English Rubber Trust
Takes Over Canada
Interests in Merger

TORONTO, Ont, Oct. Is (UP).-
A $200,000,000 rubber merger by
the Dunlop Rubber Company of
England was announced by Sir John
George Beharrell, managing direc-
tor of the firm, after his arrival
from Buffalo, N. Y, last night.
By the deal, Sir John said, the
English firm would buy back it's
Canadian branch, sold 20 years ago
to three Canadian financiers. Com
mon stock of the Canadian company
was purchased, and the whole stock
of the Japanese Dunlop Company,
he said.
John Western, vice-president and
general manager of Dunlop Tire
and Rubber Goods Company OF Can
ada, confirmed the merger, explain
ing that the English Dunlop Com
pany had acquired control of the
Canadian company. With the ia
panese concern they now have a
globe-circling tie-up, he said.

FORD COMPLETES
WITH BRITISH

DUBLIN, Oct. 15.-From his
plant in Cork, Ireland, Henry Ford
will supply all the tractors intended
for sale in Europe, and will have an
operating base within the ranks of
the competing British manufac-
turers, it is reported.
When the British government
few months ago announced that all
cars manufactured outside of Eng
land would be heavily taxed, Ford
moved his automobile construction
machinery to Manchester, England,
thus retaliating the move of the
British automobile manufacturers.
But he will not allow his Cork plant
to lie idle, and is now awaiting
machinery for the construction of
tractors from Detroit.

RUMANIA GUSTS
$4,000 WORKERS
No Employment for
Them Elsewhere

BUDAPEST, Oct. 1.-THE whole
sale expulsion of all Transylvanian
and Hungarian workers from Ru-
mania, which affects 100000 work
ers and their families, was ordered
by the Rumanian authorities today.
This action was considered in
many quarters to be tantamount to
{, general lockout in the sugar and
leather industry, where most of
these workers are employed, and a
drastic attempt on the part of the
government to meet severe econ
omic crisis.
The lot of these thousands of
workers will be very severe, since
there is no provision for their en-
ployment elsewhere, and it is prob
lematic whether the Hungarian gov
eminent will allow them to cross
the border. The known cruelty of
the Rumanian government does not
promise very much leniency during
the period of expulsion.

[. L. d. VIII Fight
Sentence Against
Rebecca Grecht

The New York section of the In
ternational Labor Defense, 100
Broadway, has decided to appeal the
case of Rebecca Grecht, New York
state election campaign manager of
the Workers (Communist) Party,
who was arrested on Aug. 9 when
members of the John J. Dwyer Post
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
attacked an election campaign meet
ing of the Workers Party in Astoria.
The charge against her was "disor-
derby conduct" and "inciting riot"
and at the time she was released on
$500 bail furnished by the I. l.. D.
On Aug. "a she appeared in First
Magistrates Court, Brooklyn, and
was given a suspended sentence.
In statement on the case issued
last night, the New York section of
the l. L. D. declares thru its secre-
tary, Rose Baron: Despite the fact
that Rebecca Grecht, who was ar
rested at the Workers Party meet
ing in Astoria on Aug. 9, was given
suspended sentence, the I. l.. D.
has decided to make a test case of
this and fight it in the higher
courts. We must now allow a mill
tant worker to be given a suspended
sentence, which is really a declara-
ton of guilt, after being attacked
by the lingo hoodlums of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars aided by the
police. To accept such sentences
without fight sets a precedent for
which workers will have to pay
dearly in the future.
"The I. L. D. will fight this caA e
with all the resources at it's COM
mand, but it cannot fight it with
out funds. Appeals are very expen-
sive and workers will be defending
themselves by sending contributions
to the l. l.. D. that will enable us to
force the capitalist courts to dis
miss the case against Rebecca
Grecht. Workers will also be helps
ing this cause by supporting in every
possible way the annual Proletarian
Autumn Revel of the 1. L. D., to
be held in Webster Hall, 119 E.
18th ST., Saturday evening, Oct.

SAN SALVADOR, Salvador. Oct
16.-The wave of Communist
Legislation sweeping through the
Latin-American countries has been
given new impetus by the Saliva
dorian government, which today sus-
pended a recently adopted law re-
garding the action to be taken
against those found conducting Sub

PASSED to impose more severe pen

When the executive department
suspended the law it was made clear
that the government is planning to
have the law amended at the next
session of congress in such a way
as to broaden the meaning of Sub
versive acts"
Similar laws are now being sim

BULCAR CRISIS is
Seen IN SPREAD
OF AUTONOMISTS
Army Is Involved in
Macedon Movement

SOFIA, Oct. 16.-The Bulgarian
government is faced with. a very
critical situation, due to the spread
ing of the Macedonian autonomist
movement, which is reported to have
invaded the army and involves many
military officers and even the min
lister of war.
In spite of the joint note of the
British and French governments to
Sofia, demanding that the autono-
mist movement be checked, the gov
eminent has been able to do moth
ing, owing to the wide influence of
the autonomist wing of the Mace
DOMAIN party.
So far as can be determined, Ivan
Michaeloff, leader of the autonomist
faction, is master of the situation
within the Macedonian party and is
declared to have the support of Bull
garian army officers, while the
whole army seems to lie involved
The federalists, the more reaction
airy section of the party, followers
of the late General Alex Proto-
eueroff, are losing their influence
steadily. Due to the power of
Michaeloff in government circles,
many Of the federalists are being
arrested in Sofia, though it is al
legged that this precaution has been
taken chiefly to prevent their being
attacked by the autonomists and to
keep them safe.
The cabinet is again threatened
with a split, due to current charges
that the minister of war and other
government officials are engaged on
one side or the other.

in the long series by which the So

when the Socialist" mayor of this
city, sitting in a so-called elmer"
disarmament conference with the
representatives of the reactionary
Home Defense League proposed to
declare illegal all meetings and dem
onstrations of the working class of
the future. 4
The rejection of the move by the
socialist representatives is seen as
a maneuver to put over the program
after an acceptance has been forced
on the trade unions, so that the So
cialists can claim that the move is
voluntary"
Serious and widespread opposition
and counter demonstrations by the
workers of Austria led by the Com
munists is expected to the move.

fesSional journals were numerous In
1904, he published History of the Lii

Jean McVicker Browne of Montreal. He
is survived by his widow and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Dorothy Blake Of Honolulu
and Mrs. Nancy Weissblatt, of Phila-
