SEND PROTEST TO
MILLS ON SOVIET
EMBARGO THREAT
Friends of the Soviet
Union Scores Lies

NEW YARK,-A vigorous telegram
of protest was sent to Odgen J. Mills,
Secretary of the Treasury Depart
ment, against the attempts to carry
through an embargo on all Soviet
made products.
The National Committee of the
Friends Of the Soviet Union, through
its National Secretary, Marcel Scher-
er, today demanded by telegram an
open hearing where the American
workers and others genuinely inter
ested in the Soviet Union would be
able to state their views and answer
the vicious lies of the anti-Soviet
oaiters.
His statement follows:
This attempted embargo is part
Of a definite, planned, war move
against the Soviet Union. Millions
Of American workers and friends
of the Soviet Union want no en-
barge and no war on the Soviet
Union. And this protest is sent to
the government officials to demand
that they drop any attacks of at
tacking the Soviet Union.
The ridiculous lies of forced
labor have been long ago exploded.
The only country where the work
ers have real freedom and are re-
ceiving wage increases and better
conditions, is the Soviet Union.
The American workers and friends
Of the Soviet Union want no inter
ference into the affairs of the
country where the workers rule
and run the industries.
We pledge ourselves to unmask
these war attemps which come at
a time when Japan is massing bat
tleships, aeroplanes and troops
close to Siberia. Already white
guard bands attempted to break
into Soviet territory.
THE American workers and
friends of the Soviet Union will
fight all those war plans and will
help support and defend the work
ingclass government in the Soviet
Union"

NEW YORK. March l8.-The
Brownsville Section of the Com

cert and mass meeting on Saturday
evening, March 10, at s pm. at los

,mittees and stay on strike until un-
ion conditions are won.
Although the chief grievances of
the workers are for a minimum wage
sclae of $55 for operators and S35
for tr1mmers, zaritsky and other
company union officials have order
ed the workers back to the shops
with no guarantee that these con-
ditiOns will be put into effect.
The agreement that the union has
with the bosses association is merely
q paper agreement. The workers
who return to the shops under this
agreement will be working under the
same sweatshop conditions that ex-
listed before the stoppage.
It IS a well known fact to all mil
Iinery workers in New York that not
a single point of the zaritsky agree
ments have been carried out in the
shops and lal during the one-day
stoppage little was said Of the starv-
alton conditions under which the
hat workers have been forced by the
bosses and company union officials
to work.
The so-called Strike was planned
by the bosses and company union
officials not to better the conditions
Of the workers. but to build up the
millinery bosses association and to
collect more dues from the workers.
The union heads declared that the
main reason for the stoppage was
to fight racketeering in the trade.
Chief among the racketeers in the
millinery trade, however, is Zaritsky
himself, who is notorius for his strong
arm tactics in the matter of collect
ing dues from workers for the privil-
ege of working under open shop con-
ditionS.
All workers in the Millinery Work
ers International Union and the
Millinery Workers Union Local "a
should at once elect rank and file
bodies in their shops and continue
the strike over the heads Of the Of
ficials until the minimum wage scale
is won in actuality. Turn the STOP
page into real strike for union con-
ditionS.

Hammers of sheriffs in near ly every county in Mississippi fell on auction blocks, beating out news that approximately 25 per cent of the states privately owned property was under sale for delinquent taxes. The figure exceeded any year in the states history.
 Reports show 39,699 farms, or 16.2 per cent of the agriculture acreage of the state went CT. the block, while 12 per cent Of the city property was forfeited for nonpayment of 1881 taxes.
 Since the state already pos sesses from 15,O0O to 4O,OO0 for feited acres in each country Commissioner Moore estimated that if the present lands reverj to the state it will have more than one-fourth of it's property off the tax rolls.

Sanitary Market

closed period provided for by this act or regulations made there under.
 This original clause now eX- isting in the acts of 1924 and 1926 was intended to place an embargo against the resident fishermen of Alaska from catch ing salmon of any variety with a trolling hook and line beyond the Smile limit and bringing them into Alaska to be mild cured or sold to the cold-storage plants for icing and transporta- tion to market without canning. It was, probably, the first effort in the history of any civilized nation to prevent it's people from fishing for living offshore in the great ocean opposite 10 their homes. It was also intended to destroy the Alaska trollers unions along the coasts of Alas ka, and thereby drive all the salmon into the nets and traps belonging to the Bristol Bay and ether big monopoly corporations
 Section of this bill is intend ed to accomplish even greater injury to American fishermen in Alaska than the clause in the act of 1924 Its purpose, as shown Cn it's face, is intended
 1. To prevent Alaskan or other American trollers from catching salmon by trolling hook and line beyond the Smile limit off the shores of Alaska for sale to the Alaska cold-storage plants or for mild curing.
 2. To prevent such American fishermen from taking salmon by trolling hook and line or other gear, 3 miles off the shores of Alaska, and transporting them in American vessels to Washing ton, Oregon, or California.
 3. To limit this embargo to the south line of Alaska north of 54 degrees and 40 minutes north

introduced for the restoration o1
 the old tribal councils by which
 the Indians managed their af-
 fairs, and with considerable
 success, for many centuries be-
 fore the white man came. These tribal councils would have a considerable degree of control over the Indians funds. They would conduct the other buSi- ness of the tribe. Perhaps most of all, they would set up machinery through which, upon petition of a majority of the members of a tribe, any gov- ernment official in charge of their welfare could be removed from office. These bills, in our judgement, thoroughly deserve to pass. The principle which holds good in the education of cur children is also true of the Indians: that we learn to be responsible by having responsi- bility thrust upon us.

This Was Non Hawaii

During the past few months
 the press of the United States has been stressing racial animosi ties in the Hawaiian Islands and ill the Americas by picturing the brute savagery of the Islanders. The mixed polyglot of the is- lands was laid as the reason for the alleged many assaults upon women of the Island. It would appear that the seat of all crime and assaults upon Womankind was in the Islands. No other conclusion can be drawn. But!
 In a recent issue of a Seattle paper we read on the front page that Five Men Attack Girl; Vic tim Is Near Death" Los Angeles: Man Accused of Molesting Two Children" in Seattle, Seattle Dentist Convicted of Matricide;;" Youth Convicted of Second De- gree Murder" in which the lad had murdered his mother. AL most any metropolitan paper has account of vicious attacks and assaults upon girls and women.
 All of this in the United States the land of liberty and freedom, civilization and culture. Forget about the Hawaiians and start cleaning up the muck and gar bage of our own back yards.
