CALLS FOR LA TOILETTE
FEDERAL INVESTIGATION

NEW YORK. The New York
Post, in an editorial, Twill the New
Deal Protect a Vigilante," has called
upon Secretary of Labor Perkins to
stop the deportation proceedings
against Lorenzo Puentes and sug-
gests that the La Toilette Senate
Civil Liberties Committee conduct
an investigation of the use of the
deportation laws as an anti-labor
weapon.
(Lorenzo Puentes, member of the
Cigar Makers International Union
and former president of Local 500,
entered the United States legally in
1926. On October rs, 1886, Puentes
was attacked by Lawrence Ponder,
who led a vigilante attack on Earl
Browder and prevented the candi-
date for President on the Communist
Party ticket to deliver his speech
at a scheduled election rally in
Tampa. Puentes pressed charges of
assault and battery against Ponder
in the Criminal Court. The vigilante
leader was bound over for trial in
February. On December 10, 1886,
Puentes was arrested and held for
deportation to Cuba, charged with
membership in the Communist Par
ty. Puentes' deportation is being
fought by the American Committee
for Protection of Foreign Born in
Tampa.)

its editorial as follows: 1.-THE La Fol

NAILS AND FA5(I5T5 FAN FLAMES
OF SPANISH CIVIL WAR

The following report from Berlin
contains definite proof of the active
participation by the Nazis in the
Spanish Civil War, and the help
rendered by them to the Rebel forces
of General Franco.
FRANCES army stopped short at
the gates of Madrid by the defend
ing workers has been promised the
aid of 10000 German volunteers
within the next few weeks. The
present number of Germans on the
side of the Spanish Rebels is esti-
mated at about ten thousand, but
new attachments are constantly dis
patched to Spain so that its full
strength will be reached soon.
How are these volunteers"
pressed into wal service on Spanish
soil? The answer is given in con-
fidential reports from military garri-
sons throughout Germany. In the
city of Cassel, cavalry, machine gun
and tank corps units of the regular
army were called out in full
strength and addressed by high Off
GERS who asked the soldiers about
their knowledge of languages and If
they were willing to volunteer for
an important mission abroad" All
those volunteering were promised
immediate promotion and higher
pay. The soldiers, however, re-
manned deaf to the entreaties; out of
a force of more than LOO men only
IA offered their services.
"On the following day, November
28th, the men were again called out
from their barracks and were sub
mitted to a general medical inspec-
ton which resulted in the selection
of IS specialists from the tank corps,
about 40 machine gunners and about
80 cavalry men. No longer was there
any talk of volunteering, but they
were CURLY told that they were to
go to Spain. They received a short
leave of absence to visit their fami-
lies and were then ordered to re-
port in Munich in civilian clothes.
Led by officers and engineers they
were sent via Austria to the port of
Genoa, and aboard an Italian steam
er to Spain. In Bavaria and the
Rhineland, similar arbitrary selec-
tons of cavalry men, machine gum
ners and members of the air defense
units have taken place. The Bavar-
ian force is estimated at more than
1000 men, including officers and en-
cheering experts"
"The high handed manner in
which these volunteers r dis
patched to Spain is also having seri-
GUS repercussions throughout Ger
many. At Munich hundreds of wom-
en- de1non strated before the Brown
House, the seat of Hitler's Party,
and complained bitterly against the
military command which refused to
inform them as to the whereabouts
of their sons in Spain. Suddenly, an
elderly woman climbed on a pedestal
and yelled, "The Leader has prom
ised that German blood will be shed
only for the defense of German soil;
now u sons and brothers must die
abroad for other interests" Police
and Nazi Storm Troop formations
succeeded in breaking up the dem
onstration but were unsuccessful in
arresting the woman who escaped
with the help of the people around
her.
1T is said in well-informed circles
that the military high command is
dissatisfied with the performance of
their volunteers and especially of the
war material dispatched from Ger
many. The tanks are much slower
than originally expected and the per-

|. !. Government
Copper Kingdom Compels Own
Terms; Repetition Of War Ex-
perience.

WASHINGTON. - Four hundred
pounds of copper have been bought
by the Navy Department in the open
market after two efforts had been
made to purchase copper under the
Walsh-Healey Act, which requires
that bidders for government eon-
tracts conform to certain minimum
labor conditions. The Navy Depart
ment had advertised for bids twice
before, but the copper industry pre-
sented a solid front in its refusal to
have anything to do with it.
On January 7 the Department
availed itself of the emergency
clause of the Act, which provides
that the Act need not apply to pur-
chases of material needed for i'm
mediate delivery. The original con-
tracts offered by the Navy Depart
ment called for $500, 600 pounds of
copper, which is a half-year's supply.

copper, which is a half-year's supply.
INDUSTRY CONDUCTED STRIKES
AGAINST GOVERNMENT
DURING WARTIME
The Nye Committees report on
the Industrial Mobilization Plan in
cludes a roll of dishonor'' of those
companies that refused to bid for
government contracts during the war
on the plea that the price offered
was not high enough. Among these
companies who conducted strikes
(term used by Senator Nye) against
the government were the du Pont
Company, Aetna Explosives Com
pany, Bethlehem Shipbuilding Com
pany, Anaconda Copper Company,
and there is a reference to Bernard
Baruch's testimony that there were
more instances of this sort during
the war"
Judge E. H. Gary, who represent
ed the steel producers, summarized
the attitude of the industry, manu-
acturers must have reasonable prof
its in order to do their duty"
The copper industry's strike is de-
scribed by the Nye report az follows:
On August 8, 1917, the War In
dustries Board offered the copper
producers a tentative price Of 221s
cents per pound for copper. This
was refused although the copper
emergency required immediate ac-
ton necessary to secure a supply for
our Government and our Allies"
The matter hung fire until in Sep
TENDER the Federal Trade Commits
sion reported that 81 per cent of the
production was costing the COM
panies less 20 cents per pound.
The average cost was 1876 cents and
important companies were producing
for 7 and 8 cents. Under these cir
cumstances the price of % cents per
pound, which the Board then sug-
gested, was liberal, to say the least.
Again the producers refused, hold
ing out for a 25-cent price. Mr.. Ryan,
of the Anaconda Copper Co., a
spokesman for the industry, stated
that if the price was fixed at % cents
lit would be impossible to obtain
the voluntary cooperation of the ma
jority of mine owners" On Septem-
Der 81, a month and a half after the
Governments first offer, the price
was fixed at 2312 cents, which repre-
sented a splitting of the difference
between the opposing views.
The Nye Committees conclusions
on this aspect of war profiteering fol-
lows:
Apparently the Government could
deal with these strikes by using its
war power to commander. Actual
