Browne, Labor M. L.A., for Burnaby, moved the following resolution, for the expulsion of the Klan from this province, as ah amendment to the Speech from the Throne: "We regret, however, that a fraudulent, alien, terrorist organization known as the Ku Klux Klan is attempting to organize in British Columbia; "And that the purpose of this Body is to perpetuate and promote religious hate among our citizens, and substitute lynch law for duly constituted authority; "Ahd that the past record of this society is one of murder, violent assault, and unspeakable crime. "Therefore, we would urge your government to take the necessary steps to restrain this seditious movement, and bar its membership from all elected or official positions under the Crown." In the course of his speech Comrade Brown told of the hideous terrors wrought by the Klan in American cities, and warned that the same thing would happen here if the organization was permitted to grow.* He stated that it was a movement looked upon favorably by the decaying American civilization, which was always ready to make use of any extra-legal weapon thai would assist the government of that country in retaining power.

So far as food was concerned, there was a scanty supply at every meal. It is small wonder that so Educational Workers In Russia Organized (By Scott Nearing, Federated Press.) MOSCOW.—Educational workers in the Soviet Union are organized Teachers, library workers and journalists all belong to the same federation. Early in 1925 the membership in this federation was 583,811, compared with 382,000 members in 1923. There are 17,294 library workers and 11,230 journalists. The other half million members of the union are teachers. Go where you will in the Soviet Union, and you will find that most of the teachers are union members. This is true even in tiny villages.

The order can be executed in 12 or 14 months. The managing director of the firm aald that it is the biggest order which was ever given to the firm.

Profits (By C. McKay, Federated Press.) MONTREAL.—When the Canadian government took over the Grand Trunk, the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern and combined them with the government railways, an executive of the Canadian Northern was placed in charge of the whole system. During his administration of two years the operating deficits were $90,- 000,000. During the three years Henry Thornton has been chief executive, operating profits of $40,- 000,000 have been made, despite substantial reductions In freight rates. Interest charged against the Canadian National, however, total about $65,000,000 a year. That burden was imposed on the Canadian people by a government composed of conservatives, liberals and pro-i gresslves, mainly to save the Canadian Northern and some big banks from bankruptcy, for years the Canadian Northern had been selling bonds for as low as 30 cents on the dollar. But the act, jammed through parliament creating the National system, made these bonds worth par plus accrued interest.

Nominates Its Formed in Vancouver Municipal Candidates As a preliminary to the formation of an international club in Vancouver, a luncheon was held at the Ambassador Cafe on Thursday, when about eighty people of various nationalities, were present. Dr. Lyle Telford, who had convened the gathering spoke briefly on the necessity for such a club— especially in Vancouver where so many nationalities meet. He outlined the aims of the club, and suggested that a programme along educational lines, be adopted. He also pointed out that it would be desirable to welcome travelers—of whatever nationality, and learn their viewpoint. Only by an interchange of ideas and a better understanding of one another's ideas and difficulties, could harmony be maintained. Mr. J. C. Goho (Gobar), who had first conceived the idea of such a club, spoke on the work for international education which was being done in India, and made several useful suggestions for the business of organizing. Professor Hill- Tout deplored past methods of handling international problems, and enthusiastically suported the effort that Is being made. Mr. Kobe of U. B. C, spoke on the unenviable social position of the Japanese in Canada due to race prejudice, and on behalf of his countrymen and women, promised every possible assistance. Mr. Cheng, editor of the "Daily People" insisted, as some of our own great thinkers do, that nationalism is not opposed to Internationalism; the Chinese were strongly nationalistic, but this trait helped them to an international outlook. Mrs. Stuart-Jamteson was also enthusiastic about the Club and voiced a hope that it would be conducted along practicable lines, as is, for example, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. Rev. A, Williams of Wesley Church emphasized the need for the carrying out of such principles as the club had in mind, here in Vancouver. People usually turn their attention to far-away problems, but there are many vital ones awaiting solution in our own City. A provisional board as representative as possible, was appointed, as follows: Dr. Lyle Telford, Mr. Goho, Mrs. Jamieson% Mr. Kobe, Mr. Beverley Paten, Mr. Cheng, Colonel Brothers, Professor Hill- Tout, Mr. Meilicke, Mjr*. E. A. Davis, Mr. S. Brent, Rev. Mr. Osterhout, Rev. A. Williams, Rev. R. J. Mclntyre, Mr. Jas. Taylor, Mr. Hobson, Mr. Ajlb Singh (Sangha), Mr. W. Lefeaux, Mr. Yonumura. It is expected that the board will meet some time during the coming week. Labor's candidates for the coming municipal election were nominated at last meeting of * the Greater Vancouver Central Council of the Canadian Labor party. It was decided to contest three wards in the city, those selected being Ward Six, R. P. Pettipiece; Ward Seven, W. J. Seribbins; Ward Bight, Angus Mclnnis. For School Trustee, A. V. Lofting, and for Parks Commissioner, W. Deptford. Candidates were also appointed to contest seats in South Vancouver. These were J. G. Smith, W. H. Cotterill, J. Rankin, A. McDonald and J. Wilson. For School Trustee, Alfred Hurry. Nominations for the Burnaby Municipal Council were left over until next meeting of the C.L.P., which will be held on November 30th. The various Labor councillors who have held office during the past year gave a resume of the work they have endeavored to do. At the close of the meeting it was announced that on Wednesday evening next a meeting would be held in the Holden Building for the purpose of forming a La* bor choir. Reports from all parts of the country show that every progressive unit. of organized labor, both industrial and political, are responding favorably to the call of Labor Defense. In some places local conferences will be called for the purpose of organizing branches, In other places branches will be organized immediately. A mass meeting was called by the Canadian Labor Defense League in the Labor Temple, Sunday, November 1st. Stirring addresses were given by James Simpson and Tim Buck. When Chairman John Young appealed for members 89 joined, including a number of women. This adds another branch to the list. In response to the circular sent to the unions and central labor councils etc., the Toronto District Labor Council replied it had decided to affiliate en bloc and at the same time had passed a resolution calling upon its afflliated units to support Canadian Labor Defense. The Executive Committee of the Canadian Federation of Women's Labor Leagues likewise supports Canadian Labor Defense. Kusbas Colony Seeks American Engineer (By Federated Press.) NEW YORK—Engineers and skilled mechanics from America who would like to try their Industrial craftmanshlp In the new industry springing up on the steppes of central Siberia under the guidance of the Kusbas autonomous industrial colony are asked to communicate with the New York office of the enterprise at 799 Broadway. This first call for a considerable group of Americans that has been made in a couple years follows the announcement by S. J. Rutjers, president of the board of managers, that $2,000,000 will be spent the coming fiscal year on new construction. During October, 120 cases of striking miners came before the courts. 90 of these cases were sent up for trial before the Supreme Court to be held in November. This entails a heavy erpense. The lawyer demands $1600 before he handles the cases. The Drumheller Branch of the C. L. D. L. sends an urgent appeal to the National Office for assistance. Every worker and all workers' organizations are urged to assist the miners and their wives who now face the courts because they struggled against a wage reduction.

CHICAGO. — Union carpenters have continued to advance the general level of wages during 1925, although their gains have not been so numerous as those recorded by the bricklayers and electrical workers, according to the report of the U.S. department of labor on union wages and hours. In seven of the 38 cities covered by the report, union rates for carpenters were higher on May 1, 1925, than in 1924. In two cities there were decreases. The average rose from $1,056 per hour Ip 1924 to $1,071 in 1925, a gain of less than 1% per cent. Extending the comparison back to 1920, we find 21 of the 38 cities reporting increases, while 6 cities show declines in minimum wages paid union carpenters. The average of the 38 cities rose from 97.6c in 1920 to $1,071 in 1925, a gain of 9.8 per cent. As the cost of living has fallen over 15 per cent, in the same period, the last five years have witnessed material improvement in the living standards of union carpenters. The 44-hour week prevails except in Cincinnati, whew they work 44% hours, and in Richmond, where the regular week is 47-'hours. In 1920 unio*n carpenters worked longer hours in Charleston, S.C.; Cincinnati, Indianapolis, New Orleans and Richmond. Since 1913 fourteen cities have been brought into the 44-hour column. .

As a result 300 men.are on the blacklist in this small place, which means that one out of every 10 is victimized. Even the women of the district are protesting against this discrimination. penter wages with a minimum 0f $1.50 an hour. Pittsburgh follows with $1.37%. The rates in St. Louis ls a gain of 60 per cent over 1920 and of 140 per cent over 1913. In Pittsburgh the gains have amounted to 53 per cent, and 150 per cent., respectively. Union carpenters have the lowest scale in Charleston with-a rate of 70c, which means a reduction of 12%c from 1920. Minimum hourly rates for union carpenters in 18 leading cities in 1913, 1920 and 1925 were: Olty— 1918. 1920. 1025.

In September 19, leaders of the Trade Union Movement of Roumania were arrested, the police declaring that they were holding an illegal meeting. They have been handed over to Court Martial. A hunger strike has obtained for them a temporary release. In Bulgaria a reign of terror exists against the workers and peasants. Zankoff's government is excelling itself in showing how it can exterminate those who rebel against oppression. The report of the delegation sent by the Labor Women in Great Britain is interesting in this connection. This special delegation consisted of Dr. Marion Phillips, chief woman organizer of the B. L. P., Ellen Wilkinson, M. P., and Lady Amesley. These women Were compelled to appeal to Premier Tsankov to stop the activities of the secret police in connection with their visit. Their report shows that since the Sept rising of 1923, 8,000 to 18,000 lives have been taken. After the Sofia affair in April a rough estimate shows that from 2,000 to 5,000 people have suffered death or imprisonment or have fled. The Agrarian Party claim they have definite proof of the disappearance of 2000 of their members. This term 'disappearance' covers those who have been murdered by unauthorized persons who usually in the form of ex-officers corps, carry on terrlr- ist work. Within, the past few weeks the members of a communist district organization were arrested, tried by court martial, and sentenced as follows, 4 sentenced to death, the rest to imprisonment from 8 to 15 years. The Sofia court martial sentenced a group of students as follows: One to death, 8 others to penal servitude for 10 years or more. Persecutions in Hungary. Hungary is excited over the eapture of Matthias Rakosi, a former People's Commissar. He re-visited Hungary was betrayed by spies in the labor movement, and is to be tried by special court. Such a court is bound to issue a death warrant. Rakosi's wonderful bearing before the courts is gaining for him the admiration of the workers. Rakosi was at one time a member of the British Social Democratic Federation. He is known to. many Eng- linh speaking comrades of the labor movement. All will join ln protest against this trial symbolic of the period of the Dark Ages. Rakosi must be saved from the hangman's rope or the firing lines. Great Britain is in line with the white terror. The capitalist press everywhere is jubilant over the fact that the central executive committee of the Communist Party of Great Britain has been arrested, their headquarters raided, and all their work exposed. At the moment these men are released on bail. Jol.n Whatley and Maxton are putting up a free speech fight in Glasgow. So far they have paid the fines. Presently this way out will be exhausted. They claim they are ready to go to jail for the sake of free speech. AD! Bird, Bird *i Lefeaux, 401 Metr politan Bjidf. BATHS Vancouver '.risiklsh Baths, Pac* Bldg., 744 parting* St W.

MOSCOW. —According to the information of the Esthonlan section of the International Red -Aid, the month of September is conspicuous for the large number of political court martials. In nine trials, 60 workers and peasants were sentenced to 343 years hard labor for "Communistic activities." In the course of his letter, a political prisoner writes from Reval: "The inquiry prison in Reval, which is threatening to fall to pieces every day, is being evacuated and the prisoners are being crowded in the central prison. As, however, the central prison hitherto was overcrowded, the living conditions have become absolutely unbearable and impossible. From 35 to 40 prisoners are crowded into one cell, which was originally intended for from five to seven prisoners, and you can only sleep in an upright position. The meager prison rations have been again, cut down, and they have ceased to issue meat." RUMANIA The Rumanian grain export market is in a demoralized state, and grain dealers say this is due to the persistence of Russian grain offers in the European markets at low prices. It is stated that the shipment of barley from Russian ports last week exceeded 100,000 tons. With winter about to close the Danube river for shipping, Rumanian exporters are abandoning hope for any improvement in the grain export situation this year. AUSTRIA Nne thousand bakers are on strike and Vienna is breadless because the bakers refused to work for the same pay under a rapidly rising cost of living.

NEW YORK.—The slaughter of the workers and peasants of Bulgaria by the Tsankoff regime is presented with terrible vividness in uopoas suonBisa ibuojvbuj9:>uj em of the Nov. 4 Issue of The Nation where the fragment of a diary purporting to give the details of many group executions is given. The writer is aid to a captain ln charge of several villages. Six peasant prisoners1 are fetched in. The writer examines them. One is a schoolmaster who had been host to the writer a few days before. All are innocent. The aid reports to his captain. The captain is drunk. "Ha! Ha! Innocent men," he laughs uproarously, "that means guilty. In the decree it is said; no innocent men—do you understand?" Then the execution, with axes by an open grave. There, are orders against shooting; it might alarm the neighborhood. The victims fall into the pit, still alive. A soldier goes down with a bayonet but he is too sick with the ghastliness of the job to finish it. Another goes. The captain gives orders to fill the pit. "For God's sake, I am still alive," comes from the schoolmaster hoarsely and he raises his gory body. The aid draws his pistol to put his old friend out of his misery but the weapon ls knocked from his hand and the pit filled. PHILIPPINE ISLANDS National plebiscite to decide: whether Filipino's wish Independence or not will be held early next year, if Governor General Leonard Wood does not vote it, according to the leaders of the majority delegation in the Philippine legislature. A bill is now being prepared which will be presented to this session of the legislature which adjourns Nov. 9, providing for a referendum on .the question. (By Federated Press.) NEW YORK.—Fifteen hundred Greek fur workers who won a 10- day strike against their open shop bosses assembled before the Joint Board office to celebrate before returning to work under full union conditions. Bearing signs, announcing their victory and calling upon all non union fur workers to organize, the successful strikers were about to carry the celebration through the fur manufacturing district In a parade back to the jobs but the police at the last moment revoked their verbal permission for the parade and the workers concluded their rejoicing with a concert in the Joint Board building instead. Substantial wage Increases are won. Those who were getting $25 a week or less than the new minimum scale will now get at least $28 to $46, according to the grade of work they do. All will get 10 holidays with pay a year; 44 instead of 49 hours constitutes the working week. Time and a half pay for overtime and only union workers in the shops, are won. (By Federated Press.) SYDNEY, Australia.—On Sept. 9 representatives of all labor councils throughout Australia held a conference at Sydney to decide what action should be taken If the anti-labor federal government deported any trade union leaders because of helping the British strikers in their fight against the shipowners. The deportation legislation was taken as a direct challenge to the Labor movement. It was recommended that in the attempted deportation of any unionist no worker should in any way assist. The sea-transport workers were called upon to give loyal assistance. For the repeal of the legislation the. aid of the courts is to be invoked while deportation will be made a burning issue in the November federal elections. Regarding the British seamen's strike, the conference recommended that "all unions be called upon to pay a levy of 1%% per week of the earnings of the workers." Australian Labor May Win General Election GREECE In the recent municipal elections held in all Grecian cities, Communists were elected as mayors of Xanthl, the biggest industrial centre of Thrace, where the American Tobacco company has its largest warehouses and factories, and Saloniki. In Salonlki, the labor unions controlled by the Communists formed a united front with the refugees and put up a Communist on a united labor ticket. CHINA Reports from the south indicate that the imperialists are financing the new drive to overthrow the Canton Kuomlntang government. General Wai, who operates quite openly under the protection of the British at Hongkong, has raised an army of mercenaries, some white guard Russians among them, and is leading it against Canton. MELBOURNE. — The general elections for the Australian federal parliament take place Nov. 14. Labor, which already controls 5 of the 6 Australian states, seems to have the advantage in the federal elections and may get a majority In both the house Of representatives and the senate. To prevent Labor's rise to power, the Conservatives are. trying to work np the red menace. A prominent issue is the recent repressive legislation, including the deportation act, of the federal government. The red menace is also dressed up. Matthew Charlton leads the Labor party, while the Conservatives are led by Sv M. Bruce, the present prime minister. The Conservatives include the Country party representing the wealthy ranch-owners. A few Independents are also up. Lottery To Liquidate French State Debt PARIS.—The republican group in the French chamber of deputies and the senate, among which are Poincare, Millerand and former Finance Minister Francois Marsal, are considering means of having France raise money to meet her budgetary expenses by means of a lottery similar to that used by the Italian Mussolini government. These leaders of the republican party of France propose to establish lottery booths all over the country by means, .of. Which the state will be able to meet its expenses. '.'. . ".'.

Wholesale Arrests By Europe's White Guard LONDON. — The governments o'f Hungary, Bulgaria and Rumania seem to be in competition as to which can outdo the others in the commission of revolting outrages against the workers, whom they hold by hundreds in their dungeons. Prison murder is the plan favored ln Bulgaria, where two men, Nedew and Erebalakow, were shot by the guards in order that they should (pot benefit by a reprieve granted by the king. In Rumania hundreds of peasants are kept standing day and night. When they relate the tortures Inflicted on them by the police, the judge retorts: "That does not Interest me, and Is moreover known." Still more wholesTale are the proceedings In Hungary, where men have been tortured -for refusing to give evidence against their wives and sisters. Windy City Bosses Try To Frameup Strikers (Federated Press.) CHICAGO. — Conspicuous attempts by the International Tailoring Co. in Chicago to put the Amalgamated Clothing Workers i|ii a bad public light came to a head last week, when the bombing of the home of tho struck' company's sales manager was followed by the burning on a downtown street of a truck containing finished orders. While the daily press made it appear that these outrages were the work of alleged u,nion strong arm men, attendant circumstances showed, other possibilities, Among these were that the sales manager was preparing to leave town on a project . to re-establish the crippled company ln Moline, 111. Another was that every truck from the company building had been guarded by police on the few days that they had shipments ready, but in this case, according to the capitalist press, the policemen who had been regularly assigned to that duty "were otherwise engaged by order from the station." The union explanation is that a bombing of an unimportant company man's home when he was about to abandon it, anyhow, . was a convenient stroke by enemies of the union to damage it publicly at little risk. At the same time the truck, with the police "otherwise engaged," could be set on fire and thus the company would have an excuse for Its Inability to get out orders to customers and for running away from the fight by transferring to Moline. British Wireless Operators Strike LONDON—A strike of 160 wireless-operators and receiving clerks In London, Liverpool and Manchester has cut off the Marconi wireless communication from England to the continent and overseas. The men are striking to restore to their jobs nine workers who were discharged supposedly for reasons of "economy." The government wireless Is the only one working in England today. Starving Workers May Force Wage Increase (By Federated Press.) NEW YORK—The south will have to raise the wages of its cotton factory workers in the general opinion of New England mill men. The argument is that the southern mills are no longer working full'' time and that It will be necessary to raise thc wage rate if the working force ls to be kept alive. But the boosters for southern industrialism are still lauding Dixie labor prices. The Sunday Times' last feature display was an article on the new south by Frank Bohn, formerly a radical socialist but now a conservative, emphasizing the south's advantages with a $2-a-day wage.

A T the present moment, when our rulers are busy glorifying the last war, the following by Clarence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer, is particularly seasonable: Verlstingin, he painted was as war has ever been, as war will ever be, a horrible and ghastly sight. Where men drunk with blind passion, which rulers and their tools call patriotism, and made mad with fife and drum, and shot and shell and flowing blood, - seek to wound and main and kill, because their masters give the word. He paints a battlefield, a field of carnage and of blood. And who are these who fight like fiends and devils driven to despair? What cause is this that makes these men forget that they are men, and vie with beasts to show their cruel thirst for blood? They shout of home and native land, but they have no home, and the owners of their native land exist upon their toil and sweat and blood. The rulers, capitalists and kings, for whom this fight is waged, are far away upon some hill beyond the reach of shot and shell, and from that point they watch theii- slaves pour out their blood, to gratify their greed and pride and lust for power. Who are the enemy they fight? Slaves Uke themselves who freely give their toil and blood, which everyone their masters may demand. The fighting soldiers have* no cause for strife, but their masters live by kindling ln their hearts a love of native land, a love which makes them hate their brother laborers of other lands, and dumbly go to death at a government's demand. But let us look once more, after the battle has been fought. Here we see the wreck and ruin of the strife. The field is silent, now given to the dead, the beast of prey, and night. A young soldier lays upon the ground. The lonely mountain peaks rise up on every side. The wreck of war is all about. His uniform is soiled and stained. A patch of red is seen upon his breast. It is not the color his country waved to catch his eye and bait him to his death. It Is his life blood, which flowed out through a wound, which follows a bayonet to his heart. His form is Cold and stiff, for College Heads Request ' Miss Whitney's Release (By Federated Press.) NEW YORK. — Pleading that both Presidents Harding and Coolidge waived the requirement of personal application for pardon in the general amnesties signed for wartime political prisoners, college presidents, educators and publicists have signed a letter to Governor Friend W. Richardson of California asking the pardon of Charlotte Anita Whitney, convicted under the state's criminal syndicalism law. The precedents of Governor Small of Illinois and Governor Smith of New York in not requiring personal application before granting pardons to Communists under similar laws are also cited. he is dead. The cruel wound and icy wind have done their work. The government .which took his life, taught this poor boy to love his native land. As a child he dreamed of glory and of power, and the great world just waiting to fall captive to his magic strength. He dreamed of, war and strife, ( of victory and fame. If he should die, kind hands would smooth his brow, and loving hearts would keep his grave a memory green, because he died in war. But no friend is near him now at last, as the dusk of night and mist of death shut out the lonely mountain from his sight. The snow is all around, the air is grey with falling flakeg, which will soon hide him from the world, and when the summer time shall; come again none can tell his, bleaching bones from all the rest. The only life upon the scene is i the buzzard circling low above the<| boy, waiting to make sure that death has come. The bird looks. down upon the boy, into those eyes^ which first looked out into the great world, and which his mother fondly kissed. Upon those . eyes | the buzzard will begin his meal.

PAUL. — Attacks launched on one of the strongholds of the American Federation of Teachers, the St. Paul Federation of Teachers, are vigorously repelled by the union's board of directors in an open letter to the publio. Mayor Arthur Nelson accused the union of forcing teachers to become members and of spending the city's money paid to them as wages on questionable labor enterprises through their per capita payments to the St. Paul Trades & Labor assembly, the American Federation of Teachers, and the American Federation of Labor. He further charged that a small clique ran the organization and that its delegates to the St. Paul central labor body had voted against the expulsion of the Communists. The wome*n teachers face and answer every charge in their reply. Certainly they entertain new teachers and ask them, but do not force them, to join the union, and certainly they pay per capita, but most of their dues, lower than the average union rate, goes to hospital and benefit funds for their members, maintenance of club rooms and the support of their professional activities, the teachers reply. Their delegates voted neither for nor against the Communists in the trades assembly, but registered their disapproval - of the way the assembly kicked the radicals out, and the membership of the teachers' union sustained the delegates, the mayor is further told. And for good measure the mayor is courteously called a prejudiced liar in these terms: "In general the statements contained in the article aflid the editorial are biased and without adherence to fact." In his rejoinder he demands an accounting of the funds of the union. The teachers are preparing their reply. State-Owned Business Rolls Up Big Profits (By W. Francis Ahern, Federated Press.) SYDNEY, Australia. — Record profits are shown by three of the state-owned industrial undertakings of the New South Wales Labor government, thought the products are sold cheaper than in private enterprises, while the workers get higher wages and better conditions. The state-owned brick works closed the year ended June 30, 1925, with a profit of $160,745. After providing $12,500 for additional plant and distributing $48,- 225 among the employes, this being a bonus above usual wages for continuous employment—$90,020 is carried forward to accumulated profits, now totaling $538,117.50. During the year the works were enlarged at a cost bf $130,000, paid for out of profits. The entire cost of the project has been repaid and the industry Is now working on its profits. The bricks are $5 per 1,000 cheaper than those of private brickworks. The output is the highest of any yard in the state. The state-owned metal mines closed the year with a profit of $106,025. After distributing a bonus among the employes, the balance, now totaling $330,239. The reserve stands at $389,905, and the cash accounts at $165,730. This concern has paid back half the capital advanced by the government. The state-owned reinforced concrete pipe works showed a profit for the year of $101,220. After distributing a bonus to the employes of $17,930, and making provisions for reserve, the balance was added to accumulated profits now totaling $280,970. The reserve stands at $125,160. The government will establish a state-owned insurance office on the lines of Queensland. The state office will charge lower rates than private companies and all profits will be distributed among the policyholders as bonuses or lower premiums. In Queensland where the state has controlled insurance for the last eight years, premium rates have been reduced 25 to 33 per cent., while the rates payable in case of accident insurance have been increased in some cases 100 per cent. State Insurance also functions in New Zealand, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.

WASHINGTON.—Fearful of the ultimate success of the campaign led by the American Federation of Labor to secure ratification of the child labor amendment to the federal constitution, the National Association of Manufacturers has issued an endorsement of "junior education." Its lobby against the child labor measure has Issued from Washington headquarters a copy of resolutions adopted at the convention of the N.A.M. ln St. Louis October 28, asserting that it has "long supported and actively encouraged most generous support to educational facilities and all successful forms of industrial training." It boasts that the manufacturers have "led in the efforts" to improve all "proper" restrictions against "harmful and unwise junior employment." This claim is offered in extenuation of its admitted campaign against federal restriction of child labor.

Donaldson, Secretary Federated Seafarers of Canada.) SEAMEN'S ACTIVITIES SUFFERING ABOARD THE S. S. BAYOHIMO rVHE S. S. Baychlmo, owned and operated by the Hudson'. Bay Company left Vancouver on the 8th day of July, the crew having signed articles of engagement on the 6th of July to terminate at the port of Vancouver, B. C. The crew had some fearful tales to relate of their sufferings during the voyage, which could have been eliminated if the captain of the vessel had not.been trying to starve the crew. According to the reports of the crew the first port touched after leaving Vancouver, was Dutch Harbour, about which -time the men were beginning to. realize that there was to be a skinny supply of food, and other hardships that would have to be endured under the command of the captain. From Dutch Harbour the vessel proceeded to Tel-Tel, where the crew were to be supplied with native clothing, but it was blowing so hard the captain did not wait for supplies. At this point there was no fresh meat aboard or if there was the firemen and sailors did not receive .any. The vessel proceeded to Point Barrow where six natives were picked up to work cargo. At this port quite a few reindeer were taken aboard, which were intended to satisfy the hunger of the crew, but as the meat had been hanging so long it was practically unfit to eat and was given to the pack of dogs, after the men had complained of the smell of the meat, and that they desired it removed. Only three weeks after the vessel left Vancouver the men were put on English deep sea rations which is on a par with the hunger ships of the C. G. M. M. After getting to Herchel Island the chief engineer (who was anxious to have good men with him) asked the firemen (of whom there were six) and a donkeyman, if they would work overtime and get the rate of thirty six cents an hour for doing so. The firemen refused as the natives were getting one dollar an.hour, and the rate offered was not consistent with the rates usually paid ln the ports of British Empire Cafe QUALITY COURTESY REASONABLE 76 Hastings East HAROLD DEGO and BOB KRAU8E Ute 84th Batt. sad 7tad Batt. Columbia. After a little dickering the men received the rate of fifty cents an hour for overtime. There was a shortage of fresh water, and when the men complained to the chief engineer he stated that It was not his fault, and that they would have to wash themselves on the deck of the ship, while they were in the Arctic region. Each man only received one blanket, which was not enough when the vessel was In cold surroundings, and to make matters worse the forecastle .was leaking bad, and when the men asked the captain to have it repaired he told them to fix it themselves. At this period the men requested some warmer clothing. This would have been granted but the men were to be charged the Arctic price. In other words they were to be robbed of their hard earned wages. All of the men were feeling the worse of the food that had been servd. Dried potatoes, salt beef and salt butter with no fresh fruit or vegetables and the supply was very scanty. On the return trip the vessel was at Herchel Island for a period of twenty-one days, during which time the men were kept on the watch and watch system until the vessel made her get away on September 30th. In the hurry to get clear of all danger of being frozen in the men heard stories of a bonus being paid if they managed to get out (which they were very much entitled to after the sufferings that they had endured) but when they were paid off they did not get the amount of overtime that should have been p*Jd them let alone a bonus. The accommodation aboard was very insanitary, from the day the vessel left Vancouver until her return there was no life boat drill. The supply of tobacco was cut short, and the men were charged prices that were unheard of, "Od- gens Fine Cut" tobacco was sold' to the crew at the price of $2 per pound and at Herchel Island they were charged $3 per pound. This is not usual aboard deep sea vessels, where the men are usually allowed tobacco at cheaper rates thaii they can buy It ashore. The captain could have got a supply of tobacco at Dutch Harbour at much cheaper rates than the men had to pay at Herchel Island. About ten passengers were aboard the "Baychlmo" on their way to Vancouver, and according to the report of one of the crew, one of them stated that it was a shame the way the seamen were treated. When the vessel docked at Vancouver the men made a rush to some place to eat, and as soon as their hunger was apeased they proceeded to get some treatment that would make them feel like the healthy men .that tliey were when they left on July 8th.- The Ask A. P. of L. To Join Against Europe Reds (By Laurence Todd, Federated Press.) WASHINGTON. — Arguments that the American Federation of Labor should forget its fears of European socialism and should affiliate with the Amsterdam International Federation of Trade Unions are now coming from a new quarter—the Boris Bakhme- teff group of Russian whites, which last gave allegiance to the Kolchak enterprise. The recent convention of the A. F. of L. voted instructions to the executive council to continue negotiations with Amsterdam, but it showed no anxiety to enter into affiliation unless on the terms laid down by the late Samuel Gompers and rejected by the I. F. T. U. Those terms were that American labor should not be bound by any action taken by the Amsterdam executive council—such as an appeal for a general strike or general protest at any situation arising, in any country. The American position has been one of refusal to be morally bound to join in what it might consider a. socialist move to prevent a war by general strike. The action of British labor in 1920, in defying the British government to start war against Russia, was cited as proof of the danger in any such affiliation. But the Bakhmeteff propaganda sets forth the alternative as being still worse. It describes the steady trend of British and Russian labor leaders to form a combination, either Inside the Amsterdam international or outside it. Hence the need for America to affiliate as an offset. In comment on this suggestion, an official in the Russian movement passing through Washington, said that British labor would be more likely to influence the Russians than the Russians the British. He did not believe that American labor would affiliate with Amsterdam, and in any case that would exclude Russian labor from the European situation, Notes From the Campi A MINIMUM WAGE FOR LUMBER WORI MAINLAND CIGAR STORE "The Place for Pipes*' Hail Orders Receive Prompt Attention 810 OARRALL STREET VANOOUVER, B.0.

Baychlmo, the ship that returned with two million dollars worth of furs. The ship is now on her way to England to lay up for the winter. None of the crew desired to go to England and be returned at their own expense. The overtime previously referred to, consisted of the men having to work before seven ln the morning and after five at night. Sometimes the men were working until ten and eleven at night. Then when it came to the day of paying off they were not allowed the proper amount. The crew seem to think that they were very unjustly dealt with, and although the Company reaps the benefit they are of the opinion that the captain was un just and neglectful in his treatment of the men aboard the vessel, * • * Nominations for office bearers of the organization are open until the end of the present month, applications should be sent to the secretary at Union Headquarters, 5-7 Flack Building, 163 Hastings Street W., Vancouver, B.

Major Burde, M.L.A. for Port Alberni, intends introducing a bill into the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia to provide a minimum wage for men, a,nd it is reported that this proposed act is aimed chiefly at aiding the men working in the lumber industry. I. is truly a sad commentary on the supine attitude of the men working ln the largest industry ln this province when it becomes necessary to protect their standard of living by legislation. Practically in every country in the world where capitalism obtains, the workers will put up sufficient of a fight on their own behalf to ensure an adequate amount of food, but apparently the men who follow the lumber industry have been driven to such a low point that they have not even the stamina to fight for food for themselves. There is no other way of looking at this matten The men who toil ln the saw mills are receiving a wage fully 20 per cent, below what the government states to be the poverty line, and there ls no complaint from them. It is hard to believe that these men are content with the wage they are receiving. There is not the slightest doubt they all desire more. Why, then, do they not go after it? There is only one reply, qnd that is fear. Fear of losing the precarious hold on live they now have. Fear that if they demand more they will be thrown out of a job, blacklisted, and left to starve. And with this fear sapping what little backbone "they have, they take what few crusts are flung to them, not even having the nerve to growl for more. The yoke of American capitalism may be driving the workers of Europe down to coolie standards, but there ls not the *—-—■ j French Labor Acts To Meet Immigrant Peril (By Len De Caux, Federated Press.) PARIS.—Immigration problems are not confined to the new world. Since the war French labor has had to face a big influx from all over Europe. The call for. the general strike of October 12 had* to be Issued in seven languages besides French, Both the French federations of labor (C. G. T. and C. G. T. U.) have taken steps to prevent undercutting by immigrant labor, through agreements with organized labor in the countries of origin, and by efforts to organize the immigrants into the French unions. Italy and Poland contribute the largest quota of Immigrant labor to France. In 1920 on the question of the employment of German labor in the war regions, the reformist French and German building trades unions signed a mutual agreement at Geneva. The left wing federation has been especially active ln the organization of the Immigrants. It supports, wholly or in part, seven foreign language labor papers and has six organization offices. It bases its work on the general principle that "the working class has no country." Full rights and free entry of Immigrants into existing unions, oppostioh to new unions along the lines of nationality, formation of language sections inside unions, special representation of immigrants in the control of the C. G. T. U„ circulation of the foreign- language labor pi-ess, solidarity of French unions ln backing demands of immigrant- labor, are its program. Deportation of militant immigrant trado unionists has been a weapon which the French government has used ruthlessly of late, the excuse being a red scare, carefully worked up by methods known on both sides of tbe Atlantic. slightest ' doubt but that standards exist right ln ou ln this Last Great West, the men working in the industry.

P.'s Report on Russia Air Minister Seeks More Cannon Fodder latronizo our advertisers. T ONDON.—That tbe Russian Government is firmly established and is steadily achieving the economio regeneration of the country, ls the opinion expressed by a party of Labor M.P.'s who have returned from a visit to tbat country. The party consisted of Mr. D. R. Grenfell, M.P.; Mr. G. H. HaU, M. P.; Mr. T. I. Mardy Jones, M.P.; Mr. R. A. Taylor, M.P., and Mr. R. C. Wallhead, M.P. (chairman), and they were accompanied by Mr. W. P. Coates as secretary. They were five weeks in Russia, and a preliminary report, which all have signed, states:— Economic Regeneration In our opinion the Russian Government is firmly established, and has the support of the great majority of the Russian people, and we Baw evidence on every hand that the Russian authorities are steadily achieving the economic regeneration of their country. Two of the party who had previously visited Russia in 1920 and 1923 respectively express the opinion that immense Improvements have taken place since their last visit. The steady expansion of the area of land under cultivation and the more scientific methods of agriculture, indicated by the large number of tractors in use and in the course of importation and manufacture, coupled with the large number of new electric power stations in course of erection, lead us to believe that next year will witness the "restoration of Russia's pre-war volume of production. In this connection an Interesting statement was made to us, in an interview by M. Trotsky, to the effect that Russia's production next year will equal In volume that of pre-war years; this will mark the end of the period of reconstruction and the beginning of a new era of economic expansion. Great Potential Market In our judgment it, will be an economical disaster for Great Britain if our rulers continue a political and economic policy that undoubtedly tends to exclude British goods from a great present and potential market. Russia, with her present population of 140,000,000, offers an immense field for British manufactured goods of practically every description, and her ability to .pay,, provided the necessary credits were advanced on reasonable terms, cannot be doubted. In our opinion there is no possible justification for the continued refusal on the part of the British Government to extend the provisions of the Trade Facilities Acts to Anglo-Russian trade. In view of the growing seriousness of the unemployed problem, it is essential that the present embargo on Anglo-Russian trade should be removed. Between October 1st, 1924 and May 31st, 1925, Russia Imported 32,247 tons of agricultural machinery of the value of approximately £2,000,000; of this machinery only 179 tons, of the value approximately £10,000, was imported from Great Britain. All the responsible members of the Russian Government are willing and anxious to enter into negotiations with Great Britain to conclude a reasonable treaty which will clear the path for fuller economic co-operation and political good will between the two countries. Harvest Good In the course of an interview, Mr. Mardy Jones, M.P., one of the deputation, said Russia had a record harvest this year, and many thousands of tractors and other agricultural implements were urgently required by the peasants, who would be able to pay for them on two or three years' credit out of the surplus of their annual har vest even if this was substantially less than the record harvest of this year. "The mining engineers of Russia," Mr. Jones added, "are very anxious to adopt the latest mining methods and introduce up-to-date machinery. They are very favorably impressed with British mining machinery, and, given a mutually satisfactory scheme of long credits, they could place very substantial orders here, Orders for British Coal "The whole of the existing, textile machinery in Russia has been bought from Great Britain, and the Russian Government are anxious to import quantities of the latest textile machinery from Great Britain. But the need for the manufacture of clothing is so urgent that, unless satisfactory negotiations can be concluded between the Soviet Government ands British manufacturers In the near future, they will be compelled to purchase textile machinery from America." Mr. Mardy Jones stated that the cost of coal transport from South and Central Russia to Leningrad and North Russia was so great that it was cheaper to import British coal for that region. Approval had been given to orders for 160,000 tons of Welsh and English coal foi Leningrad. There was no reason, if British coal exporters pushed their wares, why Britain should not be able to sell several million tons of coal a year to North Russia. LONDON.—Speaking at Lincoln recently, Sir Samuel Hoare, minister for ali-, appealed for Air Force Reservo recruits: "The world 'fs staggering under the burden of armaments," he said, "and as far as I am concerned I should welcome an opportunity that can be safely taken for reducing them. "The critical battles of the future will be fought over'our great cities, and the chief sufferers will be the civilians, men, women and children of our great towns. But air development has made immense strides. "Let me give you a single illustration. In the whole of the late war only some 300 tons of bombs were dropped by enemy aircraft in this country. "Air forces could today drop almost the same weight in the first 24 hours of war, and continue this scale of attack indefinitely. I need not dilate upon this terrible and repulsive picture." And then he had the impudence to ask for more recruits. British Labor Scores Europe's Prize Butcher LONDON.—The (following telegram has been sent to Admiral Horthy, regent of Hungary, on behalf of the British Labor movement: "The British Labor party understands that Communist and Socialist prisoners are being tried by court martial today. "We respectfully urge that the trial be public and open, In accordance with the customary judicial procedure throughout Europe, and strongly urge clemency for political offences." The telegram is signed by J. R. Clynes, M.P., for the Parliamentary Labor party; Robert Williams, chairman of the National Executive of the Labor party, and J. S. Middleton, assistant secretary of the Labor party. Claim Britain Aided In Persian Revolution Striking Irish Miners Go Into Coal Business (By Federated PreSs.) DUBLIt-T.—By going into the coal importing and distributing business the locked out miners of Ireland and their mates in the Workers Uni'on of Irelartd are providing cheaper coal to the public and at the same time keeping themselves fed and forcing their employers toward bankruptcy or a settlement with the men. The refusal of two members of the Workers' Union of Ireland to pay their union dues led to the lockout. The owners felt with the prospect of a coal strike in England that they would be able to sell thoir coal later at a much higher price and took Advantage of the union dispute to bring about the lockout. General secretary Larkin of the Workers' Union of Ireland turned the coal section Of the union in**., a co-operative organization for selling coal. Soon British ships loaded with coal came steaming into Dublin harbor. The union has already handled over 60 shiploads of coal, involving a turnover of nearly {500,000, The union talks of extending operations lnto~other industries. Coal that sells in Dublin for $14 per ton is sold by the union for $11 per ton. This price allows a handsome profit. British Unions Halt Reductions in Wages (By Federated Press.) LONDON.—Not only have the miners and 'the textile workers by their militancy warded off wage reductions and patched up a temporary peace in England, but the building workers have made a truce by whicli there will be no wage reductions for at least nine months. The shipyard unions are also holding their demands in abeyance while an inquiry ls made into the industry- Trouble is brewing on the railroads. The demands of the employers are totally irreconcilable with the programs of the unions, and the central wage board has failed to roach any agreement. The matter has been referred to the national wage board, so the railroads will enjoy a truce during the negotiations. The companies want a flat rate reduction In wages of $1.50 a week in rural areas and $1 in London. The workers demands are set out In the all-grades program of the National Union of Railwaymen and in the program of the Railway Clerks Association, embracing all-around increases in wages and general Improvements. The N. U. R. ls also demanding a pension scheme for railroad workers. The locomotive engineers union has begun a campaign to do away with overtime. On the Southern railway all members are refusing to work overtime when arriving at their local depots, if they have completed hours on duty. Electrification ls leading to unemployment, and the engineers refuse overtime while fellow-workers are workless. LONDON.—It ls reported here on reliable authority that British money and arms were behind the recent coup d'etat, by which the former premier of Persia, Rlza Kahn, now the new king, overthrew the shah. It is reported that attaches of the British foreign office have openly boasted that the revolution in Persia is part of a menacing <plot to girdle Soviet Russia with hostile governments, preparatory to a probable attack on the worker's republic whenever an opportune time arrives. This scheme, British diplomats think, is the best since the Locarno pact, which is supposed to have won Germany over to the British side of an alliance against the Soviet Union. Miners Protest Arrest Of British Communists LONDON.—The following letter has been addressed to the' Home Secretary by the Miners' Federation of Great Britain: "Dear Sir: I am instructed by my committee- to convey to you the strongest possible protest against the arrest and imprisonment of the Communist leaders. We feel that the method adopted in dealing with whatever offence Is alleged against them is contrary to every tradition of British justice and fair play, a*nd must have the condemnation of all British subjects, even if they are strong upholders of the British constitution.

Ihe management of Ihe Advocate assumei no responsibility for opinions expressed in this space, Editor Labor Advocate; Your last issue contains a letter from a J. N. Boult, in which he makes an attack upon the attitude adopted by Labor's candidate in the last federal election. According to Mr. Boult these men had their head in the air, and one would almost infer, their feet too, because they had the courage, to point out that palliatives do not palliate, and that there is but one way out of the existing social morass, and that ls the destruction of Capitalism. This to Mr. Boult, is an incorrect attitude. He wants them to have a string of reforms and issues half a mile long, just like the Liberals and Conservatives have got, which serves to show that even the 'pioneers of the Labor movement" have not yet got rid of the capitalist method of looking at things. Immigration certainly did form part of the Labor candidates election programme. Mr. Boult must know that if he followed what was said by Labor spokesmen during the election, therefore, we can come to no other conclusion but that they did not deal with the quesion in the manner that he desired. Personally, I was somewhat inclined to the view that the Labor candidates ran too strongly to reforms, and too little to pointing out that the only real soluion is the end of capitalism, but Mr. Boult's letter has to a certain extent relieved my fears. As for the statement that if the Labor candidates do not get more reformistlc a new Labor Party will take its place. I should like to point out to yotir correspondent that the C. L. P. comprises the entire ' organized Labor movement, that it embraces all shades of political thought, and that if any new tendency arises it will be manifested through that body itself and not by the formation of a new Party. Hoping that some other reader will deal more fully with the conclusions arrived at by Mr. Boult. Yours, R. WATERS. (By Leland Olds) A PROFIT of $42,400,412 was thc U. S. Steeel corporation's reward for buying labor cheap and selling Its product dear in the Srd quarter of 1025. ..This exceeds by $12,000,000 the profit of the same period last year and ls sufficient to pay both regular and extra dividends twice over. '..An extraordinary thing about these profits is that they were made by a corporation averaging only 72% of capacity production. Even in July when the average fell to 68%, U. S. Steel made a, profit of $13,908,613. The steel trust charges prices which produce double dividends while operating less than % capacity. Profits the first 9 months of the year amounted lo $122,907,625, equal after all interest charges and preferred dividends to $9.44 on each $100 share. Indications point to more than $13 a share for the entire year. Financial quarters are full of hints that continuation of such high profits will be found to justify an increase in the 7% dividends now being paid regularly on over half a billion dollars of common stock which originally represented no Investment whatsoever. ' Only 5 days before announcing these excessive profits chairman (Jary said: "If One should ask whether or not there is any panacea for the ills that sometimes appear to the moral, political, social or economic life of the nation, the answer ls, 'Yes, by the general adoption and practice of the Colden Rule.' If any one protests that this is impractible such a one, of course refers to others and does not include himself. In determining the application of the golden rule, not only Individuals but aggregations should become active participants." Gary also suggests that "all of us must constantly and conscientiously look into our own hearts and strive to overcome what, it anything, Is wrong." Does he find in his own heart the suggestion that such mammoth profits warrant an increase in the 40c an hour basic wage of the corporation of which he is dictator? Or a reduction in prices of products which affect the price of practically every item in the c"Dst of living Quite the contrary! out of his heart the prj steel magnates once agl ring to raise prices and J" larger profits out Of tl) That ls Gary's idea- rule inside the emplojl but exploitation for 11 isn't waiting for pie in tl KATONAH, N.Y.—(I 50 students from more en industries and trade part in the opening of term pt Brookwood Lab There are several workf| from abroad and two ents on scholarships pj the National Associatio Advancement of Colored| Enthroned Workc Educational LENINGRAD—"The in power, as an organ^ is the natural friend and technical progress,"! viet education commlsiq acharsky, speaking at anniversary of the Aej Sciences ln Leningrad. ■ last two years," he s* state budget grants fori ucational purposes st«j creased and the day is tant whep the increased of the country will ena prove to the world thad except where the tonj been completely emancin possible to develop stf spread educational activil benefit of the masses of pie."

Workers cannot get enough employment to provide a living for themselves, let alone take care of their old folks. The old age pension bill proposes to raise the dole fund by increasing the state income tax %% and adding $2 poll tax on all men and women. Although the pension ls called 'non-contributory," the poll tax makes pension receivers Indirectly pay a part. Deductions for earnings over $150 a year or for incomes under $365 or for property under $3000 are provided to lessen the pension and those old people whose children are able to support them are Ineligible for state aid. The commission figures that 18,000 will receive pensions if the bill goes through. This means that one out of about every 230 people In Massachusetts is over 70 and unable to support himself or be supported by the work of his children. The only other old ags pension bill introduced in the United States was passed by Pennsylvania in 1923 but declared unconstitutional.
