sion," and the fact that the ranks
of the thousands of strikers are stiff
fleming to enforce the demands
raised by the left wing Textile
Workers Union for wage increase
the bosses and their union allies
are becoming frantic.
Mcmahon Called In.
This is the motive ascribed to
McMahon's statement, the strike
leaders of the T. w. U. declare. Nc
Mahon had to be called in to make
these statements because his agents
here failed completely to date.
In making his statement Mcmahon
says: eve believe the Frieder Plan
submitted to the Textile Council
would in a short period do more tc
stabilize conditions in New Bedford
than any other thing we know"
To Fight Betrayal.
"Under the continued leadership O.
the Textile Workers Union the %,
900 strikers will fight against an!
attempt at betrayal of their bittel
struggle" declares a statement Of
the National Textile Workers Union
which further announces that the
workers have repeatedly shown thai
they are convinced that even a re
call of the entire 10 per cent cut
would mean a lost strike if the
bosses were permitted to install the
speed-up system.
Another glazing piece of evidence
to show how closely the A. F. Of
L. chiefs are working with the mil
owners was presented here today
when Samuel Ross, president of the
Mule Spinners' Local of the Textile
Council, announced that he is ir
favor of the five per cent wage cut
mediation proposal of the State Ar
bitration Board, of which he is a
member.
When asked for the reason for
such an action Ross said that the
board had made its final effort, and
there would be no more conferences
Textile Council officials here do not
even try to hide their alliance with
the bosses and frankly serve on
impartial boards" of the mill own
ers' creation. This explains why the
thousands of mill strikers have al
most completely deserted the coun-
ell and now follow the lead of the
left-wing union.

BRITISH LABOR
THROTTLER FOR
WORLD WAR UNIT
Melchett Now Here to
Complete Plan

Two of the leading British in
dustrialists and advocates of class
collaboration scheme, Lord Melchett,
formerly Sir Alfred Mond and his
son, Henry Mond, millionaires, war
profiteers and preparers of the
the next war, arrived in New York
yesterday, preaching their self-sal-
walton doctrine of class peace while
or their way to attend a meeting of
the directors of the Mond Nickel Co.
in Canada
Lord Melchett, together with re-
dictionary British trade union Off
Gals, has done much to thrust class
collaboration upon the workers of
England.
While the Monds are here, the
conference which he convened be-
tween leading capitalists and the
corrupt officials of the Trades Union
Congress is still proceeding in Lon
don. 1t will be followed, it is gen
orally understood by the complete
capitulation of the trade union Off
Gals.
Empire Trust Scheme.
After visiting their nickel mines
in Canada the two financiers will
confer with the American commit
tee of the Finance Committee of
Great Britain and America, Ltd,
which includes John J. Raskob,
Charles M. Schwab and other labor
hating American capitalists.
Melchett, who is also chairman of
the Imperial Chemical Industries,
Ltd, and many other industries in
Great Britain, admits that he has
been working consistently for a COM
plete classification of Britain's
most important industries. His
latest accomplishment in this line is
the reported combine of the British
Royal Dutch Shell Oil and the
chemical and dye industry trust.
Prepare War Unit.
Just before leaving England, Mel
chett presented a scheme for the
complete justification of all the
mines, smelling furnaces, fuel pro-
duclng companies, electric concerns
oil industry and the chemical indus
try. His avowed aim is to completely
rationalize and trustify the indus
trles OF not only England, but the
whole British Empire, in such a wav
as to complete an impregnable econ
omic and war unit.
The Sunday Worker, official or
gan OF the Communist Party of
England, is carrying on. a consistent
campaign against the Mond scheme
ana the accompanying Melchett
scheme of empire classification.

MANCHURIA STILL
INDEPENDENT OF
NANKINC REGIME
To Extend Railroad to
Korea

SHANGHAI, China, Sept. 81
The Manchurian government, under
the dictatorship of Chang Hseuh-
lang, will allow complete freedom to
foreign capital, meaning mostly
Japan csc, even removing the
restrictions of approved concessions,
which will result in the strengthen
ing of Japan economic and military
position directly threatening the So
Wet Union thru Siberia and its port
at Vladivostok, according to reports
received here from Mukden.
The report states that Chang
Hseuh-liang had declared himself in
FLAVOR of this policy and further that
there was very little likelihood of
Manchuria joining the Marking re-
glme, thus almost absolutely guar
anteeing complete Japanese control
and continued fertilization of the
latter in Manchuria.
The immediate result of this
policy, it is generally thought, will
be the extension of the Kirin Rail-
road eastward to Northeast Korea,
thus giving Japan a direct line of
communication and means for the
transportation of troops directly
from her own provinces into and
across Manchuria, to the inner Dor
ders of the Soviet Union.
This new declaration of policy is
also taken to man that. many of
Japan's twenty-one demands made
IN 1915, those especially concerning
further land leasing and the further
development of the mineral re-
/, sources in Manchuria, will be
granted.
The only opponent now to the
separation of Manchuria and Nank-
ing is Yang Tu-ting, who has not
been won over to japanese cause. 1t
IS almost certain, however, that by
November, the time set. in the
Japanese utimatum, Manchuria will
not join Marking and will be left
entirely to japanese exploitation, be-
ing considered as her sphere of in
fluence.

day for the Austrian workers. It
calls upon the workers to organize
demonstration and to boy
colt the transportation of the fas-
cists to Vienna.
when this appeal appeared ins
the Rote Fahne, official organ of the
Communist Party CT Austria, the is
sue was confiscated and the editor
was arrested.)
Remember July Is.
The appeal reminds the workers
Of the many victims OF Austrian
fascism, and particularly of the 80
killed on July Is of last year. Il
declares that the continual retreat
of the social-democracy in the face
of fascism is the factor which makes
fascism a serious danger for the
workers. The appeal further terms
the hope that the government will
prohibit the demonstration an illu-
sion.
The possibility of the fascists
abandoning their demonstration ex-
lists, declares the appeal, but only
if they receive their price, which is
the voluntary abandonment of the
tenants protection law.
Appeals to Transport Workers.
The Communist Party appeals to
the workers to prevent the fascist
parade, and to the railw aymen and
transport workers TO refuse to trans
port the fascists. 1t further appeals
to the workers to answer the fascist
parade by march on Weinernul-
stadt on October Z.
The workers are asked to join the
newly formed workers defense
corps, whose inaugural congress will
take place in Weinerneustadt on
September 80. Workers are also
asked to elect in all factories, in all
working class organizations, in all
labor exchanges, delegates to a ma
tional convention to decide upon de-
fensive measures against the fas-
cist parade. This congress will take
measures for a general mobilization
of the whole working class against
the fascists.

LATIN AMERICAS EYES
ON COLOMBIA OIL GRAB


A sharp conflict has developed be-
tween Colombia and the United
States over the cancellation of g.
100000 acre petroleum concession
(about 20,250 SO. kilometers) con-
trolled by the family of Andrew
Mellon, United States secretary Of
the treasury. The concession was
originally granted in 1905 to a Col
ombian General Virgilio Barco, as
reward for defeating the liberals
in the Colombian civil war. In
granting the Barco concession, the
conservative government stipulated
that General Barco develop a ma
tional petroleum industry in the s.
100000 acres involved. Instead,
Barco sold his concession to the
Colombian Petroleum Company,
which is controlled by the South
American Gulf Company of Penn
sylvania. This American firm is,
in turn, controlled largely by the
MELON interests.
In March, 1926, the Colombian
government cancelled the Barco con-
cession on the ground that General
Barco had failed to fulfill the stipu-
lation of developing oil production.
The Colombian Petroleum Company
appealed to the courts, but in Au-
gust, 1928, the courts issued a sec
ond decree upholding the cancella-
ton.
At this stage the United States
government interviewed. The United
States minister at Bogota filed a
memorandum requesting a hearing
on the Barco concession. The Col
ombian government did not reply to
this memorandum. Thereupon, sec
rotary of state Kellogg sent a sharp
note to the Colombian government.
The state department did not inform
the American press about this note.
1t was only from the storm which
the note aroused in the Colombian
press that the American press
learned of its existence. The con-
tents of Kellogg's note have not
yet been published, but it is known
that Kellogg accused the Colombian
government of violating the Gus
tomary diplomatic procedure be-
tween friendly nations in refusing
to answer the American minister's
request for hearing.
The Colombian press has called
KellogE's note an act of interven-
ton on the part of the United States
in the internal affairs of Colombia,
saying this is an attempt to en-
force the Coolidge Doctrine" that
the United States has the right to
protect American citizens and Amer
lean property wherever they may
be. On September % the Colom-
bian senate and chamber of deputies
unanimously approved the govern
ment's refusal to permit any inter
yention in the cancellation of the
Barco concession. This unanimity is
noteworthy, in view of the fact that
the Colombian congress is divided
into liberals and conservatives, who
are bitterly hostile to each other;
the congress has cast no unanimous
