dividual contract system, it is in
dicated, that he will follow the lead
Of Lewis in even this respect by re-
fusing to take real stand against
this vicious evil in spite of his pre-
sent statements. Brennan in refer
ring to the unfavorable decision of
umpire Neill recently handed down,
said that Cappclini was at fault for
the decision because he had inprop-
erly filed the complaint.
In other words, it is pointed out,
Brennan docs not condemn the whole
system of submitting basic evils to
the arbitration" of company control
led umpires but really excuses them
for their vicious decisions.
The miners are beginning to see
that the way of Brennan with no pro-
gram, with no real stand against the
individual contract system, is the way
of Lewis and the way of defeat for
the miners.
Progressivcs Have Program.
More and more it is becoming clear
that only the program of the Save
The-lInion Committee can take the
miners out Of their present difficult
les.
The purpose of Brennan is to draw
attention only to the calling of spe-
cial convention so that the April
progressive conference at Pittsburgh
will be played down. 1t is believed
that Brennan may even concede' to
Lewis and call off the April 16 spe-
tial convention. Brennan's attack on
the official Bonita Moleski-Mendola
Defense Committee is the best evil
dence of his future course.

SCADBING BACKED
BY OFFICIAL OF
HEBREW TRADES
General Strike Soon of
Fruit Clerks

A new injunction has just been OBJ
tanned by non-union grocery store
owner against the Retail Grocery,
Dairy and Fruit Clerks Union, to pre-
vent them from organizing the clerks
in the store. 1t was the officialdom
of the United Hebrew Trade which
again advised the grocer to get the
injunction, and helped him by provid-
ing affidavits for the purpose. Over
a score of injunctions against the
union with the assistance of the right
wing officials have already been OBJ
tanned.
B. Motter, 3451 Jerome Ave., the
Bronx, is the employer who obtained
the anti-picketing writ from Judge
Ente in Bronx supreme court. The
union issued statement asking all
working class families to cooperate
with it in forcing recognition of the
organization.

Organize Fruit Workers.

The drive of the union to enroll the
hitherto unorganized fruit clerks, is
proving highly successful, according
to the results obtained at mass
meeting held recently especially for
the workers in fruit stores. The
meeting, which was held in Mckinley
Square Garden, discussed in detail
the agreement which the union in
tends to present for the employers
signatures. After acceptance of the
proposed contract at the meeting,
large number of recruits joined the
organization. A motion was then
passed giving the executive board of
the union full power to set the date
for general strike in the industry.
There is no doubt that such a strike
would be as successful as the last
strike of the grocery clerks which re-
suited in a complete victory for the
workers. The fruit clerks are even
more exploited than any other
branches of the trade, being compelled
to work Ia and more hours a day at
miserable wages.
The executive board, formerly COM
posed of nine members, has been en-
larged to IA by the election of five
workers to represent the fruit clerks.

SENATE TO Give
ITS BLESSING TO
NICARACUAN WAR
Feeble Attack Led by
Insurgents"

WASHINGTON, April 19.-An en-
dorsement of the Coolidge-Kellogg
policy in Nicaragua was anticipated
in the senate today as a climax to
the battle over the marine occupation
of Nicaragua.
The test vote was due to an amend
ment offered to the S363,00O,000 naval
appropriations bill which would force
the immediate withdrawal of all
American marines by denying the use
Of any new funds for their mainte-
nance in Nicaragua. Administration
senator's predicted defeat of the
amendment.
Senator William E. Borah of Idaho,
chairman Of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, who first demanded
withdrawal of the marines but later
urged they be kept there until "after
the September elections" was pre-
pared tn defend the administration
policy.
The insurgent republican group will
base its fight on the Coolidge policy
on the report submitted by Secretary
of the Navy Wilbur who declared thai
202 Nicaraguans and 81 marines had
been killed. Wilbur's report is con
tradicted by numerous other esti.
mates of the casualties in Nicaragua
fighting which place the number of
! Nicaraguan men, women and childrer
killed by American marines at more
than thousand.
The amendment proposed by Sena-
tor King of Utah would prohibit the
use of any funds out of the new ap-
preparation bill for the maintenance of
marines in Nicaragua. AS the bill
carries funds for all naval activities
in the fiscal year ending June 30,
1929, adoption of the amendment
would force the withdrawal of ma
rines by next June.
That the amendment will be de-
feated is fairly certain.

KUOMINTANG SELL
OUT IN SHANGHAI
COUNCIL TREATY
A gree to Imperialist
Control of City

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The
Kuomintang authorities have reached
an agreement with the powers by
which three Chinese residents of
Shanghai will be placed on the NUM-
cipal council of the foreign settle
ment, according to a cable sent by
Consul General Cunningham to the
State Department. The Municipal
Council consists of nine members.
The question of Chinese control of
the municipal council has been one
of the most bitter points of dispute
between China and the powers. The
population of the international settle
ment is predominantly Chinese and
Chinese pay the bulk of the taxes.
The control Of the international
settlement was one of the principal
demands of the worker and student
leaders Of the 1926 demonstrations
which led to a boycott against British
goods.
The agreement which has been
negotiated by the Marking authorities
is regarded as extremely unsatis-
factory by a large section of the
population of the settlement.
Shanghai has been under the con-
troll of British and American business
men since 1854, when the interna-
tlonal settlement was created.

Communist Party Plans
Huge Election Meet

PARIS. April 19.-Authorities here
are mobilizing all of the police in the
city and the suburbs in connection
with a series of demonstrations which
the Communist Party is arranging for
the coming elections and May LIST.
Plans are also being made to re-
inforce the police with a large force
of Republican Guards and to bring
infantry and cavalry units from near
by barracks into the city.
The police expect the demonstra-
tions to begin on Sunday when the
first ballots for members of the House
of Deputies win be east. The Com
munist Party expects to make large
gains in the elections.
Charges that the flight of Costes
and LeBrix are being utilized for
political propaganda are made by
L'Humanite, official organ of the
Communist Party. Costes and LeBTix
recently visited Painleve in the dis
trict of Nantau-Gex on the Swiss
frontier, which is being bitterly CON
tested by the Communist Party.
Costes and LeBriX are being util-
lied by Painleve "in the same way
that the United States has used its
so-called goodwill flyers for the adj
vancement of its imperialist policies"
L'Humanite says.
Painleve who attempted to address
a political gathering in the district
was heckled by workers who charged
him with pushing plans for the Riff
war.
