Cables Protest

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "a
cablegram protesting against the
betrayal of the colonial peoples by
the Second International has been
sent to the Brussels congress of the
international by the Chinese League
in America for support of the Work
ers' and Peasants Revolution in
China. The group in San Francisco
represents similar groups IN the
United States, Canada, Mexico and
Cuba.
The cable follows:
"The undersigned protest the ac-

limiting the complete emancipation
Of the colonial and oppressed peo-
pies. The Second International
must cease betraying the colonial
Peoples, cease supporting the world
imperialists and must fight their
own imperialist governments.

From trade unions and working

With each donation, comes letter

From each of the forty-eight

individual sympathizers, have
reached the headquarters of the Ma.

To defend the hundreds of lead.
ing miners who are still under in
dictment in the courts, and feed
their families, a National Miners
Relief and Defense campaign was
launched July %. More than 100000
collection lists are still in circula-
ton. In every camp, hundreds of
miners who were the militant lead
ers in the struggle, are black-listed
Thousands of others are still holding
out, demanding that the operators
recognize their organization. The
United Mine Workers of America
has cut camp after camp off their
relief list, and unless the National
Miners Relief Committee continues
to help them, they will be faced
with famine.

1t is no unusual thing in mining
camp to find that nobody has eaten
for two or three days before the new
relief shipment arrives. Because SO
many locals have been completely
cut off, the National Miners Relief
Committee is forced to give less re-
lief to those still receiving the pit
lance of 81 every two weeks, and
concentrate upon those locals where
not a penny or a pound of flour is
given by the UMWA.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 9, (UP).-
One thousand persons were killed
and 600 were injured when six vii
lagos were destroyed by an eruption
of the volcanic mountain Rokatinda
on the Island Of Paloeweh, accord
ing to dispatches received here today
from Batavia.
Casualties and property destruc-
ton centered in the southwestern
part of the island.
Nine ships were reported to have
been sunk off Celebes Island.
The eruptions on Paloeweh Island
began Saturday. The sea rose Is
and half feet on all sides Of the
island. Many persons persisted by
fleeing into the sea to escape the
molten lava.
The coast of Flores Island was
swept by tidal wave.
Many persons were injured by
falling stones and some were killed
in fires, a Batavia dispatch said.
About 5000 people, nearly all ma
tives, remain on the island.
Paloeweh is a tiny island off the
northern coast of the Island of
Flores, in the Flores Sea. It is
directly south of the Phmilippines
and southeast of Borneo.

Situation Critical.

BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, Aug. 9.
In spite of the plea of the Croa-
tian party leaders that pacifist
policy be adopted in the attainment
Of autonomy, Serb officials here
fear that the Croatian peasants may
rise in armed revolt. Troops have
been drafted.
The death of Stefan Raditch on
the night of August 7 is expected
to lead to critical developments in
Zagreb.
The session of the skeletonized
Belgrade parliament today was
marked by the dissension Of the
German minority representative and
the Serb agrarjan deputies. The
latter criticized the proposed pass
age CT the Nettano treaty, which
aroused such shar, criticism on the
part Of some of the anti fascist
Croat leaders:
Kraft, the German representative,
declared that nowhere else in the
whole world except in Italy are
ninorities so ill-treated as in Yuso-
slavia.

FRENCH SOLDIERS
FIGHT FOR RIGHTS

PARIS, Aug. 6.-The struggle of
the French soldiers for better condi-
tions is becoming more intense.
They are bringing forward list
of demands. In regiment in Mes
sires, soldiers refused their food be-
cause it was not fit for human be-
ings. Together with other regi-
ments they lodged complaint
against the bad food and demanded
better conditions.
A special barrack newspaper was
circulated in the 9th Dragons divi-
sion in which number of demands
were published. The commanding
officers stopped the circulation Of
the newspaper among the other SOL
diers. But when he saw. with what
enthusiasm the soldiers were dis
cussing the demands published in
the newspaper he conceded some of
them.

Revolutionaries Flee in
Open Boat

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Aug. g.
1t was learned here today that
many of those who had participated
in the revolt in Venezuela last week,
had put out in an open boat and
reached the Dutch island of Aruba,
off the Venezuelan coast.
The Venezuelans living on the
island, and numbering about 1000,
for the most part workers in the
petroleum industry have declared
that they will resist any attempt
on the part of the dictator Gomez
to extradite the political refugees
and that they are prepared to de-
fend them with arms if necessary.
Dutch colonial authorities here
have dispatched extra police to the
island in order to prevent distur-
Dances which are expected to follow
on the arrest of the refugees.

pected to take. For that reason his
resignation was accepted with the
understanding that he probably
would resume his General Motors
connections after the November
elections.
The expected resignation of
Pierre S. Du Pont, multi-millionaire
munitions maker, from the chair
manship of the board of directors of
the General Motors Corporation, a
Morgan controlled and affiliated
concern. Du Pont is to help manage
the Al Smith campaign.
No Importance is attached here
either to the nominal resignation of
Du Pont or to the fact that the
board of directors of the organiza-
ton refused to accept it.
Observers point out that Du Pont
and Raskob between them own the
controlling power in the General
Motors Corporation. Their gestures
of leaving the firm in order to take
part in the Smith campaign are in
effect handing in their designations
to themselves and when they resume
their work after election, it will be
the equivalent of taking themselves
back. The move is understood to be
an attempt to camoulflage the OBJ
vious fact that the Tammany can
didate is now practically under the
thumb of the Morgan financial in
terests.

How the bosses grinding machines take in labor
votes and turn out injunctions is mystery only to
those who do not examine the operators of the
machine.
The American Federation of Labor Executive Coun-
Gil has just given free hand to the hundreds of labor
takers throughout the country to sell out the workers
politically to whatever candidates of either old party
offer the highest inducements.
AL Smith has appointed Major Berry head of the
Printing Pressmens' Union to corral the labor votes
for him.
In various sections "Vote-for-Hoover worker clubs
are being formed by other labor traitors.
There will undoubtedly be a larger vote in the COM
ing election than in any one previous. This means
that workers will cast their ballots than ever
before.
THIS is OUR OPPORTUNITY!
We can deliver double blow to the bosses and to
the labor takers who serve them.
We can say to the workers: When you vote for
the bosses you vote yourself Injunction You write
an order to call out the militia against you You vote
yourself "yellow-dog" contract. You appoint a
judge who will declare social legislation "unconsttu
tonal."
DON'T SCAB ON YOURSELF POLITICALLY!

Would you like to say this to dozen workers be-
tween now and election time?
