 several of the men in the group who attempted to get into Kelly's house this morning were armed with high powered rifles" Hogan said.
 That the raid had been carefully planned Was disclosed in the fact that both telephone and electric light wires had been cut.

 kejly's brother armed with shot gun blazed away at the group out side. Shots without number ripped through the house from the outside indlng their mark in the walls and ceilings. The exchange of shots ac- cordins to Hogan lasted for about five minutes. He added that the rapid manner in which the shots were fired gave the impression that a machine gun mounted within the machine was being used in the at tack.
 Police believe that the fire was kept up to prevent Kclly's party rom leaving the house until the machine had gotten under way.
 It was just before the machine pulled away from in front of kelly's house that the scream was heard in dlcating that some one within the had been struck by a bullet iired from within the Kelly house.
 West Haven police summoned by Hogan appeared just as the gray car pulled west along Marion street towards the so-callcd second ayenue sWamps and disappeared around the corner of a cross street.

conscious agents Of American capital
ism, and of American imperialism
The Monroe Doctrine.
The policy of American imperialism
in Latin-America is carried on under
the slogan of the Monroe Doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine is spoken of in
international parlance as a "unilater-
al agreement" that, it is proclaimed
and maintained by the United States
government bat it has never been
agreed to by Latin-America. Stripped
of all verbiage it is a doctrine of the
CLOSED door" in Latin-America for
all foreign powers except the United
States. In practice the Monroe Doe
trine has meant that Latin-Americans
are denied the right to appeal to any
other great power for assistance
against the imperialist aggressions of
Wall Street and Washington. The
United States government assumes
the right to maintain order" in La
tin-America, in other words to order
things as best to please Wall Street
and Washington.
Machinery of Pan-Americanism
The Monroe Doctrine is the slo-
gan; n-Americanism" is the the
ory which is supposed to justify the
slogan, Pan-Americanism bears some
what the same relation to American
imperialist policy as an-Germanism
bore to the policy of the ex-kaiser and
"Pan.Slavismo to the policy of the
late car. A whole series of organiza-
tional instruments have been created
for "furthering the Pan-American
idea" Perhaps the most notorious of
these is the Pan-American Union,
with headquarters in Washington. An
other-is the Pan-American Federation
of Labor. The p A. F. of l.. is the
labor instrument Of the Monroe Doc
trine.
From the origin of the P. A. F. of
L. to the present day, its directors
have used it to defend American capt.
talism and American imperialism.
This was so at the Laredo convention,
when the dispute between the A. F.
of l.. delegates and the as yet rather
ingenious Mexicans arose over the
question of whether or not there were
any political prisoners in the United
States. 1t was so at the Mexico City
conventions, where the United States
government was thanked for what it
had done for Santo Domingo! 1t was
so at the Washington convention just
passed-where a wholesale attempt
was made to explain away the rape
of Nicaragua, Haiti, Panama and other
territories as 'mere excuses" having
no essential connection with the in

tegrated foreign policy of the United
States government!
The Sensitive Plant.
Indeed, when delegate Martinez of
Venezuela attacked the United States
government he was promptly rebuked
by President Green, who delivered
himself of the following remarks:
"Our young friend from Venezuela
has engaged in a bitter denunciation
of the government of the United
States. This Notwithstanding the fact
that there are five delegates here who
are United States citizens, represent
ing the American Federation of La
Dor in this conference A proper re-
spect for the feelings of these dele
gates ought to serve as a restraining
force in the temper of his language.
We have listened with patience be-
cause we believe in free speech but
wish to make this brief and emphatic
statement SO that it may be under
stood that the American delegation
has not been in agreement with all
that has been said by the Venezuelan
delegate against the United States
government"
Martinez had been speaking about
the outrages against the peoples of
Haiti and Nicaragua-w whose feelings
seemed to strike Mr.. Green as par
ticularly important. No place outside
of the Pan-American Federation of
Labor would in-Americans listen
complacently to anything like that!
Follow the Leader!
There was no resolution at the
Washington convention on the ques-
ton Of the United States aggressions
against Mexico, which have been the
object Of protest thruout South and
Central America There was not a
single resolution of any kind dealing
with U. S. aggressions except those
harmless ones adopted to head off
others which had been introduced d.
rectly criticizing or protesting against
acts of the United States government
AS in the case of Nicaragua.
At all stages of the debates, the
United States government was pre-
sented as the natural leader of the ma
tons of the Americas-as their elder
sister, who sometimes inadvertently
wronged them, but with whom their
interests were essentially safeguarded.
It is superfluous to say that the
P. A. F. of L. has never organized, OF
attempted to organize, trade-union
action against any manifestation of
American imperialism. That it has
headed off attempts at such action
has been already amply demonstrated
in the course of these articles.
