workers of all countries:
Three hundred thousand German
metal workers are threatened with
lockout prepared by the German steel
magnates as a reply to the demand OF
the workers for the restoration Of the
eight hour day stolen from them IN
1923.
Urges United Action.
"The leaders of the German metal
workers union are also the leaders OF
the Berne international who helped
to abolish the eight hour day and who
claimed that the establishment OF an
international steel trust helped bring
''peace among nations" These lead
ers cannot and will not undertake
struggle for the eight hour day. We
urge that the capitalist offensive be
countered with a united militant front
of the German working class.
"All metal workers, miners, trans
port workers must be modified i'm
mediately. A militant alliance of
these basic unions must be formed.
Immediate preparations for united ac-
ton of workers of other countries is
necessary-particularly among work
ers employed by steel trusts.
International scabbing must be pre-
vented. The struggle against the long
German working day is a struggle for
the preservation of the eight hour
day in France, Belgium, the Saare
Basin. and in other countries.
Prevent Scabbing.

workers, transport workers, miners Of
all countries, your task is to prevent
scabbing. Not a ton of scab coal, pig

War Danger Turks in the Pacific

by the imperiahst policy of Suzuki
and officially acts in accordance
Herewith. They oppose the Hyogikai
with a greater ferocity than they exert
against the employers. The Centrists
are in tragic position, for while
claiming to differ from the Hyogikai
and to profess revolutionary princi-
pies, they often find themselves, in
practice, supporting reaction, but at
the same time strenuously denying any
such intentions. This is always the
case with Centrists who desire an iso-
lated role, This position can never
be lasting one. The dynamics of the
class struggle will inject turmoil into
any Centrist camp and sides will be
taken in a crisis. This is why there
is great need for conciliatory effort to
draw all revolutionary workers into
one organization.
Capitalist Rivalry.
America and Japan are the two
dominant imperialist countries with
their borders on the Pacific. Here
again rivalry between the capitalists
exists. But there should be no rivalry
between the workers who possess
nothing but common enemy, the
capitalist class. The imperialists of
Japan and America have one common
policy as far as the exploitation of la
Dor is concerned,-to obtain the
greatest amount of surplus value from
the dispossessed masses. In our eff
forts to prevent war in the Pacific it
is important that we obtain unity of
purpose within the trade union move
ments in these two important i'm
perialist countries and which will ul-
timately lead to a strengthening Of
the workers movement.
In the exploited and suppressed
countries of the East, efforts are be-
ing made to strengthen the trade
unions under exceedingly difficult
circumstances. The American revo-
lutionary workers must lend aid to
the Philippine organizations and as
sist them to solidify their trade
union movement. Scores of small
unions exist, which, if united, could
more effectively resist Americas inn
perialistic attacks. BY aiding colonial
workers to build trade unions and to
help unite them where they have a
scattered existence is real revolution
airy work in the class struggle against
all forms of capitalist war.
What applies to the American revo-
lutionary workers applies with equal
force to the Japanese, the Dutch and
British workers. In Korea and For
mosa, French Indo-C China, Java and
the Malay Settlements, India and Chi
na,--all over this huge eNpanse Of
territory and its adjacent islands, en-
bracing approximately 1000,000,000
people, the masses of slaves and semi
slaves are prohibited from freely as
sociating in trade unions as they are
understood in the canitalist countries
of the west.

IIcNary Bill or NothinS.

The old McNary Elaugen farm-reief
bill. with its equalization fee principle
is the demand of the Corn Belt and
Southern Farm Conference, meeting
in St. Louis. In resolutions adopted
Yesterday it urged Congress to repass
the bill. which President Coolidge We
toed. The boom of former Gov. Fra
| o. Lowden of Illinois for the Republi
can nomination for President took i'm
mediate form after the veto of the
farm bill. Mr.. Lowden was put for
| ward as the protest candidate of the
farm organizations and some of the
disgruntled farm States Of the Middle
West. His candidacy was directly In
| opposition to the denomination OF
President Coolidge.
President Coolidge, by his Black
Hills statement that he did not choose
to run for President in 1928, cut
the ground from under the feet of
the Lowden boomers and McNary-
Haugenites. But they apparently have
rallied again. They will continue to
insist on their program OF IIowdeh
for President and the McNary-HauSen
bill as the only remedy for agricul-
tural depression.
The Lowden boomers at the ST.
Louis meeting took a further STEP
which may cause them trouble in the
near future. They attacked Senator
Borah of Idaho, one of the leaders OF
the group of Progressive Republican
Senators which has banded together
to promote a program of legislation
for the West and which has put for
ward Senator Norris as the real west
ern candidate for the Republican pres

that this group of Republican Pro-
gressives has little use for Mr.. Low

no secret that these Senators. who are
powerful politically in their own
States, will do all they can to under

scarcely be expected to aid Mr.. Low

A Judicial Absurdity.

Two men have been sentenced to
"road duty" at Winston Salem, n. c.,
because they would not send their
children TO school. On the face of the
sentence it appears to be Just. But
there is background TO the case that
gives It a different aspect. These
men. farmers, were quite willing to
send their children to school. as the
law requires, but they wished to have
the school bus stop for the youngsters
4at their roadside homes. and when this
was denied, they refused to require
the children to walk two hundred
yards to the regular bus stop. So they
were haied TO court and punished.
1t is. OF course. reprehensible that
the children should be kept from
school. But just why the bus driver
would not stop for them except at q
specified point is not clear. The schoo
bus is a facility provided to enable the
children to get To school. 1t surely
matters little or nothing Just where Il

An Alert Traffic Officer.

A refreshing example Of alert traffic
direction was noted today at Eleventh
and + streets in the early morning
rush. With cars streaming down
Eleventh street two and three abreast,
this officer refused to follow the hide
bound dictates of archaic traffic con.
troll which stipulate that all vehicles
must pass to the right Of a semaphore
and not venture on to the car tracks
but, sizing up the situation at a glance,
waved the oncoming outside line on to
the railway tracks and in front of a
semaphore. This action provided for
an additional line OF cars and quickly
cleared up what might have been a
block-long congestion.
II this officers example were followed
by other members of the traffic squad,
there would be fewer traffic jams. In
fact. wide-awake and vigorous traffic
direction can be carried a step further
to avert threatening congestion. On
narrow streets it is perfectly silly to
compel drivers of automobiles to circle
the officer standing in the middle of
the intersection. Far more to the point
would 1t be to direct all vehicles to
make the short turn In front OF him.
This practice is followed in many Of
the large cities.

Pardon and Parole
Important Problem
To the Editor OF The Star.

To the Editor of The STAR.
Many Of Americas foremost pencil
ogists are now convinced that the most
important problem confronting crime
organizations at the present time is
the subject of parole. ] noticed this
particularly at the convention of the
American Prison Association, held last
August in Tacoma, Wash. A day was
given over to pardon and parole ques-
tions, the most important address, be-
ing delivered by John Philip Bramer,
New York parole custodian and chair
man of the committee on pardon and
parole for three terms, and considered
by many to be the foremost authority
ON the subject in the United States.
Mr.. Bramer's address, which was in
the form of the yearly report of his
committee. was modelled closely to the
general outline followed in his book,
Parole" published by the Irving
Press, in New York City. Mr.. Bramer
- the first person to write a complete
treatise on the subject. and his labors
cannot be too highly recommended.
He contends that the mass treat.
ment OF the offenders of yesterday
should at this time be supplanted by a
system whose chief concern is the sal
vaging of the individual. He believes
s"". " ScieHtiuC parole system Is the
best means to this end. and that the
most essential prerequisite for success
Is an efficient administrations, coupled
with recognized methods of modern
social case work.
mo State will long tolerate a parole
system In which public confidence Is
hacking because of its organization and
administration. MIR. Bramer asserts
nut every State faces tremendous
opportunity In the field Of social sal
wage and crime prevention through an
enicient parole organization and ad-
minlstration. The results of such q
system represent savings, not only In
