Qbbng Obsolete Way FURNISHES Pafd Peace and
Arabs Have Not Ended
Struggle Against the
British i'm Palestine

JERUSALEM, Oct. 1.-THE mu-
tual boycott by Arabs reflect the
latest hostility pervading Palestine,
and it must be said that since the
Arabs constitute the enormous ma
jority of the population that the
boycott is harder on the Jews than
on the Arabs.
1t is no longer denied that the
uprising was a revolt against Brit
ish imperialist policy using the Zion
is, movement as an instrument,
rather than coming from religious
differences. One of the secretaries
of the Arab executive states Arab
demands as follows:
What we want from the British
Government is a retraction of the
Balfour declaration and the estab-
lishment of national democratic
government here. Jews have always
lived in this country and we are
willing to allow them here, but Pal
estine cannot become the Jewish
national home, for the land rightly
belongs to us who have been living
here for many centuries"
1t must be noted that this comes
from the Arab executive which has
betrayed the interests of the masses,
and proves that mass feeling forces
this much militancy in words.
In view of Macdonald, the LA
Dor" imperialist, having declared at
the last Geneva conference, that his
government recognizes the mandate
system and will uphold the Balfour
declaration, the struggle of Arabs
in Palestine by no means can be
considered settled" Neither, of
course, would the program of the
Arab executive settle it, excluding
as it does the interests of the worker
and peasant masses of both races.

THREAT OF MORE ARMAMENTSF

Vessels, Equally War Preparations

LONDON, Oct. while Mac
Donald's visit to Hoover is being
played up to the whole world as "a
) step toward" disarmament, more
cautiously stated as armament "re-
duction," the announcement by the
Admiralty of what "may" be
scrapped in the line of fighting
ships, simultaneously conveys the
idea that if America does not in this
field, as Snowden said at the
Hague when talking reparations,
"give Britain her rightful place
once more" then the additional
phrase used that new ships to re-
place those to be scrapped will not
be built "if' agreement is reached,
acquires the character of chal-
lenge to American imperialism.
1t is also enlightening to note that
the six ships of 6-inch gun class
slated to play stage property role
for scrapping in this pacifist farce
of disarmament" are all pre-war
built ships now off or soon to be
off, the active list, while eleven
more, which were launched early in
the war, are also out-of-dated and
slated in any event for early scrap
ping.
In addition, the Admiralty's an
nounced solicitude about what is to
be done with the shipyards "in case
of building mo more" warships, re-
veals that the intention is to build
warships just the same, only they

IS REPOR Ed
Record Output Aids
Five-Year Plan

Oil production in the Soviet Union
for the fiscal year ending Septem-
Der 80, 1929, is estimated at 100,-
100000 barrels, according to the
Amotorg Trading Corporation which
has just issued a pamphlet entitled
the Petroleum Industry of the U.
S. S. R." in connection with the
International Petroleum Exposition
which is being held at Tulsa, Okla
homa, from October to October II.
This production constitutes an all
time record for Russia and repre-
sents an increase of II per cent
over the previous year, and 49 per
cent over the last pre-war year.
Refining and drilling operations
kept pace with the increase in crude
production during the year, the
kerosene output, at II, 100000 bar
rels, showing an increase of % per
cent and gasoline, at 8,460,000 bar
rels, a. gain of % per cent over the
preceding year. Oil exports conti-
nued the rapid gain shown in 1928
1929, an increase of 27 per cent
over the preceding year and over
3A times the exports in 1918. Pur-
chases of American equipment for
the Soviet oil industry during the
fiscal year just ended amounted to
$9,600,000, this constituting the
most important class of machinery
purchases made for the Soviet Union
in this country.
The five-year plan for the deve-
lopment of the oil industry recently
ratified by the Soviet government
calls for doubling the production by
1932-33, the output for that year
being set at 26,00O,OO0 tons. Re-
filming operations will be expanded
correspondingly, especially by the
cracking method. The capacities of
the recently completed Grozny-
Tuapse pipe line and theBaku-Ba-
tum line, now nearing completion,
will be doubled and the construction
of new pipe line from the Caspian
Sea to Moscow, will be begun. The
rapid development of automobile
and aviation transport in the U. S.
S. R. and the mechanization of agri-
culture by the use of tractors will
put tremendous demands on the in
dustry in the next few years.

AT LIES TOLD
Audience in Courtroom
Denounces Prosecution

(Gonttnued from Page One)
some one yelled, "Turn him loose, "
and firing followed.
Little didn't identify where the
firing came from or who shot first.
Mrs. Little, who was on a porch
across the street wiwth her husband,
testified to the same effect.
Try Dramatic Tricks.
The prosecution attempted to i'm
press the jury by dramatizing how
Gilbert approached the quad, who
pointed a gun at him, demanding he
stop and show a warrant. The
prosecution lawyer acted as Gilbert
and had Mrs. Little use a cane as
a gun, ard point it at him as she
said the guard threatened Gilbert
with it.
Mrs. Gamble testified she was at
home near the union lot, and saw
the police get out of the automobile
and walk on the union grounds. Her
account of how Gilbert grappled
with the guard, whom she couldn't
identify, differed from Mrs. Little's
account. She ran into her house at
the first shot, which she said was
fired is.o the air, and "shots fell
upon her head from the sky as she
fled for the house"
Mrs. George MacMahon said she
went to the meeting June 7, and
heard Buch say, "We have to fight
to win this strike, and we're going
to pull those scabs out if it takes
blood to do it"
She also Quoted Beal as saying
from the stand, "We're going down
and beat hell out of the police and
thugs. If they come up here, we'll
shoot, and shoot to KILL.
Would Convict on Perjury.
1t is almost entirely upon these
distorted reports of perjured wit
nesses that thu prosecution depends
to prove conspira'.
Several nill wo, kers who were in
court this morning came out at
noon recess boiling with rage. They
stopped your correspondent and
said: "The Manville-Jenckes law
yers think that because they can
buy wives of the scabs to wear to
hes they will get the jury to believe
it. We was there, and Beal and
Vera d; lit say 10 spch word;. What
they said was that the strikers
should go to the mill and picket and
try to pull the nigh. shift cut on
strike. He said that we couldn't ex-
pect the law to protect us against
the Loray gang and we would have
to protect ourselves. He never did
say we shtgld kill anybody.
Deputy Sheriff Upton tried to
connect Miller with the conspiracy
by testifying that when he came to
the union headquarters after the
shooting, Miller admitted ordering
Aderholt off the lot and that Mil
Ter had ammunition in his pockets.
Policemen Roach and Gilbert were
placed on the stand in the afternoon,
and told approximately the same
story as in the first Charlotte trial
the story that jury did not be-
lieve. They claimed with some con-
tradictions between them, that they
went on the lot with Aderholt and
that the strikers fired first.

pickets, admits that he he saw Nc

Illinois and Indiana, in spite Of
drastic cuts unde rthe 1928 agree
ments, show higher wage than
Kentucky or West Virginia, but the
difference is less than it was five
years ago. And the miners in Ohio,
the state where bituminous miners
first organized a union now earn
les son the average than the men
in the non-union southern fields.
Unemployment.
Miners of the old central competi-
tive field have not only faced the
most drastic wage cuts, but they
have seen the greatest number of
men thrown permanently out of the
coal industry during the past five
years. In Illinois, Indiana and Penn
sylvania, four out of every ten work
ers employed in and about bitumin-
GUS mines in 1928 are no longer in
the industry. Nearly 100000 have
been frozen out since 1928 and some
100000 of these men were in these
four northern states. Mines in Illi-
nois, Indiana, and Ohio operate on
the average less than 200 days in
the year, so that even Illinois-which
still leads the list with average
earnings of $7.04 a day-does not
give the miners family living
wage.
More Cuts Recently.
Meantime, important companies
have put over further wage cuts in
several states since the federal
bureau gathered these wage figures
early in 1929. In April, Pittsburgh
Coal and Carnegie Coal bot posted
reductions Of z per cent and wave
Of similar cuts swept the Pittsburgh
district as other companies followed
their example.
"Coal Age" organ of operators
and technicians, reported in August
that group of Ohio companies had
just cut wages 10 per cent. And in
the center Of District 2, at least
one important central Pennsylvania
company--the Sonman Shaft, near
Portage-has brought the inside day
rate down from Sc to s. and is
paying outside day labor from As
to So cents an hour.
N. M. u. Fights Cuts.
The National Miners Union re-
Gently reported series Of wage
cuts in mines around Pittsburgh
and is rallying the miners for q
fight against this continued drive
Of the employers.
At Avel-, Pa, recently, the de-
