World Negro
Group Appeals
On Abyssinia
Trade Union Committee
Protests Imperialist
Attacks

PARIS. Jan. 1.-THE Interna-
tional Trade Union Committee OF
Negro Workers here has issued an
appeal to the working class and in
tellectuals to protest against the
acts of war provocation Of fascist
Italy in forcibly occupying Abyssin-
ian territory. Addressed ITO the
black and white toilers!" the appeal
states:
1.-THE Italian imperialists, after a
battle between Italian military
forces armed with tanks, machine
guns and airplanes, and Abyssinian
troops have made an attack on the
native escort to an Anglo Ethiopian
(AbysSinian) Commission studying
boundary grazing rights.
Early press reports reveal that
though the Italian forces were
heavily armed with the most mod
ern weapons and bombing planes
the Abyssinians defended them
selves to the last ditch, resulting in
losses to the Italian army of &C
dead and 400 wounded, more than
100 Abyssinians being killed.
'AbySsinia has for a long time
been a highly coveted country for
plumber and the expansionist
schemes of Italian imperialism. Its
rich natural resources, the tremen-
dous possibilities of Transforming
the country into huge cotton plan
tations, the highly strategic posi-
ton which it occupies, have beer
the sources of keen rivalry between
the various imperialist powers, es-
pecially Italy, France and Britain
for control and domination.
"a new element in the struggle
for influence and domination in
Abyssinia is Japan, whose impe-
rialists, it is reported, have acquired
large areas Of cotton land in Abys-
sinia.
ITO carry out their program Of
exploitation, robbery and enslave-
ment of Abyssinia, the Italian inn

bloody attack and occupied the ter
ritory. This is what MuSsolin
means when he recently spoke Of
'Italy's historic, spiritual and cul-
tural mission in Africa
THE international working class
black and white, especially the Brit.
ish and French workers, must dem
onstrate their solidarity with the
Abyssinian toilers to maintain theil
independence from imperialist dom
nation. The workers must protest
to the Ialian consulates and or.
ganize protest meetings and actions
against this bloody attack of the
fascist rulers. Only united working
class action can save Abyssinia from
imperialiSt slavery. Fight for the
national independence Of Abyssinia!

corroborate evermore strongly the
view that Hauptmann, about whose
guilt no one who has been closely
watching the case has any doubt,
is not the only person involved in
the kidnapping. Mrs. Myra Condor
Hacker, daughter of DR.. John
(Jafsie) Condor, who was expected
to substantiate her fathers testi-
mony to the affect that Hauptmann
is the only one guilty of the kid
naping of the Lindbergh baby
startled the prosecution yesterday
when she declared that the person
who came to her fathers home with
a ransom note was not Hauptmann
Mrs. Hackers testimony is the
strongest evidence thus far adduced
at the trial to support the conten-
ton that a gang comprising at least
four people is involved in the kid
mapping and murder.
Reilly Names Two
Reilly yesterday partially fulfilled
his promise to name the four per-
sons he considers guilty by declaring
that he would charge Isidore Fisch
the Jewish furrier who died In
Leipsig, Germany, shortly after the
kidnapping, and Violet Sharpe, maid
in the Morrow home who committed
suicide after police questioning, as
two of the four. Reilly plans to
call a retired sea captain who will
place Fisch near Condon's home
during the ransom negotiations.
Fisch died penniless in Leipsie
and was completely absolved Of
completely in the crime by District
Attorney Foley of the Bronx at the
time of Hauptmann's arrest or
Sept. 20, 1884.
The mystery woman" who has
been linked with "Jafsie" was iden-
titled today as Mrs. Hermine Koron
Althogh she has still to testify, she
declared off the stand that DR.. Con-
don told her that the Lindbergh
ransom money was paid on a farm
in New Jersey near Hopewell, in
stead of at the gate of cemetery
in the Bronx, as Lindbergh anc
Condor have testified.
Handwriting experts who have
studied $1,000 letters in the Lind.

handwriting in the ransom notes
Several handwriting experts picked
by the Nazi government in Berlir
to help defend Hauptmann, left 10,

but that the troops would be brought home as 8 contribution by Italy toward maintenance of the peace of Europe.
 The Cosseria division is stationed at Benghaz, capital of Cyrenaica 300 miles west of the Egyptian from tier. It is believed that the division will be embarked within a few days and returned to Genoa, whence it sailed in mid-September. Its head quarters are at Imperia, near the French frontier.
 The withdrawal will leave two divisions of regulars in Libya.
 Each division comprises 15,000 men.
 It is learned that another divi- sion is awaiting dispatch to Libya if an emergency occurs.
 A foreign office spokesman, in de- nying reports that Premier Musso- lini had made any specific peace terms, said: No lines for a definite plan have be nlaid yet. There are only at present contacts between governments who ultimately hope ] to improve the general situation" No Gas Used Addis Ababa, Oct. 25--U.P)-Dr. Robert Hockman, American Mis- sionary and leader of the only Red Cross unit on the southern front, said to-day that despite charges of use of gas by Italians in their cam- paign, he had seen no evidence of it himself.
 "Use of gas has been rumored in the south since the earliest days of the war;" he said. "Ras Nassibu (the Ethiopian commander in chief) openly charged it's use. Other off, cials firmly believe it.
 So far as my experience is con- cerned have heard nothing except rumor and have seen no evidences of gas among wounded men re- turned to the base hospital at Jijiga.
 Tt seems logical that any one who had suffered from gas would have ben sent to me for treatment.
 Considering the general complete ignorance of gas among most sol- diers and commanders in the south it sems possible that at various times the Philippians experienced the thick fumes which follow the explosion of any shell or bomb and some thought it was gas."
 Judging from Hockman's exper- fences the casualties in the south to date have not (noD been heavy, although the Philippians are faced with the serious growth of scurvy, necessitating urgent calls on Addis Ababa and Europe for anti-scorbu- tic remedies.
 Hockman intends to return to his post soon, he said, with two English assistants, new trucks and supplies and money. ... British Ships ShuffIed
 London, Oct. 25, - O.P) - The admiralty announced to-day that the battleship Resolution would leave Alexandria for Portsmouth to- day and that the battleship Ramil- lies would leave for Alexandria Uo- vember to replace it. As the Families is in English wa ters now, there will be no reduction of the Mediterranean fleet.
 The admiralty in announcing the exchange of ships took pains to point out that the ships would pass each other between Gibraltar and England, or outside the Mediterran- can.
 Both ships are of the royal sover- eign class, 29,150 tons.
 Normally both are in the Mediter- ranean feet. However, the Families has been in home waters and re- gently was in collision with a mer- chantman.

To Work on MuSSOiln1
 At the same time it was indicated that Sir Eric Drummond, an1bassa- dor at Rome, would exert every ef-. fort to induce Premier Benito Mus solini to reduce his demands on Ethiopia.
 Belief was expressed that in the end Mussolini would make proposals or would intimate his readiness to receive proposals-less ambitious than those generally attributed to him now.
 The order of Mussolini sending one division of his regulars back to Italy from Libya was regarded as both significant and hopeful. He might have moved them further west along the coast of Africa or sent them to Eritrea to join in the war on Ethiopia. That he did not was regarded here as illustrating a desire to placate Great Britain.
 Formal Ceremony
 To-day's dissolution ceremony was formal one marked by the traditional color of the British parliament.
 AS soon as the ceremonies were over, members began leaving for their constituencies to seek re- election to the new parliament.
 There will be about l400 candi- dates for 615 seats, and Indications were that the coalition government would retain about 400 seats, large- ly conservative but with a scatter ing of national liberals and national laborites, and that the opposition, mostly labor with a scattering of liberals and independent liberals, would get the rest.

 Her counsel made a futile plea that she be. released on her own recognizance since she went to New ark and submitted to police ques- tioning voluntarily.
 Three employees of the tavern where Flegenheimer and his allies were shot down, also were held as material witnesses. Bail for each was set at $1,000.
 Judge Guthrie then issued war rants charging murder against three unidentified men, designated as Richard, John and Joseph Doe. These were for the two gunmen, who entered the chop house, and their driver, who waited in an auto mobile outside.
 Death Bed Whispers
 New York, Oct. 25.-tUP)-A youthful gunman snuffed out the life of Arthur CDutch Schultz Flegenheimer, 1t was indicated to- day as police made public a trans cript of the undnerwofld leaders incoherent mumblings on his death bed.
 Flegenheimer, delirious and suf- fering from a temperature that went as high as 107 degrees, rare- ly said anything that made sense, but once he answered detectives question as to who shot him.
 T don't know, sir" he gasped.
 Honestly, I don't. I don't even know who was with me. I went into the toilet and I was in the toilet when I reached the-the boy came at me-"
 Did the big fellow give it to you?" he was asked.
 "Yes, he gave it to me. I don't know who he was."
 The theory that it was youth that sent New York's leading gang ster to death was based on Fleg- enheimer's reference to "the boy" coming at him.
 Miscellaneous excerpts from other parts of the transcript: George, don't make no moves. What have you done with him. John, did you buy that hotel? You promised a million-sure. Get out, wished knew. You will have to please tell him, you got no case. You get ahead with the dot, dash system. Whose num- Der is that in your pocketbook, Phil 13780.

 New York, Oct. 25.-(UP)-On the day Arthur (Dutch Schultz) Fleg- enheimer died the rare triple zero came out in his $10,000,000 year policy racket, was revealed to-day. It was the first time in four years for 900.
 It was reported that players were plunging to-day on 835, which cor responds to the hour Flegenheimer died last night.
 Will Collect Taxes Albany, Oct. 25.-(UP)-New York state will continue it's efforts to collect income taxes on Arthur Dutch SchultD Flegenheimer's racketeering profits despite his death, State Tax Commissioner Mark Graves announced to-day.
 His civil liability to the state is not cancelled by his death, Graves said. "If he owned any real estate within the state, 1t can- not be transferred without the knowledge of the tax commissioner.
 If he has funds on deposit in any New York bank or trust com- pany they cannot be withdrawn without the consent of tie tax conl- missioner. If he has an ymoney, securities or other property in safe deposit boxes they cannot be taken out without the consent of the tax commissioner.
