SELL-OUT 7
FOUGHT BY
CARPENTERS
Carpenters Spread
Move for Strike
Mass Meeting
"I'm Boss. Says Faker
Meet of League Takes
Place Tonight

The growing sentiment of the rank
and file of the building trades unions
against the sell-out of the Building
Trades Council takers was shown on
Tuesday night when a rank and file
committee from carpenters Local 2717
came to the membership meeting OF
Local 1164, carpenters to ask the
membership to respond to the COM
munication of 2717 which invited 9TH
er carpenters locals to come to their
mass meeting to be held Saturday
May 18th at l p m. at 218 Sackman
ST., Brooklyn. Members of Local 2O90
also came to urge the members of
1854 to join in this mass meetinf
to discuss the presen tsituation in
which some carpenters are on strike
while others are working.
The reactionary chairman Of 1854
at first refused to admit the visiting
carpenters but the membership Of
1854 created such an unroar that he
was compelled to urge the members
to attend the mass meeting in a
body. This despite the fact that the
lead in demanding the admission OF
the carpenters of 2O90 and 2717.
Though the Building Trades Coun-
Gil has openly accepted the 25 per
cent to 40 per cent wage cut, their
fear of the rising strike mood of the
workers is SO great that when at a
special council meeting the strike was
discussed and the representatives OF
the plumbers Local 1853 made a mo-
ton to expell the steamfitters because
they are putting up a stiff fight
against the wage cuts, the objection
of one delegate was sufficient to pre-
vent any expulsion action or even
discussion of it.
In the report of Local "a of the
Bricklayers, the officials tried to hide
the fact that they intended to sign
up with the independent lumber
bosses but wer eunable to do SO be-
cause of the rank and file pressure.
Sentiment of the rank and file was
unanimously against this maneuver
with the bosses. The rank and file is
demanding more guarantee of the
wage scale and not just a scale signed
on paper. The membership is de-
manding militant mass picketing.
In Local Bricklayers, resolution
was presented by the rank and file
for maintaining wage standards, a
joint mass meeting of all locals, mad

'of the Chinese Eastern Railway and
two members of the Soviet consular
staff at Harbin.
The arrested Soviet citizens have
been ill-treated and tortured, in an
attempt to extort statements from
them which would serve the Japa-
nese aim Of duplicating the SOVIET
Union in several recent outrages
against the property Of the Chinese
Eastern Railway, and the wrecking
Of Japanese troop train on that
railway. These outrages have been
carried out by the White Guard,
whose task it is to provide the Japa-
nese with the necessary pretext for
the seizure of the Chinese Eastern
Railway and for armed intervention
against the Soviet Union. The Chi
nese Guards of the railway have
co-operated with the White Guards
by being conveniently absent at the
scene of the outrageS at the time they
occurred.
Unlike the hmperialist brigands,
the Soviet Union does not maintain
any armed guards on its railway.
These guards are maintained and
controlled by the Japanese puppet
government in Manchuria. Although
the Japanese and their White Guard
allies have been unable to dig up
the slightest shred of evidence I'M

RACES, wholesale arrests of Soviet
citizens are continuing.
The increasing violence against
citizens in Manchuria, and the plot
Of the Japanese to seize the Chinese
Eastern Railway, give additional sig
nificance to the recent dispatch from
Harbin of three Japanese army col
urnns to reinforce Japanese troops in
Kirin Province districts bordering on
the Soviet frontier.
A Warsaw dispatch to the Wall
Street journal, gives further sinister
significance to the japanese war
moves against the Soviet Union. The
dispatch states, in part:
"Rumors of Japanese orders for
arms and munition in Poland have
appeared often in the last few weeks
here, and have been denied by the
japanese legation.
Nevertheless, it generally Is be-
lieved that the Polish munitions in

from Japan.

winchester Arms Increases activity
(By a Worker Correspondent
NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Reading the
Daily Worker I noticed that you
wanted readers to send in reports
about factories producing war ma
terial. The Winchester Repeating
Arms Co. which went broke few
months ago is now active, according
to the New Haven Register, produc-
ing both arms and munitions.
The report in the Register says:
Increased activity at the Win
chester plant, recently acquired by
the Western Cartridge Company,
of which F. w. Olin is the head, is
largely due to purchases made.
"In addition to this, the company
was reported yesterday to have or
ders of a characteristic nature
which have produced more than
the usual amount of activity.
TN explaining this situation, Al
bert J. Snyder, personnel superin-
tendent, said that these orders call
for the manufacture of shells, rifles,
shotguns and other articles in larg-
er quantities than normally would
be turned out by the factory"

NEW YORK.-Speaking for the

Poisoning Grasshobbers

THE spreading of poison bats to kill grass
! hoppers is not just matter of covering the
territory in which the poison is to be laid.
Temperature, wind conditions and the time of
day all figure in the work.
Bran Is ordinarily used as the base to carry
the poison. A border of the mixture rod or
a rcd and half wide is laid all the way around
a field to be protected from the hoppers. The
actual work must be done on a still day, with
practically no breeze as the hoppers do not feed
on windy days.
The actual laying of the bait is done early
in the morning when the temperature reaches
60 degrees. BY the time the temperature has
risen to 10 and the sun is well up, the hoppers
begin feeding and the poison then gets in its
good work. It usually takes "a hours for the
poison to kill the hoppers.

to be accomplished is staggering in its magni-
tude. The engineers declared their survey
was the most difficult they had ever undertaken,
some declaring that the explorations were even
worse than those undertaken in the upper
reaches OF the Amazon. Through this almost
impenetrable wilderness they see however q
modern hard-surfaced road over which autos
mobiles may speed. They vision the boon to
inter-American trade which will follow direct
main auto route which will run from the Texas
border through Mexico. Guatemala Salvador,
Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
Such highway, linking all the Central
American republics to the United States and to
each other without recourse to water transportar
tion, would go far toward cementing the f-iend-
ship among the republics and better under-
standing of each other
The cost will be great, the work arduous but
the roadway will be well worth all the cost and
effort in the opening of lands and markets not
now readily accessible to each other.

A LFALFA, fairly modern forage plant so
n far as the United States is concerned, was
grown successfully by the ancient Arabians and
Greeks. In fact, the name comes from the
Arabic and means "the perfect fodder"
1t has so many advantages that it seems
peculiar that Americans, enthused as they are
over efficiency, have failed to turn to 1t in the
quantity which its merits warrant.
An alfalfa field once established needs no
renewing. Some fields now in existence having
been cut over for a hundred more years
without any reseeding.
1t has the decided advantage Of fertililng the
soil in which 1t grows. Its leaves take nitrogen
from the air which is carried down into the
ground where it is released into the soil from
nodules ON the roots. 1t roots very deeply,
incidentally striking deep down into the sub
soil where it finds sources Of water unavailable
to shorter roofing plants. These deep roots
also bring up minerals which other plants fail
to reach.
The little feeder roots die off and rot in the

ground after being replaced by others and this
makes a constant source of humous.
In fact, the plant, once well underway, con-
stitutes its own gardener, fertili1ng and cuIti-
waiting for itself. 1t grows rapidly and just after
coming into flower may be cut Because of this
from three to five crops a year are not un-
common.
Being rich in proteins, characteristic which
differentiates 1t drastically from other types
OF forage crops, it presents in itself d balanced
feed which is not only excellent for livestock,
but which appeals to the taste Of grazing
animals. The alfalfa is fed either as green
feed or cured and fed as hay.
1t will thrive well on all but two types of
soil, those too acid and those too wet. Lime
and drainage answer the difficulty in such a
case.
