Defense Secretary Nails
Hoof-Mouth Lie

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 90
Assistant United States District At
torney Fink announced today that
there will be a general roundup of L.
w. WIS in Washington, California,
Arizona and Idaho by the Department
of Justice.
They will be prosecuted under a Sec
ton of the Sherman Antitrust law
for alleged spreading of the hoof and
mouth disease, blats Stones under
ling.
Lie" Says Defense Secretary.
When Jim Morris, secretary Of the
/. w. w. general defense committee
at 1901 w. Madison street, Chicago,
was told of the statement of Fink he
characterized it as "a barefaced lie"
Morris pointed out that scientists
had failed to isolate the germ of the
hoof and mouth disease and it was OBJ
viously impossible for anyone to
spread the disease deliberately under
the circumstances.
The L w. w. has warned workers
and others to keep away from Cali
fornia because it is said that the hoof
and mouth disease is transferable to
humans. Workers have also been ia
booing California products because of
the falling of more than a hundred
union men under the criminal syndi-
calism law. This action must have
been effective if the government was
forced to make a fool Of itself by
charges of that sort" L w. WIS said
yesterday.
because the syndicalism law has
failed to stop our organization work
among the workers of California the
big lumber and shipping interests are
forcing the government to try and
stop us in another way This latest
stunt will fall flat as the criminal
syndicalism law did," Morris said.

MEXICO CITY, June 20.-"The
Mexican creole is not worth very
much, but thirteen million Mexicans
are Indian, good strong people, that
would make worthwhile our taking
over Mexico" This was a statement
made to me this morning by a mem
Der Of the American Chamber of Com
merce down here at present. That
is their eternal attitude. Until we take
Mexico the country will not amount
to anything, nor will the people
amount to a row of pins. When will
the imperialist yankee get wise to his
own stupidity and stop measuring
human values in dollars and cents?

cist secretary of the interior until
last week, has been the foremost
figure in the graft charges, which are
more overwhelming than the Teapot
Dome scandal Of the United States
The fascist parliamentary executive
committee turned down a resolution
of support to Sig. Finzi and he will
undoubtedly follow his former press
bureau head, Cesare Rossi, and other
involved fascist leaders who thot
quickly, in fleeing the country.
Standard Oil Again.
Sig. Finzi was head of Italian avia-
ton and helped Standard Oil of
America make its 100000 900 lire
profits from Italy last year.
Sig. Finzi negotiated, with the aid
Of the Rockefeller company, the ire
mendous oil concession which was
about to be given to Harry F. Sin
clair's Consolidated Oil Tin which
Standard holds much stock when
the present storm broke, hurried by
this very deal.
Finzi first declared gambling in
Italy would be stopped, and at the
same time he received some millions
Of lire from Monte Carlo and other
French and Swiss gamblers. Later
he allowed the Italian gamblers full
play and it was said that he was well
repaid by them.
Deputy Matteoti had the facts on
much of the big grating by fascist
officials and because he intended to
show them up, he was killed. The
outcome of the resulting situation is
altogether doubtful, but the tremen-
dous protest against fascist crime and
graft seems to be sweeping the coun-
try further toward proletarian rev.
olution.

NLABOR ISSUES
Demands Smashing of

Especial to The Daily worker)

Especial to The Daily Worker.)
ST. PAUL, June 20. - Nine resolu-
tions were presented to the platform
committee and all but one adopted.
First was a resolution condemning the
imperialist war preparations now go
ing on. The resolution spoke of the
japanese exclusion law as passed as
war-making measure. Duncan Mac
Donald objected to this statement be-
cause he felt a large portion Of or
ganized labor favored the law, and
because the big capitalist powers are
opposed to it.
In this connection Delegate Ryan
of Tacoma, Wash, said he knew Al
bert Johnson, the Trainer of the ex-
clusion law, and that he was an anti
labor man and always had been. Be-
cause of the Japanese provision, the
resolution was referred to a sub-com-
mittee.
No Child Labor.
A resolution prohibiting child labor
under 16 years Of age was carried,
but one providing that a six-hour day
and a five-day week be enforced for
all workers under 81 years of age was
defeated because a similar provision
was made in the platform.
Two resolutions dealt with special
legislation for women. One provided
for the enactment Of laws regulating
industry in regard to the exploitation
of women, and one called for polit-
ical, social and economic equality for
their sex. There was considerable
discussion of the last, and it was re-
ferred to the subcommittee.
Release "PoIlticaIs."
Since the pay of postal employees
has not been raised, the committee
adopted a resolution to resist the pro-
posed increase in parcel post rates, to
be made on the pretext of increased
cost in operating the post office.
The Esch-Cummins law was con-
demned, and the Howell-Barkley bill
supported in the resolution on rail-
road legislation.
The repeal of all criminal syndical-
ism laws, and the release of all pris-
oners convicted under them, and under
the espionage act was demanded in
another resolution referred to the sub
committee for application.
