method of mediation" is but a way
of making official the actual terms
of the bosses.
How Mediation" Works.
Under the Watson-P Parker Law,
set up by the railroads for the pur-
pose of thwarting strikes, the work
ers are prevented from acting for
thirty days, during which time, even
should the officials of the unions
call strike, the railroads are en-
abled to prepare their strikebreak-
ing forces against the men.
The unions involved in the pres
ent dispute are the Brotherhood of
Railroad Conductors and the Order
Of Railway Conductors. Demands
for increases have been pending for
over a year, during which through
the machinery of the mediation law,
action has been stalled off from
conference to conference, a proce-
dure in which the officials of the
unions are known to have taken part
with apparent enjoyment. About
three months ago a strike vote was
finally forced by the men. Seventy
thousand voted almost unanimously
to go out should their demands be
rejected. The calling of the emer-
gency board by Coolidge followed.
Nominal Increase and Speed-up.
In the present decision the alter
native recommendation of a 7hTo
increase involves change in oper-
ating rules in connection with the
operation of double-headers on
freight trains and the elimination of
the present rule limiting the ton
mage of freight on a single train.
In other words a speed-up is offered
as an alternative to a nominal wage
increase.
eve have not given serious atten-
ton to the specific demands of the
conductors and trainmen for in
creases amounting to from Is to
27To," the decision brazenly admits.
It is generally believed that the
union officials will now attempt to
crawl out of the strike situation and
that only an insistent demand by
the men can force action.

NICE France


Since the last legislative elections
which brought the national bloc to
power, fascism, gradually but WIS.,
ually, is substituting bourgeois demo-
cracy in France. 1t is being intro
duced so Systematically and with
such tact that it cannot be COM
batted with the same vigor and the
same facility as in a country where
it appears as minority party
standing outside and against the ac-
4 tual regime.
The French type of fascism is
characterized by the fact that it
springs directly out of democratic
governing body, elected according to
purely bourgeois democratic
methods. This type of fascism is
distinguished from all other types
hitherto exposed by the European
bourgeoisie, by the fact that it does
not have recourse to special coup
d'etat, nor to preliminary armed
battles of particular fascist organi-
cations with the revolutionary work
ers. On the contrary, since Poin-
care is in power, or rather, since his
ministry took fascist attitude, the
existing fascist organizations like
the Jounesses Patriotiques, led by
Taithinger, the one led by Millerand,
the royalists, the Faisceaux, etc.,
have disappeared from the active
political battlefield. Have they been
assured by the present government?
Have they been pacified by the
promise that fascism will be insti-
tuted by legal means? Can it be ex-
planned otherwise when all fascist
organizations have suspended their
material activity?
Pact with Fascists.
1t is as evident as day that the
Poincare ministry has concluded a
compromise with the different fas-
cist organizations, promising to in
stall fascism with the aid of all the
forces at the disposal Of the state,
and that only in case the revolu-
tionary proletariat presents a seri-
Gus resistance, should the fascist or
CARNATIONS take part in the fray.
They constitute, in brief, the reserve
or emergency troops of the demo-
cratic-fascist government.

bitrary and illegal intervention at

POLICE CHARGE
WORKERS.; Wire
FENCES PUT UP
Complete Freedom for
India Demanded

CALCUTTA, India, Oct. 30.-A
number of workers and students
were seriously injured at Lahore
today when police charged several
thousand demonstrators protesting
against British rule in India on the
occasion of the arrival of Sir John
Simon and his commission.
The railroad station at Lahore
was guarded by armed police behind
barbed-wire when the Somin Commits
sion arrived today on it's tour. Thou
sands of demonstrators carrying
black flags as a symbol of British
suppression and banners with slo-
gans calling for the return of the
Commission and complete independ-
ence for India approached the sta
ton, but before they had even
reached the barbed-wire fence, the
armed police charged them. A gen.
eral fight followed, but the numbers
of injured are not known.
All railroad stations along the
route being covered by the Commits
sions are heavily protected and
special guards are stationed over
every inch of ground covered by
Simon. The stations from Poena to
Lahore are all protected by barbed-
wire entanglements.
The Simon Commission, sent by
the British Government to attempt
to form compromise with the lib
eral groups in the India parliament
on the question of independence, is
now on its second visit So great
was the protest of the India masses
during their visit last year that they
were forced to withdraw for fear of
serious uprising. They do not seem
to be more successful this year and
from the very first day of their ar
rival they have been met with storms
of protest and huge threatening
demonstrations, although demonstra-
tons were forbidden.
While the upper house of the par
lament, made up mostly of native
princes and corresponding to the
British house of lords, had pledged
cooperation with the commission, the
lower house, although elected in an
indirect way, had refused to CO.
operate in any form whatsoever.

TRAITORS INSIST

AGAINST SANDING
Both Candidates Want
Marines to Stay

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Com-
plete submission to the United
States government, no matter
whether conservatives or liberals are
put into power, and continued adj
herence to Washington after the
elections on Sunday, was assured
today by Don Alexandra Cesar,
Nicaraguan minister to the United
States.
He declared that his government
would welcome the continued pres
ence of the American forces, and
he hoped that they would create a
powerful national guard and remain
at least until the next elections in
1882.
Reports to the effect that Amer
lean marines will continue to be
stationed in Nicaragua following
the presidential elections on Novem-
Der A have been received by the
Nicaraguan government with feel
ings of deep satisfaction, Minister
Cesar said. at will be recalled that
both General Jose Moncada, the lib
eral candidate, and DIR. Adolfo Ben
ard, the conservative candidate,
have expressed through an inter
change of correspondence their de-
sire that the United States govern
ment should supervise the national
elections in 1882"
1t seems to many that both polit-
ical groups are extremely anxious
to have the protection of the United
States military against the popular
sentiment for SANDING and his strug-
gle against American domination.

publican candidate for president,
seemed assured today on the basis
of incomplete returns from Sun

DR.. Colindres was opposed by
General Tibrucio Carias, conserva-
tive-nationalist. DIR. Carias over
threw the Lopez Gutierrez dictator
ship after Carias had failed to win
the election in 1923. He was barred
as a candidate by the United States

by DR.. Miguel Paz Baraona.

30.-Beh:nd the elections and the
pending border dispute between
Honduras and Guatemala is the
United Fruit Company, an Amer
lean concern, which has most of its
holdings in Honduras, although
many of its plantations are spread
throughout Central America.
It is reported that General Thru
clio Carias, conservative candidate,
is being backed by the fruit com
pany, and many conservatives claim
that they will win the elections de-
spite returns thus far. The prov
ince administrations as well as the
central government is now in the
hands of the conservatives, which
initiates considerably against any
other party trying to gain power.
Thus far the returns indicate that
90 per cent of the electoral districts
have been won by the liberal can
didates.

Hoover, the imperialist, knows his
game. He will do all in his power
to continue Coolidge'sN program of
forceful intervention in other coun-s
tries of Latin America as he did
in Nicaragua. Hoover, the iron heel
of imperialism, will execute the pro-i
gram of more colonial oppression by
American imperialism. He will exe-r

Despite the fact that Paris and New York offer great variety of stage dancers specializing in esthetic and interpretive work, and a generally increasing interest in this mode of ex- prsssion for entertainment purposes, the younger set of Berlin have long been in- terssted in the development of dancing along modernistic lines, and before the Temple" was built there were many largs classes devoted to this subject.

It is the custom of mixed bathing tn sx- tremely scanty costumes. Many from other lands profess to be extremely shocked at this costum, yet 1t is chan pioned by some of the lsadsrs of German Thought. Thus esthetic dancing will, at least, find fewer barriers in Germany than anywhere else, experts point out, and those interested in "Ths Temple of the Dance" may be free to develop such mediums of self-expression as thsy sss fit, without the fear of esnsorship, whether official or by tho people of the country.
