Metal Trades
Council OKS
Anti WarCall

SEATTLE, March THE Sc
attic Metal Trades Council
(AFL) has endorsed the North
west Congress Against War
and Fascism.
SEATTLE, March THE call to
the Northwest Congress Against
War and Fascism is now off the
press and is being sent to all
possible organizations. In the
short time that remains, until
the Congress, all interested indi-
viduals are urged to secure
copies of the call and see to 1t
that it is taken before as many
local organizations as possible.
In some localities, broad local
committees are bling formed to
mobilize support for the North
west Congress; this should be
done everywhere. Address all
communications to Ed Hendrick-
son, 313 Mutual Life Bldg, Sc
attic.
The first organization to elect
delegates to the Congress is the
Evergreen local of the Techno-
Gratis. In Tacoma, the Socialist
Party has endorsed the Congress
and is actively supporting it.
The Veterans Union OF Port
land, a rank and file organization
of approximately 100 World War
veterans, voted unanimously te
endorse the Congress and to elect
delegates.

KYLE PUGH RELEASED

slEDFoRD,, Ore, March II
Kyle Pugh was released on bond
obtained in Portland, on Feb. Il.
The state also released Pugh's
donkey, protesting over the fact
that they had to pay $l03 for the
Donkey's feed during the time
he was held. The state undoubt-
eddy regretted the fact that even
capitalism does not permit con-
fiscation of private property for
they probably would have been
very glad to destroy this donkey.

They Steal from
Hungry Children

No ordinary scandal, no usual
hand in the pork barrel, is the
vile VERA corruption, partly
brought to light in Olympia
and played down by the capital
list press.
There is nothing vague about
this steal of millions. The money
taken was intended for the relief
of hungry people, for bread, for
children's milk.
A starvation scale is the rule
for allotments to the unem-
ployed everywhere in the Unit
ed States. But relief in Wash
ington is the lowest for the
Coast!
If the money turned over to
the Martin-Ernst machine had
reached the unemployed, the
relief standard would have
been $40 instead of Sl.20 a
week!
Demand that ALL THE
FACTS of the robbing of thous-
ands of destitute men, women
and children be brought to
light!
Demand an immediate in
crease in relief! Demand the
money being stolen!

Maritime
Federation
Established
Conclave Favors
Militant Labor
Party; Unity

SAN FRANCISCO, March T.
Meeting here were representa-
tives of the International Long
shorements Association, Marine
Engineers Beneficial Associa-
tiOn, Sailors Union of the Pacific.
Marine Firemen, oilers, Water
Tenders Association, Marine
Cooks and Stewards OF the Paci-
fic, Ferry Boatmens Union, Am
erican Radio Telegraphers Asso-
citation, and the National Organ
ization of Master Mates and Pr
lots--a total representation OF
$4,000. A decision was made to
ratify the PROPOSED constitution
of an organization established.
named the Maritime Federation
of the Pacific Coast.
The constitution was drafted
under the militant Craftsmanship
of the Frisco LILA president, Har-
ry Bridges. The preamble mill
family declares itself "in favor Of
the formation of a thorough fed
Grafton embracing every trade
and labor organization engaged
in the maritime industry in order
to secure unified and harmonious
action in all matters directly at
fecting the interests and welfare
of the organizations involved"
Article 8 OF the constitution
calls for a vote of the member
ship for unified action of the
membership IL necessary, and
specifically states In Section 3
that "the vote will not be record
ed as vote by organizations but
as a majority vote Of the afifliat-
ed membership of the federation
voting as a whole"
The constitution calls for two
paid executives, the president
and secretary-treasurer, who
must be full-time functionaries
and can not hold position In any
other organization. 1t makes spe-
cifications for their recall with
a minimum of red tape, II neces-
sary.
A five-cent per month per capi-
Ia tax will cover all expenses and
act as a strike fund.
Each Pacific Coast state shall
be considered a district. Each
district shall have established
within it one district council.
OF outstanding political signif-
icance is Article IL, which deals
with political principles. Section
1 states the following: The Fed
Grafton shall consider and ex-
press it's views on all public ques-
lions and measures, especially
those affecting the interests of
the affiliated organizations and
the labor movement generally,
and shall work toward the form
alton and the establishment of q
union Labor Party"
This pledge to work toward a
labor party reflects the disgust
of the maritime workers with
the NRA and the two capitalist
parties, and their willingness to
fight for a class labor party-a
party of the working class based
on immediate demands. The final
establishment of such fedora
ton will be a long step forward
in the struggle for trade union
unity and points to still strong
er bond of solidarity among vari-
Gus sections of the working class.

 Attached is . condition that almost all of Italy's troops in its colonies be withdrawn except for those to be . part = the predom- insnt part - of an international police force.
 The French premier-foreign min- ister spoke with knowledge that i,e. solely, was a 100-to-1 chance for peace in Africa and perhaps in Europe; and personally, that he was risl<ing his political life.
 spoke Very Forcibly
 He spoke but for 10 minutes. Every word was forceful. Britain the Netherlands, Sweden and Bel ~ium had spoken unitedly for sup port of the league covenant, which provides penalties-military in ad- dition to economic if necessary against an aggressor nation.
 Within . few minutes after La !. val finished his speech, Sir Samuel Hoars, British foreign secretary sped by airplane to London to con- suit the government.
 France, divided between Italy and Britain, between support of inc league and fear of war on its : fertile soil. was the doubtful ele- meut.
 Every delegate was present to heaY him. So crowded were the public galleries that men and wo- men stood in aisles and sat on steps.
 The league council and its com mittee of five nations had spared no effort, Laval said, in their

not shrink from penalties against Italy if necessary. After referring to past successes of the league, he said:
 We succeeded yesterday. Shall we fail tomorrow? If we do new situations still more moving for all of us will require our examina- tion."
 Particular significance was at- tached to the strength of Laval's speech because of his reference to British support of the league in all circumstance, for France through the embassy at London has asked the British government if 1t would act with force similar to that in the present crisis in event that there was a similar one on the European continent.
 Blacks Down on Whites Charles T. re Water of South Africa moved delegates visibly as he told thom bluntly and soberly that a greedy Europe might bring blacks down upon whites.
 Appealing to the world against a new partition of Africa, he char acterized the present crisis as:
 "The beginning of a yet unde- fined movement by Europe tow ard capitalization of the still thinly overlaid war mindedness of the savage and war-lilse instincts of Black Africa-the training of the teeming black races of Africa for war"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-13

efforts to reach a solution of the Italian Ethiopian crisis which would take into account Italy's legitimate aspirations. But he said ::
 No Disagreement
 Tt must be clearly understood that there exists no disagreement between France and Britain which had demanded steady col- lective resistance to any and all acts of unprovoked aggression"
 We place our hope in the CO., operation of all peoples" continued Laval. ITO realize our ideal of peace.
 French representatives have constantly devoted their efforts to reinforcing the greatest interna- tionaI institution" (the league).
 He emphasized that Frances en- tire foreign policy was based on the league and added:
 France wishes peace for all by collaboration of all.' He spoke with unusual emotion of Italy's new friendship with France, and said that in the Stresa conference with France and Bri- tain Mussolini indicated his readi- ness to serve peace.
 "The price that attach to such solidarity Is general peace! he exclaimed.
 Phrases Were Guarded
 In carefully guarded phrases, fully realizing the vital importance of what he was saying, Laval hint ed that an Italian Ethiopian war might destroy French-Italian col laboration.
 "At Stresa, with the British dele gates, we found the chief of tho Italian government animated by the same determination to serve the cause of peace. believe he is ready to preserve this collabora- tion."
 Sir Samuel Hoare's speech, Laval said, clearly showed that Britain was determined to support the collective security system under all circumstances of time and place."
 AS he continued, delegates gen. orally believed that after trying his utmost to preserve peace, La- val and his nation would join Bri- tain and others in support of the league if Mussolini rejected the leagues final proposals.
 II speak in the name of coun- try which does not fear war but which hates it, said Laval. "A country which intends to remain strong and which is endowed with the highest military virtues, is anil mated by a fierce desire for peace.
 No Animus for Nations
 We have no animus against any people. We wish peace for all and collaboration by all."
 "I rejoice with my country, which understands fully the neces- sity of close collaboration with Britain for defense of peace and the safeguarding of Europe.
 France and Britain together, La val said, would support the league to the very end in event of an Italian Ethiopian war.
 He concluded with peroration which was interpreted by dele gates to mean that France would

But 1t is understood that if the situation arises, there will be two questions = 1, joint penalties; q, delegation by the League of Na- tions to individual nations of au- thority to enforce league penalties.
 Divide Responsibilities
 The British were reported to be seeking clarification of the possible extent of French collaboration In event of an emergency. It was rumored that the British would take care of the eastern Mediter- ranean, in event of cooperation, and France would patrol the North Sea.
 But while talk of penalties and cooperation goes on, Britain IS making ready in advance for an emergency.

sitting and how he could look into the living room when the fatal shot was fired.
 "Battin was sitting on a high stool preparing to eat some soup" Parke said. ''1t was too hot 50 he walked into the pantry way and looked into the living room. He contends that Rogers and Will liam J. Kelly were sitting on di- vans. Less than Q second or two after he saw them the shot that killed Miss Hoey was fired"
 Kelly was held with Rogers on suspicion of murder. Further tes- timony from the farmer indicated that Rogers deshed upstairs to his bedroom, saw the actress' body on the floor, attempted to raise her and got blood on his hands. Then, Battin said, Rogers dashed into the kitchen, called for help and col- lapsed.
 This was the first story told by the farmer and to-day he reiter- ated 1t word for word.
 However, during questioning last night he became confused and said he wasn't certain whether he had looked into the living room just prior to the firing of the shot.
 Rogers and Kelly, . guest at the farm, were held in the county jail here. Prison officials said both men slept throughout the night and seemed in good spirits to-day. Their attorneys visited them thls morning.
 Reports that Rogers had at- tempted to commit suicide in his cell were denied by prison at- taches.
 It was learned, however, that Rogers had begged his chauffeur. Frank Catalano, for gun on We'd nesday night after the body was found so that he could "join Eve". State Must Decide
 The state must decide by Satur- day whether it wishes to bring more definite charges against Rog- CTS and Kelly-otherwise the 29- year old playboy, whose father 50 disapproved of his inattention to the serious affairs of life that he left him only $5OO,00O trust A1Hu oub oL AAc Ahhltohop "hA seek his freedom on a writ of habeas corpus. This was an- nounced by attorneys who instruct ed their client to cooperate in no way with state investigators.
 Investigators, pressing an im- portant clue that might indicate Miss Hoey did not kill herself, said they would seek court order to obtain Rogers finger prints unless his attorneys changed their at- titude and permitted him to be finger-printed without that formal ity.
 Finger Prints Found
 Two sets of finger prints were found on the pearl handles of the lethal pistol. A finger print ex- pert was seeking to determine if one set was from Miss Hoey's fin gers. Before any conclusion can be reached, authorities intimated. the maker of the second set must be determined.
