Three workers were so fati- gued they fell down and they were brought to the hospital. One of them in particular, a doubler on No. 2 had been unconscious for several hours before anybody noticed him. His fellow worker discovered him in a prone position when he wanted to ask for some help, because he him~- self was falling down too. This “all in” or “cramps” as they call it often injures the workers for life. These workers who are so injured lose their jobs or are placed on the scrap pile.

COMRADE BRILL DIES IN BUFFALO Active to Last — Mass Funeral Planned BUFFALO, N. Y., May 25.—Com- rade Franklin B. Brill, prominent Communist leader and secretary of the District Control Commission of the Communist Party, died here yes- terday morning. Comrade Brill was vigorously ac- tive to the last moment in the strug- gles of the wkorking class against Starvation, wage cuts, boss terror, and enerfetically combatting the socialist party and A. F. of L. misleaders. He was especially active in the work against imperialist war and for the defense of the first workers republic, the Soviet Union. A mass funeral is being arranged under the apspices of the Communist Party.

About 200 are employed or probably 225. The quarry men work 10 hours, shopmen and a few others also 10 hours, while the mill itself works only two shifts—12 hot, dusty hours. A wage-cut was put into effect when the mill started up this year, Labor (unskilled) is being paid 35 cents an hour, while skilled labor gets from 40 to 60 cents per hour; very few get more than 60 cents an hour, At- tempts are being made to keep the workers divided by having the Mex- icans eat by themselves and the aa pad betrayers of the working class, and Rabbi Stephen Wise, the great cru- sader who so ably supported the last world war which the imperialists said was “a war to end war.” The former Reverend Mr. A. J. Muste, head of Brookwood Labor College, whom Wm, Z. Foster recent- ly again exposed as a social-fascist of the most dangerous kind, this strikebreaker was the chairman. The Women’s Peace Society organized the show. Before the last bosses’ war, these same hypocrites staged the same kind of performances and at the first call to arms by the Wall St. government, they jumped on the band wagon and used their elo- quence to support the jingoes, war profiteers and butchers of the work- ing class. The social-fascist S.P. and Yipsels who sold out the work- ing class in the last world war have started early to rehearse their part in the coming imperialist slaughter. This should serve as a warning to all class conscious workers to expose these traitors and line up for defense of the Soviet Union against whom up wate DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, U.S. Demand for Right To Dump Ends Intern. Wheat Conference MAY 26, 1931 >. a Pa ge Th ree LONDON, England, May 24.—The international wheat conference has broken up, with nothing accom- plished but the establishment of a committee to gather statistics. The countries concerned recognize that the collapse of the negotiations is di- ctly the fault of the stand taken by the United States, which, in spite of statements to the contrary by Mc- Kelvie, the American delegates, is determined to continue dumping of wheat, McKelvie unblushingly de- clared after adjournment that “The United States did not want any con- ference in the first place, but, since there ws one, is glad that the con- ference did not undertake to do more than it did. He repeated that U. S. “would never agree to an export quo- ta system,” Then he made an at- tack on the Soviet Union! American capitalist papers expose by their use of misleading headlines their bitter hatred of the workers’ and farmers’ government of the So- viet Union, which in a form] stte- ment of classics clarity and frank- ness at the London wheat confer- ence has punctured a whole series of diplomatic baloons flown by cap- italist governments at ‘the interna- tional wheat conference now going n. The typical capitalist press line is: “Soviet demands right to dump at will” (New York Times and other papers). What actually happened is that the continental countries of Europe, through their mouthpiece, Poland proposed a great corsortium, with quotas allotted to each wheat export- ing country. Hypocritical Proposal This the U. S. delegate, S. R. Mc- Kelvie, countered with a proposal for limiting the supply produced in each country. It is obvious that the U. 8. proposition is a fake, put forward for diplomatic reasons, and with the hope of either limiting the Soviet Union’s growing wheat industry, a vital part of the Five-Year Plan, or, in the more probable event that the Soviet Union would refuse to reduce the quantity of food products, to be able to lay the blame for the col- Japse ef the wheat conference on “The Reds.” The purely offensive nature of the U. S. proposal is evident from the least consideration. It is absolutely impossible for the U. S. to limit acreage. It would require laws for that purpose in each of the 48 states, and an army of deputy sheriffs larger than the U. S. army in the world war to enforce these laws. Or it would Tequire a constitutional amentment, and an rmy of deputy U.

Their “crime” was to lead an organized revolt of 350 girls against the hor- rible conditions existing in a “house of correction” near Charlotte,, where they were confined. The only real expression the revolt took was the| burning to ashes of two out of the seven wooden buildings. At the trial the state first de- manded the death penalty for the girls, even though two of them were only 13 years of age and only one over 17. The death penalty was de- manded on the grounds that com- Carolina was a capital offense. The girls all had pleaded guilty because of the fear under which they con- Stantly lived at the state institution. Later four of them changed their pleas to not guilty, but the judge re- fused to accept the change. Instead the charges were changed to attempt to commit arson because of the lack of evidence against the girls, merely accepting the teacher's word The girls all testified about the terrible cond in Samarcand, the house of “correction.” Shaved heads of the girls, forced labor diet and whippings of with a ry cane were usu and almost part of the curriculum.
