Federated Press STAR correspondent.)
RABAUL, New Guinea, South Pacific
Ocean, July 1S.-Although forbidden
under the league Of nations, white
officials Of the Australian government
administering the mandate over the
ex-German territory of New Guinea,
are forcing native women to co-habit
with them.
Here are specific cases reported 10
The Federated Press by officials in
tho territory:
At Eitape, an oficiai attempted to
rape a young native woman. She
resisted and was flogged. With her
back bleeding profusely she fed to
the hospital. Nothing was done to
the white official.
Forced Prostitution.
At Biligil. a district officer COM
PEELED a native woman, with a child
at her breast to sleep with him for
several days. He than handed her
over to another officer.
At Karbok, a police official saw a
native woman, newly married to a
native chief. The chief was thrown
into jail and his wife defiled and
turned loose. Because she had con-
sorted with a European she became
a prostitute.
The Catholic mission at MarienberE
reported to the commissioner OF ma
tives that It was common for police
officials to capture native women for
immoral purposes. The protests were
IN vain.
In April a white Official was charged
with ordering native women TO be
brought to him. As he had friends
higher up the charge was not pushed.
Captain Thompson, an official OF the
Australian government at Rabaul.
testifies that a native woman'S
breasts were lacerated by q beating
from a white official.
Thrown Out 70 Die.
At Gasmatta native woman was
thrown out OF the hospital to lie

trict officer because she was too
much trouble" A native police boy

the backing of the leading
French financiers and is even
Endorsed now by Poincare, as
shown in the senate vote
authorizing Herriot to go to
London, can be summed up IN
the following provisions:
France Seeks England's Aid
1. Allied guarantees supported by a
German reconstruction and reparation
loan to be floated by American bank
ers must be clearly laid down before
France will begin its gradual evacua'
ton of the territory containing the
heart of industrial Germany. French
Imperialism is anxious to have the
unlimited support Of England to en-
force the Dawes report terms on Ger
many should she later prove recalci-
trant in the face of new conditions.
2. The German Reichstag must lose
no time in passing not only the peces-
sary legal measures for fits unreserved
acceptance Of the Dawes plan, but
must also enact specific declarations
pledging its fullest aid and cc-opera-
ton in setting up the necessary ma
chinery of the Dawes plan and in
keeping this reparations machinery in
good order
3. After the initial payment by Ger
many and after sufficient evidence OF
German good will and sincerity is
shown, then the Belgian and French
forces will start their progressive
withdrawal from the Ruhr.
4. The French military and tech
nical forces are to maintain their con-
troll of the three key railroads run
ming thru the Ruhr and Rhineland.
The ostensible and expressed purpose
of this provision is to assure France
that no German railway strikes will
interfere with the carrying out of the
Dawes plan.
Struggle Of the Bankers
This is a serious point Of dispute.
The British bankers from Lombard
Street are anxious to have the French
capitalists give up their hold on these
railroads, which are of even greater

POLICE SYSTEM
Labor Fights Extension
of Constabulary

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Atrocities
committed by state troopers in labor
disputes are outlined in a summary
just made public by the American
Civil Liberties Union of the state
police systems now in force in seven
teen states. The summary deals
chiefly with the state police "in indus
trial. conflicts where civil rights are
involved" Opposition to the extern
sion OF the state police system comes
from labor organizations, the report
shows, on the grounds that "the troop
ers are almost always used against
the workers and in the interests Of
the employers" Labor organizations
charge that state police are used "in.
variably to break strikes, to evict
strikers from their homes, and to use
strong-arm methods characteristic Of
company gunner"
Official descriptions of state police
outrages during industrial disputes in
New York, Pennsylvania, West vir-
ginia and Colorado are included in the
Unions report. Efforts to establish
state police "along military lines" are
backed by chambers OF commerce,
bankers associations, organizations OF
rich farmers and motor and rotary
clubs, the summary shows.

YOUNG WORKER
Slain BY COP
IN KLUX TOWN
Khan Furnishes Bail to
Policeman Killer
BY BARNEY MASS.

NOPeCidl 20 tnc OAiEr WOhNEHJ
WEST FRANKFORT, ILL.,, July
18.-Boris Popovsky, II, an
active member of the Young
Workers League of West Frank
fort and the Workers Party was
brutalIy slain in the city hall
courtroom here by Policeman
o. P. Bozarth. The latter, ar
rested for murder, is now on
$4,000 bail believed to have
been furnished by the Ku KIux
Khan. The killer is still on the
force.
Popovsky was arrested while
at work. He was driving a
bakery wagon for the Home
Bakery he and his brother
George Popovsky conducted.
The policeman charged him
with driving too fast-an alb
surd charge, citizens Of West
Frankfort say-and brought
him to the City hall building.
Slain in Courtroom.
Popovsky was assaulted in the
courtroom while Justice Grim was
making out the papers in the case.
There were no other witnesses but
from the oficer's own admissions he
got into a bitter argument with his
prisoner when the latter denied that
he had exceeded the speed limit. The
uniformed thug, working himself into
a passion, suddenly brought the butt
end of his heavy revolver down on
Popovsky's head, fracturing his skull.
Popovsky died in the United Mine
Workers Hospital
Justice Runs Away.
A significant incident in the affair
is the disappearance of Justice Grim
shortly after the assault in his court
room. Members of the United Mine
Workers are demanding that Grim be
brought back into town and forced
to tell what he knows. The murdered
youth was an active unionist.
West Frankfort is one of the Illinois
towns where the Ku Klux Khan has
carried on it's campaign Of terrorism
against union men and particularly
those of foreign birth.
ku klux Terrorism.
Only few years back the town
established it's 100 per cent American
attitude by running out and killing
all the foreigners in the town. A
foreigner living there in that time,
took his life in his own hands. Glenn
Young has been removed by Bob
Evans, of equal fame, as the X. K. K.
organizer in that territory, and we
can still see murderous activity OF
the X. X. K. prevail in Williamson
county.
The killing of Popovsky should set
into action the miners in that vicinity
in protest against the high-handed tao
tics Of the K. X. X. police in West
Frankfort and his removal should i'm
mediately be demanded. The politics
of that section should be cleaned out
and the basis of this has been laid
by the last act in the chain Of organ
lied murder. Lets clean out these 100
percenters and place in their stead
the miners who are entitled to con-
troll their own destinies.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.-Men's
clothing manufacturers in the Phila-

advantage of the slow season by cut
ting wages and frightening hours of
work. In unorganized shops the boss

But in the organized shops the Anal

gathered its strength and blocked the
bosses.
Militant strikes are being carried
on by the union against two Of the
large shops, ]. Braunstein and S.

against the former because one of
their number was discharged with

NOT GUILTY is
PLEA OF NEGROES
Four Arrested for Semon Burglary
Are Arraigned in Superior
Court in Prosser

Cecil Munson, Joe E. Barry, Chas.
Brown and Logan Slaughter, the four
negroes arrested last week for the
robbery of Semon's store November
20, were arraigned before Superior
Judge John Truax yesterday.
The quartet plead not guilty and
declared their intention to stand trial
at the next jury term which convenes
December IL. They informed the
Court that they have not as yet en-
gagged counsel but expect to do so.
Munson claims to have found the
goods stolen from Semon's store in
a barn near Kennewick and in en-
tering his plea he said: II wants it
understood that I'm guilty of having
these particular goods in NAH posses
sion but am not guilty of breaking
into that individual store"
The report given out earlier IN
the week that Barry had confessed
the crime is denied by the Yakima
and Benton county sheriff offices.

dan is almost total wreck as the
result of an accident last evening on
the Kennewick- Plymouth road about
six miles from this city.

reached Kennewieks when his car
blew fuse and he accepted q tow.
AT a place where the road crosses
gully on high fill, the tow rope
broke and Mr.. Spuibb's car backed
over a 50-foot embankment. AS he
felt the hind wheels leaving the grade
Mr.. Squibb jumped free of the car
and escaped injury In the darkness

know he had lost the Chevrolet until
he had proceeded a mile.
The wrecked car was brought to
Kennewick this afternoon by the E.
c. Smith Motor company. Two
wheels were smashed and the body
shattered beyond repair.
