The Diet which will convene next
Monday is the first national parlia-

manhood suffrage law. Bitter politi-

the empires relations with China
and on domestic tax issues.
Able political observers believe the
life of Premier Baron Tanaka's
cabinet. which has been in power
since April. 1927. will depend on its
ability to weather this storm without
defeat on any major question. The
government enters the conflict with
a small numerical advantage in the
house OF representatives over its
avowed opposition. but the margin
is so slight that ministerial defeat
is always possible.

crate their own national programs
on the basis of the international
program.
Kolarov, of Bulgaria, declared
that his delegation is in general
agreed on the draft, but does not
agree with Bukharin's statement to
the program commission that Bull
garia is country where a bour-
geois democratic revolution is to
be expected before a proletarian
revolution. The Bulgarian peas
ants could be organized not only
for an agrarian revolution, but also
for the fight against capitalism and
for socialism.
Duncker, of Germany, then with
drew his objections to the form of
the draft, but suggested that it be
entitled Program Manifesto" A
short declaration of principles
should be extracted, he said, and
pasted inside Party membership
book. The Congress should adopt
the draft.
Mikolos, of the Soviet Ukrainia,
declared that the draft failed to
mention the feminist definition of
the dictatorship of the proletariat as
a class alliance of the proletariat
with the non-proletarian toilers for
the overthrow of capitalism, the de-
struction of capitalist attempts at
restoration and the establishment
of socialism.
India Halls Draft.
Narayan, of India, then declared
that the Indian delegation well
coined the draft. Its chief ad-
vantage, he asserted, was it's de-
tailed treatment Of the colonial side
Of the World Revolution. Certain
points referring to the colonies, par
ticularly to India, should be more
clearly formulated, however. Re-
garding the possibility of a tenn
porary cooperation between the
Communists and the native bour-
geoisie, the Communists must never
forget that the native bourgeoisie is
incapable of an honest fight against
British imperialism. The Indian
Communist Party must utilize the
differences between the native and
the British bourgeoisies, but must
never forget that the differences
represent no more than a family
quarrel between two bourgeoisies.

WATSON ACT is
USED TO FIGHT
RAIL WORKERS
Union Misleaders in
Betrayal

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-A state
ment issued today by the confer
ence committee of railroad man
ayers attacking the taking Of the
strike vote by the Brotherhoods of
Railway Trainmen and Conductors
has Unexpectedly revealed the bosses
purposes behind the Watson-P Parker
as an instrument put over to prevent
all strike activity Of the railroad
workers.
Although the union officials have
done all in their power to ditch ac-
ton on the part of the workers and
have "arbitrated" the issue four
times, the railroad magnates now at
tack the unions for their refusal
to arbitrate." The move is seen
here as a preliminary to a country
wide attack on the railroad workers
standards, an extension of the most
intensive speed-up now in force on
the railroads.
Discredits Law.
The strike vote, the managers de-
clare, is "imperiling the usefulness
of the Watson-P Parker Railway La
Dor Act" thereby revealing what
they expected the act to accomplish.
After the passage of the law the
New York Times" declared edi-
torially that "a strike on the rail-
roads is now inconceivable.
