party, held last night in the Rand
School, passed a resolution of
greetings to the international La
dies Garment Workers Company
Union on the glorious Strike" it
and the cloak bosses have been

August Claessens, for many
years leading office-boy of the
socialist party machine, burst in
to exuberant praise of the corrupt
company union agents and pledged
the full support of the socialist
party to all their future treacher-
les. Claessens bemoaned the fact,
however, that the workers who
attended the company union meet
ings showed no enthusiasm.

touches on the fake agreement be-
tween the cloak manufacturers and
their company union, the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers

GASTONTA, N. c., July II.
Since the Charlotte court
yesterday held Delmar Hamp-
ton for trial on a murder
charge, the defense has not
been idle. To counteract the
lying propaganda of the mill owners
through the Gastonia Gazette and
in other ways, the international La
Dor Defense has got out the first
issue of the Gastonia Labor De-
fender, weekly paper that will
fight the falsifications of the bosses
and their prosecutors in the frame
up case right in their own home
town.
Call All To Meeting.
Distributed along with the first
issue of the Gastonia Defender is
leaflet calling a meeting of the mill
workers of CASTOR county at the
Gastonia tent colony next Saturday.
Hugo Oehler and Dewey Martin, or
ganizers for the National Textile
Workers Union, Walter Trumbull
for the International Labor Defense,
and Alfred Wagenknecht for the
Workers International Relief, will be
principal speakers. Five autos and
% men have been distributing the
leaflet throughout the county.
County Health Officer Ryan is
visiting the colony daily, harassing
the strikers, and trying to start
trouble, but has failed so far to
find grounds for complaint.
Evict Woman.
Ellie Carpenter, with two babies
came to the colony yesterday for
place to sleep. She has been stay
ing with relatives at Belmont, but
these were threatened by the mill
owners who told tAem that unless
they put her out they would be
fired as she was a dangerous red"

W. /. R. took care of her.
1t is the sheriff now who refuses
to permit the photographing of the
strlker-prisoners, and says the de-
fe:l5e will have to get court order
for it.
The prosecution in the Charlotte
habeas corpus hearings for Delmar
Hampton yesterday had to present,
in lieu Of any real evidence, an af-
fidavit from the pseudo policeman
Roach which is at complete vari-
ance with his previous affidavits in
the preliminary hearing of the first
% strikers.
Contradicts Previous Affidavit.
This new affidavit by Roach is
quite different from the one he had
made at the preliminary hearings
Of the IA other Gastonia strikers
and organizers held for murder, and
the eight held for assault.

NEW ORLEANS, N. c., July ii.
The New Orleans street car
strikers will get a general strike of
all building trades workers if these
rank and file members are able to
overpower the treacherous policy of

strike meeting of building workers,
which was to be held today, has
been called off by the building

The building workers, by mass
pressure, succeeded in getting a
vote several days ago by the coun-
Gil for a general strike in solidarity
with the carmen, but the council

strike would come when circum-

began to delay action in every way

structed American diplomatic repre-
sentatives in 80 capitals of the world to
inform the governments to which they
are accredited Of the formal deposit OF
Japan's ratification Of the Kellogg anti
war treaty and that the treaty Is now
effective.
The Secretary's action was taken in
conformity with article 3 of the treaty,
STIMULATING that the American Govern
ment would inform other adhering ma
tionS formally when the treaty became
binding on them.
The French government, which nego-
tiated adherence of the Soviet govern
ment, is to communicate the informa-
ton to Moscow. The American en-
bassy at Paris was instructed to de-
liver the information to the Afghan
Minister there, since the new govern
ment in Afghanistan Is not recognized
by the United States and has no dip
lomatic representative in Washington.
The British government will be re-
quested to inform the governments of
Australia, New Zealand, the Union Of
South Africa and India. which are also

Result of Protest on Brutal
Treatment of Another.

Chicago Daily News.
ASUNCION, Paraguay, July ga
iurid story of murders, savage assaults
and deportations of Americans in lone
some villages in Eastern Bolivia was
told here by Malcolm owen, the latest
victim of the official vendetta.
Owens report is backed by the state
ments and aftidavits of witnesses, in
Guiding former British consul, and Is
SO astounding that George l.. Kreeck,
the American Minister to Paraguay, for
warded the State Department an &C
count. Because of the remoteneSs of
the country the American victims of
outrages are unable to communicate
with the American Minister at La Paz.
According to Owen, two soldiers ap-
preached him and conveyed the order
of the chief of police to leave town
within 20 minutes: they accompanied
him home, forced him to leave all his
property behind except a change of
clothes, took him to Brazil, where they
left him at an abandoned lumber camp.
The chief later confiscated mineral sam
Piles, maps and data which Owen had
left.
Owen expl-'.,5 his deportation was
the result OF protesting the chiefs
brutal treatment of another American
named Harris and his announced in
tention of notifying the American
representative at La PaZ. The previ-
Gus evening the chief, apparently in
toxicated, proclaimed that the United
States was determined to settle the
present mediation against Bolivia Har-
ris protested. The chief ordered him
TO leave. Later the chief struck Harris
with revolver and knocked him I'M
conscious. Then the chief called six
soldiers, who tossed Harris into the
road, where the chief rubbed his face
with stones until all the skin came off,
Then Harris was locked in the open-air
stocks. When Owen saw him the next
day. Harris was unacceptable and was
In critical condition with three ribs
broken.
A few years ago an aged Texan, Hart
Mix, was brutally killed, and his muir
der went unnoticed by Washington. A
Bolivian army lieutenant and four SOL
oilers broke into his house in Santa
Cruz, but Mix repealed them Other
soldiers, however, surrounded his house,
and when he came out at daylight he
was shot from behind a bush.
