Wants European Labor Imported to’ Replace Negroes Gone North NEW YORK, 26.— Colonel Har- vie Johnson, secretary of the Ameri- can Cotton Association, virtually ad- mits that labor conditions in factory and farm are worst in his Dixieland than in the north, where he says, that the million southerners;who have emi- grated to the north, largely to north- ern factories, in the last four years, will never return.

As a mafter of fact, the date of the inauguration of the conference has not been fixed yet, the ‘parties to it, having not reached any agreement so far. pen aie It. appears that preyious.to the con- ference there are to he settled some questions connected with, the execu- tion of the agrement concluded be- tween the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and China. on May 31, 1924. Thus, it is supposed that a series of questions, such as the dis- bandment of white guards enlisted in the Chinese army, the handing over of the property of the Russian orthodox church mission, and a number of others, will be settled before the con- ference, so as thus to clear the way for the successful labors of the latter. It has been learned, in particular, that a serious discussion was taken up between the Chinese delegates and the Soviet embassy of the question of the railway, which has been Jeased to the Japanese in Manchuria and, which is aimed economically against the in- terests of the Chinese Eastern , rail- way and in favor of those of the South] 1 Manchurian railway, and, strategical- ly, against. the safety. of the union and China. It is suggested that, the issue will also be taken up,between Moscow and Tokio. 4 : Palmer Raid Victim Deported After Five Year Court Process PITTSBURGH, Pa., May, 26.-Peter Stankovitch, South Slav, has been or- dered deported. nahinatit ) -This-action marks the end of 4,fve- year fight in the courts. conducted mainly by. the Labor Defenge, Council against the deportation of, Stanko- vitch.

Stankovitch was one of the victims of the infamous Palmer “Red Raids” of 1920. He leaves a wife and family in this country.

Don’t Think Much of U.T. W. of McMahonin Maynard, Mass., Mill By ARMAS WEST. MAYNARD, Mass., May 25.—There is only one industry in this town, the Assabet Mill, owned by American Woolen Co. The Assabet employs three thousand-.one hundred opera- tives—nearly half of Maynard’s popu- lation, The factory produces only wool, Unionism prevails only among the spinners and weavers, but their mem- bership is small and select. They all are associated with the United Textile Workers. Last night there was a mass meet- ing for the purpose of organizing all mill workers. President McMahon and Organizer T. Reagan of U.T.W., spoke to a “mass” of 50 to 60 workers of Local 771. McMahon stressed upon the “economy” of the employers and reviewed the struggles of textile work- ers since 1919. Organizer Reagan spoke about the American Woolen Co.'s reorganization plan, which might reduce wages and repeal the 48-hour law in Massachusetts, T asked several workers why didn’t they join the union? And all answered that the U. T. W. in Maynard is a company union subject to the power of the bosses. All have been former members. All that the U. T. W. is doing in Maynard is collecting dues from members ($1.00) a month, One worker remembers when dur- ing the war several liberty bonds were bought with the dues money, ‘These workers all say that radicals are refused membership in the union and their idea of a strong union is one industrial union and not several petty ones, The spinners refuse member- ship to everybody unless they are spinners.

RECOGNITION OF SOVIETS AIM OF U. 5, BUSINESS NEW YORK, May 26.— The New York correspondent of the Rosta News Agency: reports that an influ- ential, tho not official, institution rep- resenting American commercial cir- cles has made a thoro study of the commercial treaties existing between the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- lics and other countries, with a view to determining the eventual condi- tions and pogsjpilities of a Soviet-Am- erican treaty, of, commerce, The treaty; recently concluded be- tween Germanyand the United States was taken ag.@,hasic document, which was then carefully compared with the Italo-Soviet treaty. Agreement Possible. It is learngd that while the investi- gators did come to the conclusion that the monopoly: of foreign trade, as es- tablished in;the Union of Soviet Re- publics, presents. obstacles to the con- clusion of a treaty between the U. S. 8. R. and the U.S. A. on the usual lines of American commercial treaties with other countries, yet an agree- ment is held .quite possible provided Ithe United States decides to make a slight departure from the traditional American policy. : The institution in question has also been going into the recent Soviet- Japanese treaty from the viewpoint of its consequences for American com- merce; As @ result, it has been rec- ognized that the Japanese forestry concessions in Siberia may, in the future, unfavorably affect the export of paper and wood pulp from the Unit- ed States to Japan. Japan Gets Soviet Oil.- The fact that this treaty will con- *|tribute to a considerable increase of Japan’s oil and coal stocks is also causing some anxiety in the States. All the above considerations, eman- ating as théy do from informal sourc- es, certainly’reflect the ever-growing interest foré#hie'U. S. S. R. among the American busihess circles.

OF LABOR STARTS MOVE T0 DEPORT FINNS Follows Advice of White Guard Informers DULUTH, Minn., May 26. — Antt Johannes Rintala is held in $1,000 bail, set in a hearing before Immigra- tion Inspector O. 8. Remington after his arrest in Two Harbors on the charge of illegal entry. Rintala was accompanying his 10-year old datgh- ter on a tour of the country. Signe, the daughter, is an accomplished singer and has been in concert in various parts of the United States. This arrest comes on, the heels of the prosecution of Mrs, Sanna Kan- masta, who aside from heing charged with Mal-entry, {s also held under the war-time passport act, Mrs. _ Kan- nasto, who like Rintala, is Finnish, was arrested on the information of a white guard Finnish informer, Work of Stoolpigeon. It is revealed that Rintala, in con- junction’ with his daughter’s con- certs, has been showing stereoptican pictures of the Finnish civil war, ten per cent of the proceeds of the enter- tainments going to the aid of Finnish class-war otphans. There is no doubt but that Rintala’s arrest was also made on the advice of a stoolpigeon. This persecution of Finnish radicals in this section of the country where the Finnish population is quite heavy, is the direct outgrowth of a struggle in both the United States and Can- ada between the “red” Finns who sup- port the working class movement in Finland and the “white” Finns whose sympathies are with the reactionary Finnish government. It is plain that the United States department of la- bor, thru its local immigration au- thorities, is giving unqualified support to the “white” Finnish faction in its diligence in following the advice of informers in making these two ar rests. It is very possible that the arrests of Mrs. Kannasto and Rintala are the beginnings of a concerted drive against radical Finnish residents in Northern Minnesota.
