Authorities Try to Stop
Miners Relief
Especial to The Daily Worker)
By FRANK PALMER.

DENVER, Dec. 13.-Militia raids
on private homes without warrants
continued Sunday, when the Louis
vile home of William Lotion, Negro
leader, was searched few minutes be-
fore he arrived from Colorado Springs
where he has charge of activities.
The militiamen are unknown in
this case, but the identity has been
established of Captain Charles White,
state secretary of the democratic
party, as leader eff the raid of militia
men on the Reese home in Lafayette
Saturday.
Shut Off Credit.
Believing the militia reports t6at
relief money was exhausted, Lafayette
grocers shut off credit Saturday, but
Monday the strikers opened their own
stores with more than thousand dol
Eight grocers in other Northern Colo
RADIO towns went to the state head
quarters to assure the committee they
would extend all credit necessary.

Realizing the vital effect of short
age of relief, the officials are using
all means to stop the inflow of funds;
hut while there is no margin of safety
and great anxiety over the situation
exists, everybody had been fed so far.
The companies are trading scabs in
Northern Colorado to make a better
showing, while the Rockefeller VIC
tins in Southern Colorado strike af
ter visit by college students, and an
other small mine closes in Fremont
county. Realizing that victory is
rear, the miners are enthusiastically
standing solid as the Industrial Com
mission announces hearings in Den
yer Monday.
The biggest coal companies of Colo
rado, including Rockefeller's Fuel and
Iron Company, the Denver Post Coal
Company and the National Fuel Com
pany, operating with scabs are now
charged with cheating customers by
short weights in coal sold in Denver
since the strike began. They will
appear Wednesday in police court.
Several small companies have been
fined for short weight in the last few
days but it is not believed Rockefeller
will be put to such indignity.

Pravda Halls Canton Revolt.


MOSCOW. USSR, Dec. 13.-To-
days Pravda writes, concerning the
Canton events, that the difference be-
tween the present Canton rising and
the Yeh Tin and Ho Lung rising is,
that not only troops and peasant
masses, but working masses are also
playing a determining and decisive
role now. This circumstance makes
the rising historically immortal.
"The counter-revolution is power
less to destroy its historical signific-
ance," the Pravda says, "as the first
victorious rising of the peasant mass
es taught the lesson of bourgeois be-
trayal. The first task to make the
rising victorious is to consolidate and
retain the victory.

in possession must organize them
selves into firm, revolutionary work.

must organize mass power, and cre-
ate worker, soldier and peasant SOW

volutionary power.
"The revolutionary government
must declare a merciless struggle
against all relics of feudal oppres-
sion, and urge peasants to forcibly
seize estates and lands, and effect the
abolition of rural slavery.
Communist Party Must Lead.
"The strength of the Canton rising
in revolutionary initiative illustrates
the determination of the toiling mass
es to combat the exploiters, robbers
and throttlers of the Chinese people,
and to end their activities. The sue
cess can be guaranteed only by cor
rect leadership, and only the Chinese
Communist Party can guarantee cor
rect leadership in the coming Red

revolution can only be kept alive by
determinedly marching onward

AMERICAN GOODS
 FLOODING PARIS
New Tariff Cuts Ties and Sends
 Them to Market

aris, Nov. 21 R-Thousands of crates of all manner of things made in America began flowing through French custom houses today with the coming into effect of the pro- visional tariff which the French have granted on long list of goods manufactured in the United States and Canada.
 Something between s500.000 and s1,O0O,000 worth of manufactured goods has been tied up for weeks ever since the signing of the Franco German commercial treaty was fol- lowed by a rise in the duty Of American products which resulted in protests from the United States. The new tariff. which will prevail until a commercial agreement can be reached puts the duties on most American articles back where they were.
 Most of the American goods tied up during the tariff negotiations were at Havre while smaller pro- portion was at Cherbourg, Boulogne, Marseilles and other ports. Many ! American importers meanwhile let their stocks run low and are now using all their means to expedite { customs examination of Shipments tc 1 Paris and other centers.
 Manufacturers of tractors ant dealers in breakfast foods are abou the only complainers under the new tariff arrangement. The tractor manufacturer base their complain on a reclassification of their pro
 duct which greatly increases thu
 duties, while the breakfast foot dealers find that the decrease in tn
 duty on cartons has been offset b.
 the new tariff on grain and cerea
 products which has raised the dutie
 on breakfast foods about 40 pc
