The defense witnesses testified
that the only disturbance at the
meeting was the action Of the po-
lice in breaking it up.
One witness in the police court,
who testified that Graham caused
no disturbance, reversed his testi-
mony in the Corporation Court and
made the same statement as the
detectives. This witness is en-
ployed by the Finkelstein Clothing
Co., for which one of the prosecu-

there were present at the conference,
Hoover, secretary of the treasury,
Mellon, and Lamont, of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
Mellon has broadcasted proposal
for building operations to stem
mounting unemployment, which pro-
vides for the expenditure Of $751;
100000 a year for ten years on gov
eminent buildings. Should this stu
pendous plan go into effect, it would
provide work for a few hundred out
of the many thousands of workers
being thrown out of work, and would
be restricted to the city of Washing
ton. The widely advertised $3,000.-
900, 900 Hoover fund for tnemploy-
ment has dwindled many thousand
per cent.
There is no more talk about sup
port to the stock market, but out
right admission that industry re-
quires first aid if imperialism is to
run smoothly.
Announcements are being made
that the Federal Reserve banks will
cut its rates to 1-2 per cent in
order to bolster up Hoovers plans.
A cabinet meeting set for today
was adjourned, so that the most inn
portant members Of the cabinet
could assume their lies as business
executives at Hoover's conference.
It is the hope of the capitalists
that the railroads can be pushed into
buying equipment, which is not need
ed at this time, as means of stimu-
Iating steel output, and Of alleviating
unemployment in this basic indus
tr,-.
No tangible results were reported
from the conference. This is the
first in a series of three-day confer
ences that Hoover has proposed.
After making plans with the lead
ing bosses of big business, Hoover
intends comforting it'll representa-
tives of the American Federation of
Labor in order to work out plans of
drugging the American workers into
accepting the burden of the econ
omic crash, and the drastic measures
in the way of wage-cuts, lengthen-
ing of hours, ETC., which will be the
main thread of the Hoover program.

Keep 'em Humble Is Slogan
of GYYenUlIIe Mil Bosses

Keep us humble and in slavery.
They think we haven't the sense to
demand our rights. We have. Why
don't we use it? Demand it! We are
not so humble looking. The people
up North say the southern girls,
they work for nothing. That's why
we move our factories down there.
l argued today with my second
hand. | discussed a few things that
led to her mind. Well, don't knock
the company to the other girls, she
says. Now, she knows too that the
company is cheating, not cheating
but sapping the life of the poor
working girl.
If the girls didn't have parents
to live with, to keep them up, they
couldn't board on 1884 and $500 a
week.
"How are we gonna demand our
money" says a girl to me. We need
to organize. If you mention union
or organize it frightens some of
them to death. Well just have to
show these manufacturers that they
cant always come to the South for
cheap labor. We are 0oing ~ or
ganize and they will have to pay
us more.

At the warehouse the farmers to-

The farmers are told that when
they grade their tobacco it brings

into several piles instead of one,
which means more 25-cent fees for

and journeyed to Moscow as the
first stage in their emigration to
Canada are returning voluntarily to
their homes in increasing numbers.
This is due to their establishment
with the promise held out to them
that the Germany authorities would
aid them. But the German authori-
ties are making no proper provisions
to secure transport to Germany,
while the Canadian government
shows an unwillingness to accept
these immigrants.
From these facts the would-be
emigrants are beginning to realize
that they are being misused by the
bourgeois to serve anti-Soviet prop

LABOR PARTY TO
ATTACK J0BLESS
Thomas Begins With a
Blow at Relief

LONDON, Eng, Nov. ID. H.
Thomas, Lord Privy Seal, and the
"labor" governments wise man on
unemployment, yesterday told a
gathering of British employers that
he disagreed with the Labor" Party
platform-on which Macdonald was
elected and Thomas appointed to
enforce-concerning unemployment.
The platform stood for "Work or full
maintenance Of the unemployed at
the expense of the state" This
means that the Labor" Party as a
whole is recanting this election pro-
gram.
Thomas said that he agrees with
the employers idea, which is in eff
feet that unemployed workers simply
starve to death. Thomas expressed
this by saying he was against I'M
employed compensation because it,
so he says, sis calculated to destroy
and sap that Independent spirit
which built up the British race
This statement of Thomas, in
which he says that on this point
he disagrees with other laborite
leaders, is the opening gun attack
ing the unemployment relief long
established. 1t is certain to be, not
Thomas opinion alone, but that of
the whole labor" government, in
troduced by him as test. If the
workers do not show marked resent
ment, other laborites will follow and
all relief stopped.
At the same time, the 'labor"
government of Australia has cabled
a request to British laborites to
abandon the proposal of sending I'M
employed British workers to Aus
tralia, the British government pay
ing their fare, as there is a great
unemployed army in Australia also.
Another laborite trick is seen in
the fake peace gesture of the gov
eminent in announcing that the
Singapore naval base construction
would be slowed down Gas much as
possible" which means exactly
nothing. Such Slowing down" is
only to be done--"as much as pos
sible"--until the naval conference in
January.
Meanwhile the laborite leaders are
defending British business at home
and abroad and attacking the unem-
ployed, the shipyard employers say
they will have to lock out $4,000 ship
carpenters as a result of the Belfast
dispute, on the 23rd of November.

Big Interests Clash
Over Tariff on Sugar

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The
Snate, unable to reach any agree
ment on the sugar schedule of the
tariff bill, postponed the matter in
definitely until some agreement can
be reached among the senators.
A bitter fight over the tariff
schedule on sugar has been made by
representatives of sugar manufac-
turing interests in Louisiana and
Colorado on one hand and importers
and refiners of Cuban sugar on the
other. Millions of dollars have been
spent by both sides in an effort to
get favorable legislation.
The tobacco schedule, now being
taken UP by the senate, also involves
the matter of Cuban imports, espe-
cially by Florida manufacturers.
