The brutal acts of repres- sion performed by the American bour: | geoisie in this strike—the Haymarket | police raid in Chicago, the bomb ex- sons and his comrades, the closing of union, halls and the breaking up of strike - meetings—have graven the First of May into the minds of class conscious workers in every country on earth, and have given it a new meaning. May Day no longer means merely the struggle for an eight-hour day under capitalism. It is the ex- pression of the mighty movement of the workers of all countries which will do away with capitalism, wipe it from the face of the earth by the (Continued on page 3) Favor of Annexationi}ucss VIENNA, April 15.— etna the? rights ser- ously Prcamones .)

SMALL PUSHES COSSACK BILL TO 3RD READING Will Provide 750 Armed Strike-Breakers SPRINGFIELD, IIL, April 15.—Gov- ernor Len Small’s state police bill, in- troduced into the legislature by State Senator Barr, was advanced to the third reading and seems sure of pas- sage by a large margin on Thursday. The. Barr bill was amended to pro- vide a force of 750. state “highway” police, who will have full power to act as sheriffs, to make arrests, and to act in aid of the employers to break strikes. Small’s bill was made the order of special business today, and with the governior’s support will pass. The state police will be operated by the state department of public works, according to the bill, and as the de- partment is ruled by a governor ap- pointee, will be under the direction of Small himself.

The cablegram GOOD REASON FOR CHINESE HATRED: OF FOREIGNERS 22,000 Children Under 10 Doomed to Mills (Special to The Daily Worker.) SHANGHAI, China, April 15.— Quite to the expectation of the Com- munists among the Chinese workers the textile mills of Shanghai, but coming asa surprise to the liberals who, in the so-called “anti-child labor committee,” proposed that the annual meeting of foreign taxpayers approve of a law forbidding children less than 10 years old to work in the mills— the said foreign taxpayers simply boy- cotted the meeting and thus defeated the law. This is possible because, under the beautiful arrangement of the interna- tional capitalists’ rule over Shanghai and its hundreds of thousands of Chi- nance is effective in the international settlement without the foreign taxpay- ers’. meetings, held annually, vote ap- proval. So the law—even though it limited the age of child workers to no higher than 10 years, and permitted chil- dren over 10 years to work along with other workers and fixed the mill work- ers by law to a 12-hour day and a seven+lay week with only one day off in two weeks, failed. The municipal council invited the foreign taxpayers to the regular an- nual meeting of taxpayers so that the Pmeasure the council was willing to pass might be considered. The lib- erals awaited the meeting of taxpay- ers with fond hopes. When it was ap- parent that the foreign taxpayers were boycotting’ the meeting, the attend- ance falling 300 below the necessary number to make a quorum, the hope- ful committ@e became indignant, but remained helpless. The 22,000 Chinese children under 10 years of age now working as long as 14 and 16 hours a day in the Shang- hai textile mills will keep right on doing so if they can stand it and live. This is the verdict of the foreign tax- payers. Bishop Raps Anti-Evolutionists. Rev. Thomas F.

New Medical Achievement. Medical science made fresh strides today when for the first time the neg- ative of an X-ray photograph taken in New York city was received here over telegraph wires. It demonstrated, X-ray experts said, the possibility of an X-ray diagnosis:of an injury or ailment by a specialist distantly re- moved from the patient. The picture requited seven minutes in transmission. Specialists said it was received so clearly and distinctly that it could readit# be used by any ao or doctor fir diagnostic pur- poses. ae _ - or punctuation mark of the bible shall 'be misplaced,” said Gailor. “I think it is a sign of decadence when the church runs contrary to the most en- lightened scholarship of the age.” Greet Wall Street’s Cuban Chief WASHINGTON,.

Inverness Workers’ Aid, Mau- BILLION LAST YEAR, 1S REPORT nese wage workers, no municipal ordi-} Aveciiea lincheigh $671 per Family (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, April 15.—Ameri- can farmers actually ran behind, in the year 1924, at leaat $5,144,000,000, despite all the hue and cry about their restored prosperity, says Benjamin C. Marsh, managing director of the Farmers National Council, analyzing reports from the federal department of agriculture. Marsh shows that the combined value of crops and live stock was $12,404,000,000 in 1924, while the ap- proximate cost of producing them, ex- clusive of labor of farmers and their families, was $8,248,000,000. This left an average of $671.93 per farm family. Federal taxes, payments on interest and principal of $13,000,000,000 of mortgages and short term debt, pay- ment of insurance, purchase of clothes and food not produced on the farm, upkeep of farms and buildings, sup- port of churches, etc., and savings for old age had to be covered by this pitiful sum. Figuring the minimum average return for the labor of éach farm family at $1,500 for the year, the total due for this farm ltabor was $9,300,000,000. Taking from it the $4,156,000,000 actually received, we have an unpaid difference of $5,144,- 000,000. Marsh argues that if the adminis- tration now permits the modification of the packers’ consent decree, which now restrains the operations of the food trust, a deadly blow will be dealt the farmers’ co-operative marketing PAINLEVE MADE FRENCH PREMIER: CRISIS STILL ON Predict New Cabinet Will Soon Fall (Special to The Daily Worker.) PARIS, France, April 15.—President of the Chamber of Deputies Paul Pain- leve this afternoon accepted the ap- pointment as premier, and immediate. . ly commenced an attempt to call a cabinet. The appointment of Painleve mere- ly prolongs the crisis in French fin- ance and politics, as Painleve belongs to the same coalition which made Herriot premier, and a Painleve cabi- net will met the same opposition in the senate that caused Herriot’s down- fall. Caillaux After Job. Reports that Painleve had tele graphed Joseph Caillaux to come to Paris and would offer-him the minis- try of finance were confirmed when it was learned that Caillaux left Ma- mers at moon. fteday for Paris. He announced he would accept as minis- ter of finance if offered the job. Predictions are made that any cabi- net formed by Painleve, who is a member of the radical socialist party. will not last a month. Painleve had previously declined the thrice repeat- ed offer of President Doumerge to form a cabinet, as he knew a stormy time awaited’ him. Socialists in Bourgeois Coalition. The socialists, who have been the- bulwark of the bourgeois rule of France by the French bankers and industrialists and whg have allowed foreign capitalists to gain greater con- trol over French finances, belong to the majority block of the chamber of deputies. The socialists hold 104 seats, the republican socialists 46, and the radical socialists, who are really the conservative socialists, 149 seats. All are upholders of bourgeois rule. Painleve did not accept the premier. ship until he had been assured by the peopiatists that they weuld support his bourgeois cabinet, and participate in his government. Under Premier Her- riot, the ists, altho they sup- ported the premier, did not accept places in his cabinet. The socialists made a deal with Painleve that they would take three positions in the cabinet in return for their support of the new ministry. Crisis Merely Prolonged. It is being rumored that Herriot will be offered the portfolio of for- eign affairs in the new cabinet. The senate has already made it known that it will not support a left bloc government, and thus the present crisis is being prolonged. Further lilegal Inflation. The senate is to meet this after- noon to “legalize” an increase in the paper franc circulation by four bil- lion ($200,000,000). This will cover the present illegal inflation which was recently exposed. The officials of the Bank of France refused to issue an- other weekly statement, which it is ad mitted will show still further illega! circulation, and threatened to close the bank, unless the illegal issue was “legalized.” America Owns Ruhr. M. Colrat, who was a minister in Poincare’s cabinet, said in a state- ment on the control] of France by in ternational bankers by «means of the Dawes plan: “The Ruhr now belongs to ‘Americans and Englishmen. It would be folly to install a govern ment in France which might cause prejudice to Anglo-Saxon §invest- ments.” *. * > Chamber for Inflation.
