lockout of the railway employees by
the labor government for refusing tc

gress was convened by the Brisbane
Trades and Labor Council.
At the Congress the Queensland La.
Dor Government was severely con.
demned. The following resolution
carried by the congress is very sig
nificant:
THAT this congress recognizes
the failure of the Political Labor
Party and the @. E. c. is due to
the reformist policy of the Aus
, tralian Labor Party. 1t is evident
in times of industrial upheaval that
the interests of the people become
the interests of property; therefore
congress declares that recognition
of the class-struggle and active
participation on behalf of the
workers must be the basis of work
ing-class politics"
Hit Reformists.
The congress further declared it's
opposition to the formation of dual
labor party, but decided to utilize the
existing machinery of the Labor
Party to GUST the present leaders and
make the Labor Party give a better
expression of workingclass principles.
The Communist Party, while not
opposing this, point out that the
workers can only be emancipated by
overthrowing the capitalist system by
revolutionary mass action under the
leadership of the Communist Interna-
tional

Canadians Crab R. R.
Lines as MGxiCanS
Must ObIige Morgan

OTTAWA, Dec. 16, - Declaring
that the Mexican government, en-
barrassed financially and unable to
meet payments on it's loan from j. P.
Morgan and Co., is about to turn over
it's national railway system to a
group of Canadian capitalists, the
Ottawa Journal asserts that the re-
cent visit of Sir Henry Thornton to
Mexico was for the purpose of facili-
tating the sale.
Having exhausted its liquid assets
and being still in default" the Jour
nal states, "the Gales government
opened up negotiations to sell the
Mexican railroads to a group of Can
adam capitalists who have for many
years held valuable concessions in the
Mexican republic, and who operate
electric railways, electric light and
electric power companies there"
MOrgan's Ambassador.
The Morgan loan was secured by the
Mexican consular fees and the Next
can government, fearing that the fees
would soon be used up has transferred
its funds to a Canadian bank in New
York. The appointment of Dwight
W. Morrow as American ambassador
to Mexico is seen as the Morgan
firms attempt to fasten a stronger
grip on the country by means of a
commercial treaty which is not ac-
ceptable to Mexico.

U.S.S.R. Can Give TiD

"The United States can take a tip
from Russia" says Mary Winsor, edi-
tor of Equal Rights" who has been
studying conditions in Russia with the
American Investigation Committee.
The one-hundred and fifty year old
American Constitution compares I'M
favorably with the ten-year old Rus

free for expectant working mothers,
freedom from compulsory labor for
women of less than eighteen or more
than forty and mothers with young
children, escape from particularly
hard and injurious" work for preg-
nant women and those with infants.
Women and children are always the
last to be discharged, she explains.
Full wages during a long vacation
before and after childbirth are also
paid, she explained.

SWAP AT BRAND,
MUSSOLINI MEET
Italy May Get Syria in
Colonial Trading

PARIS, Dec. 16.-Mussolini in
formed his Cabinet Council ;oday that
he is willing to meet Foreign Minister
BRAND of France in an attempt to
settle the difference between the two
countries, according to dispatches re-
ceived here from Rome. The meet
ing which is expected to take place in
March or April, will be discussion
of the colonial problems of the two
countries.
That the Balkan situation and Ital-
ian encroachments in North Africa
will be discussed at the meeting is
almost certain. France is particularly
anxious to settle the North African
question in view of the growing
Italian influence in Tunis and the
recent demonstration of the Italian
fleet at Tangier.
The recent action of the French
Government in suppressing the lead
ing anti-Fascist paper in Paris is
generally conceded to be a bid for
better relations with Italy.
According ito rumors circulated
here, France may offer Italy, Syria,
which Italy has long desired, if Italy
gives France clear field in the Bal
kans.
ROME, Dec. 16.-In contrast with
the hostile stand hitherto taken by the
Italian press toward France, news
papers here are hailing the Musso-
lini statement that a Franco-Ltalian
agreement "is possible, useful and in
deed almost necessary"

A Good Example
Of official Corruption

WILLS, Legislative Repre-
wv sentative of the Locomo-
tive Engineers at Wash
ington, has been an official of
the union for almost SO years.
His salary was $S,5 500 per year.
Not content with this, plus a
large political slush fund for
which he was not required to
make accounting, he charged
the union $500 per day for
hotel expenses although he
was living at home. At pres
ent he is 70 years old. At the
age of 70 he became eligible
for pension, 200 of his salary.
For nine years he drew this
pension money although he
was on full time salary. Mr..
Wills, a typical black reac-
-tionary, is reputed to be worth
100000. He was fired from
tctiVe service by the conven-
don in Cleveland, which last
ed for six weeks and cost the
railroad workers a half mil
lion dollars. The full details,
making dramatic reading, are

18TH STREET BAN ON HORSES
UPHELD BY COURT OF APPEALS
Justice Barber Dissents From Opinion
Concurred In by Martin and Robb
Eldridges Power Defended.

Harvey Wheeler and Fenton Goldman,
arrested for driving a horse drawn
vehicle on Sixteenth street. The Dis
trict, of Columbia sued out a writ of
error, which has been sustained by
the majority opinion.
The appellate court holds that the
claim that the traffic act relates en-
tirely to motor vehicles does violence
as well to the language as to the
obvious scope and purpose of the act.
1t is pointed out that the director is
given power to regulate the speed and
parking of all vehicles and for the
registration of motor vehicles.
Judge Barber devotes II pages to a
dissenting opinion, in which he sus-
tains the finding of Judge Mcmahon
that the act does not refer to horse
drawn vehicles and asserts that the
ma iority opinion in excluding such
vehicles makes the act prohibitory and
not regulatory.
Even if such conflict does not exist,
he says, the regulation is invalid, be-
cause Congress has not delegated any
power to the director to exclude per-
manently horse drawn vehicles from
Sixteenth street.
