BRITISH WORKERS
FIGHT MOVE FOR
COLLABORATION"
Many Locals Hit Right
Wing Betrayal

LONDON, .(By MaiD Scores of
local trade union organizations have
gone on record as opposing the Sin
dustrial peace" conferences between
the right wing labor leaders and the
group of industrialists, headed by
Sir Alfred Mond.
The Nottingham local of the Ma
tional Union of Railwaymen in a let
ter to the Sunday Worker declares:
This branch congratuIates Mr.. A..
j. Cook on his stand for militant
trade unionism on the General Coun-
Gil and suggests that the policy of
industrial peace is not in the best
interests of trade unionism while
victimization, wage-cutting and at
tacks on workers conditions con-
tinue."
Commenting on the growing pro-
test against the class collaboration
schemes, A. J. Cook, Secretary of the
British Miners Federation declared,
"The industrial peace negotiations
now being carried on between the
General Council and Sir Alfred Mond
are meeting with increased hostility
from the rank and file.
"The annual meeting of the Lam
cashire and Cheshire Miners Fedora
ton endorsed my policy on the Gen
eral Council by condemning the Mond
proposals. The same thing is hap
pening in the trade union branches
thruout the country"
Referring to the talk of Industrial
peace as "hypocritical," Cook said,
"In the coalfields the government and
the employers continue to starve and
to persecute our people. Wages are
being reduced and mines are being
closed. The Mond policy of rationale
cation has been applied in York
shire, and the speeding-up process is
throwing golfers on to the scrap
heap. In the districts the mach
merry Of local poor relief has col
lapsed.

Atheist Society Tells
Of Progress Being Made

Atheism in the United States is
steadily growing, according to re-
port by the American Association for
the Advancement of Atheism, which
outlines the organization work in
1927.
The report states that there are
tendencies toward atheism in the
church itself with an increasing num-
Der of clergymen conducting services
at which no prayers are offered and
no reference made to a god. The
report states also chat the associa-
tons greatest achievement last year
was the foundation of the American
Anti-Bible Society. This organization
has been denied a charter in the
courts SO far.

tremendous strides made by the So
Wet Union in combating mortality is
evident from figures made public re-
Gently. The death rate in the Soviet
Union has shown more rapid decline
since 1913 than it has in any Euro
pean country.
In Czarist Russia, the death rate
was 80 per cent greater than in
backward countries like Bulgaria and
Portugal. In 1928, Rumania, Portu-
gal and Bulgaria top the mortality
lists.
Whereas the death rate in the So
Wet Union is only So per cent of what
it was in the same territory in 1923,
the death rate in France has only in
creased 2 per cent; in Great Britain,
16 per cent; and in Germany % per

Greek Workers, Peasants
Protest Fascist Regime

\ ATHENS, (By maiD. - The pres
ent regime in Greece is following in
the footsteps of the Pangalos dictator
ship.
Pangalos arrested 500 revolutionary
workers, among them all of the mem
bers of the Central Executive Com
mittee of the Greek Communist Party,
and exiled them to small, unhealth-
full island where they were compelled
to live on wild fruit and grass. The
present regime, after falsely charg-
ing the Greek Communist Party with
organizing movement to deliver
Macedonia to Bulgaria" has arrested
and imprisoned scores of militant
workers.
The fascist tactics of the govern
ment instead of decreasing the influ-
ence of the Greek Communist Party,
has strengthened it considerably. The
growing militancy of Greek labor is
shown by the war which is being
waged by the mass of workers against
the bureaucracy of the General Con-
federation of Labor The Federation
of Workers in the Food Industries,
the Tobacco Workers Federation, the
typographical unions and the Fedora
ton of Traction Workers are all
fighting against the reactionary bu-
reaucracy. Even the building trades
unions responded to the call Of the
food workers for militant struggle
against the bureauerats.
The present coalition government,
which is supposed to include progress
sive elements" betrayed it's true char
acter in the expulsion of ten repre-
sentatives of the workers and peas
ants from Parliament. The govern
ment has ordered the arrest of hun
dreds of militant workers, many of
whom have been exiled to desert is
lands. where they would certainly

Imperialism, the Government has is

well known author Panait Istrati be-
cause he denounced the white terror
in the Balkans and lauded the Soviet
Union in speech at mass meeting
in Athens.
Soldiers Protest.
In its attempt to stifle mass pro-
test, the Government has closed the
trade union hall in he city of Valos
and prohibited mass meetings. In
Pireaud, the trades assembly was dis
solved by agent provacateurs with the
aid of the police; in Larissa, the po-
lice, at the orders Of the Chamber Of
Commerce, are imprisoning the lead
ers of the trade unions.
Unrest prevails in the army, where
soldiers have protested against the
unsanitary conditions and the poor
food. Hundreds of soldiers have been
imprisoned
The workers and peasants of Greece
are protesting against the fascist
government. Mass demonstrations
against the government have been
held in the principal cities Of the
country. Peasants turnout the coun-
try are protesting against the heavy
taxes. In the city of Messara, Crete,
peasants burned down the archives
of the city hall and demanded the
abolition of the heavy taxes levied
against them,
Leading the protest is the Greek
Communist Party.-the only opposi-
ton party in Greece. The Party has

have been invited to open negotia-
tions for their renewal on the basis
of the French treaty, but so far have
not taken step in that direction.

marked friendliness for the Fascist
government in financial as well as
diplomatic relations between Italy
and the United States.
