Gov. Smith.
Over a Nationwide radio hook-up
last night at South Bend, Ind. Senator
Curtis questioned the sincerity of the
Democratic presidential nominee on the

relations question confronting the
United States"
Gov. Smith drew fire from Mr.. Borah
on prohibition and the tariff. On the
two issues the Democratic candidate
was charged by the Senator with
having changed his positions during
the campaign for political gain"
Borah also called upon the governor to
find out If they would support his
stand for prohibition repeal and pub

The governor wants the issue clari-

would greatly clarity the prohibition
issue If he would tell whether or not
he had undertaken to find out how
the Democratic members of Congress
stand and what progress he has made
on his prohibition course. All that is
necessary is to send the same kind of
a telegram that he sent in regard to
the tariff. 1t would not cost great
deal, am sure, knowing how Mr.

"BLUEBEARD" IS DEAD.
Pierre Rey Succumbs to Illness in
French Prison.

MARSEILLES, France, October 80
R).-Pierre Rey, alias Jerome Prat, So
year-old "Bluebeard." charged with the
murder of three of his f1ancees, died to-
day in prison. He became i'll shortly
after his arrest in June in Africa. Last
week preliminary hearings in his case
we're held and numerous witnesses pre-
sented damaging evidence linking him
with many crimes.
Suspicion against Rey was first
aroused when woman who owned a
villa he had just purchased was found
strangled. Rey was missing and police
began a search throughout France for
him. He was finally arrested in Algiers
after police had unearthed the bodies of
two other women near his villa.

was little cheering during the march.
President Gerardo Machado, who
has achieved fame as q brutal die
tator, and his official family, and
officers of the United States war
veterans, reviewed the parade from
a specially constructed stand on the
Malecon.
The spirit of American jingoism
prevailed among the veterans in the
line of march, as cheer leaders every
hundred feet led a tremendous cheer
for the Cuban republic, to the great
amusement of Cubans collected
along the line of march.
A battalion of the American
trained Cuban army and troop of
Cuban cavalry, together with the
delegation from the state of Massa-
chusetts, brought up the rear.
At Maine Park, Machado and Ad-
miral Hugh Wiley, of the Atlantic
Squadron, U. S. N, raised the Amer
lean and Cuban flags together.

ASK ANTI-STRIKE
BILL FOR INDIA;
UNREST GROWS
Textiles and Railroads
Tied Up

The recent bulletin on foreign
labor conditions issued by the de-
partment of labor at Washington
reports considerable unrest among
the workers in India, accompanied
by several large strikes which have
succeeded in tying up two major in
dustries.
Strikers succeeded in tying up
completely the Bombay textile in
dustry during their walk-out, which
lasted several months, and railway
transport has been dislocated by a
strike of the railway workers. Both
strikes have resulted in severe mea-
sures from the government, which
has employed police and soldiers in
discriminatory.
The bulletin also reports that
merchants associations and cham
bers of commerce are asking the
government to intercede and break
the strike. With this end in view
trades disputes bill, similar TO the
ones passed in England and Austria
liza, will be introduced into the
legislative assembly, for the purpose
of providing for the settlement of
all labor disputes by the govern
ment arbitration board law.
This would legalize direct inter
vention by the government troops
for the forcible breaking of strikes.

ANTI-COMMUNIST
LAW PUSHED BY
COLOMBIA GOVT
Reformist Bloc Uses It
for Politics

BOGOTA, Colombia, Oct. TO-
Both the government party and the
socialists and liberals are making
capital out Of the conservative adj
ministration's project granting the
executive department extraordinary
facilities to curb the alleged activity
of Communists.
The proposed bill, which is being
debated in the chamber of deputies,
would give the government the right
to summarily arrest and exile Com
munists, and would virtually declare
the Communist Party in Colombia
illegal, making the present regime
a dictatorship.
Both the conservative party and
the liberal socialist coalition, which
is opposing the measure for polit-
ical reasons, are charging each other
with making capital of the "Com-
munist menace" The liberals, seek
ing to gain power, think that by OPP
posing the government on this is
sue they will win various sections
of the population.
On the other hand, the govern
ment is utilizing the Communist
menace" to suppress labor activity
and unrest among the workers.
The liberals have agreed upon a
congressional boycott, thus prevent
ing a quorum necessary for the
passing of the law.

sabotaged the strike and were re-
sponsible for its defeat.
The Communist candidate called
attention to the deplorable working
conditions prevailing in the steel in
dustry because of lack of organiza-
ton. The. steel barons, he said, are
making millions in profits out of the
unpaid labor of the steel workers.
He condemned the reactionary Of
ficials Of the A. F. of L. for refus-
ing to take any steps to organize
the unorganized workers in the steel
and other industries and insisted
that this task must be performed
by the rank and file under progress
sive, militant leadership.
The Foster election rally in Chi
cago was attended by about 1900
workers. approximately twice the
number that came to hear Reverend
Norman Thomas, the Presbyterian
candidate of the socialist party.
The Communist meeting would have
been larger but for the action of
the labor takers who own Ashland
Auditorium, Plumbers Hall and
Amalgamated Hall in refusing the
use of their meeting places to the
Workers (Communist) Party.
In the last month of the election
campaign, the interest Of the masses
in the Communist program increases
and the Foster and Gitlow meeting
shows Increasing attendance. The
presidential candidate of the Work
ers (Communist) Party is now
speaking in the southern states of
Alabama and Georgia.
Gitlow is now swinging east from
San Francisco, following Foster in
the principal cities of the middle

wind up their tours with a monster

put up a sharp fight against all

Again providing the most fiery
and inspiring speech to go on with
the struggle, Lena Chernenko, Pas
saik strike leader, was enthusiast
cally received by the workers. When
in her talk, she pointed out clearly
that the workers must fight in or

tumultuous applause.

Workers Force Action.
The strike began Tuesday night
at about 10 p. M following an order
said to have been sent out from the
International headquarters of the
Railway Clerks at Cincinnati when
the workers could no longer be re-
strained. The open shop express
company which in one form or an
other has been fighting labor fol-
many years has taken advantage of
the confusion arising out of the
jurisdictional fight carried on by the
union officials. The company has
also violated decision handed down
by the Board of Arbitration which
on January IS, 1927, granted SO
per week wage increase to the I'M
derpaid men. In addition it has
established a company union.
Members of all three unions be-
gan walking out of their terminals
last night. James Casual, vice pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Team

ton to the strike by saying: eve

ever, it was learned yesterday, from
the men.
Workers Show Solidarity.
An attempt early today by Off

Achievement For Party.
"The splendid response of our
Party membership in the drive to
put Red candidates on the ballot in
New York City and state" reads a
statement issued last night by Re-
becca Grecht, State Communist
Campaign Manager, sis a distinct
achievement for our Party. It's
significance lies in the fact that it
points to the growing influence of
the Workers (Communist) Party
among New York workers, both in
the state and city. The growing ex-
ploitation of New York workers in
industry, the issuance of drastic in
functions and the use of gangsterism
in strikes is bringing home to work
ers the fact that the bosses, their
judicial and police tools and their
political puppets are common
enemy, and that the class struggle
platform of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party is their only hope"
The final wind-up in the New
York election campaign will take

Marking Defies Japan.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 10.-The in
auguration in Marking today of
General Chang Kai-shek as presi-
dent of the Marking government
appears to be bold bid by Nan
King, with the support of Britain
end the United States, for the adj
herence of Manchuria to the regime,
and a direct slap at Japan, in the
opinion of informed circles here.
More than one aspect of the
changed personnel of the regime
makes its duration questionable.
The specific issue on which a clash
is expected is the inclusion of Chang
Hsueh-liang, dictator of Manchuria,
among the 16 members of the Nan
king council of state.
Council Weak.
This is regarded as an indication
that MRnchuria is considered an in
tegral part of China, despite the
threats Of the Japanese government
that it would prevent such an agree
ment. A further defiance of Japan
was seen in the replacing of the
Japanese deputy inspector general
Of Chinese maritime customs by a
Britisher.
The coalition character of Chang
Kai-shek'sf regime will not assure
it long life, it is believed, since most
of the dissenting war lords and
fractions are again included. The
council includes Feng Yu-hsiang and
Marshal Yen Hsi-shan, governor of
Shansi. Neither war lord has ever
been able to come to lasting agree
ment with Chang Kai-shek.
SHANGHAI, Oct. 10.-The Nank-
ing regime will be pledged to fight
Communism at home and abroad
and to eternal opposition to the
teachings Of the Soviet Union, said
General Chang Kai-shek, newly
elected president of China, in an in
terview with United Press CORE
spondent today.
Chang also assured the CORE
spondent that he will clear out all
radical elements within the next two
or three months, and ruthlessly sup
press radical working class move
ments.

firmed the conclusion drawn from
