Opposition Develops.

MANAGUA, Jan. 18.--The meas
ure calling for complete American
control of the elections in Nicaragua
next October received slight set
back in the chamber of deputies
with has voted for modified sub
stitute measure. The deputies declare
that American control of the cleo
tons is impossible under Nicaraguan
law, as no foreigner is permitted to
hold office.
The superseded bill, conforming t.
the wishes of the American state de-
partment, was rammed thru the Mica
raguan senate which is solidly packed
with reactionaries. But the measure
has met with some opposition in the
chamber, a number of groups and
individuals opposing it. 1t is being
limited that conservatives of the
Chamorro faction are attempting to
defeat the American bill in revenge
for the State Departments refusal
to recognize Chamorro as legiti-
mate candidate in the Forthcoming
elections.
The American measure provides
for Americans as presidents of every
election board in the country. Many
of the poll watchers" would be ma
rines.

Fake Evidence Against
USSR in London Trial

LONDON, Jan. 1S. Wilfred
Thomas Mccartney. a British sub
iect, and George Hansen, a Ger
man, were today sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment on charges of
Espionage in behalf of Russia"
The sentence includes two years
of hard labor. Mccartney charged
that he had been sentenced on evil
dence faxed by Scotland Yard. He
said he had been offered bride
and immunity if he testified about
purely fictitious Soviet organiza-
tons operating in Great Britain"
LONDON, Jan. 18.-That Scotland
Yard had forged letters and offered
him large bride in order to invent
testimony against purely fictitious
Soviet spy organizations" was the
startling charge made by Wilfred
Francis Mccartney at hearing of
the case of alleged espionage by the
Soviet Union. Mccartney declared
that he had been offered money and
immunity if he invented testimony
against the Soviet Union and faxed
evidence against George Hansen, who
is on trial for alleged espionage.
Mccartney charged in his testimo-
ny that the letters which were being
used against him had been forged by
Scotland Yard.
That Great Britain has been MAX
ing large shipments Of munitions and
airplanes to Baltic states as part of
her campaign against the Soviet I'm
ion was another revelation made by
Mccartney, who declared that he had
been approached by Monkland, an I'M
derwriter at Lloyds, who volunteered
to give details of the forgery of the
famous Zinoviev letter, and to secure
precise information about the ship
ment of arms to the Baltic states.
(The anti-Soviet forgeries revealed
in the Mccartney trial are believed to
be an attempt on the part of the Brit
ish government to reply to substan-
tiated evidence of British espionage
in the Soviet Union.)

BOSTON ALEETS"
RULED OFF BALLOT
Reactionary I.L.G.W.U.
Dictates Nominations

BOSTON, March 23.-As a pre-
lininary to the course of action the
right wing will follow in the coming
convention of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union to
be held here on May Z, the reaction
airy clique in control of the Boston
Joint Board railroaded thru the nom
nation of convention delegates at
meetings of Locals 80 and 46, held
Wednesday night, and ruled off the
ballot all progressives nominated by
the membership.
The same methods hsere followed in
the election of an election and objec-
ton committee. 1t was thru this COM
mittee, which has to pass upon the
eligibility of all candidates going on
the ballot, that left wing and progress
sive candidates were refused the right
to be on the ballot. Three of the five
members Of the election committee
were themselves candidates for cleo
ton. They Immediately endorsed their
own candidacy and eliminated all 9TH
ers.
The protests made by the entire
membership to the International Of
ficials now in Boston go unheeded.
On the contrary, General Secretary
Baroff and several other vice-presi-
dents here are busy spreading rumors
that the "reds" intend to cause
trouble at the convention, in an at
tempt to ward off the strong serti-
ment for unity in the union. The
main reason for their presence here,
however, is that the International
hasn't sufficient money to pay for
the initial costs of the convention.
They are therefore trying to raise
some from the Boston Joint Board,
which seems unlikely, since the
Boston organization has been i'm
poverished by the right wing admin
istration.

night by the entire membership at a
stormy meeting in Cooper Union,
after being exposed as the cwner of
several mems furnishings stores in

chase of the stores. He expected this

buttons which called upon the mem
bership to postpone discussion on this
topic urtil the strikes conducted by
the organization were over. Another
resolution recalled strike tax levied
on the union members. Several
strikes in out of town shops are being
conducted by the organization.
The membership, anxious not to
give the officials an excuse for the
calling off of the strikes in question,
voted for the rcsolutnons, but declared
their intention of ending Berger's
managership Of the union, leaving
him as custodian of his mems fur
nishings stores.

''Los Angeles will never let Oakland

scription drive in which this district
intends to add more than its share
of the 10000 new readers to The
DAILY WORKER" writes Paul
Reiss. DAILY WORKER agent in the
southern California city.
Reiss' letter accompanies an envel-
ope full of new subscriptions and it
looks as if the determination of the
Los Angeles section to capture and
keep the lead in the big campaign,
would succeed in keeping the district
at the head of the drive.
"This is by no means the end" Reiss
continues, promising that Los Angeles
will many times more than complete
its quota of the subscribers before
May Day, the date set for the closing
of the campaign.
The Los Angeles workers are furi-
ously pushing ahead their activity in
order to beat the competition which
the other California towns are giving
them, but it is expected that if Oak
land works as hard as Los Angeles
tie may result.

OIL KING EvADES

Broken Contract

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Pious
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., sometime
teacher of Sunday School classes and
Bible courses, and chief stakeholder
of the scab Consolidation Coal Com
pany mines in West Virginia, today
employed a time-worn subterfuge in
order to beat an ethical retreat
from the charge that his company had
broken contract with the United
Mine Workers Union.
Testifying before the senate COM
mittee investigating the mine in
dustry, the younger oil king dis
claimed responsibility for the acts of
his 'subordinates." Besides, he in
sisted, the Consolidation Coal Com
pany had not really broken its con-
,ract with the union. 1t had merely
shut down operations when it no
longer wished to continue with the
agreement. Then it opened at the
request Of unemployed men who de-
sired to work at lower scale"
Charles NJ. Schwab, president of
the Bethlehem Steel Company was
more definite III his testimony but no
less altruistic. "8ou might be sur
prised," he told the senators, ''but in
The forty years / have been in the
steel business, l have not made a
penny out of Bethlehem steel"
He likewise condoned the attack on
the miners by pleading necessity"
There are 100000 too many miners,
he said. These miners should leave
the mines and find place elsewhere,
he stated. He did not say where.
