STRIKE HUNG ON
BOSTON BUILDING
BY FIVE UNIONS
But Painters Go Back as
Others Walk Out

BOSTON, Mass, May 29-(FP)-
Ranks of striking building tradesmen
are swelled by the building laborers
whose 5000 members have walked
out on all but the few construction
jobs that are meeting the laborers'
demands for so cents for the semi
skilled and TN cents an hour for the
rest.
Conference Settled Nothing
The strike follows an unsuccessful
eleventh hour conference between the
Building Contractors Association and
union representatives, consisting of a
committee from the five local unions
of Hold Carriers, Building and Com
mon Laborers' Union, and Dominic
D'Alessandro, international president
of the union.
Bosses stood pat at the conference,
offering to sign a Swear pact, con
tinuing present wages of 20 and 65
cents for one year, with arbitration in
1926 and 1927. Union representatives
refused. and the strike, sanctioned al
ready by a strike referendum, was
called.
UnsklIled Eat Just As Much
Building laborers are resentful Of
the fact that their wages have not
risen in proportion to that of other
building tradesmen. They say that
the solidarity in the ranks Of their
union and the boom in construction
gives them confidence Of success.
Many of the 1000 striking painters
ire back on the jobs at the scale Of
S1.25 an hour, which they demanded.

of them were, Frenchmen, one Nor

MOROCCAN War
IN INDORSED BY
PINK TRAITORS
Reds Alone Oppose
French Foreign War
Especial to The Daily Worker


PARIS, France, Mya 2e.-The social
list (refomist) bloc In the French
chamber Of deputies, supported the
PainIeve government in its invasion Of
North Africa, and the premier was
given a vote of confidence in his
conduetance of the Moroccan war by
a vote of 537 to 29 today. The 29 Com
munsts were the only group to op-
pose the lmperialistic invasion.
Side by side with the socialists,
who, after their mild criticism Of yes
terday capitulated and openly sup.
ported the colonial exploitation of
foreign peoples by French Imperialism
were the nationalist, right wing par
ties. The Conservative, imperialist de-
puties found common ground with the
socialists in indorsing the murder of
the native Rifians. ~
Communists Demand Peace.
BY the vote of confidence the social
lists gave approval Of thea coming
French-Spapish alliance for the ex-
ploitation of the rich natural resources
of North Africa, and for a war of ag-
gression against the native North
Africans to wrest their, land from
them and divide up the spoils.
The Communists bitterly opposed
the foreign invasion, called upon the
French troops fighting in Morocco to
fraternize with Abd-el-Krim's native
forces, and attacked the imperialistic
policy of the Painleve government,
supported by the socialists.
The Painleve government has an
nounced war to the end against the
North Africans, and Painleve is aid
ing the North African syndicate of
capitalists to secure mining and other
properties and exploit the native
workers.
The Endorsement by the socialists
was assured earlier, when a delegation
of the majority party deputies called
on Painleye and announced their I'M
animous adoption of the text of the
order of the day.
