FRENCH CRISIS
PREVENTS DEBT
PAYMENT TOU.S.
PdinleUe Makes Idle
Gesture Like Italy's
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, July 2. - Emile
Daeschner, the French ambassador,
has been instructed to tell Secretary
Of State Kellogg that the French gov
eminent Is giving serious eonsidera-
tIon to the adjustment Of its $4,000
100000 debt to the United States.
Pending the ambassadors visit to
the state department, details of his
Instructions were not available, but It
appeared doubtful whether he had
been authorized to 90 further into the
debt problem at present than to ad-
wise this government that France in
tended to pay her debt and would
send experts to Washington later in
the summer to discuss terms.
Italy Made No Progress.
This move by the French govern
ment will put its debt on the same
status as that of Italy, according to
the view in diplomatic circles, the
Italian conference here having only
advanced to the point of promise to
pay before an adjournment was taken.
The gesture made by Italy, however.
is believed to have influenced the
French government to take a similar
step. No commitments will be made
by the ambassador, but he will assure
the American debt funding commits
sion of Frances desire to liquidate her
external debts "as soon as the finan-
cial reform planned by Finance Min
lister Cailiaux is realized" -
Financial Crisis Grows.
With the Moroccan war costing the
French millions of dollars, and the
franc continually falling, with the
workers protesting against the con-
slant rise in prices and increasing
burden of taxation, it appears that
France will have difficulty in squlrm-
ing out of its financial crisis. ues

COMMUNISTS ARE
REELECTED TO
COAST COUNCIL
Unseated Delegates APP
proved by Unions

SEATTLE, WASH, July 2.-Willlar
Il. Jones and Morris Hansen, two Of
the six Communists who were de-
elared unseated from the Seattle
Central Labor Council by John Jep-
sens arbitrary ruling in violation Of
the councils constitution, won an
overwhelming victory in their local
union, Painters Local No. 800.
They were reelected delegates to
the council by the highest votes cast
for any nominee. Jones received nine
ty-seven votes and Hansen ninety-one,
while Charles Doyle, secretary of the
council, and one of the machine, re-
ceived the lowest vote of forty-two
and was overwhelmingly defeated as
candidate for delegate to the council.
Reelected to Building Council.
Jones was also reelected to the
Building Trades Council which had
also unseated him and in which the
resolution for their unseating from
the Central Labor Council originated.
Hansen was also reelected delegate

large vote about three weeks ago.
Jones was reelected business agent
of the Painters Union and district
council for the ensuing term. This is
the semi-annual election in the local
labor movement.
Are Active Unionists.
Hansen and Jones are prominent
and active trade unionists in the local
labor movement. The painters local
is one of the largest and most pro-
gressive and for the third time since
the arbitrary unseating it has re-
elected both Jones and Hansen and
it has determined TO stand back of
them until they have been reseated
in the council.
Similarly the other locals of the rest
Of the unseated Communists have re-
elected them and sent them back TO
the council and their credentials will
no doubt be presented shortly to the
council with demand that they be
seated.

AS WE SEE IT.
BY T. }. o'FLAHERTY

THIS man Feng is an interesting
4 character. General Feng, the So
called Christian, who delivered the
coupe-de-grace to WI Pei Flu, who cut
a big figure in China, not so long ago.
Feng worked with WI, and the capt.
talist press had nice things to say
about him. But suddenly he left WI
holding the bag and betook himself
to Peking, which he captured, or occu-
pied, as you may like to have 1t, and
established himself as one of the big
guns in China.
NHANG-TSO-LIN, the Manchurian
~ war lord and Japanese tool, grad
ually began to lose his commanding
position. Chang has been moving his
troops around like a chess player
since the Shanghai outrages brought
the Chinese discomfort against the
foreign imperialists to a head. But
he is in a delicate position. If he
openly takes the side Of Japan, his
troops will desert him and if he goes
against Japan, he will jerk himself
from the payroll Like the presby-
terrain, he's damned if he does and
he's damned If he doesn't
GENERAL FENG has joined the
" Kuo Min Tang party, and is now
the dominating character in the move
ment for the liberation and uniflca-
ton Of China. His speeches are frank
and thoroly christian. He has all the
zeal of the early martyrs. Bloodshed
has no terrors for him. Just now an
uncomfortable desire to test his Iethal
weapons on the British. possesses
him. And the strangest feature of
Feng's conduct is, that he is quite
friendly towards Soviet Russia.

John L. LEWIS is waking up to the

ready repudiated the Jacksonville
pact, in fact, if not officially. At the
tri-district anthracite convention, in
Scranton, the noted faker threatened
TO call nationwide strike in the BIZ
luminous fields unless the operators
came to time. But Lewis is only
bluffing the miners. He is not fooling
the operators. Under his leadership
the operators have pulled the CUTS
out OF the union in the soft coal fields.
They have done this while Lewis was

O(NNfNhN wv as WY
ers in the tri-district convention
In spite of the red baiters t
press, both of which have been
preting the aims and desires of
the progressive miners, the pro-
gram of the progressives, up to
the present time, has met the
approval Of the coaldiggers at
the convention.
Standing out amongst the many
achievements of the progressives is
the following:
For a Labor Party.
The resolution for a labor marty
was endorsed. This resolution show.
ed that the history of the workers has
been continual fight for living
wage and better working conditions,
and in fighting for the above, not
only have the workers got to fight
the employers, but have to fight all
government agencies as we'll, ana
every attempt made to secure aid
from the old political parties has
failed.
A part of the resolution contained
the following:
This Tri-District convention favors
a labor party based on trade unions,
and including as affiliated sections,
political organizations of a working
class nature"
The resolution was unanimously
endorsed.
Oppose Labor Persecution.
Likewise, a resolution condemning
anti-syndicalism laws was unanimous
ly endorsed
The convention repudiated all laws
that deny the worker freedom of
speech, press and assembly. and
called upon the American Federation
of Labor and all affiliated bodies to
develop an agitation against such
laws in every state where found.
Will Fight Child Labor.
Another resolution, unanimously
endorsed, was one against child la
Dor. The convention called upon the
workers thruout the country, with all
working class organizations, and sym
pathetic organizations to rally for
battle against child labor.
Much satisfaction is felt here with
the progressives' program, and in
view of the organized opposition that
has been carried out by the large
coal companies, the Progressive Min
ers' Committee have much to be
congratulated for.
Lewis Hangs Around-Gets Fearful,
Lewis, tho in the chair yesterday,
vacated it today to discuss the scale
questions with the scale committee
which reported later.
The scale committee report was
adopted and called for a two-year
agreement.
Minor Victories.
This is a partial victory for the
Progressive Miners Committee, who
demanded one-year agreement. 1t
is well known here that had the
Progressive Miners not been active
in this respect an agreement would
have been made for a period Of three
or four years.
The Progressive Miners Committee
program ais ocalled for the cbeckoff
as an economical measure for the
union. This, too, was endorsed at the
convention.
Ask 10 Per Cent Raise.
The specific wage demands will be
reported sometime this evening or TO
morrow, and is supposed to call for
a ten per cent increase.
John L. Gets 100000.
Kennedy spoke most of the morning
session on Wednesday. and the after
noon session was short, but the i'm
portant resolutions outlined above
were passed before adjournment. In
addition, the convention voted an as
sessment of 50 per member TO be
turned over to the international Of
fee.
AS there are 10000 miners in the
Tri-District region, 100000 additional
will soon be at the disposal Of the Of
ficials.

CHILD PRODIGY
WILLAPPEAR
IN RECITAL

Kathryn Overstreet, a l1-year-old
child prodigy, will appear in piano
recital at the Rialto Theatre, Friday
evening, February 6, 1925 at 8:15
o'clock under the auspices of the
Thursday musical.
For the past three years she has
been a master Pupil of Nine. Bail
ey-Apfelbeck, world famous pianiste.
Kathryn has achieved splendid
success in many recitals in eastern
ard southern states. The gold piano
at the White House was opened to
her and she is perhaps the youngest
musician ever to touch the beauti-
full instrument. She has also achieved
phenomenal success as a child plan
list in Minneapolis. After playing
the Beethoven's c Minor Concerto
with orchestra, October 20, 1924, DR..
Nilsson of the Minneapolis Journal
calls her "the child wonder" and that
her playing "was in every way an
admirable performance" DR.. Davis
of the Minneapolis Tribune wrote
Kathryn Overstreet, little girl of
tender years gave the Allegro from
Bcethoven's c Minor Concerto with
the most perfect technique magma
BILE. The daintiness, the simplicity
and naturalness and concentration
were a delight to the eye as we'll
as ear"

On December 13, 1924, Nine. Bail.
ey-Apfelbeck gave a musical recep-
ton in her honor in the gold room
of the Radisson Hotel and presented
her formally to the music lovers of
the Twin Cities. Commenting on
her playing at this reception DR..
Nilsson of the Minneapolis Journal
says in part, Kathryn Overstreet,
d 11-year-old pianist surprised and
delighted through her truly remark
able technical skill, and for one so
young, matured musicianship. A brill
liant future must be open to child
so sanely developed as is Kathryn
Overstreet. DR.. Davis of the Mime
apolis Tribune, "This little girl is
already a mature artist. in many par
ticulars, she plays with the conf
dence born of knowledge, phrases
with musical appreciation, her tone
is astonishingly large and varied,
and her technique is surprisingly
crisp and facile. If her future is
directed with wisdom, Miss Over
street is destined to attain dis
tinctive place as concert pianist.
