Schober made a speech on his
program for the new government in
today's session of the national coun-

MED that the fascist movement was

Judge Gray gave the case of Jon
Barkoski's murderers to the jury

Starving Workers Send Aid

Steve Zilka, of Bentleyville, Pa,
tasted capitalistic justice when he
was crippled for life by the shots
fired by coal and iron policeman
ceveral years ago.
Almost on the verge Of starvs ton,
he and his wife went out on the
streets of their small steel town
covering between the steel furnaces
of Charles Schwab, and told their
friends of Gastonia.
"You see what happened to me
for protesting against conditions
here. They are trying to do worse
to the 23 Gastonia strikers. They
want to send 16 to the electric
chair"
As result of his petition, Zilka

and 16 other members and or
ganizers of the National Tex
tile Workers Union to the cleo
trio chair and to long prison
terms in order to crush the
union, is proof of the severity
of the struggle which must be
carried on for militant unionism,
against the stretch-out, for shorter
hours, abolition of night work, etc.
The attempt to legally murder
these members and organizers of
the N. T. W. U. for their leadership
in the Loray strike and their de-
fense of themselves and their union
headquarters leaves no doubt as to
the desperate lengths to which the
bosses will go to maintain starva-
ton wages and complete control
over the lives of the workers in in
dustry.
The Negro workers are robbed
and oppressed worse than the white
workers are. The color line is used
by the bosses to keep the workers
divided and weaken the struggle for
better wages, better working condi-
tions and powerful unions. Unions
for effective action against the boss
es must include all workers in each
industry-colored and white. AS
long as one section of the working
class is forced into worse conditions
than another section, or division is
created through racial prejudice, the
whole working class can be defeated
and enslaved Unity of Negro and
white workers in militant unions is
a necessity for successful struggle
against company towns, starvation
wages, to 10, II and 12-hour day.
RatiOnaliation.
Glow wages, long hours, the intro
duction of new machinery that needs
less workers to operate, the smash
ing of unions, persecution of mill
tant workers, like the attempt to
railroad the % Gastonia strikers and
organizers to the electric chair and
long prison terms-this is rational
ization, and is preparation for I'M
perialist war. Without militant in
dustrial unions the millions of work
ers in the huge industries of the
United States are almost helpless.
They are at the mercy of the bosses
and their agents in the ranks of the
wroking class-like the officials of
the American Federation of Labor
and those of the United Textile
Workers, whose job it is to fool the
workers and check their struggles be-
fore they become a menace to the
profits of the bosses, as they did in
Ware Shoals, N. c.; New Bedford,
Mass; Elizabethton, Tenn; in
Marion and as they did on big
scale in North Carolina in 1921.

 Is Discussed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Presi- dent Hoover appraised the world last night that reduction of naval armament could not be too low to suit the United States.
 We will reduce our naval strength in proportion to any o...s~ er" the President asserted in an Armistice Day address.
 Having said that 1t only re- mains for others to say how long they will go, it cannot be too low for the United, States" continued the President.
 New Contribution
 As another contribution to ul- innate peace in the world, Presi- dent Hoover proposed that food ships should be made free of any interference in times of war.
 The time has come when we should remove starvation of women and children from the weapons of warfare" said the President, ada ing he put forward the proposition of treating food ships as hospital craft as a practical step in the solution, for large part. of the old age controversy of the freedom Iof the seas.

 On preparedness, the President said: T am. for adequate prepar- edness as a guaranty that no for eign soldier shall ever step upon the soil of our country. and no Am- 1 erican will arise today and say that we wish one gun or one arm- cd man beyond that necessary for the defense of our people"

STATE POLICE LINKED
 BY TYPEWRITER MESH

HARRISBURGK, Pa, Nov. 12.-- The advantage of the criminal with a high speed automobile will be off, set in Pennsylvania by installation of a system of instantaneous com- munication among all police de- partments.
 Through an appropriation of s260,000 by the legislature, one hun dred cities and control points of the state police and highway patrol will be connected on January 1 by the telegraph-typewriter machine that has gained wide use in busi- ness, particularly by newspapers.
 The discovery of crime will be immediately flashed to all police headquarters, with all data that might aid in apprehension.
 Maj. Lynn c. Adams, superin- tendent of the state police, has se- lected cities along the two main thoroughfares of the state, the Will liam Penn and the Lincoln high ways, approximately 20 miles apart, for the installation.
 The system will also be employed to aid in such matters as tracing lost airplanes, and advising avia- tors of weather conditions.

Recent Stock Exchange
 Break Due to Collision

swift progress in the spring and summer creaked almost to a dead stop. Leading banks and indus trial concerns continued to shop around for new companies but found the latter being held at prices unwarranted by earning power. either present or prospective.
 For several months the desire to support pivotal stocks on the part of banks and corporations has been weakening. Their only interest was to keep the decline from be- coming too perpendicular. Certain large investment trusts in close touch with banking opinion believe that the support of strong banks, which was enlisted after the recent clash of prices, was only temporary.
 They are convinced that an ssor- derly decline" is still the objective of leading Wall Street interests.
