CLIFFORD P|NCHOT
 STILL VERY ACTIVE
Becomes ''Miitant Citizen" h. stead Of Militant Governor

Harrisburg, Pa. Jan. 2S (Pl-Gif- ford Pinchot. militant governor of Pennsylvania, has been succeeded by Clifford Pinchot, militant citizen of Pennsylvania and the nation. with leadquarters in Washington.
 Upon completion of his term, Jan. S., Mir. Pinchot turned from. the battles Of fighting executive to those Of a public spirited citizen, interested in law enforcement, farm relief. Southern industrial develop ment. and conservation of national resources.
 AS for Pennsylvania politics, he said. Just because I am going to my home in Washington which was built in 1900, do not wish any one to believe that I intend to cease my fight for clean election in Pennsyl- vania. I am 61 now, and think that have 10 years left to fight for them"
 He is doubtful as to whether he will ever again seek or accept pub lie office, either elective or appoin- tive.
 One of hs primary interests will be the furtherance of the Muscle Shoals power project along lines he considers most probably effective.
 I was the first to make public protest against Henry Ford's offer to develop Muscle Shoals" he de- clared, land other offers are now before Congress. I wish to keep in touch with what is done, because Muscle Shoals is the key to the in dustrial development of the South. Proper development and distribu- ton of the power will place that region on its feet"

MINSTREL SHOWS
 SEEMINGLY DOOMED
Demand for Old Entertainment
 Is Passing

Atlanta, Jan. 2S LP - Old time minstrel shows are doomed but girl ie revues and movies will never drive the black face comedian from vaudeville.
 Mcintyre and Heath. among the last of the veteran headliners, are convinced of this. For more than half a century they have been, ca- vorting beneath the smudge of cork. only in recent years to witness the gradual decline of minstrelsy.
 There was a time when hundreds of minstrel companies roamed the land. Their coming to town was the big event of the season. Now the number has dwindled to few and only the cities and important towns are played.
 Tt was impossible for us to com- pete with pretty girl revues and movies" said Mcintyre, who made his first stage appearance here back in 1870. But don't you believe the black face comedian will ever leave vaudeville Ours is strictly American art, which fills a place in American life that nothing can dislodge.
 People like us in the South be- cause they sympathize with us. They like us in the North and West because negro life still is novel to them"
 In witnessing three generations Of actors come and go, Mcintyre has seen many changes In stage life.
 Tn the olden days after the show was over, all we actors in town would gather at some beer garden and exchange stories over a brimming full glass.
 "'Joe', I'd say to a fellow actor, we need a good gag for such and such place. Joe'd think a minute and come out with cracking good joke. We In turn would tell him q good one for his next stop. Noth- ing like that now. After the nights performance everybodys gone until the next show.
 Neither are players as versa tile as they where when man had to play several parts a night. But salaries now are much better"

PLAN POTASH TRUST.

Berlin (UP)-A semi-official re- port from Moscow announces that the Soviet government has decided to establish new Russian potash trust for the production of potash salts. It is stater that the Ural and Solikam regions possess immense deposits of potash, which are avail able at one-third of the depth of the rich deposits of Alsatia and Ger many. It is declared that one square mile of territory in the Ural potash fields affords a yield five times greater than a similar area in AL satia.

evolutionary armies in China. Now
American and British marines have
perpetrated in cold blood the massa-
ere Of defenseless Chinese working
men and working women at Marking.
The notorious bandit and imperialist
tool, Chang Tso-lin. has been ordered
to make an unwarranted attack on
the Soviet Union in Picking. Chang
Kai-shek has been induced to attack
the Chinese labor movement. Every
effort has been made to make it APP
pear that the war, when 1t breaks
out, has been caused by the Chinese
labor movement or by the Soviet
Union.
Soviet Union for Peace.
But the Soviet government, being
a republic of workers and farmers,
has foiled the maneuvers of the bank
ers and imperialists. The Soviet Re-
public, struck for peace by merely
withdrawing its representatives from
the seat of the imperialist puppet,
Chang Tso-lin. Every capitalist gov
eminent in the world would have de-
clared war instantly for far less prov
ocation than this outrageous attack.
On the heels of this there came the
criminal ultimatum of the British.
American, Japanese, French and
italian imperialists demanding imme-
date heavy payments and humiliating
apologies by the Cantonese for the
supposed losses suffered by foreign
ers while British and American de-
stroyers We're bombarding Marking.
Chang Kai-shek-TraitOr.
Now the infamous imperialist eff
forts to split the Kuomintang, to
throw the revolutionary forces into
chaos, have come to light in all their
ugliness. Chang Kai-shek, the COM
mander of the Cantonese military
forces, has surrendered to the impe-
rialists. Chang Kai-shek has declared
war on the best fighters Of the Chi
nese revolution by making a MUIR
derous assault upon the laborers, the
trade unions of Shanghai, wounding
and killing hundreds of workers after
disarming them.
All of these events are only links
in the chain the imperialists have
been forging for Intervention in and
destruction of revolutionary China,
for an attack upon the Soviet Union
lin short for the bringing on of
colossal world war.

its hostility to revolutionary Chinese

1T is time to deliver a death blow
to the power Of the black legion in
the unions. The workers in jail must
be torn from the clutches of their So

breadwinners are imprisoned must be
furnished relief.

must be raised at once. Regardless
of your condition, we call upon you

of secret debate the independent labor
party conference at Leicester today
decided not to renominate the former
labor premier as treasurer Of the Brit
ish Labor Party.
Macdonald Beaten to /.
The executive committee has failed
to recommend his appointment and
motion to reconsider the matter was
lost by vote Of 312 to 1ls. The de-
cision seriously undermines his au-
thority among the working class ele-
ment who have now openly brolen
with him.
During the course Of the acrimon-
ious debate today, Fenner Brockvay,
secretary Of the Independent Labor
Party, declared that Macdonald no
longer represented their leading poll
cies. He said
"MacDcnald's attitude on China
is contrary TO the views Of the ma
iOrity of the members of the In
dependent Labor Party. His lead
ership generally is not robust
enough. We want socialism in our
time and MacDonaId's tactics are
not in that direction"
Brockway also complained that
Macdonald had not adopted the stan
dard living wage program Of the par
ty.
Emanuel Shinwell, defending the abb
sent chief, declared that after all he
had done for the labor movement he
"does not deserve to be cast out to
the wolves"
James Maxton, presiding at the con-
ference, said the party demands an
all-round wage increase Of twenty per
cent for workers.

Weisbords return to Passaic was
hailed with unrestrained JOY by over
1000 textile workers packed into

members of the Workers (Com-

echo in their demand for justice for
