IMPERIAL MEET
NEAR FAILURE

LONDON, Nov. II I.N.Sj
The final plenary session of the
imperial conference was con.
cluded at the foreign office today,
and, although regretting that
they had been unable to arrive
at definite economic decisions,
the dominion premiers stated in
their closing speeches that valu.
able work had been done.
When the British government
refused to accept the 10 per cent
preferential tariff demand for
the dominions, voiced at an early
meeting by Premier Bennett, of
Canada, the failure Of the con-
ference from an economic stand
point was openly predicted.

er personal matter where the destinies of men
hang upon the whim of an executive The social
aspect eclipses the personal, in an organization
which involves the livelihood of hundreds families
The company which folds up at the first hint of
hard times is betraying a trust. In time of de-
preston we should fight to keep en in jobs.
Eighty men have been added to the fitting de-
partment of the Washington Gas Light Company
to take of installing the phenOl renal number
of Automatic Gas Home Heaters sold during the
past two months. That seasonal job is drawing to
a close, but although these new men are not regu-
lar employees we hope to retain them on the pay roll
because we believe it possible to develop enough
business by the sale of gas appliances to keep them
busy.
To stimulate sales we have substantially reduced
the prices of all gas ranges and gas refrgeratOrs
1t is true that if we accomplish our aim, as we
expect to, the company will benefit. But primarily
we make this intensive merchandising drive now
with this in mind:

PASSAIC, Aug. 17.-Paul Mat

worker, who was taught on his job
to hate Negroes, yesterday started
something he did not finish.
Returning home from work and
finding his daughter, Aline, 5, wres-
Ting with two Negro children,
Willie, 5, and his sister, Irene Wal
ker, 2, over a battered rag doll,
Mattalyno grabbed the doll and
struck two-year-old Irene over the
head, knocking her unconscious.
Then, Selling a milk bottle, he felled
the child's uncle, Richard Hunter,
46, who had dashed to her aid.
Negro workers, thoroughly
aroused, chased Mattalyno into his
home, where he had barricaded him
self, and began shooting into the
crowd. One of his bullets pierced
the leg of little Willie Walker.
Meanwhile, Mattalyno's wife,
caught in an alley between two
houses, was knocked down and
kicked by a group of Negro women
workers.

Both Sides Reinforce

Capitalist news sources report
gloom in the imperialist circles both
in India and England over the gen.
eral situation. The ability of
Gandhi to betray the independence
movement as he did several years
ago is suspected. The practical re-
volt against him of the council of
war of the Indian national congress
startled the imperialist optimists.
In Peshawar martial law has been
declared, which does not mean any
thing practically as the whole terri
tory on the Northwest is a battle
field, with insurgent peasants die
tating over much of it, and he Brit
ish military authorities ruling with
an iron hand in the fortified zones
they still hold. Politically, however,
it is significant as an admission by
the government of the seriousness
of the situation. Both sides are
awaiting reinforcements. MacDon-
aid is sending more airplanes, and
there are further threats to blow
W the insurgents family villages if
they do not go home. Many vii
lagos have been bombed during the
last few days. Peasants from the
Kohat district and the Orakzai
tribes are marching to aid the At

The higher paid workers in sew
eral instances are being laid off and
ar, being replaced with others at
a lower rate of pay.
Beginning Sept. l the workers
will be forced to work 8 hours a day,
