tentions Of Norman. Meanwhile, May,
bankrupt chlorine, figures In the
lives OF gentlemen passengers. hoping
for proposal Of marriage. How she,
about to take the vow, Is sadly disil-
lusioned, but later shows up with still
another man. and. how Norman clears
Sue is neatly and wildly revealed.

French Cabinet Faces
Crisis Ouer Opposition
To Fascist Measures

PARIS, Nov. 4-The Doumergue
government faces a severe crisis
over its efforts to promulgate laws
to facilitate the development of
Fascism in France. The Radical
Socialist cabinet members. who at
the last moment yesterday night
switched their promises to support
the Doumergue dictatorial laws, and
forced the issue before the Chamber
of Deputies and the Senate, fore
cast a stormy parliamentary battle
over the issue, with the dissolution
of the Chamber and new elections
freely predicted.
The issue arose as a sequel to
the Feb. events, when the reac-
tionary forces in France utilized the
fascist rioting to put over measures
which led more and more to fascist
ends. This was followed by the
general strike of the French work
ers, and the establishment of the
united front of the Socialist and
Communist Parties of France, rally
ing millions of workers against fas-
ciSn1.
Doumergue began his campaign
for the new pro-fascist measures by
radio attack on the united front
trying to get the more tinid Social
list leaders to rupture their united
actions with the Communists. This
having failed miserably, he then be-
gan to work on the Radical Social
lists whose large bloc in the Cham

Hitler Holds
Storm Troop
War Farley

BERLIN, Nov. 4.-Hitler has been
holding war conference with the
Storm Troop leaders and outstand-
ing militarists in Germany, plan
ming action for the seizure of the
Saar in connection with the Saar
plebisciUe, to be held Jan. IS.
The Fascist press is whipping up
a chauvinist campaign against
France as a pretext for the mo-
bilization of Fascist forces to &C.
cupy the Saar. The French gov
ernment's proposal to the Saar
League of National Commission that
it will supply troops is being played
up by the Nazi newspapers.
Claiming that the Saar is Ger
man territory, the Voelkische
Beobachter, intimates that only
Fascist troops can enter it, and
that the movement of other forces
would be violation of the rights
of the German fascist government.

Bridgeport
Trial Of 6
Anti-Nazi Workers Case
Put Off Until After
the Elections

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, Nov. A.
Frankly stating that he did not wish
the administration of the Socialist
Mayor McLevy to get "unfavorable
publicity" Judge Shannon Of the
City Court yesterday continued for
next Saturday the trial of the six
anti-Nazi demonstrators arrested
last Friday.
Shannon stated bluntly that he
was putting the case of until after
the elections so that the Com
munists would not make political
capital out of the trial" BY poll
teal capital Shannon referred to
the exposure which the Communist
Party is making of the anti-work-
ing class policies of the McLevy ad-
ministration
The trial Of three other workers,
arrested for distributing Commu-
mist Party eelction leaflets was also
postponed for next Saturday for the
same reason.
Despite vigorous protests of Sam
Krieger, one of those arrested at the
anti-Nazi demonstration on Friday,
Shannon refused to hold an i'm
mediate trial.
The Bridgeport workers involved
in the case were arrested at a pro-
test meeting against the arrival Of
a Nazi agent from New York.
McLeVy had refused to grant a
permit for this demonstration.

Pension Act Decision Laid to Rail Union Chiefs

Finally he contends that ito re-
quire the plaintiffs to contribute
huge sums of money to be devoted
to the payment of pensions based
on services long since completed
and fully paid for, seems to me to
take their property without due
process of law" Not only would
such a change in the law rob work
ers of a substantial part of their
pensions, it would attack the whole
question of seniority and interpret
the pension as gratuity, a reward
for loyalty" for strike breaking,
ETC., instead of being a recognition
of services rendered.
An Unsatisfactory Bill
The Railroad Retirement Act as
finally amended and passed is far
from satisfactory to railroad labor
It's sets the precedent for employe
contributions where formerly the
roads paid the entire cost of their
private pension schemes. 1t places
not limit on the amount Of assess
ments which can be levied on the
men, leaving this decision to a board
of three presidential appointees,
whose chairman has the deciding
vote. 1t provides for pensions in
many instances less than half of
what a man formerly earned and
provides no minimum for the lower
paid men whose pensions would
run as low as from $40 to $50 a
month.
Contrary to the propaganda of
the roads many of the men will be
worse off under the Pension Bill
than they were under the private
pension schemes of individual roads.
The Pennsylvania Railroad expects
to save 100000 a year under the
Bill. The average pension paid by
the road is estimated at S63 a
month. Under the Retirement Act
the average is $50, a difference of
only ST. one-third of this con-
tributed by the men themselves.
Then why have the roads gone
cut Of their way to attack the con-
st.tutionality OF the Bill? Because

Der Of Deputies gives them the final
word on measures passed.
The main object Of the Doum-
cirque proposals, over which the par
liamentary crisis is now develop
ing, is to increase the dictatorial
power Of the Premier, to have the
power to dissolve the Chamber Of
Deputies, without the consent of
the Senate, and to issue more laws
by decree for war preparations, for
lowering living standards, etc.
Doumergue, in order to get the
Radical Socialists to support his
measures, threatened that if they
were not put over anarchy" would
result. He also held over them the
threat of renewed fascist riots, and
the perspective of forcing through
the laws by fascist coup supported
by the Doumergue government
forces.
The Radical Socialists, VIII o
have cabinet positions in the Doum-
cirque government, were faced with
a crisis in their own ranks, feeling
the pressure Of the masses against
the fascist DEGREES, and yet at the
same time desiring to aid Doum-
cirque against the growing united
front Of Socialists and Communists.
At first they promised to support
the laws, and this was so announced
in the French press. At the last
minute, they rescinded their ap-
proval, and now the issue is forced
into parliament.
