SENATE TAKES Up
FAKE FARM BILL
McNary-Haugen Meas
ure Is Considered

WASHINGTON, March 20. 49, The
revised McNary- Haugen farm "relief"
bill was to be taken up today in the
senate with indications pointing to
it's enactment next week by sub
stantial majority.
In its new compromise form, the
bill differed considerably from the
measure vetoed by President Coolidge
a year ago. 1t contained the equaliza-
ton fee feature, written into former
relief bills, but in such an amended
form that its authors hope to secure
presidential approval.
The federal farm board, to consist
of the secretary of agriculture and
twelve members, one from each Fed
eral Reserve district, would be APP
pointed by the president, subject to
confirmation by the senate. All the
authority for carrying out agricul-
tural relief would be vested in this
board.

Pardon for Burns, at
LeavenwOrth, Sought

WASHINGTON, March 20. - A
pardon application for William Burns
of California, who is serving a fifteen
mon hs' sentence in Leavenworth for
mare membership in the Industrial
Workers of the World, has been sent
to the Pardon Attorney at Washing
ION by the American Civil Liberties
Union.
Burns was arrested in the Yosemite
National Park in 1924 and tried in the
federal court at San Francisco for
criminal syndicalism, an offense which
does not exist in federal law. The
regulations governing Yosemite Ma
tional Park provide that the Cali.
fornia laws apply to it, though trials
take place in the federal courts.
The case was taken to the United
States Supreme Court by Attorney
r. w. Henderson of Bakersfield, act
ing for the l. w. W. in order to test
out the issue of whether membership
in the l. W. w, was crime. The de-
cision was handed down in 1927 with
that in the case of Charlotte Anita
Whitney and upheld the California
syndicalism law as applied to the
l. w. w.
Burns started serving his sentence
in November 1927 and will be out on
June 10. He is the only federal polit-
ical prisoner.

FEDERAL TROOPS
DEFEAT MEXICAN
REACTIONARIES
Kill 1875 in Fierce En-
gagement

MEXICO CITY, March 29.-One
hundred and twenty-six eounter-revo-
lutionary troops including two priests,
were killed in an all day battle with
federal troops at San Francisco Rim
son, state of Auanajuato, said a dis
patch to the war office today. This is
an increase in the casualty list con-
tanned in earlier fragmentary reports.
This was the biggest and most VIC
lent engagement fought since the
counter-revolutionists began their
campaign against the government.
There were between 800 and 400
men in the reactionary band, led by
Domingo Anaya. They had taken up
a strong position on a Hacienda near
San Francisco Rincon and did not at
tempt to retreat when the federals
moved to the attack.
After a day Of heavy gun-fire the
federals began to close in upon the
reactionaries who fled, leaving their
dead and many wounded behind them.
Among the dead was Domingo Ana
va, the leader, who was identified by
his uniform and papers in his pockets.
This was the largest contingent Of
reactionaries operating in Guiana
Juato and war office officials believe
that the defeat will go far towards
breaking down the insurrection in
Western Mexico.
The remnants Of the band of re-
dictionaries fled towards the noun
tains pursued by federals.

In regard to the present condition
Of the trade unions, have already re-

Union Secretariat about the history,

All-China Labor Federation, at the
inaugural Conference in HanIlow last
May You know of the beginnings Of
our movement, in 1919, and how, since
the great strike movement of May 80,
1925, we have been the dominant force
in the development of the Chinese
Revolution. The four National Con-
crosses of the All-China Labor Fede-
ration, 1922, 1925 and 1926 in Canton,

step forward in that development.

while we are driven underground
The raactionary appointed leaders
are mostly not workers, although
they call themselves Executive COM
mittees" of the unions; some are
military men, some are bourgeois in

renegade workers. They are directly
under the orders of the Kuomintang.
They tell the workers they are APP
pointed by the government "to direct
the trade unions in the interest of the
national revolution" They collect
dues forcibly, and use the military to
arrest all who refuse to pay. The
workers are invited to file their COM

effective police weapon in time of

out warning against peaceful homes
The most recent police outrage of
this character occurred when E. J.

suffocated in their sleep by the gas

they will submit them to the Kuo.

go to the employers, and use these

Then they tell the workers the Kuo.

Each militarist has his own set OF
"Reorganizing Committeeman" who
fight each other as do their masters
Thus the reorganization Committee
appointed in Canton by Ii Chi-sen tc
take over the Seamen's Union, Sc zed
the unions funds, $4,000 which were
in the bank, and spent it. Ii Chi-ser
was driven out by Chang Fa-kwei
who set up new Reorganization
Committee" which, without funds
had to find new schemes for squeeze
they collected by force Sc from each
of the Hongkong strikers who had
just been given a bonus by the GOV
eminent in order to liquidate the
strike. Now Ii Chi-sen has come
back to power, the second Reorgani-
zation Committee ran away with its
new treasury, and third set of RE
organizers" is preparing new means
of filling their pockets.
Act as Spies.
These "Reorganizing Committees''
act everywhere as spies, turning over
workers to the militarists to be ex-
ecuted, while they make paper records
of so many thousands of workers in
their unions" But the workers are
not in these unions; only a very
few backward workers are sometimes
fooled for little while.

LOAN TO MEXICO
FOR FAKE CLAIMS

WASHINGTON, March 30 (FPl.-
Immediately following the announce
ment that Ambassador Morrow had
secured from President Gales of
Mexico a signed agreement settling
the Mexican oil land dispute, the sug-
gestion was made in high administra-
ton circles that Mexico will need a
considerable loan from the United
States.
The loan is to be negotiated for
the purpose of paying the alleged
claims of American spectators whose
lands were eonfiscated and distributed
among the poems. The claims of
American investors total almost bill
lion dollars.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Dis-
posal of the vexatious oil controversy
has paved the way for early adjust
ment of all remaining major issues
between the United States and Mexi-
co, officials here believe.
The state department declined today
to reveal the present status of
negotiations between ambassador
Morrow and President Gales in Mexi-
co City, or the nature of the final ad-
justment in the principal outstanding
problem-the Agrarian Land Laws.
But from other quarters it was
learned that Morrow's diplomacy has
been almost as successful in this issue
is in the involved oil dispute.
