.USSR Gets STEEL
FROM U. S. CORP,
Exchange Ore; Aid to
5-Year Plan

Huge purchase of manganese ore
from the U.S.S.R. Georgian Man.
ganese Trust by the United States
Steel Corporation was yesterday
confirmed by high officials of the
corporation and representatives of
the Amtorg Trading Corporation,
purchasing U. Co. S. agent for the
Soviet Union.
The steel corporation intends to
buy from $4,000 to 10000 tons of
manganese annually during the next
five years, reports state. At rate
of SIS long ton, this would give the
Soviet Union $2,250,00O a year for
the concession which will enable the
U.S.S.R. to get continued supplies of
American steel to push the five year
plan.
While U. S. Steel gets much of its
ore from its own mines in Brazil,
India, and undeveloped deposits in
South Africa, none of these ores is
equal to the Soviet Trust product,
which contains from SO to SIS per
cent of the metal.
Amtorg announces that large vol
umes Of steel products have been
brought from the steel corporation
for shipment to the U.S.S.R during
the last few months.

BOSS SQUABBLE
ON WOOL TARIFF

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-A Sec
ret alliance of Pennsylvania wool
manufacturers and agricultural in
terests forced the 200 per cent in
crease in duty on wool rags, it was
charged in the tariff debates yes
terday. Speaking for the New Eng
land cheap clothing fabric manufac-
turers, Senator Walsh held that the
republicans are willing to wipe out
an entire industry"
Raw materials for the fabric
(Which Pennsylvania virgin wool
manufacturers seek to keep out to
insure demand for virgin WOOL are
imported from Europe, made into
shoddy clothing and sold for $40 to
underpaid workers. Even Walsh ad-
mitted that "they are cheap clothes,
but they are all the poor man can
afford to purchase" III order to
strengthen his fight for the New
England shoddy mills.
Majority members spent most of
the day in secret caucus over the
tariff on hides, leather and shoes.
The schedule is expected to be COM
'pleted by Senator Smoot tomorrow,
after which the sugar fight between
U. S. beet growers and Cuban and

Boston Halls Bar SaccO
Meet; Workers Bodies
Plan Militant Memorial

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-two years
after Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Vanzetti were burned in the electric
chair, the Massachusetts, ruling
class is still so fearful of the men,
DRY of the two great working class
martyrs that no church, synagogue,
theatre, private hall. or public
building can be secured for Sacco-
Vanzetti memorial meeting August
%.
John l.. Englert, superintendent Of
public buildings recently refused the
Sacco-V anzetti Memorial Commit
tee permission to use Faneuil hall.
1t is thought that the pressure ex-
erted by city officials also induced
35 churches, synagogues, theatres,
and halls to whom applications were
made, to either refuse fatty or ig-
more the application. This despite
the fact that the Sacco-V anzetti Me-
mortal Committee is composed of
very mild liberals and Socialists"
and their meeting would be attended
by strictly respectable" people.
While the committee is naively
seeking some action by the courts
the same courts that ordered the
murder of Sacco and Vanzetti -
the workers of Boston az prepar-
ing to attend the memorial meeting
being arranged - ban or no ban

tional Labor Defense and other mil

CONFLICTS RACE
AT HAGUE MEET
Postpone Conferences
TO Prevent Open Rift

THE HAGUE, Aug. ID. - Con-
flicts between the diplomats and fl
nanciers of the imperialist powers
here today ragged so fiercely that
the political commission decided not
to meet again until later in the
week, probably Saturday. While
the move was cloaked under pre-
tense of satisfactory progress" il
was announced that the decisive mo-
ment, scheduled for the commission
meeting tomorrow may be post
poned.
In this connection BRAND, of
France, and Snowden, of England,
are reported to be preparing for a
"quiet meeting" to discuss the sit
uation.
Plans to prevent an open break
in the conference of world imperial
lists and compromise with at least
some of the British demands at the
expense of the smaller powers were
discussed today. France, Italy and
Belgium may be willing "to compen-
safe" the small powers, it was in
timated today, but the form which
such compensation" will take was
left indefinite. The specific plan
as discussed today and yesterday
is to meet the British demands for
a share of PREPARATIONS payments
by using the $7,500,O0O of the un-
conditional annuities which is still
undivided.

SOCIALISTS" TO
EASE RETURN TO
REICH BY KAISER
Workers Indignant at
Action

BERLIN, Aug. 14.-The interview
given by the German Reichminister
of the Interior, the social democrat
Severing, to the Berlin correspond
ent of the Paris "Oeuvre" has caused
great Indignation amongst the work
err.
The proletarian press regards
Severing's declaration as meaning
that the German Government intends
to place no difficulties in the way
of a return to Germany by the ex-
Kaiser. In the law for the protec-
ton of the state which has now ex-
PRED, there was a paragraph pro-
hibiting Wilhelm II returning to
Germany. After the law for the
protection Of the republic which was
used with unconscionable severity
against the workers, fell through,
Severing and a number of other
social democrats, approached the
German Peoples Party, according to
the social democratic left-wing
"Klassenkampf."
The social democrats declared
themselves prepared to drop the So
called Kaiser paragraph, if the Ger
man Peoples Party would agree to
vote in favor of the other para
graphs. A unification upon this
basis was achieved and the new
draft of the law for the protection
of the republic which Severing in
tends to place before the Reichstag,
will be without the one and only
paragraph directed against the re-
action.
The "Rote Fahne" points out that
this is not the first time that social
democrats have assisted the Hohen-
zollerns. The government press I'M
der the control of the social democ-
racy made Wilhelm II the richest
man in Germany by the compensa-
ton of the former princes and Will
helm received 500,O00,O00 marks.
