Chile Students
Seize University

Under the leadership Of the Chilean
Communist Party, the Chilean work.
ing-class and large sections of stu
dents are moving forward in militant
struggle against the new miltarist-
fascist dictatorship headed by Carlos
Davils, former Ambassador to the
United States.
Chilean students Yesterday seized
the National University buildings at
Santiago and issued a manifesto.
Workers and students demanded that
the Municipal Theatre and the build
ing of the bourgeois Club de la Union
be turned over to the workers for
headquarters.
Through Colonel Grove, Minister
of Defense, the dictatorship answered
the demands of the workers and
students with threats of blood bath
against the revolutionary workers
and students. Grove declared in a,
statement issued to the Chilean and
foreign press representatives:
"We will use hand of steel in
putting down Communist actions
designed to create a substitute for
the regime as established by the
Junta."
The dictatorship is constantly be-
ing forced to repudiate its sham
promises of "socializing industry and
agriculture" seizing bank deposits,
etc. These promises were used to
deceive the destitute, starving masses
on whose shoulders have been placed
the brunt of the terrific crisis in
which Chilean finances are gripped.
Socialist" leaders from Colombia,
Ecuador and Peru have arrived in
Chile to help the local Socialists" in
betraying the toiling masses into the
trap set by the demagogic dictator
ship. They addressed mass meetings
in Santiago and other Chilean cities,
eXtolling the fascist dictatorship.
A National Socialist Economic
Council was set up from above by
the dictatorship. Several Socialist"
leaders have been appointed to the
Council to strengthen the illusion
that it is revolutionary working
class council.
The announced intention of the
militarist-fascist dictatorship to seize
bank deposits was confined on Sat-
urday to a few raids on pawn shops
whose gold supplies we're seized
with the promise of compensation.

tons emanating from the Illinois
National Guard recently.
Officers and men," these said in
part, should not fear reprisal in
case one or more people are killed.
The laws of most States and common
law which prevails in others provide
that if it is not proved that the kill
ling was through mere malice, wan
tenness or cruelty. a soldier is not
punishable for such an act even
though he uses bad judgement.
Rioters in the rear of the mob
may be picked off by sharpshooters

out that "in time of disorder the
American Legion can render valuable

MILLS URGES NEW
NATURALIZATION
Calls for More Speed
Up AS "Relief" to
Unemployed

WASHINGTON, June l2.--The
launching of new and more inten1
sive naturalization drive implying
more misery and more starvation for
the workers was urged yesterday by
Secretary of the Treasury, Ogden
Mills, before the Senate.
Urging the Senate to provide loans
to private industry, out of the funds
of the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, Mills disclosed the real pur-
pose of the so-called relief bill pros
posed by Senator Wagner, Democrats
of New York. The purpose is ito re-
place and improve" the Industrial
structure under the pretense of res
lieying unemployment and 'proVid-
ing work" for the jobless.
The Wagner bill, which was re-
Gently so modified as to embody the
main points of the program outlined
by Hoover at a weekend parley with
Dawes and others, authorizes the Res
construction Finance Corporation to
increase its lending limit by $780,
100000 for the purpose of making adj
vances to public and quasi-publie en-
tcrprises for construction of an i'm
come earning character" i
George G. Houston, president Of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works, de-
clsred before the Banking Commit
tee of the Senate quite frankly that
"the depression should be used as an
opportunity for the overhsuling Of
plant and replacement of obsolete
This means calling for more in-
tensive naturalization drive which
will increase unemployment while
to relieve it,"

The story, summarized, is as fol-
lows:
Rybakon hero of the Revolution,
is ordered to a Black Sea sanitoriun
after heart attack On the way
there he begins a diary in which he
records the incidents Of his previous
visit to that region-as a comn'and@r
in the Red Army. He recalls his
difficulties in dealing with a group
of counter revolationistS who we're
sabotaging military supplies, and how
he captured them after Belova, the
wife of the leader betrayed the group.
BY chance he meets Bagour, now in
charge of an important ship yard:
Upon learning that Belova, who had
escaped from his guards years before,
has become Bagour's wife, Rybakon
records in the diary his uncertainty
as to whether TO inform Bagour of
his wife's identity. Finally he dis
covers that she is taking part in a
sabotage plot in the shipyard, but
before he can reveal this to Bagour
he is stricken with another heart
attack and dies. Bagour knows of
the plot, without realizing that his
Bagou is left to choose between his

Wood Swears Shoe Union Never Won Strike;
But 1t Won Strikes in Last Few Weeks

about "intimidationS and as
saults."
The Lie About "Never Winning"
And Woods final, main point in his
affidavit is the one he has used from
1929 to this day. II is the anne as
the lie put out by the Constitutional
Educational League, exposed in Fri
days issue of the Daily Worker as q
swindle, racket. This lie is that
the T. u. U. L. unions and the Shoe
and Leather Workers Industrial
Union, "have never won a strike for
any group or groups of such workers,
and there is ample evidence to sup
port the claim that such organiza-
tions do not function for the purpose
of lettering the conditions of the
workers in any industry"
Won in Five Shoe Shops
The number of lies Wood will tell
can be judged by this statement. AT
the time when every shoe worker and
every shoe boss knows that the Shoe
and Leather Workers Industrial
Union has had ten shops on strike
in this city during the last IL weeks
and has already won five of those
strikes, stopped wage cuts, improved
conditions, forced reinstatement Of
discharged workers and been vic
torious generally in those strikes But
Wood still repeats his old line about
never won q strike" Even without
going into the history of the hun
dreds of strikes won in the last couple
of years by the needle trades, food
workers, metal workers. miners and
other T. U. U. l. unions, the strikes
just now won i'll the Elco, Paris,
'Astor. Riverside and Lo Presti shoe
shops are enough to prove Wood is
a liar. and vicious liar, man who
lies to try and make conditions to
stsrve the workers. break their strikes
and smash their unions.
Wood can only tell lies; he can't
stop the strike.

1.-THE Field Artillery was somewhat
at a loss as to what should be done
with the gun, once the design had
been perfected, but Gen. Moseley
suggested it be used against rioters
in case of domestic disorders on any
considerable scale. The caliber and
power of the weapon naturally sug-

logical use in intimidation or in de-

DEER FOUND TO BE WINTERING
 IN GOOD SHAPE
No Famine Up to Last Sun day, Survey Shows
 Snowfall May Affect

Deer in the northern regions of the Panhandle were not suffering seriously from lack of food up to last Sunday, according to Game Warden Frank Dufrensne of the Alaska Game Commission who re- turned here yesterday on the patrol ship Seal, Capt. J. o. Sellevold, from a two-weeks survey of the district north of Wrangell Narrows.
 Since Sunday, however, there has been an unusually heavy fall of snow throughout the district which, unless rainfall starts shortly and carries away the snow cover, may lead to a Shortage of forage that will necessitate feeding.
 MT. Dufresne saw hundreds ct deer on the shores of all the isl ands. All of them were appar- ently in good condition and able 70 take care of themselves. The ground was practically bare and forage could be had in abundance.
 It showed heavily on Chichagof Island Sunday, IS inches falling at Hoonah. Yesterday heavy fall was experienced on Admiralty Isl- and.
 If the present coverage remains on the grotnd for more than 2 few days, the Commission will send a few men out to cut forage and may distribute hay, now on hand, at points on the islands where the deer are congregated most heavily.
