ATTEMPTS AT FORMING
CZECH CABINET FAIL;
RAIL AT COMMUNISTS
Especial to The Daily worker

Prague, Czecho-Slovahia Dec. g.
In note to the president, former pre-
mier Svehla, bewafls his inability to
form a cabinet as the catholic peoples
party refuse to enter a cabinet in
which a socialist will be granted the
ministry of education. In his letter
he bitterly condemns the Communists,
who are the second largest party in
the parliament and refuse to enter in
to the coalition cabinet.
The job Of forming cabinet was
then turned over to NJ. Sramek Of the
catholic peoples party. He had no
better luck than did Svehla.
Official circles are now discussing
the turning over the formation of the
new cabinet to M. Bechine, leader Of
the social-democrats 1t is not expect
ed that he will form a cabinet any
more successfully than the others.
Trades against the Communist frac-
tion in parliament are being delivered
daily as the Communist group is look
ed upon as having the balance of pow
er and the only united delegation in
the national assembly.

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 9.--"Ma" Fer
guson's mansion here is a busy scene
as senators and members of the state
legislature are called in by the real
power in Texas, Jim Ferguson, to pre-
vent the special impeachment session
which is threatened to be called.
Speaker of the house. Lee Satter-
white, has about so signatures to Pc
tition calling for special session. 1t
requires 100 to constitute a quorum.
Jim Ferguson, who has been handing
out juicy plums to his confederates,
is comforting with as many members
of the house as he can, getting their
promises not to attend the special ses-
sion.
AS far as the senate is concerned,
the Ferguson gang feel quite confident
that the senate high court of i'm.

Big Business Smiles
Up Sleeve at Co-ops.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Co-opera-
tive activity in marketing and supply,
in the United States, goes in waves,
and only with these recurrent bursts
of enthusiasm" says the report of the
committee on methods of distribution
to the nationwide business mass meet
ing which is staged for Dec. 14-15 in
Washington. This report is called a
study, and was drawn up by l.. H. d.
Weld, of the commercial research
department of Swift and Co., of the
big three meat packers. In generaI,
it points to the chain store and giant
commercial house as the logical type
of modern marketing, and denies that
any fundamental change can be made
whereby the middleman will be elm
mated.
cooperative marketing, says
Weld, exists primarily in the field of
agriculture. Few manufactured prod
ucts are marketed comparatively, ex-
cept butter, but many manufactured
products are purchased comparatively
by The farmers. The first great CO.
operative wave was during the G~a l.
ger movement of the '70s. In spite OF
these ups and downs the general tel.
dency of the movement is decidedly
upward"

ROME. Dec. 9-Premier Benito

in an address before the First Ma

1.-THE government makes it impera-

by the ideals Of fascism," declared
Mussolini. THAT the school shall not
only not be hostile to fascism and to
the attacks of fascism, but that in ali
grades and by every institutional in
struction the Italian youth shall be
educated to comprehend fascism and
the noble aims which fascism pro-
poses to accomplish"
Fundamental Change.
He then went on to tell those that
were at the congress that they might
just as well recognize the fundamen-
tai change that has been accomplished
in Italy, by the decree passed by the
fascist marionette parliament.
1T was not only a change in the
government, but a real political and
social revolution, which in all prob
ability will leave nothing Of that which
constituted the old regime" declared
the fascist dictator.
He ended his talk before the gath
ering telling them that many items
that were now on the school curricu-
lum would be taken OFF as he intended
to make the schools "educative, form

IrIsh eoundary Problem

HiSt HSN'Ncf taSSiS"
LONDON, Eng,-(By MaiD-The
resignation from the boundary com
mission of the Free State representa-
tive, Professor MacNeill, is matter
of grave consern. The commission
consisted of three, the chairman being
Justice Feetham of South Africa, Mr..
j. r. Fished representing Northern
Ireland and Prof. MacNeill.
1t has been understood all along to
have been a matter over which serious
trouble might arise, The Free State,
and the northern government having
used the most emphatic language with
regard to their respective claims, the
Free State were exceptionally vigor-
Gus in stalking their claims and the
Northern men were equally emphatic,
the government hoped to secure
agreement by appointing South Afri-
can Judge as president, and all worked
smoothly, at least on the surface, un-
til few days ago when the Free
State representative rendered his re-
signation.
This matter may be adjusted, but it
may also prove to be impossible to do
this, and if a decision is given that
will receive the backing of the British
government then civil war follows
and the end thereof no man can see.

NORTON, Mass, Dec. 9.-The pro-

coast between Maine and New Bruins
wick and by a system of locks and
dams develop 100000 horse power
continuously, is a scheme that is being
fostered by the power interests and
opposed by the farmers of New Eng
land.
AS to how this super-power scheme
strikes the New England farmer gen.
orally is seen in an article appearing
in the New England Homestead which
says: "Super-power is here, not afar,
off. Last week saw the completion Of
negotiations that have been under
way for weeks whereby the New Eng

add the changes now being caused
by buses supplanting trolleys and

amply justified in warning the public
to beware lest some of these factors

WORKERS MUST
COMBAT ATTEMPT
TO KILL RAKOSI
First Stage of Fight Has
Been Won
(5y INPREcoR.)

MOSCOW, u. S. S. r., Dec. 9.-In
an issue of the Pravda Comrade Bella
Kun, head of the short-lived Hunga-
rian Soviet which was overthrow by
the funds contributed by American
bankers to laid the starving Hungar-
ians," points out that the first stage
in the fight to save the life of Matthias
Rakosi, former peoples commissar
in the Hungarian Soviet, has been
won. He points out that his transfer
from the extraordinary court to the
civil court will not mean the saving
Of his life, unless the workers con-
tinue their energetic activities on be-
half Of Rakosi.
Thanks to the determined and
energetic action of the Hungarian
working class, the international pro-
letariat and all honest intellectuals of
the old and new world, the first period
of the struggle to save the lives of
Rakosi and his four comrades has
been successfully brought to a concIu-
sion," declares Bella Kun.
Praise Heroism.
Bella Kun then praises the cold
blooded heroism of the accused before
the extraordinary court and points
out that the transfer of the process
to an ordinary tribunal is due to the
following considerations:
1. The pressure exercised by the
Hungarian workers and peasants upon
the Hungarian government. This was
so great that even the allies of the
government, the social democrats were
compelled not only to protest against
the extraordinary court, but also to
bring forward the question of legal
izing the Communist Party.
2. The unexampled solidarity of the
international working class which
carried thru an immense protest ac-
ton, a protest action which was sab
otaged only by the most corrupt ell
ements in the Second International,
Macdonald for instance, and which
was supported by prominent scholars,
men of science, literature, art, etc., all
over the world.
8. The split in the ranks of the Hun
garian ruling class itself: whilst Hor-
thy is wholly in favor of extraordinary
courts, Bethlen is in favor of using
them only in exceptional circum-
stances.
Acting under the pressure of the
fascists, the government handed over
Rakosi to the extraordinary court, and
now the transfer of the process to an
ordinary court is intended to represent
the reintroduction of the so-called
regime of legality.
To Legalize Murder.
3 Bella Kun stresses the fact that il
is only the first stage in the struggle
for the life of Rakosi which has been
won, and that his life is in danger
from the ordinary court also, as this
latter is treating his actions during
the proletarian dictatorship as Grim

it deals with the question of legalizing

orous action through the union when
attacked by the ship owners.
Some months ago an award of the
federal Arbitration court was given
fixing the wages to be paid by ship
owners and this was signed by both
parties but some of the Australian
shipowners violated the agreement by
chartering ships in England at wage
rates much lower than the Australian.
The cargoes in such chartered ships
we're treated as BLACK by the seamen
and this led to a number of ships be-
ing laid up in Australian ports.
The prime minister in the name of
the government demanded OF the men
that they should handle the freight
and man the ships. The union, led
by its officials, Walsh and Johannsen,
insisted upon the carrying out of the
award, and the men stuck to this and
for this the union officials are to be
deported, confirming what we have
long since learned that capitalism is
the same in all countries.
