the part played by British Imperialism in the ex-

corruption and bribery that is commonly practiced
by the representatives of British imperialism in
their efforts to strangle the aspirations of the
Chinese workers.

OF Manchura had begun to take things into their

GIL.L.ETI FOUND
GUILTY.; GRECO
TRIAL FRIDAY
Plot Victim Convicted
After IL Hours

Mario Gilleti, accused of shooting
two fascists Jan. 25, was found guilty
of second degree assault yesterday
morning by jury in the Bronx Coun-
ty court before Judge Albert Cohn.
The jury was given the case at 8 p.
m. Tuesday and sat all night.
Calogero Greco and Donate Car
rillo, anti-fascist workers, will go on
trial Friday in the same court on MUIR
der charges closely connected with
the Gilleti case. They are charged
with killing two fascists in the Bronx
last Decoration Day. During the
Gilleti trial it was brot out that he
was at first threatened with the
charge of killing the two fascists for
whose death Greco and 'Carrillo are
to be tried. The dead men were Jo-
seph Carisi and Nicholas Amaroso.
After being locked up for delibera-
tions Tuesday night, the jury returned
to the court room on three occasions
to have testimony read to them.
Judge Cohn announced Gilleti would
be sentenced next Tuesday.
According to Gilleti's own testi-
mony, officers of the Fascist League
of North America conspired with po-
lice authorities and the Italian con-
sui at Chicago in an attempt to force
him by threats and torture to impli-
cate Carlo Tresca, head of the Anti
Fascist League, and others in un-
solved murder cases.
Frame-up Exposed.
His testimony was said yesterday
by James P. Cannon, secretary of the
International Labor Defense, to be a
complete exposure Of the frame-up
method of prosecution. By this
method, according to Cannon, the
Bronx County district attorney, the
police and the Fascist League are at
tempting to send Greco and Carrillo
to the New York State electric chair.
! Greco and Carrillo will be repre-
sented by Clarence Darrow, noted la
Dor and criminal trial lawyer, and

agreed to arbitrate to avert
strike. Since then they have
blocked every attempt to pro-
ceed with the arbitration.
William D. Mahon, national presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street and Electric Railway
employees, will be in Chicago Monday
at the request of local union officials.
The strike call is being withheld for
his sanction. Sentiment of the work
ers is overwhelmingly in favor of an
immediate strike. Their wrath
against the companies is all the great
er for their attempting to evade the
demands of the men and the wage
issue by stalling off arbitration. 1t
is doubtful if Mahon's failure to ap-
prove the walkout, should he decide
so, will prevent a strike. The work
ers demand an increase of Is cents
an hour to raise the scale to 80 cents.
''Mahon's presence here will not help
much unless there is immediate action
toward arbitration" William Quin-
Ian, president of the street car mems
union, declares.
Little attention has been paid to a
statement issued by Mayor Thomp-
son "that there would be no strike" I"
Nothing except movement toward ar
bitration by the companies will avert
it, officials of the union declare.
A special meeting of all traction
workers has been called for Dec. IA
by the executive boards of the two
unions. This will be the deadline date
for decision of the companies to ar
bitrate. Judge .Kickham Seaman,
workers arbitrator" is making elev-
enth hour attempts to have the COM
panies realize the determination of
the workers. So far his efforts have
been unavailing.
Calling Bosses Bluff.
"The men have lost patience be-
cause of the dilatory tactics en-
ployed to arbitrate and insist on a
strike or an immediate wage in
crease" said William Quinlan, presi-
dent of the Street Car Mems Local.
Elevated employees are not involved
in the wage dispute, but have prom
ised to strike in sympathy with the
surface car men.

REP PUbLICANS IN
DEADL OCK over
1928 CANDIDATE
Coolidge Word Now
Held to Be Final

WASHINGTON, Dec. Z. - Presi-
dent Coolidge has pretty well sue
ceeded today in convincing even the
most hard-boiled skeptic that he is
out of the 1928 presidential reckon
ing.
His re-statement to. the republican
national committee that he is not a
candidate, coupled with his advice to
the party to proceed vigorously to
the task of selecting another candi-
date" left those who have been lead
ing the "draft Coolidge" movement
but little ground to stand on.
Still Indefinite.
1t is true that Mr.. Coolidge did
not say, as he did not say last August,
that he would not accept nomina-
ton were it offered to him by the
republican convention next June. He
has never said that, and apparently
has no intention of saying ir.
An "Ohio Song" Candidate.
A great majority of the national
committee, as well as great major
ity of the republicans in congress,
however, were won over to the idea
that the president was not in the
race.
Dawes Plays Politi>s.
Vice-president Dawes, everywhere
considered a candidate, has announced
II am not a candidate" Herbert
Hoover has made no statement Of his
position, but his friends have been
actively promoting his candidacy;
Governor Frank o. Lowden has merely
stated "No man ever can run away
from the presidency; and Charles
E. Hughes has remained aloof and
silent, awaiting developments. Only
two men have actually announced
themselves as candidates since last
August-Senators Curtis of Kansas
and Willis of Ohio.
Most of the practical politicians now
here for the session of congress and
the meeting of the republican national
committee believe that the 1928 race
will settle down to contest between
Hoover, Hughes, and Dawes-Low-
den combination.

BARRING Smith

mittee Again Active

WASHINGTON, Dec After
barring Senator-elect Frank L. Smith
of Illinois, and reviving the famous
Reed slush fund committee the senate
this afternoon plunged into debate
over the seating of William S. Ware
of Pennsylvania, who also tried to
bribe his way into the senate.
The Ware supporters went into the
battle with heavy hearts in view of
the senate's action in denying Smith
his oath by the overwhelming major
ity of so to 80. The Reed committee
which instigated slush fund charges
in both the Pennsylvania and Illinois
senatorial primaries, was revived by
vote of 55 to 21, when the senate
ordered it to hold further hearings
on the charges against Smith.
The only concession won by Smith
came when the senate extended him
