Expect Swing to Left in
Coming Election

PARIS, April 16.-A number of
workers and twenty-three policemen
were injured in a clash when police
attempted to break up an election
meeting held by the French Commu-
mist Party yesterday.
Violent street fighting occurred
when the gendarmes attempted to
wrench away placards carried by
workers which earicatured Premier
Poincare, War Minister Painleve,
Paul Boncour and other members of
the Poincare government. The
bearers of the banners and placards
took refuge on the top of hill, where
they were defended by large body
of workers. A number of policemen,
who attempted to storm the hill, were
hurt.
The Communist Party is conducting
an intensive drive for. the national
elections which will take place this

electoral laws which are directed
against the Communist and other
minority parties, the Communists ex-
pect to make large gains in the cleo

SUPPRESS TRADE
union IN BRAZIL;
MURDER MILITANT
Arrest, .Deport Strike
Leaders

RIO DE JANIERO, (By MaiD.-
One of the largest trade unions Of
Brazil, the "Uniao dos Trabalhadcres
Graficos" (the Union of Printing
Trade Workers. was closed and pro
hibited from functioning for a period
of three years, on the basis of the
"Anibal Toledo Law" passed last year
for the suppression Of "anarchiam"
and subversive movements. This union
is neither Communist nor anarchist
but rather a benevolent, reformist,
mutual aid organization opposed to
strikes. 1t maintains school for the
Improvement of technical knowledge
of its members and owns a large
building and meeting hall.
The vice-president of the large
union of Brazilian textile workers
was discovered to have been an agent
provocateur for many years, who was
engaged to enter the union and to re-
port dangerous" persons for arrest
and deportation. The press refused to
report or to comment on this for fear
of prosecution and the workers press
is practically non-existent.
Murder Workers.
The radical deputy, Azevedo Lima.
elected by the labor bloc in Rio de
Janeiro and formerly active in the
Sac Paulo revolution, called large
meeting in the hall of the Printers
Union and exposed the provocateur.
The latter arrived surrounded by a
number of well-known spies, and re-
quested to be heard. When this was
refused shot was fired from the
group surrounding the spy in the di-
rection of the chairman's table and
Immediately the police invaded the
hall with drawn swords and began t.
shoot into the meeting.
One worker was killed and another
died later from his wounds. Severe
others were gravely wounded. This
gave the government the pretext t.
declare the printers union dissolved
and to close their hall.
Deport Leaders.
In the state of Sac Paulo. where
the coffee planters turned republicans
and started a revolution because the
slavery was abolished, the procedure
is simplified. Wherever there is APP
prehension of a strike the supposed
leaders are arrested and deported and
the workers meetings are dispersed
by the sabres of the police.

lister of industry was dispatched int
that district in order to investigate
conditions. The history of Colombia
is full of such separatist movements
favored by various economic condl-
tions and interests.
The government of Colombia is ap-
prehensive that it may lose the very
important district bordering on the
Gulf of Uraba by new separatist
movement for independence" from
Colombia, or for closer relations with
Panama. This movement is fostered
by the American United Fruit Com
pany.
Smell Oil.
The district is for many reasons
extremely important and would be of
greater use to the American interests
and to the United States as an Gin
dependent" country than as a part
of Colombia. The Gulf of Uraba on
the Atlantic Coast of Colombia cuts
deep into the foot of the isthmus.
Into this gulf flows river from the
east. Thus another inter-oceanic
canal could be easily built here and
most probably will be built some day
In addition, oil wells are already
being exploited in the neighborhood
of this gulf and the American Fruit
Company has here its large and pro
fitable fruit plantations. Further
more the district borders on Panama
which still has some boundary claims
in parts of this district.
Tho fruit cor1nanies import Negro
workers from Cuba and Jamaica, con
trarted, seroi-slaves who do no
understand the language of the coun
try. Under the pretext of vaccination
they are branded so as to be recog
nized if they escape.
The native Colombian workers are
unable to compete with these i'm
ported slaves and are compelled t
emigrate. Thus the natives left il
the district are mostly those who a
merchants and petty employees, ar
dependent upon the fruit companies.
These classes are in favor of 'in
dependence" An independence
from Colombia would give this petit,
bourgeoisie certain advantages, as tn
export taxes Of this rich region woul,
| go exclusively for their benefit in
stead of for the central government
Of Colombia.
In addition to the native worker
the native farmers are suffering froT
this invasion of the United Frui

NEW YORK. June 21-The New

Mrs. Eugene O'Neill, wife of the

to start divorce proceedings.
Mrs. O'Neill will base her suit on
a charge of abandonment, The Daily

of the two children.
ONeill is in Europe, and is said
to have agreed to allow the suit to
go uncontested.
Il had attempted the experiment
of giving an artist-husband the
freedom he said was necessary for
his dramatic success" Mrs. ONeill
is quoted as having said. Perhaps,
from the standpoint of dramatic art
and the American theater, my de-
