BELGRADE, July 24.-With the
failure of General Hadzitch to form
new cabinet in Czechoslovakia. and
the continued refusal of the Croa-
tisn Peasant Party to enter into
coalition government. the formation
of military cabinet and a virtual
dictatorship is seen here as in
evitable
Hadzitch was called upon by the
King to form cabinet of non-party
elements, after M. Raditch, the Croat
Leader, refused to enter a cabinet
charging the present parliament as
being responsible for the assassina-
tons last month.
The unrest due to the demands Of
the nationals and the dissentions be-

Croat parties makes it very unlikely
that political cabinet. favorable to

formed. 1t is thought here that o

ONE IN FOUR ARE
NOW OUT OF WORK
IN new ENGLAND
Five Million are Idle
in Country

BOSTON, Mass, July 25.-The
'ssue of the full dinner pail injected
INTO the present election campaign
by Hubert Work, chairman of the
National Republican Committee
may become more vital than the
party of big business expected.
Reports of a survey made in New
England, the section of the country
in which President Coolidge himself
resides, disclose that one out of
every four workers there are idle
and many of the others are working
part time.
Explodes Myth.
In some industries the unemploy-
ment figures are still more explosive
of the full dinner pail myth. In
foundries and machine shops, 35 per
cent of the workers are idle. In the
shoe factories 43 per cent and in
the cotton mills Sc per cent or more
than half the workers are now I'M
employed.
These figures compiled by the
Massachusetts State Department
and Industry indicate that employ
ment conditions have steadily be-
come worse during the past five
years.
One Million Affected.
The employment index taking the
year 1919 as a base of 100 now
stands at 1876 or that over one
fourth of the workers are idle. Over
100000 workers are jobless in this
section, which means that over
million persons, men women and
children are suffering in this section
alone from the greatest evil which
strikes the wage earning class.
Figures for the country as a whole
indicate that 100000 workers are
unemployed. At the same time
there is taking place a nationwide
and ruthless drive against the exist
ing wage scales and lengthening
of working hours.

The governments failure to re-

Baldwin Offers Solution"
Prime Minister Baldwin, in de-

persons be transferred

others to dominions.
Since the last week, the number
of persons registered with the Min
istry of Labor has been increased by
almost 5000.

WILL HOkD HUGE
ANTI-WAR MEET
Workers Party Issues
Call

A giant anti-war mass meeting,
under the auspices of District 9,
Workers (Communist) Party, will
be staged by the workers of New
York in Union Square on Saturday
afternoon, August 4, the anniver-
sary of the declaration of the i'm
perialist World War. The follow
ing call has been issued to the work
ers:
August 4, 1928, marks the four
teenth year since the beginning of
the World War, which cost the
workers of the world millions of
lives and most horrible agony and
suffering. The devastating effects
of this world catastrophe are still
sfelt today.
Although our memories are still
fresh with the horrors of 1914, the
imperialists of the world, and par
ticularly the United States, are pre-
pairing feverishly for a new world
slaughter. Appropriations, battle
ships, artillery and instruments of
destruction have reached an unheard
of proportion. Millions are being
spent for the production of huge
quantities of poison gas and air.
planes. Draft laws are being pre-
pared in order to chain the entire
working population to the military
machine in time of war. Through
the institution of military training
in the schools, the establishment of
many citizens military training
camps, the curse of capitalist mill
tarism is spreading throughout the
country.
The sharpening commercial riv-
airy between the United States and
Great Britain, the attack of thou
sands of American marines upon the
people Of Nicaragua, the American
battleships and marines now threat
ening the workers and peasants of
China and the growing menace of
an attack upon the Soviet Union by
the combined forces of the imperial
ist nations-all these are indications
of the immediate danger of another
and more terrible world war.
The working masses must take
note of these dangerous prepare
tions threatening their very exist
ence. Only through determined agi-
tation and the organization of the
workers can this menace be fought.
For this purpose the Workers (Com-
munist) Party invites all workers
and working class organizations to
participate in great open-air mo
more imperialist war" rally to be
held in Union Square, New York
City, August a, 1928, promptly at
! p. m. You are urged to enlist
all workers with whom you have
any influence in this important dem
onstration.
We shall be glad to arrange that
speakers from your organization
participate in this affair if you will
notify us who they are. You are
also urged to have your delegation
come with appropriate banners suit
able for the occasion.
Yours against all capitalist wars,

Marvin is back in his old stamp

out as a newspaper reporter on the

brought him into close contact with
the labor movement in the Occur

Haywood Moyer-Pettibone trial.
Reporting miners strikes for en-
ployers proved profitable for the

came editor of mining journals and
daily newspapers, passing from one
to the other in quick succession. He
complained during the Schwimmer
case, that at Pueblo, Colo, he was
kicked out of town by indignant
miners who ruined him and his
vaper.
When the metal miners move

hailed him into court on the Schwim-
mer libel charges, Marvin was forced
to admit for the first time that his
