Industry contends that through the
early years Of the depression the

with the NRA relaxing the anti

Toledo Labor Council
Back Local Conference
Against War, Fascism

TOLEDO, O., Dec. 9.-The Cen
trial Labor Union of Toledo, has
affiliated with the American League
Against War and Fascism and has
sent an official representative to the
Toledo Conference Against War and
Fascism, to be held at the Y.M.C.A.
423 Michigan Street, Sunday, De-

The action of the Central Labor
Union, which usually takes a very
reactionary stand on such questions
is to be attributed chiefly to the
mass support which the Toledo
Branch of the American League
Against War and Fascism has
rallied within the last few weeks.
The Plasterers Union here has
also elected delegates to the con-
ference, at its meeting Thursday
night. BY the enthusiastic support
coming from many organizations of
workers, the conference promises to
be very large.

Strike Aided
Spanish Revolt
Thorough Tie-Up Was
Effected ID espite
Anarchists

MADRID, Dec. 9. - The usual
vigor and solidarity of the Spanish
railwaymen in the recent revolt
against fascism is now verified by
further details of their activity on
the second day of the armed strug-
gle.
Every depot went on strike, and
the strike was 100 per cent effective.
At the North Station in Madrid
IS per cent of the railwaymen
struck work. Anarchist leaders en-
ployed there acted as scabs. They
endeavored to induce the railway
men TO resume work on the grounds
that the struggle was a political
enc.
In Asturias all the railwaymen
joined the strike with the exception
of those aiding in the transport Of
armed workers and armored trains.
The government sent scab gangs to
the depots, and soldiers with a
knowledge of railway work for the
railway service. The railwaymen
blew up the rails, removed parts Of
engines, ETC., to prevent scab work.
The Bulletin" of the workers
points out that the great weakness
of this struggle on the part of the
railwaymen, in spite of their heroic
determination and courage, was the
lack of leading center to coordi-
nate the whole struggle.
The Unitary Syndicat del Norte
now sets itself the main task Of
establishing trade union unity,
Their slogan is now: A trade union
section at every depot"
The International Committee of
the railwaymen is organizing the
international solidarity action for
the discharged and arrested rail-
waymen, and appeals to the toiling
masses of all countries to join in
this action for the reinstatement of
the discharged men, especially
Pablo Lafuente and Moros, and for
the immediate release of the ar
rested men, particularly Licio San
tiago, Antonio Romo, Arturo jim
inez, Felix Lumbreras, Sotero Mar
tin, and Jose Lafuento.

from the courtroom by Judge Nc

they applauded the argument of
defense attorney Ben Thall for a
motion to quash the indictments.
John Adams, Frank Prickett and

conduct of the judge. Their mill
tant protest, however, and that of
other workers in the courtroom,
resulted in their release fifteen
minutes later. Judge McWilliams
also rescinded his order barring
spectators from the court.
The motion to quash the indict-
mentS was denied after the defense
rested its argument without rebuff
tai. Judge McWilliams, in denying
the motion made a speech of full
some praise for the Roosevelt New
Deal administration, saying, The
government is doing everything it
can. People are living in heaven
now compared to the time of the
American Revolution" The trial
date was set for Jan. 7.

statement is taken by the defen-

be an implication that the fascist
methods used by the court thus far
in the trial will be continued.
The prosecution here is being
aided by A. D. Dennison of DAN

mlSSarS, following the decisions re-
Gently concluded at the plenum OF
the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union,
The decree provides for the uni
yersal trading Of baked bread, -four
and cereals in the state cooperative
shops. Substituting the present
high commercial prices and too low
card system prices there have been
established fixed single zone retail
prices. Eight zones were introduced
for which the decree established
prices on baked bread, -four. cereals,
macaroni, beans, rice and bran.
In connection with the abolition
of dual prices and the establish
ment of single retail state price
on bread, there must result some
raise of prices on bread compared
with existing ration prices. Accord
ingly, the wages of workers, en-
ployees, the scholarships of stu
dents and the pensions of those re-
ceiving social insurance have been
raised for 1885 by 100000, 900
rubles. The Finance Commissarist
and the All-Union Central Trade
Unions have taken into account the
price privileges established for the
different groups and categories of
workers under the old card system
in distributing the wage increases.
Furthermore the decree also
raises the delivery prices on agri-
cultural raw material as well as on
furs, fish, ETC., in accordance with
delivery zones The decree orders
the extension of the retail trading
network on the sale Of bread by TO-
300 stores by Jan. 2, 1885 and to ex-
tend bread-baking and to increase
the production of bread-plants and
bakeries by 1880 tons daily by
the same date.
Advising the local Soviet author
tiles and the trading organizations
on their uninterrupted sale of var
ious assortments of baked bread,
the decree simultaneously warns the
Home Commissariat to conduct a
decisive struggle against any at
tempts Of spectators or their in
termediaries to utilize the abolition
of the card system for the purposes
of speculation.

miles into Abyssinian territory from
the border of Italian Somaliland
it was reported here today. Armed
with tanks, artillery and planes, the
italian forces attacked a joint Brit
ish-Abyssinian commission engaged
in surveying grazing land and after
the battle pushed still further into
Ethiopian territory.
The border attack is the second in
as many months, the last incursion
having taken place on Dec. 5. Ital-

the rich territory owned by the
despotic Emperor Halle Selassie and
is anxious to add to her account of
colonial exploitation as much Of

as she can grab.
