SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 24.-The
Illinois Anti Hunger Conference
opened at Labor Temple this morn

1t was too small to accommodate the
delegates. Reports show that the
delegates are coming from 70 towns
and number 500 elected by local un-

The main reporter will be, Karl

Norman Thomas came to Spring
field, Saturday, and was met officially
by representatives of Governor Hor-
ner and with his official escorts was
brought to the Horner Mansion. Ac-
cording to the press, he discussed
with Horner how to most effectively
settle the struggle" in Christian
County, which means how best to
crush the strike. On the speech of
Thomas, the Springfield Journal re-
ports that Thomas spoke in praise
of Governor Horner for initiating his
administration with determined eff
fort to restore tranquility in the mine
area" Horner's action was to send
troops to Christian County closing
the relief station kitchen which was
opened only through pressure of the
masses. Martial law actually exists
in Christian County, preventing mass
meetings, and local unions from
picketing. However the National
Guards permitted Thomas to speak
at Taylorville. On the twenty-five
miners indicted for murder at Tay-
lorville, Thomas has only the follow
ing to say: HE proposes to the
Governor, the removal Of the Prose-
cutting Attorney of Christian County,
and to hire another attorney not so
much hated by the miners and by
these means pave the road for rail-
roading the miners to jail for life.

Scab Tactics of

London Bus Strike
Gable BY InpFecorr)

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The London
bus strike ended yesterday evening
by decision of the Strike Committee
owing to inability to secure the fur
ther extension of the strike in the
face of the scabbing tactics of the
reformiSt union leaders.
The strike showed the depth of the
workers resentment against the
treacherous Speed-up agreement
signed by the reformists, and COM
PEELED the company to make various
notifications of the schedule origi-
nally proposed.
The Strike Committee has issued a
statement explaining the reason for
calling off the strike so as to pre-
vent the threatening dribble back to
work that would result in mass vic
limitation.
The fighting spirit of the workers
remains unbroken and immediate
steps are being taken to strengthen
the unofficial organization with the
view of further action in the near
future.
FoCT hundred street car men are
still out fighting for their own de-
mands against the company.

WORKER CORRESPONDENTS
PACKING HOUSE AND FISHERY WORKERS

Wages at Armour, Swift and others
are about $12 a week The continu-
Gus wage-cutting of the packers has
brought wages down to 36c an hour
and speed-up is almost killing the
workers.
Armour is shutting down its light
plant and ice house and some de-
partments are shutting down. The
drivers got an indirect cut by losing
one-day week. Libby, Mcneil and
Libby workers average days week
and So to SO.
The workers are quietly getting Or
ganized, with the union calling group
meetings almost nightly. BY spring
we expect to have an almost 100 per
cent organization. Therefore it is es-
sential for all other unions to give
us aid in every way possible.

ceeds from the interests of both coun-
tries"
Molotov pointed out a number of
features in the development of for
eign relations Speaking of the re-
sumption of diplomatic relations be-
tween the Soviet Union and China,
he said:
"As is known, these relations were
ruptured at the initiative of the Nam
king government. 1t need Only be
pointed out that the initiative 11r re-
storing these relations was also taken
by that government and met with our
full support. We think mistake
was thus corrected"
Reafflrns Peace Policy.
In a passage of his speech dealing
with Japan, Molotov again referred
to the resumption of Chinese-S Soviet
relations: LAS to the resumption of
relations between the U.S.S.R. and
China, the Soviet Union decides such
questions irrespective of whether the
decision is agreeable or disagreeable
to anybody. The Soviet Union pro-
ceeds in such cases from the inter-
estS of general peace and from the
basic principles of its peace policy"
Molotov ridiculed the position of
the 'sages" of countries which do not
yet have diplomatic relations with
the U.S.S.R. and think preliminary
study is necessary as a prerequisite
to recognition. He referred particu-
larly to Czecho-Slovakia, where seer
tain ministers" have been profound
ly studying the U.S.S.R."
"About Time.
This procedure, Molotov pointed
out, is outdated Soviet Rule" he
said, "has existed for is years. Ten
years have passed since the forma-
ton of the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics, but despite this, even the
ministers of such countries as the
United States follow in the footsteps
OF Czecho-Slovakia. 1t is about time
that they understood what the Sow
let Union represents, especially after
the successful fulfilment of the Five
Year Plan" He then added:
The absence Of diplomatic rela-
tions has proved a loss first of all
to those who occupy themselves with
empty, useless talk about a special
study of the U.S.SR. in the absence
of diplomatic relations"
On Relations With England.
Referring to England's recent de-
nunciation of the trade treaty with
the Soviet Union, Molotov said:
"We still do not know the real
purpose Of this act; we can only guess
at it. If by the rupture of the trade
treaty, someone wanted to frighten
the Soviet Union, it is simply not
serious. We have never been afraid
of such things"
I'VE are certain of one thing"
Molotov added, that the countries
that maintain normal diplomatic and
trade relations with the Soviet I'm
ion unquestionably have the advan-
tage over other countries. Especially
since the Soviet Union, unlike some
capitalist countries, is exact and
punctual in carrying out all it's obli-
cations"

Shoremen to arrange with the ship
owners and the Stevedoring COM
panies this new vancouver and to get
their backing of local 1891.
Baker has attacked local 1116 as
being a Communist Niger Union.
Why? Because he saw in local I116
the unity of Negro and white long
shOremen, under the leadership of
a rank and file committee fighting
for justice and better conditions, and
against the self imposed leadership
of the corrupt Baker gang.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union pledges its full support to the
struggles of the rank and file against
the treacherous sellout policy of the
International Officialdom and in the
struggle for better working and liv-

rank and file leadership, and the
unity Of all longshoremen around a
program of struggle for better condi-

sell-out policy of Ryan and Co., can
the longshoremen ever hope to get

nature of a protest against the re-
lease of 20-year old Jesse Crawford
Negro youth, whom the state Of

chigan
Osborn reports having visited the
chain gangs frequently to hold re-
ligious services. He paints rosy
picture of the benefits" of the chain
gangs and the Happiness" of the
victims of this specially horrible form
Of capitalist reaction. 4,,
According TO Osborn, the victims
so greatly enjoy the torture and
cruelties of the chain gang that they
would commit crimes so as to return
to the chain gang, where life for
them has been more comfortable
than so-called freedom" From any
angle considered, this is an inter-
