"Big Powers" Can't
See China Friendly
with Soviet Russia

PEKING, July 21.-Foreign diplo-
mats, acting for their capitalist gov.
ernments, which have from the very
outset interfered with Russo-C Chinese
are still bringing pressure
to bear to complicate these relations.
This was made especially evident in
the matter of transfer of the Russian
Legation.
This pressure and the work Of the
diplomatic corps directed against the
Russo-Chinese relations, were partic-
ularly intensified after the represen-
tatives of the foreign powers heard of
the proposition made to China by the
Soviet government to exchange am.
bassadors. Everything was then done
in order not to let the Chinese govern
ment agree to this proposition from
Moscow, altho the Chinese govern
ment had long since wished to ex-
change ambassadors. The "big pow
ers" granted only Ministers to China.

EMPIRE
STEEL KILLS 4
MORE MINERS
Refusal to Make Any
Repairs Cost Lives
BY BARBARA FENINesToN
For The Federated Press.

STELLARTON, Nova Scotia, July
21.-Investigation has failed to fix any
responsibility for the explosion which
cost the lives of four men in the Allan
mine shaft of the Acadia Coal Co. at
Stellarton last June. Miners who have
worked for years in the Acadia mine
charge that the cause was cheap
production" Repeated requests for
the repairs went unheeded. The Brit
ish Empire Steel Corp. owns the
Acadia Coal Co.
The four men died of after-damp,
1900 feet below the surface where
they had been working. Their seven
companions were brought to the sur
face unconscious but were revived.
One of their number Immediately
upon noticing the smoke broke the
pipe conveying the compressed air
which drives the pumps and other
machinery giving them a supply Of
air.
The Acadia mine has been the scene
Of many similar disasters since 1880.
In that year, as men lost their lives
in the old Foord pit explosion. In 1914
six men met death in food and fire.
In 1918 disastrous explosion in the
Allan shaft cost SO lives.
This terrible toll of human life is
significant of the policy Of the British
Empire Steel Corp, Familiarity known
as Besco. 1t controls practically all
the coal area of Nova Scotia in addi-
ton to steel plants and iron mines
and in which it maintains low wages
and hard conditions. For years it has
bitterly fought organized labor.

that Grant was guilty.

MUSSOLINI PLOTS

NUMBERING GANG
Matteotti's SIayers VIII
Escape Yet
tspeeIaI to the DaIIy workers.

ROME, Italy, July 21-The Fascist
paper LImpero, and the Catholic
newspaper, Populo, have been sup
pressed by Mussolini. The former
was charged with having foreign sup
port and the latter was struck because
it had promised revelations against
the Fascist government
A Milan journalist was approached
by certain Fascist, apparently de-
handing that he publish erroneous &C
counts that Matteotti, the murdered
socialist deputy, had been seen alive
recently, as reported from Paris. The
man hesitated and was taken out of
town to a wooded place, where a
group of Fascist, were discussing the
situation and Farinacci's and Giunta's
statements that the accused murder
ers of Matteotti were to be released.
Paris Dispatch Faxed.
Giunta has been secretary of the
Fascist party and is a deputy. He
asserted that yolpi, Dumini, Flip
pelli, Rossi and the rest of the Grim
inal Fascist who have been involved,
not only in the murder of the socialist
deputy, but in countless other crimes
of violence and graft, would not be
held any longer.
Anti-Fascists here look upon the
Paris dispatch that Matteotti had been
seen there in recent days as a cheap
ruse to attempt to justify the impend-
ing release Of the murderers. Musso-
lini is still greatly annoyed by the
increasing opposition against him and
against the Fascist in spite of all his
repressive measures and his pretense
to the outside world that "all's right"
while he sits with the king.
Mussollni Wants Them Out.
Mussolini is too intimately connect.
ed with the murderers himself, altho
he has repudiated them and removed
their obviously suspected ASSOCIATES
from office, to allow the men to be tried
now while the country is in such an
uncertain temper. There are too
many people who know Mussolini's
own part. as director of Fascist
crimes and who will implicate him at
the first opportunity, and Mussolini
knows this. In spite of it, he has been
scheming in every possible way to re.
lease the men held for Matteotti's
murder, and it is not unlikely that he
will yet allow them to escape thru
some loophole, either in the prison
wall or in the evidence against them
If they are actually brought to trial.
