OIL INTERESTS
END india WAR
Price-cutting Eut Too
Many Profits

LONDON, Sept. 12.-After the
price war between Dutch Shell and
the Standard Oil in India, in which
it was found that the Royal Dutch
Shell undercharged considerable in
order to win the eastern market
from the United States, both com
panies are now charging exorbitant
prices, according to the report of
an Indian board of inquiry.
AT the beginning of the price war
the Dutch Shell alleged that the
Standard had bought oil from the
Soviet Oil Syndicate which right
fully belonged to it, on the basis Of
pre-revolutionary claims.
1t is generally believed that the
two oil companies, after their re-
cent conference in England, had,
among other things, decided to give
up the price-war because of its dam
aging results. According to the
board of inquiry, the excess charged
by the oil companies would amount
to about S2O,O0O,000 above the or
binary economic prices.

Papers Carry No News
of Raids

MADRID, Sept. II (UP).-Ex-
traordinary precautions have been
taken by police and military au-
thorities to suppress any disorder at
tomorrow's ceremonies celebrating
the fifth anniversary of Premier
Primo De Rivera's regime as die
tator.
Any disturbance will be put down
quickly. Officials, however, were
confident that plot to overthrow
the De Rivera rule had been broken
thoroughly by more than 800 arrests
here and in che provinces.
This mornings papers, due to
censorship, did not carry line
about the miscarried plot, which was
discovered Tuesday. All that was
printed was the announcement that
De Rivera was comforting today with
the ministers of interior and justice
and the chief of police about prep
arations for tomorrow's ceremony,
which will draw $4,000 visitors to
Madrid.
Sixty additional arrests at Valen-
cia, were reported today by Captain
General Castro Girona, but on Or
ders from Madrid they were made
by civil police instead of the mill
tary. General Girona, as military
chief, added that no indication was
seen of disturbances in Valencia.

campaign of functionaries as is the
case with the socialist party cleo
ton campaign. The revival of the
pioneer spirit among the members
of the only revolutionary working
class political party in the United
States is a guarantee that the
Workers (Communist) Party is des-
tined to fulfill its historical role in
America, which is to organize and
lead the masses for the conquest of
the land and machinery which they
now use for the profit of the ruling
classes in return for bare exis-
tence, and to place political power
exclusively in the hands of the
workers and farmers.
While the socialist party is mob
ilizing ministers of religion, profess
sional journalists, bourgeois college
professors and shyster lawyers, the
Workers (Communist) Party is
modifying the working masses. In
this work, the class conscious wom-
en- in industry will be called on to
volunteer, the members of the
Young Workers (Communist)
League will be asked to place their
energy and enthusiasm at the dis
posal of the Central Executive Com
mittee, Negro radicals will be sent
into the south to bring the message
of Communism to the prosecuted
and exploited black workers in the
factories and on the farms and Com
munist agitators will go into the
farming regions to organize Party
branches.
"In this campaign" Comrade
Trachtenberg concluded, "every
member of the Party must become
Party builder. Those who can
leave home and work for awhile are
expected to volunteer Immediately
for this interesting and politically
important task"

Imperialists Discuss
Occupation of Rhine
at Session in Geneva

GENEVA, Sept. 12.-Five repre-
sentatives of big powers met here
today to discuss the question of the
evacuation of German land occupied
by allied troops and to formulate a
common platform to present to the
United States government that
would combine the question of the
evacuation of the Rhine with that
of war debts.
Previously BRAND of France had
declared that evacuation would not
take place without some form of re-
payment. The French delegation,
supported by the British, has de-
manded as a form of remuneration
that the railroad and industrial Sc
cur4ties of Germany be marketed
abroad, that the allies control the
German frontier and that there be
no talk of a German-Austrian po-
litical union. By a united platform
the European powers expect to have
the United States government re-
duce or cancel the war debts in re-
turn for the German securities.
With characteristic seclusion moth
ing was said of the results of the
first conference, but a long series
of negotiations are thought neces-
sary before the powers concerned
will agree to common platform.

DRIVE TO help
MILL CHILDREN
Open w. l. R. Station
in New Bedford

A relief station to feed the chill
dren of the textile strikers is soon
to be opened in New Bedford by the
Workers International Relief. The
Mothers League of New England
is launching special campaign for
its support. The Hebrew Bakers
Local as has taxed its members with
fifty cents per capita, making a
sum of about $125 which is to go
toward the initial expense of the
children's station. Two food sta
tions, at the north and south end
of New Bedford, are maintained by
the Workers International Relief.
1t also conducts soup kitchens in
Fall River.
Increased relief activity is report
ed in Boston and vicinity. Jean
nette D. Pearl, field organizer for
the W. l. R., is visiting and address,
ing organizations, enlisting SYM
pathy and support of workers and
friends. At a special meeting Of
the Carpenters Local 157 dollar
tax per member was levied. The
president, A. Roosar, advanced a
check of 200 on account, and prom
check of 5000 on account, and prom
soon. Generous donations have been
made by the New York and indie
pendent Workmen's Circle of Bos-
ton, w. S. & D. B. F., American
Austrian Benefit Society, with
promise of help from several other
organizations.
The board of directors of the
Community Church, after listening
to report of the New Bedford situa-
ton, assured Miss Pearl of their
sympathy with the need for relief
and offered to start a relief drive
in support of the w. l. r. relief
kitchens.

144 ROUMANIAN
PEASANTS AND
WORKERS TRIED
Government Witnesses
are Police Spies

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Septs IL.
The Rumanian government yester-
day began the trial of 144 workers
and peasants on charges Of spread
ing Communist propaganda, accord
ing to reports from Klausenburg.
Against these defendants the gov
eminent has marshalled more than
four hundred witnesses, many of
whom, according to statements of
the workers, are police spies and
government agents.
The evidence in the case is COM
prised in several volumes of closely
printed matter.
In spite of the strictness with
which the Rum'anian censorship has
endeavored to keep the less savory
details of the arrests from leaving
the country, stories of unbelievable
cruelty and fortunes in the Rumani-
an jails have frequently found their
way across the frontier and into
the stories of correspondents.
Many of the defendants in the
present trial have been held in
prisons for months following their
arrest on charges which, at times,
are no more serious than the pos
session of a book declared illegal
by the authorities or an accidental
world. In many cases the arrests
can be laid to local jealousies and
informing for revenge.

JAP ANESE TORIES
PLAN OFFENSIVE

TOXIC, Sept. 12.-Many charges
of bribery and other underhand
methods punctuate the comment
here on the complete Insolvency of
the opposition party, Minseito,
which leaves Baron Tanaka in pow
er and his policy towards Manchuria
and the Marking regime intact.
The first move in this series of
government maneuvers took place
on August l when Takejiro Toxic
Mani seeded from the opposition
group and threatened to form a
third party, which weakened the OPP
position (Minseito). Well informed
observers charge that this move was
inspired by the government group
and that the further disintegration
of the Minseito was brought about
by cash brides.
This clever maneuvering has re-
suited in the maintenance of the
policy of military agg/-sion in
Manchuria and enmity to the Sow
let Union. The Minseito, in event
it had attained power, would per-
haps have adopted less militant
ly aggressive" policy but one es-
sentially based on the protection of
the Japanese Interests" in Man
churia.

REFORMISTS ASK
open DOOR" FOR
ARGENTINE OIL
Block Naturalization
Project

BUENOS AYRES, Argentina.
Sept. 1.-THE proposal to national
ize all oil lands met with setback
when a coalition of the minority
parties, including the conservatives,
Socialists" and anti-personal rad
icals decided to obstruct any discus
sion of the plan in the chamber.
.sji
The bill calls for the expropri-
alton of all oil lands including those
held by private and foreign interests u
and would effect British and Amer o
lean oil companies y<lo have the
principle concessions in the Argent
tine. The largest United States in-s9
terest is held by the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey. ~
The minority bloc can obstruct
the discussion on the proposed legis- 7
lation by absenting itself from the
chamber, thus preventing a quorum
which is necessary for any discus
sion of new laws.
The Argentine produces about In
$4,000 tons of crude oil, of which
only 100000 come from the national
reserves, the remainder being sup
piled by the foreign investors. In
order to fulfill the fuel need Argen- 81
tine must import about $4,000 tonss
Between the oil interests in the
country itself and the companies
that export to Argentina, virtual
control over the fuel supply is exer-
cised by the foreign interests.
The Socialist" and conservative
bloc stand for an open-door policy
for foreign oil exploiters.

French WORKERS
PRESS ON BRAND
Charges War Prepara-
ton Against USSR.

PARIS, Sept. 12.-Brian d S
speech at Geneva in which he
stressed the need for military de-
tense against a war which he
charged was being prepared by the
Soviet Union, resulted in many COM
ments here, the most important of
which was the denunciation of the
militarist policy of the French gov
eminent by the Communist press.
The criticism pointed out that
French military and naval costs
were rising, that new preparations
were being made, Sss2eeially in the
new line of Notifications stretching
across Europe, the construction of
airplane bases, and the perfection
of chemical means of warfare.
When BRAND charges the Soviet
Union with fostering a class war"
and claimed that military strength
was necessary not so much for ma
tional defense but for protection
against the menace" the Commu-
mist press charges that was only an
excuse for further preparations for
an offensive war against the Soviet
Union, and for the perfection of a
strike breaking and counter-revolu-
tionary organization of military
and naval strength.
By trying to discredit the Soviet
Union by his references to "theatri-
cal gestures" BRAND is only trying
to draw the. attention of the French
masses from the significance of it's
class struggle and the sincere and
whole-hearted desire of the Soviet
Union for peace, the press said.
On the other hand, semi-official
government papers like the Temps,
commended BRAND on his stand at
Geneva, especially against the Ger
man demand for evacuation.

said, Mitchell Palmer, attorney
general, got out his infamous in
junction against the miners and un-
der the Harding regime the motor
ious Harry Daugherty got the Wiki
erson injunction out against the
striking railroad workers. The re-
dictionary leaders of the American
Federation of Labor have conven-
iently forgotten the strikebreaking
roles played by both parties, and
are now scrambling for position on
the bandwagons of the democratic
and republican parties.
But the workers who went thru
these strikes, who were dubbed,
jailed and blacklisted, who lost their
working conditions and suffered re-
auctions in wages as a result of
those injunctions, have not forgot
ten. The lessons of those strug-
giles have been engraved on their
memories and they are willing to
listen to the program of the, Work
ers (Communist) Party which 'alls
on them to organize Industrial;
and politically, and points out that
only thru militant struggle can they
hold whatever gains they have made
in the past, win further concessions
from the bosses in the future and
prepare for the final overthrow of
the capitalist system, and the es-
tablishment of Workers and
Farmers Government, which will
build a new society and free labor
from the chains of the present slav-
cry, the constant fear of unemploy-
ment, the horrors of war, and other
evils of capitalism"
Trachtenberg announced that all
these comrades who have machines,
whether they be flivvers or second
hand Packards, will be asked to loan
them to the Party during this or
ganization drive. Every vehicle ca
pable of eating up space will be
pressed into service. Comrades who
cannot secure other means of loco
motion will hike from town to town.
The National Office of the Workers
(Communist) Party will provide all
the necessary campaign material,
leaflets, membership cards, collec-
ton blanks, sub blanks for the Daily
Worker and other Communist or
gans.
Members who are ready to offer
their services are urged to get in

essary information, tell where they

clear that the National Election

munist ticket, but that it is primar-
lily campaign to build the Party,

GERMAN MINERS
THREATEN STRIKE.
Soft Coal Diggers Get
Small Pay

SENFTENBERG, Germany (FP).
Soft coal miners of this district
are preparing to strike in October
for the eight-hour day. Now they
are working 91a hours.
The strike, it is expected, will be
short but exciting. Last year the
coal diggers struck for a wage in
crease. Officials with polished
boots, riding breaches and canes
soiled manicured hands to help
strikebreakers. Despite elaborate
police protection for the blacklegs,
the organized miners won-although
10 pfennigs was the extent of their
victory. That is about 215 cents
American.
Average wages are now about 80
marks a week, or $3.50. That fig
ure also represents just about the
purchasing power of 30 marks.
Competition of badly paid Polish
miners depresses German standards.
German miners live barely on the
subsistence level, denied many or
binary articles of diet deemed es-
sential in America. Among these
are butter, eggs and milk. Cheap
meats, sausages, vegetables and
dark bread constitute the digger's
diet.
American coal operators haven't
much to learn over here. Miners
live in company houses in a COM
pany town. The company owns the
store, hotel, bakery, church and
other buildings.

mill owners even the city's public
schools are, was sharply demon
strated this week when members of
the Young Pioneers League and
members of the Strikers Childrens'
Club, were the subject of vicious
campaign of persecution for their
activities in behalf of the strike.
Punishment for their affiliations
ranges fro mpetty annoyances of
,the suspected children, all the way
10 open floggings. Anna Ellenterio,
III years old, pupil in the In
graham School was first scolded for
her membership in the Pioneers and
then beaten till she tainted. The of
ficial crime she was alleged to have
committed was that of not knowing
the location of Mississippi. Eliza
Moura, Roosevelt Junior High School
was punished for having the Pion-
GERS insignia on her blouse.
Dominique Costello, ten, the. son
of a shoemaker who soles the shoes
of strikers free, was held after
school yesterday and beaten for
wearing Pioneer tie. Gangs of
young roughs are being sent to start
fights with the children picketing
the homes Of scabs. Manuel Ber-
nado, IL had his eyes BACKED and
Louis Garcia, II, was bruised.
In spite of all this persecution,
however, the childrens' movement
grows by leaps and bounds, in ac-
tivity as well as numbers. Strikers
children, volunteered to join the
Pioneers in widespread distribution
bf the Young Comrade, official or
gan of the Young Pioneers Of
America.
Great enthusiasm was shown by
the strikers from the Whitman Mill
when they attended the meeting of
their mill committee. Fred E. Beal
was chairman and reported on the
planned new union to be launched in
New York on Sept. %. Keller and
Dawson, returned from the U. T. w.
convention were accorded a spirited
ovation. Thursday evening, the
strikers from the Nashewena Mill
are to meet. Friday the Soule Mill
workers meet with the Acushnet and
Potomska following soon thereafter.
