AFRICA SHAKES FROM NORTH TO

Negro Dockers of South Africa Resist Tax

PARIS, Nov. $3.50 devastating
to French troops has become the
courageous resistance of African
peoples in the Riff of Morocco and
in the Atlas region, that no longer
can the French imperialist govern
ment conceal it.
After Abd-el Krim sold out to
France more than two years ago,
french Imperialism thought it had
tyon a final conquest, but every
Courier from across the Mediterra-
mean recently brings news of French
columns completely wiped out, and
of disastrous defeats inflicted on
those trying to penetrate INFO the
interior. This is beginning to cause
an alarm.
No outpost or travelling column
is safe without triple sentry lines,
and even then at times all are wiped
out by Moors. The Reguibat tribe,
most unconquerable of all the Ber-
bers, fight inch by inch with the
French for their homeland in west
Morocco. The Gourps are another
tribe but follow equal effective tao
tics and all work together.
Columns and garrisons of French
trying to extend imperialist rule be-
yond the Kerrat plateau find wells
poisoned, food resources destroyed,
relief Columns cut off and them
selves beseiged in a hell of sorching
sun without water or food. And
this resistance OF natives increases
in spite Of the tons of high explo-
sives daily dropped CT native viii
lagos by French n,-nes. The ma
tives naturally make short work of
such army aviators when captured.
1t must be noted that the present
French drive to the interior is a
aiolation Of the solemn promise OF
Sorner War Minister Painleve that
France would give up its campaign

Woodlawn prisoners who go to
prison for five years November 20,
that class sentences canynot dim the
revolutionary spirit of workers.
Milan Resetar, Peter Muselin and
Tom lima, sentenced to the Ale

years on charges of sedition, were
present and declared their I'M

workers in the fight on the terror
ing waged against all militant

The meeting, held in Labor Tenn
pie, Pittsburgh, was also addressed
by Pat Devine, Max Salzman and
Pat Toohey. The case of Saliva
tore Accorsi, Pennsylvania miner,
framed for murder of state
trooper, two years ago, was also
discussed.
The trial of Accorsi will come up
in Pittsburgh, December 8, in the
same court house in which three
FOCAL and iron police were white
washed several weeks ago after
numbering John Barkoski, miner.
Salzman declared, "The Pennsyl-
vania State Police have a slogan,
'We get our man. 1t should be we
get any working man in order to in
timidate the working class in Penn
sylvania'."
The workers present promised to
demonstrate and raise mass pro-
tests to Accorsi, whose case grew
out of Sacco-Vanzetti demonstra-
ton at Cheswicck, August %, 1927,
when 1000 miners and their fami-
lies were brutally attacked by the
State Police. In the course Of the
attack, one of the miners shot in
self-defense. Accorsi was not pres
ent at the mass meeting--having
been at his home four miles away.

NEGROES OF SOUTH AFRICA
AROUSED.

DURHAM, South Africa, Nov. 10.
Not for the Macdonald "labor"
governments palaver about British
"duties to enlighten backward peo-
pies" or even to assure peace and
ORDER" but for such an exalted pur-
pose as collecting taxes from Negro
dock workers, 500 police armed with
machine guns and gas bombs ar
rived here in the dead of night from
Pretoria and at $3.50 a. m. threw a
Gordon around the miserable bar
racks where thousands of dock
workers live, and in real imperialist
style went through each barracks
demanding passports and poll tax
receipts.
Hundreds escaped the raider en-
issaries of the British labor" party
who were engaged in forcing mis-
erably paid workers to pay the SIS
poll tax, having gotten wind of the
raid. They are supposed to have
taken considerable wei ons with
them. None were found. But the
Negro workers were by no means
docile, frequent fights took place
as the police went through the bar
racks aid groups of workers that
showed fight were broken up only
by tear gas bombs bought by taxes
previously paid by them.
The police are worried at the tax
resistance campaign of native la
borers, which is charged to Com
munist propaganda" and while
boasting that the raid had good
moral effect" and anxious at the
plan of the Negroes to demonstrate
against the British on December 16,

(By q Worker Consequently
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, (By
MaiD-Thomas F. Mcmahon, the
president of the United Textile
Workers Union, spoke here the
other night before meeting of the
Circle Club, composed of union
members.
In a very cunning way Mcmahon
said that his organization will be-
gin an Intensive campaign to or.
ganize the unorganized white tex
tile workers of the South"
Nothing was mentioned about the
unorganized Negroes. McMahon's
talk is a notice to the southern tex
tile bosses that the Negroes will not
be organized by the labor takers
and that therefore they can go ahead
with their Jim Crowism and segre-
cation. This is what the bosses
want, to divide the workers.
Even a blind man can see that
the southern mill textile workers are
dissatisfied with their rotten work
ing conditions. Mcmahon admits
this and states further that the
southern workers are very eager to
organize themselves.
The faker says, "The bad condi-
ton of the southern textile workers
will destroy the fine Americanism
which we find in these workers and
will hurt in a very serious manner
their respect for American tradi-
TONS"
l don't have to comment on this
statement.
Mcmahon assured the hearers
that the U. T. w. is safe and
sound, and need not be feared. No
representative of the U. 7. w. has
any connection or contact with any
of these Communists" he said.
Mcmahon says the situation of
the Elizabethon rayon ,rkers is
much better" Its just the oppo-
site. Mcmahon admitted that even
to this day active unionists are re-
fused employment there.

Newark Mayor Says 1t
Keeps from Mischief"

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 17,-With
over 5000 Newark children under
16 admitted by the U. S. Labor
Bureau to be employed in industries
and with 81 per cent of the children
under IL, the Newark City Com
mission passed an ordinance "regul-
ating" the hours of work for chill
dren, which permits the working
children to begin their day of slav-
cry at $50 a. m. The law is de-
signed to please the open shop boss
es of this city.
Under the new ordinance, the le-
gal working hours for children are
from $50 a. m. to 8 a. m. and from
$3.50 p. m. to 8 p. m, while al
child workers Is and over may be
made to slave until p. m.
Defending this new brutal ordin-
ance, Mayor Congleton, representa-
tive of the open shoppers, stated
that he believed that "the early
morning hours are not injurious to
children's health if they retired early
in the evening.
"These hours will keep the chill
dren from mischief" said Congle-
ton. "If boys are busy in the morn

and evening it is likely they will be
tired enough to go to bed early"

1t Is commonly known that Fox Is
anxious to enter broadcasting in order
to exploit his film stars and anticipate
television, but his determination to en-
ter the manufacturing field has occa-
stoned much surprise.
David Sarnoff, executive vice presi-
dent of the Radio Corporation of Amer
lea, was quick to issue reassuring
statement yesterday to dealers, advising
them that the discussions with General
Motors do not look toward a. change in
the distribution channels of the Radio
Victor Corporation, the Radio Corpora
ton of America subsidiary formed re-
Gently when the Victor Photograph was
merged.
"Some articles recently have appeared
in the public press" said Mr.. Sarnof
Ito the effect that arrangements have
been made whereby the General Motors
Co. will distribute the products of the
Radio-Victor Corporation. For the ben
eft of our trade channels, 1t is hereby
stated that we have no plans for chang
ing our present channels of distribution
through which products of the Radio
Victor Corporation, including radicals,
radiotrons and Victor instruments, are
supplied to the public.

900 to 100000 homes in the United
States that are not yet radio equipped,
and they indicate the prospective intro
duction of new receiving set models
bearing new trade names, II not new
wrinkles in themselves. More giant
capital in the radio manufacturing field
might possibly bring new price advan-
tages, for mass production and vigorous
competition in distribution would be
involved.
Would Compete With r. C. A.
General Motors would become a COM
petitor In the set producing and dis
tributing field of the Radio Corporation
of America itself, not to mention such
manufacturers as Atwater Kent, Grigs-
by-Grunow, .Stromberg- Carlson, Kol-
ster, CroSley and the score or more Of
other big firms now in the field.
If it obtains license, the General
Motors Co. will have to pay a royalty
of 71a per cent on all the sets it makes
to the Radio Corporation of America
for the right to use the patents of that
corporation.
Nothing definite can be learned about
the plans of the Fox interests, but it is
said they have begun negotiations with
radio broadcasting, radio manufacturing
and monograph manufacturing inter-
ests with view to becoming rival of

the General Motors 90. in connection
with a licensing arrangement for the
manufacture by the General Motors Co.
OF radio receiving sets under patents OF
the Radio Corporation Of America"
It generally Is believed that General
Motors proposes to go into the radio
business to enable its automobile dis
trlbutors to have a sales product during
the dull season for motor car sales.
Both radio and automobiles have their
seasons, the Winter being favorable to
the former and the Summer to the lat
ter. Moreover, General Motors, which
manufactures certain electrical prod
ucts, is believed to have at hand certain
patents and devices of it's own that
would apply to radio production and
that 1t desires to exploit.
Fox Facilities Unknown.
There also is possibility that Cen
eral Motors will manufacture some
equipment for distribution by the Radio
Corporation of America, although this
is regarded as remote. 1t is said that
the products would be made in the plant
of the Day-Fan Electric Co., at Dayton,
Ohio, recently taken over by General
Motors.
AS for the Fox interests, It Is not
known what facilities they would have
either for producing or distributing. un-
less their plan contemplates taking over
