HARBOR CRASH
DAMAGES Liner
Mauritania Is Forced Back
to Pier for Repairs.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The liner
Mauritania, outbound for Europe
with 300 passengers and carrying
more than $5000,000 in gold, collided
with steel car ferry near the Rob-
bins reef lighthouse and was forced
to return to her pier here early to-
day for repairs.
Many of the passengers had re-
tired, expecting to awake on the
high seas, when the prov of the
Cunard liner crashed into ferry No.
81 of the New York, New Haven e.
Hartford Railroad. The Mauritania
had passed the statue of Liberty
and was able to proceed to quaran-
tine, where the ship was halted
while SearchlightS played about her
waterline to establish what damage
had been done.
At daybreak it was determined
that there were two holes in the
liners port bow and she steamed
slowly back to her pier in the Hud-
son river.
The impact tilted fifteen of the
freight cars from the ferry and for
time the ferry floated about the
lower harbor without lights and a
menace to navigation. Harbor police
reported several hours later, how
ever that the ferry had been located
and lowed to a pier near CreenviI1e

BORAH WANTS
SWIFT ACTION
ON TARIFF BILL
Passage Before Christmas
Will Be Demanded by
Coalition Leader.
by PAUL r.. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondeht

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The
tariff bill should be passed by the
senate before Christmas, Senator
William E. Borah, the coalition
leader in charge, declared today.
Borah made known he would not
consent to consideration of any ap-
preparation bills or other matters
before the tariff is disposed of. Mel
ther will he permit any extended
discussion on the case of seating
Senator-Elect William S. Ware of
Pennss ivania, a question which must
be settled first when congress re-
convenes Monday.
Aroused by charges that his coah-
ton delayed tariff action by permit
ting the special session to adjourn
last week, and that it has disturbed
business by rewriting the bill, b.
Tah and his leaders among the
Democratic and independent Repub-
lican groups now are determined to
see the bill through as soon as pos
sible.
The leaders had believed they
would do well if they passed the bill
by the end of January or the first OF
February. To adopt their speed
program, they had to force delay in
the normal program for the regular
session. They could not escape con-
sideration of the Ware case. 1t had
been set for Dec. 3, by special order
adopted with two-thirds majority
of the senate early in the fall.
Borah believes it will take no more
than two days and that the senate
will return to the tariff by Dec. 3.
Ordinarily, appropriations bills
have the right of way. The treasury
and postoffice supply bill will be
passed by the house the first week
of the session and will be ready for
consideration in the senate before
the holiday recess. Under BorahS
program, it will be held until after
the holidays.
Six schedules of the tariff remain
to be acted upon and speedy work
will be necessary if the coalition
plan is to be carried out. Sugges-
tions have been made that night
sessions be started in case there is
tendency to drag out the debate.

c. 0. P. TO FIGHT
PENNSYLVANIA
SENATOR Loss
Effort to Seat Wilson If
Ware Is Rejected Will
Be Opposed.

BIZ ScriDDs-Hoiodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, NOV. ga
though the senate is expected to
refuse to seat Senator Elect William
S. Ware Of Pennsylvania next week
by a decisive majority, sharp fight
is likely if attempts are made to
seat William B. Wilson, his Demo-
cratic opponent.
Before the senate votes on the
resolution of Senator Norris of Ne
braska, refusing Ware his seat, it will
dispose of the election contest
brought by Wilson, who claimed
that he and not Ware was elected
at the general election in Penn
sylvania in 1926.
Wilson'S contest has been before
the senate for two years and the
final report is expected next week.
Supporters of Senator Ware are
fearful that a minority report on the
Wilson contest will accept the Dem
ocratic candidates contentious and
will recommend that he be seated.
This would have the effect not
only of rejecting Ware, but of pre-
venting Governor Fisher of Penn
sylvania from naming Republic
an successor and also of prevent
ing Ware from seeking vindication
at the general election next year.
Wilson, in his contest, charges
that he obtained a majority of
27C,762 votes, or sufficient to give
him a statewide lead of 173,507
votes.

examples of fraud in Pittsburgh

A mass meeting of the Subway

at Stuyvesa,nt Casino, 142 Second

The Subway and Construction
Union was formed a couple of
weeks ago after the takers of the
A. f. Of l.. sold out the Bronx
strike and refused to spread the
strike as the workers demanded.
The workers saw the open sell-out
of the A. f. of l.. and broke away
from them. They formed new
union, open to all the workers in
the construction industry, regard
less of craft, race or nationality.
The initiation fees are low enough
to permit the lowest paid workers
to join. Timbermen, drillers, engi-
neers, muckers, plasterers, laborers
and all other workers in the con-
struction industry are urged to
join this union and wage a struggle
for better conditions.

The whole reign of torture and

Meeting originally scheduled for
Saturday, Jan. 18 at Z p. M, will
be held on Wednesday evening, Jan.
% at Z p. m. The meeting will take

will be a great anti-war demonstra-
ton uniting dozens of organizations

Occurring as it does on the day that

u. S. KEEPS ITS
Grip IN CHINA
Refuse to Change EX-
tra-Territoriality

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Stim-
son, whose war threat to the Soviet
Union tried to give the impression
that U. S. imperialism was really
concerned about China, while at the
same time U. S. gunboats surround
ed the country in the interest of
Wall Street, today reiterated the
abrupt refusal of the American gov
ernment even to consider a change
in the question of extra-territorial-
ity.
The policy of U. S. imperialism
that "Chinese and dogs" were to be
treated alike was again stressed
when in reply to the Chang Kai-
shek government announcing that
they would make a sham try at do
ing away with extra-territoriality,
the State Department declared it
was not considering any change.
The Soviet Union, immediately
after the revolution wiped out extra
territoriality in China as far as the
citizens of the workers republic were
concerned.
The Chang Kai-shek government
which relies on foreign imperialism
to maintain its rule against the
revolutionary masses, does not want
the elimination of extra-territorial-
ity.
This can be wiped out only by the
armed uprising of the Chinese work
ers and peasants.
Extra-territoriality is one of the
very sinews of imperialist domina-
ton in China. 1t permits repre-
sentatives of foreign imperialism to
commit any crime on the calendar
and then be tried by court of their
fellow imperialists.
