Finnish-Soviet Border

MOSCOW, June 81, -(By Mai)-
Today the first exchange of prisoners
between the Soviet Union and Finland
took place on the Finnish-Russian
frontier. A representative of the In

The railway worker Lachtosari who
was twice sentenced to lifelong hard
labor and who has been in prison
seven years was one Of the exchanged,
also landworker Leopold who has
been imprisoned for four years, and
five revolutionary workers and one
peasant.
The exchanged comrades have given
details of a barbarous prison regime
which has completely ruined them in

trial for three and half years, one
and half years passed before he was
even examined.

P AINTERS OF
CLEVELAND, O.,
IN AN UPROAR
Object to Shady Deal
with Open Shoppers

CLEVELAND, July 10. - The paint
ers' strike, which has been in prog,
ress in this city for more than 10
weeks, is about to be sold out. More
than rs per cent Of the painters are
back on the job on the new scale of
$1.371s an hour and the 5-day week.
The Master Painters Association
has stubbornly refused to agree to
these terms, but they control only
about rs per cent of the jobs. The
rs per cent of the men are working
for independent contractors, who had
work on hand and were ready to make
the concessions to the men.
The Master Painters Association is
another name for the American Plan
Association, the open shoppers. They
have maliciously and persistently
fought organized labor, but have been
forced to deal with the union, because
the building trades are we'll organized
in this city.
Attempts have repeatedly. been made
to mediate the strike. Prosecuting At
torney Stanton has made continual ef-
forts, but they were of no avail, until
a few days ago, when it was announc-
ed that the Painters Association had
agreed with certain self-appointed rep
resentatives Of the union to grant a
wage increase of five cents an hour,
retaining the 51a-day week. The
painters are up in arms. No one au-
thorized the self-appointed represen-
tatives to make any overtures or to
accept any proposals. The union
meetings have been seething with de-
nunciations of these people, and it is
said that they have been put under
charges.
A mass meeting Of the painters will
be held at the Colonial Theater today
and the offer of the master painters
will be presented. 1t is predicted that
the painters will overwhelmingly turn
down the offer. The strike is prac-
tically won, and now is the time to
get the increased wage and the 5-day
week, and to break the plans of the
open shoppers.

Spanish Dictator to

at His White Terror

PARIS, July 13. - The Communist
Party of France is preparing "recep-
ton" for Primo de Rivera, dictator of
Spain, when he visits Paris to attend
the ceremonies at the anniversary of
the fall Of the Bastille. L'Humanite,
their organ, publishes the following:
Primo de Rivera wishes to take
part in the July IA festivities OF Paris.
He requires triumphant reception
in our capital in order to consolidate
his bloody power in Spain.
This reception he forced on our
government, which was his accomplice
in the Moroccan war. In vain the
French government, hoping that this
might deter him, announced that the
dictator was not coming. Primo de
Rivera will come. He wants to parade
himself in the Place de Bataille, and
by his presence there insult both the
living and the dead.
"The people OF Paris will know how
to receive him.
"Workmen! He has abolished all
the rights Of working people in Spain.
Communists Socialistsl Anarchists!
He has thrown your Spanish brothers
into Jail and tortured them. Repub-
hcans! Democrats! He has NAL
treated and prosecuted all your friends
across the Pyrenes.

to cry your anger and show your SYM

MADRID, -(By MaiD--In two and
a half years of government, Primo de
Rivera has been forced to face various
plots against his rule, organized by
generals and officers of the army. The
dictator does not feel safe. He knows
that. he cannot rely on his military
comrades, who show a positive oppo-
sition to his government.
Anent some excitement in the garri-
sons, De Rivera maintained in a pub
lie speech that he could depend on the
army to suppress revolt. The COM
manders Of all the military districts
sent the dictator a document stating
that-"The army belongs to the nation
and will only defend the nations in
terests."
Alfonso XIII, who fears the personal
influence Of Primo de Rivera, has been

Vote on Australian
Arbitration Courts

MELBOURNE, (By Mail.) = The
prime minister of Australia, Mr..
Bruce, has put certain proposals be.
fore the federal parliament. Briefly,
the proposals are--That all unions in
Australia be placed under one arbi-
tration court. That the court make
awards for each union, and also have
the power Of the state behind them
to enforce the awards. The court 10
have three judges at its head, who
shall be appointed by the Bruce gov.
eminent, to hold office for life.
Another proposal Is that the gov
eminent have power to carry on es-
sential services during an Industrial
dispute. This proposal is an extern
sion OF the notorious Crimes Act.
Practically every working class or.
ganization has condemned the propos-
ais which will be put to the people
to vote on in the near future.
The government is angling for the
support of the leaders Of the Labor
Party, and according to the latest
reports some Of them have agreed to
support the proposals. II they do,

Soviets to Buy Huge
German Metal Plant;
to Make Locomotives

BERLIN, July 13.-The Soviet gov
eminent has about completed negotia-
lions for the purchase from Germany
of the entire "Rhinemetall'' factory,
one Of Germany's largest plants for
manufacture of locomotives and rail-
road rolling stock. The price, though
not definitely fixed, is said to be
around 100000 gold rubies.
The deal is being handled by the
Ukrainian government, which intends
to TRANSPLANT the works to Khsrkov,
420 miles southwest of Moscow. Not
only all machines will be taken from
Germany to Russia but large per-
certage Of the German staff will be
employed.
The Russian embassy in Berlin con-
frmed today that the negotiations are
going on and are practically COM
pleted.
The Achtuhr Abendblatt states that
since the German railroads were taken
over from government control and
placed under the management OF an
independent company the quantity of
new locomotives and rolling stock pur-
chased has greatly decreased.
1t is also asserted that the railroad
commissioner under the Dawes plan,
M. LefevIe say there IS no need for
extensive purchases in the near future.
This is given as the reason why Ger
many is obliged to sell one Of her
largest manufacturing plants.
The Ukrainiar government IN trying
to obtain three years. credits on the
purchase of the plant, which now
seems to be the only obstacle in the
way of the completion of the sale. The
Soviet Union has given the Ukraine
a concession to operate this plant and
offers special tax exemptions for a
longer period until the plant is fully
operating.

INDIANA STATE
IN DESPOT Grip
OF KHAN COURTS
Truth No Defense for

cause he criticized the courts, also
klan-ruled, has accepted the offer of
the Civil Liberties Union of New
Liberties Union of New York for aid
in fighting mis- case to the United
States supreme court.
The Indiana supreme court has al
ready ruled to uphold the khan Judge,
Clarence Dearth, who sentenced Dale
on the grounds that "the truth was
no defense"
Will Accept Aid.
Dale, after a long distance talk with
his attorney, William v. Rocker OF In
dianapolis, wired acceptance Of as
sistance to. the c. L. u, saying that
his lawyer will be glad of the unions
aid, and of its offer to furnish an at
torney, possibly Arthur Garfield Hayes,
who handled the Scopes case in Ten
nessee.
The khan judge is now planning to
remove the county sheriff, Harry Nc
Cauley, under cover of charges of
laxity in enforcing the so-called "bone.
dry law" This state law, known as
the Wright law" grants the courts
despotic power, as may be seen by the
following quotation from it:
No Jury Trial.
And the court shall, without a
jury, hear the charges and upon salts
factory proof thereof, remove any
such officer from the discharge of the
duties of his Office"
1t is hard to say what rights may
be left to elected representatives of
the people of Indiana or to editors,
when the courts are given these pow
ers, is the view of Dale, who is now
bankrupted by his long fight with the
khan.

What's Happening in Spain

The king is afraid Of De Rivera's

Alfonso does not desire new govern
ment because it naturally means the
immediate convocation Of parliament.
So he acts outwardly as the protector

characterization Grows.
De Rivera is much worried by
serious characterization among the
officers of the army. Several generals
attempted to carry out coup detat
similar to the one by Primo de Rivera
by which he gained his power on Sep
TENDER 10, 1923.
He carries on a policy of corruption
to win support by giving all kinds of
privileges and promotions to check
mate his opposers. Notwithstanding
this, insubordination grows. The mill
tary clubs are the seat Of his opposi-
ton.
To stop this, De Rivera has decreed
that the clubs are under the supervi-
sion Of the state.
RepubhcanIsm In the Army.
A strong tendency of republicanism
is invading the army. The government
is deeply worried with this new fact.
All the younger officers are hostile to
