PAPA JOFFRE
BREAKS RULE;
TALKS ON WAR
Lists Foch's Book Among
Two FavorlteS; Thinks of
Battle Often.
BY ROBERT BROWN
Omitted Press stan Correspondent

PARIS, Oct. 10.-The soothing
administrations Of his favorite bar
Der caused Marshal Papa Joffre
to break his rule Of ten years stand
ing and talk about the World war
Every Tuesday and Friday the
= aged marshal comes into Paris from
his estate at Louveciennes, near
Saint Germain-en-Paye, a Partisan
suburb, to his barber.
On this particular day a United
Press correspondent was in the shop
when the famous war hero arrived
He entered, dressed as usual, SIM
ply, and wearing only one military
ribbon, the one signifying his pos
session Of the Military medal.
Coed morning every one" said
Papa" Joffre genially.
How are you this morning?"
asked his barber.
Bothered by Rheumatism
If it wasn't for the rheumatism
in my legs I'd be feeling fine" re-
piled the marshal, smiling one OF
his rare smiles.
What are the books about the
war that one should read?" the cor
respondent asked the marshal, who
had settled down comfortably in the
BARRIERS chair and was being lath-
cred.
Il am going to tell you the two
books which interested me most, "
replied Joffre, THE first was Fochs
lie Memorial" and the second was
Captain Won Hase's 1.-THE Battle of
Jutland."
"Foch," interposed the barber,
'didn't like Clemenceau."
He was right" snapped the old
soldier. Dead silence reigned. Then
after a moments hesitation Joffre
said graciously:
Germans Good Fighters
Soldiers and politicians are not
always made to get along with each
other"
Then Joffre was asked If he often
thought of the Battle of the Marine.
YES" he replied, 1T think about
it often. If I had listened to Gal
ileni 1 would have given the order
to attack much too soon. But ]
wished to wait. 1 knew when to
choose the hour, the remainder was
done by my soldiers. French SOL
diers are admirable. They and the
Germans are the best fighters in
the world"
Some one asked what about the
English and American soldiers.
They are wonderful" replied
Joffre, adding that he did not be-
lieve that new war was threaten
ing.

/. L. D. Urges Members
to Aid Demonstration
for Nj exico Workers

The New York District of the In
ternational Labor Defense will par
ticipate full force in the mass pro-
test demonstration against the Mex
lean terror tomorrow Saturday. at
8 D. m. at 10th st. and Fifth Ave.
The district last night issued an
appeal to all its members to take
part in this demonstration. The
appeal, which is signed by Sam
Nesin, district organizer, states:
"The unprecedented white terror
now raging in Mexico, with the sup
preston of all militant organiza-
lions and the murder and torture
of thousands of workers and peas
ants, is being carried out at the
order and under the direction of the
U. S, Wall Street government. While
at home the Hoover regime still
finds it expedient to keep up pre-
lenses of democracy" in its Latin
American colonies, both those it
owns directly and those j. controls
in some camouflaged form. Bloody
suppression of the toiling masses
is the program of American imper-
ialism.

Perhaps the most important de-
velopment of the year just closed,
so far as the cotton textile industry
is concerned, has been the labor
troubles of the Southern mills. 1t
is possible to discuss these from a
number of angles, to add or to de-
tract the stress, etc. The fact re-
mains that these strikes in South
ern cotton mills last year started
new manner of thinking. They
awakened in many mill executives
a realization that the industry was
not law unto itself, and that mills
would have to make internal
changes themselves-and do it soon
or have it done for them"
The problem for the Southern tex
tile mill owner is to make the work.
ers think that concessions are to
be made to them without letting
them actually establish a real union.
This is where the A. F. L. comes
in, and it is pushing forward its
Music controlled United Textile
Workers Union to serve as the
shield for the mill barons.

CONNECT WHALE,
bail RACKETEERS
More Filth on Fascist
Judge, Foe of Workers

Further revelations O the close
connections between Tammany Hall,
it's fascist judge WHALE and the most
vicious elements of the underworld
were yesterday shown, in the adj
mission by Charles B. Mclaughlin,
Bronx District Attorney, that the
holdup of a dinner party of Vitale's
was the result of a war between
Bronx and Harlem bail-bond rack
eteers.
Thus WHALE, vicious towards mill
tant workers brought before him in
court, is connected with a group of
racketeers and thugs which prey on
the workers in the courts.
The raid on Whales blowout on
December 8, by seven hold-up men,
was made by racketeers in the ex-
pectation of finding a bail-bond
racketeer from Harlem, whom they
had it in for.
This is the party WIZ led to the
leaking out of facts showing Vitale's
connection with gangsterdom. For
WHALE, soon after the holdup, re-
turned to Detective johnson, of the
Bronx, a gun which had been taken
from johnson during the holdup.
Later on in the notebook of a
thug arrested for dope peddling, vi
tales name was found listed under
the heading of numbers frequently
called"
An attempt is being made by
Tammany to make johnson the goat
in the whole affair, because great
fear exists among the Tammany
leaders that the deeper going con-
nections of strike-breaking Tam
many with the thugs may come out.
The name of Ex-Governor Smith,
one of Wall Streets presidential
candidates in 1928, has already been
involved in the Vitale case.
Vitale is notorious as fascist
leader in New York and as a vicious
batter of militant workers.

Orleans Police Chief
Orders Pickets Shot;
Bombing Is His Excuse

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. s.
"Shoot to kill" is the order issued
today by Police Superintendent Ray
as he sent out squad after squad of
armed men to try and finally break
the strike of the street carmen. The
excuse given by Ray for his drastic
orders is that since yesterday three
cars run by scabs have been dyna-
mited. The police are not making
any pretense of discriminating be-
tween pickets, however, and will
break up all picket lines.
Rays son was a scab during the
first part of the strike, and came out
second best one night when he
clashed with a picket. Ever since
then Ray has been particularly
vindictive.

SOCIALIST TRIES
TO JAIL WORKERS
FOR PICKETING
Report from USSR to
Food Workers Tonight

Samuel Heller, member of the So
cialist party, came into special ses-
sions court in Borough Hall yester-
day to testify that he had served an
injunction notice against the Food
Workers Industrial Union Local II,
of the Amalgamated Food Workers
and to push the contempt case
against five of them. Those on
trial were Organizer Titelbaum,
Arenbloch, Horowitz, Thin, and
Goldstein.
They were being tried for picket
ing in defiance of the injunction a
butcher shop on Cortellou Road,
about three months ago.
Heller's main argument against
the five was that they We're Com
munists. About his own socialism,
he said he only discussed such mat
ters "philosophically," but really
believed in Tammany Hall. Despite
all this, he is well known as one
of the socialist party stalwarts in
the United Hebrew Trades, the
company unionized right wing or
ganization which obtained the in
junction and pushed the case.
The case was dropped for lack of
evidence.

RUBIO DRIVEN

BY WORKERS
M a SIS Protest Forces
Fascist to Leave

DETROIT, Jan. 3.-The mass
protest demonstration that met the
murderer of the Mexican militant
workers, Ortiz Rubio, Wall Street
President Of Mexico, drove him out
of the city.
Riled at the monster meeting of
American and Mexican workers that
met him with booes and Kisses, the
bellycrawling white terrorist, Rubio.
precipitately left here without Off
cially announcing his sinking away
The Detroit Free Press carries
the blazing headlines: "Ortiz Rubio
quits Detroit. Reds blamed. Cuts
visit short. Goes to Chicago. Mex
lean chief had intended to stay sew
eral days"
All of the capitalist press here are
featuring the spirited protest of the
militant workers who chased the
Mexican Wall Street puppet out Of
the city.
! Whole pages of pictures and news
items are carried on the demonstra-
ton, the effectiveness of which
seems to have overwhelmed the CAPT
talst agents and their police.
One paper says that Rubio's ode
cision to cut tour short is unan-
ounced," showing that the leader of
the terror campaign against the
Mexican and Cuban revolutionists
did not want to undergo the bar
rage of another smashing demon
stration against him.
The reception accorded him by the
Detroit workers, which tore the
mask from the stark fascist oppres-
sor of the Mexican masses, was
quite different from that which
Rubio had been getting at the hands
of his bosses, Hoover, Lamont and
Morrow.
Because of their failure to break
up the protest meet, the Detroit
police are faced with scandal
Severe criticism is leveled at Detroit
capitalist authorities by the Hoover
administration.
On the 18th of January, Mayor
Bowles, Ku Kluxer, will be install
led. He has announced that as police
commissioner he will appoint Col
Cole. Cole, at the present time, is
chairman of the military affairs
committee of the Detroit Chamber
of Commerce.
A hint that Rubio was Sinking
out of town, after the blightin2
greeting that the workers gave him
was revealed when six detectives
visited the offices of the Communist
Party at about the time the Mexican
fascist head left town. A police
truck was stationed in the street
in front of the Party headquarters
The capitalist press as well as
the city authorities are much dis
concerted at the unexpectedness anC
militancy of the demonstration. They
severely criticize the police officials
fo~ being unprepared to smash the
demonstration.
A statement issued by the Com
munist Party on the demonstration
says: "The mass protest meet which
met the murderer of our fellow
workers in Mexico drove the Mex
lean Wall Street president out Of
