STRIKE ON ALL

A general strike on western rail

Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen is posi-
bility as a result of the strike vote Of
the two organizations in progress on
the western lines of the Southern Pa
Icific.
That the membership Of these two
unions is extremely dissatisfied with
the prolonged wage negotiations and
the arbitrary attitude of the railway
labor board, which has so far pre-
vented the per cent increase de-
manded is evidenced by the fact thai
this is the first strike vote taken by
these unions since 1916 when they
forced the passage Of the Adamson
law by similar pressure.
A general strike would affect ap
proximately 10000 engineers. flremen
and hostlers and cripple traffic on
ninety western railroads.
The unions involved are among the
most conservative in the American
labor movement and their action
means that among all classes OF rail.

resentment aroused by the labor

COMMUNISTS OF
FRANCE IN Big
IAURES March
German Workers Honor
French Rebel
Especial to The Daily workorJ


PARIS, Nov. 27.-The great
Communist demonstration in
Paris last Sunday on the oc-
casion of the ceremonies for
Jean Jaures resulted in a severe
attack on Premier Herriot by
reactionary deputies for allow
ing the Communists to stage
what the deputies described as
"red saturnalia."
Deputy Tattinger, who raised
the protest, declared that Gen
eral Nollet, minister of war, was
obliged to fee in order to es-
cape the Communists.
The chamber by a vote Of 31S to
1876 upheld Herriot, who warned the
deputies that an adverse vote would
be taken as an indication Of no con
fidenCe in the government.
The Jaures ceremonies brot out a
tremendous outpouring Of workers
The bourgeoisie used the occasion to
ingratiate themselves with the masses
by posing as admirers Of the great
French rebel. Herriot delivered a
long eulogy of Jaures in which he
stressed the dead leaders patriotism
and his love of France. While Herriot
was speaking the Communists kept on
singing the international"
Jaures, long a leader Of the socialist
party Of France, was killed by an as
sassin on the eve Of the great war
His murderer was never punished
Today the French bourgeoisie have
placed the remains Of the socialist
leader in the Pantheon. The living
socialists have made peace with the
enemy, so it is no harm to pay an
empty honor to one Of their dead, who
with all his weak points was rebel
by nature.
About $4,000 Communists and ap-
proximateIy $4,000 socialists marched
in the procession of demonstration
The Communists carried banners with
Inscriptions urging a vigorous prose
cution of the class war against CAPT
talism. The socialists had feeble slo-
gans praising peace.
German Communist Delegates.
One Of the most striking features OF
the great demonstration was the Ger
man Communist delegation headed by
two little girls carrying branches OF
holly, to which were attached ribbons
Inserted: "To Jaures in memory Of
Liebknecht;" and "To Jaures in
memory of Rosa Luxembourg"
A Communist column with a forest
Of bright red flags, all topped with
the bronze Soviet emblem = the
crossed hammer and scythe-came on
The Communist column took one hour
and half to pass given point and
was continually cheered by the spec
tators. Its band played the Inter
national" and the marchers raised the
slogans of Down with war" and
Long Live the Soviets." One in
scription on the banner read Rather
the revolution than war"

French Are Cautious.

PARIS, Nov. 27.-while the French
government has apparently decided
not to interfere openly at this time
with Great Britain's attack on the
sovereignty of Egypt, the press con-
tinues to denounce the British govern
ment's action as most unwarranted.
1t was at first thot likely that Her
riot would bring the matter before
the league Of nations, but that organ
ization is now in such battered con-
dition that II is doubtful whether II
will ever again recover from the blow
dealt it by the tory government.
An Old Agreement.
In the year 1904, the French and
British governments reached an &C
cord on their so-called rights in AT
RIGA. It is not expected however that
French reluctance TO block British ex
pansion In Egypt is dictated by re
spect for a twenty-four year old pact
