Pan-Paci6c Workers
Conference Given Up
Because of No Interest

SYDNEY, Australia. Nov. 16.-The
Pan-Pacific Labor Conference which
was to have been held at Honolulu
last July and was then postponed till
November is now to be abandoned
altogether. The reason for this is the
lack of support given by the workers
Of Australia and the fact that other
nations surrounding the Pacific signi-
fed they would not put in an appear
ance. The money collected in Austria
liza to finance the conference is being
returned to the unions concerned.
Labor councils in Australia feel very
sore at the abandonment of the con-
ference and characterize the lack OF
interest taken in the matter as dis
grace to the labor movement of Aus
tralia.
A resolution has been carried by
the labor councils deploring the aban-
donment of the conference and urging
the workers of Australia to try and
arrange a conference at some future
date.
NOTE:-This item refers to the
Pan-Pacifc Conference called by the
Australian Labor Party in opposition
to the conference OF the All-Australian
Trade Union Congress. The latter
conference is being theoretically push
ed. 1t will be held at Canton, China,

for over six hours before her parents
were able to get her release.
Given Rough Treatment
During the six hours she was held

the most brutal treatment and ques.

length regarding the Young Pioneers.
and Mary told them what the Pioneers
were-an organization Of working
class children fighting for the working
class.
The police told her parents that they
would certainly have detectives ON
hand at the next meeting OF the
Pioneers. They intimated that the
Pioneer group in Rosselle would Be
broken up by force if it were found
as radical as Mary's reply indicated.
Another Pioneer drilled.
This Is not the first occurrences OF
this kind in Rosselle. A few weeks
ago Herbie Axel, an 11-yearold Pion-
eer, showed his teacher a copy of the
Young Comrade. The teacher was
horrifed She took Herbie to the
principal of the school, who, after
questioning him, evidently found he
needed help to curb this infant red
menace" and called the police depart
ment A detective was sent over to
the school and Herbie's mother wasl
also called into conference. Mrs. AxeI
said that she knew Herbie belonged
to the Pioneers and that she entirely
approved of their program. The prin-
cipal then threatened to expel Herbie
from school unless he left the
Pioneers. His mother replied that her
son would continue to be a member OF
the Pioneers at all costs, as she
thought something was needed to
counteract the poisonous capitalist
propaganda Of the public schools.

GOVERNMENT OFFICERS LEAVE
FOR MIAMI YESTERDAY FOL-
LOWING BRIEF SoJoURN I'm
ISLAND CITY

The prohibition officers of Miami
who arrived in the city yesterday to
attend before u. S. Commissioner
Rodney. Gwynn the preliminary hear
ings of the people arrested by them
in a recent raiding expedition here.
did not go to Miami on .. S. C. G.
boat 299, as was at first believed, it
was learned at the sheriff's Office this
| morning.
Sheriff Roland Curry stated that
he found that the u. S. C. G. boat
j 299 merely served as an avenue of
escape for these officers in avoiding
arrest by civil officers of the law in
this city. The boat, it is reported,
finally put the men ashore here again
and they took the train for Miami.
Thinking that the officers had left
for Miami on the Coast Guard 299,
Sheriff Curry Immediately sent the
following telegram to Sheriff Chase.
at Miami:
"Hold warrant for E. II. Reese.
prohibition officer for grand larceny.
He left here TODAY at noon aboard
u. S. C. G. boat 299 for Miami. Ar
rest and hold. Am forwarding war
rant by mail tonight His bond will
be 81, 000."
Sheriff Curry stated that their
boarding the boat here was only a
ruse and that they really left by
train. he so informed the Miami
sheriff, who is on the lookout for
Reese today and may already have
him under arrest.
Justice of Peace Rogelio Gomez
saws Reese is wanted in his court on
the charge of stealing $3.50 dia-
mond ring, a pearl necklace worth
1925, an $3.50 travelling bag, and
$50 in money. He says there is also
a warrant against Reese charging
him with assault. He has warrants
for number of the other officers
composing the raiding party. he says,
but the names viii have to be straight
ened out before he can tell just who
is wanted. 1t is claimed by the men
WCHI uHucf 80 many 0SSuutCO i6AhiCs
that it is possible that two warrants
may have been issued for the same
man in some cases.
Judge Gomez saws he had officers
from his court stationed at the Gus
tom house to arrest Reese wheH he
came out from court, but that the
whole crowd went out at the rear of
the building through the navy yard
and boarded the C. G. 299. He states
that he asked to speak to the COM
mander of the vessel with the assur-
ance that no papers would be served.
This, he says, was denied him. He
says the prohibition officers were on
the vessel and went below while he
was endeavoring TO get permission
to board the boat. He saw the ofic-
ers come on deck. he saws, after the
boat was some distance from the
dock.
Justice Gomez says the cases of
the officers before him were post
poned upon telegraphic request from
u. S. Attorney. Judge Gober, who
desires to make an investigation of
the affair before that time. The
date set now is March 15.
