PLEDGE ANTI
FASCIST BLOC
Protest the Murder of
Della Maggiore
(Red Aid Press Service }


PARIS.-In an enthusiastic mass
meeting of the French Red Aid in
Paris, thousands of French workers
protested against the murder of the
Communist, Della Maggiore, by the
fascist special tribunal in Italy,
and unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
"The Partisan workers state that
this new crime, which has been de
galized by Mussolini," is directed
against the anti-fascist workers of
Italy. The Partisan workers de-
eide to fight with all their power
against fascism and to put an end
to the prosecutions with which the
(French) government of national
union is strangling the working
class and its organizations. The
Partisan workers are determined to
resist the reaction which is engaged
in preparing a new war and a new
offensive against the first prole-
tartan government, the Soviet
Union. They declare themselves
solidly with the answer of Andre
Martys to Marshall Foch, for which
he had to appear again before g
class court on Nov. and they
promise to form in the ranks of the
International Red Aid a united
front of battle against capitalist OPP.

Long live international working
class solidarity!
"Down with numbering fascism!
"Down with the oppression, which
is preparing a new war!
Long live the International Rec
Add"
A similar resolution was alsC
adopted at protest meeting, which
the revolutionary workers organ

cism.

Offering proof that he was
neither a Communist nor an anar-

Michael Karolyi, first president Of
Hungary and now an opponent OF

visa to enter the United States and

Karolyi applied at the American
consulate in Paris, stating that the
object for the visit was lecture

press his opposition to the Horthy

2 Italian Workers
Abroad, Wanted by
Mussolini, Released
(Red Aid Press SerUice)

PARIS, (By MaiD.-Under the
pressure of mass protest the Italian
worker, Alfredo Angeletti, whose ex-
tradition is demanded by fascist Of
ficials on the grounds that he had
taken part in the Milan attempt
against the king, has been freed
from the threat of deportation.
The French authorities had instl-
tuted a process against him which
turned up absolutely no material
against him. At the same time the
Italian worker, Battini, who was ar
rested by the police in Belgium on
the accusation of spy that ne had
also taken part in the Milan at
tempt, was also freed.

REACTIONARIES
CHARGE CRAFT
TO EACH OTHER
Lin d bergh Independ-
ence Gesture Recalled

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Nov. 25
Charges of open corruption at the
polling here on Nov. 6, including
wholesale buying of votes, are be-
ing made by all the leading partici-
pants in the election against one an
other. Altho no final and official
count has been made, it seems evi-
dent that DR.. Antonio Barcelo, presi-
dent of the senate, and Jose Tous
Soto, speaker of the house, have
sustained heavy losses and may even
lose their places in the Porto Rican
legislature.
Asked independence.
The two politicians are the au-
thors of the gesture demanding in
dependence for the island which was
made to Col. Charles Lindbergh
when he visited Porto Rico on his
good will" flight. American and
sympathetic Porto Rican politicians
and businessmen expressed resent
ment against the message at that
time and recalled it in the present
fight.
According to the latest count,
Barcelo appears to be some 10000
votes behind Senator Iglesias, who
is best known as one of the most
consistent foes of labor within the
ranks of the Pan-American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Iglesias is denying that the sue
cess of his party reveals any I'M
rest among the Porto Rican work
ers, and states that it is merely the
revolt" of the island population
against Barcelo's long political con-
troll.
Charges of vote buying are sus-
tanned by observers who report that
the purchase of votes was fragrant.
II have never seen such disgraceful
and open buying of votes as in
Ponce" one observer at the polls
states. "Votes were bought like
sugar." said another.
At Mayaguez, one leader is re-
ported to have stated openly in q
cafe that his opponents had been
300 votes ahead at noon but that
enough votes were bought between
then and the time the polls closed to
ensure the election. The observer
mentioned specific sums of money
spent to purchase votes.
While charges of vote buying are
levelled by Senior Barcelo they are
also made by his political opponents
Both the party of Barcelo and
that of Iglesias were united in OPP
posing the Communists and the
Porto Rican workers in the election

Strike Committee Calls
to Membership Meet
Continued from Puge One

Continued from Page One
held since Thursday. Each one of
these meetings expressed, in un-
mistakable terms, their condemna-
ton of the dissolution of the strike
committee, whom they gave votes
Of confidence.
Lithuanian and Polish workers,
over 200 strong, met in the Lithuan-
ian Hall Thursday night, and, after
discussing thoroughly the strike sit
uation, voted unanimously a resolu-
ton of condemnation of the right
wing Joint Board for dissolving the
strike committee, which demanded
that the strike committee be placed
in immediate control of all strike
machinery. They also voted that
the resolution be brought before the
membership meeting Monday.
Two hundred Jewish workers, at
a meeting the same night in the hall
at 8 Governor st. took similar &C
ton.
Over fifty Armenian workers at
their meeting in Sd Washington St.
pledged wholehearted support to the
strike committee. An equal number
of Italian workers, meeting Friday
in Carpenters Hall passed a resolu-
tion duplicating the one carried at
the Lithuanian Polish meeting And
what is most significant, mass
meeting of Syrian workers, called
by the strike committee for Satur-
day afternoon, was success. Lead
ers of Syrian workers have hitherto
boosted that their nationality is
solidly behind whoever their lead
ers support.
Right Wing Meets Fail.
Alarmed at the calling of Ian
guage meetings the officialdom
tried to call competing meetings at
the same time the left wing did.
And in all but the Syrian meeting
the right wing counter meetings
proved miserable failures. The rea-
son for their tolerable showing of
Syrian meeting was because the
Sons of Italy Hall, after contract
ing for a left wing meeting, turned
over the hall to the right wing
Despite being compelled to hire an
other hall and notify the workers
in an hours time, the meeting was
highly successful numerically.
At the general membership meet
ing the right wing will try to con-
fine the discussion by the members
to the question Odd the Joint Board
have legal right to its action" The
left wing calls on the members to
insist on a full discussion of the &C.
ton of the Joint Board only from
the point of view of how it's action
affects the running of the strike.
In the meantime the National
Textile Workers Union, upon the
successful holding of a large mass
meeting of unorganized silk workers
here Friday night, is putting into
motion it's plans for a general or
ganization drive in the silk indus
try here. The enthusiasm shown for
the new national textile workers or
ganization by the Friday assem-
Llage, shows that the time is ripe
for such a move, Albert Weisbord
leader of the union, declared.

RENEWAL NOTES

An old gentleman of our ac- 1ualntance gave his note to con- fding merchant who had been so unfortunate as to give him credit. When the note became due the mak- CT was in his usual state of cheer ful impecuniOsity; and all that the hlOder could do was to take a re- neWal. The new note was made cut; the old gentleman duly at t2ched his name to it, and, as he put the original note in his pocket remarked, with feeling emphasis, Well, thank God, THAT'S paid"
 However, the question whether the renewal of a note is payment f it, sometimes becomes material, Some irregularity may render the new note void, in which case the holder has to fall back on thhe or ;oinal obligation, if he can. Hence the numerous decisions on the uues- ton whether a renewal note dis charges the original obligation or indebtedness, which are collated in 53 A.L,R. 1416-1432.

STOCKS ARE HIGHER
IN QUIET TRADING
Market Turns Dull After
Furry of Buying-CopperS
Lead Advance.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
oial TOiepatch tn The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 1S.-Giving
an impressive demonstration of their
improved technical position, stocks
worked upward in another day Of quiet
trading on the Stock Exchange.
The turnover was even smaller tnan
that of yesterday, which was the dullest
session since mid-August, but the ad-
vance was interrupted only once OF
twice.
Conner stocks, mail order issues, some
of the motors various industrial spe-
cialties and the airplane shares were
prominent. The utilities were also well
represented. Wright Aeronaut1cal was
I'M some 10 points. Greene Cananea
was up nearly 10 points.
Copper Stocks Lead.
In the early buying the copper stocks
were the leaders. Anaconda responded
to reports that a dividend increase was
impending. Obviously something more
than $4 would be expected from the
price of the stock Greene Cananea
ran up sharply 4 points or more living
IN to its reputation as one of the best
acting stocks in this part of the mar
ket Kennecott was strong, with an ad-
vance of more than points, and
American Smelling q Refining, which
had been very quiet of late, gained .
points. CRANKY Mining stood out high
er under a brisk demand.
Motor stocks were moderately i'm
proved. Chrysler and Packard were the
features, with General Motors up a
point or so. Mack Trucks acted well,
rallying whenever it fell below 100.
Timken Roller Bearing went along
among the accessories.
Merchandising stocks we're represent
ed by Montgomery Ward, National
Bellas Hess, which had such striking
rise the day before: First National
Stores and Sears Roebuck. These
stocks are comparatively easy to move
when conditions appear at all favorable.
Trading in Rails.
Among the rails Erie and Missouri
Kansas-Texas were conspicuous. Katy"
has made gratifying earning showing
for some time now. This applies es-
pecially to gross revenues, which have
been higher than in the corresponding
months of 1927 for the last five reports.
When the market reversed itself around
noon time large part of the early
gain was Cancelled, United States Steel

top. Liquid Carbonic, which had been
under pressure for several days, sank
