Workers Asked to
Demand Withdrawal
OF Foreign Troops
Especial to The Daily Worker


MOSCOW, Dec. 15.-Declar-
ing that Soviet governments are
in complete control in five dis
tricts in Kwantung Province,
the Executive Committee of the
Communist international has
issued an appeal urging workers
thruout the world to demand the
immediate withdrawal of imperialist
troops from China and to prevent the
despatch of ships carrying troops and
munitions to China.
The workers and peasants in South
China are making steady gains in
spite of the attacks of native reae-
tionaries who are allied with the i'm
perialist powers, the appeal states.
The text of the appeal, which is ad-
dressed to all workers and to soldiers
in all imperialist armies, follows in
full:
Unfurl Red Flag.
"The Cookers and peasants of
China seized the glorious town of
Canton after severe struggle and
unfurled the red banner of revolution
in the capital of south China.
"The incompatible heroism of the
Canton workers is a great act of
world significance. All counter
revolutionary forces have united
against the workers and peasants
the foreign imperialists, the bloody
militarists and the counter-revolution
airy bourgeoisie.
Workers Struggle.
"These forces are conducting a fur
ious struggle for Canton. They have
surrounded it and isolated it from the
world. The bourgeois news agencies
report that Canton has fallen and
that the mass executions of workers
and Communists has begun; but
workers revolutionary detachments
broke thru the Gordon.
eff the reports of the counter-revo-
lutionary victory at Canton are true,
the victory cannot be stable and hast

ly saddled in five districts in Kwan-
tung province. New battles are in
evitable. The movement is growing
in spite of partial defeats. The bour-
geois counter-revolutionar and the
hangmen generals will be smashed.
The imperialist cutthroats will be
driven from Chinese territory.
Aid Struggle!
However, the heroic Chinese work
ers' and peasants revolution now suf-
fers under their blows.
"Speed help! Speed aid to the
Chinese Sovietsl
'Not soldier, not sailor, not a
gun, not an arm to throttle the Chi
nese revolution.
"Refuse to load munitionsl
Demand immediate withdrawal of
imperialist forces to China.
Long live the Chinese Soviet gov
ernment.
Long live the international revolu-
tion.

COL LORADO STOPS
MEETING TO TEST
civil LIBERTIES
Militia Attack on Strik-
ers Feared
By FRANK l.. PALMER.
Especial to The DGiIy Worker)

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 15.-Charg-
ing that bloodshed was planned at a
meeting to test the right to hold
meetings, under the direction of
George Collins, the New York repre-
sentative of the American Civil Lib
critics Union, Major Ardourel of the
militia, prohibited the meeting this
afternoon.
Feared Militia Attack.
Collins derided the idea that either
he or his associates planned blood
shed, and denied that others knew of
the meeting before Thursday. How
ever, Collins dismissed the meeting to
prevent possible attack by the militia
upon the strikers.
A habeas corpus proceeding was
started in the federal court on behalf
of twelve strikers who are being held
by the militia in northern Colorado.
Either decision will be given in
three days, or trials will be started
by the Relief Committee.
Militia Raids Continue.
The militia continues raids night
and day, searching homes and arrest
ing strikers. Home to home" picket
ing is charged, whatever that is.
The operators effort to prevent a
great mass meeting Friday night may
be successful as the city authorities
objected at the last moment on Thurs
day to the use of the auditorium for
a meeting of the Fellowship of Recon-
ciliation for Peace.
Three university students, the chair
man of the Civic Affairs Committee
of the Ministerial Alliance, college
professor and George ColliAs and an
other minister were to speak. This
meeting was a vital issue for the
"Peace with Justice" movement.

HEARST A SORRY
SPECTACLE IN
Senate PROBE
Borah, LaFollette and
Helfin Take Stand
BULLETIN.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Dec. Is.
Consul General Elias. appearing
voluntarily before tie committee
investigating the Hearst forgeries
about the Mexican government, de-
MED that he ever had any money
with which to bribe senator's, de-
MED absolutely the authenticity of
any of the documents, and the
charges based upon them. and point
ed out that the alleged Mexican
letters were on the wrong kind of
paper to have come from govern
ment files.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - The
names of the four United States SEN
ators that were erased in the faxed
documents published in the Hearst
chain of sewer-rags were brought out
today before the senate committee
selected to investigate the latest of
the series of lies, fakes and forgeries
being published by William Randolph
Hearst's publications. They are Sen
ators Borah of Idaho, Helfin of Ala
bama, Norris of Nebraska and LaFol-
le.te of Wisconsin.
Hearst a Sorry Witness
Even in front of friendly senate
committee composed of Hearst law
yers, Mellon oil senators and old guard
Mellon-C Collidge lackeys, comprising
Senators Reed of Pennsylvania, john
son of California, jones of Washing
ton, Bruce of Maryland and Robinson
of Arkansas, the millionaire publisher
of smut-sheets, William Randolph
Hearst made sorry spectacle of him
self and was afraid to vouch for the
authenticity of any single one of the
documents that his papers have been
publishing against Mexico, Nicaragua,
the Soviet Union and every other
country or group or individual he
sought to besmirch.
Mysterious MAN" Furnished Fakes.
When asked the source from which
he had secured the so-called secret
documents, Hearst replied that he
would be glad to tell provided he could
refer to "one man" without Jon
ing his name. He explained that to
mention this name might cause con-
siderable embarrassment to the man
in question, for he is still in business
in Mexico. Reed asked for the name
privately" and Hearst wrote it out
on a slip of paper and gave it to the
committee.
"This gentleman was in Mexico"
said Hearst. "He communicated that
to Edward Clary, the executor of my
mothers estate, by letter."
Retreats On Charges.
Questioned specifically about the
documents relating to senator's, Mr..
Hearst said he was convinced that

PEACE" MEETING
IN Mine STRIKE.
ENDS IN FIASCO
Miners Show Hypocrisy
of Conference

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-After a
flat statement by Secretary of Labor
Davis that "it is useless for small
bituminous operators to attend any
conference unless the major operators
attend and agree to remedial meas
ures." Davis peace conference" of
soft coal operators and miners broke
up today without reaching an agree
ment. This was the result expected
by progressive miners since the con-
ference call was issued.
! The two groups were asked to SUBJ
nit later recommendation on which
settlement could be negotiated.
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 15.--Although
few minor coal companies have .ac-
cepted Secretary of Labor Davis in
vitation to the joint conference with
the miners officials opening in Wash
ington today, it is clear that Davis
offer is only cover for strike break
ing, and there is small chance of any
speedy settlement or change in the
lockout situation, and it seems GER
tain that the miners are facing long
winter of pitiless war.
Big Operators Reject "Offer."
Twice the large coal operators, the
decisive factor in the coal war, lead
by the Mellon-controlled Pittsburgh
Coal Company, have contemptuously
rejected the conference call, and re-
affirmed their refusal to have any
dealings with the miners union.
eve haye definitely and perman-
emily severed all relations with that
organization, states the Pittsburgh
Coal Company.
eve will not meet with representa-
tives of the United Mine Workers Of
America with whom we have no con-
tract" is the answer of the Ohio Coal
Operators Association to Davis tele-
gram. 1t would not benefit
the miners who remain unemployed,
because we have already offered and
yet continue to offer them employ
ment at the highest wages now pos
sible.
"Our mines are not closed to them
as individuals and our information
and belief is that many would return
to work but for the misleading and
unwarranted advice of the union Of
ficials."
Out to Smash Union.
In unmistakable terms the coal op-
orators of all three districts declare
that they are out to smash the union,
bring the open shop into Pennsylvania
and Ohio to stay, and establish the
slave conditions and starvation scale
of the Kentucky, Alabama and West
Virginia fields.
In all the strike districts the food
situation is daily more official. In
the majority of local unions the dis
trict has been unable to increase its
relief allowance for months, yet every
week finds more families destitute
and in need of immediate relief.

SOCIETY ASKS 8-H0UR
DAY FOR FRENCH HORSES
League of Nations Help Is Sought
to Give Animals Same Law
as Other Workers.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS.-An eicht-hour day and
one day off a week for horses is the
starting point of an animals Magma
Charta.
The French League for the Pro
lection of Animals hopes eventually
to get the League Of Nations to sane
ton these proposed rights of dumb
animals.
DR.. +. G. See, head of the league,
is actively generating support for his
plan. His proposal is that a number
Of laws applicable to the labor Of
man be applied by the government
to the four-fOoted beasts, which are
protected now only against extreme
physical abuse.
The eieht-hour law. he says, and
the six-day week are needed as badly
by horses as by man. The difference
is that the horse has no vote and
he doesn't go on strike for better
working conditions and more pay. He
works for his board and sometimes
doesn't get it.

AUTO EXHAUST GASSES
KILL CHESTNUT TREES

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS.-Automobil and elm and
chestnut trees can't live in the same
streets and the trees are moving out.
1t costs $50 each to replace the
dying trees with varieties that can
breathe the gas-flled air Of modern
society. AS rapidly as money is avail
able the old trees are giving way to
harder planes. Cedars and other kinds.
There are $4,000 trees along the
streets of Paris and in the small green
squares, but the number is being re-
duced, as trees die out because often
they were too crowded. Once upon a
time, before the machine age the trees
were planted IS feet apart. Now, it
has been found, street trees need more
space to breathe the Vitiated air. They
are being put in % feet apart.
Poverty seems to be the particular
trouble with Paris trees, for the APP
preparation for a years care is only
so cents each.

According to figures compiled in the
Militia Bureau, of which Mai. Gen.
Greed c. Hammond is chief, there are
approximately 5000 members of the
National Guard who hold Officers Re
serve Corps appointments and COM
missions in the Army of the United
States It is expected that this num-
Der will increase considerably, as it is
apparent. that most of the States are
making every effort to have all their
officers commissioned in the Army of
the United States. National Guard
officers were appointed IN the Officers
Reserve Corps prior TO June 6, 1924,
for period of five years, and it is
prescribed in Army regulations that
these appointments continue in effect
until the expiration of this period "un-
less sooner terminated" On Febru-
airy ). 1927, the War Department in
auguratcd a new policy whereby all
fiVe-year appointments held by Ma
tional Guard officers would be termi-
mated by their acceptance of new APP
pointmentS cotcrminous with their
Federal recognition status as National
Guard officers. This policy requires
that these new appointments be ac-
cepted, in order that the officers con-
cerned retain an officers Reserve
Corps status, and in order to carry it
out it was necessary to adjust the
status in the cases Of approximately
, 900 officers.
misunderstanding on the part of
some National Guard officers due to
misinterpretation of the purpose of
the policy resulted. but 1t is believed
that most of these cases were satisfac-
torily adjusted. 1t was generally be-
lieved that the rendering OF new ap-
pointments would affect the relative
rank of officers in the Reserve Corps,
but this, of course, was not so, as the
relative rank of all officers in active
service is determined in accordance
with the provisions of section 127a of
the national defense act.
