Competing Barge Lines

WASHINGTON, (FP) April s.
Complaining that government opera

sippi and Warrior rivers is not econ
omically sound, DR.. C. S. Duncan,
economist for the Association of Rail
way Executives, testified before the
House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. The bill under
discussion was the Denison measure
to increase by $10,OOO,O00 the capt
talization of the Inland Waterways
Corporation, the government opera
ting concern, and to appropriate S10,-
100000 for the corporations use. The
Denison bill contains a joker permit
ting the administration to lease or
sell the barge lines at any time. The
railroads running parallel to the
rivers are waiting their chance to
! buy and discard the barge service.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, April 8.-The
conferences between the employers

president of the Amalgamated Cloth

Friday night are to be resumed to-
day, it was learned. They are to
continue till an agreement is reached,
which it is said will lie some time
next Friday.
The officialdom of the Amalga-

offensive against the employers to
back up their demands at the confer

levelled at the right wing administra-

Comrade Sobol in Levoscha lay I'M

collapse as a result Of such maltreat-

bear witness to these acts of bestial-
;ty Comrade Petenyi in Kaschau may
be mentioned. His case was made a
subject of question in parliament
by the Communist Deputies Club, to
which Minister of Justice Mayr- Hart
ing resolved to reply briefly and super
ficially only after I had read Pc
tenyi's protocol in parliament and the
Red Aid lad called public attention

Latin American Leader

PARIS, (By MaiD-The recent

a farce by Manuel Ugarte, well-knowr
Latin American publicist in an ar
ticle in L'Europe Nouvelle of Paris.
"The first thing that surprises US
at the conference" Ugarte says, "is
the assurance with which certain dele
gates from Latin America took their
parts. However, they represented,
in most cases, States completely sub
jected to the United States, finan-

assembly, receiving false basis in

BERLIN, April 8.-Two hundred
thousand metal workers in Saxony

the $4,000 workers who have gone

The struggle in the metal trades is
only one of the huge labor struggles
which are now going on in Germany.
With wage agreements expiring on

ments are under way in many of the
basic industries.
Particularly serious struggle looms

on. account of its doubtful justifica-

You quite correctly understood that
in raising talk about the degeneration
of the old cadres and in opposing
young members to old, Trotsky mani
Tested his lack of faith in the his

course Of building up another Party,
thus breaking with the traditions Of
Bolshevism and departing from its
theology.

"Djerjinsky was correct when he
pointed out to me the necessity of
fighting Trotsky to the end because
in his struggle against the Party
Trotsky was effectively becoming this
organizational center of he petty
bourgeois forces of reaction.

Il am convinced that Lenin would
be entirely with the Central Commit
tee in its struggle against the OPP
position, but would have dealt more
quickly with the matter"
Antnov Ovseenko points out that he
was incorrectly considered an old fol-
lower of Trotsky's, that already il
1915 when he had worked with the
Trotsky paper, "Our Word" published
in Paris, he had formed within the
editorial staff special group that
entirely shared Lenin's views and
that when in 1917 he had come to
Petrograd from abroad he had for
mally Joined the Bolshevik Party,
separating himself from Trotsky.
Krestinsky Announces Break.
"Krestinsky in the course of his let
ter writes:
"My correspondence with Trotsky
regarding the Opposition bears a
unilateral character since only my
letters have been announced. The only
interest which my letters present is
the reflection of my critical attitude
toward the Opposition tactics at dii-
farent moments of the inner Party

miners the necessary guidance and
leadership in their desperate uphill
battle. The DAILY WORKER is I'M
