men can see eye to eye on such a

Unless something develops to boil

Switzerland, during the 1927 confer

catalogues as a complete flop. The
hubbub according to the well-inform-
ed, has excited nobody but a few
senators. Somehow the citizens in
other sections, remote from Washing
ton, failed to assemble at mass meet
tings and protest the cutlery between
two schools of thought-the big and
little navy lObbies-as national
menace. The appalling Indifference
of the citizens is said to have damp
ened the early indignation of the in
vestigators. Likewise, there is lots
of talk but little action for an inquiry
into the tariff legislation. The politi-
cal leaders in the various Congress
sional districts have whispered words
of warning to their spokesman in
Washington, that an investigation into
Hobbies, especially on the tariff,
means new faces in the Senate and
House at the next elections. The
people who would be subjected to in
vestigation are usually the ones who
contribute each year to the two mai

this was Immediately followed by the
proverbial after-dinner speeches.
Axel Carlson, president of the Pine
County Baseball league, which organi-

POSTMASTER and elected much COM

with his cleverly arranged program.
The first speaker on the program
was Col. Verne Pembleton, manager
of the Moose Lake team. Mr.. Pemble-

and his team derived from the BAN

called upon "his attorney" as the

offered suggestions for more accurate
box scores and for improving the
league in future years.
The next three speakers, A. w. Con-
away, Karl r. Won Schenk, and Attor-
ney Albert Johnson of Sandstone, held
the same position in the after-dinner
conflab as did the testers in the courts
of ancient kings. 1t was Conaway's

General Casimir Pulaski.
Casimir Pulaski was born in Podo-
liza, Poland, March 4, 174S. He be-
came interested in military affairs
before he reached the age of 81 and
served in the guard of Duke Charles
of Courland before he reached the. age
of 20. In 1868 he j6ined his father
in Poland as one of the eight original
associates of the confederation of Bar.
Together they pledged their time, for
tunes and lives toward the redemption
of Poland
Subsequent unfortunate events caus-
ed Pulaski to leave his native land.
He went to Turkey, but when the Sui
tan refused to aid him he removed to
Paris in 1775. 1t was in the French
capital that he made the acquaint-
ance of Benjamin Franklin and it
was through his association with him
that he became interested in the
American struggle for independence
He came to this country in March,
1777, after which he established him.
self as a member of the troops under
George Washington. His herOism and
knowledge of warfare prompted Con-
gress through the recommendation OF
Washington, to make him a brigadieI
general.
During the siege of Savannah, he
rendered distinguished service and it
was here he received the wounds that
Savannah erected a monument in his
honor which was completed in Janu-
AIRY, 1855.

Singapore Naval Base

TOXIC, Nov. 21.--The Japanese
have, by skillful statements of an
onymous naval circles" in the
press, given Britain to understand
that the Singapore naval base now
under construction has Japan's en-
tire approval as base of Anglo
to American Japanese
imperialism in the Far East.
This is done by naval circles"
stating that Japan is not at all
worried" by the Singapore base,
that the Singapore base is no more
than a talking point" that scare
mongers who say that Britain must
lend the Singapore base to the
United States "in case of an Amer
ican-Japanese war" are "merely
specializing" and that the Singa-
pore base has nothing to do with
Japan's naval plans-adding signifi-
oantly that, possibly, if the U. S.
Pearl Harbor base in Hawaii were
abandoned, Japan's ideas might
change"-then with polite irony
"of course no responsible person here
will even discuss such a PROPOSE
tion."

LONDON, Nov. 10. - Herbert
Smith, president of the Miners Fed

reason this labor fakir gives for
his action is that he does not APP

ish coal barons, refused to accede
to the demands of the miners,
Smith was a member of the York

fered the most vigorous opposition
to the federation's vote to accept
the governments proposal. Whether
Herbert Smith resigned in order to
make things easier for his COL

ment,' or whether it was pressure
on the part of the rank and file, is

Marking Anti-British
Acts Show Irritation

SHANGHAI, Nov. 20.-The an
nouncen.ent of G. T. Wang, Marking
foreign minister, that Marking IS
determined to abolish traterri-
.oriality on January l." is taken with
broad humor and the remark that
the Marking government itself is
more likely to be abolished by that
date. Especially are the British
openly scornful.
That Marking influenced by
America) is trying to make repris-
ais against Britain for aid to the
rebellion against Chang Kai-shek,
is shown by the startling attempt
to seize for Markings lootirg, the
cotton mill of the Sansing Company.
situated in the international (actu-
ally British) settlement. The mill
is owned by company incorporated
in Hongkong under British protec-
ton, and has five British and four
Chinese directors.
Markings excuse was that the
property was the estate of Sheng
Kung-pao, wealthy Chinese who
died nine years ago. Marking
resurrects the charge that Sheng
was Il corrupt official under the
Manchu dynasty prior TO 1911,
which is somewhat odd coming from
the present incredibly corrupt Nan
king officials.

negative or defensive position in the
dress industry would be a serious
mistake. 1t would also be wrong to
call upon the unorganized workers
to remain in the shops and to ignore
the I.L.G.W.U. Strike" to the ex-
tent that either of these things have
been carried out the policy has been
incorrect.
The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union must at once develop
strong offensive in the dress sec
ton to establish real unionism and
improve conditions. In this way it
can win the support of the masses
of workers and defeat the anti
working class program Of Schlesing-
er and the bosses. From now on an
aggressive campaign of organiza-
ton, backed by a militant strike
policy must be pushed on the broad
est possible scale. We must not
wait for the date when the fake
LL.G.W.U. "strike" may or may not
be called, but must go ahead inn
mediately with our program Of or
ganization and shop strikes. The
greatest possible number of unor-
ganized workers must be drawn into
this struggle. If and when the IL.
GNU. Strike" takes place the
policy must be, by means of united
front rank and file strike commit
tees, to win over such workers as
may strike or may be locked out
and to unite them against the IL.
GNU. betrayers and the bosses
and for a real struggle under the
banner of the N.T,W,I.U. and for
it's demands.
All the available forces, not only
of the N.T.W.I.U. but of the whole
revolutionary movement, should be
mobilized in support of the struggle
in the dress section of the needle
industry. The bosses and their tools,
the Schlesinger machine, are out to
destroy real unionism among the
needle workers, the N.T,W.LU., and
to reduce these workers to helpless
ness. They hope to accomplish this
by their fake general 'strike."
The situation is a critical one,
Now is the time for the N.T,W.LU.
to come forward as the real leader
of the needle workers. The neferi-
Gus plans of the bosses and the A.
F. of A. leaders can be thoroughly
defeated only by the development,
under the leadership of the N.T.W.
III. of a real movement of organiza-
ton and shop strikes. 1t is situa-
ton imperatively demanding the ut
most initiative and aggressive action
on the part of the revolutionary
union. The MT VIII. must lead
the fight of the dressmakers.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 81, -
There is no support for the state
ment that the basic industries of the
country are sound in the recent
freight car loading report of the
pennsylvania Railroad.
Freight loadings on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, for the week ended
November 16 dropped nearly 10000
cars.
For nearly the entire year there
has been a steady drop in the num-
Der of cars loaded with commodities
on this road.
During 1929 the Pennsylvania
railroad showed a loss of 1898
cars loaded under last year.
