All Industries Will Be
Tied Up

ROSARIO, Argentina, Sept. 10.
All tools will be laid down, all

and all business activities will come

will walk out on strike tomorrow,
answering a call for a general strike
issued by the Federation of Trade
Unions.
Today five additional unions

other unions as a protest against
prevailing wages and working con-

port in Argentina, as protest
against the employment of nom
union workers, will also Join the
general strike tomorrow, it is re-
ported.
The warehouse workers, who had
formed themselves into a union yes
terday, are asking for 80 per cent
increase in wages and if the de-
mands are rejected they will join
the general strike.
Government officials are greatly
alarmed and the firm directors al
most panic-stricken, since the strike
threatens to spread to Buenos
Ayres, the largest port in the Ar
gentine, which would practically
mean a national general strike,
which had been brewing for the last
three months.
Thousands of tons of grain of the
summer and fall harvests await
shipment and will have to remain
on the docks.

AUSTRALIA GOVT
TO BREAK STRIKE
Shipowners Use Scabs
Against Dockworkers

SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 10. =
Australian ship-owners today de-
cided to employ scabs to break the
dock-workers strike which has spread
to all the leading ports.
This action followed the declara-
ton of the court of arbitration that
the strike was illegal, because the
workers had refused to comply with
the boards decision, providing for
a wage cut.
1t is likely that the government
will cooperate with the shipowners,
since by the new labor Legislation all
labor disputes must be settled in the
court of arbitration and any deci-
sion from its ruling is construed as
illegal
The Federation of Dock Workers
called the strike when the court of
arbitration ruled against them and
allowed the wage cut to remain.

REPORT Revolt
IN VENE ZUEL. 4
CROWS STEADILY
1000 Soldiers Join the
Rebel Army

BARRANQUILLA, Colombia, Sept.
19.-Counter to the official commu-
niques given out by the dictator
Gomez of Venizuela, the govern
ment forces have been unable to
suppress the revolt, in which troops
and the population are involved, ac-
cording to the reports of those who
have participated in the revolt and
who are seeking asylum here.
Newspapers here publish inter
views with Venezuelans who have
fled their country to avoid arrest
which indicates that large portion
of the troops have joined the revolt
The reports say that General Mar
celino Torres and General Garcia
who are alleged to be the leaders
are still holding out with 500 armed
men.
In the state of Carabobo 800 mer
are reported to be continuing the re.
volt under the command Of Captain
Chirino; and 400 under the command
of Colonel Ignacio Sanchez in the
state of Curumana, and another
group in Panaquibo.
Due to the strict censorship ex-
erted by Gomez over all news from
Venezuela, it has been impossible
to get direct news of the revolt.
Some time ago it was reported
that Gomez had prepared ship for
flight if necessary, but this report
was followed by an official notice
from the Venezuela government that
the revolt had been suppressed.

General Strike IN Rosario Called 1ou1oo May Spread Turnout Agetu
ARGENTINA OPPOSES
HIGH y. S. TARIFF

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-Rela-
tons between the United States and
Argentina are strained by pro-
posal to increase the American i'm
port tariff on maize. Exclusion of
ArgentiI. grains and meat pro-
ducts from the United States mar
ket, by high tariffs and sanitary
regulations, has been source of
constant friction between the two
countries, and has even led to ar
agitation in Argentina for reprisals
in the form of boycott against Amer
lean goods.
American farmers organizations
are demanding an increase in the
maize tariff from fifteen to twenty
two and a half cents per bushel.
The Argentine government has pro-
tested the proposed increase, point
ing out that ninety-five per cent of
the import of maize in the United
States come from Argentina
In an official communication, the
Argentine government says that it
looks upon the proposed increase
with deep concern. =. not because
of its possible effect on our trade
with the United States, but rather
because of the principles involved
and the fact that if such a measure

were adopted it would add to many
others which unhappily in recent
times have been hampering the i'm
portation of our products in this
market"
T! republican administration de-
sires to make a gesture of relief to
the American farmers by increasing
the duty on maize. At the same
time, it is reluctant further to anita
gonize Argentina, where American
trade has already suffered because
of resentment against such discri-
limitations in addition to the general
anti-American sentiment induced by
Nicaragua events. Moreover, Argen-
tina threatens to spoil the beautiful
unanimity of Kellogg's so-called
"peace" treaty by refusing to ad-
here to that document on the ground
that it indirectly establishes the
Monroe Doctrine as giving the
United States special interest and
rights in Latin America, doctrine
which Argentina has publicly repu
dated.
Foreign diplomatic circles are
watching the Argentine protest
against the maize tariff with SYM
pathy because of the general op
position in other countries against
the American protective tariff"

NANKINC TROOPS
ARE Still HUGE
Facts Show Disband-
ment Fake Move

HANGCHOW, China, Sept. 49,
While the Marking government is
loudly parading the disbandment of
thousands of surplus troops" it has
gathered under its banner, the facts
indicate that much of this sort of
news is mere propaganda to convince
the rest of the world that the Kuo-
mintang militarists have shed their
claws and cut their fangs and be-
came perfectly respectable self
sacrificing idealists for the common
good. Events here and there unfor-
tunately indicate the contrary. Thus
1870 "disbanded" soldiers of the
First Army Corps on their arrival
here were at once incorporated into
the local Peace Preservation Corps.
A case of paying Peter by robbing
Paul"
The fact is that the only soldiers
of any of the armies that may be
disbanded will be those whom their
commanders consider unreliable in
loyalty to those commanders them
selves or who may be considered to
be in excess of the commanders
need and ability to feed or, more
over, who are inclined to join up
the rebelling peasants. Not one Of
the rival generals is willing to re-
duce his forces to the point where
his chances for survival are endan-
gered.
An illustration of the method of
"disbandment" resorted to in such
circumstances is reported from the
south. Troops of two Kwantung
government divisions fought a
pitched battle against another divi-
sion of troops under the same pro-
vincial control in an effort to dis
arm the latter after a request to
disarm had been refused. Another
illustration comes recently from the
north where several thousand troops
stationed in Shantung had been or
dered disarmed. Dissatisfied with
the meagre discharge allowance CIV
en- them they revolted.
