German industriaIlsts are moving to-
ward the formation of huge Euro

HOWAT WARNS
OF DANGER TO
Miners union
Speaks to Huge Throng
at Springfield, Ill.

SPRINGFIELD, III. - on the even

mines around this city faced a blind
ing rain-storm, to come into town and
pack clear to the roof the circuit
court room, where Alexander Howat
was the main speaker, telling how to
save the union.
III you believe in me, as you be-
lieved in me ave years ago." said
Howat, then believe me when l say
to you that the miners union is in
grave danger, Jand that the best thing
to do at this time is to elect John
Brophy president, and help him carry
out the Save the Union program he
has announced.
I'VE need to organize the morgan
lied, and believe he can do it. We
need Naturalization of the mines; con-
ventions OF the U. M. W. A. have
voted for q campaign for that, but
Lewis win do nothing. Brophy will.
He is the man who will gain back the
confidence of the non-union miners,
whose support we must have in any
successful strike, even to get decent
contract next April.
How Lewis "Served"

the man who broke down the COM

with scrupulous fairness.
Lewis says that II he is reelected,

past eight yea said Howat, What
do you want him to do? LOSE AN
OTHER 100000 MEMBERS FROM
THE UNION?

clared that the Italian delega-
ton shared the views of Bukha-
rim on these, questions.
When Bukharin arose to make a two
hours speech summing up the debate
on his report, he was met by loud APP
plause. Replying to the French dele
gate TRENT (who had declared the
possibility OF European imperialist
bloc against the U. 81, Bukharin
stated that the French comrade had
mistaken tendencies for accomplished
facts. He loses sight, Bukharin went
on, of most important developments
which show irreconciliable, conflicting
interests within Europe making the
prospects of war between European
capitalist powers nearer than the pros

HARM continued, and when TRENT said
that "Fordism" meant not only ration
alization but also higher wages, TRENT
forgot that in the last two years wages
have not been higher and he also for
got the intensifcation Of the exploita-
ton Of labor.
The coalition of all capitalist states
owing to the strong contradictions
among the bourgeoisie and between
them and the proletariat, is neither
possible or practical and TRENT is
wrong because he overlooks these
contradictions, Bukharin said.
The World Crisis.
Regarding the actual crisis of cap
italism, Bukharin continued, the So
cial-democrats consider the crisis
normal, while the Communists stress
the existence of the strongest ele-
ments of the postwar crisis and the
war influence. The Communists do
not deny the growth of the production
apparatus within capitalism but make
a difference between the estimation Of
the productive apparatus and produc-
tive capacity.
Bukharin pointed out the correct.

MOSCOW, U. S. S, r., Nov. 3d.
Greeting the Chinese revolutionary

UNI of the executive committee Of
the Communist international gave
a tremendous ovation to Tan Ping
Hslang, representative OF the Com
munlst Party of China, as he rose
to make a report that was to lead
off the discussion on the far eastern
question now before the pIenum.
In his speech, Tan Ping Hslans
divided the Chinese revolution into
three periods: The first period ex-
tended from the Shanghai strike Of
1925 to the revolt of Kuo Sun Lin
against the Manchurian war lord,
Chang Tso Lin. This period ad-
Vanced the revolution against the
miIItsrlst reaction. The second
period extended from the counter
attack Of the mllltarists and imper-
iaIlsts ending in the defeat Of kuo
Sun Lin until the beginning of the
northern expedition Of the Canton
csc. The third period, still pro.
eeeding, extends from the first
victories Of the Cantonese troops
and marks the rise Of the revolu-
tionary forces on a national scale.
Resulting in China.

HANkoW, Nov. 30. - American,
British and French blue-jackets have
been landed from river sunboats at
anchor in Hankow and are stripping
the foreign concessions for military
action. The action follows the dec
Iaration of a general strike by Chi
nese labor unions against the foreign

The American destroyers, Pope and
Tuxton are steaming up the Yangtze
and will land an additional party Of

The strike of the Chinese workers
has been peaceful and attended by
threats of violence. They have al

Hankow trade unions have set Dec
4, as the date when a general strike
will be declared OF all servants and

Shops are not allowed to sell the
Japanese food and all servants have

The British community Is very
much alarmed and has sent radios

American and British quarters, arm

RUSH FUNDS TO
SAVE BANKING

81 Banks Close Doors
Within 3 Weeks
Especial to The Daily Worker,


DIES MONIES. Ia, Nov. SO.-With 81
banks having closed their doors in
Iowa in the last three weeks, 19 Of
which failed in one day last week in
two counties alone, reserve funds are
being rushed to the state to prevent
the entire banking structure from col
lapsing.
State bank officials are attempting
to placate the depositors with state
ments that the banks had merely
closed for reorganization" They pre-
dicted that three OF the 10 that closed
in Palo Alto and Kossuth counties in
a single day would reopen soon. They
declined to name the banks that would
reopen, however.
The only statement the officials
would make was the following: Bank
ing conditions in Iowa are better than
they have been for six years and there
is no occasion for any extended com
ment generally. for conditions are
good"
Whether or not they can make the
depositors in the failed banks believe
this is another matter.

According to La Presse, General

the minister OF war to have French
spies center their attention on the

are now very active. Several of It
aly's prominent spies have been seer

felt, forecasts the uncovering of

Italy and Germany Combine.
News of political intrigue involving
Mussolini and Germany is also contrib
uting to general apprehension OF the
outcome Of the present situation. IT
is definitely understood that Mussoliai
has made overtures to Foreign Min
lister Stresemann of Germany that
may lead to new treaty between
Germany and Italy. An attempt to
maintain utmost secrecy as to details
Of the negotiations Is being made, but
enough has leaked out to reveal that
Mussolini is DESTROYS of promoting an
understanding" between Italy and
Germany. 1t is understood that Mus
solini has offered Germany an "arbi.
tration" treaty containing in it a neu-
trality clause. This is viewed with
suspicion since Italy is one OF the
guarantors of the Locarno treaty.
France Threatened.
Both Italy and Germany have con-
cessions they want to demand from
France, and the latest tactics Is seen
as an attempt to form a combine to
bring greater pressure on the French
government
France is looking to Great Britain
for aid in case this occurs. feeling
that Great Britain will stick by her.
The whole affair is smacking OF the
old political intrigue that the nations
are supposed TO have discarded when
they accepted the league OF nations.
