INTERESTS IN
RUBBER BATTLE
Predict Native Unrest
as Fight Begins

PARIS, Sert. 10.-Reports from
Liberia and French Senegal state
that leaflets printed in the nativ .
dialects and urging the natives 20
resist American encroachments have
made their appearance in the Neg .
renuhlic.
Wireless messages attacking the
American concessionaires are also
said TO have been broadcast on the
west African coast.
While the purnose Of these nt-
tacks is unquestionably an attempt
on the part Of the French rubber in
terests to discomfort their competi-
tors in Liberia, one section of opin-
ion here is alarmed over the effect
which the propaganda will have
upon the native tribes.
The opinion has found expression
that disturbances may be expected
in west Africa if propaganda of a
similar nature continues.
Both French and American off
Gals express themselves as con-
cerned over this latest turn in the
rubber war which is rapidly devel-
oping between the rival interests in
Africa. Neither would welcome a
general outbreak among the ma
tives, though each IS willing to To-
ment disturbances in the enemy-s
territories. The French, as the
older and longer established inter
est, is at present the aggressor, but
a number of indications suggest that
policy of reprisal will not be long
in following on the part of the Fire
stone interests.
Meanwhile the natives are re-
ported to be deserving the fields and
enlisting in the Firestone planta-
tions, lured by stories which agents
of the corporation are spreading
throughout Liberia. Some fear is
being expressed for the staple crops,
which are in danger of loss should
the drain of land workers from the
fields not be compensated by paral-
lei drift from the plantations once
the rubber workers have been disil-
lusioned. The Firestone Company
is reported to have foreseen this
sventuality and to have prepared
an elaborate system for keeping the
natives in the company's control
whatever their will to leave the
Firestone service.

THIRTY HELD AS
FOREIGNERS IN
OFFICIAL PLOT
Demonstration for the
Communist Youth

PARIS, Sept. 10.-A total of 800
arrests was made by the Paris po-
lice on Communists and workers
who met yesterday to protest
against the Kellogg peace pact in
mass meeting outside the city.
Thirty of the men were detained
charged with possessing improper,
or lack of Identification papers.
They will be held for deportation as
foreigners, a favorite device of the
Paris project of police, Chiappe,
who was in charge of the police at
tack.
The mass demonstration scheduled
to take place at st. Denis in the cor
don rouge, the Red Belt which en-
circles Paris, was intended as COM
memoration of the fourteenth ami
versary of the Young Communist
Youth organization in France, as
we'll as protest against the KEEL
logg pact.
Chiappe, who recently announced
the perfection of a plan to abandon
Paris in event of a workers upris-
ing and concentrate the counter
revolution in Versailles, had the
three Communist speakers, deputy
Garchery, and municipal councillors
Jolly and Cells arrested at the St.
Denis gate. They were taken to the
police station and only after re
peated refusals to answer questions
were set free. The police admit
that they were unable to learn any
thing from the prisoners.
The thirty workers who are be-
ing held on deportation charges
were still in jail last night. While
tia police claim that they are for
eigners this fact has not been es-
tablished in more than a few cases.
Following the Sacco-Vanzetti dem
onstrations in Paris in 1927, police
project Chiappe used the same de-
portation proceedings to send
number Of workers leaders out of
the country. 1t was charged at that
time that not all those deported
were foreigners, but the deportation
proceedings were carried on by the
police in secret.

Aviation Crashes

Ten men were killed and 5 seri

deaths were traceable directly to the

cooperation with militarist aviation
societies, now being carried on n

them into becoming part of re,

T. NJ. c. Stronger.
Now the mill owners are openly
expressing their belief in the "sin-
cerity" of the council officials, and
are ready to confer. The probable
course of action, observers declare,
will be to reach a settlement with
Batty and then try to break the
strike with the aid of the A. F. of L.
officials and a newly intensified
police terror against the T. M. c..
picket lines.
The continually growing influ-
ence and prestige of the Textile
Workers Union of the T. NJ. C. re-
ceived new powerful impetus in the
last few days developments. An
obvious process of disintegration is
easily evident in the ranks of the
Textile Council. Many more mem
bers of that union joined the T. M.
c. outright, and even those remain
ing show their disgust with their
misleaders by threats of revolt in
the U. T. w. locals.
The New Bedford Times, which
strongly favors the Frieder plan,
states:
"Some believe that the manufac-
turers would not agree to a settle
ment on this basis, because they
have no assurance that such a set
Element would be supported by the
operatives themselves in spite of its
approval by the Textile Council
strike committee. Even though the
specialization system, which has
been advanced as the basis of set
Element is not the system which is
known as the speed.up, the opera
tives appear to understand it as
such"
