This whole city is laughing with

with 800 guardsmen from the 241st
Artillery Battery, now cooling their
heels at police headquarters, to
smash the proposed march Of thou

against the weather, decided TO

later in the afternoon and permit

At least 20 and possibly 25
persons were injured, some
of them seriously, late last
night when two 81" trains
collided on the Eighth Ave.
Line at 69th st. and Colum-

The trains, wooden and an

and caused an immediate
panic among hundreds of
passengers who were return
ing to their homes.
Half a dozen ambulances
were at once rushed to the
scene of the accident.
: The operation of wooden
trains has been the subject
of continued agitation in the
city, with the result that the
transit commission has been
forced nomipy-ely to ban
their use. Thus far, however,
the traction lines have con-
tinued to violate the order
with complete immunity.
A number of accidents
have previously occurred, the
most recent one in Brooklyn.

MAN KILLED BY TRAIN.

CHESTER, Pa, Nov. ID W.H.-
William J. -Oglesby, rs, retired mu-
stefan, was killed today when struck
by a Pennsylvania Railroad train
while walking on a trestle bridge
near here.
These war-like promises were
shortly confirmed by sensational
facts. On the one hand, in accord
ance with the organization plan
which was recently adopted for the
navy, two new cruisers will shortly
be put upon the stocks; on the other
hand, the ministerial council lately
resolved to buy abroad quantity of
cannon, machine guns and other
implements of war, which cannot be
manufactured in the Spanish natio-
nal factories.
These insane armament designs of
the dictator evidently correspond
with the requirements of imperial
list world policy. The part played
by Spain among the big bourgeois
nations is not a prominent one, but
as the country boasts of having %
million inhabitants, it is an import
ant reservoir of cannon fodder and
it assumes strategic significance
and, moreover it must not be over
looked as purveyor Of foodstuffs.

SPANISH DICTATOR-IS
PLANNING FOR WAR

But it is not these admissions
which represent the decisive charac-
teristic of this proclamation pub
lished by the dictator. 1t is also
not only the assurance, given on
other occasions, that the patriotic
union" will, within measurable
time, take the power out of the
hands of the dictator, nor is it even
the weight attaching to the corpora
tive organization, those famous COM
mittees, which are intended to sup
port the dictatorship and which are
zealously propagated by the social
lists. The essential point in this
manifesto is that it is admitted;
Spain is preparing for war!
Naturally, this admission is not
and could not be made openly. But
it is contained in it indirectly and
in a yelled form. This is all the
more important, as it is the first
time in which there has been men
ton in an official document of the
dictator of SPANS preparation for
the imperialist war, and this men,
ton is quite clear, although it is
masked.
AS was to be expected, this thesis
is promulgated in the form which
has now become classic in the eyes
of the international bourgeoisie: it
is not the imperialist war for which
preparations are being made; no,
only defense against possible at
tack" Spain is to devote itself dur
ing the coming period to the task
of ''reorganizing and co-ordinating
fleet, army and air force in order to
achieve maximum effect with a mini
mum exertion of force -. We must
have the assurance that all moral,
material and technical elements suf-
flee to effect the arming Of the ter
ritory of the fatherland in the very
shortest time against eventual at
tacck."

RUHR BOSSES IN
NEW ATTACK ON
metal WORKERS
Socialists Aiding in
Tricking Men Back

(WrelesS to the Daily Worker
BERLIN, Nov. 14.-The employ
ers in the heavy industry of the
Ruhr are encouraged by the Duis
burg verdict of the Labor Court
supporting their lockout of the
metal workers and are joyful at the
readiness to compromise shown by
the reformist trade union leaders.
The employers now plan a new at
tack on the workers.
Negotiations were held today,
conducted by the social democratic
government president of Duessel-
dorf.
The bourgeois press is of the
opinion that the employers will pro-
pose to resume work under the old
terms while negotiations continue.
This would mean to wear away the
spirit Of resistance of the workers
and end in their complete defeat.
An American Trick.
The plan of the bosses is to get
the men back to work, and continue
negotiations until the end of Janu-
sry, the terms of the old and new
agreements then to be applied to
the time between now and January.
The intention of the employers
to force the workers to a complete
surrender is obvious. The trade
union leaders fall in line with the
employers and are ready to per-
suade the men to return to the old
terms.
In the Reichstag the debate on the
Ruhr lockout continues. Brandes,
the president of the German Metal
Workers Union, involved in the
struggle, rallied at the Communist
Party and against the committees
elected by the Ruhr workers in de-
fiance of the trade union bureau
crazy. He advocated government
mediation.
The German nationalists, Lin
deiner and Wildau, were delighted
at the united front on the arbitra-
tion question from the social demo-
Gratis to the German nationalists.
Moldehauer, in behalf of the peo-
pies party, welcomed the Duisburg
verdict as "a suitable basis for nego-
tiations."
Colosser, Of the economic party,
praised the British trade union lead
crs for maintaining economic
peace" especially Macdonald, who
agrees to wage reductions to "pre-
serve peace" The democrats and
others demanded reforms of the ar

AFTER the festivities arranged by
~ by the, government to celebrate
the fifth anniversary of the coup
d'etat, P mo de Rivera felt it in
cumbent upon him to issue mani
festo to the Spaniards. 1t had be-
come exident that such a proclama-
ton was necessary in order to coun-
teract the pessimism, which had
seized upon the reactionary elements
after the failure of the demonstra-
lions in honor of the dictatorship.
1t is hardly to be assumed that this
appeal will suffice to remove the
impression left by the thousands of
arrests made in connection with the
so-called plot of September IL, for
these arrests have brought the "pop-
ularity" and stability" of the gov
eminent under a very searching
light.
AS a matter of fact it is appar-
emily a question of banal mani
festo intended to raise the spirits
of the supporters Of the patriotic
, union" by means of high-sounding
phrases about the "grandiose" sup
port, which public opinion has rem
dered to the patriotic union. But
ho VIKINGS are in reality in regard
to the popular enthusiasm" for the
dictatorship and the dictator him
self has been all too clearly shown

pleasant, Primo de Rivera was OBJ
liged to find fault with the majors.

after September 18th he would &C
