out that the freeing of these men who
had been so penalized was absolutely
Necessary to the whole labor move

'If these workers can be put be-
hind prison bars, separated from
their wives and children, for their
picketing activities during a strike"
said Louis Hyman, general manager
of the Cloakmakers Joint Board. 'no
worker will be safe in future labor
struggles.
"All the labor forces Of the coun-
try must be made to realize that an
injustice to these cloakmakers in New
York is blow at workers every
where. If judge with the known
prejudiees Of Judge Otto Rosalsky is
allowed to impose such unprecedented
prison terms, without a protest from
the workers, judges in other parts Of
the country will quickly follow his
example. Such a practice must be
stopped now before it spreads"
Gold Scores ROsalsly.

Sigman's Excuse.
In a press statement yesterday,
President Sigman announces that with
the signing of the dress agreement
10000 cloak and dress makers can
rest secure in their livelihood for two
years to come" He says the "union
will now devote itself to rehabilitate
its strength and morals which have
been admittedly undermined by the
disastrous conduct of the cloak strike
in which S3,5O0,0O0 was expended by
the Communist leaders" Such wild
charges have many times been re-
futed by Joint Board officials, but it
is not unexpected to find them Of
fered as excuses for treason.
What the dressmakers think of such
explanations and the prospect of
resting secure" in the sort of agree
ment that Sigman has handed the
manufacturers, will be fully expressed
at Webster Hall tonight.

British Tories
Plan to Outlaw
Strike Weapon
Kings" HypOcriticaI Speech
On Chinese Situation

LONDON, Feb. 6.-King George
will declare new session of Parlia-
ment open on Tuesday, the ceremony
being characterized by the usual pOmp
and splendor.
His speech which the cabinet fin
ished last Friday win be most inn
portant from an international view
point in its references to China.
The speech insists that British ag-
gression in China is Of defensive
character, and that the government is
in sympathy with the national aspira-
tions of the Chinese as long as they
are not inconsistent with legitimate
British interests"
Silent On Latin-America.
It is not believed that the King will
refer to the disturbances in Mexico
and Nicaragua, this silence being a
result of the deal which assures
Britain of United States support in
China.
In the domestic field the govern
ment has placed at the forefront of
it's program for the coming session
bill which strikes at the heart of
trade unionism by declaring the strike
region illegal. The speech will make
distinction between economic
strikes and political" strikes, but
this is only a distinction without a
difference since every strike of any
consequence takes on a political
character.
Extremists of the conservative
party are seeking to deprive the un-
ions of the right to use their funds
for political purpose tut the cabinet
take the risks of alternating all the
support Of the workers by any such
drastic measure.
Thousands of trade unionists still
support Tory candidates and a party
caucus has resolved not to invite de-
feat at the next general election by
driving these voters into the Labor
Party.
Slams U. S. Movies.
ANOTHER domestic measure which
the "King's" speech will mention is a
bill compelling film exhibitors to show
small percentage of British made
films, thus forbidding all-American
programs in theaters.
1t is predicted the treasury will in
sist on an extension of the income
tax to the huge profits made from
American films exhibited in Britain.

Kellogg's action in addressing HIM

Political observers see in Kellogg's
move an attempt to steal a diplomatic
march on the Cantonese. They ex-
pect Chang-Tso-Lin and Sun Chuan
Fang to agree to the Kellogg demands
since they are tools of the imperial
lists and have no interest in tearing
China loose from foreign clutches.
On the other hand a cardinal prin-
ciple in the Cantonese program is
the wrestling of control of those in

Meanwhile the movement of marines
