t13.-The sycophantic reception pre-.
pared for Herbert Hoover when he
arrived here from Santiago at p.
m. today was marred by a hostile
demonstration, despite the great
precautions taken by the police to
prevent this. Workers, with a ban
ner reading "Viva Sandino," burst
through the police lines near the
railroad station, despite the pres
ence of a guard of 1900 cavalrymen
and 1,500 police.
A large crowd gathered at the
station to see the next puppet of
Wall Street was not permitted on
the platform for fear of trouble
The heavy police guard was present
because of the rumors spread of at
ten1pts to assassinate the American
imperialist-a plot framed up by
the government in order to mer-
cilessly suppress any demonstration
on the part of the workers or ma
l Stionalists.
When Hoover arrived he was
greeted by the claque prepared for
the occasion and by many American
and Argentine flags.
The workers who burst through
the lines to demonstrate in solidar-
ity for Sandino were hurriedly
seized by the police, and anyone else
in the neighborhood who might have
aroused suspicion was also seized
After Hoover has accepted the
suave diplomacy of the Argentine
diplomats he will leave Sunday
morning on an Argentine battleship
for MonteTideo, the Paraguay cap
ital, where after making personal
maneuvers regarding the Chaco oil
fields dispute he will leave Monday
on the U. S. S. warship Utah fol
the United States, with possible
passing visit to his puppet in Ha-
yana.

that the Comintern should be

SOVIET PRESS.
HITS WAR PLOT
Litvinov Speech Chief
Topic

(Wireless to the Daily Worker)
MOSCOW, u. S. S. R.. Dec. 49,
The speech of Maxim Litvinov, Peo-
pies Comissar for Foreign Relations
of the Soviet Union, to the Central
Executive Council concerning the
peace policy of the Soviet govern
ment, and Litvinov's letter to Lou
don, chairman of the disarmament
commission of the League of Ma
tions, demanding that a meeting be
called in the near future to con-
slider the Soviet's proposals for
complete disarmament, were the
chief topics of interest in the Soviet
press today.
Isvestia, official organ of the
Soviet government, declares that
Litvinov's speech and letter sum up
the Soviet's efforts for peace. "The
Soviet Union is resisting all at
tempts to interfere with internal af-
fairs and is fighting for recognition
of the existence of two parallel econ
omic and political systems, capital
ism and socialism. The Soviet
Union also strives to extend econ
omic relations with other powers.
Unless the disarmament commits
sions meet Immediately for concrete
work the commission lis illusory,"
concl11daS ISvaStia
"Ecoaomitcheskaya Shisn" Econ
omic Life) declares that the policy
OF the capitalist states towards the
Soviet Union is guided by warlike,
not peaceful, intentions. "The
Soviet government is therefore COM
pelled to pay chief attention to this
question of the war danger. Pow
erful weapons for the Soviet Union
were the exposure of intrigues and
plots of the capitalist states and the
watchfuiness of the working masses
on behalf of the Soviet Union," it
concludes.

New World Conflict Seen
In BOllvlaM Oil Struggle
By HARRISON GEORGE.

Especial to the Daily Worker)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 13.
Behind the supposed "insignifi-
cant" dispute between Bolivia and
Paraguay over the frontier in the
Gran Chaco region, far off in the
interior of South America, lies all
the combustible materials and more,
than sent ten million men to their
death following the shots fireG at
Sarajevo over Ia years ago. In fact
it can be stated in. cold-typed facts,
that the United States has begun
armed conflicts with England.
Oil Basis for War.
What are the facts? What are
these material bases of war that is
already begun and for which Latin
American workers and peasants are
being mobilized for mutual slaught-
er! What are the forces which we
behold expanding this conflict until
you, the reader of these lines, will
also be swept into imperialist war to
kill and be killed?
What is the war for? Oil And
we will prove it.
Who is the aggressor? United
States imperialists!
Who acts for the United States
inperialists? Charles Evan Hughes,
attorney for Standard Oil and u.
S. member of the Pan-American
Conference on Cancellation and Ar
bitration.
Anglo American Rivalry.
What is its enemy? British oil
interests and British imperialism.
Look at a map of South America.
You find Paraguay little southeast
of the center. In the northern part
of Paraguay you will see two rivers,
one coming from the northeast and
one from the northwest, and joining
near asuncion, the capital of Para
quay. The triangle between those
two rivers, the Paraguay River and
the Pilcomayo River, is what the
capitalist newspapers tell you is the
"desolate" Gran Chaco region, in
habited by "bow-and-arrow" In
dians.
But it happens that the Gran
Chaco is not desolate in one way,
although it is inhabited by Indians.
There are things more dangerous to
world peace than Indians with bows

BIG CLOAK RALLY HITS
SCHLESINGER,S FAKERY

The shop chairmen and active
members conference, held by the
left wing cloak and dressmakers'
union yesterday in Cooper Union,
became a giant forum from which
the so-called peace proposal and in
dustrial program made public by
Benjamin Schlesinger Wednesday,
was stripped of all its pretenses and
shown up to be the hypocritical
fake all his previous "manifestos"
have been.
The several thousands assembled
heard the leaders of the National
Organization Committee of the
Cloak and Dressmakers' Union take
up every item in the fake proposal
Individually and peel every crooked
phrase from it, leaving the skeleton
of deception exposed to the ridicule
of the workers.
Razz Manifesto"
And the workers ridiculed the
manifesto" The meeting, which
was called for the purpose of sig
nifying the end of two years of
struggle for unionism in the indus
try, was one of the most enthus-
iastic ever held, and definite dem
onstration was given that they will
go forward to continue the struggle
against the bosses and the union
wreckers until mighty needle
trades workers international union
is established and union conditions
regained.
Accompanied by all the cymbal
crashing the columns of the forgery
manufacturing Jewish Forward can
hold, the proposal of BENZ. Schles-
niger, pogrom leader, was launched
on the Jewish labor movement, only
to burst with the same feeble pop
as tie other loudly heralded "mani-
festos."
Hit Schlesinger Proposal.
In taking up Schlesinger's pro-
posal, both his plan for "peace" as
we'll as the fake program for the
industry, were taken apart piece
meal by the speakers, some of whom
were Louis Hyman, Joseph Bora
chovich, Charles S. Zimmerman. The
following is summary of their
characterization of the fake pro-
posal:

grom began.
"The so-called- demands that
Schlesinger will present ] to the
bosses are not worth the piper they
are written on That theffive dol

that Schlesinger is consciously aid

Lewis Goes Thru Form
of Electing Himself
President of U.M.W.A.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 13.-John
L. Lewis has reelected himself in
ternational president of the United
Mine Workers of America. Lewis
is the man who seized control of the
miners organization when it had
half a million members, was strong
and growing, and by selling it out
to the employers, sabotaging its
struggles, expelling and wrecking
whole districts, and preventing or
ganization of the unorganized, re-
duced it to its present form of only
a company union.
The miners once belonging to the
U. M. w. A. now join in larger and
larger numbers its militant rival,
the National Miners Union, which is
a real coal miners union and not a
company union.
In former years Lewis and his
machine elected themselves to power
by simply miscounting the votes.
This year it was not necessary,
since, with the real center of the
rank and file miners in the N. M.
u, anybody who ran against Lewis
would have simply been expelled
from the U. M. w. A.
Lewis election of himself and his
whole slate consisted simply in re-
ceiving reports of votes from his
district headquarters, votes in most
cases of locals no longer in the U.
M. W. A., and proclaiming the re-
suits. Lewis statement calls it a
Unanimous" vote. He has abolished
the convention next year.

out of the work they do. Workers
have an intelligent part in undertak-
ings of cooperative nature only if
they operate through organized chan
nels and in accord with policies based
on past information and experience.
The union reflects the genius of the
nation, the customs of the community
in which the Industrial establishment
is located and the attiture and prca-
tices of the industrial management.
That is to say, the spirit and proceed
ure Of the union are not matters de-
termined solely by that group but are
complex rejecting the social and
economic structure as whole.
The union must first meet the prob
lem of providing for wage earners
those essential guarantees of justice
in the business relations required by
self-respect and the means whereby
Standards Of living commensurate with
national ideals and we'll being shall
be established. The union thus serves
as lifting force to higher economics
and social levels. The American la
Dor movement has never accepted the
philosophy of class conflict and hence
does not believe that warfare be
tween the employer and employe il
inevitable. The primary principle
makes possible the spirit and methoe
of cooperation for the best interest:
of all concerned with production.

bow painting, when candidates are
solemnly assured they will carry
everything in sight. Republican can
didates are told they will win demo-
cratic Alabama, democratic candidates
hear they will sweep rock-ribbed
Pennsylvania and socialist aspirants
for office have it whispered into their
ears that they have a chance of car
rying Newport, R. L.; Bar Harbor,
Maine, and similar haunts of the
wealthy.
But all things pass, including sea-
sons of political rainbow painting and
soon the months of sterner political
realities will be upon US. Then the
rainbow painter will not meet quite
os enthusiastic reception as he does
now. He will find more difficulty II
disposing of his wares, and candidates
will not be as eager to listen to hin
is they were in August. All of which
