The price to consumers was or

Charges Not Made Public in
Arrests Across Border

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. P-Gus-
tavo Flores, deposed mayor of
Juayez, Mexico, Gil Sanches and
Eduardo Rivero, former police chiefs
and Victor Coalia, former city de-
tective, were lodged in the Juarez
Jail last night on charges not made

Mexican officials said the ar
rests were the result of recent\in-
vestigations into alleged irregulari-
ties in the handling of city finances.
Juarez was placed under virtual
martial law during the investiga-
ton, which included, too, the Chi
huahua state election.
An investigation into vice condi-

week, rumored at the insistence Of
persons high in diplomatic circles

Juarez has been quiet and order

The assertion that there was a

He said:
The normal supply of milk is en-
tering this city daily and as far as
we can find out there is no shortage.
New<York has an adequate supply
of milk for its present needs and
there IS apparently no reason why
the supply should not remaip ade-

Proposed Amendments Approved
BY Building Commission

The building commission yester-
day voted approval of recommends
tions made by Inspector A. N. Ruth
erford and will ask the common
council to consider several amends
ments to the coming law urged by
the inspector.
Chief among the recommendation

agreed that a restriction is desirable.
More restrictive measures on gar
ages and fences were also approved

British Imperialism proposes
spending $1,OOO,o0O,0oO for naval
war arms by 1886. While the an
tagonisms between all the powers
has been growing by leaps and
bounds during the past few years,
the onset of the sharp world crisis
has intensified these rivalries. The
specter of war looms larger than
ever before between the capitalist
powers on the one hand, and against
the Soviet Union, on the other.
Though the conference has not
ended, the critical point has been
reached, with all the delegates
clearly announcing that big in
creases in all navies are certain.
There is shown the complete debacle
of the announced purpose of the con-
ference and newed wide-open naval
race between the imperialists.

that the American imperialists are
seeking to maneuver with the Brit
ish dominions against Great Britain,
and against an alliance between
British imperialism and Japan in the
next world war.
Macdonald has achieved the OBJ
jective of even the most rabid of
the British imperialists. He has laid
the basis for a big increase in the
British navy for the next world war.
The honeymoon spirit which the
capitalist press tried to foster dur
ing the visit of Macdonald to Hoo

aglimmering. The conflicts, antago-

perialist bandits stand out in their
stark nakedness with the war danger

FALL RIVER, Mass.-In Fall

now with the wage cut they will get
$1.50 for a dozen hats. These work

The strike is under the mislead-

The workers have been picketing
every morning and night, while
Compos and the rest of the traitors
are in their office planning how to
betray these hat workers.
Several of the strikers went to
the N.T.W.U. and asked to join the
Trade Union Unity League.
The police have surrounded the
factory where the strike is occurr-
ing, and are terrorizing the strikers.

their agents in the labor movement
itself, such as Balmori and Teiada,
but modifying the masses under
leaders from the masses, whose faith
has been tried in the fire of class
struggle.
And what of the report from the
London Conference, given in the
press of February II, of under
ground talk there about "neutraliz-
ing" the Philippines? This is only
variation of the cruel deception
about granting" independence. Its
purpose war-and is vanished as
suddenly as it appeared-merely a
maneuver with a double objective.
1t was put forth by Stimson firstly
to force Japan imperialism into a
corner and extract pledge from
Japan that in the coming imperialist
world war Japan would not seize the
Philippines. 1t disappeared because
Japan would pledge nothing of the
kind. Secondly, it was valuable as
a bluff against the sugar and cocoa
nut oil high tariff spokesman in the
Senate {Smoot and King) whose
threat against the administration of
forcing through a measure for
Philippine independence has all the
wind taken out of its sails bY the
demonstration on the part of the
Hoover administration that such
kind of independence" as it will
grant" has no terror for American
Imperialism, and the fake Cham
pions" of independence can go to
the devil. A third purpose is, of
course, to delude the Filipino peo-
pie with the pretense that American
Imperialism is quite "disinterested"
in retaining the Philippines, and
does so only out Of "benevolence,"
to make them aft for self-govern-
ment" and to "save" them from fra
pacious" Japan.
To sum up: All the talk of Philip
pine independence by the U. s. gov
eminent, the spokesman of its "op-
position" and by the Philippine bour-
geois politicians, is cruel and
empty delusion. The hint of "neu-
tralizing" the Islands is merely

As was expected, the 57th session

first day of its reopening after

was that no party supported it, by
only 172 members, as against the

N. NJ. u. Statement.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 16.--
The National Miners Union has
issued the following statement on
the attempt of Fishwick to organize
his faction in the U. M. w. on a ma
tional scale through what he calls a
reorganization convention"
"The Fishwick convention to RE-
organize the U. M. w. A. and GUST
Lewis is merely a mask behind
which Fishwick and harrington are
operating. They hide behind the
names of Brophy, Howat and other
discredited progressives. 1t is the
attempt to place respectable win
dow dressing before the corrupt
Fishwick and Harrington machine,
in the interests of the Peabody Coal
Co. The fight between Fishwick and
Lewis is not on behalf of the miners
who have been exploited and be-
trayed by both for many years. 1t
is fight for the property and funds
of the miners.
an this fight, each side is backed
by different sets of coal operators.
Frank harrington, Fishwick's right
hand man, was recently readmitted
to the union in a Fishwick local
after being expelled from the union
over three years before for taking,
while president of Illinois district,
a bride of $4,000 a year from the
Peabody Coal Co. Harrington never
denied getting the money, but nnere-
ly put up the defense that his mo-
tives were innocent. While Earring
ton was president, Fishwick was
his vice president, and necessarily
part of his corrupt machine.
"The fake progressives of the
Music movement, having performed
yeoman service to the textile mill
bosses by selling the workers of
Elizabethton and Marion to slavery
are now emerging into the coal
fields to perform similar service
to the coal operators.
Inc lake progfeSSlVeS, HoWat
and Brophy, etc, who for moment
went along with the struggles of
the left wing of the U.M.W.A., the
"Save the Union" movement, when
they aspired to union office, are
now part and parcel of the most
corrupt outfit that ever betrayed
miners.
Whereas the new outfit is or
ganized by former U. M. w. A. Of
ficials whose 'militancy' consists in
their desire to regain their former
high salaried positions in order to
further betray the miners, the Ma
tional Miners Union, on the other
hand, organized from the rank and
file during the bitter struggle of
1929, is the fighting union of the
miners, born in the struggle and
now leading the miners in strike in
West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois and
elsewhere"

and the Soviet Union in 1920.
Weygand was sent to strengthen
the backbone of the intervention
when the Polish troops flooded back
before the victorious troops of the
Soviet Union. Weygand organized
the Polish army and at the same
time supported counter-revolution-
airy sabotagers and terrorists inside
the Soviet Union with money and
other assistance. In conclusion Ca
chin declared that the appointment
of Weygand meant two things, the
intensification of the fascist policy
at home and the intensification of
the anti-Soviet policy abroad. Ca
chin was continually interrupted by
bowls of fury from the right benches
and by rebukes from the socialist
president of the chamber.
