Az. L.LEADERS IN
ANTI-USSR DRIVE
Woll in New Attack on
Recognition

Matthew VOL, fascist vice presi-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor, fired another shot in the cam
paign of the A. F. of L. misleaderS
against recognition of the Soviet
Union by the U. S. government. VOL
made public a letter he sent to Balm
bridge Colby, who was secretary OF
state in the Wilson administration
which first formulated American i'm
perialism's anti-Soviet policy, includ-
ing non-recognition.
Vol in his letter makes one OF
his usual vicious attacks on the
Soviet Union in the name Of the
Russian people, (by which he means
the exiled capitalists, white guard
generals and parasites of every de-
Scription). He points to the fact that
it was a democratic government that
initiated the policy Of non-recogni-
ton and calls on the incoming DEM
ocratic administration to continue to
refuse to recognize the Soviet govern
ment.
Enormous sentiment among work
ers throughout the country, includ-
ing thousands of A. f. Of L. members
in favor of recognition is responsible
for the present campaign of the A.
F. Of L. betrayers, who are afraid
that the Roosevelt government may
yield to this mass pressure.

ROOSEVELT LAYS
BASIS FOR WAR
Strives to Clear Way
in Anglo-French Talks

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt is to take con-
troll of the foreign affairs of the us.
10 days in advance Of his Inaugural
ton in an attempt to effect an early
agreement with Great Britain and
France over the war debts as a pre-
liminary to clearing the decks for
aggressive action against Japan in the
present rapidly developing war situa-
ton for mastery of the Pacific and
control over China.
He will attempt to get the British
and French to agree to the holding Of
the World Economic Conference and
the discussion of trade concessions
to the U. S. before negotiations are
taken up on the war debts. BY Civ
ing precedence to the question of
trade relations Roosevelt seeks to
both secure concessions in advance
of the debt negotiations and to dull
the sharpening antagonisms growing
out Of the trade war and the Cebt
struggle, in the hope of thus obtain
ing British and French neutrality in
the impending conflict in the Paci-
fic. BY the usual demagogic talk of
seeking the restoration of property
of all nations" he attempts to cover
up the war aims of the Wall Street
Government.

Last week an inspector from the
Labor Department dropped in. Be-
fore that, the mechanic had been
working like mad to fix guards.
Around and around the inspector
wandered. He did not suspect a thing
when he saw machines with guards,
and the girls fooling around some
other work; he did not suspect a
thing when he saw machines with
guards, and no operators around at
all; he was too blind to see the fore
men rush around and slip on guards
to presses which had no protection a
minute before. IF he was the
least bit interested in such a thing as
our welfare, he would have asked us
press operators a few questions In

we are sure too that money did some

GREENCASTLE, Ind, Feb. o.
Theodore LuesSe, who was con-
victed to serve 500 days at the In
diana State Farm because he led
fight against an eviction of a
destitute family in 1881, will be
released around March Ii.
Luesse was candidate for gov
ernOr on the Communist Party
ticket in the November elections.
His campaign was conducted by
workers while he was serving out
his term. The sentence originally
was a fine of $500 which LueSse
was serving out at 81 day. Mass
pressure compelled the trustees of
the farm to remit $3.50 of the fine,
cutting off as many days from the
sentence.

The increasing militancy of the

through the country from the Allan

viewed with alarm by the bosses and

them as part of the gathering storm

that congress will be forced to come

near future adopt some sort of un-

BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE

CHICAGO, Feb 10. - Wheat
opened firm, unchanged to 4 cent
higher on the Board of Trade. There
was scattered buying at the start
and little pressure.
Liverpool, while lower on larger
southern hemisphere shipments. was
relatively steady and stocks were
firm, encouraging some buying.
Corn was firm and Is cent higher
with wheat The elevator fire caused
some removing of hedges in both
pits. Oats and rye were inactive at
the opening.
The market was unable to hold
Thursdays strong early advance,
due to professional buying on the
weather and firmness in stocks.
Liverpool was not as low as ex-
pected, showing IS to q cent lower
at mid-afternoon.
The complete destruction by fire
of two elevators operated by the
Rosenbaum Grain Company Thurs
day night, included some $4,000
bushels of corn, Col 900 bushels of
wheat, and 1000 bushels of rye.
Despite the weather the market
still is only a cent above the season
lows.
