TIN EXCHANGE
p HITS ENCL.A AND
U. S., British Capital
Clash in New Body

Another sharp point of rivalry
between the rival U. S. and British
empires was discovered yesterday
with the opening in New York of
the National Metal Exchange, a
trading place for tin, primarily.
During the first four hours, three
quarters of million dollars worth
of business was done, which would
formerly have been conducted in
London.
This definite challenge was i'm
mediately accepted in speech by
Charles S. Trench, president of the
British Chamber of Commerce and
president of the National Metal
Clearing Association, who said:
"The British Chamber of Com
merce is intensely interested in the
opening of the National Metal Ex-
change. The exchange is trading in
an article of which the British EN-
pire produces from 60 to Is per
cent of the worlds output and the
United States consumes more than
so per cent. l have heard it said
that this exchange is going to be
blow to British supremacy in making
the price of tin. If that be the case,
then I will say that the British En-
pire believes in competition, and may
the best man win.

consisting of shop representatives of
workers of all nationalities in the
mills will be held Friday, Dec. ID,
at Carpenter Hall, Sc Van Houten
st. The meeting will be held under
the auspices of the Trade Union

and is for the purpose of getting
all workers to work together in
building up union that will control

tions in the shop. The conference
will also take up for consideration
the question of raising funds for
the new union.
New Headquarters Needed.
The headquarters of the Paterson
local Of the National Textile Work
ers' Union at ISL Broadway have
proven too small to permit the grow
ing union to function properly. Since
the broad silk workers broke away
from the reactionary Associated, the
union offices have become overpack-
ed with workers who come in and
ask to join up. While special COM
mittee is looking around for new
Headquarters, the local will be COM

SsonS Press Whips Up War Hatred Against the Rival French b1ast
CHALLENGE OF
P0|NCARE FINDS
/ SHARP RETORTS
Mask Own Aims for
Colonial Power

ROME, Dec. 4.-The fascist news
papers here have taken up the chal-
lenge of French Imperialism and the
attack against Italian imperialism
made by Premier Poincare before
the French chamber in his refer
ence to Mussolin's aspirations for
colonial empire, especially in Syria,
at present under French mandate.
The rivalry between the two rival
powers on the Mediterranean has
rarely been brought to such a sharp
outbreak of attack and counter-at-
tack, such an exchange of charges
of imperialism and ultimate designs
OF conquest, most of them probably
true. The unity of the fascist press
In attacking France leads to the be-
lieve that the action is official and
received its sanction, if not it's or
ders, from Mussolini.
Attacks France.
Stating that. Poincare had declared
that France must retain the Syrian
mandate if the Italian government
were not to grasp it, the Milan Cour-
Ter can be taken as representing
Mussolini's view when it does not
deny this declaration but evades the
issue by protesting the use of Italy
for partisan political purposes.
The same newspaper launches into
furious assault upon Poincare as
the foe of Italy and on France,
which it calls traitor, evidently an
attempt to whip up and keep public
opinion hostile to France. At the
same time the inspired newspaper
editorials declare that they do not
want Syria and take the opportunity
to shift attention from the fascist
imperialist maneuvers on the Medi-
terranean.
Despite the brutal practices of the
fascists in their own colonial spheres
of influence, the editorial hypocriti-
cally states that Italy sis unwilling
to succeed France in the disagree.

MILITANTS IN
MEXICO FORM
UNITED FRONT
Peasants in Solidarity
Pacts With Workers

MEXICO CITY, Dec. An spite
of the attitude of the officials of
the GROIN (Regional Confederation
of Labor of Mexico) in disregard
ing the demands of the autonomous
and "Red" unions for united front
tactics, many of the local GROIN or
CARNATIONS have made solidarity
and united front pacts with indie
pendent labor elements during the
past two months.
The most important of these has
been the solidarity pact just signed
between the Syndicalist Confedera-
ton of the State of Vera Cruz (the
most powerful GROIN state organ
ization outside of the Federal Dis
trict) and the League of Agrarian
Communities, affiliated with the
National Peasants League, which
is affiliated with the Peasants In
ternational.
The pact provides for internal
autonomy and independence of ide-
ology. All conflicts between the
two groups will be settled by COM
missions appointed by the execu-
tive committees of the two organ
izations, and the decisions will then
be rejected or accepted by the re-
spective organizations in their regu-
lar conventions.
The local organizations of both
groups are allowed to make further
solidarity pacts, subject to execu-
tive ratification. No action shall be
taken by either organization which
shall tend to injure the other, espe-
cially in the creation of new locals,
or the creation of new agrarian
communal communities. No public
charges shall be made by one or
ganization against the other, until
an attempt has been made to reach
a proper agreement.
Without giving the conditions of
the pact, the GROIN publications
have announced that the Vera Cruz
Peasant League has affiliated with
the GROIN. The League has denied
this report.

new POWER
PLANT IN USSR
Will Exceed Pre-War
Industry by 1888

Especial to the Daily Worker
MOSCOW, (By MaiD -Moscow's
new electric plant "Electrozavod,"
which is constructed on the site of
the unfinished factory, "Provodnik,"
was opened recently and by 1888 its
production will be one and one half
times more than the production of
the whole electric industry before the
war.
"Electrozavod" was constructed
during the last three years and it
has been already partially working,
its production for ten months
amounting to eleven million rubles.
In 1928-29 the production of
"Elecrozavod" will reach % millions,
next year-forty million roubles.
Toward the end of the next five
years, in 1928, production of the
factory will amount to 80 million
rubles or one and half times more
than production of the whole electric
industry before the war.
At present 3,700 workmen are en-
gagged in the factory and in 1928
their number will reach over 5000.
The general cost of the factory
will amount to As million roubles. Up
to the present time about II million
rubles have already been spent on
the factory.

INDIA PRESS NOT
TO PRINT FAKE
SIMON FINDINGS
Masses Oppose British
Imperialists 4

ALLAHABAD, India, Dec. A..
AS a protest against the brutality
of the police and the government
against the demonstrations in La
hore and Lucknow directed against
the Simon Commission, representa-
tive of British imperialism, Pandit
Nehru, a Swarajist leader, appealed
to the nationalist newspapers to
boycott the Simon Commission en-
tirely by ceasing to print its pro-
ceedings.
The Simon Commission, presuma-
bly, engaged in investigating the
possibility of more independence for
India, but in reality attempting to
reach a compromise with the ma
tive princes and the meaker opposi-
tionists, has been closely guarded Z
by police and barbed wire entangle-
ments during the course of its trip.
Despite the order that no mass
demonstrations be allowed in the
vicinity of the commission, the COM
missioners were met with mass pro-
tests at virtually every one of their
stopping places, and with such signs
as Down with Imperialism" and
"Simon Go Home" Clashes be-
tween demonstrators and police
have taken place, the most violent
one being at Lahore and Lucknow
where the police charged the
crowds, swinging their clubs freely.
1t is believed that the Swarajist
newspapers, which have attacked
the commission, will follow Nehru's
advice and refuse to publish the
proceedings of the commission.
