SALT Make CITY, June 12.-
Printers Local II went on strike APP

crafts came out to help it with these
demands, so finally, May 81, the strike
was called off.
At the Federation meeting, May 81,
at which the announcement Of the end
Of the strike was made, many OF the
delegates expressed their indignation
against the local liar, the Salt Lake

working conditions and employment

half only Of the skilled craftsmen here
can find jobs.

The Future Wars and the Working Class

ents, lost more than 10000 of its total
of dead and wounded (271 ,000) en-
tirely thru gas poisoning. Altogether,
more than half million people were
poisoned with gas during the last
war.
The intensity and extent Of the use
Of gas in the future World war will
unquestionable be much greater. It
suffices to say that the United States
is already in position to produce
in one day 5000 tons of Yprit ("Gold
Crosse, which in its poisonous and
caustic effects was the most terrible
OF all the gases used in the war of
1914, to 1918. The ordinary gas mask
is useless against Yprit, as also
against Levisite, which possesses the
terrible properties of Yplit but in a
more pronounced degree. Diving
suits might possibly serve as protec-
ton against gases of this kind, and
consideration is being given to the
issuing Of diving-suits for artillery
men during the next world slaughter.
Such protection is, however, insult
able inasmuch as it would greatly
hamper the mobility of the troops
and diminish their fighting capacity.
Anything for Profits.
The preparations for the gas-war
are being made for the greater part
in secret by the imperialists. But
they are nevertheless being carried
on necessarily, feverishly and per-
sistently. It is true that several reso-
lutions concerning the inadmissibility
of the production of poison gases and
their use in future wasfare have been
adopted, but it is obvious that these
resolutions are absolutely worthless
while the fate Of the nations lies in
the hands of the imperialists. The
voice Of profits is heard much more
clearly by the imperialists than the
piteous entreaties Of the pacifist
saints. Marx used to say that there
was no crime to which a capitalist
would not resort, even at the risk Of
his neck, if tempted by high profits.
For what reason, therefore, should
the imperialists feel conjunction
when their criminally prepared war
threatens to become the scaffold Of
the nations?

Asks Weeks Strike
Every Year Against
British Strike Bill
Especial to the Daily wOrker.)

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
LONDON, June PA one weeks
general strike Of all workers, this
year and every year upon the ami
versary Of the signing of the pend
ing trade union and trade disputes
bill, is the bold answer proposed by
Spencer Bagehot to the Tory gov
ernment's new plan for Gripping the
labor movement.
In passing the bill, says Bagehot,
who at one time was an official in
the post office department, argu-
ment, entreaty, equity, law, and JUS
tice will be trodden down.
"Let it be understood now, and
let it be declared now" he states
"that from the day that King George
signs this bill, converting it into an
act of Parliament, every worker
throughout the land, every trade
unionist will cease work for COM
plete week, and upon every anniver-
sary of the signing of this act he will
cease work for a full week, without
any reference to his union or any
call to arms from leaders in or out
of Parliament.
"This general strike, annual and
perennial, will not bring its leaders
or its followers under the penalties of
this vile and class-cursed act. Estab-
lish the rule now; proclaim the gem
eral strike now, and let it be enacted
and followed year by year and every
year; and let the king understand now
before he puts his august signature
to this detestable bill that forever
his name win be associated with this
general strike, for we shall call it
King Georges General Strike ?"

Ships of other types submarines
and others) are also being built at
similar tremendous pace, so that
according to the existing programme
for the decade 1922 to 1882 their
strength will be increased in the case
of the leading naval Powers by sew
cral dozen per cent, and in the case
Of the backward powers by hundreds
per cent.
Great Advance in Aviation.
The rate of increase in the air
fleets is far and away greater than
that Of the navies. This is due to
the progress made in aviation, to the
circumstance that within the last few
years the mass production of aero
planes has commenced and also TO
the attention which has been devoted
to aviation by the military science
of the future. Just the few coun-
tries bordering en- the Soviet Union
Finland, Esthonia, Poland, Rouma-
MIA. Latvia and Lithuania-have four
times as many war planes as there
were in the whole world in 1913. The
total airfleet Of the four most impor-
tant countries has been strengthened
more than twentyfold since 1913
$50 units and $3.50 unit. Even in
the last three years, 1928 to 1925, the
numerical strength of the airfleet has
been more than doubled.
Chemicals in Next War.
An extended and previously IN
known employment Of aviation will
be combined in the world war IF the
future with an appalling use Of chem
icais. A gas attack from the air, the
dropping of deadly gases from aero
planes-.as far 81 possible unexpected
at night, and preferably in the indus
trial districts behind the enemy's
front and in the largest quantities-
will donb5lessly constitute the NEST
horrible surprise of the imperialist
war which is in course of preparation.
IT would be too exaggerated ard
fantastic to assume that the war of
the future will be exclusively a gas
war and that infantry and artillery
will be abolished by the military sci
ence Of the future. 1t is not for moth
ing that the imperialists are creating
ing these tremendous land forces; it
is not for nothing that they are doing
everything to perfect long-range ar
tillery with the utmost power of de-
strrction. But still there can be no
doubt that the tendency of modern
science Of war is to make the war Of
the future a gas war. It 1t quite pos
sible that in the war Of the future
the same leading role will be given
to gas-attack aeroplanes as was
played by artillery in the 1924
1918 war.

French Ban on Foreign
Coal May Lead to New

LONDON, June 12.-The French
ban on the importation Of coal which
went into operation yesterday is a
severe blow to the British coal bar
ons. 1t may lead to curtailment of
British coal production and to an
other strike.
Unemployment is already large in
the coal fields and wages have al
ready been cut to the bone. ANY at
tempt on the part Of the coal kings
to reduce wages or lengthen hours
may lead to another coal strike.

CURRENT EVENTS By T. ] o.ELAnnRr,
(Continned from Paqe Onel

Continued from Page One)
IT is reported that 5000 police will
be in the Lindbergh parade, but it
is safe to predict that tlsere will be
enough left to maintain "order" on
the fur strike picket lines, which
means protecting scabbery. One Of
the most unbelievable pieces Of news
that has appeared in print for a long
time-unbelievable to the mythical
Martian-is the action Of Vol,
Frayne and McGrady in upbraiding
the police for not being as brutal in
handling the strikers as those gentry
would wish and threatening to mobil-
ize an army Of gangsters to defeat
the fur workers.
THOSE scurvy satellites Of capital
ism have been boastfng thru the
capitalist and the yellow socialist
press that the left wing in the fur
workers union was debated. Yet the
Joint Board representing the left
wing-calls a strike which cripples
the employers who broke their agree
meut with the union, and the police
force is not strong enough to defeat
the mass support that this call has
produced. The fact is that the
American workers have no confidence
in the labor takers. Those fat boys
are Fascists in disguise and would be
on the side of an American Mussolini
tomorrow if such a monster were
necessary here.

The capitalists are consciously
heading for a new war. The finale
Of the first imperialist war was Yer
sailles. But real peace was not con-
cluded at Versailles, nor could il have
been, for the sole reason that from.
the hour Of its birth it was only a
new armed "peace" The feverish
arming after the war is taking place
quite openly; it is quite plain that
nilitarsm is more powerful at the
present time than It was in pre-war
DAYS. and still there are pacifist fools
and idiots who pirate about disarma-
ment and strive to see in the present
reality tendencies towards peace on
bourgeois basis.
1t might be we'll to mention a few
facts and figures to illustrate how
the imperialists are preparing the war
and what kind of war it is they are
leading us into.
The Military Budgets.
The official military budgets in the
most important States France, Great
Britain, Italy, Germany, the United
States of North America. Japan
amounted in the year 1913 to 1400
million dollars; in the year 1926 they
amounted to 2140.5 million dollars,
ar increase Of nearly 20 per cent. The
respective figures for the individual
countries are as follows: France
(19l3) $40 and 1926 31O.8; Great
Britain 430 and sos; Italy 500 and
1925; Germany 345.S and 1863; the
United States 1881 and 659.6; Japan
60 and 209.1. The changed relations
of one budget to another shows on
interesting feature; the economic
legemony of the United States in the
world has brought with it the mill
tary hegemony
Ever Larger Armies.
The present footing of the land
forces is far in excess Of pre-war d.
mensions. According to the data
gathered by Comrade Woroschilyov
for the Fourth Soviet Congress of the
Soviet Union, the land forces of the
four world powers England, France,
Italy and the United States of North
America) total at the present time
$4,000 against 1,413,000 men in
1913.
From year to year the naval forces
of the imperial States are also grow
ing. The Washington agreement Of
1922 by no means put an end to. nor
even "curtailed", but only regulated,
the construction Of dreadnoughts. In
addition. the agreement applied merely
10 battleships and aircraft carriers
The construction Of cruisers, destroy
ers and submarines was not limited
and has, in fact, developed greatly
since 1922. The present tonnage Of
the battleships Of the United States
Of North America aggregates 525,S5C
tons. of Great Britain 5so, 450; Japan

Race for Aircraft.
AS far as the building Of aircraft
carriers is concerned, it must be
stated that Washington "curtailed'
their construction in such a manner
that the Powers will have TO work
very hard in order to reach the So
called norm prescribed. The United
States Of North America has built
12,700 toms Of aircraft carriers, while

have war Then it grows as Of
fensively patriotic as the rest Of the
capitalist sheets.
THE assassination of the Soviet
Minister at Warsaw and the
assassinations Of other officials in
side the Soviet Union is not the only
evidence we have that such a con-
spiracy exists. Even the World
correspondent in Geneva during the
late meeting Of the executive council
Of the league of nations admitted
that England was organizing such
united front and only the mutual
iealousies Of other powers prevented
its contamination. But England, be-
cause Of her precarious situation in
the Orient and the shaky condition
Of her financial structure at home,
was compelled to break with the So
Wet Union, and take a chance on
picking up more allies after the
break.
ASSASSINATION is a policy Of
hdesperation, but Great Britain is
desperate. Therefore she hires Gar
lists to kill off the leaders Of the So
Wet Government As proof Of the
seriousness of Englands trade situa-
ton listen to Sir George Paish in the
International Free Trader: ~Setef
was there greater danger of the col
lapse Of English national and inter
national trade and never was there
greater need for action to restore and
strengthen the currents Of English
trade" A nation in such a predica-
ment will stop at nothing to save her
life.
