Believe Four Workers
the Rockefeller Church
Trapped in Fire at

Four workers, employed at con-
struction work, were believed to be
trapped last night in a fire which
threatened to destroy the $4,000, 900
Gothic Church, built largely by
money contributed by John d. Rock
efeller, on Riverside Drive and 122nd
st.
Over fifty workers fled from the
church as soon as the fire was dis
covered shortly after T p. M, and
it was they who told that the es-
cape of four of their comrades had
been cut short by the flames.
A heavy wind sweeping along the
Hudson whipped the fire until the
entire structure was enveloped in
flames, and threatened to spread to
the adjoining apartment house. All
traffic was stopped.

cials of the Marking regime declare

nese tariff treaty yesterday morning

Although final ratification of the
treaty will be made in London it is
understood that Britain valves
special customs duties on the Indian
and Burmese border in exchange for
. most favored nation clause, and
that the agreement provides for the

BEAT Carpenter
LOCAL. MACHINE:
Progressives Win by
Big Majority

Results of the election for busi-
ness agent of the Carpenters Local
2090, made public Thursday, showed
that, John Seidel, the candidate who
received the support of the unions
progressive members was elected by
an overwhelming majority.
A. Berrenzi, reactionary hench-
man of the corrupt Hutchinson
machine, flopped with a bang, re-
cording only 60 votes while John
Seidel, piled up 665 votes.
The workers of this local were de-
termined, their sentiment before the
elections showed, to show their
strength to the clique at the helm of
the Brotherhood.
The reactionary officialdom of the
Carpenters Local 1920 had recently
expelled the chairman of the local,
T h omas Schneider, because he
fought the gang in power and their
policies of betrayal of the member
ship. This as well as the events in
their own local also had great bear
ing on the elections in Local 2090.
When election day came, it was
Immediately recognized that the
progressive workers were con-
sciously determined to prevent any
attempts on the part of the re-
actionaries to tamper with the cleo
tion machinery.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 21.-The
news that the Chilean government
has sent the League of Nations no
tice that in Chile an association in
favor of the League of Nations is
being organized, and that similar
associations will be encouraged in
other Latin American nations, coin
cides with the public outcropbings
of diplomatic differences between
Chile and Bolivia on statements by
each of how and why Bolivia
yielded, temporarily at least, to ar
bitration in the dispute with Para
quay.
1t is known that the day before
Bolivia conceded arbitration, a Sc
cret but intense activity was going
on at Santiago. The Chilean Chan
cellor, Rios Gallardo, was closeted
with the Bolivian and Paraguayan
ministers and then with the Argen-
tine minister. The Bolivian minis
ter then went to secret conference
with the Chilean president, and in
the evening the U. S. minister, Cul-
bertson, conferred with the chancel-
lor. No one knew what was going
on but it was clear that the Chaco
dispute was the subject of these
conversations.
Chile Reproves Bolivia.
Then, the day after the Bolivian

Tom Mann, Labor Veteran,
Sends Greetings to 'Dailv"
BEST OF revolutionary greet
ings to the Daily Worker staff
and readers on its fifth anniver-
sary from your comrade,
tom MANN"

Thus the grand old man Of the
British labor movement, who as one
of the founders and leaders Of the
British Minority Movement is in
the forefront of those fighting the
labor betrayers, sends his birthday
greetings across 5000 miles Of sea

Faith in Workers.
Though past 10, Tom Mann is a
youngster in fighting spirit. He has
never lost faith in the workers and
he knows that the workers of Amer
lea are also going to send their
birthday greetings to the only work
I'M" class daily in the English
language.
The class-conscious A m e + i C n
workers are being asked to send
greetings to their paper not merely
for sentimental reasons. For many
months now the Daily Worker has
concealed it's critical financial situa-
tion from it's readers because of the
many struggles that the workers
have been engaged in and that have
demanded great sacrifices. But now,
with the approach of its fifth ami
ycrsary-a great event for every
class-conscious worker-the 'Daily"
turns to those for whom it fights,
the workers, and asks them to keep
it alive and by sending greetings
with donations at once.
Send Greetings!
On another page of this paper
you will find a greeting list Cut
it out, get greetings from your
shopmates and friends and mail the
list to the Daily Worker as soon as
possible, so that the fames can be
included in the special anniversary
edition, Jan. 5. In addition see to it
that the organization to which you
belong sends their greetings.
Every birthday greeting means
life to the "Daily." Tom Mann has
shown the way. Follow his ex-
ample.
