Wilbur WILLING
TO HAVE WRECKS

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 26. = As
serting that ''it is the first duty of
a submarine crew to watch for sur
face craft" and that Surface craft
were not warned that a submarine
was near because the military eff
cheney of submarine requires that
it find surface craft ITSELF" Secre-
tary of the Navy Wilbur washed his
hands of the responsibility for the
death of the forty men in the S-4
crew.
Wilbur, while on his way back from
an inspection of diving operations
which are expected to put three
chains under the sub and raise her
some time this winter, enunciated the
savage theory that hereafter subs
and surface craft can collide if they
don't watch out, so far as the bureau
cracy safe in padded chairs in the
Navy Department is concerned.
Forty coffins wait for the S-4 when
she shall be floated at last to
Charlestown navy yard. 1t is rather
expected that some divers will be lost
in the salvaging operations.

RIGHT WINGERS
HAVE 4 JAILED

DONORA, Pa, Dec. 26.-Four
workers were arrested in the town of
Donora on the 18th of December and
charged with "sedioion."
Some members of the Croatian
Fraternal Union were angry over
the winning of the elections by the
left wing of the lodge, they tele-
phoned to the police that these work
ers were lot of "reds" and Boil
sheviki and should be arrested.
This the police believed and they
proceeded to plan in regular Sherlock
Holmes style.
The result of this is that four
workers: Nick Knezovich, Ivan Ceh,
Joe Hitiak and Matt Garretto were
held under 81 900 bail and will have
a hearing before Squire Jas. P. Cast
ner at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of
January the 10th. M. D. Anderson
has been retained by the workers to
look after their Interests.

KELLOGG DENIES
HIRING AVILLA

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The for
gerry scandals against Mexico have
forced the office of Kellogg, Secre-
tary of state, to issue a denial that
his department or former Ambas-
sador Sheffield trafficked in forged
documents. The state department
denies that Miguel Avilla, the chief
forger thus far uncovered in the
senate committees investigation into
the Hearst forgeries, was ever en-
ployed by the department or by
Sheffield in Mexico.
In this denial Kellogg did not ex-
plain the source of his information"
upon which Under Secretary of State
Olds in November, 1926, impaired to
press correspondents. Olds told the
press in confidence" that President
Gales of Mexico was known to be
fomenting a plot to create "Bolshe-
visit hegemony" over Latin America
and that he had evidence to SUBJ
stantiate his charges. This interview

''The Colorado miners are fighting

"and thereby they are fighting for

The attempts of the coal barons and
their hirelings to break the strike by
jailing the leaders and active spirits

from one state to the other under

Friday night the two anti-fascists
walked out of the Bronx County court
room free men, after being confined
forS over five months in their cells in
the jail adjoining the courthouse. So
overjoyed were they at the verdict of
the jury which had listened to the
carefully coached witnesses groomed
by the local fascist, that they naarly

the defense table, did not disguise
their happiness at their victory.

Protest Against Canton
Massacres Growing
Especial to The Daily Worker.)

Especial to The Daily Worker.)
MOSCOW, Dec. 26.-That Great
Britain has actually placed three
million pounds sterlng at the disposal
of a number of reacuonary generals
in southern China is the charge maze
in an editorial appearing IN the
Pravda. The text OF the fravda edl-
torial follows in full:
"Great Britain is the most bitter
enemy of the Chinese toiIers, and
within these last few days she has
increased her supplementary crealUs
for intervention IN CHINA and has ac-
tually placed three million sterling at
the command of the South Chinese
Generals.
Everybody in China sees that
Chang Kai-shek and his associates
are Chamberlain's lackeys. With the
u. S. S. R. having no aggressive I'M
perialistic designs in China, the Nank-
ing rulers break off relations, while
they fraternize with the imperialists.
The Representatives of the only coun-
try which realized the principle of
equal rights with China are murdered
by Marking scoundrels while the lat
ter sell themselves wholesale and re-
tail to the worst enemies of China S
independence.
Workers Will Struggle.
"By the infamous murders of our
comrades it is impossible to destroy
,1 fho Nv Of ln
u. S. S. R. in the eyes of the Chinese
people. A break with the U. S. S. r.
will make this authority still more
powerful. The hatred of the workers
and peasants against the masters |
Chang Kai-shek will grow. The
fighting spirit of the Chinese Com
munist Party will be hardened, the
great historical initiative of the Can
tonese workers will not. be lost.
"Soviet Canton, torn to pieces by
blood thirsty henchmen, will rise
again. All further struggle of the
Chinese workers and peasant masses
will proceed under the slogan so
viets! Struggle will not cease until
the Fundamental problems of the Chi
nese Revolution are sowed by the
workers. A powerful tide of protest
is rising throughout the toiling masses
of the U. S. S. R., and the U. S. S. R.,
undoubtedly will be supported by the
international proletariat."
Protest Growing.
Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Yer
khneudinsk, Kazan, and numerous
other cities have held mass meetings
to protest against the white terror in
Canton. Voicing the readiness to de-
fend peaceful policy the resolutions
were adopted at these meetings with
a call to strengthen the ties with the
revolutionary workers and peasants
of China and render them every moral
support.

Five of the six cooperative apart
ment houses built by the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers Union have
tcen formally opened.
Three of these buildings, which are
on Van Cortlandt Park South. are
fully occupied, while the other two
are partially tenanted. A dinner for
500 guests was held at Ambassador
Hall, Third Ave. and Claremont Park
way, Sunday, in celebration of the
opening.
The six buildings were erected at
a total cost of $1,825, 900, and certain
accommodations for 303 families.

is made a tenant is required to pay

Many worke 3r't out, however,
that the mem the Amaiga-

that only the leaders are celebrating
the opening of the houses. The work
ers remember the great mass celebra-
ton held at the opening of the Anal

stitution now serving the needs of the
clothing manufacturers and not the
