A Nationwide study of "the problem
of excess condemnation" will be under
taken by the National Association of
Real Estate Boards. The term is used
to express the procedure whereby a city
may appropriate land for public pur-
poses in excess of the amount actually
needed for it's project, and later may
dispose of the excess land to defray
the cost of the improvements.
California and Michigan have just
been added to the list of States which
have either a constitutional amendment
allowing excess condemnation or have
passed legislative action authorizing 1t.
Other States where excess condemna-
ton has been authorized are: Massa-
chusetts, Ohio, Rhode Island, New Jer-
sey, Virginia, Connecticut, Maryland,
Wisconsin, New York, Oregon and Illi-
noiS.
Excess condemnation rights, prop
erly used, are an effective method of
relief from portion of the heavy
burden of special assessments for public
improvement, but they form powerful
instrument which must be judiciously
used, according to Henry G. lander,
Chicago, president of the National AS

TEXTILE STRIKES
Cleveland Convention
Will Form Permanent
Body, Always Ready
Supports Textile Union
Mill Workers to Send
Delegates, June l

The Trade Union Educational
League yesterday issued a statement
calling on all workers to rally be-
hind the thousands Of striking
Southern textile workers and to
make that assistance permanent by
the Trade Union Unity
Convention called by the T.U.E.L.
for Cleveland, June 1-2.
One of the unions endorsing the
Cleveland convention is the National
Textile Workers Union, which is
now providing real leadership for
the southern strikers, and extending
it's organization there. The T.U.E.L.
statement also gives many reasons
why the working class as whole
should assist in all ways the Mt.
W.U. organization campaign in the
southern states.
The Cleveland convention will
have representatives not only from
the organized unions, but from COM
mittees built in the unorganized
shops, from left wing groups inside
reactionary unions, from the unem-
ployed and from the Negroes IN ad-
dition to their representation on
other bodies. 1t will establish new
militant trade union center and a
co-ordinating center for left wing
work.
The T.U.E.L. statement issued
yesterday is as follows:
"a great strike movement is
sweeping through the textile towns
of the south. In addition to a num-
Der of incipient strikes, within the
past two weeks major strikes have
broken out in three southern states

South Carolina. Thousands Of south.

PLAN CAFETERIA
GENERAL STRIKE
Union Out to Organize
Whole Garment Section

With the increasing influx of
cafeteria workers to the recruiting
office at the headquarters of the
Hotel, Restaurant and Cafeteria
Workers Union, that organization
is rapidly maturing plans to tie up
restaurants in the garment district
in a general strike for decent work
ing conditions.
Meantime the sentiment for a
fight till union conditions are
gained is being encouraged.
For Union Conditions.
In the meantime the workers car
rying on the first strike for union
conditions and union recognition,
are receiving great encouragement
from the needle trades workers who
have till now been the patronage of
the Fanray Cafeteria. While pick
citing they receive assurances that
no worker will eat there as long as
the boss continues to defy the
union. The subterfuge of "Closed
for Alterations" is easily seen
through by the pickets as well as
the workers who sympathize with
the strikers.
Time Ripe for Strike.
The huge mass meeting held last
week, the attendance at which even
took by surprise union organizers
is the basis for the union judgment
that the time is ripe for genera
strike.

BRITISH FIGHT
RADIUM TRUST
Establish RivalC Concern
with Portuguese Ore

LONDON, England, March 90
War on the Belgian radium mon
opoly was declared by British cap
italism today following parliament
tary discussion in which the strangle-
hold of the Belgian Union Miniere
du Haut Kantanga was emphasized.
The company's works are at Oolen,
Belgium.
Virtually the worlds entire out
put Of radium is in the hands of the
Belgian concern and is sold at prices
which range from $4,000 to $4,000
per gram.
A leading British industriahst,
whose name is not disclosed, imme-
diately offered to buy radium-bear-
ing properties in Portugal and to
transfer them to a semi-philan-
thropic company to be capitalized in
England. The imperialist move is
further disguised by the offer to
make the transfer without profit.
British interests estimate that,
even though the Portuguese ore
yield is far inferior to the Belgian,
that they can undercut the Belgians
by big margin.

Izvestia Welcomes the
Delegation

MOSCOW, u. S. S. R., March 20.
.-Eighty-five members of the Bri-
tish delegation to investigate trade
possibilities with the Soviet Union
arrived in Moscow today.
The reception of the guests was
arranged by the newly formed ALL
Union Western Chamber of Com
merce.
Addressing the delegates editor
tally, the Izvestia, official govern
ment organ, today said, eve are
glad to give you an opportunity to
see that the stories in the English
conservative press about our disas-
trous economic situation are lies
and slander" 1t went on to say
that it trusted the delegation would
make clear on its return that with
out diplomatic relations between
Great Britain and the Soviet Union
trade could not be expected to de-
velop.
The Soviet Union is large buyer
in the machinery and other mar
kets, and it is pointed out that nc
considerable extension of British ex.
ports to the U. S. S. R. can be ex,
pected without an extension Of
credits.
So intense is the interest in the
trading possibilities with the Soviet
Union among British business mer
that the effort which was made to
keep the delegation down to Ct
members, so that it would not be.
come unwieldy, had to be aban-
doned.
1t is said that the delegation rep
resents British industry and finance
to the figure of $1,500,000,000.

Denying statement by Sir Henri

cate, that former English owners of
Soviet Union oil fields were COM
pensated, Saul G. Bron, chairman
of the board of directors of the APP

representative in this country,
made the following announcement
yesterday:
"Since the signing of the Anglo
American Company-Soviet oil agree
ment in London last month, Sir
Henri Deterding, managing director
of the Royal Dutch Shell Company,
has been reported ON a number Of
occasions as claiming that the
agreement provides for compen-
sation to former owners of Russian
oil fields. In yesterdays press, in
particular, he is quoted as stating
that the principle of compensation
was admitted by the agreement and
that the combine was allowed a dis
count of five per cent by the Soviet
Naphtha Syndicate to be applied to
compensating former owners.

"In order to dispel the misap-
prehensions which have arisen as a
result of Sir Henri Deterding' S
numerous statements, am author
lied to reiterate that the question
of compensation did not enter into
the agreement in any manner what
soever. 1t is true that Sir Henri
Deterding raised this question, but
later he gave up his demand, adopt
ing the policy of the American
participants in the agreement.
Moreover, no discount to be ap.
piled for compensation has been al,
lowed, the prices received by the

actly the same as those stipulated

.ihtancy of
Negro Check
to Lynchings

The increasing militancy of the
Negro workers has led to a consid-
cradle decrease in lynchings during
the past year. During 1928, there
were eleven lynchings. This is not
due, however, to any let-up in race
hatred, as is shown by the twenty
four attempts which were frustrated.
In one city, the Negro workers
gathered in such force that the
would-be lynchers were taken to the
Jail. The astonished sheriff refused
to arrest them and demanded the
Negro who had been saved from the
mob. He was told that lynchers
would not be treated so courteously
in the future.
Of the lynchings, 5 were in Mis-
sissippi, in Texas, in Louisiana,
l in Missouri and 1 in New Mexico.
Of the "a attempted lynchings, 3
were in northern and 81 in south
ern states.

Stimson Says He Will
Continue Imperialist
Policies of Kellogg

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Sec-
retary of State Stimson today ex-
pressed the desire of continuing the
policies of Frank Kellogg, his pre-
decessor.
He took the oath of office yes
terday, and Immediately found him
self face to face with the problem
of getting the U. S. Imperialism in
a strategic position for it's battle
with British imperialism. Kellogg's
control of the department of state
has been for the last several years
merely nominal, as he was a man
of very mediocre ability, he was
made merely a rubber stamp for
policies worked out by his subor-
dinates, or more recently by Hoover.
Stimson is thought to be as reac-
tionary but more able.
