\ ~TANOUT ATTACK ialists Withdraw Support of Cabinet (Special to The Daily Worker) PARIS, France, June 23.—Disord- ers and fist fighting broke out on the floor of the chamber of deputies this afternoon, following a speech by Premier Painieve wherein he de- clared. “French Communists are working in cooperation with Rus- sian Communists to ald the Moors in their war against Spain and France.” The was immediately sus- pended by President Herriot. The session was marked with disorder thruout. M. Franklin Boillon attacked the Communist leader Clamamus, who defended himself. Twenty deputies milled around this pair, engaged in the fighting. 7 = . FEZ, French Morocco, June 23.— The Moroceans fighting the French invaders, having recaptured the Bi- bane fortifications, after wiping out the entire French garrison of 1,000, and capturing the largest French out post, Ain Medouina, are concentrating troop against Tanout. If the Riffians capture Tanout, they will force the French to retreat across the Ouergha river, and will be within striking di» tance of Fez, the capital of French Morocco. The socialist party, in a caucus to- day, voted 111 to 12 to withdraw its formal promise to support the Pain- leve ministry. The socialist howeven, may continue to support Painleve as an independent party. Painleve, to prevent a crisis, must now look to the center parties, and a part of the right wing of the chamber for support if ‘he is to stave off a crisis. PARIS CHINESE STUDENTS FACE DEPORTATION PARIS, June 22~—Chinese Commun- ist students may face deportation as a result of the raid on the Chinese legation, the French foreign office in- dicated today. “The French government cannot tolerate such incidents as yester- day's,” the foreign office states. “Attho the Chinese legation has not complained and altho the French government will respect the princip- les of China’s territorial rights in its legation, the French government will make a complete investigation of the} Chinese France.” One Chinese was arrested when police interrupted the disturbance at the legation. A hundred of the stu- dents had raided the place, impris- oned the jnitor and forced the Chi- nese minister to sign documents af- firming sympathy for the strikers in China, favering Chinese freedom from foreign rule and objecting to the use of French armed forces in China. Communist activites in See Danger to Trade Monopoly. MOSCOW .—tThe “Torgovo-Promjsh- lannaia Gazeta” (Commercial and In- dustrial Journal”) has raised the ques- tion of drawing private capital to take part in the exportation work. The paper is combating the opinion of some state organs, which find that the admission of private capital to the exportation work is dangerous to the monopoly of foreign trade.

Be neighborly—give it to him! | OUT OF DANGER OF GOING TO HEAVEN | NEW YORK, June 23—All Amer- icans have been ordered to leave Canton, because of the strong anti- imperialist feeling, according to a dispatch received today by the board of foreign missions of the Presbyterian church.

MUSSOLINI GETS POWER TO FIRE NON-FASCISTS Fascist Secretary Is for Exiling Aventines ROME, June 23—Whatever shred of independence the fascisti felt like al- lowing the 1epresentatives of the Ital- ion factions opposed to fascism was torn away, when Mussolini, pushed thru two bills; one giving him power to discharge all state employes whose ideas ran counter to those of fascism and another giving the government the right to enact by decree, jurisdic- tional regulations affecting the courts of justice without the consent of par- liament. Even judges are not immune from discharge provided some fascist tu- chun ‘comes to the conclusion that his mind is not fit for the blackshirt straightjacket, or provided some fas- cist assassin needs a snap job. Kicked Over Murder. The laws were passed with the aid of a little more than half the votes in the chamber. The Aventine oppo- sition was absent and a few former fascists spoke in opposition. Musso- lini had sent out urgent calis to all his supporters demanding their pres- ence in the chamber to cast their votes for his decrees. Mussolini explained that the oppo- sition to the murder:of Matteoiti ren- dered the laws necessary. Several fascisti deputies resigned rather than approve the laws and one voted un- der protest. The law gagging the | newspapers remains as at present. The fascist newspaper Cremona Nuova, organ of Roberto Farinacci, secretary of the fascist party, de- mands the exile of the leaders of the Aventine opposition. They should be given the same treatment as was meted out to'Sig. Donati, the editor of the Catholic paper, Il Popolo. The fascists quit behaving like Fransisc- fan monks afid act like real tigers, Farinacci safd. They must put fear into the hearts of their enemies. Fascist Secretary Urges Exile of Opposition Leaders ROMB, Italy, June 23—The finan- cial difficulties and the wheat crops are the two most important internal problems and the foreign debts, and the “security” pact with Germany are the most important foreign matters to be considered, Premier Mussolini de- clared following the adjournment of parliament until autumn. In his newspaper, Cremona Nuova, Roberto Farinacci, secretary of the fascist party, demands that the lead- ers of the Aventine opposition be ex- iled. He urges more violence against the fascistis.

Yet any alienation of the Chinese masses in the north from Chang Tso- lin, would leave thé student leaders and workers, to be championed by General Feng Yu-hsiang, the military leader who recently declared that his army was ready to sacrifice for na- tional liberation. Canton General Strike on Tight. CANTON, June 23.—Shameen, the artificial island which is the Canton foreign settlement, to day was in a state of siege. Two gunboats, British and one French, held com- manding positions in the creek separ- ating Shameen from the city. All ap- proaches to the island were fortified with piled up sandbags and quick firing guns. A fresh contingent of French sailors arrived this morning and took up quarters in Shameen, The general strike is continuing, under the Kuo Min Tang (people's party), the present ruling faction in Canton. Anti-imperialist feeling is especially strong against Japanese and British nationals and interests. The Americans are reported receiving better treatment. * ¢e Crisis Acute at Hong Kong. HONG KONG, June 23.—The strike situation became more effective here today when delivery workers of the dairy farms joined the walkout, en- dangering fresh food supplies for the foreign settlement and native quarter. Government control of food and fuel, as well as vehicles for distribution of supplies, was inuagurated when the authorities issued a proclamation today placing emergency regulations in effect. All mails, telegrams and cables are censored, both English and Chinese. The Chinese staff of the Metilda hospital struck this morning. British Crews Quit. Crews, of several British vessels walked, out- today. Street car motor- men and conductors were lined up with the strikers almost to a man. Coolies at the newspaper plants here quit work and the printing staffs were expected to follow them. Volunteer white guards were mobil- izeh at the foreign colony to protect the settlement against attacks of strikers. BRITAIN’AND UNITED “STATES IN SECRET M TO COMBAT RI rHE DAILY 4 id ut * ie Yea .

SHANGHAI, China, June 23.—Be- fore proclaiming law in Shanghai, General "Hstieb-liang, son of the Manchurian militarist Chang Tso-lin, left the city “rapidly and secretly,” leaving no public ex- planation of his going. His martial law proclamations for- bid public meetings, printing of pro- paganda literature favoring the libera- tion of China from foreign imperial- ism, forbids cartoons and posters on such subjects, provides,for the con- fiscation of all arms and ammunition the censoring of letters, telegrams and cables and ) of, ships arriv- ing and leaving. It threatens the exe- cution of any violator of.the decree. Yet it is being violated wholesale, and it is a question whether his troops can enforce the ¢4@icfi against the angry masses. The still is most effective. EP | A local com fed bl foreign interests to dicker with strikers try- ing to get them to bragk the strike, was chased into the,river and drown- ed. A white guard.Britisher in the machine gun corps, was, mussed up with a meat chopper yesterday and sent to the hospital. > + + China’s Foreign Office Spunky. PEKING, China, June 23.—Follow- ing the return of the diplomatic dele- gation from ShangWai atid its report to the diplomatic corps, the Chinese foreign office awaits the return of the minister of foreign affairs with the findings of the Chinése delegation re- garding the Shanghai incidents. It will then issue a further statement. The Chinese foreign office, altho virtually unsupported by the present Tuan Chj-jui government, is staunchly upholding the demands of the Chinese delegation that future negotiations cover the question of the “rendition” of the mixéd court, Chinese repres- entation in the municipal administra- tion of the foneign ‘settlement in Shanghai, amelioratiomof labor condi- tions and the dismissal of tne secre- tary of the municipal touncil, who is responsible for the activities of the Shanghai police, 7 > *s Chinese Killh gan Agent.

Immediately everyone. stood his ground ready to counter the attack, waiting for the alarm to be sounded. Without previous discipline, every member was in his place, a disciplin- ed level-headed soldier; faces were tense amd bodies alert and ready to spring into action. Then the word was passed ‘around that it was a false alarm. The tension relaxed; the si- lence was broken, and laughter and merriment again resumed their sway over the gathering. Once @ woman screamed; and at the weird note, again everybody sprang to their feet, and each one grabbed a chair, a bottle or whatever missile .or utensil happened to be nearest him or her. Then we were told it was simply a case of nerves and the boys and girls again resumed their play. Outside Patrol—And Inside Sentries. And let me not forget to mention the brave guard who patrolled in relays in front of the union head- quarters, in the night, all night long on the watch for unwelcome gang- sters. And those who were down in the cellar, with all doors and win- dows barred, sweltering in the heat and with the unwholesome air of many persons breathing in unventilat- ed places. These brave soldiers, with the first faint glimmerings of dawn, when re- lief came, were pale and fagged, but the spirit of hope and courage and inspiration was with them all. After a night so spent they were ready for a hard day’s toil, and on the morrow again the night watch. And~-so it goes. Some work by day and watch our headquarters by night; and those who are unemployed, stand guard all day, and oftimes all night too. Some of our members have not seen the inside of their homes for a week; others who live in furnished rooms, have given up their rooms and stay at the headquarters all the time. Some of them have come specially from out of town— from the Catskills and camps, where they have been spend- ing a short vacation, or recuperating health, to guard what is theirs—what is so dear to them, the home of the union, and see that gangsters do not route them out.

In their traction program, the so- cialists adopted the plank of munici- pal ownership of traction with con- trol in the hands of a board composed representatives of the chief political parties. This means that the social- ists propose the management shall. be in the hands of representatives of the capitalist parties with the socialists sitting in the board. The slogan of the socialists in this proposal is typi- cal of the middle class ideology “keep the traction out of politics.” The rest of the program consists of similar effete reformistic demands. The whole platform breathes the spirit of conciliation and collabora- tionism. Change Rules of Labor Exchanges. MOSCOW.—A regulation has been issued, revoking the former practice of compulsory hiring of labor force thru labor exchanges. The hiring may be made thru the labor exchanges as well as without them. In order to register the number of workmen em- ployed, the employer must give meces- sary statistical information.

He makes ten to twelve dollars a week provided that he works every day. Such being the case it is no easy matter for him to find the proper lodging. With a good bit of perseverance he may find a room that he can afford, where he.can live in an emergency, or which is presumably a place where he ean at least sleep. When my legs were already fagged out from walking I thought that I had at last discovered the very room in It faced on the street. It was a bright room, and the woman didn’t ask for too much. Twelve dol- lars for the whole month. I would have preferred to pay rent by the week, but her principal condition was payment for the whole month. As I am a very thrifty person I thought that I could make ends meet somehow the first week. Maybe I'll have good luck with the telegrams, maybe there will be a wedding, or something of the sort, that will fetch more tips— you never can tell. One grasps for- tune by the hair in the form of a cheap room-—if there is a chance to do 80. HE moving was not an elaborate affair. When I had moved in I noticed that my room had no “separate entrance.” ‘Im the room next to the kitchen —* slept a boy of about ten. He had eg bed, but six chairs standing in a row. On the chairs there was a blanket, on the blanket a pillow. A torn sheet served as 0 cover. In the next room there was a wide bed. The mother lay on it, and near her a grown up girl. Between the two slept a tiny child. At the foot of the bed, along the back slept a boy of about three. In an alcove leading into my room & man and a little boy of five lay on a wide bed. A heavy, unpleasant human smell hovered in the room. The oil lamp burning in the middle of the room veiled all in a mysterious half dark- ness. My room had no door, and the win- dows could not be opened. I went to bed. But thé exhalation hung before my nose and did not let me fall asleep. And suddenly I was overcome by an unpleasant sensation. Something crawled over my face. I felt a painful moistness, and right after that an un- bearable smell that instanly revealed the cause. I turned on the gaslight. And I be- gan my campaign. The bed-bugs— for that’s what really they were— having swarmed- out for the attack, wanted to take the position by storm. They charged forward in close ranks. Whole pyramids were already piled up before my bed, and so I thought that. I must have succeeded at lAst in com- pletery rousing the enemy.

In the morning I busied myself with my books. I studied, wrote, read. The woman asked me whether the bed-bugs still tormented me even after the big cleaning. What could I have said? I assured her that I could sleep now. Thereupon she suddenly broke into tears. I don’t like to see women cry- “I was afraid already that you should go away. And I needed to have the money so much. I don't know if my husband will send me some money.” “Isn't that your husband, that man who sleeps with the little boy?’— off the gas, but the very next moment I asked in amazement, “My husband? No, that is a cousin who helps me out... My husband? He has deserted me together ‘with all the children.” | She spoke in a sing-song voice, with the typical eagt-side Russian-Jewish tone. Her eyes blazed, every muscle of her face twitched violently. “Rachel brings home ten dollars Morris shines shoes after school, but what is that? Five dollars a week? Such a big loafer! In a few days he will be ten years old, and makes five dollar a week! Please, mister”’—and now she spoke in g confidential tone— “can’t my boy get a job in the West- ern Union?

The mother had discovered that the five year old Lesly was sucking can- dy. A big investigation. Blows, cross-questioning. And it turned out that the candy came from Morris. Brandishing desperately the remains of the candy the woman came into my room. “Look here! That's what kind of children I have!. They take the bread from my mouth.

Then he asked for five dollars. There were three responses, but the ushers were unable to discover two of them. Then Lynn Thompson appealed for a general hat collection. In that section of the crowd where the writer stood, Murray King did not collect a single nickel. He stood amazed. The coliec- tion. was a distinct disappointment. Mr. Birch Wilson of Reading, Penn., who is the financial agent of the Cahn venture, protested to a comrade in the following language: “Jesus, this meet- ing turned out to be a financial bloom. We didn’t collect $35.00.” This collection is a good indication of the sympathy with which the at- tempt to revive the local socialist party met. Debs Is Disgusted When Debs was introduced, it was noticeable that no great ovation was accorded him, as in former days. This was true because the class conscious workers of the city, knew that weed was being used by the Bastis-Thomp- In fact, on the picnic grounds, the workers discussed this thing quite openly. Debs talked for an hour. He made the same speech that he has \been making over the country for the last | twenty-five years. It begins with the | chattel slave under the Roman patri- | cian, and then takes the proletarian family into feudalism and out of it in- | to capitalism. .The only new addition to it is that past of his speech which deak with his war experiences.

The periodical accompanies the faising of these problems by practi- cal and sensible suggestions for their solution, thus gradually training its readers not to drag any “moral” al- lusions into the consideration of poli- tics and economics, but to judge of these matters solely from the class war standpoint. In this manner the Communist Review has succeeded in drawing a definite boundary line be- tween itself as a Marxist revolution- ary .periodical and the petty bour- geois sentimental press of the*so-call- ed English socialists, especially the Socialist Review and the New Leader.

P. PICNIC The annual picnic of local Chicago of the Workers Party will be held next Fourth of July in Beyer’s Grove, at the end of the California Avenue car line. The main object of the affair is to make money with which to keep the wheels of Communist propaganda revolving for the next year. Such a frank statement of fact is deserving of financial recognition. It is true that the organizers of the picnic have made arrangements to provide every kind of entertainment that peo- ple in ordinary circumstances can think of or procure, in order to keep the guests tickled intellectually and physically, as well as to make them forget the art of saving money for a rainy day and spend it while yet there is time. . Very many methods will be readrtea to from music to soft drinks, franie furters on rye and coffee with cream. There is usually more fun in spending money than in receiving it, tho on this occasion it is doubtful if those who give will be any happier than those who receive. There Will Be Talking. ,Last but not least, there will be speaking. Many people come to a pic- nic—strange tho it sounds—to hear speakers. Those who come to our July 4 affair will not be disappointed. Among those who will send the mess age of Communism to wrestle with the ether are James P. Cannon, mem- ber of the Central Executive Commit- tee of the Workers Party and Henry Philips, organizer of the American Negro Labor Congress. It should not be overlooked that the July 4 picnic will be as much of an anti-imperialist demonstration as ‘anything else, with particular refer- ence to the struggle in China.

The few scabs are doing no work inside. Last January the weavers went out alone. This time, the twisters, loomfixers, the whole weaving depart- ment is out. It is a winning situation, the company having orders and de- siring to open the department. The Lady Enters Mics Wein.tock, the federal conci- liator, appeared on the scene. She was allowed to address the strike meetings. On Wednesday, she met with the strikers’ committee all after- noon till 8 p. m. On Thursday; she told the strikers at their meeting that the company officials stood firm, and she advised them to go beck on the old conditions two loom system, no wage increase, etc. She also advised a vote on return- ing empty-handed, by secret ballot. She asked the older workers’ with families to stand up, and say whether they wished to go back. On Friday, she got the strikers to take a vote on whether there should bé any secret ballot.

She told the workers sie be- lieved the promises of the company; that it would consider later thé pos- sibility of granting a wage increase. ’ She asked on Friday if they Would run two looms, and again, on’ dondl- tion of higher wages. The mbi re- fused. Friday, she told them ‘that’ she had to take a train back to Boston that night, and wanted them te«settle the strike that night. Howévef, she was on hand Saturday! t Her Latest Plot Friday night, she called the strike committee together and fried to get them to agree to a compromise offer. Remember that up to now, the. com- pany has not made any offer to the strikers, except to return licked. And yet, this labor pretender calls on the strikers to give up a portion of their demands. Saturday morning, she announced that she had spoken with Mr. Blu- menthal, president, who informed her that McMeekan has the manager and authorized to settle all points except a general wage increase, which was the province of the board of directors, who were not disposed to grant the increase. She told the strikers she could get more from the company if she had the gtarantee from the strikers that they would support some definite of- fer. She asked if they would accept two looms, for a two months trial, on a guarantee of 64c. an hour, with a bonus, a weekly guarantee of $38. A thundering response: “No.” “We want one loom.” She announced that she would make a public recommendation for (1) re- turn of all strikers without discrimi- nation; (2), abolition of the two loom system on the wide looms; (3), reco- gnition by company of workers’ com-" mitees (suggested by the strikers...) So far, she has not made her recom- mendation public. As to the wage increase, she argued that a change is coming in the tex- tile industry, together with a general demand for a 10 per cent increase. In Willimantic, she declared, the strikers are fighting against a 10 per cent wage cut; and now is not the time for an increase. She ignored entirely the cut in January, which the present wage demand aims to restore. She ignored the fact that wages in Shelton are lower than in other centers. Preaches Slavery This company tool then announced that with real committees of the workers, they wouldn’t have to strike. They would talk for days and days around the conference table with the bosses. Then, seeing that the men were opposed to dropping the demand for a wage increase, she did not press her original demand for a vote. She announced that if they kept the one loom system, it was a 100 per cent victory. To her statement that the workers are suspicious of her, strikers replied that their suspicion is due to having been fooled by the company last Jan- uary. The strikers generally feel that she was doing the company’s bidding in trying to fool them into going back.

Saturday afternoon, after talking to the com- pany for several hours, she suggest- ed: that the strikers committee have verbal conversations with the manh- ager, that the committee then get full power from the strikers to sign, and then return to the company and draw up a statement and sign. She pleaded being tired, and hoped_that they would settle up quickly. The previous night, she tried to vamp the commit- tee. But her efforts failed completely. The committee got no power to sign. And nothing will be done til! Monday morning at the strike meeting. Who Is She? Miss Weinstock in her own defense announced that her record as a labor friend was clear and that she could furnish references. She claimed to have worked at a machine for seven years. She was in Boston, hovering around labor circles. Then she went campaigning to help Senator Lodge, arch conservative, labor hater, and fo her treachery secured her presént strike breaking job. She went to Willimantic, and had to beat a retreat, when the company refused to budge. She went to Bridgeport, pushed the Salt’s Mfg. Co. workers back to slave- ry, as will be shown in angther article. She then tried Shelton, to her dis- may. In Shelton, she bragged about her settlement in Bridgeport, but workers who had visited Bridgeport pe: the No reliance should be placed upon the idea that with Communism, for instance, the Plebs, are either willing or able to perform this task for ug.

The survey takes up, among other things, the relative dangers of grinding wheels, pneumatic drills and hammers, wet and Government Never Did Anything. This is the first thoro survey labor itself has undertaken of the hazards of this dusty trade, and the results, say union representatives, will not be systems of ventilation and exhaust be used as a basis for counteracting dangerous ‘conditions in the tradé. Heretofore, there have been occasion‘ al investigations by government bu- reaus, but they have not led to any action for cleaning up the trade. Government reports have at times shown up appalling comparative mor- tality figures, as the report of Dr. W. H. Drury to the U. 8S. Public Health Service, showing how polishers and grinders in a certain Connecticut ax factory died ten times as rapidly as other persons employed in the factory, from tuberculosis. But the problem of eliminating such industrial tuber- culosis was never satisfactorily dealt with. Wet Grinding no Safety Measure. One of the measures in which faith used to be placed, on the basis of older studies, was the wet grinding process. This was believed to be cém- paratively harmless. But, according to Drury’s study, when wet grinding was done on natural sandstone the tuberculosis rate was very high—19 per 1000 as compared with 1.6 per thousand for the rest of the workers. Peril in Pneumatic Hammers. The pneumatic air hammer is one of the high speed devices on trial be- fore the union’s health experts. This tool delivers 3000 to 3400 sirokes a minute, but the price for increased production is increased dust, and. con- sequently increased silicosis and tu- berculosis.

Physicians not employed by the com- pany, among whom is Dr. Harrison Martland of Hssex county, say the disease is caused thru inhalation of the fumes of the luminous paint. To prove their contention they point out the case of Dr. Bdwin D. Lemon, who was exposed to radium in experiments and also of women workers in the luminous paint department who died from the disedse. The investigation which the federaf authorities will con- duct must detérMiine exactly how the disease is cased.

Comrades Zokaitis, Kaplan, Cline and Mayler, were the speakers. Every one of the 50 copies of the DAILY. WORKBR which had been brot were sold, jong before the meet- ing was over.,.Twenty copies of the Young Worker were also sold. The South Side branch of the party has already taken in several members this year as a ult of its open air meetings, and } indications do not fail many more, will yet be taken in. At the méetingéfSaturday two young workers expressed a desire to join the League. One of them subscribed to the Young Worker. The names of more than 15 interested workers were obtained, and they will be sent litera- ture and invited to come to the meet- ings of the party. It is noticeable that the Workers Party is winning a real support among the negro workers who attend its open air meetings. The DAILY WORKER greatly outsells the Negro World, or- gan of the Universal Negro Improve- ment Association. which also holds meetings every Saturday night at 30th and State. Considerable compe- tition is developing between the Workers Party apd the U. N. I. A. to hold the crowds, In view of the fine results obtained at these meetings the South Side branch plans tovextend its open air work still further. Efforts will be made to hold four open air meetings weekly in the future.

Organize Coal Trust PHILADELPHIA, June 23— Coal miners should be employed 300 days a year and fewer mines operated to overcome the chaotic condition in the industry due to overdevelopment, Sec- retary of Labor Davis told the grad- uating class of Pennsylvania military college. Davis said that some one—he did not indicate who—must come into the coal business and “stabilize” it; that all the coal in the country is being produced by men who work two and a half days a week. Secretary of Commerce Hoover, with the bureau of mines under his control now, is supposed to be assist- ing in the anthracite merger of coal mining and selling companies. Pasquale Russo in Favor of Uniting All Defense Bodies The DAILY WORKER is in receipt of the following letter from the well known fadical writer and speaker, Pasquale Russo. It is one of the many letters endorsing the idea of a united front in defense of all clase war pris- oners received by this paper: 833 Sedgwick St, | Chicago, Illinois, — June 19, 1926. DAIIs WORKER: Hearty con. gratulations for the very splendid work of Comrade George Maurer in calling a national] conference for the purpose of instituting a National La- bor Defense Council. This is timely as the American bourgeoisie are now making ready for another attack upon the workers of this country. We must prepare for the event, and deliver blow for blow. In fact we must be prepared to defend the future victims of Ameri- can terrorism. This can be best ac complished by uniting all defense committees into one body. Edward A. Filene, referring to the international chamber of commerce, said: “The business men of the world are united.” To this we should answer by saying: “We, the workers of the United States are now pre pared to defend all victims of inter- national capitalistic terrorism.” All workers should suppert the movement, or be adjudged as favoring the master class. With very best wishes for the suc cess of the plan, I am, Fraternally, . (Signed) Pasquale Russe Little Fish Object to Being Swallowed by the Big Fellows NEW YORK, June 23.—About 1,500 hat and capmakers are idle due to the refusal of contractors to accept work from jobbers at present rates. Thé Wholesale Hat and Cap Manu- facturers’ Association is virtually on strike against the jobbers, claiming that their expenses are often great- er than what the jobbers pay for the product. Workers employed in hat and cap- making directly for dealers are not affected by the contractor-jobber strike. “The contractors want a 7%4)per cent increase in profits in order:te get along,” says Isidor M. Jaffe, presi- dent of their association. The $3 a dozen price would give them 15 cents a dozen profit. ‘Why the Capitalist State?’ Answered by State Police of Pa.
