USSR ReOrganiZes the
Chiatury Manganese;
Hartman Ruined 1t

TIFLIS (By MaiD. The govern
ment commission for Investigation
of the Chiatury maganeze industry
under the Craftsmanship of Aralov,
member of the Presidium of the Su-
preme Council of National Economy
of the U. S. S r., which arrived
here for this purpose has elaborat-
ed measures to be taken for the in
crease of production of maganeze.
Aralov said the following to rep
resentatives of the press:
"The Soviet Government received
from the former concessionary,
Hartman, the Chiatury maganeze
industry in dilapidated and ruined
state. Since then the Chiatury mag
aneze trust has not spared it's eff
fort in order to reconstruct the bus
mess entirely. In result eight
dressing workshops have started to
work with full capacity whereas
only one factory was received in
comparative order from the conces-
slonary.
"In the near future nine more
workshops will be opened. The en-
gineers and technical personnel are
carrying on energetic work trying
to rationalize the production of ore
and its dressing. The production
has been greatly increased in COM
parison with the time when the
mines were under the concessionary.
At present twelve mines are already
working and five more will be open
ed in the near future. 1t is ex-
pected to increase the number of
workers in the current year up to
6,0O0 men as against 500 working
lately under the concessionary."

White Southern Gang
Drives Negro Family
From Plantation Home

Three white men, Jim Lowery,
Claude Hathaway and j. L. Long
wood, who after firing upon the
house Of Willie Sutton, a Negro
worker, entered it, demolished the
furniture and burned it, are under
arrest in the city jail.
The raid was instigated by a
white man who wanted to occupy
the Sutton house. Refusal of the
owner and Sutton to move angered
him, and he thereupon organized
gang and perpetrated the attack.
The house was riddled by buckshot
and bullets. All but one of the &C.
cupants escaped injury only by flee
ing. No lynching party has as yet
stormed the jail in quest of the
raiders.

Physicians bride foremen by pres

TRY MILLINER
union SLUCGERS
Zaritsky Thugs Beat
Militant Worker

The trial Of four thugs who made
a brutal assault on militant mil
linery worker comes up in Jeffer-
son Market Court today.
All four, one of them an execu-
tive board member of the reaction
airy controlled Millinery Workers
Local "a of the Cloth Hat, Cap and
Millinery Workers international,
were caught red-handed while they
were beating up the worker because
he had the audacity to criticise the
policy of the union officials in
wrecking the left wing Local 43.
Philip Towers, the victim of the
assault, has been working in the
Arcade Hat Co. When the Zaritsky
machine in the union decided on its
tactic of dissolving the left wing
millinery Local 43, which consists
mainly of young girls, who work at
another craft in the same shop as
tie operators do, they began the
fight by having the boss discharge
ell the Local 43 members who re-
fused to be dissolved.
The dismissals of the girls in the
Arcade shop was answered by q
strike that has been going on sew.

Local "a going so far as to escort
scabs to replace the strikers. Tow.

low men workers in the shop tc
fight against this traitorous policy
of their "leaders" and to help the
strike of the milliners.
Three times he received letters
from the union office demanding
that he appear before the executive
board to take up the question of
his INSTRUMENTATION" when told by
the officials to stop his activities in
the shop. He refused to appear be-
cause he knew he would be assaulted
even in the union office.
Last Wednesday night the gang
of thugs, led by executive board
member Handkerchief, waylaid him
in the hallway of the building he
was working in and assaulted him
viciously.
With dismissals of the bosses who
obey the orders Of the reactionary
union officials still answered by
strikes, which in very many in
stances ended in complete victory
for the milliners, two members of
the Milliners' Local 43 were last
week found guilty of "picketing."

CANADA FIGHTS

Commission to Attack
U. S. Monopoly

TORONTO, Dec. ga royal
commission, headed by Sir John
Arid, the banker, is preparing a re-
port for the next session Of the
Canadian parliament which is ex-
pected to declare war on the United
States Radio Commission, unless
diplomatic and financial pressure is
applied before the report is rem
dered. The Canadian commissions
report will follow the line of maya
zine articles recently written by one
member of it, Charles A. Bowman,
III which he says that the Canadian
government had surrendered TO the
American Radio Commission no au-
thority "to apportion the radio
waves for the North American Con-
tinent."
Polite Too Long.
Hitherto the Dominion radio adj
ministration has refrained from is
suing licenses to Canadian stations to
broadcast on other waves than
those allotted by Washington. 1t is
becoming necessary, however, in the
friendliest manner, but with firm
ness, to impress upon the Washing
ton authorities that Canada's ma
tional broadcasting policy cannot be
circumscribed merely to satisfy the
demands of private broadcasting en-
terprises in the United States. Can
ada has no desire to gravitate into
the orbit of American radio monop-
oily; to maintain Canadian individu-
atty it may be found desirable to
direct Canada's radio policy along
an independent path fundamentally
different from the United States
policy"
Monopoly in U. S.
Whatever monopoly may develop
in the United States is the concern
of the people of the United States.
This Dominicn's business is to see
that Canadian radio independence is
maintained"

By ALAN J. GOULD
 Associated Press Sports Editor)
 NEW YORK, May 4-Charley Paddock will attempt this year to accomplish a feat only one other athlete has ever achieved-win the classic Olympic 10O-meter dash for the second time.
 More than score of years ago Archie Hahn, crack American sprinter and no relation to the present distance running Lloyd Hahn, registered a dual triumph but only two years separated his victories at St. Louis in 1904 and Athens in 1906.
 It was eight years ago that Pad dock leapt into the tape first at Antwerp, a foot ahead of his fel- low Californian, Morris Kirksey. Four years later the stocky blond flier ran no better than fifth in the 100 meters at Paris but he came within an eyelash of beating Jackson Scholz for the 2OO-meter championship in hair-raising duel on the Colombes track.
 Now Paddock is getting in trim for his third Olympic venture. along with his old rival Scholz The life of most sprint aces is short but age has dealt kindly with these two veterans, both counted upon heavily in plans de- signed to bring back to the United States the 100-meter laurels that now belong to England.
 Sprinting supremacy is one of the things Uncle Sam has cherish ed most when it comes to Olympic competition. It was shock, therefore. to Yankee pride when the rangy Harold Abrahams, Cam bridge University star, galloped in ahead of Scholz, Bowman, Pad dock and Murchison at Paris four years ago.
 Now out of competition, Abra- hams will be at Amsterdam only in the role of "non-playing" cap tain of the British track team but America will do well to be pre- pared for some unexpected threat.
 It seems, as the pages of Olym- pic history are reviewed, that some sprinting meteor has usually come from nowhere to harass the  concentrated speed of Uncle Sam's boys. American sprinters have all ways outnumbered their foes but not always outrun them. Such was the case in 1908 when Walker, the South African flash, upset the Yankee favorites in the 100-meter final at London, among them the great Jimmy Rector and Nate Cartmell. intercollegiate champion.

LONDON BRIDE GIVES
 FRIENDS "HAG PARTY"

LONDON, May 4.-Bored Mayfair girls have invented the "hag party" feminine counterpart of the stag party.
 The term was invented by the Honorable Ruby Hard inge, sister of Viscount Hardinge, aide to the Cover nor General of Canada, to describe a gathering of her women friends whom she in- vited to celebrate the pass ing of her "bachelordom" on the eve of her marriage to Major Beaumont Besbitt of the Grenadier Guards.
 The "hag party differed, however, from its masculine equivalent in that the guests were mostly married women.
