Launch Effort to Line
South For Georgia
Candidate

WASHINGTON. May 12.-tP-A
campaign to swing uninstructed
delegates TO the Houston convention
to the support Of Senator George of
G~eorgia. who has the support Of his
states delegation for the democratic
presidential nomination, was mapped
out today by Georgia members Of
the house Of representatives.
At a conference, they decided to
bring Georges qualifications force
fully to the attention of convention
delegates, but To confine their eff
forts in zhis respect chiefly to
southern states. AS a part of their
plan to arouse sentiment for their
fellow Georgian they intend to en-
ter into correspondence with va
rious delegates who will 20 into the
convention uninstructed.
Representative Bell. one OF those
who attended the conference, said 1t
was not proposed TO conduct a cam
paign in opposition to anyone, but
rather one in Georges behalf. No
effort, he said, would be made TO gain
strength for the senator in North
Carolina. where Representative Hull,
of Tennessee, who already has an
instructed delegation of q from his
home state, is standing as a can
didate.
Among the states where it was
indicated activity would be notice
able in Senator Georges behalf are
Alabama, Mississippi, Texas. Flor
ida, South Carolina, Virginia, Ar
kansas and kentucky.
Although there was no definite evil
dence that the move had as one OF
its purposes a check on the Smith
presidential boom, there have been
indications that some of the New
York governors political foes were
planning a foray against him with
a view to building up a block OF
delegates sufficient in size TO head
off his nomination.
From the Reed camp today came
the statement, by Ed s. Villmoare,
the Missouri senator's %pre-conven-
ton campaign treasurer, that more
than enough convention votes were
IN sight to stop" Smith.

They crush our strikes, they arrest

FOR JULY list
Indications Point to
Huge Success

One of the greatest proletarian
outings ever held in New York will
take place Saturday, July 81, in
Pleasant Bay Park, under the aus
pices of the New York Section of
the International Labor Defense.
Starting at noon, there will be
continuous program of unusual va
riety that will last until late at
night. This will include athletic
events of all kinds, games, open air
dancing to the music of a first-class
jazz band, torchlight parade and
refreshments.
The two chief features will be
the mass scene, symbolizing the
fight to free class-war prisoners, in
which large number of workers
will participate, and the taking of
moving pictures of the outing. All
hose who are present at the out
ing will thus be able to see them
selves on the screen a few days
later.
Though all the details of the pro-
gram are not yet complete, the l..
L. D. outing this year promises, ac-
cording to present indications, to
far surpass all previous events of
its kind.

policy for the adherents of the r. l.
L. u. in the United States, about
which there is considerable contro-
versy. The yellow socialist press
and the l. w. W. have interpreted
this decision to place the emphasis
in the present situation upon the or
ganization of the unorganized and
the building of new unions as a
movement on the part of the COM
munists and left wing to desert the
reactionary unions and to stop "bor-
ing from within"
This Interpretation has been re-
pudiated by the T. U. E. L. There
still remains considerable confusion
as to the real policy adopted at the
congress for work in the American
trade unions, for building up new
unions of the unorganized workers.

Benjamin Gitlow, vice-presidential
candidate on the Workers (Commu-

There will be additional reports
from other members of the delega-
ton on the various industrial con-
ferences held, such as marine trans

PURCHASE GRAIN
Harvest Prospects Now
Greatly Improved
By EUGENE LYONS

United Press Staff Correspondent
MOSCOW, July 10 (UP). The
Soviet regime is forming one of the
worlds largest grain purchasing
and distributing organizations in an
effort to prevent a repetition of the
1927 difficulties in collecting grain.
Meanwhile, the harvest prospects
appear to have improved and the
peasants are selling more readily.
Total collections to June amounted
to 355,000 tons, compared with 281,-
600 in May and 10000 in June,
1927.
Bread supplies in Moscow have
noticeably increased.
All grain trading groups are be-
int merged into a giant bread
trust" with a basic capital of 300,-
100000 rubles.
Vice chairman Kapelinsky of the
trust declared he will operate 40
large mills and 80 elevators.
The formal opening of grain COL
lections July / was not suspicious
and it was reported that the Ukraine
and other sections were rationing
bread, in some instances rather
strictly. Flour is rationed through
out the nation.
In connection with the campaign
to increase the winter wheat sowing,
authorities were forced to admit
that the crop was seriously short
and for this reason the government
was preparing to distribute 18,000,-
600 pounds of staple winter seeds
and is arranging huge credits for
farm machinery.

LABOR DEFENSE SCORES
TERRORISM OF FASCLSTS

Commenting on tn additional in
formation concerning the Mussolini
terror that has been, received
through underground channels at
Zurich, the New York section of
the International Labor Defense, in
statement issued last night, calls
on all class-conscious workers to
continue their fight against Italian
fascism and to demand the imme-
date release of all class-war pri-
soners in Italy. The statement
signed by Rose Baron, secretary of
the section, follows:
"Mussolini's hangmen never go
unrewarded. News has been re-
ceived at Zurich through under
ground channels that Judge Alder
TIM, the judge of appeals who
hushed up the Matteoti trial, has
now been made director general of
the Italian prisons. We all know
what this means. The Judge who
helped murder Matteoti has now
been promoted to torturer-in-chief
of Italian fascism.
"This is thoroughly consistent
with all the other news concerning
the fascist terror that has leaked
out of Italy despite the rigid CEN
sorship. The murder of Matteoti
and Sozzi were not isolated in
stances. Hundreds of others have
been similarly murdered for no
other crime than opposition to the
bloody fascist regime. No one knows
how many of the class-war prison
ers of Italy are still alive. The
recent trial of members of the Ital
ian Communist Party condemned IS
of them to prison terms aggregat-
ing 1888 years. How long will Mus
solini, drunk with the blood of
thousands of Italian workers and
peasants, permit these leaders of

ALLISON, FREED,
GREETED BY RED
INTERNATIONAL
Lately Released From
Indian Jail

LONDON, July 10.-A Losovsky,
general secretary Of the Red In
ternational of Trade Unions, re-
Gently greeted George Allison, a
member of the executive bureau of
the International, upon his release
from prison after his activity in or
ganizing the Indian Trade Unions
The message, which was sent to
him after thousands of militant
English workers had received him
back into their ranks, follows:
"The Executive Bureau of the Red
international of Trade Unions sends
you hearty greetings and expresses
its conviction that your stay in an
Indian prison has not undermined
our militant spirit and not only has
not weakened but on the contrary.
has strengthened your will to strug-
gle for the independence of India
and the establishment of fraternal
connections between the proletariat
of India and the revolutionary la
Dor movement of the whole world. ;"
The telegram was signed with
hearty greetings, A. Losovsky, gen
eral secretary, Red International of
Trade Unions"
Allison went to India in 1926 to
further cement and connect the pro-
letariat of India with that of Eng
land. He began to work in the In
dian trade unions. This was i'm
mediately noted with dissastisfac-
ton by the British imperialist gov
eminent, the Indian bourgeoisie, and
the reactionary leaders of the trade
unions, controlled by the British
business interests.
After a series of frame-ups, he
was sent up for trial" and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for a period
of eighteen months. After he was
freed, recently, the police bought a
ticket for him under the name of
Smith, and deported him from In
dia.
Allison arrived in London. where
he was warmly greeted by the mill
tant workers of London, who recog-
nized the significance of strong
united front of the English and In
dian proletariat. 1t was here that
he received his message from the
Red International of Trade Unions
praising him for his proven courage
and expressing its faith in his flu
ture activities for the emancipation
of the Indian and English workers,
