seize Arms In TyroI.


VERONA, Italy, Feb. 10--Fascist
soldiers have arrested number Of
persons near Lavarone in South Tyrol
and discovered" caches of arms and
ammunition, including machine gun,
according to dispatches received here.
The authorities assert that Bavarian
fascists from Germany are directing
the plot.
Communists Vote Against Resolution.
BERLIN, Feb. 10-The declaration
embodying the cabinets reply to Mus
soliniis threats concerning German
protests against the Inflammation of
South Tyrol was read to the reich
stag last night by Paul Loebe, its
president, and approved by all the
parties, except the Communists. The
statement reiterates the right Of Ger
many to demand fair play for German
minorities in other lands and warns
the fascist chief not to go too far.
The Communists based their opposi-
ton on the fact that the whole affair
| is merely one of those innumerable
crises which are rising out of the
contradictions between the imperial
istic policies Of the European capital
list states. On Mussolini's part it Is a
move intended to rally the nation be-
hind him and he is apparently willing
to run even the danger OF war to ac-
complish this purpose. In Germany
the extreme nationalists would well
come a new European conflict, as
would the fascist groups. The social
democrats are already so bound up
with the mechanism Of the bourgeois
state that in this, as other situations,
they are sure TO follow the govern
ment's lead. All these parties know
that the Communists would utilize the
outbreak of new European war to
precipitate a revolution in both Ger
many and Italy. The Communist par
ties in both countries do not intend
to be caught in the same predica-
ment as that which faced the Second
International in the summer of 1914.
Secret Alliance as Usual.
Political discussion here makes
much of the yelled reference by Ram
say Macdonald to secret Anglo-Ital-
ian treaty aimed against French dom
nation Of the Mediterranean and
establishing plan Of joint action in
the near East In connection with the
Mosul dispute.
AS usual, Macdonald does not come
out and openly charge what he must
know exists. 1t is evident that the
European pot is beginning to boil
again, with suspicious Of all sorts
flying about and situation so ex-
plosive 1t would take little to set It
off.

share of this war created wealth

estates"
Sees Farmers Hit.
Senator Norris, republican, Of Ne
braska, took the lead again today in
fighting repeal. Such action, he said,
would be a blow at the farmers. He
urged 20 per cent tax on estates of
100000 or over.
Norris said all large fortunes were
amassed by the labor of the people as
a whole. The issue was drawn be-
tween committee recommendation
for repeal and the house proposal for
tax Of per cent at $4,000 and a
maximum of 20 per cent at 10000, 900.
Propose Coolidge Decree.
The progressives rallied behind a
Norris substitute, proposing that the
surtax schedule apply to estates. A
list Of large estates benehtting by
the proposal were cited, including
James y. Duke, S75,OO0,O00, and Sena-
tor Clark, Montana, s4i,0O0,00O.
"The argument is made that the
Duke estate was left 10 charity" Nor

DETROIT REACTIONARIES LINE OWN
POCKETS, REFUSE AID TO STRIKERS;
MARTINS FERRY MINERS GIVE $500
Federation OF LABOR
HEAD OPPOSES GIVING
DONATION TO MINERS
Especial to The Daily worker)

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 1o.--The last
meeting of the Detroit Federation of
Labor showed the official machine in
it's true role of guardian Of President
MartePs business interests and his
supporters as men who have only
their own petty interests to serve.
Reaetionarles Refuse Aid.
A motion was made to donate $500
from theasury to aid the striking an
thracite coal miners and seemed in
fair way to pass until F. x. Martel,
the president, took the floor in opposi-
ton. The gist of his remarks were
that while he was in favor Of aiding
the striking miners, he would rather
it was done some other way than out
of the treasury that he got his pay
from and winding up with sob for
the poor strikers who need relief in
Detroit. AS this was the first time
any one had ever mentioned the needs
of Detroit strikers on the floor of the
federation, it seemed somewhat out
Of place, but as the charity begins
at home" gag always goes good with
the short sighted, it is invariably pull
led when the naughty Reds" try to
extend help beyond the pockets of the
local officials.
After the "All Highest" had pointed
the way, his trusty henchmen hasten
ed to show their loyalty and dutifully
yapped about expense and helping our
own people first, meaning of course
the starving fakirs of Detroit.
When the vote was taken, IA were
in favor of cash aid to the miners and
20 favored Marters plan Of vocal as.
sistance.
Progressives to Run Dance.
After this was defeated the pro-
gressiYes made a motion to appoint a
committee of five to arrange a benefit
affair for the relief of the miners and
this was carried unanimously. Presi-
dent Martel then appointed five pro-
gressives as the committee, knowing
from past experience that the reac-
tionaries never work on anything that
does not fill their own pockets he
would have to rely on the "il4prac.
tica" progressiyes to do it.
There is a remarkable similarity be.
tween the boss and the labor fakir
in that both of them feel the greatest
pain when their pocketbooks are
threatened.

autos with Fox and Cobb supporters
IN them going toward West Frankfort
he afternoon of August II. Suspecting
his meant trouble at the local meet
ng that evening he informed the Chief
police and asked him to see that
othing happened. The police chief,
no also took the stand, supported
his statement.
When Fox and Cobb entered che
meeting, they were accompanied by
about 20 of these men, some of whom
we're prosecution witnesses. When
Corbishly attempted to say what Fox
Ind Cobb had said in their speeches
at the meeting the prosecution OBJ
iected and was sustained. AS usual,
the very mention of coal weighing
scares them. The statement Of Henry
Corbishly that he left the hall after
adjournment and went home was cor.
Elaborated by George Kusick and Ben
Bently.
1t was also brought out that Frank
Corbishley, who was charged with
the murder of Mike Sarovich, instead
of Alex Hargis who, it is known, did
the shooting, left the hall before the
fight by the back stairs along with
Ben Bentley and was seen on the side.
walk almost at the same time as the
shot was heard.
Prove Cobb Liar.
The prosecution has tried hard to
prove that Stanley Paurez precipitated
the attack on Cobb by saying some
thing in a foreign language. Many
witnesses state that Paurez only spoke
in English at the meeting. Besides
he is a Lithuanian and the majority
Of the audience were Slavs and a
speech in his native tongue would not
be understood by them. Alfred Brad
ley on the stand stated he was close
TO the fight around Cobb and saw a
man snatch blackjack out of Cobbs
hand. He did not see any of the de
PENDANTS around Cobb except Steve
Meanavich, who was dragging men
away from Cobb. Eight witnesses on
the stand proved that Martin Simich
was at his boarding house the night
Of the meeting. Cobb swore that Mar
tin Simich had kicked him while on
the floor. Other prosecution witnesses
swore they had seen him at the meet
ing. Eight witnesses showed that he
was at Orient, ILL.,, that day and re
turned to Zeigler about nine o'clock al
night, and was home the rest OF the
night.
During the examination of these
witnesses Judge Nicely, assistant
prosecutor, tried to take advantage Of
them because they were Croatians
but these workers did not pay any at
tentlon to his sneers. He met his
match in a 1S-year-old boy whom he
could not confuse despite all his
proyocation. The examination OF about
one hundred other defense witnesses
will take the rest Of the week.

LOCAL NO. 204 U. M. W. A.
FAVORS GENERAL STRIKE
OF MINING INDUSTRY
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

At meeting OF Local Union No. 284
Of the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea resolution calling on John /.
Lewis, president Of the miners union,
to call out the maintenaneemen and
to see to it that the agreements Of the
anthracite and bltumlnous coal miners
expire on the same date and pIedelng
ittelf ready at all times to 90 on
general strike at any time to aid the
anthracite miners Of Pennsylvania.
Send $500 to Miners.
Besides adopting the following re-
solution unanimously it was also
voted to send $500 to the anthracite
miners to aid them in their strike
One of the machine members declared
that as the anthracite miners did not
help the Martins Ferry miners during
their strike that the Martins Ferry
local should refuse to support the
Pennsylvania miners.
This reactionary was soon laid low
by Wishtart and Rompa, who pointed
out that the life of the entire United
Mine Workers of America depended
on this strike and that all the possible
help that could be given should be
given by the local to help them win
this fight against the coal operators.
The membership Of the union agreed
with Wishtart and Rompa and every
member Of the local present, except
the machine member, voted to send
$500 to the miners.
The resolution in which Martins
Ferry miners local put itself on record
favoring the calling out of the main
tenancemen and also to keep itself in
readiness to join the anthracite
miners of Pennsylvania follows:
whereas, $4,000 of our brothers
have been on strike for more than six
months, fighting against the lowering
of their conditions; and
Whereas, the coal operators are
trying to take away from the workers
one of their most powerful weapons
the strike; and
Show Workers Solidarity.
Whereas, the miners have allowed
the operators to take advantage of
them by permitting the maintenance.
men to remain on the job; and
Whereas, the operators have set
the miners an example of solidarity
to their own class, which the miners
do not yet show; and
Whereas, unless the maintenance
men are called out, as is demanded by
tens of thousands of anthracite
miners, the fight will be still harder;
and
Whereas, solidarity must extend
to the workers of the entire industry
fighting together against the common
enemy; therefore be it
calI-out Malntenancemen.
