Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 30 Lpl- Soviet Russia today threw a peace bomb" into the opening session of the preparatory disarmament com- mission by formally proposing the complete abolition Of all land. ma- rine and air forces.
 Admitting that the Soviet project was a radical suggestion, Maxim Lit Vinoff, chief Of the Soviet delega- tion, called for the dissolution of all land, sea and air forces and the non-admittance Of their existence in any concealed form whatsoever.
 Causes Great Sensation
 The proposal caused a profound sensation at the conference although many delegates were seen to smile as if they considered the scheme more than Utopian as Litvinoff de- veloped the sweeping Soviet project.
 The Russian delegate submitted as the other cardinal points of the project that all weapons and mili- tary supplies, means for chemical warfare and all other material forms of armament be destroyed, that all warships, military and air craft be scrapped. and that the system of calling up citizens for military train ing be discontinued.
 Scrap All Vessels
 The Soviet delegation introduced a resolution calling for the immediate working out in detail of draft con- Vention for complete general disarm- ament on principles submitted by them. The resolution also provided for the convocation Of disarma- ment conference not later than March, 1928. scrapping of all war ships, and the destruction Of all fortresses, if accepted by the powers, would be carried out in period Of from one to four years under the Soviet plan.
 Armed force is q wea pon in the hands of the great powers for the oppression of peoples in small and colonial countries, and the complete abolition of armaments is at presen. the only real means of guaranteeing security and affording a guarantee against the outbreak of war" was one Of the striking phrases in the soviet resolution.
 Another striking phrase was that the existence of armaments and their tendency to growth. "by their very nature, inevitably lead 10 armed conflicts between nations, diverting the workers and peasants from peaceful productive labor and bring. ing in a train Of countless disas- ters"
 AS the Russians desired a draft convention framed immediately. they did not favor waiting for additiona! international security. a question which is very close to the hearts of many European nations particularly France.

But in 1916 only few far seeing

No exploitation is secure without
a company union! The realization
of this truth is now rapidly spread
ing over the whole field of labor ex-
ploitation. The deplorable condi-
tions under which the traction work
ers of New York labor, picture of
which has been presented in the last
two articles, obviously called for
some advanced" method of dealing
with them. Accordingly, one of the
first groups to grasp at the princi-
pie of the company union was the
Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany. This was as early as the year
1916. Since that time the company
union everywhere has developed into
a full grown black sheep of the la
Dor movement--an illegitimate son,
in the true sense of the term, result
ing from the ugly alliance between
the bosses and their enslaved and de-
luded workers. That this vicious
parasite goes practically unchal-

Gold In Eloquent Defiance
OF Union WreckerS

A warning to employers, and to the
uniOn-smashing Special Committee
of the International Fur Workers
and the A. F. of L., was given by Ben
Gold, manager of the New York Joint
Board last night when, with the thun-
derous approval of thousands of fur
workers in Cooper Union and Webster
Hall, he announced that the workers
would refuse to tolerate any attempt
TO break down their powerful union,
or to weaken the union conditions in
the shops.
Gold warned the fur workers that
the Especial Committee" would doubt
less do everything in its power to
form an alliance with the employers,
and that possibly there would be an
attempt to call strike in order to
force the workers to register with the
International.
Warn Of Strike
"While we have no desire for a
strike" said Gold; eve are willing to
face the bosses at any time to pre-
serve our rights.
eff they think they are going to
slip in by the back door now the
agreement which they had secretly
made with Hugh Frayne and the In
ternational last year, before we de-
feated their plan to break the strike,
they might as well be warned once
for all they had better not dream OF
the 40 hour week instead Of the 40
hour; or the return of contracting or
any of the other points they lost.
What we gained by our bitter strug-
gle last spring, we will fight to main
tain-and we won't have to hire
gangsters to fight for us either"
Short Work of Gangs
The great enthusiasm with which
the workers greeted these remarks
was even increased when Gold added:
"Every time the A. F. of L. poll
ticians take hand in a strike they
either break the strike or sell out the
workers. The fur workers are going
to make short work of these gang
sters."

Shoe Makers On
Strike to Get
Recognition
Provocative Boss Relative Of
Cruel Judge ROsalsky

The Shoe Workers Protective
Union, at mass meeting held last
night in the Brooklyn Labor Lyceum,
launched an intensive organization
campaign to enroll in the union the
$4,000 unorganized shoe workers of
greater New York.
Three organizers are already on the
job, and it is they who have been con-
ducting the strike called during the
past week in shops which have re-
fused to sign an agreement with the
union.
Kin of Rosalsky's.
At the B. & w. Shoe Company, AL
Blake avenue, Brooklyn, where 80
workers have been on strike since last
Tuesday, the boss is using all sorts of
provocative tactics to create trouble
near the shop so that he will have
grounds for taking out an injunction.
One striker was badly beaten by de-
tectives yesterday and is now in a
hospital. The employer is reported to
be brother-in-lsw os re ruthless
Judge Rosalsky.
Sumner Shop Struck.
At the Sumner & Broyd Shoe Com
pany at rs Front street, Brooklyn,
140 workers came out on strike last
Monday. A scab agency has opened
headquarters at the Broadway Central
Hotel in this city, and advertisements
for workers are being inserted in all
the papers from this address.
Workers are urged to beware of
this fake employment office, and save
themselves a trip to Brooklyn only to
discover they are being sent to shop
on strike-as several other workers
have done.

Police Brutality.
Police brutality was one of the fea-
sures of the Ruthenberg memorial
meetings held Wednesday night. Es-
pecially at Carnegie Hall was it no.
ticeable.
Police Officer 11600 was the chief
offender with police officer 1927 the
second best. Stationed at the seth
st. stage entrance they prevented
the speakers, committee members
and the singers of the Freiheit
Gesang Frien from entering for a
period of over one hour. All those
who attempted to gain admittance or
ask either of the policemen why they
We're barred, were without any cere-
mony made to move.
Wolfe Handled Roughly.
When Bertram D. Wolfe, director
of the New York Workers School
and one of the speakers, was denied
admittance, and tried to explain that
he was one of the speakers, he was
grabbed by the scruff of the neck
and showed into the gutter.
Frank Miller, a member of the
literature committee who was bring
ing copies of The DAILY WORKER
to the meeting, Jared even worse at
the hands of officer 1900. The po-
liceman grabbed his head with one
hand and used his other hand as a
ram to drive him to the gutter where
he threw him into the mud. Many
other workers whose names were not
obtained received the same treat
ment. The DAILY WORKER re-
porter was also barred for over an
hour and only with the greatest diff
ficulty did he obtain admittance.
Bomb Squad Present.
The "bomb squad" was also pre-
sent in full force inside the hall but
no excitement took place, all Of its
being reserved for the street.
Among the other speakers Who ad-
dressed The Carnegie Hall meeting

Peace Talk
England and U. S. Agree to
Meet; Both In Air Race

WASHINGTON, March 1O-Al-
though Japan has again unofficially
announced that she will participate in
the three power arms conference if
such an event takes place, and admin
istratiOn leaders here believe that
France and Italy will send observers"
who may at times take the status of
delegates, pessimism over any real
results in the way of disarmament
continues.
The conference, if it now takes
place, they say, will be more for the
sake of bulldozing the enemies Of
England on the continent, and saving
the reputation of Coolidge, than for
any other purpose.
More Planes.
All the countries originally invited
to send delegates are increasing their
armament. 1t is konwn that the Bri-
tish air minister, Sir Samuel Hoare,
announced in the house of commons
this afternoon that Great Britain is
building two airships, each capable Of
carrying more than 200 fully armed
men, and a complete squadron Of
smaller airplanes. Planes would prob
ably not be limited, even if some
agreement was. reached on naval
strength.
Big Contracts.
The U. S. army is continuing its
five year building program, and has
just allotted a million and half dol
lars worth of contracts for three diff
ferent types of planes.
American airplanes, training at the
France field, in the canal zone, par
ticipated in maneuvers by squadrons
of the navy, ostensibly designated a
practice defense against an Asiatic
power, in league with a European
power" The implications resulting
from the official descriptions of the
maneuvers have not healed any mis-
trust.
Labor Party Fights Increase.
Perhaps the only hopeful sign came
from sources the present administra-
tion in Washington does not care to
be in alliance with. Laborite men,
bers of the English parliament de-
nounced the cabinets plan to create
navy for India, as merely an un-
derhanded attempt to increase arma-
ments under the fraudulent guise Of
greater autonomy to a colony.
New Engines Too.
Sir Samuel Hoare, in his report,
said the Royal Air Force is being
equipped with up-to-date machines
and its strength is being increased ten
per cent.
Illustrating the development of the
civil air routes, parliament was told
there were already straphangers upon
the route between Bagdad and Bahra.
The Importance attached to the de-
velopment of air craft is emphasized
by the fact that this is the most diff
ficult financial year the chancellor
of the exchequer has had to face.
'If the two airships we are now
building come up to expectations"
said Sir Samuel, at will be possible
to transport fully equipped squadron
from one end of the empire to the
other in a fraction Of the time it now
takes for reinforcements to arrive at
any threatened point"
The entire air force is being
equipped with new planes and engines.

hitherto. Secretory Kellogg said on

themselves lost the munitions in
transporting it across the Rio Grande

Latimer's forces were responsible, as
charged by the Liberals.
