FederaIS in Battle

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 12.-Counter-
revolutionary bands commanded by
Felix Barajas and Damasco Felix We're
severely defeated by federal troops in
the State of Jalisco, it was learned
today.
More than a hundred reactionaries,
among them a Catholic priest, Jose
Cabrales, were killed in battle with
Federal troops commanded by General
Avila Comancho. The Federal troops
took large quantities of dynamite and
ammunition from the counter-revolu-

Several defeats for counter-revolu-
tionists in the State of Michigan We're
also reported to the War Department
by General Juan Dominguez. A large
force of counter-revolutionists is be-
lieved to have concentrated in Micho-.

vACA FLAYS
IMPERIALISM AT
CONCESSION MEET
Describe Nicarag-uan
Cuban Dictatorships

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-That an
other massacre Of Nicaraguan Lib
erals by bombing from American air
planes may soon be announced, was
the prediction made by DR.. T. C. Vaca,
Liberal spokesman in this country.
At the opening sessions Of the Foreign
Concessions Conference held by the
Autobiography League here. He
showed that $50 Nicaraguans have
been killed since last May in the
"pacification" of his country, while
large numbers of suspected sympa-
thizers with the SANDING revolution
lists have been taken prisoners and set
to hard labor or mistreated in prison.
He declared that American control
over Nicaragua is ''the death-warrant
of the much dreamed Central Amer
lean Republic.
Brands Cuban Dictatorship.
DR.. Flora Diaz Parade, a Cuban
lawyer, flayed the Machado regime,
saying that President Machado, acting
as spokesman for American investors
in the sugar, railroad and other basic
industries, has set up ruthless die
tatorship. She reviewed the assas-
sination of liberal editors and labor
leaders who dared criticize or oppose
Machado's plans.
Robert H. Murray, former CORE
spondent Of the New York World in
Mexico, said that Our Department
Of State forces our diplomatic agents
to serve as diplomatic DULLES, col
lection agents and shyster lawyers" in
Mexico, because American investors
in that republic are not compelled, un-
der normal hazards of business, TO
stand on their own feet.
Coerce Mexico.
"This action" he said, commits
the people of the United States, with
out their knowledge and against the
will of the majority of them, to
policies which breed potential wars.
The United States government has
attempted to coerce Mexico by threat
ening Intervention on behalf not only
of American but of British companies.
In 1912 it did this with respect to con-
cessions held by two British concerns,
though the Doheny and other Ameri-
can interests were involved"
Murray then told of recent litiga
ton over 100000 acres of land in the
zone where foreigners ownership of
land is prohibited. The lawyer for
the American corporation that sought
title was former American cabinet
officer, son of a former President.
(The only man who meets this de-
scription is James Garfield Of Ohio).
When he lost, his case in the courts he
induced the State Department to de-
mand that title be given to his client
anyhow, The department "is still
bullying the Mexican government over
this case"

Bukharin in Report Sees Revival
of the Chinese Revolution

Considerable revival in the revolu-
tionary movement is noticeable.
"a real Soviet government is be-
ing organized in many districts and
is fighting war against the gentry
and all counter-revolution forces.
Different Tactics.
"Many problems are facing the
Communist International in the
sphere of colonial policy which is
thoroly tested by the Chinese expert
ence. Caution is necessary in deter
mining concrete tactics concerning in
dividual colonial countries. The tao
tics applicable to India must radically
differ from the tactics in China, be-
cause in India where an alliance of
the Indian bourgeoisie and British
imperialism exists, class correlations
are entirely different than with the
| Chinese.
"The colonial problem is of ire
mendous Importance also because it
serves as the object for the gather
ing of all revolutionary forces in
colonial countries. The Anti-Im-
perialist League of Colonial Peoples
gains ever greater sympathies among
the colonial masses. The colonial
| problem in recent years assumed such
Importance that the Executive Com
mittee Of the Communist Intena-
tional decided to raise it in its full
scope at the World Congress, May,
1928.
"The most important European
parties of the Communist Intena-
tional show an increase in member
ship during the last two years.
New Struggle
This is due to the process of the
revolutionisation Of the working
masses of the European capitalist
countries. Despite the shortcomings
Of fraternal Communist parties, a
new phase favorable to Communist
International development has set in.
1--WE have entered new phase of
revolutionary struggle on the basis Of
growing class antagonisms and class
struggle in capitalist countries and
the development of the struggle of
colonial peoples for national liberia
! ton.
IF the bourgeoisie plots war, it
should be emphasized that the work
ing class will enter that war as an
organized revolutionary force which,
at the first shot, viii bring to their
feet the best internationalist elements
/ capable of starting a counter-struggle
for Communist triumph"

Especial Cable to Daily Worker.)

-
MOSCOW, Dec. 1.-THE Sunday
session concluded the discussion on
Bukharin's report. Finkovsky from
Krivoirog said that trade union work
in the Communist International sec
tions Tags considerably behind the
transpiring changes in the European
working class. The Communist In
ternational, he said, must intensity
its work in the sections and secure
greater Red International of Labor
Union activity in attaining the neces-
sary successes in this field. Demo-
cratic and fascist work among women
must be counteracted by Communist
International work. The tremendous
significance the women masses will
play in the coming war must not be
forgotten. This obliges the Commu-
mist Parties to gain the sympathy of
the women masses as their ally in
the struggle for Communism.
Heo, representing the R. I. L. u.
said that a series of facts shows the
extreme weakness of the trade union
work of the Communist Parties. The
membership of the Czechoslovak trade
unions has remained for years con-
slant. This is primarily due to in
sufficient attention to trade union
work by the Communist Party. At
tention must, besides, be devoted to
intensification of work among wom-
en- and the youth.
Intensity Work.
Khitarov, member of the Young
Communist International said after
many mistakes Of the committee of
the Chinese Communist Party, a GER
tain change is now observable in the
general situation of the Chinese Re-
volution and Communist Party. The
Chinese Communist Party is now on
the right path. The immediate future
will witness new impetus in the
Chinese Revolution under TIE leader
ship of the Communist Party newly
elected, which is rectifying former
plumbers.
Build Left Unions.
Artukhina showed the necessity for
intensification Of the work of Com
munist international sections among
women. The so-called left trade union
movement of France is splintered.
The French Communist Party must
achieve unification of the proletarian
forces. Trade union work in Euro
pean countries must be adapted to
the Transporting rehabilitation of the
working masses. at would be
wrong" he said, "to withdraw our
followers from reformist unions and
build at all costs independent left
unions. We must strengthen the con.
nection between existing independent
revolutionary unions and minorities
within the reformist unions. Inten-
styling our work in this way, we will
be able to win the workers still fol-
lowing the Amsterdam International. +"
Larin declared that the Communist
International doesn't sufficiently
point out the achievements of the
Red Army to the European working
class with sufficient energy, although
such propaganda could play great
role in revolutionizing the working
masses. Citing comment of the CAPT
talist press concerning the Red Army,
'arin declared that the Communist
International must familiarize the
read working masses with history
and achievements Of the Red Army.

Hip Pocket Tasks Also Under Ban of safety Commissioner, He
 Announces.

Philadelphia, Jan. II tF,--Curfcw will ring at 1 q. m. for dancing iH Philadelphia night clubs and there will be no more drinking from hip pocket tlaslls, if q plan outlined to- day by Public Safety Commission CT George W. Elliott is successful.
 The director issued orders to the police to arrest anyone found with d flask or drinking from one in clubs and other public places. He announced that q special act was being prepared for submission to Inc state legislature making it a crime to give intoxicating liquors to minors.
 Director Elliott said he had de- cided on his campaign against the night clubs because of reports and personal observations which showed that most of their patrons were young boys and girls. In omphasiz- ing the need for special legislation, he said it was difficult to obtain evidence as flasks were broken or hidden under tables by patrons whenever the police made their ap- pearance.
