GERMAN FLUTES
WIN E And DINE
CORRESPONDENTS
Then Beg Writers for
Sympathy
By LOUIS P. LocHNER.

| (StaR Correspondent Of The Federated Press)
BERLIN, March 31.-The incredi-
bic thing has happened, The junkers
of Germany, the big 1andholders,
who have been holding their annual
convention in Berlin these days, in
vited the foreign correspondents es-
pecially from the United States,
Great Britain and Holland, to a tea
at which they solicited the sympathy
of the outside world for their stu
alton, which they describe as desper-
ate.
To understand this maneuver one
musS remember that these are the
simon-pure 100 per cent nationalist
who only half year ago disdained
asking for foreign publicity. Ger
many for the Germans" was their
motto; they had no use for foreign
ers, Jews, or for any policy Of in
ternatEonal understanding.
Wined, Dined Scribes.
The reason for now calling in for
eign correspondents, who were re-
called with delicious pork and
ham and egg sandwiches, expensive
liquors and genuine tea and coffee
while being harangued on the grave
distress of our fatherland," was evil
IDENTIFY to solicit foreign credits, to
complain of the labor policy, and 10
mamtsin that the latest taxes upon
the big agrarian estates were pro-
hibitive.
The big landlords want foreign
credits thru the rentenbank, but
complain that they must pay too
much into that rentenbank since the
6 per cent mortgage levied upon
their property is based on the pre-
war assessments. An inquisitive Bril-
fish correspondent interposed, how
ever, to say that the junkers were
not telling how their fixed property
had increased in value during the in
hation period.
s-HOur Day Got Their Goat.
The junkers are furious because
the farm workers secured the eight
hour day during the revolution and
got rid of feudahsm.
The biggest squeal emitted by
the junkers was taxes. BY erecting
houses, barns and other improve
ments which increased the value of
TIER estates tremendously, they es-
capped paying taxes on a large part
OF their fortunes, while the city wage
Garner and the government Official
had his income tax deducted regu-
larly every payday. The new taxes
under the state-of- emergency law
will if drastically administered.

Peace League Gaze
Wilson Some Points,
Says Jane adams

NEW YORK, March 31.-The fact
that the Women's international
League for Peace and Freedom gave
wilson a few ideas for his hypo-
critical IA points was the outstand-
ing feature in the Jane Addan's
speech to several hundred members
at 80 Park Ave.
Miss Adams recounted the work
OF the League during and after the
World War. She had practically
nothing to. point to except a few local
attempts by the league to ease the
execution Of the onerous peace
treaties. Her program for the future
was disappointing. Despite her repu-
tation as a pacifst, she omitted all
reference to a program for stopping
the next war or for removing the
deepseated causes of war. Her avowed
purpose went no further than the
creation of an atmosphere of good
feeling which might put off the war
of tomorrow until the day, after to-
morrow. Attic there were many
wealthy people in the audience, the
chair could not raise the proposed
sum Of $1,000. This money is to help
defray the expenses Of foreign dele
gates to the fourth biennial confer
ence of the league TO be held in Wash
ington during the week Of May /.
In the evening there was a public
meeting at Mrs. Sargent Grams
Peace House, 109th st. and 5th Ave.
Two German Women delegates from
Munich spoke. They emphasized the
uselessness of violence in the class
war and urged the workingmen to be
"heroic" and submit. Miss Adams
also spoke. Half the audience of
several hundred got Up and left at
the beginning of the collection.
It was stated the Nine. Kollontay
had been interested in having the
women in Soviet Russia send a dele
gate to present their viewpoint on
peace to the International conferences
at Washington.

Chicago Densest Population.
The menace of these old houses,
built before even the present made
quate housing laws were passed,
moved to the back of the lot to make
room for a newer mouse, or another
old one in front, is one of the most
glazing Of Chicago's housing evils.
Even in New York, the municipal
government would not allow the
profiteering landlords to get away
with such an obvious crime as this.
Chicago, unlike New York, is a city
of 2, 8, and 5-story tenements.
In proportion to the height Of the
buildings, Chicago has the densest
and most overcrowded population in
America.
Add to this overcrowding, the
many tenements fronting on alleys,
and the age Of the houses-very
many of them being over forty year
old-and it is seen why Chicago has
the reputation, among even the
most superficial social investigators,
of being the unkindest and cruelest
in housing its working population.

Pennsylvania Rail
Workers Hit by a

Workers engaged in the manufac-

Pennsylvania have been hit by a
SUGGESTIONS of layoffs, according to
the monthly employment reports Of
the federal reserve bank of Phila-
delphia. Reductions in force be-
tween January and February
amounting to 1873 per cent followed
a layof Of over one-third of the
forces between December and jan
uary. Altogether since October the
number employed in these estab-
ishments has been reduced by one
half.
The February report covering all
manufacturing in the state shows
employment for that month tagging
far behind thS normal seasonal gain
Employers added less than / per
cent to their working forces and the
total number employed was still 2.5
per cent below the December level.
An increase of 6 per cent in the
total amount paid each week in
wages is considered the most hopeful
feature of the report because it
indicates that some of the indus
tries were resuming fuller operating
schedules.

MASSACRE OF
HINDOO REBELS
is PROTESTED
Lansbury Denounces the
Jaito Killing
lspseI.I 70 rhs palIy wort.r,

LONDON, March 31.-A big de-
monstration in Bombay, of persons
applying for relief and protesting
against the inaction Of the British
Labor" government in face of the
strike of 10000 cotton-mill work
ers, has been reported here. Pitiable
scenes Of starvation and distress are
being enacted, and over ffty-thou-
sand workers have fed from Bombay
in their quest for food.
Mr.. Lansbury called to the atten-
tion of the Under Secretary for In
dia, Professor Richards, that the gov
eminent should meet representatives
of India to discuss how more self
government might be given them,
and 50 preserve the peace of India.
Mr.. Lansbury protested against the
massacre at Jaito, where 81 persons
were killed and 33 wounded, when
police and soldiers fired into crowds.
Many more are now in prison.
Attack Macdonald Imperialist.
The Under-Secretary replied that
the Government was full of sympa-
thy for the ultimate ideal of self
government for India, but it is diff
cult to keep the peace among differ
ent religious sects. We are attempt
ing to settle these difficulties by set
ting up joint board"
The Communist Party of Great
Britain, backed by thousands of
workers who realize that the indus
tries of India are British owned and
British controlled, has issued this
proclamation to the workers of In
dia: Workers and peasants of India:
The British Communist Workers hold
out their hands to you in comrade-
ship and declare: Do not mistake the
countenances of a Haldane or an
Olivier for the British working class.
Our struggle and your struggle is
one against the bloody British mill
tarists and imperialists. The British
Communist Party, which is winning
to its influence larger and larger Sec
tions of the British working class,
stands for the complete liberation of
the Independent Workers and Peas
ants Republic Of India"
Workers Protest Massacre.
Large numbers Of British workers
are protesting against the Jaito mas
sacre and the earlier Macdonald mes
sage threatening the Indian forces of
revolt, which they point out, was a
brandishing Of the sword of conquest
which was triumphantly acclaimed by
Mussolini.
Olivier, the autocratic secretary
for India, in the Macdonald govern
ment, has now closed the doors on
even the mild proposal Of round
table conference, proclaiming instead
the fright Of the British to rule In
dia."
Macdonald has broken his Janu-
airy pledge to India that mo party
in Great Britain will be cowed by
threats of force; and if any sections
in India are under that delusion that
this is not so, events will very sadly
disappoint him." One month after
making this pledge, came the great
massacre of unarmed Indians at
Jaito, and for that reason, the mill
tant laborites are withdrawing sup
port from the Macdonald govern
ment.

Impeachment for

Friend of Walton

BY ERNEST r. CHAMBERLAIN.
(StaR Correspondent of The Federated Press)
OKLAHOMA CITY, March 81
Oklahoma's extraordinary session of
the Legislature has adjourned but
the senate still sits as a court Of
impeachment in the case of John
Whitehurst, president, state board Of
agriculture. Departure Of Fred Par
kinson, state examiner and inspec-
tor, for California on "offlcial bust
ness" at time when he was to be
called to testify as to an alleged
shortage of $4,000 at the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College, has
thrown a monkey wrench temporar-
lily into the proceedings. White
hurst as chairman Of the college
board is charged with knowledge
and with failure to have q report of
it published for several years.
Whitehurst was a bosom friend
of Gov. Jack Walton until Walton's
farmer-labor support forced the APP
pointment Of George Wilson to the
college. Whitehurst then turned on
Wilson and Walton was forced, this
time by the other crowd to fire Will
son as an alleged red from college.
But Wilson was at the college
long enough to learn something Of
the sad state Of its past conduct.
With leads thus obtained Wilson
and former associates Of Whitehurst
have brought Whitehurst to trial.

NeIO POincGre Cabinet
Decides to Continue
MiLitGrist POLicy

PARIS, March 31.-"Continuance
Of previous foreign and domestic
policies" was decided upon today by
the new French cabinet at its first
meeting.
Premier Poincare's ministry held
cabinet council at the Quai D. Orsay
to discuss drafting of the Ministerial
Declaration which the Premier will
make before the chambers Monday.
Selection of a cabinet which is a
coalition, including leaders 81 the
left, is considered clever piece of
political maneuvering on the part of
Poincare in view Of the approaching
elections which will be held in May.
The premier brings under his hand
elements which would otherwise
have opposed the bloc national and,
in the opinion of political observers,
assures his own reelection.
Moreover, three of the new minis
ters opposed and criticized the pre-
vious governments fiscal measures.
They now are charged with enforc-
ing them.
Considerable criticism is levelled
against the new cabinet, however, by
the press, except those papers that
are subsidized by the Comite Des
FORCES.

MAC DONALD IN
CRISIS OVER HIS
BLACKLEG PLAN
Strikebreaking Threat
Is Resented
tsp.sI.l !. nj. paIIy work.rl

LONDON, March 31.-The Labor
government Of Great Britain is
faced with a serious crisis today,
following the decidedly hostile re-
ception accorded by organized labor
to the strike-brealxing activities Of
the Macdonald government
Premier Macdonald, faced with a
street car strike, the sympathetic
strike Of the bus workers, and the
threatened walkout Of the subway
workers, instead Of backing up the
workers which he is supposed to
represent, publicly declared his
plans to maintain as far as he could,
the traffic Of the city.
Cabinet Strikebreakers.
AS q result, Premier Macdonald
and his cabinet, regardless Of the
outcome Of the present traction
strikes, is exposed to the workers
as a tool of the capitalists, even 60
ing to the extreme of threatening
to call out the military forces to
break the strikes. Workers in all
trades are today rerouncing the
Labor" government as strike
breaking agency which has betrayed
labor.
The present crisis follows on the
heels of the action Of the miners
couple of days ago, in forcing Mac
Donald against his will to introduce
a miners minimum wage bill into
parliament. Premier Macdonald, at
that time, lost much of his labor
support when he tried TO dodge the
miners demand by saying that the
bill could not pass at any rate. be-
cause it would be opposed by the
liberals as we'll as the tories.
The miners, however, forced their
pseudo-leader to yield, declaring
that the Labor government is
there to pass labor legislation, and
if it can't do that it might as well
quit"
Opposition Growing.
In the face of the growing oppo-
sition to him within the ranks Of
organized labor, Premier Macdonald
is making frantic efforts to settle
the various strikes that are coming
upon him one after the other. To-
day Monday the striking street
car workers will ballot on whether
or not to accept the final compro-
mise agreed to by representatives
Of the employers and the strikers,
last week. The bus workers, who
were striking in sympathy with the
traction employees, will not ballot,
but will await the decision of the
traction workers.
But no matter what the outcome
Of the present traction strike, it is
evident that, due to MacDonald's
betrayal of his supporters, an in
creasing number Of Laborites will
voice their opposition by voting in
their councils, against his govern
ment.

The K00ker Plant

Lambertville Extensive improve
ments are being made at the plant
of the Hooker Sausage Go. in the
rear Of 6 Coryell street. Recently
the barn adjoining their property
was purchased from J. p. Martin
and overhauled for use as stable
and garage. The structure was rails
ed and concrete foundation placed
under the walls, making substan-
tial building.
Along the canal tow path border
ing their property stone wall Of
$50 feet has been built. At one end
of this garage building has been
constructed of concrete blocks, pro-
viding space for eight cars. The
lower end Of the wall comprises eel
lar foundations in which windows
have been set. This provides for the
extension Of the plant itself when
future demand for room makes it
necessary to build out to the line.
This is decided improvement to
the appearance of the property, and
completes the line Of stone wall be-
ginning at the upper end Of the Van
Horn garages.

Main street. 1t is beautiful location
between the canal and the river,
and if the home is as beautiful
as the paintings Mr. Folnsbec has
