POSTAL CLERKS
WANT WAGE BILL
PASSED AT ONCE
No Excuse for Delay,
Union Head Says

A fight is being waged in the SEN
ate against 100000 postal employees,
who are virtually disfranchised by
their civil service status, David w.
Johnson, chairman of the resolutions
committee of the Chicago postoffice
clerks. local union No. 1, charges in
an open letter to Senator William B.
Mckinley.
There is no fight being made
against the president; the fight is
being made against the postal en-
ployes," Johnson states. 1T is un-
precedented. There is no record in
the history of congress that can be
compared with it. This fight is be-
ing made against defenseless body
Of employees virtually disfranchised by
their civil service status"
The postal employees believe that
there is no excuse for the senate de-
laying the passage of the bill, accord
ing to johnson. THE general opin-
ion OF the postal employees is that,
according to all previous parliament
airy rules and legitimate practices Of
the senate, this bill should have been
passed within at least four days af-
ter congress convened" the Chicago
postal clerks official writes. "How-
ever, since it was not, there should
be showdown. Since the economic
situation has not improved any, we
believe the senators will vote for
the bill, II they are relieved of the
obstructive tactics and given an OPP
portunity to register their will"
The obstructive tactics referred to
by Johnson are being carried on I'M
der the direction Of President Cool
idge, altho Johnson seemed to lack
the courage to directly place the re-
sponsibility upon the Coolidge adj
ministration. Coolidge has induced
Senator Sterling to confuse matters
by bringing in a dual bill, raising
postal rates on newspapers, which
has no chance of passing. Coolidge
is trying to forestall the passage Of
the postal bill over his veto of the
Tage increase passed by the last con-
gress.

JAPANESE DIPLOMAT
ASKS SOFT PEDAL ON
Immigration BUNK
Especial to The Daily wOrksrl

TOXIC. Dec. 30-In an interview
today with Japanese newspapermen.
foreign minister Shidehara advised
Japanese newspapers not to stir up
questions over the United States
Pacific naval maneuvers and the i'm
migration law.
He declared such agitation was
detrimental TO international relations
and likely to have an unhappy out
come.
The foreign minister declared that
Great Britain's Singapore naval base
project was not intended as a menace
to Japan The newspapermen were
petite. but accepted this statement with
sly smiles
Discussing the immigration ban,
Shidehara said Japan had never been
informed that the United States con-
siders the immigration question a
closed incident. He declared that he
believed the exclusion law was a
blunder and thinks that America will
some day recognize 1t as such and
rectify the error.
In the meantime he warned the ia
panese newspapers, Japan cannot force
the United States to rescind the ban.

FASCIST PARTY

Liberal Ministers Have

NoPoCldt TO inc Oalty Workery
ROME. Italy, Dec. SO.-The extrem
lists in the fascist party have sent
statement to Premier Mussolini, warn.
ing him that if he shows signs Of
weakness they will act against him.
The movement to replace Mussolini
as leader of the fascist party, anil eIe.
vate Deputy Farinacci to that position
is growing. The extreme fascists are
opposed to the calling of new cleo
ton, fearing defeat.
The "Cremona Nuova," fascist or
gan, has openly declared that Farinac-
CT must be made the leader Of their
party, which they declare must be re-
organized if defeat is to be averted
The opposition accuses King Eman.
uel of being an accomplice Of the
fascist government, charging that the
king is not using his influence to
bring the fascist accused of violence
into the courts.
The Rossi memorandum, accusing
Mussolini of being the inspirer of the
murder of Matteoti and attacks on
other deputies, has gravely compro-
missed Mussolini's regime. The senti-
ment for Mussolini's resignation is
growing, and even a large portion of
the fascist party believe Mussolinir
early resignation is inevitable.
The council of cabinet ministers
was urgently convoked yesterday af

moned, it was stated, to discuss the
designations of the liberal ministers

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. SO.-The
power trust organized around the Gen
eral Electric and the Westinghouse
companies, is sponsoring the Under

Shoals over to these private interests,
senate debate disclosed yesterday.
The "insurgent" bloc, however, has
sigEified its willingness to accept the

Senator Norris government ownership

bill. The Jones bill would put the
matter Of Muscle Shoals before a com
mittee of three, which would not be
required to bring in recommends.

Senator Norris has introduced q
trust busting resolution in the senate
which cites "rumors" that power
trust is in existence, (which who'll

lions Of water companies, large manu-.
featuring and industrial corporations,

Speaking on the Norris resolution
which demands an investigation by

Ashurst Of Arizona, declared, "A gi-
gantic monopoly that can extend its
tentacles everywhere and crush the
substance from out the people, crush
out their very life. has sprung up in
our midst If we wait until fines and
threats of Imprisonment restrain mo-

Ashurst advised that the govern

the fact that the large monopolies
control the government.

COMMONS TELL
BALDWIN mind

Declare independence
from British Interference
Especial to The Daily worker)

NOFN~'at
LONDON, England, Dec. 29.-The
dominions of the British Empire have
informed the British colonial office
here that their parliaments are quite
capable of handling their own affairs
and that they will not send their
premiers to London to confer over
policies of the empire.
The replies of Canada, Australia and
South Africa to Secretary Emery, re-
fusing the invitation to attend a con-
ference in March to discuss the en-
pire's policy toward the Geneva dis
armament protocol, is virtual de-
claration of complete independence.
The dominions declare that their
parliaments are capable Of settling
these matters. They have their own
opinion of the Geneva protocol and
do not intend to take advice from
Great Britain. The dominions see
in the British protest against the re-
gistration of the Anglo-Irish treaty
with the league of nations an attempt
Of the Baldwin government to curtail
their independence.

at as early a date as possible The
machinery Of International exchange
has already started to move In this
direction by the emphatic warning
that emanated from the state depart
ment yesterday that this government
will not tolerate nor listen to any
talk of cancellation.
Members Of the debt funding COM
mission have been prepared for some
thing Of the sort, 1t was disclosed to-
day, ever since the Parmentier debt
commission came to the United
States two years ago. M. Parmentier
came ostensibly to discuss settle
ment," yet he politely and firmly re-
jected every overture made by Ameri-
can officials, anxious for any kind Of
settlement, and returned to France
leaving only wonderment behind in
Washington as to why he had come.
100 Years Not Enough TImsI
In this connection, it was revealed
today for the first time that when M.
Parmentier was here, members Of
the American debt commission asked
him to take back to Paris a settle
ment providing for ten year mora
forum, and payments to be stretched
over a period of 100 years, with a
rate of interest approximating that
paid by the British in their settle
ment.
Parmentier replied to the offer by
stating that his government had not
authorized" him to receive or trans
NIT any such concrete proposition.
The same proposition M. Parmen-
tier rejected was also preached to M.
Jusserand, It was learned today, and
the ambassador replied: when the
time comes to take up ths question
Of paying the debt my government
will send a commission here"
