TAMPICO, Mexico, Jan. PAIL
industry and transportation have
been effectively tied up by the gen.
eral strike Of $4,000 workers in the
State of Tamaulipas, who walked
out in sympathy with the striking
oil workers yesterday morning. More
than 81 unions joined in the action
to force the Wall Street and British
oil companies to grant the demands
of higher wages for the oil men.
Troops and police are patrolling
the streets Railways, buses, tram
ways and taXicabs stopped when all
of the workers joined the strike.
The general strike committee is
making provision for supplying the
needs of hospitals, and are issuing
special licenses for automobiles in
case of emergencies for doctors.
The Mexican department of con-
citation and arbitration is taking
hand in the strike in order to
try to force a speedy termination.
It is said in Tampico that the strike
will last only 46 hours, but no time
has yet been set by the general
strike committee, which is formed

Amter Urges Continued
Fight Against Latest
Hunger DEGREES

Israel Amter, National Secretary
of the Unemployment Councils, yes
terday branded the Roosevelt re-
lief program as one designed to re-
duce still further the present relief
standards, drive down the wages of
the employed and set up a vast re-
lief bureaucracy to tighten the die
tatorial hold of the monopolies and
industrialists, through their hired
servants in the government, on re-
lief.
with The use of gag rule of the
most vicious sort, and by the ap-
plication of Hitherto methods, the
United States Congress has sub
mitted to the autOcratic rule of the
Wall Street bankers through Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Roosevelt demands
unlimited control of the four bill
lion dollar social security fund,
so as to build up undisputed con-
troll, as he hopes, for Wall Street"
Amter's statement said.
Roosevelt has made it known
that the average wages on the pGS~
lie works will be $50 month, v1ry-
ing according to locality. This is
the hunger standard of living that
the Wall Street government ordains
for 100000 unemployed workers.
THE National Unemployment
Council warns the workers that no
time dare be lost. Tonight Roose-
velt's proposals will be law! To-
night, the autOcrat in the White
House will crack the whip Of hun
ger over the backs Of the masses
as never before. Roosevelt and
Wall Street may be pOwerful-but
nothing is more powerful than the
united power of the working class.
We take up the chalIenge-the fight
is on!"

uniting our ranks in the fight for

JAPAN BOMBS
CHINESE CITY;
MANY KILLED
Three Towns Seized as
Army Advances in
New Invasion

KALGAN, China, Jan. 24-Air-
planes assisting japanese troops,
said to number over 1000, pushing
into Chahar Province, dropped ten
bombs on Tushikou, inside the
Great Wall today, official reports
said.
After selling three cities on the
Jehol-Chahar border, the Japanese
troops entrenched themselves, pre-
pairing to advance further westward
to Dolon Nor. The number of dead
is reported as so Chinese and 10
japanese, not counting the civilian
population killed in the fighting.
Considerable uneasiness is felt in
Peiping and the surrounding areas,
as the present drive of the Japanese
militarists is considered only the
initial move to a larger offensive
westward and southwark.
The Chinese newspapers through
out the country charge that the
japanese are deliberately inventing
new pretexts, such as the existence
of irregular troops" under the
leadership of General Sung Chen
Yuan as an excuse for Selling
greater slices of Chinese territory,
particularly in Chahar and Mon
golia.
The Japanese military move
ments follow hard upon peaceful"
expressions and intentions in China
recently uttered by Premier Kesuke
Okada and Foreign Minister Koki
Hirota.
The revolutionary press in China
points out that the japanese drive
into Chahar was prepared with the
assistance of the policies of Chang
Kai Shek, who not only withdrew
Kuomintang troops from the path
of the Japanese, but sent them to
fight the Red Army of China.
Chang Kai Shek has been negotiat-
ing secretly with the Japanese min
lister in China, and through the
Peiping Council of the Kuomintang,
with the Japanese militarists in the
North of China, doing everything
possible to make easier their inva-
sion of North China.

Strike Chart
Is Exhibited
AT Trial of l8
By Michael Quinn
Especial to the Daily Worker)

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Jan. "a
Sacramento workers and out of
town liberals are daily crowding the
Superior court here where eighteen
workers are on trial for their strike
activities on charges of violating
the California criminal syndicalist
law. Copies of the Daily Worker
and the Western Worker, which the
prosecution is trying to prove
illegal" are eagerly bought up as
they arrive.
A blue print chart of California
strikes during 1882 and 1888 was
introduced by the prosecution today
to prove seditious interference with
industry and agriculture.
A chart on the general structure
of the Communist Party, published
in the Party Organizer, May, 1891,
was also introduced as evidence,
including accompanying statements
on safeguarding the Party and its
leadership. Leo Gallagher, Inter
national Labor Defense attorney,
carrying the attack to the prose-
cution, demanded that a large
reproduction of the chart be put
before the jury tomorrow.
The defense subjected Officer
Russ, who identified 1879 exhibits
of literature, documents, ETC., as
seized in the raids on the Workers
Book Shop, to a grilling cross-ex-
animation during which it was
clearly brought out that Russ does
not know what was taken in the
raids. A request by Gallagher for
permission to examine other articles
alleged to have been seized in the
raids but not entered in evidence
was denied by Judge Dial M. Lem
mon, presiding at the trial.
Gallagher, questioning special
prosecutor Neil McAllister, blasted
as forgery the letter use by Nc
Allister, defeated candidate for dis
trict attorney in the recent elections,
to prove" that Upton Sinclair,
former Socialist who won the
democratic nomination for COVER
nor of California, was a Communist.

SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. "a.
AT a meeting of less than 100 of

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. "a
While cries of "Hitlerism' and dis

Roosevelt political machine today
capitalized on congressional opposi-
ton by further restricting the 81
880,OOO,000 relief bill by striking out
long list of types of projects on
which funds could be expended.
The amendment permits Roose-
welt to utilize the huge relief fund
for Federal or nom Federal
projects" thus releasing any of
the funds for war preparations
The blanket control which the bill
confers on the president is an "un-
touchable" section, and amendments
may be offered only to other sec
tons
The relief bill, which Roosevelt
has demanded be passed without
strings attached" limits average
relief wages to $50 month provides
Jobs for only one out of every five

its entirety. and carries a provision
for $4,000 fine and two-year

BUTTER N CHEESE

Butter and cheese production in Mon
tana for the first half Of 1885 was less
than for the same period a year ago,
according to B. F. Thrailkill, chief of
the dairy division of the state depart
ment of agriculture. There was, how
ever. a marked increase in the man
ufacture and consumption of ice cream,
it was stated. The decline in the cheese
output is attributed to the fact that
many of the farmers in the Bitter Root
valley turned to the production of case
in, owing to the low price of cheese.
Reduction in the output of butter is at
tributed to the large number of cows
taken from production by the govern
ment's relief program. The butter pro-
duction for the first half of the year
wa 6,341 .813, cheese production for the
same period was 796, LOG pounds, and
the casein production was Al, ESQ. The
ice cream output totalled 1926, 146 gal
Ions.
