that even minutes silent reading OF

TINKERED With
UNEMPL. 0YMENT
AT SCARBOROUGH
Decisive Measures Not
Adopted, Says Writer
BY CARL 5RANNlN.

SCARBOROUGH, England, (FP)--
With more than 1.600,O00 unemployed
workers in England to-day and the
number growing week by week, the
Trade Union Congress confined itself
to measures dealing with reform of
the present unemployment relief
machinery rather than militant action
% check and overcome this menace.
Harry Pollitt, delegate from the
boilermakers and Secy. Of the Natl
Minority Movement, asked the Cong
ress to adopt a program embodying
the following features.
/. To cement bonds between I'M
employed and employed workers so
that they would fight better together
in strikes.
2. That Labor Party in Parliament
should pursue a policy Of obstruction
until definite action was taken to
stop the closing down Of industry; to
extend government credit to concerns
desiring to trade with Russia and
break the credit blockade of the banks
as evidenced by their recent refusal
to finance large buying orders Of
machinery from Russia.
3. A nation wide campaign to or
ganize the unemployed.
He pointed out that unemployment
was being artifcally fostered as a part
Of the employers offensive against
the miners and the working class
generally next May. J. M. Keynes,
liberal economist was quoted as an
authority in this connection.
Ellen Wilkinson, Labor NJ. P.
and Haldsworth of the Distributive
Workers urged that the National
Unemployed Workers Committee
Movement be given full afiliation to
the Trades Union Congress. They
pointed to the fine support given by
the men and women out of work to
other workers out on strike. In case
after case they had refused TO scab
even tho they were hungry themselves
The unemployed should be tied closer
to the Trade Union movement and
given a chance to present their case
at the Congress of Trade Unions.

WASHINGTON-(FP) Petition for
rehearing by the labor department of
the ruling that John c. Schedel OF Fl.
Wayne, Ind, must be re-deported altho
he wants to support his wife and four
children who would be left helpless,
has been filed by the Labor Defense
Council, of Chicago, at Secretary
Davis Office.
The petition declares that since
Schedel is now in the United States,
after having been deported as a Com
munist and kept abroad for four years,
the objection to his presence is purely
technical. Indiana citizens have ur-
ged Davis to show mercy to the mans
family. by permitting him to remain.

"B. AND 0. BILL"
IGNORES GROWING
DEMAND TO QUIT
Further Fight Looms by
Referendum

WASHINGTON-(F. P.)-Secretary
Dawson Of the Init. Assn. of Machin-
lists has received, at Washington
headquarters of the grand lodge, the
recall petition endorsed by a large
number of local lodges throughout the
United States and Canada. Pending
his checking-over of the list of en-
dorsers, and of the legal standing of
these lodges, no statement as to
whether the legally required number
of endorsements has been filed will be
made. DAWSON and Vice-President
Conlon have made it clear, however,
that they will fight the holding of such
an election, claiming that the charges
made against themselves and others
are too vague to fall within the pro-
visions made in the constitution for
recall procedure.
If President Johnston holds the
decision void, and his decision is up
held by the council, as is expected to
be the event, the opposition party
may, by petition of 10 per cent of
all the lodges, force a referendum
election on the question whether the
recall petition is legal. II this first
referendum election is won by the
Standardization forces, the recall
election must be held. These steps
will probably take five or six months.

MOORS CONTEST
EVERY inch OF
BATTLE-GROUND
SPANS OfenSiUe Gains
But One Mile

MADRID, Spain, Sept. 27.-The
Spanish drive on the Moots contIn-
ues. The Moors have forced Spain
to struggle for every inch Of ground.
The spaniards have begun their
drive in the Alhucemas section.
Here the Moors are forcing Spain to
use every available slrpIane to hold
the positions that are gained. After
a fight that contested every post the
spaniards won but a strip Of terri
tory Of a mile In depth.
The bitterness with which the
field is contested is contained in the
following declarations Of General
Primo de Rivera;
From now on there viii be war.
much warif the rebels desire peace
it will be they who ask for it."
Use Meroenaries.
With this declaration is coupled
the fact that foreign mercenaries are
being used by Spain to carry on the
struggle. The foreign legions are
usually composed of undesirable ele-
ments that are out for plumber. Air
planes are to be used more than ever
in the struggle against the Riffs
The Spanish General Jordana
found himself in great difficulty after
the storming Of MORO viejo, Cuerl
vos de Xuauen and Malmussi, all sit
uated near the Bay of Alhucemas,
Hard to Hold.
He expressed his perplexity IN the
following words: "The operations are
by no means concluded, because after
we have captured the mountains we
must fortify them and attend to
many other matters to insure the
safety of our troops"
The Moorish artillery put the
Spanish battleship Alfonso XIII, Gen.
eral Primo de Rivera's base of OBJ
erations, out Of action. The Spanish
battleship Jaimo was badly damaged
by a well-placed Moorish shell. The
military equipment Of the tribesmen
is scant. They have a few field
pieces. Rifles and machine guns are
the only other means at their dis
posal, while the Spanish troops and
the mercenaries. have airplanes,
heavy artillery, bsttleships, tanks
and other modern weapons at their
disposal.
