The contradicting interests of the
greatest imperialist plunderers, the
United States, England and Japan,
are interviewer on the Pacific. The
problem of markets intensifies,
makes a tight knot of the contradic-
tions between these countries and
brings to the fore the military
problem" j. e., war for hegemony

The Pan Pacific Trade Union Sec
retariat (PPTUS) was founded at
the Pacific Trade Union Conference,
held in May, 1927, in Hankow. The
initiators themselves, the delegates
from the Australian Trades Union
Council, which includes Tasmanian
unions, did not succeed in being pre-
sent at the conference (the Bruce
conservative government took good
care of this). At the conference,
however, there were nine national
movements represented. The Aus
tralian Trades Union Council subse-
quently adopted all the decisions of
the conference and affiliated to the
PPTUS.
The Pan-Pacific Wc-ker.
In view of the distance to Aus

Secretariat adopted a decision to
publish special Australian edition
of its organ, the "Pan Pacific
Worker" The ten issues published
up to the present contain several
interesting articles on burning
themes of Pacific labor.
The labor movement of Australia
has for decades been stewing in
compulsory arbitration. The bour-

means of slight concessions through

representatives to prove the business

They further succeeded in poison

seriousness of the working masses
with the idea of the harmfulness OF
the class struggle and the salutari-
ness of the settlement of disputes

CENTRALIA MEN
Labor Men Intensity
I Campaign

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 12.-t45
delegates from 60 organizations of
workers and farmers gathered to-
gether to consider methods for
carrying on an intensified campaign
for the release of the eight Centralia
victims at the Labor Temple, Seattle,
Washington, on December 2. The
Centralia workers have served more
than nine years in the penitentiary
at Walla Walla as a result of vici-
Gus frame-up by the lumber in
terests. The conference was called
under the auspices of the Centralia
Liberation Committee. a broad COM
mittee representing all elements in
terested in a movement for freedom
for these working class fighters. The
committee was organized six months
ago at the initiative of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, Seattle
branch and has drawn the labor and
liberal elements into this movement.
The conference was opened by
Charlotte Tobes, Secretary of the
T. L. D. and also of the Centralia
Liberation Committee.
Many Speakers.
The following speakers. among
others, were invited to address the
conference by the arrangements
committee: George Vanderveer, at

Elmer Smith, a Centralia defendant;
VIM. Bouck of the Western Progress
sive Farmers: w. T. Morris, presi-
dent of the Tacoma Central Labor
Council; and Carl Brannin, Interna-
tional Labor Defense.
The I. L.. D. speaker however
showed the necessity for greater
pressure by the masses, more propa-
ganda and the building of a power
full mass movement that will force
the official agents Of the lumber in
terests to free these men.
Resolutions were adopted at the
conference greeting the Centralia
victims, calling upon the governor
and the parole board to grant an i'm
mediate unconditional pardon, out
lining a plan of action, demanding
the release of Mooney, Billings, John
Porter and all class war prisoners
and the repeal Of the Criminal Syn
dicalism law.
More Publicity.
The plan of action called for an
Intensified campaign of publicity,
mass meetings, petitions, resolutions,
delegations to the governor, the rails
ing of funds and the selection of a
delegate from each organization
present to serve on the Centralia
Liberation Committee.
A resident executive committee of
members were elected by the con-
ference as follows:
Carl Brannin, Federal Labor
Union; M. ]. Miller, Carpenters No.

Dor College; A. Winton, Painters
Union No. 800; Louise Burke,

In order that the seamen might
