aimed not only at the foreign born
workers, but against all workers.
They are aimed to keep the foreign
born workers from fighting for
unemployment insurance at the ex-
pense of the government and the
employers, from organizing and
striking against the Hoover govern
ment's wage cut policy, from fight
ing against imperialist war and for
the defense of the Soviet Union.
The Anti Imperialist League points
out particularly the threat this bill
contains against the workers who
come from the Philippine Islands,
and from Cuba, Mexico and other
semi colonies of American impe-
riaiiSm.
Thousands of PHILIPPINES, Cubans,
Mexicans, Porto Ricans and of other
colonies and semi-colonies are de-
manding complete and unconditional
independence of the colonies. The

for deportation the active fighters in
such a movement.

Attempt to Anay
Inner Antagonists
Lausanne to Lay Basis
For Strengthening
Anti Block

LAUSANNE, June II. - A reSOlu-
ton was adopted at the plenary
session of the Lausanne Conference
today, calling for a temporary sus-
pension Of PREPARATIONS until the
conference reaches a solution of the
questions under consideration.
1t is expected that the confer
enoe will not be adjourned soon.
LAUSANNE, June IA basis for
strengthening the anti-Soviet coali-
ton not by solving or compromising
but simply by postponing the Euro
pean inter-imperialist contradictions
will be laid down today at the Peln-
airy sessions of the Lausanne Confer
ence, when it will be proposed that
all reparations, including the uncon-
ditional annuities due to France be
suspended until final solution can
be worked out.
This proposal to which Macdonald
and Herriot already agreed in their
private conversations here is on one
side designated to draw Germany
more firmly within the coalition
against the Soviet Union without
however proceeding to a complete
cancellation of reparations which
would give the German republic a
relative independence in its relation
ship with France.
On the other side, in so far as it
defers the question of war obligations
the proposal allays the contradiction
which threatened to weaken seriously
the entente" between France and
England. 1t is known that when Mac
Donald expressed the intention of
raising the question of cancellation of
war obligation, Herriot took an attit-
ude which was generally interpreted
as being nearer to the polition of
Stimson on this issue.
At any rate the proposal expresses
the determination of all the nations
repreented at the conference to mo-
billie for war against China and the
Soviet Union. Prime Minister Mac
Donald, the former leader of the
Second Socialist" International, in
opening the conference of which he
was unanimously elected chairman,
clearly called for an international
imperialist coalition by stating
g. There is no France. no Italy,
no Germany, no America, no Great
Britain apart from the rest of the
world. There is nothing smaller
than the world. nothing less than
the system which is crumbling under
our feet

starts in August.
Some government flour that is
in a Maynardville warehouse, in
charge of the Red Cross, will also
be demanded in the name of the
starving farmers, who at the meet
ing decided to demand that in future
flour be sent to committee of farm
ers to distribute, rather than to any
Red Cross agents.
Committee of Action Elected
A Committee of Action was cleo
ted of four men, three women and
a 12-year old girl, who will be in
charge of organizing the children,
and who will speak in the name OF
the children. Immediately following
the mass meeting, the Committee of
Action met and planned further de-
tails of the march. The Committee
will have regular weekly meetings.
Pellagra in Every Family
The farmers of Union County, in
the midst of food-growing country,
are literally starving to death. There
is a case of pellagra, the hunger dis
case, in almost every family. Babies
with arms no larger than a mans
thumb, are trying to survive. One
farmer says he has not seen a dollar
bill for five months.
265 Farms Seized
In the past few weeks 265 farmers
have had their farms seized to pay
off "debts"-more are on the verge
OF being sold. A farmer who spent
the whole season raising l,4000
pounds of tobacco got exactly S82
for his years work, and this is con-
sidered good; most didn't get any
thing for their crops.
The farmers can't get cash for
their corn and other produce, and
are forced to trade at the stores for
whatever they can get-generally a
SO cent sack of flour for bushel
of corn. Although some government
flour was sent into some OF the stores
to distribute, to do so hurt business"
SO Cents for l2-Hour Day
The tenants and choppers rarely
get cash and are always in debt"
They have no money for clothes OF
medicine, no money for fertilizer and
tools, and no money to pay their
taxes, The taxes are very high--a
farmer having 40 to so acres pays a
tax of about s11. The $245 poll tax
is out of the question for the farm
ers. The politicians take advantage
of this, and try to buy the farmers
vote by offering to pay his poll tax.
Men hiring out to the farms
work a 12-hour day for soc and
75c. A marble quarry in the coun-
ty is offering 81 for 9-hour day.
Children Without Clothes
Hundreds of children were unable
to go to school last year. as they
did not have the shoes or clothes to
wear; nor did they have any lunch
to take to eat in school The par
ents are also obliged to ray for school
books-one farmer says he paid S25 |
last year for books FOR his four chill
dren. Parents. unable to buy clothes |
and books, and who therefore capnot |
send their children to school. are
thrown into jail for not sending them.
Farmers who own small strips of |
land are sick of working it for years
only to have it seized in payment |
for some eXlorbitant tax or debt"
In Union County they see a way ont.
1t is through organization and mass
action. The farmers march to the
county seat will be their answer to
the starvation forced on them by the
the banks and the rich
landlords

In most of the shops the manufac-
turers have introduced the efficiency
system so as to enable them to get
more work out of the workers life
by speed-up. 1o -
The other day, down in the Fore
River plant, worker fell through
four holds, or in other words, four
decks down to the bottom of the
ship. The high officials Of the Beth
Tehem Ship Building were not con-
cerned about this workers life. They
did not even come near the ship,
where the accident happened. The
worker was hoisted up with one of
the big cranes, just like a swill bas-
ket and thrown into the ambulance
and whisked away to the hospital. A
day later he died of his injuries.
Heavy Wage Cuts
These are some of the facts that
the workers in Fore River plant have
to stand for. But it is not all, the
workers in the Fore River have just
received wage-cut ranging from Is
to Is per cent, which will bring their
living standard down to starvation
level, because the officials of the
Fore River plant have given indirect
wage-euts for the last two years.
They have done this through firing
and rehiring the following day. For
an example, friend of mine was
hired for Ga cents per hour and was
fired two months later, The next day
he was rehired for 81 cents per hour,
which makes difference of 10 cents
per hour. Then Mr.. SChwab, presi-
dent of the Bethlehem steel, stood in
the yard of Fore River plant and
made a speech, and said there shall
be no Wage-cutS in our plants, and
no lay offs. That very day, these
words came out from his mouth, he

 The Pope stood in the left aisle at Sc Peters, near a bronze statue of the saint. The Pontiff, wearing his pontifical robes and his triple crown, was carried to St Peters on a throne chair in a colortul scene suggesting the court of a potentate of ancient times. He was preceded by Swiss guards in bril- liant uniforms, and bearers of the "fabellas" waved their large os- trich feather fans on each side of the chair.
 The Pope addressed his remarks to many of our dear sons who desire to hear from afar--as you. my dear sons, who are near the voice of the Father and have from the vigor of Christ the word of faith and comfort"
 We thank providence for giv- ing us the joy of this celebration in moment of such trial and great suffering for the mass of the people and such anxiety for their governors in a moment of such painful search for peace and means to assure it.
 "The Holy Virgin, whose mirac- ulous apparition we celebrated yesterday, inspires Us to satisfy our pious desires and invite the far-off sons to offer prayer to God" the Pope said.

 Cross is of presidential caliber. However, he explained briefly, "personally l am for ex-Governor Smith,"
 Town Chairman John H. Crary of this city stated to-day that he does not take the idea of going to the nationa l convention from Connecticut as a unit for Cross seriously. In the first place 1t Is realized, he pointed out, that Connecticut's governor is not in a position to get the presidential nomination and the members of the states delegation would only be delayed three or four ballots if they were tied up to him upon instruc- tions of the state convention.
 "It would be fine, in a way. to see a solid delegation going from Connecticut" said Chairman Crary, but how this can happen when there are such ardent Smith ana Roosevelt sbackers here is a prob lem that would take much time and work to figure out"
 Except in 1928, when the dele gates tot he Houston convention were pledged to Smith, it has been the custom for Connecticut demo- crats to send uninstructed delega- tions. This practice was fol- lowed even in 1912 when the Con- necticut delegation, although unin- structed, voted for four ballots at the Baltimore session for the late Governor Simeon k. Baldwin of this state for president. He was "favorite son" candidate.
 That Governor Cross will receive a complimentary vote from the Connecticut delegation at the com ing Chicago conventoin. is the hc- lief of Town Chairman Crary. M order to accord him the honor due him as head of the democratic party in Connecticut, Chairman Crary said. he would favor giving Governor Cross a complimentary ballot, thereby placing him before | the convention as a.
