MEXICO CITY, June 12.-Secret
negotiations, by which new reac-

can government and the catholic
church will be formed, began at moor
today when President Portes Gil re.
ceived Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz Y

While Portes Gil is bargaining
away one of the cardinal principles
of the Mexican Revolution-struggle
against the counter-revolutionary
catholic church-the great mass of
the workers and peasants of the
country are being kept in ignorance
of the new plans for their enslave-
ment. That these plans are of the
most reactionary is attested by the
new series of prosecutions and
bloody suppressions instituted by
the Portes Gil government since the
crushing of the feudal-clerical up
rising. These suppressions include
the murder of the Communist and

the City Trust safe deposit boxes Of
Frederico Ferrari, brother of the

valuable than the fictitious entries
which decorated the books of the

CHARLOTTE, N. c., June 12.-
After the issuance of habeas corpus
writs had caused the authorities to
admit they were concealing Fred E.
Beal, Southern organizer of the Ma
tionaE-Textile Workers Union, in
Monroe County Jail, Attorney Jimi-
son from the International Labor
Defense and local reporters were all
lowed to see him for a short time.
Immediately after the interview, the
sheriff's deputies took him away
again to an unknown destination,
and he is now again being concealed
from his friends in some North Caro-
lima prison.
Newspaper reporters say they
asked Beal why armed guards were
kept at the tent colony and he re-
piled:
Because our headquarters had
been destroyed when deputies and
national guardsmen were within
hearing distance and civil authori-
ties have never pretended to offer
us proper protection. l never knew
when we were going to be attacked
against as our headqua > were

In a sharp, incisive speech, he
compared the cringing and anti
union tactics pursued by the shabby
outfit that goes under the preten-
tious name of the Joint Council
with the fighting tactics followed
by the Industrial Union.
The company union advises its
so-called members to remain on the
job even while they are going thru
the motions of negotiations" for a
fake stoppage, whereas the Indus
trial Union, he pointed out, is call
ing out the workers even in the set
tied shops for the coming general

1926, will be chairman of the Gen

Board, of the Executive Board and
all officers of the Industrial Union,
together with the Committee of 100,

Imperialists Spread
Many Diseases Among
Colonial Subjects

The appalling effect of imperial
ist exploitation upon the health of
colonial peoples is shown by an in
vestigation of the conditions in the
French colonies, published in the
French imperialist journal, la Le-
peche Colonial" In all French col
onies the native population is de-
creasing, amounting in Madagascar
and French West Africa to IA to 20
per thousand per annum. The birth
rate is high, ranging from 40 to 70
per thousand. But the rate of in
fantile mortality is 300 per thou
sand in Indo-China; 370 per thou
sand in West Africa, and 400 per
thousand in Madagascar. The ma
tives are dwindling in numbers and
in strength. Eleven per cent of the
men offering themselves for mill
tary service are rejected as too weak
for service.
The colonial peoples under the
domination of French imperialism
are becoming increasingly revolu-
tionary. From almost every large
French colony, delegates will be sent
to the Second Anti -Imperialist
World Congress in Paris, July goth
to 31st.
The All-America Anti-Imperialist
League will also send delegates to
this Internatio- al Congress, both
from the U. S. section and various
Latin-American sections. An anti
imperialist c-nference will be held
in New York on June 18th; in Chi
cago on il 18th, and in San Fran
cisco on June Both. The primary
purpose is to send delegates to the
Paris Congress.
