at least a third lower, also. New uses for cotton was the con- vention theme. Ernest Morse, of ithe Cotton Textile Institute, and William Carmen, Jr., of the federal “yoartment of commerce, gave the -ain addresses. C. G. Hill, retiring ! president, reiterated the old theme that the mill men are imbued with the brothe1.100d of man spirit in re- lations with their workers. This was the only reference to the folks who make goods and profits for their employers with 11 and 12- hour day and night shifts and wages averaging little more than $2 a day. to Japanese reat Chinese revolution. The lead- ers of the Kuomintang, as you are. well aware, have betrayed us, the Chinese workers and peasants, in the most vicious manner. They | even turned the Kuomintang from a rvolutionary organization into an instrument of extermination of the forces of the revolution. Indeed, the Kuomintang became the hench- man of the imperialist oppressors of cur country, and the executioner of tens of thousands of our comrades, not to speak of the endless and tire- less persecution and suppression of strikes and our trade union and pea- sant organizations. And although the treacherous Kuomanting—the Chiang Kai-sheks, Li Chi-suns, Feng Yu-hsians, etc., are beheading and heaping the bodies of our com- rades piles upon piles; although these running dogs of the Chinese feudalists, financiers and merchants were able to defeat Soviet Canton and are driving a merciless war agsinst the many local Soviets in South and Central China rural re- gions, yet the revolution is far from being crushad. On the contrary, the revolutionary forces are steadily gathering and growing, regardless of the oppression and executions. The general discontent and unrest is not only widening but also deer- ening. The chinese revolution has developed into a higher stage, namely, into the stage of the estab- lishment of Soviets. Therefore, our slogans are: Down with the Kuo- mintang government! Long live the Soviets! Fight Imperialism But we are confronted not only . Ses ene imperialist war. explosives.

Both Auerbach and Sagy were given suspended sen- tences. Besides arresting the two pickets the bosses have ‘placed a sign in the window stating that workers in their restaurants are not on strike that the conditions of the workers merely been declared because the union officials have brow-beaten the workers into the strike for the bene- fit of the former alone. These statements are denied by strikers. _ Women workers work ing not more than $25-$30 per week wages.
