so-called Charter Of Labor, laid down
by Mussolini several weeks ago, was

paratively long period. It's object is
to help Italian manufacturers.
Although Italian factory and agri-
cultural workers have suffered severe
wage slashes in the last few months

S516,OOO CRAFT
WRECKS NEVADA
STATE FINANCES
State Treasurer, Bank
Pass Buck; Moratorium

RENO, New, May 13.-With half
a million dollars missing from the
state treasury, Nevada today began
a five-day moratorium, during which
all financial activity of the state gov
eminent will be halted. .
Governor Balzar declared the
moratorium upon completion of an
audit of the books Of State Treasurer
Ed. Malley, with former State Comp
troller George Cole and E. w. Clapp,
former cashier of the Carson Valley
Bank, is accused Of embezzling $780,
600.
The state treasurer, however, con-
tends the huge. shortage is in the
books Of the Carson Valley Bank and
not in the state ledgers. By an
adroit maneuver, Malley placed the
state and the bank on the defensive.
He appeared at the bank, presenting
cashiers checks totalling well over
half a million dollars and demanding
payment.
The bank refused to honor pay
ment.
Malley thereby is said to have
placed upon the bank the burden Of
proving the checks fraudulent. Fur
thermore, it was said, the bank now
will be forced to take legal action
independent of the state prosecution.

Fraud on workers is charged
against the Union Trade Schools,

here.
Upon payment Of $35, the worker
is given a weeks course" in brick
laying, after which he is sent out to
a job where he works two weeks with
out pay.
Thereafter he is to be placed on a
job where the wages are not to ex-
coed" So a day.
On the face Of it the so-called
Union Trade Schools, Inc, which
gives the impression that it is trade
union school, is preparing strike
breakers to destroy the conditions
built up over half century by union
bricklayers' union, according to Pres
ident Joseph T, Gillen, of Bricklayers'
Local /.
But actually the outfit fails to send
its students" out on any sort of Job
with money in it, declares Gillen, who
is handling the complaints of two
workers who claim they have been
defrauded.
Gillen adds that the Union Trade
Schools, Inc, advertizes in capitalist
papers, including the New York

Seamen No Longer Docile.

WASHINGTON, May 10. (FP).-
Information from the Sailors Union
Of the Pacific, at San Francisco, is
to the effect that cheap Chinese la
Dor is no longer "safe" for the anti
union Dollar Line to the Orient, when
that line is carrying American armed
forces to China. The Dollar COM
pany, having bought a number of
government ships at bargain prices
and put coolie crews aboard, has made
a patriotic" gesture by offering the
lease of these ships to the govern
ment as transports for marines and
soldiers. The first ship taken was
the President Grant, and before she
could sail from San Francisco all
Cantonese among the crew were
taken off.
While Chinese crews were good
enough when China was submissive
to the foreign powers, the Dollar
concern did not trust the Canton Chi
nese to safely handle one Of their
ships carrying foreign troops to
Shanghai to overawe the Chinese
revolutionists. 1t was feared that
the Canton sailors belonged secretly
to the Canton Seaman's Union, which
has declared in favor of Soviet type
Of government in China. If the crew
were radicals, they might possibly
sink the ship, drowning themselves
and the soldiers together.

Criminal Syndicalism
Prisoner Is for |. L. d.

An echo Of the big Marine
Transport Workers Strike of 1928 in
San Pedro, California, was heard yes
terday in the local office of the In
ternational Labor Defense. H. Ce-
darholm, Number 3S1O8, graduate of
San Quentin, California, hit this big
city and got into touch with the In
ternational Labor Defense as soon as
possible, and told his story.
He was one Of the twenty-seven
workers arrested for being the lead
ing spirits in the San Pedro strike.
The trial started on July 4th, 1923.
The charges being criminal syndi-
calism" and not being authorized or
ganizers and propagandists, the re-
action from the strike had its effect
on the judge, and the prisoners were
sentenced to from one to fourteen
years on each charge, sentences to
run concurrently.
Entering the penitentiary on July
18th, the prisoners thought it was
fine building to look at. The guards
jostled them about, saying, you'll
damned soon find out how good it is;
Wen take the wobbly ideas out of
your head"
"Some of US got II days and others
AZ days of solitary confinement in
the dark dungeons as our first prison
experience. Bread and water was
our only food; we had no bedding,
and the ventilation was very bad"
After being reduced to practically
physical wrecks, the prisoners were
sent to work in the jute mills. The
atmosphere was hellish. 1t was
case however of working there or GO
ing back to the damnable solitude of
the dungeons. Medical treatment was
only given when one was at the last
gasp.
The prison atmosphere was main
tanned by the guards walking on the
high walls with loaded rifles. On
one occasion bullets were indiscrimi-
nately fired into the prisoners ranks
wounding three prisoners. Of course
the guards must have their enjoy
ment.
Prison Strikes
Conditions became so bad that the
prisoners were compelled to lodge
complaints. They were accused of
striking and rioting, and punished
accordingly. As a consequence, how
ever, conditions improved towards
the end Of 1925.
Cedarholm was released on Novem-
Der 18th, 1926; the authorities giving
him the necessary clothing and $500
with which to start the battle of
life.
During the latter part of his SEN
tence, he received regularly $500 per
month from the international Labor
Defense. This money was very well
come, enabling him to get tobacco,
literature, and many other things not
on the meagre prison bill of fare. He
desires the following statement to go
out to the workers.
81 appeal to the working men and
women of America to rally together
as a solid united mass, and go for
ward demanding justice and freedom
for the militants in prison. 1t is not
the millionaires who send workers
to prison; it is those workers who
have not yet realized the need for
solidarity. | urge all class-conscious
workers to support the International
Labor Defense in its great work of
helping to free political prisoners.

WRANGLE over
TRACTION MESS
IN PUBLIC SOON
Untermyer Says He Is
For Nickel Fare

Public hearings on the Transit
Unification Project will be begun by
the Transit Commission at it's offices,
270 Madison Avenue Monday, May
%, it was announced yesterday fol-
lowing a conference between mem
bers of the commission and Samuel
UnterInyer.
The decision to air the whole tengle
in the open was reached following an
announcement by Untermyer, special
counsel to the commission, that he
had broken off negotiations with the
I. r. T. and the B. Mt. officials in
his effort to find some solution Of
the problem.
1t is understood the hearings will
resolve themselves into a determined
effort to "smoke out" the traction
company heads and find out just
what they are willing to do to effect
unification of the transit lines Of
the city.
Traction Becomes Mum.
None of the company officials
would discuss the Untermyer an
nouncement.
The full commission will sit at the
hearings with Chairman F. Gilchrist,
presiding. Alvin Untermyer and
Clarence NJ. Lewis, regular counsel
Of the commission, win cooperate
with Untermyer in the examination
of witnesses at the hearings.
termyer indicated that he proposes
with the transit representatives be-
cause of their refusal to cooperate In
a reasonable consolidation plan, I'M
termyer indicated that he proposes TO
summon the officials as witnesses
and question them at the forthcoming
hearings.
Service Now Atrocious.
Untermyer reaffirmed his ale
glance to the five-cent fare and char
acterized the present service on sub
ways and elevated lines as "atrocious."
He asserted higher fare would not
abate or improve conditions. Vigor-
ously advocating recapture of Inter-
borough and B.MT. lines by the city,
Untermyer, who will begin his public
hearings next Monday, said:
"The efforts to reach an agreement
at this juncture by negotiation
with the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit
and Interborough Companies have
now been exhausted and abandoned.
At no time did they include the sur
face roads.
Separate LIS and Tubes.
''In view of the substantial and
steady increase in losses shown by
the Manhattan Elevated Railway,
which are heavy drain on the re-
sources of the PETERBOROUGH, counsel
for the commission was reluctant to
recommend the taking over of the
Manhattan. That would have been
too heavy burden upon the main
tenance of a five-cent fare.
''The B. M. 7. made it a finality
that the city would have to take it's
surface lines if it took the Rapid Tran
sit System, to which we are unwill-
ing to assent. They further insisted
that their property, if taken, should
be acquired on the basis of yielding
them in perpetuity the same net re-
turn in the securities paid them for
the property as was represented by
the earnings for the past year.
"This demand was plainly mad
missable."

Soviet Union Charge
Makes Sharp Protest

tConJ1tued from Rage ORe)
"All employers of ARGOS and the
trade delegation, both men and wom-
en-, were detained and subjected to
personal search. Among these were
women, possessing diplomatic pass
ports, including Nine. Rosengoltz and
the wife Of the financial attache. The
personal search of women was car
ried out by male officers"
Rosengoltz delivered a formal note
of protest to Sir Austen, charging
that the raid on the ARGOS building

He also stated he had informed his
government of the search, which was
still continuing at the time and he
awaits further instructions from Mos
cow.
Employees Of ARGOS tell of the gem
eral brutality of the raid, and the
confusion wrought in the offices, even
those with diplomatic immunity.
The tables and desks in the rooms
were strewn deeply with papers
which were prowled over and examin-
ed by the policemen. A burly uni
formed officer stood guard over the
clerks and typists at the back of the
rooms and prevented them from re-
turning to their desks.
Ordered By Home Office.
Late in the afternoon it was stated
that the raid was carried out by a
special branch of Scotland Yard I'M

vaca Protests Intervention.

WASHINGTON, May IS OPP. -
DR.. 7. S. Vaca, representative in
Washington of the Liberal govern
ment of Nicaragua, has delivered to
Secretary Kellogg a formal protest
against military seizure of his coun-
try by American forces, and warn
ing that when the Nicaraguans re-
gain their freedom they will repudi-
ate all contracts and loans negotiated
meanwhile by the illegal regime set
up by American power.
Further, the Liberal government,
says Vaca, declines all responsibility
for bloodshed resulting from the de-
termination of President Coolidge to
disarm the Liberal armies. He charges
that the Liberal forces have been
defending the laws and constitution
and national sovereignty of their
country against plot of the Diaz-
Chamorro militarist faction because
they believed the pledges of neutral
ity made by the Washington authori-
ties.

eminent of Nicaragua hereby de-
clares," says its agent, chat con-
trary to semi-offieial reports and dis
patches from Managua it has n@ con-
sented to the .Stimson peace terms,
and that finally, by action Of the
naval forces of the U. S. it may be
compelled to cease its military ac-
tivities only when it is convinced that
in this manner it may serve best the
welfare of the Nicaraguan people
hopelessly in the clutches Of a for
eign power"
