RenuS Defense to
Begin Soon; May
Bring Craft Story

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. "a. -
The prosecution of George Remus, on
trial for murder of his wife, Imogene,
whom he accuses of having Joined
with the prohibition agent, Dodge, to
swindle him out Of several million
dollars bootleg profits, is about
ready to close.
Remus has stated that he will ex-
pose, during his defense, much graft
on the part of the prohibition enforce
ment service.
The court yesterday ruled that the
state had not proved that any con-
spiracy to kill existed, and that there
was no evidence to show that there
was any attempt made by Assistant
District Attorney Sibbald to intimi-
date Remus' chauffeur, George Klug,
q witness for the prosecution, as
charged by Klug.
Klug declares that Sibbald stood
over him in his cell, watch in hand,
and gave him time limit within
which he must decide to swear that
he drove Remus from the park in
which the killing took place. This
would have been an important step
towards proof of conspiracy.

tee Of the All-Union Communist
Party
Opposition on Mexico.
Stirner of Mexico demanded that
the work of the trade unions be re-
inforced as the experience of Latin
America showed elements sympathiz-
ing with the Opposition, at the same
time acting against the tactics of the
united front.
Krebich demanded that the Execu-
tive of the Communist International
react more rapidly against calumnia-
tory ISLANDERS spread abroad via the
Opposition, as this would consider
ably facilitate the struggle against
the Opposition on an international
scope.
Sen katyama pointed out that the
Opposition, which has already form
ed second party, is prepared to
commit any crime against the Soviet
power. Katayama demanded the
most energetic measures be taken
against the Opposition just as against
the Observation-Disclosures and fas-
cist elements.
Badulescu of the Rumanian Party
nointed out that a special campaign
is necessary against Rakovsky's ac-
ions. The Rumanian Communists
must expose Rakovsky's actions the
more so because the latter is popular
in Rumania, he declared.
No Influence In Poland.
Purman of Poland pointed out that
he Opposition has scarcely any in
fluence with the Polish Communist
Party. The recent Plenary session of
the Central Committee definitely con-
demned the Opposition. However the
latter is being made use Of in the
General political life of Poland, es-
neciallv at the actual moment when
Pilsudski is prepared for the occupa-
lion of Lithuania.
Maggi declared that he lrings the
italian Communist Party's solidarity
with all measures adorted by the All
Union Communist Party against the
Opposition. He demanded a resolute
struggle AGAINST the Opposition On
an international scope.
Draft Resolution.
Kabakchieff. on behalf of the Bull
earian Communist Party; Silen on
behalf Of the Scandinavian Commun-
ist Party; and Sirola on behalf of the
Finnish Communist Party called for
reinforced struggle against the Op-
position.
A draft Of a resolution was unan.
imously adopted, based on the work
Of Kusinen, Zetkin and Gallagher
emphasizing that the conduct of the
leaders of the Opposition means the
betrayal Of the interests of the inter
national labor movement and the be-
trayal of the Communist Interna-
tional.

Lawyer Finds Trickery.

TRINIDAD, Colo, Nov. 24.-R. w.
Henderson, defense attorney for the
Colorado strikers has investigated the
California and states that most of the
situation here since his arrival from
arrests Of pickets are illegal, since
they were made by the State Law En-
fOrcement Bureau, which has no au-
thority outside of enforcement of the
prohibition statutes.
He finds that every effort was
made by the miners to comply with
the law, and that the strike was once
postponed because of the Industrial
Commissions objection that not suf-
ficient time was allowed after the
calling of the strike before the date
Of the walk-out.
A bubble.
The final ruling that the strike is
illegal, Henderson finds a mere quib-
BILE, as it was based on the fact that
the companies discharged the men
calling the strike, for The very pur-
pose Of making it illegal, and is an
evasion Of the law by the companies
themselves. Henderson finds that the
conditions were bad, wages low, and
the outbreak almost spontaneous. He
doubts the constitutionality of the
state compulsory arbitration law.

Interstate commerce commission
railroad employment statistics again
raise the question whether shopmen
have really gained increased stability
of employment on roads which have
accepted the encouragement CO.
operation program. The contention
that such cooperation means better
employment was advanced sto counter
the criticism that wages are no high
er on carriers where such cooperation
prevails.
Charts in the wage report for Au-
gust show for 8 leading systems the
course of shop employment August,
1925 to July, 1927. The commission
contrasts the Baltimore & Ohio with
the Pennsylvania, the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul with the North
ern Pacific, the Southern with the
Atlantic Coast Line and the South
ern Pacific with the Santa Fe. The
chart comparing shop employment on
the Baltimore & Ohio with the Penn
sylvania is significant because the B.
& 0. took the lead in cooperating with
the unions while the Pennsylvania,
under Atterbury direction, led in the
fight to make the railroad shops non
union.
More JObless On B. 4 O.
The trend of shop employment on
both the B. & o. and the Pennsylvania
has been downward since March, 1926,
but the decline was much more rapid
on the B. & o. On the other hand at
the end of the period employment had
fallen somewhat more below the aver
age on the Pennsylvania than on the
B. & o.
In the 8 months March-June, 1926,
shop employment fell off 91s per cent
on the 3. e. o. as against reduction
of less than 5 per cent on the Penn
sylvania. By September employment
in B. e. o. shops was more than II
per cent below the March level while
in the Pennsylvania shops it was still
at level less than 8 per cent below
the peak. When the year ended en-
ployment on the B. & o. was down
10 per cent and on the Pennsylvania
less than per cent.
Plan Helps Firing.
In. the 2-year period the range of
employment on the B. & o. was from
about 81a above the average in March,
1926, to per cent below in MAY,
1927. The lowest figure meant that
about IA per cent of the shopmen en-
ployed at the peak had been laid off.
In Pennsylvania shops the correspond
ing range was from q per cent above
average in March and April 1926 to
IL per cent below in July, 1927. Here
the lowest figure meant a lay-off to
about 16.1 per cent of the workers
employed at the peak.
The fluctuation in shop emplov-
ment on the B. & o. and Pennsylvania
roads, expressed in percentages of the
"a months average taken as 100 per
cent, appears in the following table

White Guard Leaders.

The Bratianu brothers, huge land
owners and powerful bankers, have
virtually dominated White Guard
Rumania since the World War except
for a brief period when Averescu was
Premier.
The Bratianu brothers led the wave
of terrorism, being particularly active
in the suppression of unions and
peasant organizations. They were
largely responsible for dragging
Rumania into the World War.
At the time of his death Premier
Bratianu was planning to consolidate
his position still further and planned
to establish dictatorship like that OF
Primo de Rivera in Spain.

Vintila, Bratianu Immediately an
nounced that the present order win
be maintained at all costs, all gar
risons were placed on a "footing of
ALARM" and all frontiers were closed
and strictly guarded in anticipation
of possible riots.
A meeting of the cabinet council
was called and it was decided not to
allow Prince Carol to return to
Rumania.
Thus the Bratianu policies will be
continued, at least for the present.
through the continuance Of the "Bra-
tianu Dynasty" as the dead premier's
cabinet was called, because of the
fact that Bratianu had placed his
elder brother in a position to succeed
him at the head of the cabinet, and
possibly as member Of the regency,
in case Of his own death.

Bratianu's death came at time
when he considered his position some

the court-martial and subsequent
acquittal of M. Manoilescu, finance
minister in the Averescu cabinet and

border, when he was found to be
carrying letters from Carol to pol

History
Anti-SIave Societies

In the early 18th century anti
slavery societies were more numer-
Gus in the South than in the North.
For examples, BENJAMIN Lundy had
organized more groups for the emai1-
cipation of the slaves in North Caro-
lima than in any other state. II was
the South and not the North that
took the lead in the idea of giving
freedom to the slaves. Jefferson,
Washington and others in freeing
many of their own slaves merely
Joined in with the general movement.
Why?
Because at that time slavery was
proving Improbable in the South.
The cost of the slave .was low, and
his value in production was CORE
spondingly small.
What was it that changed the en-
tire aspect of the situation?
The invention of the cotton gin.
1t was this invention in 1874 that
turned slavery into a profitable in
stitution. The cotton gin made slave
help invaluable. The price Of the
slave Immediately rose. The att
tude of the South. toward slavery
Immediately changed. Instead of or
ganizing anti-slayery groups it organ
lied pro-slavery groups. Instead of
CONSIDERING the freedom Of the slaves
1t confined more closely their letters.
In these ways and in these in
stances we see how attitudes are
shaped and changed by the fluctua-
tons in economic life and produc-
ton.
