not stop have their cars reported by

NEW YORK-(FP)-Union labor
won a victory over the city admins
tration that is expected. to bring in
creased pay to hundreds of mechan-
les when the municipal court ordered
the department of plants and struc-
lures to give $476.75 back pay to
Peter Peterson, painter, the differ
ence between the $3.50 per day he
had been getting and the $40 and
$1,000 that union painters received
during the same period. Peterson's
case was test case that will affect
200 other city painters and hundreds
of other mechanics whom the city
has been paying less than the union
rate.
The law unequivocally provides for
wages at the prevailing rate, and the
evidence showed that the prevailing
rate was from $40 to $1,000 during the
time involved. The prevailing rate
is the union rate, the court ruled in
the trade in New York City. Many
master painters testified as to the
$40 and 5000 scales and when the
corporation counsel argued that some
firms were paying only $3.50 the
court ruled that since only a minority
of firms had this lower and openshop
rate it could not be defended as the

WASHINGTON FP)-No attempt
will be made TO send a mission to
Latin American countries to arouse
interest in trade unionism, but in
stead there will be an effort through
letters and other appeals to induce
labor unions in Latin America to con-

such an undertaking. This decision
was reached at the meetings of the
executive committee of the Pan.Amer-

Makhmud has succeeded in defeating
repeatedly the English troops in Iraq
A few days ago the government of
Iraq signed treaty accepting 20 En-
glish specialists, for periods up to ten
years, in the state government This
is evidence that the Transformation
of Iraq into an English colony is rapid
ly advancing.
The change is most striking in the
working methods of English diplom-
acy in Persia. After the inglorious
adventure Of its puppet Sheik Kheisal,
English diplomacy has decided not to
play the part of an enemy OF the ma
tional movement for freedom in Per-
STA to take its orientation from Eng
land, 1t is working out plans on a
large scale for the economic enslave-
ment of Persia, with the assistance of

In England's policy in the Near
East, the Anglo-American bloc which
has 80 obviously collapsed in China,
continues as before to play an import
ant part. II finds expression in a ser.

operation in the question of railways
and concessions can be observed.
A similar picture is to be observed
in Turkey and the Iraq. The Standard
Oil and the English-Pers'da have
come to an agreement with regard to
a common exploitation of the native
oil of Iraq, and a short time ago a
concession treaty was signed in Bag
dad with the government OF Iraq.
England is trying by this agreement
to get America to guarantee the Dor
ders of Iraq.
HAND in hand with this tendency
II can be observed for the relations
between England and France in the
East to become strained this cores
ponds to certain degree to the situa.
ton in Europe. Thus the attempts
OF the French to gain share in the
affairs connected with native oil and
railways in North Persia is met by
England's violent opposition. When
communications were published with
regard to negotiations between Tur-
key and France as to adjustment of
the frontier OF Syria the English press
very plainly gave expression to the
opinion that France had no right to
dispose OF Syria. The English press
showed similar anxiety during the

THE Eastern peoples cannot be de.
ceived by the new mask of Eng
lish Imperialism. This became evil
dent at the conference for the limita-
ton of trade in arms which took
place recently at Geneva, Grass ex-
ample Of cynical farce, at which the
great military powers who hold all
the achievements of the modern tech
nique of war in their hands, demand
ed that the Eastern people should
limit their ornaments. In accordance
with the interests of England and
France, the conference provided for
the establishment of forbidden zones
in Morocco, on the Red Sea, in the
Persian Gulf and in the Gulf Of Oman
as well as in the Indian Ocean. II
endeavored to isolate and weaken the
national movement in the East. After
a series Of protests on the part OF
representatives Cf the Eastern coun.
tries, the Persian delegate demon
stratively left the conference and de-
clined to sign the minutes. According
to communication of the Morning
POST, in which hidden threat is con-
tanned, the incident might lead to Per.
sia resigning from the League Of Ma
lions. As yet there are no commun-
ications as to whether the Geneva pro-
focal will be signed by Turkey and

like.
