R. R. BR0THERHOODS TO
FIGHT MERGER PLAN
Labor Firmly Opposed to Giant
Four System Combine.


Four System Combine.
BIZ Scripps-Horard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The
railway labor brotherhoods are OPP
posed to the four-system plan of
unifying eastern railroads, and will
try to prove to the interstate COM
merce commission that the proposed
mergers are not in the public in
terest and will throw more men out
of work.
The I. C. c. Just has approved the
application of these four systems
the New York Central, Penn
sylvania, Baltimore e. Ohio, and
Chesapeake a. Ohio-for modifi-
cation Of it's original railroad con-
solidaticr plan.
But before these carriers legally
can absorb other and smaller lines
and actually unity themselves, each
case must be judged on its merits
and in the light of public interest
by the commission.
To reinforce their argument
against the four system plan, the
brotherhoods will cite the words OF
tic president of one of the roads
involved to show that the economies
of consolidation must come out OF
wages

H. L. Seeger addressed the social

Credit Pact Needed

Authoritative sources, however,
assert that the Soviet may resume
large-scale buying from the United
States if credit and reciprocal
trade arrangements can be de-
veloped.
Conclusion of such trade agree
ment with Russia as a means of
increasing this country's foreign
trade was urged by Henry T.
Rainey (UlD, Democratic house
leader, in an article written for the
United Press last week.
The huge scope of the new Rus
sian f1ve-year plan is shown by out
lines of the. project available here.
One of the goals is expansion of
electrical power production to
100yooO,000,0 kilowatt hours by
1887, compared with 1900, 100000
this year
Oil Output to Be Trebled
Coal production is to be increased
from 9O,0000C0 tons year to ESQ.,
100000, Oil output is to be trebled.
Railway trackage is to be extend
ed from $4,000 to $4,000 miles, with
introduction of powerful locomo-
tives, larger freight cars, eltctrifica-
! ton and automatic coupling. Pig
iron production is to reach 22,OO0,0 900
tons, against 100000 this year
Cotton and fax production are to
be doubled and grain output in
creased to 100000 metric tons,
against 100000 now.
The commerce department reports
that in 1930-31 Russia purchased
more than three quarters of total
American exports of farm machin-
cry. In 1881 it was the largest
buyer of industrial machinery. Rus
sias total purchases from the
United States last year, however,

These taxes have been in

IMPERIAL VICTIMS
STILL IMPRISONED
Parole Board Refuses
to Free Workers

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24-One
week after they were due to be
released on parole from San Quentin
prison, Oscar Erickson and Danny
Roxas, Imperial Valley defendants,
still in their cells.
Uusing as a pretext that they did
not approve of the jobs which they
had secured-a condition for their
release-the Parole Board of Califor-
MIA is refusing to free them.
Carl Sklar, another Imperial VAL
ley prisoner, is still waiting for new
hearing before the Parole Board.
The receptions being arranged for
Roxas and Erickson on their release
are thus being turned into tremen-
dous protest mass meeting.
The newly formed branch of the
National Committee for the Defense
of Political Prisoners is sending a
delegation to the open hearing of the
Parole Board in Sacramento, at which
Governor Rolph will be present. This
committee will make definite charges
against the parole board for holding
the Imperial Valley prisoners in Jail.
Folsom Prison still holds Horiuchi,
secretary of the Trade Union Unity
League in Imperial Valley, whose de-
portation has been ordered by the
Department of Labor. The Int,rna-
tional Labor Defense demands that
he be allowed voluntary departure
from this country to the land of his
choice. They scheme to deport Hori-
uchi to fascist Japan, where almost
certain death awaits him.
These workers were arrested in 1880
for trying to organize the starving
toilers in Imperial Valley, California.
They were attempting to make more
bearable the conditions of the ex-
plotted agricultural workers.
Workers and working class organi-
cations are urged to send protests at
once TO Governor James A. Rolph, Jr.,
Sacramento, California, demanding
the unconditional release of the I'm
perial Valley prisoners, and to the
Commissioner of immigration, San
Francisco, California, demanding vol
untary departure for Horiuchi.

removal to the Marking Hospital.
The statement further says that
the Marking Supreme Court decision
the appeal for transfer of
the trial to Shanghai demonstrates
the intention of the Marking Govern
ment to carry out the prearranged
plan of persecution. The coming trial
will be a comedy with the defendants
denied defense and the right to call
witnesses and experts, and with the
judges acting as prosecutors and al
ready having received extraordinary
authority for findings and sentences.
The trial will be "a preposterous dis
play representing the desires of the
Marking Government to conform to
wishes of its imperialist masters"
The statement further accuses the
Marking government of complete &C
cord with the imperialists who intend
to howl the Rueggs case skyward as
a new argument for the perpetra-
ton of extra-territoriality" and re-
tention of their special robber rights
in China. The statement asserts that
this also is part of the prearranged
plan of the Marking Government in
collision with the imperialists.
Madame Sun Chin Ling express
es complete solidarity with the
Rueggs and yesterday hurled
challenge at the Marking Govern
ment concluding with the demand
not only for the liberation of the
Rueggs but ."for the lifting of the
terrific burdens weighing upon the
Chinese People. She called upon
the Chinese People to smash the
white terror that has filled mil
