PARIS, April ia final attempt

conference, and Thomas w. Lamont,

The assembling of these delegates
was accomplished with the greatest
secrecy, many of the delegates from
minor powers not being aware of
the meeting.
The sudden secret conference of
the experts followed an apparent
change in DR.. Schacht's attitude
which many believed was due to in
structions from his social democratic
government. Whereas on Thursday
evening the German delegates at a
press conference insisted that their
offer was final, Schacht said today:

CABINET SLAPS
DEbENTURE Plan
BULLETIN

WASHINGTON, April 49,
President Hoover today announced
to the press that no farm bill
would be approved unless it fol-
lowed the line of the Republican
party plank in the last campaign.
This is taken as blow at deben-
lures. He attempted to shift the
blame for lack of farm relief to
the farmers, saying divisions
among them were the cause of
delay.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Three
of President Hoover's cabinet Of
ficers dispatched to the senate agri-
cultural committee a series of re-
ports deprecating the "debenture"
plan which the senate farm bloc in
tended to adopt.
Despite the reports, farm bloc
members said they intended to leave
the debenture scheme in the farm
bill when it is reported to the SEN
ate.. They admit, however, the re-
PORTS can be used effectively against
them when the bill gets to the sem
ate floor next week.
Their decision to retain the plan
will mean that the matter will come
out in the open on the senate floor.
The house bill, as it stands, is with
cut hope for the farmers, and is so
reactionary it will hardly fool many
of them. Some of its advocates think
debentures would make it seem more
reasonable. They would reduce
tariffs, and there is fight over
this.

tile Workers Union and the
Workers. International Relief
early yesterday morning. The
picketing was directed from the
temporary union office, located in
the already re-established W. I. R.
relief station.
Thousands of workers about the
area are discussing angrily the at
tack on the strike and relief head
quarters. The strikers of South
Carolina have sent word that they
will help in any way possible. The
strikers in Gastonia and other
towns are joining the union in
throngs.
Not Inundated.
If the deputies and militia who
arrested and carried off to Jail the
relief director and 13 strikers found
at the headquarters thought that
would intimidate the strikers, the
picket line and the growing ranks
of the union are their answer.
If the strikebreaking strategists
of the Manville Jenckes company
who litter the streets with handbills
saying to the workers, you'll
starve, there is no relief!' felt that
destruction of the supplies in the
store would convince the strikers,
they can come down now and look
at the new store, shelves straight
ened out, and new supply of food
laid on them, food distribution to
striking mill hands going on as
usual.
Relief Directors Story.
Amy Schechter, director of relief
here for the Workers International
Relief, describes the incidents of
as follows:
"a hundred and fifty men raided
the union office and the relief store
yesterday morning and wrecked the
whole building in which the strike
headquarters were loo I'd with
axes, crowbars and hammers. These
tools were later found in the woods.
and identified as company property.
I'm spite of gun firing, no deputy
or guardsman appeared to stop the
looting and destruction until the
attack was over. The gangsters
raided the store, wrecking windows
and throwing flour, cornmeal, lard,
potatoes, milk for babies into the
street. They drew a gun on the
single guard before he was able to
reach his own gun, ordering him to
stick up your hands or we'll kill
you!
'You Won't Need 6 oes."
"When our guard stopped to put
on his shoes, the thugs stopped him,
saying, You won't need any shoes
after a, little while
when the national guards ap-
peared, the gangsters left their
prisoners to them, including the w.
|. r. guard and ten strikers who
were there. Collusion between the
gangsters and the troops is obvious.
The militia took the strikers to Jail.

PEACE PLANS
Imperialist Delegates
Plan to Shelve
Proposals
Pres. Louden to Resign
Find Litvinoff's Three
Points Too Painful

GENEVA, Switzerland, April 10.
The imperialist delegates to the
preparatory disarmament commits
sion succeeded again today in avad-
ing any definite vote on the Soviet
disarmament proposals, but the
powers are alarmed to such an ex-
tent by the happenings here that it
is understood the Soviet plan is to
be declared definitely outside the
scope of the conference, while
President Louden, who permitted
the Soviet delegates to bring their
issues squarely before the meeting,
is to resign.
The decision of the commission to
wait until its bureau advised it
whether the scope of the commits
sion's program and its delegates in
structions permit it to consider the
three Soviet points, enabled the
delegates to save their face another
day.
Points of Soviet Plan.
The three points, as presented by
Acting Peoples Commissar for For
eign Affairs Litvinoff, are;
81. To base its draft convention
upon the principle of an appreciable
reduction in the existing armed
forces.
'2. To embody in the draft con-
vention methods of reducing arma-
ments based upon proportional prin-
ciples or similar impartial criter-
ion to be applied equally to all
states, with certain deviations in
favor of smaller and insufficiently
protected states only.
"3. To include in the draft con-
vention numerical coefficients for
the reduction of ornaments"
Only Italian Delegate Replies.
The Italian delegate alone chose
to answer directly on the three
Soviet points today, and answering
yes on the question of willingness to
reduce armament to the lowest fig
ure given. Certainly the fascists
are not motivated by any liking for
the Soviet proposals and it is sup
posed that they desired to make the
attitude of the French inn
perialists, their rivals in North
Africa, all the more apparent by
this vote.
The effect of the Italian vote was
to bring out even more strongly the
hostile attitude of all the other
powers.

to his flight from New York. Be-
cause the ring he was operating
seemed to have unusual connections
with Federal Judge Winslow, public
scandal forced an investigation by
congress and a New York grand
jury of Winslow also.
Winslow resigned before the con-
gressional committee began it's
work. The grand jury stopped its
probe on the excuse that it did not
want to conflict with the congress
sional committee. The congressional
committee stopped it's investigation
because Winslow resigned"

Unskilled Workers.

Unskilled Workers.
The Negro workers are employed
for the most part in manual labor
of the most unskilled type. Out of
total of 1,762 cases reported by
the Urban League, it was found that
589 were employed as porters, 403
as laborers, 202 as elevator opera
tors, and the other groups, of which
the largest is 60, are scattered thru
various trades, more or less skilled.
This survey was carried out in West
Harlem, where the tenements are of
a little better type than on the east
side. If all of Harlem were taken
into consideration, it is probable
that the largest group would be
laborers and longshoremen.
Among the workers reported by
the Urban League, ranging from
such low-paid categories as laborers
to post office employees and clerks
and including the large group of
porters whose tips make up the
greatest part of their wages, the
average wage was found to be
$24.32. The average wage is prob
ably closer to $40 per week if the
wide mass of Negro workers in Har-
lem are take into account.
This includes only those workers
who work. Laborers do not find
steady employment and are subject
to the wiles &C wee e,,.er and build
ing booms. Longshoremen must
rustic for a job every day. Although
we do not know the number of un-
employed workers in Harlem, we can
safely say that the number is large,
and that the percentage of unem-
ployment is greater than in any
other racial group.
