Jobs Move to Mexico
AS Imperialists Plan

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 23.-lt may
not be cheering news to those work
ers of the United States who are en-
gagged in the refining and smelling
of Mexican ores, to learn that the
Mexican government, now that the
United States imperialists have man.
aged to obtain cooperation from
government officials, is going to al
low freer importation of machinery
and other material to work up Mex
lean ores here instead of shipping
them to the United States.
The minister of the interior has
allowed for the freer issuance of i'm
port certificates Of all such material.
This is one of many instances
illustrating the necessity OF closer
unity between the workers of the
United States and those of Latin
America.

Venizelos Regime
Sentences Communist
to Ia Years in Prison

ATHENS, Nov. 23.--Zaphiri Cous-
sizes, a Communist who is charged
by the state with trying to assas-
sinate Admiral Kondouriotos, presi-
dent of Greece, a year ago, was
sentenced to ID years in prison,
with an additional three months on
the charge of carrying arms lille
gally.
Theer was no evidence against
him except what could be provided
by police and spies and the sentence
has aroused general wave of pro-
test among the workers.
Police say that Coussies tried to
kill himself by swallowing auinine,
but it is generally believed that his
temporary blindness was caused by
police torture, and that if he had
attempted suicide it was because
he had been driven mad with tor
ture.

William 2. Foster, once seaman,
leader of the great steel strike and
recently the Communist candidate
for president, will speak to marine
workers at the International Sea-
mems Club, % South st.
The disaster of the Vestris has
caused general discomfort among all
seafarers, as it exposes the dangers
faced by seamen who, because they
lack organization, are forced to sail
in coffin ships. Foster will speak
on the problems of all marine work
ers, both ship and shore, all of
whom are invited to attend.
Admission is free to marine work
ers, but others attending will be
asked to contribute 25 cents. Long

Italian Censorship

ROME, Nov. 23.-Premier Mus

to the Milan project of police who
placed the premier's own newspaper,
Popolo DItalia, under censorship
rule.
The censorship was imposed be-
cause the newspaper, which is ed
tied by Arnoldo Mussolini, the pre-
mier's brother, published sensa-
tional crime story such as had been
ordered given only passing attention
by the government. Arnoldo Mus
.solini agreed that the censorship
was just.
The incident is causing much ridi-
cule throughout the European press
where illusions to the "fascist's
beautiful gesture" are plentiful and

British Textile Bosses
Demand Wages Be Cut

BRADFORD, England, Nov. 23.-
The Industrial Council, a British
textile manufacturers organization,
is now holding conferences with the
representatives of the textile unions
here on Improving" the textile in
dustry here. The improvement pro-
posal made by the manufacturers is
that wages Of the textile operatives
be slashed This would effect many
thousands of severely exploited
workers.
What the workers are bitter about
is the fact that their union repre-
sentatives are by no means putting
up a stiff fight against this vicious
proposal. On the contrary, the dis
cussion among the comforting col
leagues" is whether the wage cut
shall be large or small and whether
the tariff on textiles should be
raised

FASCIST SPAIN
FEARS LABOR
WILL REVOLT
Famine Bread Prices
Force Imports

MADRID, Nov. 23-Facing a con-
dition that amounts to famine in the
bread supply Of Spain, the fascist
regime of Primo de Rivera is now
forced to abandon its previous favor
ing of the. feudalist grain growing
landholders of two provinces, since
in the other provinces the high prices
of bread have been becoming men
ace to public safety as industrial
workers threaten to revolt against
the high prices of food with strike
demands for higher wages.
As result, the Spanish govern
ment has reduced the tariff on i'm
ported wheat and corn from so TO 80
per cent. This comedies with
granting of 100000 pesetas credit
by the Argentine government, which
will undoubtedly be taken in wheat
and corn to be imported to halt the
mass discomfort.
This will accent the crisis due to
last years unfavorable trade balance
of 200,000,000 pesetas.
Previously, the feudalist grain
growers of Spain paid no heed to
their backward methods of opera
ton and, protected by the tariff, en-
riched themselves at the expense of.
the industrial workers. The latter
arc evidently in mood to suffer
no further.

union. This time, however, he
planned to permit even Communists
to come in and to even run for Of
flee after which he would announce
fake elections. In these elections,
the N. 0. c. statement discloses, the
leading left wingers would not be
permitted, and in the meantime.
Schlesinger thinks, the workers
would come back to his collapsing
company union to bolster it up in
its death throes.
In leading up to the final stage of
the plan" of fake peace mani
festo, Schlesinger has, as prelimin-
airy steps, the spreading among the
workers in the market of fake peace
rumors. For the last few days his
henchmen have been telling the
workers that Schlesinger and the
left wing are about to conclude a
peace" agreement. This is being
done in order to demoralize the
ranks of the workers who are now
fast rallying to the final drive for
establishing the new left wing ma
tional garment workers union.
After his agents have keyed up the
workers with false hopes of a
peace" he will come out with his
manifesto.
The Schlesinger plan also includes
the putting forward of series of
fake demands to the bosses asso-
citation of the dress manufacturers.
He will ask them for an agreement
SO that he can head off the general
strike the left wing is planning to
call, while at the same time he will
tell the workers that he is signing
only six month agreement so that
a strike of the dressmakers and
cloakmakers can be called six
months later, which he never in
tends to do.
Forward Spreads Lies.
While the rumors and manifestos
are being splashed all over his vel
low private organ, the socialist
Forward, this same organ will
spread lies and calumnies against
the leaders of the left wing.
The statement concludes by say
ing that the workers recognize and
will have nothing to do with the
right wings hypocritical proposals,
and calls them to rally around the
left wing union for the establish
ment of union conditions and in or
der to prevent the installation of
the piece work system which the
Schlesinger gang intends to accom-
plish.

German Preparations
Experts Meet Soon

BERLIN, Nov. 20.--It was be-
lieved here that official invitation
will soon be extended to all govern
ments involved in Germany's repara-
tions and United States war debts to
appoint experts" to settle the
reparations that Germany is to pay
to France and England.
The United States will not be
represented on this body, it was be-
lieved, but will be called in on con-
sultation. Parker Gilbert, American
reparation general will probably be
the chief consultant, and will repre-
sent both the American government
and American bankers.
Indications are that Germany and
the United States will persist in
their position that war debts and
reparations be considered separately
as opposed to the British and French
plan that Germany pay as much in
reparations as these governments
must pay to the United States.
