UssR Boycotts Britain.

BERLIN, July a Anglo-Soviet
trade will come to a complete stop in
the very near future, according to
statements. from the Trade ConsFnis-
sary appearing in the Moscow press.
The stoppage of Anglo-Soviet trade
conforms with the declaration of the
Soviet Union that it would boycott
Britain after the tory government had
smashed the Anglo-Soviet Trade
Agreement and broken diplomatic re-
lations with the Soviet Union.
Although Premier Baldwin ex-
pressed the pious hope that trade be-
tween the USSR and Great Britain
would continue after the break, the
Soviet Union expressed its intention
of boycotting Britain. The ARGOS
raids proved to Soviet officials that
trade with tory Britain was not a
very safe business.
Better Credits In U. S. A.
The Soviet Union can trade on bet
ter terms and receive better credits
in the United States than in Great
Britain, according to statement in the
USSR. The Soviet Union has already
received a 300,000,000 mark credit
from Germany.
Exports from the Soviet Union dur
ing the first eight months of the cur
rent fiscal year are officially reported
as totalling 516,00O,000 rubles, while
exports for the same period last year
to only 421,000,000 rubles.
Imports dropped from 516,000,000
rubles for the same months last year
to All, 100000 rubles.

Riffians Fight Spain
On Continuous Battle
Front Across Morocco

MADRID, July An spite of
the severe censorship that stops
all news out of Morocco, which
Primo Di Rivera has several times
recently declared, Completely sub
dued," war office dispatch just
issued betrays that the country is
so far from submission that bat
tie line stretches across the coun-
try thru Yebals and Gomara reg
ions. The communique was a
boastful statement that "three
Spanish columns had stormed and
captured Bah Taxa (Which prev
ious statements had always treated
as already in Spanish hands) and
that the Riffians had lost a hum
dred prisoners and fifty dead.
Spanish losses were heavy, but not
enumerated, and the declaration
is then made, Spanish forces in
Yebala and Gomara have effected
junction and the front now con-
stitutes a continuous line"

CALL BY
JOINT BOARD OF
I.L.C.W. ISSUED

All active members of the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union are urged to be on the picket
line this morning in a statement is
sued by the Organization Depart
ment, Joint Board, Cloak and Dress
makers Union.
Pointing out the open alliance of
the bosses, right wing and the police,
the call urges the workers to sacri-
flee to the extreme to make victory
possible for the workers.
1t reads as follows:
ITO all active cloak and dressmak-
ers:
THE occurrences of the past week
have revealed again the perplexed
condition of the right wing bureauc-
racy. At the behest of the "The For
ward" and the corrupt officialdom of
the A. F. of L., more than 300 inno-
cent workers were sent to prison to
serve terms ranging from ten days
to eight months.
Open Alliance.
AN open alliance has been effected
between the right wing, the bosses,
Mayor Walker, Governor Smith, the
city magistrates and others in an eff
fort to crush the present strike.
This fight will end only when an
overwhelming victory is achieved. Be
ready to sacrifice yourself, if neces-
sary,, for the existence of the labor
movement. Early Tuesday morning
a huge picket demonstration will be
arranged before the shops where
members of the Joint Board are now
on strike.
Workers will meet at 16 West
2lst Street at o'clock. ."-Organiza-
tion Department.

EXPECT BEN GOLD
TO LEAD FURRIER
Line HERE TODAY

Ben Gold is expected to lead this
mornings picket line in the fur dis
trict when thousands of workers will
hold one of the largest demonstra-
tions since the beginning of the
strike.
The furriers will show by their
mass power that all the terrorism
of the police and the right wing
gangsters can not break their fighting
spirit in the struggle to advance
wages and working conditions.
after Tuesdays demonstration the
Matthew Wolls, McGradys and the
rest of the crowd will realize that
they cannot break the furriers union
in spite of all the forces they have
at their disposal" stated an active
striker yesterday.
To Be Released Today.
1t is hoped that today will see the
release on bail of many of the strik-
ers who are serving sentences rang
ing from five days to six months.
The attorney for the Joint Board
furriers' union in his appeal will
point out the open hostility dis
played by the magistrates in Jefferson
Market Court when they meted out
the sentences.
He will show how the attorney for
the right wing, Samuel Markowich,
at one occasion appeared as council
for the right wing and later told the
court that he was the lawyer for the
bosses. He said the latter when he
questioned the arrested pickets, try
ing to make them say things that
would result in their sentences be-
ing more severe.

USSR Textile Output
increasing Rapidly;
Tops Pre-War Level

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Tex-
tile production in the Soviet Union
is considerably above pre-war
level, according to the Soviet
Union Information Bureau.
Textile production in various
lines for first six months of the
current fiscal year October 1 to
March 81 shows an increase of
from 1876 to 34.1 per cent. The
building of new factories and the
use of new equipment is respon-
sible for the increase.
For the same period the output
of cotton cloth amounted to 1885,
900 meters, while the output of
woolen cloth reached the total of
42,288 meters.

S7,2OO,OOO LEVY
is OPPOSED BY
MANY ENGINEERS
Demand For Special
Convention Made

Especial to the Daily Worker).
CLEVELAND, July A flood Of
kilograms from members protesting
the unparalleled assessment of ST.
100000 placed upon them in des-
perate attempt to rescue the sinking
business enterprises of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, has
served to show the Inquiry Commit
tee of Ten and the convention itself
that there exists strong feeling in
the organization against throwing
good money after bad.
Arithmetical Exercises.
The membership quite evidently has
been doing some rapid exercises in
division and multiplication. It has
been discovered in cabs and round
houses that the assessment means
that each engineer. figuring Oh the
basis Of some 10000 effectives with
allowance for overhead of collection.
etc. will be required to kick in with
about S120.
This would not be so bad if it were
not for the fact that the membership
has been led to believe that as a re-
suit of the activities of the self
styled financial wizards at the head
of the union, it would receive divi-
dends instead of having to pay as
sessments.
Want Special Convention.
The opposition to the assessment
and the deep suspicion which pre-
walls among the membership since the
carefully censored disclosures have
been made, is expressing itself in the
demand for special convention.
1t is felt that the membership which
is called upon to pay the bills is en-
titled to much more detailed report
than has as yet been given as to the
real status of the far-flung "invest-
ments" made under the Stone-Pren-
ter leadership and which range from

in Poland.
Officers of the Polish Reserve, the
manifesto states, have been ordered
to complete their equipment and be
ready for an urgent call to action.
"The sharpshooters" and other fascist
organizations, with a total member
ship of 250,000, have been ordered to
prepare for an immediate emergen-
cy." Arms and munitions factories
are working at feverish speed, often
on two or three shifts, the manifesto
states.
Recent evidence submitted at the
trials of captured white guard bandits
proved that monarchists and British
spies have long used Polish territory
as a base for action against the
Soviet Union. The Pilsudski regime
has openly encouraged Ukrainian
white guard bandits, according to
statement recently issued by a promi-
nent member of the Polish Chamber
of Deputies.
The leniency with which the Polish
authorities dealt with Kowceda, the
murderer of Voikoff, Soviet minister
to Poland, is also regarded as evil
dence of the openly anti-USSR policy
pursued by the Pilsudski regime.

u. S. DELEGATION
AT CENE:vAREADY
WITH I'LL TIMATUM
Conference Probably to
Break Down Soon

GENEVA, July 4.-The American
delegation to the disarmament" con-
ference is utilizing the holidays in
preparation of what in plain language
would be called an ultimatum to
England, that unless the latter's
cruiser program is modified i'm
mediately, the United States will en-
bark on an armament race, with un-
limited building of cruisers and prob
ably of battleships also.
Many, including the highly skepti
cal French observers" see this as
the real reason for the existence of
the conference. That is, impossible
conditions will be laid down to the
British and Japanese, and when the
conference breaks up in disagree
ment, the way will be clear for the
Coolidge administration to go before
the American voters with the argu-
ment; "We offered to limit navies,
and Britain and Japan will not con-
sent, therefore national security de-
mands that we build Immediately and
extensively" Then, as the more or
less mysterious admiral B" who
tells in the French papers all the Sc
crets Of the supposedly confidential
causes held among the delegates,
says, there will be joyful activity
among munitions makers and ship
gard owners"
Small Ships Advantage.
The British held a conference a few
days ago and formulated in highest
secrecy q program for 100000 tons
of cruisers for both United States
and England, all of them to aisplace /
Under $500 tons apiece. TIL. being
duly reported by Admiral ~ has
been pncomfortahly a eSSe. be
lSf lstIlslt- tely colsfee5 ~ cns Z rrtisn
delegates. The Joker, as all can see,
is that the large number of small
size cruisers asked for, gives England,
with her abundance Of fueling and
naval stations, an enormous advan-
tage, since neither the United States
nor Japan can send such small ships
far enough to do much damage to
the widespread British empire.
u .. fOr big OneS.
On the other hand, the American
proposal for only 100000 tons of /
cruisers with an upper limit of 10000
tons will enable the United States to
compete equally with England any
where in the beginning of the war,
and give time for the superior eco
nomic power of the Americans to out |
build England during the early
months of the conflict.
Both these proposals are, for home
consumption, disguised as economy.
Britain says, "Why build large cruis-
ers--you don't need big ships to
crush colonial rebellions."
Hugh Gibson, head of the Ameri-
caan delegation says, "Great Britain
is playing a dangerous game-pro- /
posing to build twice as many ships
as the United States desires" and his
experts will present the British with
a threat to declare all limits off and
build in open rivalry to England. To-
will probably bring the con-
elusive clash.

Light FINGERS"
BY Frank Lord.
(Bobbs Merrill. $1,000

Frank Lord brings the product of
richly varied experience to this strik-
ing first novel, which should estab-
lish him as a figure to be reckoned
with among the writer's of America.
A Minnesota school teacher in his
early years, he has since served as
Deputy Police Commissioner of New
York City, where he had charge of
the detective bureau, and was an as
sistant district attorney. Light
Fingers" is a study of the criminal
and the prison from a new angle; the
angle of a man whose heart knows the
deepest sympathy with the unfortu-
nate caught in the prison system,
victim of mistaken ideas and of an
iron environment.
Sammy Leaubeau, the little son of
Fingers Anne" Leaubeau, convicted
shop litter, was born in prison. He
was expected to be criminal by all
those wise men who study criminology
heredity, and the allied sciences Of
penology. They did not know that
Anne was the sweetest and cleanest
of women in her heart, and that she
had been accidentally condemned to
a life outside the law. Sammy knew,
and all his life he struggled to be all
that his little mother wished him to
be, though she was shut out from nor
NAL beauty and experience. The life
of the great city and the Minnesota
farm combine in Sans development.
The book is tragic, dramatic, hopeful
and intensely human.
