BRITISH AND
U. S. ENJOYS IN
MEXICO CONFER
Plans for { Concerted Ac-
ton Discussed

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 10. - Con-
eerted action between Great Britain
and the United States over the repub-
hes petroleum and alien laws and+he
religious struggle, is considered the
reason for the conference between
James R. Sheffield, American ambas-
sador and Edmund oyey, British min
lister, held here few days ago. The
latter has already made protest to
Gales,
Sheffield is bitter enemy of the
Mexican government and has given
every possible aid and comfort to the
reactionary clericals and foreign ex-
ploiters. He is considered mainly re-
sponsible for the lurid tales of Amer
lean violent deaths in Mexico. Mex
leans observe that if foreign countries
were to make representations to the
United States government over every
one of their nationals killed in the
states the Washington administration
would have its hands full.
They Backed De La Huerta.
nc SAINT cl6HleulS that formed the
backbone of the De La Huerta up
rising are now busy among the most
backward sections of the peasantry
squirting them on to open revolt
against the government. Assured that
the United States will intervene in
their behalf and confident Of the as
sistance of the powerful catholic or
CARNATIONS in the United States, the
Mexican hierarchy has thrown caution
to the winds and is now openly prop
agandizing violent resistance to law
even in Mexico, City. The people are
urged to withdraw their money from
the banks and refuse to accept paper
currency. How long the government
can afford to allow this conduct to go

were spared during the May revolu-
ton.
Pilsudsh's dream of forming a Bal
tic states federation to be used as a
buffer state against the Soviet Union
was given a hard blow when the So
Wet Union declared It would sign
treaties with the individual nations
but not with an alliance. Pilsudski's
proposed conference to effect this
block has been indefinitely postponed.
Lithuania has been Poland's stumb-
ling block towards the formation OF
this anti-Soviet block.
Lithuania has not yet forgotten the
taking of wilma and other important
Lithuanian centers. She still has
hopes of regaining the territory seized
by Poland. Pilsudski is now seeking
to effect an alliance with Germany
thru which she hopes to force Lithu-
ania to enter the Baltic states fedora
tion and forget the Wilma incident.

GIRARD STEEL
MILL WORKERS
OUT ON STRIKE
Ask S13 a Ton; Need
Union But Denied 1t
Especial to The Daily worksr)

GIRARD, Ohio, Aug. 10. = Three
hundred steel workers at the Buyers
mill are on strike, among them some
members of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers' Union. They say they have been
sold out. They demanded SIS a ton.
At the Atlantic City conference be-
tween the companies and the union
representatives. both agreed to refer
the scale matter 10 the local lodges.
The lodges decided to hold out for S13.
But the company officials and the un-
ion accepted the 1925 scale a Slid
ing scale" of sl1.3S.
Say It's Outlaw
The men say the union officials
were not authorized to accept this.
Most Oh the strikers are unorganized,
but were willing TO stick with the
organized for $13. When the whole
300 struck, the Amalgamated called
IT an OUTLAW" strike.
The steel trust earned record profits
in 1925; $4SO00,OOO in the last quarter
alone.
The union has done nothing for the
strikers. When the men went out, the
union representative. Mckinley, came
TO town, but not to see the strikers
He went TO see the company-and
then left town!
Proeressives Have Program.
A few progressives among the strik.
ers are trying TO spread the strike,
TO get support from all steel workers,
and to hold the organization they have
during the strike as a permanent basis
for compelling the Amalgamated TO
accept them INTO, the union, where as
a left wing along with other such
progressives. they can make the union
what It ought t5'be Instead of what It
is. an obstacle TO the Organization Of
the unorganized.

Especial to The Daily Worker,

PARIS, Aug. 10. - In 1917 following
the March revolution in Russia, Alex
ander Kerensky, then head of the pro-
visional government sent two urgent
messages to Lloyd George, then
premier Of Great Britain, requesting
an English battleship to transport the
Gear and his family to England for
their protection. Lloyd George answer
ed:
~ deeply regret, but ! am unwill-
ing to provoke depIorable action or
reprisal from British labor. There
fore ! must refuse to eoncede your

This belated, but none the less in

was given today by Kerensky himself

who asked him for his views on the
recent Wild reports being circulated
about reyolts and assassinations in
the Soviet Union.

PAUL SMITHS, N. Y, Aug. TO-
President Coolidge showed by his "un-
official" utterances that he is highly
incensed at Clemenceau's letter. More
unofficial threats of ruin of French

Coolidge is particularly angry at
Clemenceau's comparing the separate
peace treaty made with Germany by
the United States, to the action of
Soviet Russia when Germany's gen.
erals on the eastern front compelled
the Russians to sign the treaty of
Brest-Litovsk. Coolidge feels that this

PARIS, Aug. 1O.-The letter Of
Georges Clemenceau to Coolidge in
which the Tiger" so-called, attacks
the financial imperialist policy of the
United States as @out-Shylocking Shy
lock-" was enthusiastically received
in the Hobbies of the chamber Of depu-
ties. One hundred deputies of the
union republican parties held a spe-
cial meeting to adopt a resolution COM
plimenting Clemenceau.
Former Finance Minister Louis
Loucheur said:
Echoes Opinion.
"Clemenceaus letter is an echo Of
French public opinion. It is absolute
ly representative of France"
"A former member of the cabinet
remarked:
"The only chance Of ratifying the
Washington debt agreement now is to
dissolve the chamber and hold a gen.
eral election. And then the new cham
Der would be just as opposed to rati-
icatiOn as this one"

If Coolidge Won't, Borah VIII.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-While the
administration is undecided as to
whether to give the letter OF CIemen-
ceau silent treatment" or refer it
to the treasury for reply, it is indi-
Gated in wire from Senator Borah's
Idaho home, that Borah, at least. will
have something to say.
Borah has been a vigorous opponent
of the administration on the settle
ment of debts, particularly the remis-
sion of IS per cent of Italys debt and
a reduction of about 80 per cent of
that of France. This likelihood of
Borah's intended reply, may put the
Coolidge administration in the posi-
ton of being forced to answer before
Borah may give an unofficial broad
side that French opinion will take as
official in the absence of any other.
Seeks No Revision, Says Embassy.
The French embassy waves the let
ter aside with the statement that
Clemenceau doesn't represent the
French government, which, the en-
bassy says is not going to ask any
revision of the agreement.
