Comes the ‘bust’

LONDON—Skyrocketing prices
in the U.S. are leading toward
another depression which, like
that’ of 1929, will cause disaster
in Britain and other countries
whose economies are closely lmk-
ed to that of the U.S., the Finan-
cial Times, British counterpart of
Wall Street Journal, warned this
week. -

- You see the answer.

“How many of you longshoremen have ever been injured on the job?” Pres. G. Bulcke of Local 6,

IntL Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union (CIOQ) asked these 5,000 San Francisco dockers, ~

And the solution; unionization, decent Wages and hours, elimination of the
Speed-up and the enforcement (by the union) of safety regulations. -

However, it would be interest-

intelligent reason why these ap-

demand was supplied the re-
mainder could be exported *to

people are actually starving and
dying for lack of fruit and vege—

this question for now, as the
apples have already dropped for

this year and nothing can be
done about it.

An entire issue of the Pacific
Tribune would not be big enough
to expose all the difficulties of
the interior farmers. The potato
Scandal is’ now common knowl-
edge. The top price to farmers
last year for early potatoes was
$58 per ton. This year, with ex
penses Much higher, the price to
the farmer is $27.80 per ton,
but the city worker stil pays
the old price. The price of onions
is down to $60.00 per ton, mucn
below last year.

against one another; thus con-
trolling both.

Aberhart with his Phony “stroke

lowed by the farmers of Saskat-

join them,
All legitimate labor oerganiza-

tions will support them and we
will squeeze out a whole host of
parasites who stand between la-
bor and the farmers — between
primary producer and consumer:

We can only welcome the mili-
tancy of the farmers, pledge them
Our support and say “more power
to you.” Your fight is our fight.

Trieste unions
vote for unity —

es.

TRIESTE—Trieste trade unions,
formerly split over whether ! their
area should be incorporated into
italy or Yugoslavia, have agreed
to merge into one body.

fhe decision came after a meet-
ing of the pro-Yugoslay. United
Syndicates, composed largely of
industrial workers, and the pro-

italian Chamber of Labor; em-

bracing mainly white collar j;work-
ers. The meeting was sponsored
by the World Federation of ‘Trade
Unions. Both trade union groups
agreed that American and Brit-
ish troops should be withdrawn
and that the people of Trieste
should be allowed to rule them-
selves democratically.

The Paris Peace Conference de-
Cided that Trieste proper should
be a free territory under 4 United
Nations gevernor, but a dispute
arose when Britain and the U.S.
insisted that the governor be em-
powered to keep U.S. ana Brit-
ish troops here and te overrule
the local population. The Soviet
Union opposes these broad pow-
ers,
