S-HOUR HOKUM
OF JUDGE GARY
USED BY JOHN D.
But the Bait Is Full of
Fish Hooks

NEW YORK CITY, July A. An
other fake reform very similar to the
United States Steel Corporations
loudly heralded abolition" of the ~
hour day. is announced for the Stand
ard Oil company
The workers in the oil camps are
supposed to be granted the eight-hour
day, just out of the kindness of heart
of Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller.
However. and there is always an
however" concealed in the bait, the
announcement amends the statement
by saying that Not all of the workers
will Immediately go on an eight-hour
basis. In outlying districts where
camps have been built. the twelve
hour day will remain in force, because
the men preferred TO work the longer
day rather than be idle for four
hours"
II is not explained why the gener.
Gus Rockefellers insist on the inflic-
ton Of such idleness on even part
Of the workers Particularly as the
shorter day is said to be great
boon" in one part of the announce
ment
But there is still another joker in
the deck The announcement says
innocently that the workers will lose
only 81 day by wage reduction
on the total paid by the hour.
AS there are only enough workers
really put on the eight-hour shift in
the steel mills to make a propaganda
that the nice steel trust has abolished
the twelye-hour day, II is expected
that the same fake reform is going to
be done by Standard Oh to enable

al, after considering the motion Of the
defense to have this law. upon which
the indetment against John T. Scopes
is based, declared unconstitutional as
violation Of the freedom Of express

Raulston's conscience seemed to
bother him, as in the morning he ad-

enough time to consider the state law

the public schools, under which
Scopes is being tried in his court.
The Judge decided that the Tonnes

police powers in placing restrictions

The next battle Of the defense will
be to secure the admission of the

evolution is. against the violent OBJ

The Spanish millionaire Echevarri-

timatum to Krim. It is known that
they will not be accepted as they
place Krim under the sovereignty Of
the sultan, Moulay Youssef, who is a
vassal of: French imperialism. ~
The proposed peace" is an empty
gesture of the French made for propa-
ganda purposes to attempt to show
the workers that peace is desired.
The Spanish-French negotiations
for combined attack on the Moroc.
cans are also regarded as impossible
Of fulfllment. as even If the plan pro-
posed by the French were accepted by
Spain, 10000 more Spanish troops

China May CUT
RED TAPE WITH
CANCELLATION
Has Right and POwer to
ReDoke Treaties
lspeeIaI . De paIIy worksr.l


WASHINGTON. July IA - The
Chinese government, II was learned
in an official quarter today, Is holding
in reserve one very powerful weapon
which may be used in case the pow
ers fall to come to a satisfactory
agreement respecting customs in.
creases and concessions concerning
the aboIishment Of extra-territoriaIity
In China.
This weapon is to denounce exist
ing treaties which restrict the sover-
eighty and administrative authority
of China.
The Chinese government is con.
WINGED that under international law
and international practice 1t would be
justified in first serving notice on the
powers of its desire to terminate ex-
listing treaties, and. if the powers
failed to acquiesce, in denouncing
those treaties as null and void
international Law Gives Right.
This right arises, in the view of
the Chinese government, from the
precept of international law that any
sovereign state has the right to ter
inmate an existing agreement, or to
denounce the agreement, if the other
party to it declines to agree to its
termination. While this principle is
generally recognized in the practice
of nations, 1t IS asserted, the strength
of such position is particularly en-
HANGED when conditions under which
the treaties re entered into have
completely ci5z1ged, as Ia the case
with China.
Should China elect TO denounce ex-
listing treaties, 1t is pointed out, the
only recourse left to the powers OBJ
iecting to this action would be the
use of force. While it is barely DOS
sible that some of the powers af-
fected might favor the use of force
in case the treaties were denounced,
it is doubted that unanimity of ac-
ton could be obtained, without
which. it is believed, armed interven.
ton would constitute an extremely
difficult and delicate problem.
Force Couldn't Do Much.
1t is the conviction of officials of
the American government that, aside
from any question of ethics involved.
the use of force in a country so vast
and so disorganized as China would
be so costly and so ineffective as to
be almost out of the question. This
view is known to be shared by mum.
erous other powers, notably the
present Japanese government, and it
is recalled that when Great Britain
proposed "a naval demonstration
against China some two years ago a
majority of the powers objected. At
the present moment practically all
the powers are committed to a policy
of using force only for the protection
of the lives and property of their ma.
tionals.

that not all of the defendants had

Sullivan hesitated and looked wise

Guinea charged that the names in

from the books of the company and
that the company in this way is try

ers to get change of venue to
judge who has not worn his pen so
bluntly in the service of the bosses.
IF this company can put the name
of one man who is scab on this bill

in asking for change of venue, then
we are defeated in our legal rights to
get judge whom we think would act
fairly in matter of this kind" urged

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

JAMES Ramsay Macdonald, ex-
= British premier, is rather sensitive
to criticism. When some Of the work
ers objected to his acceptance of a
large gift from tory manufacturer,
he thot HIS critics were stepping off
the reservation where the humble
toilers should keep themselves. More
recently, Macdonald gave aid and
comfort to the bloody zankov gov
eminent of Bulgaria by advising the
socialists Of that country that the re-
port made on the conditions in Bull
garia-a report unfavorable to the
Fascisti-by members of the British
Labor Party, was not an official re-
port but merely an expression of the
views Of those who wrote it.
ONE branch Of the Independent La
~ bor Party. to which Macdonald
belongs, objected to this letter, taking
the position that Macdonald was
helping the murderers of the BuIgari-
an workingclass by writing it, at the
very moment when Zankov's hang
men were building the scaffolds for
some of the best leaders of the Bull
garian workers and farmers. And the
branch was entirely correct. MacDon-
aid replied to this criticism by tell
ing the members to mind their own
business" and that socialism was not
1.-The creed of lot of blithering easie-
oosie asses" but something that re-
quires rectitude of thot and consider
alton of action.
MACDONALD winds up by saying:

not to interfere in matters that it
knows nothing about, and to refrain
from passing resolutions which show
no. only their inability to state the
\ rs, but their equally great inability
TO come to any respectable conclu-
sions from them" Now, bear in mind
that MAC" is not a Communist, hates
the dictatorship of the proletariat like
stale beer and is a fervent believer
in democracy. But note the contempt
this gentleman shows for the rank
and file! They are not supposed to
be able to think. Just say nothing but
