attributed to "hiS campaign against
a corrupt section of the secret police
who have inaugurated a reign Of
white terror" Bell was editor of the
weekly "Wiken''. The secret police
are also held responsible for the muir
der of Professor Anabalon, who dis
appeared last July and whose body
was among the ten discovered on
Wednesday.
The terror was Instituted by the
government as part of its drive for
active participation in the undeclared
war between Colombia and Peru and
suppression of the struggles Of the
impoverished masses against starva-
ton.
Defeated Candidate War Head,
The Colombian government yes
terday appointed General Alfredo
Vasuuez Cobo to command its forces
in the war with Peru. Cobo is the
defeated Conservative Party candi-
date in the last presidential election.
His appointment is aimed at creating
a united front of the Colombian
boufgeoisie for the prosecution of the
war. Another defeated bourgeois
candidate has been appointed as
nember of the commission on for
eign relations.
On the initiative of Pope Plus, the
governments of Bolivia and Paragu-
ay have agreed to a hypocritical
christmas day truce in the unde-
clared Gran Chaco war. The truce
will extend from midnight Dec. "a
to midnight Dec. %.
U. S. Behind Bolivia Puppets.
Jorge Matte, new Foreign Minister
of Chile, admitted in a speech in
Santiago yesterday that war sup
plies for Bolivia from the United
States were moving through the Chi
lean ports of Antofogasta and africa.
The U. S. government is supporting
its Bolivian puppets in the Gran
Chaca war which, with the armed
conflict between Colombia and Peru,
is part of the fierce struggle between
U. s. and British imperialism for
control of markets and the natural
resources of the semi-colonial coun-
tries.

DEBT STRUGGLE
GROWS SHARPER
DESPITE DELAY
Delay in Bargaining Is
Opposed By French
Premier
HOOyER-ROOSEVELT SAME
Both Use Debt for I'm
perialist Grabs

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-
With stock prices in a sharp
decline, corn and cotton reach
ing new lows and proof piling
up generally of the catastroph-
ic deepening of the world crisis
Of capitalism, Hoover and
Roosevelt yesterday agreed to delay
negotiations on the war debts ques-
ton until after March 4, in an at
tempt to conceal from the American
masses the war-like character Of the
struggle between U. S. imperialism
and its European rivals over the war
debts. This struggle is growing fiercer
daily with the rapid deepening of the
crisis. The news o the delay i'm
mediately precipitated a conference
between Premier Paul Boncour and
Ambassador Edge in Paris in a fran
tic attempt to again reopen the ques-
ton.
Hoover Roosevelt Policies Same
In an acrimonious debate as to
responsibility" for the delay, both
the President and the President-elect
further attempted to divert the at
tention of the toiIing masses from
the struggle over the war debts.
Behind the accusations and counter
accusations, both are in perfect agree
nent for support of Wall Streets
demands for trade and colony con-
cessions from the debtor powers In
exchange for any reduction of the
uncollectable debts.
Hoover is reported to have aban-
doned his plan for the immediate
creation of "debt review" commits
sion, intended as futile gesture of
international goodwill" but which
would have lacked authority to make
any settlement except on the lines
already laid down by Wall Street.
Secret Moves
Roosevelt is for shrouding the debt
negotiations with the utmost secrecy
so as to conceal from the toiling
masses the real aims of U. S.. impe-
rialism of using the debts to bludgeon
the debtor countries into giving up
concessions in trades, colonies and
arms reduction aimed at strengthen
ing U. S. imperialism for the new
world war, for which all the imperial
list powers are frantically preparing.
Meanwhile, it was revealed yester-
day that as part Of the savage
trade war between U. S. and British
imperialists, both are trying to divert
mail contracts to vessels under their
own flags, thus delaying the delivery
of mail between this country and
Europe.

2 WATERS UNION
GRAFTERS SHOT
Rank and File Fights
Job-Racketeering

NEW YORK.-The struggle against
the racketeering officials of local 1,
Walters and Mattresses Union, broke
into gunfire Thursday night when
two bushes agents, both notorious
grafters, were shot by an unemployed
union member, Benny Glast, at a
meeting in Beethoven Hall, POI E.
Fifth Street.
The wounded business agents are
Jack LaSher and Morris Turkel. Bo-h
have been exposed by the militant
Rank and File Group in the union,
as carrying on, in cooperation with
the bosses, a thriving trade in jobs.
Union members have been compelled
to pay $500 for a job, which has
been split between the union officials
and the bosses.
Once In Thick With Grafters
The man who did the shooting
was at one time in thick with the
union bureaucrats whom he served
as strongarm man. But his mas
tiers double crossed him and for the
past two years he has been out of
job. Recently he went to Lasher
and Turkel and begged for a job,
saying that his wife was Ill and
starving. They refused to do any
thing for him. The following day,
however, he was visited by Ego
between" who offered him a job if
he forked over several hundred dol
lars. This drove him into rage and
he determined to "get" the business
agents.
Thursday nights meeting was
called for the purpose of nominating
officers for the coming year, with
elections to take place in January
About 500 workers were present and
the NEE ing was about to start when
shots rang out in an ante-room off
the stage. Glast ran out, waving his
revolver, and yelled:
II did it. let them have it..
They've been preying on the mem
bers for a long time" Shortly after
this, he was arrested.
Boss Arrested
The shooting created sensation
among the union members. Those of
the Rank and file group, while OPP
posing individual terror as method
of struggle, placed the blame for the
near tragedy squarely on the should
ers of the corrupt officialdom. Ear
lier in the evening Julius Malich,
prominent in the Restaurant Owners
Association, was arrested on charge
of extortion. The Rank and File
Group has sufficient affidavits to

BOARD STALLS
ON RELIEF MONEY
Adjourns for Holidays;
.Jobless Starve

NEW YORK-The Board of Esti-
mate met in secret session yesterday
and postponed indefinitely motion
for 100000 relief funds for the
unemployed by turning it over to
Deputy Controller Prial ito make a
report on" after the holidays. The
motion for relief funds was from
Commissioner of Public Welfare Tay-
lor, who has to at least make a show
of doing something. The Tammany
Board didn't want to be bothered,
though.
Take a Vacation
Then they adjourned for Christmas
vacation. But first they assigned to
Budget Director Kohler the job Of
working out the details of the slash
ing of $20,000,000 off of the wages of
city workers. The knitting of the city
payroll will go right on through
Christmas. 1t is little Christmas
present to the bankers holding the
city debt bonds. The bankers Or
dered it, had a special session of the
legislature called to legalize it, open
ly and hagrantly directed the activ-
tiles of the legislature, and they want
service.
/. r. T. Wage Cut
Again at the bankers orders, the
receivers appointed by the courts for
the l. r. T. had just the day before
cut wages of all but 1000 Of the
1900 subway and elevated railway
workers from 10 to 80 per cent.
And the very same day, also, with
the money saved" by this cut, the
courts ordered the interest on subway
bonds paid to the bankers.

HAND GOLD BRICK
TO PHILIPPINES
independence Voted;
Stall on Beer

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. Beer
and the question of Philippine indie
pendence occupied the attention of
the Senate during the past two days.
The beer issue was kept alive in or
der to divert the attention OF the
masses from the fight for NHderal
unemployment insurance and imme-
date relief when the Senate today
defeated by a vote of 48 to % mo-
ton for immediate consideration OF
the Bingham 80 per cent beer bill.
This measure is similar to the one
passed by the house two days ago.
Yesterday the Senate handed the
Filipino masses the gold-brick entitled
INDEPENDENCE" After compromises
agreed upon between House and
Senate conferees, the bill was pas
sed providing so-called independence
after ten years. 1t is considered Ger
tain that the House will also accept
the measure.
The passing of even fake Philip
pine independence bill, which has
been hanging fire for 80 years, shows
that the catastrophical economic
crisis and the growing revolutionary
struggles of the Filipino masses, I'M
der the leadership of the illegal Com
munist Party, are forcing the Wall
Street masters to make new ma
neuvers as Wall Streets social base
in the Philippines narrows down.
U. S. Keeps Stranglehold.
The bill. however, makes sure that
/. independence will be postponed Tor
a period probably a good deal longer
than ten years; 2. meanwhile Philip
pine economic life will be further
stifled by new import duties and re-
strictions on immigration; 3. If and
when independence" is granted, it
will be under the protecting wing
and guns-of U. S. imperialism.
To Feather Many Nests.
NEW YORK.-Democratic ward
heelers, rum-runners and other
hanger-on were greatly cheered by
the announcement Of James A. Far
ley, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, here yesterday
that 10000 jobs will be handed out
to the faithful when Roosevelt takes
office. Farley has managed to corner
a soft berth for himself as he is
slated to become postmaster-general.

feature of political corruption in the

"The relatively small ex-
tent to which race prejudice

most deeply, many farmers ground

Thus, after three days Of screa ling

DEMAND VENUE
CHANGE FOR NINE
LID. Attorneys Begin
Scottsboro Action

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec, 3D.
Gen. George w. Chamlee and Irving
Schwab, attorneys for the Interna-
tional Labor Defense arrived in this
city today to push the fight for a
change of venue for the new trials
of the Scottsboro boys, under the
decision of Nov. 10, wrested by world
wide mass profess from the United
States Supreme Court. They will
also help in preparing the defense
of the 10 leaders of the Share-crop-
pers Union arrested in the landlord
police reign of terror in Tallapoosa
County.
Defense Demands
Chamlee declared today that the
first step of the defense attorneys
will be to demand recognition by the
State of Alabama Of the right
of the nine Scottsboro defend
ants to have private conference
with their lawyers. This right has
been denied the boys in the past
although the Alabama law provides
lOI private COIlIGlCAlNCo bNbNSSAA Nv
torney and client. At previous con-
ferences, Chamlee pointed Out, the
warden Of the prison insisted on be-
ing present. The I. L. D. will also
demand the immediate removal OF
eight of the boys from the death
cells at Kilby Prison, where they
have been held in violation Of Gus
tomary practice, in an attempt to
break their spirit and force them
to turn over the defense to the N. A.
A. c. p. leaders and other reformist
agents of the lynch bosses.
Seek Change of Venue
The I. l.. D. attorneys are seeking
q change of venue to Birmingham,
where there is large Negro popu-
lation and an increasingly class con-
scious white working class Judge
Hawkins, who handed down the
original lynch verdicts, has already
set the date Of the new trials for
the March, 1888, term OF his court.
