From indications the 8-Hour Day

both numerically and as a demon
stration of the strength and soli-
darity behind the strike of the silk

morrow morning they will be able to

The strikers children's organiza-

formal application to the arrange

march in the parade as an indie

organizations are self governing
bodies that have contributed much to
the spirit and morale of the strike
of their elders. The Youth Section
of the Associated is expected also to
apply for a separate march division
tomorrow.
The whole attention of the COM

now concentrated on the question of

HOOVER TO CALL
NEW ARMS MEET
More Pressure Against
European Rivals

WASHINGTON, Nov. IRE
newed pressure against the Euro
pean imperialist rivals of the United
States through the medium of an
other disarmament" conference,
will be among the first steps in the
Hoover program when he becomes
president next March, it was learned
here today.
From unofficial but unquestion-
able reliable sources it was ascer-
tanned that other steps in the pro-
gram will include refusals to extend
further loans to Europe to help
meet the increased obligations of the
Dawes plan for Germany and more
stringent policy on war debt collec-
tons. All of these will be means
Of forcing Europe to bend more
humbly before American power.
In the first message which Hoo
yer will send to Congress, he will
advocate the increased cruiser pro-
gram which Coolidge initiated i'm
mediately following the failure of
the recent Geneva conference called
ostensibly for the limitation of arma-
ments.
The move for new disarmament
conference is seen as an attack on
the political field against the Euro
pean rivals of Yankee Imperialism,
while at the same time it will be
used as maneuver to force in
creased ornaments at home. The
European countries will again be
exposed as unwilling to disarm,
fact which is, of course, true. At
the same time the U. S. Imperialists
will be able to come before the
American people and proclaim the
necessity of increased ornaments
due to the European menace.

Locked-out metal workers and police

Labor Court, an Independent judi

favor of the employers in the Ruhr

HOOVER TO SAIL
WITHIN A WEEK
Latin American Trip
All Set

PALO ALTO, Cal, Nov. 12.-Be-
hind the menacing guns of the bat
tleship Maryland, Herbert Hoover,
Wall Streets incoming agent at the
White House, will sail from San
Pedro next Monday to tour the Latin
American provinces of the United
States.
Detailed plans for the tour were
worked out after Hoover had an
nounced that he would make every
effort to push trade and investments
in Latin America and other lucrative
fields for the expansion of big bust
ness. The aggressive policy an
nounced by Hoover promises to
sharpen Anglo-American relations
already somewhat strained by the
Anglo French alliance.
A warm reception is being planned
for Hoover by the militant workers
of Latin America, it is believed, in
spite of the preparations which the
puppet governments of a number of
Latin American states are making
for his reception.
The luxurious Admiral's cabin on
the Maryland is being prepared for
Hoover.
Fletcher Goes Along.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IL (UP).-
Henry B. Fletcher, ambassador to
Italy, will accompany President
elect Hoover on his South American
tour as representative of the State
Department, the White House an
nounced today.
Fletcher, representative of Amer
lean big business at the court Of the
fascists, who have continued their
reign of terror against workers in
the United States and other coun-
tries as well as in Italy, was chosen
as Hoover's right-hand-man in Hoo
ver's imperialist mission into South
America from score of other elig-
ible jingoes.
1t is considered curious coinci-
dence that Fletcher, who with Hoo
yer will pave the way for continued
and increased imperialist suppress
sion in the South American countries,
is the same person who has allowed
the black hand of fascism to reach
across the sea to America to snuff
out the lives of anti-fascist workers
without even a gesture of protest.
