Navy CUT TALK
League Meet on War
Materials Breaks Up

WASHINGTON, March 14-Sec-
retary OF State Kellogg today threw
cold water on fervent hopes of the
pacifists that a naval disarmament
agreement would result from the
Arms Limitations Preparatory Con-
ference, which meets in April in
Geneva.
The hopes were based on rumor
that the United States, France and
England were holding unofficial
conferences to arrive at a common
agreement before the conference.
U. S. Empire Stands Pat.
Kellogg said that this was not
so, and that any proposals of limi-
tations must come first from Eng
land or France, also that when they
did they would be passed on to
Huge s. Gibson, U. S. ambassador
to Belgium and now practically a
professional head of U. S. delega-
tions to arms conferences.
John w. Davis, former ambassa-
dor to England, proposes in an ar
ticle in the coming Foreign Affairs,
that England give up her claimed
right to seizure and search of ships,
when she is engaged in "private
war;" i. e., not one to enforce an
order of the League. But England
is pretty strong in the League, and
will probably get its consent for
most Of her wars.
GENEVA, March ID (UP).-The
latest efforts of the League of Ma
tions to control private and COM
rdercial production of war material,
failed yesterday when the commits
sion of experts under Count Won
Bernstorff of Germany adjourned

Call Local 80 Members
to Stay Away from the
Fake Elections Today

Three of the oldest members of
the Ladies' Tailors' Union, Local 3S,
of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers. Union, chosen as a
committee by the huge protest
meeting of the membership Wednes-
day night, to demand an honest cleo
tion from the right wing executive
board of the union, were told 1--WE
will do as we damn please" AS a
result, all progressive members of
the union are called upon by the
Progressive Group in that organ
ization to stay away from the polls
and refuse to participate in fake
election, to be held today.
B. Chazanow, M. Goodman and
N. Abramowitz, whose union men,
bership books carry the oldest num-
bers, being Ledger No. 1, 2 and
1876 respectively, were the commit
tee chosen by the protest meeting
which crowded large Bryant Hall.
The demands they had made of
the right wing gang styling itself
"the executive board" were that the
20 members who ran on the progress
sive ticket, and who were removed
from the ballot because they ex-
pressed sympathy with the dress
strikers, be put on again by the
bureaucrats in control. The refusal
Of this demand was the signal for
the call to sabotage the election.

.BASLE WORKERS

Meet Called Illegal
(Wneless By "Inprecorr")


BASLE, Switzerland, March 14.-
The Swiss Federal Council. which
recently prohibited the anti-fascist
meeting in Tessin because of "dan-
ger to public order and damage to
ltalian-Swiss diplomatic relations" ("
has now, over the heads of the To-
cal authorities in Basle, prohibited
the meeting here against fascism.
The workers are determined to
hold the meeting in spite of the pro-
hibition. The social democratic
press is sabotaging it and objec-
lively supporting fascism.
Fascists Wanted 1t.
When it was first proposed to
hold anti-fascist meetings in Basle,
the bourgeois and fascist press be-
gan campaign for the city to pro-
hibit it, However, the Basle au-
thorities decided there was no legal
basis for the prohibition of the
meeting.
The Swiss federal council then
disregarded the Basle authorities
and declared that the Basle meeting
would also endanger public order
and international relationships, ETC.,
and could not be held. The revolu-
tionary workers organizations have
decided to defend with all necessary
means their constitutional right to
hold meetings.

NO A. FL, FIGHT
TO AID J0BLEsS
Green Will Merely Ask
u. S. to Do Something

President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor told
capitalists and others at the Bond
Club luncheon yesterday that the
American Federation of Labor
would "ask the U. S. government
to formulate plan for giving a
living to the workers displaced by
machinery, until they can care for
themselves.
Green himself did not intimate
what the plan could be, nor what
pressure the A. F. Of L. under his
direction would bring to have it
either made or carried out.
Those present at the luncheon got
the impression that altho Green is
familiar enough with the effects of
continued introduction of newer
types of machinery into mining,
textiles, water and land transporta-
tion, and indeed all branches of in
dustry, concerning which he even
cited some of the more recent catas-
trophies to workers, such as the dis
placement of 5000 musicians within
the last year by talking movies, he
regarded the situation as one for
some kind of polite charity, rather
than for strenuous fight by labor
to save itself from defamation.
For Bigger Charity.

concern, Dan Palter Company, ISL
w. Goth St., which has fought with
great vigor, but in vain, all attempts
of the Independent Shoe Workers

yesterday compelled to enter into
negotiations with union represen-
tative for settlement Of the strike.

militant picketing tactics before the
entire factory crew of over $50
workers were all able to quit work
and join the strike seeking the union
ization of the shop.
AS result of The first conference
held with the employers, some of
the workers demands were conceded,
which were brought to them for
consideration. The workers, how
ever, insisted on all of their de-
mands, which include completely
closed shop, a wage increase, aboli-
ton Of vicious fines system, etc.
Boss Lonely for Profits.
Three days of a 100 per cent
strike by the 1876 workers in the
Goldstein Shoe Company were neces-
sary before the employer here was
overwhelmed by his desire to resume
the manufacture of shoes. He, too,
was willing to confer and will have
to come through with wage grants
before settlement can be had.
The newest shop to be called out
on strike in the successful organiza-
tion drive the union is conducting is
the Colonial Shoe Company of
Brooklyn. Here over 100 workers
walked out and Joined the union.
Picketing was begun Immediately.

1avmany Police Use Clubs
and Guns on Negro Roytexs

Tammany city detectives made a
brutal assault with clubs, black
jacks, iron knuckles and guns on
Negro porters- working as red
caps" in the Grand Central station
yesterday, and, after searching their
persons and lockers, beating them
up and threatening to shoot their
friends, arrested four of them.
The dicks raided the porters' room
on the lower level, on the suspicion
that gambling in policy slips went
on there. When they arrived and
saw no gambling going on they in
sisted on searching the rooms and
lockers to which the porters OBJ
Jected. When the detectives began
to carry on search, porters COL
lecting from all parts of the Grand
Central station objected, upon which
the detectives tried to force them
to submit to search.
During the attempt to search the
lockers, the police used all of their
weapons in a murderous assault.
One of the detectives drew his gun
and threatened to shoot if the work
ors did not clear out.
Four red caps were arrested: (:
Thaddeus Nealy of 120 West 129th
ST.; John Whitaker of 100 49th ST.,
Corona and Hayes Foster of 1890
Seventh Ave. They are being held
on from $1,000 to $1,000 bail, and
are charged with having gambled
with policy slips.

BULLETIN.

MEXICO CITY, March IA
Three federal columns command
ed by Generals Cedillo, Almazan
and Cardenas are closing in on
Torreon to prevent the rebel
forces under General Escobar
from withdrawing to Chihuahua.
Gales is pushing north separately
to the west to clear Durango of
rebels who might execute flank
movement if, not prevented.
1t is reported that rebels hold
ing Nogales, Sonora, on the U.
S. border, are preparing to attack
the federals holding Naco, also a
border point. A rebel attack is
developing against Mazatlan on
the coast of Sinaloa, western
Mexico.
MEXICO CITY, March IA
Though reports from the U. S. bor-
der gave rebel claims that they had
won two clashes with federal troops
yesterday near Saltillo and some
where near San Luis Potosi, the Gil
government denies the truth of
these claims, stating that "Amer-
lean airmen who flew over the re-
gion" say government troops march,
ing north uninterruptedly. What
American airmen" are doing fly
ing over central Mexico is not
stated.
President Gil yesterday declared
"The rebellion is broken. The last
vestige of it will be crushed out in
a week or two" Meanwhile, how
ever, the main Mexican federal
army is driving steadily north to-
ward Torreon expecting to engage
in the biggest battle of the present
rebellion. Another federal force is
directed toward Durango.
Gales Names Catholics.
General Gales has set up a new
federal temporary headc""-'4~"s -
Rio Grande, in the SIT
go, and ordered troops released
from the liquidated campaign on
the Vera Cruz front, westward into
Guanajuato, an important railway
junction on lines between Mexico
City and Guadalajara, as Gales
said, "to suppress the Cath
olic rebels" in that section.
The Gil government regards that
the present most important moves
are along the U. S. border, where
General Olachea, switching back to
federal allegiance, has seized Naco
and thrown panic into the Sonora
rebel front on the border. He yes
terday sent troops south forty miles
to guard the great American owned
copper mines at Cananea.
