Members of all four craft locals

The new union movement, launched
at a recent conference in which all
but two local unions of the Interna-
tional Fur Workers Union of the
A. F. of L. participated, has already
been endorsed by the membership of
three locals at their meetings sew
eral days ago, The last one to take
this action was the Boston local
which met Tuesday night, according
to report received today.
The tremendous sentiment for the
construction of new and real
workers organization in the industry
has brought about the union wreck
ing policy of the A. F. of L. and
socialist officialdom who attempted
to destroy the Joint Board because
of it's left wing leadership. In the
ensuing two year struggle all union
conditions were destroyed. the out

DISCUSS NEGRO
AT WORLD MEET
Colonial Issue Theme
at Red Congress

(Wireless to the Daily Worker)
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Aug. 22.-
At the thirty-fourth session of the
Sixth World Congress of the Com
munist International this morning
the discussion on the colonial ques-
ton continued. Those who partici-
pated in the discussions were Man
aver, of Indonesia; Fokin, of the
Young Communist International;
Tchousteumet, of China; Ford, of
the United States; Lacerda, of
Brazil; Schneider, of the Young
Communist International; Paroles,
of Ecuador; Martinov and Travin, of
the Soviet Union.
Ford, American Negro, declared
that the American social democrats
were actively supporting the imper-
ialist attack on Nicaragua. The
socialists" he said, permitted an
imperialist agent to make a speech
from the Socialist" broadcasting
station, Eugene Debs," defending
the American robber policy in
Nicaragua. The Negro and colonial
population, he declared, can only be
freed under the leadership of the
Communist International.
Lacerda, who spoke next, declared
that the Latin-American countries
are semi-colonies. British influences
in Brazil, he said, caused exceptional
laws against the Communists on the
basis of forged documents. United
States capitalism, he continued, is
striving to drive the British out of
Brazil and has already achieved
some success. He said that the Bra
lillian Communist Party was work
ing illegally and making progress.
Paredes declared that the bour-
geois democratic revolutions in
Latin-America must receive more
attention. Numerous revolutions of

zon Borglum, famed sculptor, has
completed a bas relief of Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, the
internationally known radicals who
were executed for double murder
at Charleston State Prison year

The bas relief, depicting Sacco

the following inscription, taken
from Vanzetti's last letter:
"What l wish more than all in
this last hour of agony is that our
case and our faith may be under

as a tremendous lesson to the forces

More than one thousand shop

WESTERN union
ABSORDs POSTAL
Morgan Now Supreme
Over Telegraph

The merger of the Western Union
Telegraph with the Postal Telegraph
lines, if not already actually ac-
complished, is seen here as an i'm
mediate prospect in the announce
ment made public yesterday that the
Postal would in the future use the
same wires and services as the
Western Union thru an agreement
with the American Telenhone and
TELEGRAPH Company which controls
the Western Union and provides ser
vice to it.
Morgan Move.
The agreement is expected to
make millions for the Morgan in
terests which now own both lines. j.
P. Morgan and Company is repre-
sented on the directorate of the In
ternational Telephone and Telegraph
Company, the new owner of the
Postal, by Russell G. Leffingwell,
one of the Morgan partners.
Telephone and several telegraph
messages simultaneously are to be
transmitted on the same long dis
tance wire circuits of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
The new ~alations between the
Telephone and the Telegraph Com
panies are to make use of inven-
tions which are expected to elm
mate to large extent the necessity
of parallel pole lines and wire cir
cults of the two companies.
No estimate of the probable econ
omies of the scheme was made
by Walter S. Clifford, president of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, but it is known
that millions will be made.

Imperialist Scheme Exposed.

ImpeTldnSL SCNeue EXp0SeQ-
{ VLADIVOSTOK, Siberia, Aug.
k22.-The munitions sent by Japan
bound for Harbin, via the Chinese
Eastern Railroad, and seized here,
is taken to indicate that the Jap
anese government was instigating
a revolt in Manchuria in order to
create an excuse for military in
tervention, as was limited in a
statement released a few days ago
by the Soviet government of Outer
Mongolia.
Reports have been current in
both japanese and British papers
that the attack of Inner Mongolian
tribesmen on the northwestern sec
tion of Manchuria, which cut the
Chinese Eastern Railroad at two
points, were. instigated by Soviet
government authorities in order to
create a Soviet Republic out of In
ner Mongolia, which is under Chi
nese rule. On the basis of this
charge Vice-Director Lasevitch, of
the Eastern ChiLese Railway was
larrested by Manchurian officials.
J The new developments, however,
'lseem to indicate that Japan is at
tempting to prepare the way for
armed Intervention in Manchuria,
where its interests are at stake, by
provocative statements. The discov-
er- of the shipment of munitions is
considered by many to be adequate
proof that the Japanese govern
ment has hand in Manchurian
uprisings.

High School Teams Win Double
Victory

Milford High opened the basket
hall season with double victory
over Milton last night in the Com
munity Building. The boys won by
the score of 46-8; the girls were the
winners by the score of SAIL.
The boys started with a rusn and
due to the shooting of Dickerson
and Marvel were away to an early
lead. The play of both teams was
ragged for the~first ten minutes due
to nervousness but they soon settled
down to work.
Sharp appears to be a much inn
proved player over last season ana
if he can gain the necessary conn
dence should make a most valuable
man. In young Charles Prettyman'
Coach Wright seems to have hnd.
However the season is young and ne
NAV prove to be a flash in the pan.
The girls presented a well bal
anced team but the lack OF coheslon
between the various units showed
that there was much to be done be-
fore a polished team can take the
floor. An unusual condition pre-
sented itself in this game: Griffith
and Grove started as forwards, gave
wav to Hart and Layton, transfer
ring to guard and side-center. Both
groups of forwards were about even
in scoring.
