Textile workers of Brooklyn will

meeting is the first of series to be
held during the course of the cr-

Contrary to the general belief
that New York and vicinity is not

KELLOGG STATES
PACT UNCHANGED
New Bill to Disarm
Foes of Wall st.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The
report of the foreign relations COM
mittee interpreting the Kellogg
anti-war pact has no affect on the
treaty itself, said Secretary of State
Kellogg at the state department to-
day.
The Interpretation Of the senate
committee will not be communicated
to foreign governments because it
has no connection with the treaty,
the secretary let it be known.
To Disarm U. S. Foes.
Rep. Korell, Rep, Ore, introduced
resolution today to prohibit the
expectation of arms, munitions or
implements of war to nations vio-
lating the Kellogg peace pact.
Kerell said his resolution ad-
vances policy toward international
relations in which the United States
should assume leadership.
The Korell bill, if passed, will give
the U. S. state department clear
excuse to do what it would probably
do anyway, under the treaty, that is
cut off military supplies from any
nation, especially in South America,
which it wishes to lose a war, merely
by ruling that the country opposed
to U. S. imperialism has not properly
abandoned war as policy of in
ternational relations"
Thus, if a U. S.. puppet govern
ment like that of Bolivia should con-
flict with some state not controlled
by U. S. capital, like Paraguay, no
arms could be shipped to Paraguay,
but they could be shipped to Bolivia,
under the Kellogg treaties.

Will Protest Murder of
Mella

A musical portrayal of modern

march of Russia's proletariat into
power, will be a feature of the Lenin
Memorial Meeting this Saturday
evening in Madison Square Garden.
Instrumental and vocal epics and
ballads of quality to inspire every

test against the foul murder of
Julio Mella, the continuance of the
White Terror, and against Wall
Streets plans for new imperialist
war.
There will be a dramatic piano
recital by Jascha Fisherman,
noted artist of the Soviet Union.
With finished technique the former
musical inspector for the U. S. S. R.,
will review the suffering and ira
vail of Russia's masses under the
czar and the desperate fight against
the iron rule in 1905. Then he will
detail in music the renewal of the
fight against tyranny, the over
throw of czardom, the betrayal of
the masses by the bourgeois Keren-
sky government and the final tri-
umph of the workers and peasants
under the Bolsheviki. Fischer
mann's numbers will include the
"Elegy of 1905" and the celebrated
musical epic "1917" by Kruschenc,
as well as the stirring revolution
ary piece, "Insurrection."

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 16.-Isaac
Lehman, agent in Honduras of the
Wall Street banking house of M.
Lowenstein and Sons, has landed
here enroute to Washington to de-
mand of the State Department the
intervention of U. S. armed forces
in Honduras to protect" his bank

Lehman claims that a civil war is

that there has been some i'm
perialist agents killed there, al
though whom, when, where and how
is so far a secret he does not reveal.
He says citizens of interior towns
are Fleeing to coastal ports" and he
wants the u. S. Navy to invade Hon
duras to prevent war" which he
claims is coming from a clash be-
tween three rival factions of the
Conservative Party Of that country.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Ad-
miral Charles F. Hughes, chief of
naval operations, today admitted
that the U. S. destroyer Denver, was
visiting the northern coast of Hon
duras" and that four warships of
the special service squadron in
Nicaraguan waters" under command
of Real Admiral David F. Sellers
will be available "in case of trouble
in Honduras"
1t is understood that Yankee
agents are busy stirring up the
Honduran Conservative Party to
revolt against the new liberal ad-
ministration, in expectation that
the T. ). can find an excuse to send
in marines ard make Honduras a
colony as well as Nicaragua.
The reason for this is very SIM
pie. On the west coast of Central
america in the Bay of Fonseca,
washing the shores of three small
republics, Nicaragua, Honduras and
Salvador. The U. S. by it's lackey
Chamorro, got naval base grant
in the Bay from Nicaragua.
However, Honduras and Saliva
COR objected as they, too, have an
dor objected as they, too, have an
interest in the Bay of Fonseca.
The dispute was taken to the Cen
trail American court of justice, which
decided that Chamorro had no right
to make the Bay of Fonseca a Yam
kee lake without the consent of Hon
duras and Salvador.
The Bay of Fonseca is one of the
most important plans of U. S. i'm
perialism in its general preparation
for var with British imperialism

Latin American peoples.

The economic basis of race riots
and lynching is evident in letter
one OF the subscribers of the Daily
Worker received recently from a
real estate company on Washington
Heights, urging him to move from
Harlem to the West Side because
Negroes were moving into Harlem
houses to a growing extent.
The letter, which is a typical
bit of "high-powered salesmanship,"
comes from the West Side Renting
Co., of 2525 Broadway, and is signed
by Henry Pearce, one of its owners.
1t reads in part as follows:
I'm view of the well known
fact that the dark invasion is
rapidly encroaching upon your
section. it is time to move. We
can give you our personal atten-
tion in order TO satisfy your
wishes"

Don't Sharpen

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-
Timid shavers needn't worry about
going to Jail because they resharpen
safety razor blades.
At tariff hearing before the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House, it was admitted by spokes-
men for the Gillette Safety Razor
Co.. that the warning they print on
each blade, "Not to be Resharpened," !"
is all the bunk.
H. w. Kemway, of Boston, at
torney for the Gillette Co. yesterday
admitted to the committee that the
admonition against honing or re-
stropping is printed on the blades to
encourage users to throw them away
and buy new ones instead.
The hearing was held because the
razor concern demanded continuance
of the huge ad valorum duty of 80
per cent plus one cent blade for
foreign blades.

SECOND STRIKE

Needle Union Mobilizes
Dress1nakers

Mobilization plans for the ap-

are materializing speedily. The sec
ond district meeting of all dress
makers employed on 39th and 40th
SITS. is to be held tonight, immedi-
ately after work at the uptown Of
flee of the union, 480 Seventh Ave.
At this meeting, just as at the
first district meeting, held Tuesday
night, the workers will discuss the
practical problem of ways and means
whereby the strike call will be res
ponded to by the largest mass of
dressmakers.
Prepared to Fight.
The dressmakers. with long ira
dition of struggle against the en-
ployers and against their agents in
labor's ranks, show that they realize
the bigness Of the task which con-
fronts them. The first meeting
showed that it is clear in all minds
that all the forces of the enemy
will be lined up to fight them. But
the workers are prepared to cope
with this because working conditions
are so low that it is by now unbear-
able and also because the strike
will be led by the organized strength
of all sections of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union.
The next district meeting of dress
makers will be held the early part
Of next week.

tors, cloak finishers, met yesterday

mated members for all offices of
