employed Council arrived and rallied
the neighbors in the vicinity Of al
Goodwin Ave. Protests of the aroused
neighborhood and threats Of IA ten
ants to pay no more rent during the

his attitude and the furniture was
replaced.

lice brutality against strikers in Pat
erson the International Labor De-
tense will hold mass meeting in

Mayor Cermak, the police declared
that such meetings are dangerous
and are to be suppressed.
The conference also decided to
take action against the unemployed
and workers generally, in view of the
intense anger of the working class
as a result of Tuesdays massacre.
The city decided to stop evictions
"for the present" This is an at
tempt to pacify the masses and ex-
poses the lies of the police that they
are not responsible for the massacre.
Later announcements from the
City Hall indicate that local police
and United States authorities will
attempt to arrest all white and Ne
gro Communist leaders in Chicago,
in an effort to deprive the masses of
militant leadership. Twenty
workers have already been arrested
and are being held for trial in an
attempt to frame-up defenseless and
innocent workers, in order to justify
the massacre. The coroner's inquest
viii take place tomorrow morning.
Arrangements have been made by
the Communist Party to make the
funeral of the murdered workers a
huge mass demonstration against the
police terror.

trict, demonstrations will be held by
the Communist Party in cooperation
with the Unemployed Council and
League of Struggle for Negro Rights,
to protest against the murder of the
three Negro workers by the police of
Chicago.
This is regular Tammany police
methods. The workers of New York
remember the police murders of
Gonzales and Levy and earlier of
KatoNs. The attack on the unem-
ployed workers and those whose
wages are SO low that they cannot
pay rent, is becoming so outspoken
that the workers all over the coun-
try are being aroused.
CHICAGO, Aug. Immediately
after the massacre of Negro workers
by police 5000 white and Negro
workers held huge protest demon
stration in Washington Park.
This demonstration was a spon-

 Alaska will get two delegates; Washington nineteen, an increase of two, and California forty-seven, an increase of eighteen.

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 16. - The United tSates is simply deceiving itself, said William G.

He said that mo effective plan of disarma- ment can be made unless Russia is taken into the family of nations. "
 McAdoo predicted that any effort of the United States to purchase world peace by the cancellation of war debts with a promise that the nations of Europe abolish arma- ment would result in failure. He continued:
 The primary cause of all wars of modern times has been economic strain that in turn resulted in fin ancial commercial competition.

CANBERRA, Dec. 16.-Sheltered behind a high tariff wall, Australia tobacco growers are making as much headway as did her rice growers a few years ago.
 Australia now produces all her own rice, and soon, possibly next year, she will cease imports of to- bacco except, perhaps, a little Vir- ginian and Turkish for blending.
 Last tobacco season was highly remunerative and about 30,000 acres have been planted to the new crop.
