Working Women Expose
Peace Pact and Racltlsts
By JULIET STUART POYNTZ.
Especial to the Daily Worker)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. - For
expressing the only protest raised
in Washington to the imperialist
pact of Kellogg and challenging it
at the conference of pacifist women
when it was ratified, representatives
of working women's organizations
were elected from the conference to-
day.
The ratification of the pact by a
vote of S5 to l in the Senate was
accompanied by a chorus of pacifist
sentimentality, with the women's
conference to investigate the cause
and cure of war singing soprano to
conceal the designs Of the imperial
lists. The ratification of the pact
yesterday was simultaneous with
the attempts of the bourgeois wom-
ems peace conference to whitewash
its imperialist background.
The only voice raised in Wash
ington against the pact was raised
by working women's organizations,
which organized a counter-demon-
stration against the pact and the
pacifists. Representatives from var
ious cities and organizations took
part in the demonstration. Among
the unions represented were the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union, the National Textile Work
ers' Union, the Millinery Union,
Knit Goods and others.
Women represented the Workers
(Communist) Party, working
women's organizations of New York.
Chicago, New England Working
Women's Federations, United Coun-
Gil of Working Women, the Finnish
and Lithuanian Federations of
Working Women, the Mothers
Leagues of New England and the
Hungarian Workers Club.
Picketing demonstrations were
held before the senate building
against the pact and against the
pacifists who came to beg the sena-
tors to pass the pact. The demon
stration was very successful and
news of it was broadcasted over the
country.
At the evening meeting of the
women's conference to investigate
the cause and cure of war the work.
ing women's representatives were
thrown out when they tried
counter-demonstrstion. A strong
armed squad met them at the door
and elected especially the representa-
tives Of the New York Working
Women's Federations and of the
Anti-Imperialist League who dis
rupted the conference last night.

the outcome of "love affair" in
volving Tina Modotti, an Italian
that late yesterday the police
girl, who was with Mella when he
was shot down on the street by
agents of the Machado government
of Cuba.
This yarn Of a supposed "rival
lover" in which nobody believed, but
which was used as an excuse by
the police to cover up the flight of
the real assassins, is now put in the
discard.
Spies and Assassins In New York.
The Society of Cuban Revolution
sry Refugees, of which Mella was
the organizer and head in Mexico,
announces that Cuban workers
abroad are in hourly danger of as
sassination as Mella was assassin
ated.
In New York City, refugees from
the Cuban fascist terror are being
followed day and night by Cuban
police agents of the same type that
murdered Mella here.
In Paris, also.
The secretary of the section of
this organization in Colombia, Jorge
Vivo, who was imprisoned there at
the time of the strike of banana
workers against the United Fruit
Company, has disappeared. Secre-
taries Of the society in Madrid and
San Jose, Costa Rica, also report
Machado's agents busy there, and in
all centers agents provocateur, such
as the Cuban immigrant here, Jose
Magrinat, who tried to involve Tina
Modotti in his statements to the po-
lice, are insinuated in immigrant or
ganizations.

CALL BUILDING
TRADE TO FIGHT
Anti -Broach Electrical
Workers Hit Treachery

Demand and take the five day
week with an increase in pay and
we will help you to the limit of our
ability" is the word of the progress
sive group in the electrical workers
union to the other building trades
workers.
The progressive electricians have
been fighting the reactionary, dis
unity policies of the Broach gang in
their union for a long time. They
recognize fully that Broach's nego-
tiation Of a separate peace with the
employers is partly for the purpose
of splitting the strategically we'll
placed and powerful electricians
union away from the other unions,
and making it more difficult for the
other unionists to obtain common
demands for a general five day
week and increases in wages.
The progressives point to John
Halkett, president of the Building
Trades Council, as playing into the
hands of Broach and the contrac-
tors, by widening and deepening the
split between the unions, by threat
ening to have the electricians ex-
PEELED from the Building Trades
Council and by delaying the regular
negotiations with the employers as
sociation as long as possible, and
even agreeing to postpone the five
day week with increase in pay for
another year.
The progressives point out that
the workers in other unions must
help defeat these splitting tactics
by fighting for the five day week

Law Of Heredity
Now Being Tested
On Science Lines
Research al Federal Agri-
cultural Farm May Solve
Blue-Eye Problem.

BELTSVILLE, Md. GA law of
heredity that explains why parents Of a
brown-eyed child both may have blue
eyes is being tested for practical values
by a scientist Of the Department Of
Agriculture.
Gregor Mendel, a monk, based the law
that bears his name on eight years Of
experimentation with garden peas; DR..
Morley A. JUL, Federal poultry husband
man, is carrying on research in the ami
NAL kingdom with chickens.
A completed portion of the project
proves the validity of the fundamental
principles observed by Mendel, that in
cross breeding there are certain charac-
tiers which are dominant and others re-
ceSsive.
DR.. JUL demonstrated the mechanism
Of the law by crossing white and black
bantamS. ALI of the first generation
were black, but when mated among
themselves, one-quarter of the second
generation were white.
White is the recesSive character which
will not appear If the individual carried
also the dominant gene for black. The
white bantams. mated among them
selves, produced no black offSprings; two
out Of three blacks were carriers of
white, while one was pure.
The remaining portion Of the project,
which amounts to q quest for super
breeds" must progress for several years
before results will be evident, DR.. JUL
said.
His main plan is to determine the
inheritance of egg production, white
LeghornS and Rhode Island Reds hav-
ing been crossed for five years. There
are three allied Studies-of size IN eggs,
OF shape in eggs and of size in body
weight.
Bantams and barred Plymouth Rocks
have been crossed for new facts on body
size; white Leghorns and silver pencil
Plymouth Rocks are mated in the study
OF egg shape. and barred Plymouth
Rocks and white Leghorns are crossed
in research on egg size.
