PROTEST meet
AGAINST FASCIST
Suppress Paper Which
Denounces BalbO

The hand of Mussolini has again
reached out to persecute the Italian
workers in this country. His agent
is Italo Belbo, one of the chief
murderers of the fascist militia, and
their minister of aviation. In pro-
test against his activities, the Inter-
national Labor Defense and the
Anti-Fascist Alliance have arranged
a mass protest meeting for Thurs
day, January 8, at Irving Plaza, 18th
Street and Irving Place.
The U. S. Government has COM
piled with the wishes of the fascists
to the extent of suppressing an edi-
tion of II Martello, Italian anarchist
weekly, and prescribing that all
other issues must be submitted to the
post office solicitor at Washington
before mailing.
The speakers at the meeting will
be Vanni Montana, of II Lavatore,
Carlo Tresca, of II Martello and the
Anti-Fascist Alliance, Norman Tai
lentire, of the I. L. D., William
Weinstone, of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party, and T. De Fazio,
chairman, of the Anti-Fascist AL
lance.

most dangerous expression of
the right danger.
a. By persisting in its un-
principled factional fight against
the Central Executive Commit
tee the opposition is giving OBJ
jective support to Trotskyism.
which threatens the integrity of
the Party.
5. The rejection by the Com
munist International of the
charge made by the opposition
that the Central Executive CON-
mittee was right wing is correct
and should satisfy every Party
member.
s. l fully subscribe to the
Communist International decla-
ration that there is no basis in
principle to justify a factional
struggle in our Party at the
present time.
Failure TO abandon the unprin-
cipled factional fight has led the
opposition to take under it's pro-
tective wings the most destruc-
tive opportunist elements in the
fractions.
This fact as well as my agree
ment with the Central Executive
Committee in its policies and in
its sclf-criticism of the Party er-
rors has led me to Gisassociate
myself from the minority, and to
support wholeheartedly the Gen.
trail Executive Committee of our
Party.
Comradely yours,

Workers (Commpnist) Party.

President OF Council
Completes with Dicks

An appeal to the open shop labor
hating employers of New York to
subsidize further the campaign of
the Central Trades and Labor Coun-
ell against Communists and militant
workers in the trade unions has been
issued by Joseph P. Ryan, over his
signature as president of the Coun-
Gil.
Wants Ads.
The form in which the subsidy is
solicited is that of advertisements in
ne Councils "hold-up sheet" called
also "The Central Trades and Labor
Council thick, semi-annual
magazine, issued not for general
circulation but only for those who
advertise in it and for the delegates
to the council and other privileged
persons. 1t contains only advertise
ments and extracts from the labor
laws.
The letter by Ryan, sent to all ad-
vertisers, without regard to their
attitude owards union labor, and to
all heavy advertisers in New York
who have not yet come across,
openly promises an alliance of the
A. F. of L. bureaucrats with the
labor batting employers for the pur-
pose of attacking Communism. 1t
promises also to "Americanize the
foreign born workers in New York,
and make them safe and docile
slaves of American industrialists.
Gangster Program.
Ryan does not explain in detail
that hte services of Green and the
A. F. of L. bureaucracy, which he
calls "the membership of labor
unions in America" consists in such
campaigns of terrorism against the
rank and file of these unions, and
against all militant workers, as
have covered the coal fields of Penn
sylvania and Illinois with blood, and
have strewn the streets of New
York with the victims of right wing
gangsterism. He does not take the
trouble to inform the patrons" that
Green's conservative and construc-
tive" policies are those of union
labels on American imperialism's
battle cruisers, are the "B. & O.
Plan" of class collaboration, are
Ryan's own management of the
traction strike so that in every case
the traction workers are sold out,
and get worse treatment at the end
of the dispute than ever before.
Against Class Struggle.
Ryan addresses his letter to "Our
Patrons" and says to the bosses:
Are you aware of the important
and beneficial service being render
ed by the membership of labor
unions in America, in their efforts
to combat the Communistic agita-
tors, who are endeavoring to arouse
discomfort, by spreading amongst
the foreign-born workers residing in

LOIRE Miners
CALL WALK0UT
Demand Higher Pay;
Others Joining

ST. ETIENNE, France, Dec. 26. -
Coal miners in the Loire fields de-
clared a strike, effective today, un-
less the mine owners meet their de-
mands in full for higher wages.
The strike here is a part of the
general movement for strikes in
other French coal fields, due to low
wages, and the higher cost of liv-
ing.
The committee of Loire mine
owners, thru their President Pigeot,
is attempting to bluff the miners
and workers generally into believ-
ing that, due to overproduction of
coal in Europe and the resulting
lower profits, it would be impossible
to raise wages.
This excuse for keeping the work
ers on low wages does not work for
1t is known fact that the disor-
ganization in the British industry
is partly cue to profitable sale of
European coal in Britain and that
French coal finds plenty of markets.
Pigeot also attempted to refute
the fact of the spreading restless
ness among the French miners by
declaring that the Loire strike was
not result of strikes in other coal
regions.
MARSEILLES, France, Dec. 26
~. PO.-Seventy miners narrowly
escaped death today when an ele-
vator cable snapped while they were
descending a shaft S75 yards in
depth. Safety devices saved the ele-
vator from falling.

lists an irreconcilable conflict be-
tween Capital and Labor? Such is
not the case but these agitators are
opposed to the conservative and con-
structive policies of the A. F. of L.,
which under the ale leadership of
Pres. Green, are in striking con-
trast with the solution for industrial
ills, as proposed by the advocates
of Communistic theories.
"The work of our organization

HOOVER COMING
TO PLAN DRIVE
| AGAINST BRITISH
Will Tell Reparations
w Delegates What
EN to Do
'-@-Ss
Morrow Is an Adviser
Morgan Man Almost
Sure in State Post

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-In ad-
dition to pushing the cruiser bill
and the Kellogg pact when Hoover
arrives here on January for ten
day business stay after his Latin
American cruise, he will also help
to instruct the delegates to the ap-
preaching conference on German
reparations, it was learned here to-
day.
1t is said that Coolidge sent a
special invitation to Hoover to at
tend all the conferences in Wash
ington on the projects which face
the United States imperiahsts. The
matter of reparations and war debts
is only one of the many points at
which the Franco-British entente
and the United States government
clash, and it is extremely important
for American interests that the con-
ference be prepared for carefully.
Hoover was a member of the Amer
ican debts commission and had much
to do with the framing of the Dawes
plan.
Send Hoover's Friends.
1t is suggested on authoritative
sources that either Owen D. Young,
of the General Electric, or Henry
M. Robinson, a close friend of Hoo
ver or both will be members of
the new Dawes commission. 1t is
generally believed that Dwight Nor
row, ambassador to Mexico and for
merly of ]. P. Morgan and Company,
will be the third member of the COM
mission and this almost makes it
a certainty that he will be Hoover's
secretary of state. Morrow. as
member of the Morgan banking firm,
had much to do with the framing
of the Dawes plan, and his presence
at the reparations conference tallies
well with his subsequet appointment
as secretary of state.
Another reason for Hoover's sud
den change of plan to leave Mexico
City and Havana out of his imperi-
aIist itinerary and come directly to
Washington, without stopping over
i'll Florida, is believed to lA the
present situation on the Polivian-
Paraguayan matter and the desire
to have an immediate and complete
report of Hoover's trip to Latin
America.
Other reasons assigned for Hoo
vel's change of plan is ascribcd to
his desire to put the fake McNary-
daugen bill thru and the report
that some of the party chiefs are
putting up some trouble in the mat
ter of appointments to the new cab
iret.

IN the early part of the day the plane

It Is day that should be fortunate

though they are assured Of rough

The seers declare that the planetary
keen mind. all the influences making
for keen foresight and daring enter
prise.
While men engage In projects that re-
quire supreme courage and aggressive
ness, the influence OF the stars will b.
manifested among women. who will be
inclined toward initiative in romance.
All the signs appear TO presage a re-

even though young men and women will
contend for distinction.
Under this direction of the stars. mo-
