CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-Officials of

national Alliance, A. F. of L., state
that 5000 bell-boys in Chicago ho-
tells have joined it as charter men,

Edward M. Sain is elected presi-
dent of the local.
The grievances of the bell-boys
center around their being forced to
buy jobs from the managers, and to
divide tips with them. The boys
have to depend on tips for their
main income, as the regular wage
is only one dollar a day.
The initiation fees are $40, and,
after three months, the member be-

SEIZURE OF THE

AIM IN MEXICO
Workers and Agrarian
Toilers Form Bloc
for Struggle
Tirana for President
Communist Party Joins
New Organization

MEXICO CITY. Jan. 28.-The
Workers and Agrarian Toilers' Con-
ference here is ending with the for
nation of permanent political bloc
of workers and peasantry, united
front formed by SOC delegates rep
resenting half-million actual adj
herents.
Within this bloc are the Commu-
mist Party Of Mexico, the National
Agrarian Toilers League, the Rail
waymen's Party, and many power
ful federations Of labor.
Revolutionary Program.
The program upon which the bloc
is based insures its character as an
organ of open struggle against i'm
perialist interests and native cap
italism, both agrarian and indus
trial, and all the political elements
representing such interests.
The program is based on the dem
ocratic dictatorship of the workers
and peasantry. 1t calls for the ma
tionalization of the Iand-'Land to
the Peasants; naturalization of in
dustries with workers control;
dissolution of the present state ap-
paratus and formation of workers
and peasants councils, and the arm
ing of the masses.
Political Unity for First Time.
The delegates represent affilia-
tions from all parts of Mexico.
This is the first time in Mexican
history that there has been such
unity among the leading forces of
the labor and peasant masses.
The presidential candidate, which
will be supported by the Communist
Party within the bloc, is the agra
rian revolutionist, Pedro Rodriguez
Tirana. The blcc has elected an
I executive committee of nine mem
bers, with Diego Rivera as chair
man of the committee and Ursulo
Galvan as secretary.
Direct Struggle Impending.
The perspective ahead portends the
sharpest and most direct and open
struggles with the forces of reac-
tion hacked by U. S. imperialism.
The election, in which Tirana will
stand as a candidate, takes place in
the coming November.
Tirana won his spurs as a revolu-
tionary under Madero in 1910. He
was later commander under
Pancho Villa and then of Emiliano
Zapata. After Zapata was killed.
Tirana retired from military life and
gained wide influence as an agra
rian leader.

Ex-count Ilya Tolstoy stood on
Sunday in st. Johns Episcopal
Church on Eleventh ST., with half
of vested choir to right of him
and half of it to the left of him,
waved his fat hands in front of his
beard, and prophesied the downfall
of the Bolsheviki in Russia" The
ex-count admitted in the course Of
his lecture that he thot in Septem-
ber, 1917, when he "saw that Keren-
sky was turning over the country to
the Communists" Ga thing which
Kerensky would certainly be the first
to deny) that the "Reds" would not
last six months.

a lecture tour" said Tolstoy, and !
thot that when it was over, l would
go back to Russia to enjoy my
freedom. But here l am still, and
it has been twelve years." But he
is still giving the same lecture about
the downfall of the Bolsheviki."
Such Unrespectability.
Tolstoy's idea of freedom seems
to be freedom to plunge on the stock
market. He told story, whether
true or not your reporter does not
know, to the effect that once the
Soviet in a big city needed money
to pay the factory workers that
week. So with secret agents they
enticed the 'black bourse" of furtive
stock gamblers and spectators in
money out into the open.

Against Recognition.
He appealed to the rather small
crowd listening listlessly to see to
it that the U. S. never recognizes
the Soviet government, because it
is based on violence, and my father,
the great Tolstoy, would never
countenance a government based on
violence"
In the very next breath, Ilya Toll
stoy praised the capitalist democ
racy of U. S., tho Leo Tolstoy during
his life denounced capitalism.
Ilya's theme in the countless lec-
lures he gives seems to be his
fathers mystical, reactionary, dead
ening religious theory, minus his
fathers scathing condemnation of
capitalism.
The younger Tolstoy says he does
not rely on counter revolution to
overthrow Communism in Russia,
but on the economic difficulties
which the Communists are trying to
overcome. He repeated the often ex-
ploded slanders about constantly
increasing, hordes of homeless chill
dren," etc. 4

MASS PARADE IN

Thousands Of Workers

Brutality
Several Are ] allie d
Speakers, Pulled Off
Stand, Return

CHICAGO, Jan. %. Chicago
workers persisted in staging huge
mass demonstration Saturday before
the Cuban Consulate here, to protest
the murder Of Julio Mella, in spite
of the attempt of mounted police
and detectives to disperse them, COM
ing back and reforming their ranks
every time the police charged. Many
of the workers were beaten and
seven were arrested.
Hundreds of workers started the
demonstration, but by the time it
was fully under way the demonstra-
ton consisted of thousands and
blocked all downtown loop traffic.
A squad of Is mounted police rode
down the marchers and two score
of foot and plainclothes men tried
to break up the march.
Speakers Jailed.
The answer was the starting of a
street meeting at which Communist
and young Communist speakers were
greeted with tremendous enthusiasm.
Truck drivers stopped dead in the
middle of the streets to watch. The
first speaker to mount the platform
was Carl Sklar, organization secre-
tary of District s, Workers Party.
AS he was arrested he introduced
Bill Matheson, sub-district organizer
of the Southern Illinois District, who
made stirring speech before being
yanked down.
The next was Minnie Lurye, of the
Young Workers League. Then Ed
Stevens and Sam Herman, Milwau-
kee Y. w. L. organizer. Twice the
police 'took them around the block,
and especially Stevens showed the
effects of the beating. The speak
ers came back and remounted the
platform, only to be pulled down
again and finally to be locked up in
the Detective Bureau.
When a worker photographer, Sam
Wolfe, tried to get pictures of the
police in action, his camera was
smashed and he was beaten into in
sensibility. When his sister, Helene
Wolfe, went to his aid she too was
arrested.
Crowd Reforms.
Three times the crowd was broken
up by police charges and each time
it swirled around between the police
and reformed it's lines. The police
tried to tear up the banners, while
the crowd fought to protect them.
Several were borne back to head
quarters in triumph, others went to
the police as evidence"
Among the signs were the follow
ing slogans: workers of Chicago,
Denounce the Murder of Mella";
Down with the Murderer Machado,
Puppet of Wall Street; Down with
Yankee Imperialism; Freedom for
the Cuban Workers and Farmers" :"
A large number of Cuban workers
and students, and other Spanish
speaking workers participated under
the banners of the All-America Anti
ImperiaIist League.

!. .0SE LUNCH BY
WHAL.EN RULING
Pedestrian Law Keeps
Workers Jannned

Thousands of workers lost their
luncheon and spent a most uncom-
Portable hour, from noon to one
o'clock, yesterday on seth ST., west
of Seventh Ave, on account of Po-
lice Commissioner Whalen's deter
mination to make the front pages of
the newspapers as the man who
stopped traffic jams on Seventh
Ave-, and do good turn to the
garment bosses.
When the workers in the many
factories, dress and fur shops on
Seth st. poured from their work
places at noon and started for Sew
enth Ave., to go uptown to restau-
rants, as they had always been ac-
custoned to do, they found fifty
Tammany police, on foot and
mounted, swinging clubs and forcing
them to halt, or go south.
AS a result, Both St.. for blocks
was crowded by freezing, immov-
able mass of workers from building
to building for blocks.
Practice Against Strikes.
Under command of Gorgeous
Grover Whalen, Tammany's police
in the garment district on Seventh
Ave. are practicing a new regula-
tion, even before it becomes q law,
to interfere with picketing.
The regulation is that no one must
walk north on the west side of Sew
enth Ave-, between seth and 3Sth
Sts., between twelve and one O'Clock.
nor south on the east side during
the same time.
The police commissioner, and the
garment factory owners who inti-
ated this regulation, which the city
counsel is asked to make a law, have
in mind also law to be passed at
the next meeting, making it illegal
for a pedestrian to cross the street
except with green lipht, just like
an automobile. The effect will be
to provide easier convictions for
pickets.
Make Traffic Jam.
Both of these regulations are be-
ing foisted on the workers of New
York as provisions to make traffic
faster. and prevent jamming of the
streets.

WASHINTON, Jan. 28.-After
Chairman Britten of the House Ma

APPARENTLY talked too freely of what

a big imperialist navy. Hoover's
secretary at Miami, Florida. sent in

in REGARD to naval affairs. Coolidge
is for a big navy, but has made a
half f-hearted protest against huild-

The telegram sent by Hoover was
read on the floor of the senate by
Chairman Hale of the Senate Nava,
Affairs Committee, and is as fol.
lows:
"My attention has been called tc

Along with the telegram from
Miami, Hale read one signed by
Compander McNutt of the Amer.

of the naval bill in its present form

Peace While

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 28. -
While ''conciliators" and "arbitra-
tors" and supposed "peace" have
fallen upon the recent conflict be-
tween Bolivia and Paraguay, no one
should be deceived by these appear
ances. Behind the whole "peace"
talk, the South American nations
are arming for war and the intrigue
flows in ever stronger currents in
the direction of a future conflict
that may set the world aflame.
Argentina, and then Chile, have
placed an embargo on all arms ship
ments destined for Bolivia. Bolivia

LA PAZ, Bolivia, Jan. 28.-The
Investigation" of arms shipments
from foreign countries for Bolivia
shows that two years ago a Bolivian
military commission went to Eng
land to buy war material from the
Vickers company and that before
the recent clash with Paraguay,
Bolivia had already received NUM-
tions costing many million dollars,
which were paid for from the last
loan of S23,000,O00 received from
the Dillon-Read banking house of
New York.
The sub-secretary of Foreign Re-
lations has issued a statement open
ly admitting the purchase of arma-
ments, but claiming that Bolivia has
a right to do so "the same as Ar
gentina and Chile" and claiming
that Paraguay has been armina
also, getting shipments through
Argentine ports.

of Argentina's embargo against
