Mr.. Macdonald proved once more
& treacherous leader to the labo-
movement of England and India. Mr.
Macdonald has proved once more that
+. he and his followers are imperialists.
The labor Party of England has made
q disastrous mistake in supporting
the Simon Commission. This commits
sion which is appointed by the i'm
perialists is going to decide what kind
Of home rule should be given to In
dian people. Mr.. Macdonald and his
party say that in supporting this
commission they will be able "to serve
the best interests of the masses of
India"
Lord Birkenhead and his die-hard
brothers have no reputation to lose
in India. But what are we to think
Of the performance of Mr.. MacDon-
aid? He has tried to run with the
hare and hunt with the hound. He
asked that the relative status of the
bodies-the Simon Commission and
the Committee of the Indian Parlia-
ilCht--SilOuiu Dc utllfltu. he DlPdI6V
for IAN equality of status" Mr.. Bald
win in his reply did not definitely say
no but politely suggested that this
could not be done.
Mr.. MacDonald's next suggestion
was that the Simon Commission
should have an Indian commission sit
ting with them, Sir Simon presding
over the joint sitting of both, and
the Indian representatives having ex-
actly the same rights and status. The
prime minister in his reply said much
about friendship and equality but as
to the particular suggestion of the
ex-premier he said that ha would leave
the commission to determine it's own
procedure. Mr.. Mcdonald who is
supposed to be the leader of the work
ing class, was contented with this kind
of answer.
So Lord Birkenhead praised Mr..
Macdonald and Mr.. Macdonald
praised Lord Birkenhead for the lat
ter's very liberal ideas and sincerity.
We do not know VIII. m Mr.. MacDon-
aid wanted to deceive by this high
sounding nonsense. If his object was
to tickle the vanity of the Indian Ma
tionalist leaders he must be disap-
pointed by this time as there is unity
in boycotting this commission.
If he wanted to deceive the lead
ers Of the Indian trade union. m.yve-
ment he must be miserable as the

GERMAN TEXTILE
WORKERS FIGHT
FOR 0-HOUR DAY
100000 Mill Hands Are
Involved in Struggle

BERLIN, (By MaiD .-Germany's
100000 textile workers are struggling
back painfully toward the 8-hour day.
lost in the deflation year Of 1928
Despite the resistance of the powerful
Textile Workers Union, cotton and
wooden mill workers, in common with
nearly all other German unionists
were thrown back to the 8 and 10
hour day. Since then the heavy i'm
positions of the Dawes plan, born en-
tirely by the workers, have prevented
rapid march back to the shorter
work day.
Through hundreds of strikes, tex
tile workers have advanced in the past
4 years until now the majority have
the 51-hour week. But $4,000, how
ever, have regained the 46-hour week
won during the revolution while 3
quarter million still toll the full 81
hours.
Win Increases.
The past year has been favorable,
marked by wage increases Of 10 to
Is per cent, but even so, women earn
but dollar a day and men average
SIPS. The union membership has
stood stationary around 100000.
In beautiful new building in Ber-
lin the Textile Workers Union main
tains its headquarters. No union
building in America is so beautifully
decorated and few so spotlessly clean.
German efficiency and method stand
out, too. The unions library, highly
specialized, numbers 10000 volumes
and complete files of important trade
papers. In the economics division 300
labor and textile papers are on refer
ence and a corps of young women
work at clipping, indexing and filing
every important scrap of information
of use to the union.

at this congress. AS the speech of
Paul Boncour shows, the French So
cial democrats place themselves on
the side of French capitalism in the
questions of the evacuation of the
Rhineland and PREPARATIONS, and this
brings them into conflict with the
erman social democrat.
with regard to home policy, the
Socialist Party of France has shown
itself to be a purely petty-bourgeois
radical party which rejects the united
front with the working class in favor
of the block with the left-wing bour-
geoisie.
Having regard to such an attitude,
it is clear how much value is to be
attached to the phrases of the French
socialists concerning international
democracy as a guarantee for world
peace, for now as before they support

alists to accept the commission and to
work with it.
The "imperialist tendencies of Ram
say Macdonald" were attacked sew
eral days ago in telegram to the
Workers weekly from Lens.n Cha.A-
an Lal, president of the All-India
Trade Union Congress. In his tele-
gram the Indian labor leader declared,
"All classes of India are dismayed by
the betrayal by the Labor Party.
Macdonald and Company have writ
ten shameful page in the history of
both nations"
Macdonald and a considerable Sec
ton of the British Labor Party have
supported the Simon Commission in
spite of the protests of Indian nation
alists. The Labor Party is represent
ed on the Commission, which the In
dian leaders declare "can only regis
ter the wishes of the imperialist
bourgeoisie."
The Commission which will arrive
in Bombay on February 3rd will be
greeted by general strike. The In
dian Nationalist Congress, the Bonn
bay Municipal Workers Union and
other trade union organizations are
making plans for nationwide walk
out.

SHARKEY IS MODEST,
BUT FEELS HE'LL WIN
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January IAN air Of
patient silence hung heavily today
about Jack Sharkey, whose New Year
resolution Of no more blood and thun-
der" outbursts, excluded even pre-
diction as To what dire happenings
would be visited upon Tom Heeney IN
the Madison Square Garden ring to-
morrow night.
Accustomed as the public IL TO
Sharkey's loud speaking. his audience
was totally unprepared for the almost
demure edition Of the Boston heavy
weight who trekked into New York TO
report for examination by the New
York State Athletic Commission. Cues
toned az TO the outcome Of his IL
round melee with the brawny New
Zeala nder. Jack only smiled and said
in a small voice:
II think I will win" He felt quite
''all right"
But through the veil Of reticence
that has fallen so suddenly over the
massive form there came occasional
flashes OF the old Sharkey-the cocky
youth-who gave the eve" to ancient
Mike McTizue and Jimmy Maloney,
and even tried to stare out Of counte-
| nance Jack Dempsey, the old Nanassa
| mauler himself. before falling before
the former champions sledgeliks

last Summer.
Why should I spend thousands Of
| dollars training for a little guy like
