.FRAME-UP CHARGE
MADE BY LEADER
OF STONECUTTERS
Former Union Lawyer
Is Accused at Trial

The federal governments case
against the International Association
of Journeymen Stone Cutters was
charged with being a frame-up yes
terday when Michael w. Mitchell Of
Indianapolis, president of the union,
accused Sidney A. Symes, of Mount
Vernon, former attorney of the
union, of altering an affidavit after
Mitchell signed his name to it.
The affidavit in question was one
drawn up in 1923 and purported that
union workers were not to work on
metropolitan jobs where the cast
stone used was not manufactured in
the metropolitan area. He said that
the clause was inserted after he had
put his name to it.
The government is seeking an in
junction restraining the Journeymen
Stone Cutters of America and allied
unions from interfering" with con-
struction operations in the metropoi-
tan area where the cast stone used
was not manufactured in the same
district.

Imperialism Denounced
By Chinese Students at
Wisconsin Meeting

MADISON, Wis, Sept. p (FP)-
Nationalism and Communism were
leading topics at the annual confer
ence of the Chinese Students Ali
ance, midwest branch, held in Madi-
son September 7-12. Resolutions
against Imperialism and the unequal
treaties imposed by foreign nations
We're passed. Chang Tso-Lin, the
Lord of Pekin and Manchuria, was
denounced as an enemy of China's
best interests.
The students invited Manuel Co.
mez of the All-America Anti-Imperi-
alist League to address them. He
said the Chinese revolution, which
started as a united native rising
against foreign domination, entered
second phase when the drive
against foreign exploitation spread
against exploitation by native en-
ployers and bankers. When the mid
die class elements resented the ad-
vance of the worker and peasant
unions, the present or third stage be-
gan, Gomez explained.

SEIyUKI STANDS
alone IN JAPAN
Diet ELECTIONS
Communist Party Still
Underground

TOXIC, Sept. 21-Nine million new
voters in Japan are ready to make
their first trip to the polls, in every
prefecture of the empire, during the
last week of this month and the first
two weeks Of October.
These new voters will have the ma
jority of votes in naming the mem
bers of the perfectural assemblies, and
these preliminary elections will show
political leaders which way the wind
is blowing for the opening of the ma
tional election in January, as far as
legal parties are concerned. The rap
idly growing Communist Party is still
underground.
1t is almost three years since the
japanese Diet passed the universal
manhood suffrage bill, giving to every
sane man of 25 the right to vote. But
since that time there has been no dis
solution of the diet, and therefore no
chance to try out the new law.
Ward Bosses Busy.
Politicians have been working as
they never worked before in Japan,
trying to persuade the millions of new
voters to join their respective fac
tions. Before this they have had to
work only with men of some means,
who paid certain taxes, as they were
the only citizens eligible to vote.
Now the political leaders must deal
with an entirely new class of voters,
the men who own no property and.
who have not been lined up as yet for
any candidates.
Arrival of universal manhood suf-
frage apparently comedies with the
development of a two-party system in
Japan, similar to the republican,
cratic lineup in the United States.
However, all the former parties in
the Diet have combined against the
extremely reactionary Seiyuki = the
party in power under the name of
Minseito. These two parties = the
Seiyuikai and the Minseito-now in
clude practically all the Diet mem
bers.

Wife of Mine Victim
Wins Court Award i'm
Hard Legal Struggle

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Sept. 81. AT
ter a stiff fight in the compensation
courts Mrs. Anna Panick, a miners
widow, of Lilly, won a $1,739.28
award for the death of her husband
Adam Panick. The man died last No
vember 20, 1926 of tuberculosis. He
was crushed in a mine accident Jan
uary %, 1921 and Mrs. Panick con-
tended his weakened physical condi-
tion made him prey to the disease.
The w. H. Piper & Co. firm of
Philadelphia, Panick's employers,
fought the award, arguing that the
disease must have been latent in the
man before his injury. The verdict
was that even if their contention were
correct, the injuries had hastened the
of the disease. Panick
was AZ and the father of Z children.

Chen Accuses Britain.

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Sept. 21.-
In an interview with a representative
of the International Class War Pris-
oners' Aid, Eugene Chen stated that
the white terror is at present raging
in China where the ranks of the Com
munists are growing attho they as
well as all workers and peasants or
ganizations are ruthlessly prosecuted.
Very probably, Chen said, Great
Britain and Japan will still more ac-
lively support Chang Tso-lin and
other reactionaries as Britain is par
ticularly interested in restoring cor
der" in Shanghai and Kwantung.
The atrocities committed especially
by the demoralized bands of soldiers,
defy description. The political pris-
oners in the Chinese jails are treated
like ordinary criminals. Widows and
orphans, victims of the white terror,
will die of hunger unless relief comes
from abroad. The Chinese workers
and peasants expect the help of the
workers of all countries.

EsthOnian Delegation Of
Workers to U. S. S. R.
Calls for Its Defence

MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., Sept. 21.
The press is publishing the dec
laration of the Esthonian Labor
Delegation which has just visited
the Soviet Union. The delegates
declare that the U. S. S. R. is a
genuine workers state in which
the working class holds power in
alliance with the peasantry. The
Soviet Union is the only country
democratic not only in words but
in deeds, where the national ques-
tion is solved fairly and where the
toiling masses rally in the Soviets
which they will defend to the last
drop of their blood. The Esthon-
ian proletariat together with the
world proletariat will do anything
possible to wreck the aggressive
projects of the Bourgeoisie against
the U. S. S. R.

Detroit, Cleveland
Demand Convention
From Republicans

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. - A bat
tie between Detroit and Cleveland for
the profit involved in playing host to
the Republican national convention in
1928, was anticipated today by party
leaders, assembling here in advance
of the coming session of congress.
While dozen cities were reported
seeking the Democratic convention,
Republican spokesmen declared the
field of applicants for their quadren-
nial gathering was confined thus far
to the two lake cities-long rivals in
many other respects. There were in
dications though that Chicago and
Kansas City might get into the race
later, though not with as much hope
of success as either Detroit or Cleve-
land.
The Cleveland drive, where the Re-
publicans met in 1924, is being led by
Senator Simeon d. Fess (R.) of Ohio.
He predicted the convention would go
to the Ohio metropolis.

SCAB HOTEL FOR
HEADQUARTERS OF
A.F.L. CONVENTION
Culinary Workers Make
Vain Protest

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Sept 21.-
The Culinary Workers Union put up
strong fight in the Central Labor
Council against their selection of the
Alexandria Hotel as the official con-
yention headquarters of the American
Federation of Labor officials while
in this city.
The Alexandria, according to the
union, is one of the scabbiest hotels
in the city, having resisted all at
tempts at organizing their culinary
help. Last April, the union had re-
quested that this hotel be put on the
unfair list, but the Central Labor
Council had refused, probably having
in mind the coming A. F. of L. con-
vention. Now they claim it is too late
to change the headquarters, as all
arrangements have been made, and
all protests of the Culinary Workers
Union are to no avail, and the latter
is extremely bitter over this action on
the part of the officials.
Union Attacks.
At the last meeting of the council,
the cul mary workers delegate
launched an attack on the officials
of the A. F. of L. for their disregard
of trade union principles. Last year.
he declared, "the A. F. of L. went
to Detroit to fight the open-shop, and
they came away from there with De-
troit as scabby as ever. This year,
they are coming to Los Angeles, just
as notoriously open-shop, and they
will leave here with the same result.

THRONGS GATHER
TO BET ON FIGHT:
FAKERY CHARGED
Clever Press Agenting
Making Rickard Rich

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Bent upon
witnessing the Tunney-D Dempsey fight
tomorrow night-the advance con-
tingents of the biggest sporting crowd
that ever invaded an American city
swarmed into Chicago today by rail-
road, steamboat, automobile and air
plane from all directions.
Fifty thousand at least had arrived
by 8 o'clock this afternoon, and more
were coming in hourly. All trains
were loaded to capacity and almost
every through train carried extra sec
tions. The fans came from coast to
coast, and from Canada to Mexico.
Bigger Than Politics.
"Never had there been such rush,
even during the national political con-
vention," hotel men said.
Big contingents arrived at noon,
openly declaring: "We're for Demp-
sey, and we're betting that way"
They included Jack Doyle, Califor-
MIA fight promoter and his party; Al
Jolson, comedian, William Collier, film
juvenile and Tom Moore, movie actor
Came droves of Tunney fans, and
difference of opinions soon became so
acute in hotel lobbies, that betting
on the outcome of the fight was tre-
mendously increased, mostly at even
money.
Whooping Things Up.
While not for a moment DENYING
that Tunney may very well owe his
present rank to the doping of Demp-
sey at Philadelphia, the wise ones
likewise smile at the vehemence with
which the accusation was flung into
the fight preliminaries. Betting was
getting slow. Odds were too high on
Tunney. Tickets were not being
bought in any such quantities as
Rickard thot they should be. Then
came the charges of fakery in the
championship fight, with the prospect
that Tunney might be licked in this
one, # they can keep the poison out
of his coffee. Apparently there are
lot of people who want to see Tun-
ney licked, sales and bets increased
enormously.
