FIGHT BREWS
OVER NAZIS
IN AUSTRIA
France and Italy Are
Rivals to Lead
Austria
NAZI ATTACKS CONTINUE
England Unwilling to
Oppose Italy

NEW YORK, Aug. 22,-Dis-
patches from Vienna, Paris, and
London indicate the sharpening Of
struggle between Italy, France,
Great Britain and Germany, with
Austria as the pawn in the con-
flict.
French opposition to Mussolini's
strengthening himself by promoting
bloc of Italy, Austria and Hun
gary against Nazi ambitions for
union of Austria and Germany is
particularly strong, alt h o u g h
France is the chief opponent of
Germany's ambitions in Austia.
Great Britain which, with
France, is starving off complete col
lapse of Austrian economy by
means of heavy loans, is appar-
emily disinclined to side with
France against Italy.
Meanwhile Mussolini has taken
the lead by taking the first steps
toward organizing the Danubian
bloc which France failed to bring
into existence last year.
Despite all warnings, Germany
is continuing its energetic attempts
to draw Austria into the Nazi
camp by radio attacks on Chan
ceilor Dollfuss and by supporting
organized Nazi activities in
Austria.
Observers express the opinion
that the conflicting interests of
the various powers will reach a
critical stage within the next few

by ROLAND

BERLIN, Aug. 22.-Romain Rol-
land has countered the request of
DR.. Karl Werner, German chief
prosecuting attorney, for the names
of witnesses and their testimony in
defense of the Communists charged
with setting the Reichstag fire by
demanding in return a full and free
trial.
In a letter made public today by
Werner, ROLAND demands that the
Communists be allowed to choose
their own counsel, that the German
government guarantee the safety of
defense counsel and witnesses, that
copy Of the indictment, containing
all the evidence of the prosecution,
be given to the international COM
mittee investigating the fire, and
that the trial be guaranteed full
publicity.

old conditions. Groups of workers
promptly left their shops and came
to the strike halls of the Industrial
Union where they reported the stu
alton and asked that their shops be
called out on strike again.
Cooper Union was jammed to the
rafters when thousands of striking
dressmakers members of the IL.G
w. u, answering the call Of the rank
and file opposition gathered to con-
slider the next steps to enforce the
new agreement and to struggle
against sweat shop conditions. The
greatest enthusiasm and applause
greeted rank and file speakers when
they pointed out that the tremendous
outpouring of workers from union
and non-union shops in the great
general dress strike was due to the
policy of unity which the Industrial
Union carried out.
Over and over again speakers
stressed the danger of leaving the
enforcement of the agreement to

ers were Grossman, chairman; Mig

tional officials for failing to consult
the rank and file regarding the terms
of the agreement. The strikers agreed
not to return to their shops before
price settlements had been made to
yield the minimum scales set in the
agreement. The resolution called for

York Area Yesterday
Cause Death of Two

NEW YORK.-Two explosions
yesterday rocked different sections
of the metropolitan area. One at
the plant of the Celluloid Corpora
ton in Newark killed two persons
and severely burned three others

in the heart of New York City's
garment district, shattering VIM
dows and driving six families into
the street. No one was injured.

Politicians With
Gangster Tie-Ups
Named by Medalie
Three Years Ago, in
Trial, Robert Minor
Made Similar Charges

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Just before
going before the Grand Jury to pre-
sent evidence on the racketeer and
CANISTER connections of Tammany
politicians, U. S. Attorney Medalie
today made public the names of the
following Tammany district leaders
as having direct connections with the
criminal underworld. He named:
Ex-Alderman James Jimmy
Hines, Democratic Leader Of the
18th Assembly District. Alderman
william Solomon, Leader of the
18th District. Alderman David Ma
honey, Leader of the list District.
Alderman Albert Marinelli, Leader
of the Second District, nominated
for County Clerk. william Rey-
nolds, Republican Leader OF the
Fifth District.
Medalie himself is reputed to have
connections with the powerful finan-
cial interests who were responsible
for the quashing of the grand larceny
charges against one of the big Wall
Street brokers.
That Jimmy Hines and other
Tammany leaders were protectors OF
criminal racketeers was charged three
years ago by Robert Minor, Com
munist candidate for Mayor, during
his trial for leading the Unemployed
demonstration to City Hall. Minor
made the same charges against Dis
trict Attorney Grain and his Assist
ant Unger, who prosecuted William
z. Foster, Robert Minor, and Israel
Amter at that time.
Republican opponents Of Tammany
who themselves have similar gangster
connections are now substantiating
these charges Of the Communist can

Hoover Absent As
Jury Seeks Him in
Detroit Bank Probe

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Early
reports in the capitalist press here
today stated that ex-President
Hoover was wanted by grand
jury investigating bank failures in
Detroit and that he was "1ost."
One paper even had newsboys cry
ing an extra on the streets on TIE
basis of misleading headline over
the story.
Later reports indicated that he
returned to Palo Alto, California
from a fishing trip. He declined
to make any statement in regard
to the report that the investigating
jury may subpoenae him.
Senator Couzins has charged
that a proper enforcement of the
bank laws would have prevented
the wave of bank failures.

on the D. u Diamond Cement last
week.
The company offers to grant all
the demands of the strikers with
the exception of the increase of
wages. The offer was rejected by
the men.
The workers are waging a mill
tant fight in the face of police at
tacks. The crew of the "Cornore"
was driven off the ship by the
Bethlehem police, but at a meeting
last night elected a delegation to
go to the steel plant to present their
demands again. A leaflet has been
drawn up, calling the steel workers
to support the strike.
The despatch further reports
that the entire water front is
aroused by the strikes and the pro-
posed Marine Code, which the In
dustrial Union will present tomor-
row despite the refusal of john
son to answer its telegram. The
Federal administrator is attempt
ing to intimidate the delegation
by press and radio releases urging
police precautions.
The seamen are joining the I'm
ion and preparing to widen the
front of their struggle.
All workers organizations are
urged to send kilograms to john
son demanding a hearing for the
strikers delegates.
The strikers sent wire to the Ma
rine Workers Industrial Union
branches In New York and Philadel-
phia, demanding that every effort be
taken to prevent shipment of scabs
from the crimps and missions that
usually provide scabs for the ship
owners. Patrols have been set up al
the crimps and missions in both
cities.

NEW YORK, February 21-The one
influence that is proving the most dis

AS matter of fact. in every cor

sldered practically one and the same

determining the quick asset rosition.

market price has nothing whatever to
do with intrinsic value.
There is, however, another factor

the Treasury deficit is continually in

larger in the future rather than small
