points in his speech, which bears
upon the most pressing problem con-
fronting the working class today.
He viii show the inevitability of
wars within the framework of the
capitalist system. He will indicate
its causes in the imperialist rival
ries for sources Of raw materials,
markets and fields for the invest
ment of capital, as we'll as in the
irreconcilable antagonism between
the capitalist world and the Soviet
Union.
He will take up the antagonism
between Great Britain and the
United States, brought to a head
in the naval armaments rivalry, and
the penetration of American capital
irto one after another of British col
enies and semi-colonies. The Amer
ican- British-Japanese rivalry in the
Pacific, and number of other CEN
ters of potential conflagration bring
war nearer every day. Gitlow will
ling these up with the immediate
problems facing the workers, in
volving preparations for the coming

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 23..-
Alarmed by the disturbed condition
of the peasants following yester-
days announcements that Mace

leader, Ivan Michailoff, was ad-
vancing on the capital, Athanase
Buroff, foreign minister, today ap-
pealed to the United States to in

Buroff intimated that the coun-
try is on the verge of a peasant
uprisal and threatened the United
States with the spectre of Bolshe-
vism. if help was not Forthcoming.
"Will not the United States save
us?" Buroff asked, "before our pea
SAINTS embrace Bolshevism."
The peasants are crushed with an
overwhelming burden of taxation
and are virtually carrying the en-
tire cost of the war reparations, the
result of the plunge which the Bull
garian leaders TOOK into the World
War. They have long been under
stood to be IN condition in which
the least disturbance might precipi-
tate an insurrection.
Sofia looks like a besieged town
today. Troops are patroiling the
streets and there are outposts en-
circling the city. The presence out
side the town of numbers of pea
SAINTS and villagers who had fled be-
fore the approach of the Macedon-
ians, fearing a battle, further ag-
gravates the situation in Sofia.
Double guards were placed

following the assassination yester-
day of former Chief of Police Be-

sures were also attempted by the
cabinet.
The deliberations of the cabinet,
however, are torn by the sympathy
which many of the ministers, in
Guiding the minister of war, fell for
the Macedonian movement.

The Vestris is an example of the
way the Steamboat Inspection Ser
vice allows any old tub to put to
sea that can be used to make prof
its.
Only because passengers lost their
lives is such fuss being made over
it, and even then the crew is held
to blame. But We'll bet you never
heard about the death eof fourteen
workers when on Aug. 9, this year,
they were swept overheard from the
steamer "William A. McKenney" on
the way from San Pedro to the Pan
anna Canal.
Why Ia Workers Died.
Fourteen workers died and the
U. S. Inspection Service, under Her
bert Hoover's efficient" department
of commerce, tried to hide the guilt
of the ships chief officer, who had
not seen that the No. 3 hatch (cov-
ering the entrance to the hold) had
been properly battened down, and
had not required that the rails
alongside the hatch were secured.
When big sea came over and the
men were washed against the rails,
the rails gave way and the men
went to their death.

Old Tubs Slave Ships.
These are the sort of facts re-
vealed by sailors at the Seamen's
Club, 28 South St., and they tell you
how old tubs like the Vestris mean

M|NEOLA APPEAL
HEARING MONDAY
8 May Go to Jail, Or
Get New Trial

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 23.-The
case of the nine fur worker victims
of the Mineola frame-up comes up
before the judges of the Court of
Appeals here Monday morning at
10 o'clock.
If the Court Of Appeals sustains
the decisions Of the trial of the la
bor-hating Long Island court, eight
of the fur workers will go to prison
to serve sentences of from two and
half to five years and one goes
to the infamous Elmira Reforma-
tory to serve one-year prison
term.
If they do not sustain the out
come of the trial, the nine prison
ers are to get new trial, which
will rehear all the mass of framed
up evidence provided by the social
ist provocateurs, their A. F. of l..
henchmen and the bosses.
The case grew out of the 1926
general strike of the furriers. These
nine workers, leading figures in the
strike, were framed on the charge
of having assaulted scab shop in
Rockville Centre, L. l. Many labor
takers, as we'll as bosses, appeared
in the role Of provocateurs and
stool pigeons. In fighting the case
thousands Of dollars have ben con-
trihuted by workers for legal de-
fense. George 2. Medalie is the at
torney handling the case.

A sudden change in the plans of

by the recently elected president of
American imperialism, that it is not
safe for the future head of the

Fear Attack From People.
However, with all these plans il.
readiness, the bootlicking conserva-
tive and liberal Nicaraguan leaders
and their boss, Admiral Sellers, can
rot assure the Hoover party from,
attack, and sudden wireless from
the Maryland stated that Hoover
would not set foot on Nicaraguan
soil.
The excuse given, an excuse which
is aimed to cover up the real reason
for abandoning the trip ashore, is
that it is found that there exists
only . small hotel at Corinto in
which Hoover can be received.
That Ills excuse is a lame one can
be seen by the fact that no one
