BRAND said pleading for a United
States of Europe" before the League
of Nations today.
BRAND proposed a defensive trade
alliance to fight the U. S. tariff.
But when he spoke of "such a de-
velopment in Europe that would
eliminate friction and misunder-
standing and which would prove to
be for the good Of all European
countries" it became clear that his
proposed alliance would be no mere
"trade" affair.
Despite Stimson's sharp disclaimer
of the U. S.-British naval accord
Macdonald eulogized in his opening
League speech, the British labor
premier is still harping on the navy
pact and "the spirit of peace" which
he says will effect it.
BRAND expressed the French fear
of such a U. S.-British caucus, which
could be used against them. "Mac-
Z Donald sees every problem from a
different point of view from that of
France" says the Journal des De-
bats. what will happen to other
lG.e.-French) naval powers when
Britain and America reach an agree
ment and set about debating to
Others" is the trend of comment in
most of the French press.

CRY CLASS PEACE
AS MEMBERSHIP
DWINDLES AWAY
SIN III er Protest of
Few Militants

BELFAST, Sept. 5.-Intensified
war against Communists and all
who challenge the class collabora-
ton policies of the reformist British
trade union congress was renewed
today when the "packed" convention
adopted an official resolution de-
nouncing the customary descriptive
tactics of the Communists who were
acting under orders from Moscow"
The protests of the handful of
militant workers who managed to
be seated at the congress were
quickly smothered by the official
dom as it passed resolution after
resolution endorsing the Mond
"peace-in-industry" plan and indus
trial cooperation"
Membership Falls.
1t was directly due to this policy
of submission of every whim of the
employers against the workers, the
Communist Trade unionists showed,
that the membership of unions af-
filiated with the congress has fallen
off to 100000 as against the near
ly 100000 of few years ago.
In stubborn fight to cite proof
of their contention, they pointed to
the case of the worker Glading, dis
charged from Woolwich Arsenal last
year because he was Communist.
Glading had appealed to his union.
The union had conveniently "re-
ferred the matter to the general
council" and the council had politely
written to the government about the
dismissal before dropping Glading's
case cold.
Militant delegates tried to force
the officialdom to reopen the case.
They could not even get themselves
hearing.
A. J. Cook, still secretary of the
Miners Union and honored guest
at Buckingham Palace, told his hear
ers that there would never be an
other coal strike in Great Britain"
Virtually as he spoke, the coal-own
ers were pushing naturalization
measures, directly sponsored by the
labor government, in coal fields
throughout England, Scotland and
Wales. Thousands of miners will
be thrown on the streets through
the process, and those left will be
forced to increase production thru
widespread introduction of machin-
cry.
These are the factors which will
inevitably make for. mass coal
strike, in spite Of the cheerful OPP
timism of Cook, members of the
Minority Movement, to which miners
are turning for leadership rather
than to the discredited reformist
unions, point out.

United States Trucking Co. and the
Motor Haulage Co., the city's largest
trucking operators, capitulated and
by noon most of the small truck
bosses had done likewise.
At a recent conference between
the union and the Merchants Truck
mems Bureau, the bosses accepted
the unions demand for time and q
half for overtime, but refused the
workers demand for the reduction
of hours. Yesterdays strike was
called to compel the bosses to re-
duce the working hours.

Hilman Opposes Strikes.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.-Com-
menting on the agreement signed by
the Amelgamated Clothing Workers
OF America and the Washougal
Clothing Co., Sidney Hillman, pres
ident Of the Amalgamated said that
he has been holding conferences for
a long time with Joseph Pietrafesa,
president of the factory.
"At no time during these confer
ences," said Hillman, "has there
been any suggestion of strike. A
strike always means waste, both for
the employers and the workers. Mr..
Pietrafesa also recognized that the
benefits of such an agreement would
accrue to the efficiency Of the bust
ness"

to shoot members of the Party and
League who dared to speak at open
air meetings and on Sept. 4, when a
League meeting was broken up, sew
eral comrades were arrested, and one
so terribly beaten up that the Har-
lem Hospital doctor had to be called
to bind up a severe scalp wound.
This officer, not only beat up sew
eral girl comrades in League uni
forms and several Negro working
girls, bat actually fired his gun at
many Negro workers who were
standing by and did not move on fast
enough to suit this Jim-Crow Negro
policeman, whom, it has been
learned, is recently from the South.
This officer, Johnson, was especially
urged on by the police captain who
said, "Smash the meeting, smash
the damn meeting and murder the
Reds"
1t is now clear to everyone that
the, prohibition by the police au-
thorities of open air meetings held
by the Party in Harlem, is part and
parcel of the whole campaign of
terrorism now being waged by the
capitalist class against the most adj
vanced section of the working class
of America, the Communist Party,
the champion Of the, Negro masses.
One important factor that must
be borne in mind is the splendid
reception of our propaganda, and
the sympathy shown by the Negro
masses. Fifteen Negro workers
filled out applications to join the
Communist Party. When many of
our comrades were being dubbed
they ran to the assistance of these
comrades. 1t was at this point Of
ficer Johnson drew his gun. and fired
at the crowd but was defied by the
Negro workers. Time and time
again the Negro workers rallied to
the defense of the arrested COM
1ades, and expressed strong indigna-
ton at the police brutality against
the comrades. This proves conclu-
sively, that the Negro masses can
be drawn into the revolutionary
struggle when the Party intensifies
its activity among them in their
every day struggles. The conclu-
sion to be drawn is the mobilization
Of the entire Party and League in
the District to defend the right of
free speech in Harlem, before the
election campaign is over. The i'm
mediate mobilization of the entire
District in this important task must
be recognized, and immediate steps
| must be taken to push this work en-
ergetically in order to build a mill
tant and powerful section of the
Communist Party in Harlem among
the Negro masses,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Secre-
tary of State Stimson today reveal
ed that on Aug. IA he sent note
to the League of Nations secretary
general saying that the Root form
ula met his approval.
The Root formula is a thrust of
American imperialism into the heart
of the League World Court. 1t
provides that the U. S. can sit in the
court and judge other nations, but
that the court shall not without
the consent of the United States en-
terrain any request for an advisory
opinion touching any dispute or
question in which the United States
has, or claims an interest"
The fifth article of the Root for
mu!a deals with this problem. 1t
promises chat there shall be attrib-
uted to an objection of the United
States the same force and effect as
attaches to a vote against asking
for the opinion given by member
of the League of Nations in the
council or in the assembly" But a
single objection by League mem
Der cannot prevent the court from
entertaining request for an
opinion.

 It was pointed out to the pack CTS that enormous wastes could be saved by combining under one head and reducing the num- ber of canneries in this Division to about 2. dozen. strategically located, where local labor could be had to run them, large over- head dispensed with, expensive competition for fish eliminated, the pack regulatad and improv- ed prices stabelized, local CO., operation assured, and many ether large economies effected. But the dominating interests wanted nothing like that. They are sitting pretty, and want to go on in the same old way, no matter how it affects us.
 It is perfectly safe to say that by united effort, close co-op- cration and comprehensive plan powerful interests can be induc- ed to organize on lines of mu- tual assistance and put such a system in effect, whereby the oeople Of this Division would be assured of regular supply of fish, regular employment Of can- nery help and fishermen, fair prices for fish, and if desired chance to participate in packing profits, which under such a sys- tenn can be assured, and the pro- ceeds of fishing and packing spent at home. With proper Industrial planning, other indus tries could be developed to give employment during slack sea- sen.
