STRIKE SPREADS
IN ARGENTINA
More Farmers Join
Movement

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 29.-The
farm strike movement spread further
today, when several hundred farm
ers, assembled at San Antonio de
Areco, unanimously endorsed the call
issued by delegates to the Argentina
Agrarian Federation for a general
strike to enforce the demands of the
impoverished farmers for relief by
the government. The strike is set
to begin this Wednesday, Large Sec
tons of farmers already have gone
on strike, stopping all agricultural
work
The government yesterday tried to
head off the strike by promises to
extend $4,000, 900 to provide seed for
the next planting. 1t also promised
relief action" when Congress re-
convenes in May. The farmers re-
jected these gestures Of relief" and
declared their intention to strike
until the government meets the de-
nlands, which include reduction in
taxes, four-year moratorium on all
farm debts and higher prices for
farm products.

OMAHA, Neb.-Little did the cap
italists and their bankers and poll
ticians realize the discomfort that
was to follow from the farm confer
ence in Washington, D. G. Returning
delegations, almost to a man, came
back convinced that nothing good
could come to the farmer from the
Hoover Roosevelt Government.
What concrete proof have we for
this? AnSwer-mass demonstrations
against evictions and foreclosures
are becoming more numerous every
day. The second week, after the re-
urn of the delegations, a group of
500 farmers stopped the eviction Of
q farm widow in Nebraska. On Jan. 4
at lie Mars, Ia. 500 or more farmers
blocked q foreclosure and threatened
to recover farm machinery which
had been seized for debts in other
cases On Jan. z there was another
gathering in the same vicinity for
the same purpose. The latter meet
ing doubled the first one in attend
ance.
These farmers made it plain that
they were not acting unde rthe lead
ership of such organizations as the
Farmers Holiday Association nor the
Farmers Union. 1t is encouraging to
see how rapidly some farmers are
discovering the dishonesty of the
leadership of those organizations.
Fearing general mass action, these
leaderships, as well as government
officials, are calling conventions and
meetings to put forth a plan that
threatens to make a serf out of every
farmer in the United States. This
plan calls for a suspension of court
action on all farmers affairs, for a
period of from five to seven months.
That means that when the 1888 har-
vest commences, the open season for
evictions and foreclosures will also
start. Are the farmers going to let
themselves be led into new feudal
system? Already plans are under way
to introduce such a law in the state
of Iowa. The misleaders of the Ne
braska section of the Farmers Union
opened a convention in Omaha this
week to uphold such a law. Edward
A. O'Neal, president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, in a speech
at Lincoln, Neb,, openly advocated a
national law to force such procedure.
The farmers should constantly be

FLA. WORKERS
FIGHT TERROR
Lopez Sentenced to
Serve on Chain Gang

TAMPA Fla, Jan. 27-Twenty six
days on the chain-gang for being a
Communist and found in Tampa"
was handed out to Armando Lopez,
militant worker here. A writ OF
habeas corpus to secure his release
pending appeal Of the case, similar
to that of Homer Barton, will be
filed in his behalf by Attorney E. L.
Bryan, retained by the International
Labor Defense.
The workers raised 5000 property
bond to bail him out pending the
appeal. This was refused by the au-
thoritieS.
Homer Barton is still held by i'm
migration authorities, without charge,
although he is an American citizen.
County Solicitor GiYens has an
nounced that If the immigration Of
ficers release Barton, he will see to
it that the state re-arrests him i'm
mediately, on whatever trunped-up
charge they can think up.
CeSario Alvarez, who WAS driven
insane on the chain-gang last year
while serving out q three-year sem
tence for his connection with the
strike of the Tampa Tobacco Work
ers in 1881, has been ldeported to
Spain, it was discovered here three
days after this occurred. He had
been transferred to the State In
sane Asylum at Chattanoochie, and
was taken cut secretly, shipped to
New York and so to Spain, without
informing either his relatives or the
International Labor Defense, his
legal representatives.
Panchito Valdez, Negro, II years
old, the president Of the Tampa La
Dor Temple, which is controlled by
the Tobacco Workers Industrial
Union, is still held on charges of
being a Communist" Two other
workers are also held.
Workers and workers organiza-
tons all over the country ps5 i'm

Tampa, sending wires and resolutions
of protest to Chief Of Police Logan,
of Tampa, and to Governor Dave
Sholtz, at Tallahassee.

UNITED FARMERS LEAGUE
FORMS NEW BRANCHES

NUNICE, Mich.--Although we are
not actually starving, being farmers,
the taxes, rents and mortgage inter-
est are piling up relentlessly. Most
farmers are aware that we cannot
expect TO meet our obligations under
existing conditions.
Our township is broke and is not
the only one in Muskegon County.
Red Cross flour is still available.
A couple of branches of the United
Farmers League have been formed.
We have not many members but have
already experienced the militancy Of
these in a few cases where farmers
were hard pressed by their creditors.
More and more farmers will visualize
the benefit of a new system of So
ciety as their poverty increases.

nothing" has already diSiIlusioned
large sections of his followers. The
tactics pursued by Won Schleicher of
splitting the Hitler party, have also
caused widespread disintegration in
the ranks of the National Socialist
party, with several of Hitler'S chief
lieutenents breaking away from their
allegiance to him.
GROWING REVOLUTIONARY
CRISIS.
The resignation of the Won Schlei-
cher Cabinet reflects the developing
revolutionary crisis in Germany, the
complete failure of Schleicher's pol
icies, supported by the Social De-
| mocratic leaders in the reformiSt
Unions, to alleviate the acuteness of
class antagonisms in Germany. With
the failure of Papen's policy of open
and brutal onslaught ON the working
masses, the role adopted by Schlei
cher was the application of more
skillful and elastic methods, the EN-
ployment of social" maneuYerS and
small concessions calculated to ere
lieve" the growing class tension, and
to steer the German bourgeoisie
through the fourth starvation winter
OF the devastating crisis, Schleicher
has failed in this attempt, despite
the traitorous support of the Social
Democratic leaders, and their "tol-
Grafton" policy openly advocated by
Leipart and other Social Democratic
leaders of the reformist unions. The
fall of the Schleicher Cabinet was
predicted in the International Press
Correspondence Of January 10 by
Conrade II. Neubauer, leader of
the German Communist Party. In his
article Comrade Neubauer pointed
out:
"The serious crisis which has
overtakep the Scbleieher cabinet
is in itself the expression OF the
enormous aggravation of the stu
alton in Germany itself. The first
cabinet of the capitalist crisis,
headed by Bruening, ruled for rs
months; the second, under Papen's
leadership, ruled for five and half
months; the third, under Schlei-
cher, is on the verge of collapse
after the lapse of two months"
The new cabinet will have as its
chief purpose the carrying out of new
and more brutal attacks on the
working-class. The German working
class, under the leadership of its
Communist vanguard, will answer
these attacks, as in the past, with
increased struggle against the CAPT.

LEGION HEAD HITS
FOREIGN BORN
Ignores Bonus; Makes
Attack on USSR

NEW YORK.-In a speech in
which he attacked the Communist
Party and the Soviet Union, Louis
A. Johnson, national commander of
the American Legion, urged the de-
poftation of militant foreign-bo
workers and demanded rigid immi-
grafton restrictions.
Johnsons speech was made at the
Brooklyn Elks Club before a gath
ering of Brooklyn businessmen and
politicians, where he spoke only for
the corrupt, boSS-o owned leaders of
the Legion and not for the rank and
file which includes many foreign
born veterans.
Not once did he mention the burn
ing issue of immediate payment of
the bonus and the proposed cuts in
disability allowances.

Other Leaders Abandon
Move After Clash.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, December 49, Bishop
Joachim Hossenfelder and other ex-
treme leaders of the Nazi German
Christian movement resigned tonight
after a hot all-day session attended by
German Christian leaders from all
parts Of Germany.
Two factions clashed head-on dur
ing the meeting-those VINO, like
Bishop Hossenfelder, insist on anti
Semitism in the church and who would
relentlessly oppose all who refuse to
join their ranks, and the moderates
who would support the less radical
policy of Reichbishop Ludwig Mueller.
Leaders Get Disappointment.
Meanwhile, leaders of the Evangelical
Youth movement, which embraces
about a million and a half young
ProtestantS, on reaching Berlin today
in response to summons by Reich
bishop Mueller, found to their chagrin
that the bishop had left town and
deputized subaltern to receive their
answers to an ultimatum.
This order forced the submission of
the Youth movement to a plan for CO.
ordinating it with the Reichs' Youth
movement and alleged this was the ex-
press wish of Chancellor Adolf Hitler.
Refuse to Negotiate.
Leaders of the Evangelical Young
Peoples movement, among them many
NaZi German Christians, declined to
negotiate with Mueller's deputy and
demanded instead to be shown the text
OF Mueller's treaty which provides thae

Evangelical leaders two days week
