$40 ARRESTED IN y
SPANISH STRIKES
General Strike Of
Motor Transport

Three hundred and twenty work-
ing class leaders in Southern Anda-
lusia, Spain have been arrested in
sweeping raids being carried on By
the Spanish socialist-backed govern
ment in an attempt to break the
backbone of a wave OF strikes Most
of these arrests are in the towns,
twenty-five of which are affected by
general strikes of farm workers.
Besides the strikes of these farm
workers a general strike of all motor
transportation is so effective that the
Spanish government has ordered the
confiscat'on of taxicabs, trucks and
auto buses throughout the country.
A dispatch to the New York Times
states that these trucks will be
turned over to workmen's societies
and to the army which vii loperate
them. This indicates that the social
list controlled unions will be enrolled
to break this strike.

speech of n leader Of the Spanish
socialist party In which he pledged
the continued support Of his group
to smash the danger OF the LETT,
meaning the Communists. And on
Friday the Forward ieralds these ar
rests by saying that 800 counter-rev-
olutionists have been arrested. IL
is clear that these "counter-revolu-
tionists have been arrested. 1t IS
clear that these "counter-revolution-
lists" are peasants who supported the
establishment of the republic because
they we're promised the lands OF the
feudal landowners. Like the social
ist governments in other countries
this promise has been forgotten.
Two days ago new strike OF work
ers at a navy yard in Spain broke
out. The workers demanded the
stopping of all lay-offs. Previous
strikes Of this sort in other naval
centers Of Spain have been success
full.

Into Walker Bank

Europe


"Collect on delivery" is the policy
Of the Tammany mayor, James j.
Walker, according to revelations
brought out in the Seabury investiga-
ton now entering its final week.
According to evidence already pre-
sented before the Seabury committee
the mayor received a letter of credit
for $4,000 from agents of the Equit-
able Coach Company the day the
franchise was signed. giving that
company monopolist.c rights on the
streets Of New York.
Rig Graft From Taxi Trust
Walker also received from J. A.
Sisto. broker. $26,535 IN bonds in a
taxi trust before he began pursuing
policy favorable to the company in
which Sisto is interested: and, of
course, discriminating against and
imposing oppressive police measures
upon the independent taxi men
Walker also got $4,000 haul cred

from the taxi trust and an additional
sim of $4,000 supplied by Rodmsn
Wannamaker, head OF the big de-
'.artment store that thrives through
paving starvation wapes to the thou
sands Of women and girl workers.
Walker in 1927 visited European CAP
itais on one of his numerous "vaca-
tons"
Accompanying the Walker party on
the Eurouean trip was the presby-
terrain preacher and alleged historian,
Herbert Adams Gibbons. one of the
most vicious and notorious defend
ers OF imperialist banditry in the
world. Adams. in addition to chap
eroning the Walker party through
the cabarets of Paris and Berlin, was
engaged In managing the Paris con-
vention of the American Legion that
year
Gibbons is trying to evade testify
ing on matters that may further ex-
pose the graft of the Mavor admin
fistration. He announces that be will
testify only if Walker requests him
10 do SO.
Overdrew $4,000 Coach Money
on the trip through Europe Walker
overdrew the $4,000 letter of credit
and the amount $4,000. was made
good by the Equitable Coach Com
pany. The 'Tammany crook. Senator
Hastings. described as a friend of
Mayor Walker" admitted on the
stand that the Equitable concern
paid the oyerdraft as we'll as the or
iginsl 10000. The senator says that
the cash was given to the Equitable
man by Senator Downing, who was
arranging the trip. Downing is now
dead. Another dead man, Arson w
Burchard, is said by the Equitable
people to have originally planned the
financing.
Walker is scheduled to appear
Wednesday before the seabury COM
mittee and present his version of the
flow OF large sums of money to his
seven or more banking accounts.
