French Labor Unions
Find They Must Fight
the Western Electric

PARIS, Sept. 13.-Vigorous protest
has been made to the French public
by the General Confederation OF La
Dor Of France against the proposal
that the publicly owned telephone
service should be taken over by the
international Western Electric Corpo-
ration, which is backed by the Nor
gan banking group and is the Euro
pean end Of the General Electric trust.
The bankers plan was that the
French treasury should get a cash
loan in Wall Street, in security for
which a French telephone monopoly
would be offered. The International
Western Electric would organize two
corporations-the international Tele-
graph and Telephone and the Interna-
tional Standard Electric--to handle
the operating and the manufacturing
ends OF the business.
Western Electric has begun a wide
spread propaganda in France in sup
port Of this scheme. The national
trade union center denounces Il as
dishonorable and dangerous TO the ma.
ton that so essential a service shoald
be taken from the hands OF the gov
eminent.

Reactionary Chinese
General Accused of
Supervising Unionism

PICKING, Sept. 13.-The Peoples
Tribune, organ of the Chinese national
ist movement, which is supported by
the radical government in Canton and
the Feng forces northwest of Picking,
has protested to Marshal Sun Chuan-
fang, military commander in Shanghai,
against his suppression of trade
unions. Sun has been a lieutenant
of Marshall WI Pei-fu, one Of the two
militarist dictators who control CEN
trail and northern China, and who are
favored by the American, British,
French and Japanese.
Recently" says the Tribune, there
has been in Shanghai and other places
reactionary suppression of popular
rights. Public organizations, particu
larly labor organizations, have been
closed down and public expression sup
pressed. In this the usual pretext of
the reactionary is employed, that It is
done in the interest of public order.
"In acting in this manner Marshal
Sun is acting contrary to the best in
terests of China. Public organizations
and particularly labor unions are
schools OF democracy for the masses.
Foreigners here may refer contemptu-
ously to the ignorance of the Chinese
Of the art OF democratic government,
and at the same time rage against the
dictatorship of the mob" expressed in
the action of labor unions.
"They forget that the masses in
other, democratic, countries acquired
their knowledge of public administra-
ton precisely thru their trade unions
and benefit societies, the right for ex-
istence of which they had to fight for
as bitterly as the Chinese workers are
fighting today"

DUCE RATTLES
FASCIST SWORD
IN ROME TALK
Threatens France in a
Speech

ROME, Sept. 1S.-Using as his text
the unsuccessful attempt made to as
sassinate him with bomb by an in.
dividual terrorist who had come from
France, Premier Mussolini delivered
speech from the balcony Of the Chigi
Palace, in which he used very un-
diplomatic language in speaking of the
neighboring republic.
Another Threat.
I'VE must put a stop to certain
culpable tiresome conditions which we
tolerate outside our own frontiers"
said the Duce. I'VE would advise
responsible governments to take note
OF this, because otherwise their
friendly relations with the Italian
people might become compromised"
Meant France.
This referred directly to France, a
fact which none of the thousands OF
fascists who heard his speech over
looked. There is even talk in the press
Of Italy demanding of France the right
to extradite all anti-fascist Italians
living in France.
This speech OF Mussolini can only
be considered another sword-rattling
demonstration to raise the nationalist
pitch Of the fascist followers. There
can certainly be no desire on the part
of Mussolini for war with France at
this time. All other things equal, the
French army could over-rn Italy in
short order. International complica-
lions would, however, make this a de-
cidedly untactful thing for France to
do. Knowing this. Mussolini makes
his arrogant threats and boosts his
stock among Italian militarists free Of
charge.

ELECTION IN

especial to Tns DAILY Worker,

PARIS, Sept. ia so-ca1led plebis.
cite Is going on in Spain, with the OBJ
ject Of giving the dictatorship OF
Primo de Rivera some semblance Of
popular support The rules Of the
election prove how ridiculous 1t would
be to expect anything else, in view Of
the fact that the catholic church, here
a part of the state, is using its full
influence to see that Rivera gets the
support Of its members.

There is only one vote allowed. You

Naturally, the result will be over.
whelmingly for the dictator. The
capitalist news services, which state
that Rivera is doing everything pos
sible to obtain free expression OF
the people," are simply lying.
The methods of the election show
how little 1t can be free expires.
sion" The government is posting
troops at all election booths to see
that no opposition votes are cast. The
catholic church has thrown it's whole
strength behind the dictator. The
women, allowed to vote for the first
time, and most thoroughly controlled
by the church OF any section of the
people, are under Instructions to go
to the polls and vote for the govern
ment.
Church Instruction to Aid Monarchy.
One of Primo de Rivera's officials
proves this by remarking:
To-day is not the real day of the
voting. The people are still unaware
that they should vote. The priests
will see to It to morrow morning. for
from every pulpit the public will be
summoned to go to the polls and vote
for king and country"
BY this maneuver 1t is hoped to
strengthen the monarchy, since the
vote for Rivera will be taken as a
vote for King Alfonso, against whom
there is rising strong sentiment OF
republicanism.

spite Of all threats, at a moment when
distress among the three millions of
the mine working masses had reached
its highest point, the General Council
refused to consider the question of
helping the heroic fighters in Britain.
Such a step is to be found nowhere
in the history Of the working classes
strike struggles.
No less treacherous is the behavior
of the Amsterdam International and
its affiliated bodies. Like the General
Council, it, too, Immediately put a
stop to the assistance for the strikers
that had been begun as soon as it
knew the general strike had been
called of. Like the General Council,
the Amsterdam International isolated
itself from the miners and tried to iso-
late the latter from the rest of the
working class. But the miners strike
continued and the need for help grew.
And it is from this need that the Am
sterdam International and its afiiliat-
ing organizations want to extract the
maximum material advantages.
Amsterdam "nobIy" proposed Civ
Ing a loan, but demanded certain
material securities for this loan
from the miners. The Dutch Trade
Union Federation, headed by the
radical" stenhuIs, Is demanding 4
per cent for the loan, whilst the
General Federation Of German
Trade Unions, headed by Lelpart
and Sassenbaeh, whose business
aeumen is higher, Is demanding II
per cent.
That is the way Amsterdam and it's
henchmen want to secure the pros
perity OF their funds by drawing ON
the blood of the miners out on strike,
their funds being dearer to them than
the interests of the British miners,
than the interests Of the spearhead OF
the working class.
TIL majority of the international
trade secretariats have shown them
selves no better in this strike. The
miners international has most outra-
geously sabotaged all support what
soever of the miners.
Huseman, tho president Of the
German miners, the most powerful
section Of the miners international,
has concluded an agreement with
the German mine owners, Brltaln's
chief coal competitors on the eont-
nent, with a View to making the
most out Of the British strike.
From Germany more than four and
one-half million tons of coal have been
imported into Britain. The British
transport workers and railway men, as
we'll as those on the continent, are
transporting scab coal into the Euro
pean ports and bringing It over for
British industry.

cannot hide the fact that from the
very beginning inside the General

the masses that the General Council
adopted the miners program OF de.

wage reductions for the miners.
BY turning down that memorandum
the mass of the mine workers con-
demned the General Council leaders.
In order to escape being Just con.
demned, the General Council, by
means OF hypocritical promises to help
the miners, moved that the Miners
