KRIM LAUNCHES ATTACK ON THE FRENCH LINES Riffians Take Towns in Extended Attack (Special to The Daily Worker) PARIS, June 26.—Abd-el-Krim and his Riffians today launched an attack against the whole French Moroccan front. The fight raged from the Atlan- tle Ocean south of Tangiers to the smail posts on the Moulouya river thirty miles injand from Mellila on the Mediterranean. The French sus tained heavy losses and were driven back, reports said. Krim’s objegtive was believed to be the great Fez Taza highway. In pre- vious attacks the French have been able to defend this road and thus safe- guard Fez, capital of morocco. Many villages were reported burned including at Elbali and Ain-Manteuf, south of Fez.

The Stock Brokers’ Association decided to close indefinitely. Strike Knocks Credit. The stock exchange reconsidered its earlier decision to carry on the regu- lar quarterly settlement for a two-day period until Wednesday, and upon the recommendation of leading British bankers announced postponement of the settlement until further notice. This action was taken because of heavy withdrawals of funds from na- tive banks by Chinese who are leay- ing for Canton. This is resulting in the wholesale withdrawal of the cred- its necessary to negotiate the quarter- ly settlements. Reports today said that Chinese banks in Macao, the Portuguese de- pendency, thirty-five miles west of here were experiencing runs and (Continue from Page 1) backed up Capellini in all his actions against the interests of the rank and file. The operators have violated their contracts with the miners in several sections of the anthracite region, but instead of fighting back, the district officials took the side of the operators against the miners. This was par- ticularly true in the case of Capel- lini, The Progressive Program. The militants in the union led by the progressive miners’ committee have issued a program containing the following demands: That all coal mined shall be on a tonnage basis with a $10 a day guar- antee for each miner for a six-hour day. A flat increase of $2.00 per day for all inside and outside day labor. Boys to receive the same pay as men for the same kind of work and over- time when allowed to be paid for at the rate of one time and a half and double time for~Sundays and _ holi- days.

ODAY, the first Anti-Imperialist Week, that will become an annual event, is inaugurated as the Wall Street bank- ers, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., float a new bond issue to fasten its financial chains upon South America,—$20,000,000 to the Mortgage Bank of Chile. : The Chilean bank is a government affair, organized to exploit the natural resources of the country. Its board of directors is selected by both the nation’s legislative cham- bers, and the chairman of the board and four officers are appointed by the president of the republic. Wall Street's international bankers, therefore, in disposing of $20,000,000 worth of bonds for the Mortgage Bank express great faith in the stability of capitalist rule in Chile. * * * With the blood of hundreds of workers in its nitrate fields upon its hands, the Chilean ruling class stands accept- able to the American financial interests. The massacre of the nitrate workers in the province of Tarapaca, on June 6-7, this month, by machine gunners sent ashore from a Chilean warship, much after the fashion of the murderous attacks on Chinese workers at Shanghai and Canton, not only with the consent but with the encouragement of the American profit-taking interests, should furnish much excel- lent food for thought for all American workers and poor farmers during this week’s attack against U. S. imperialism. The $20,000,000 bond issue floated % Kuhn, Loeb & Co. is the best stamp of approval that Wall Street could put on the Chilean government's slaughter of its own people. The of- ficial “O. K.” of American capitalism is put on Chilean cap- italism. NEW YORK, June 26-—The Work- ers’ School will give a course in pub- lic speaking on Saturday afternoons at the school headquarters, 108 Bast 14th street. The class will be dtrect- ed by William Weinstone and will hold its first session Saturday, July 11,3 p.m. This is not a general public speak- ing course, but has a very definite specific aim—namely, to prepare com- trades for active participation as speakers in the coming local election campaign in New York City. Carry Message to Masses. The campaign affords the party in district two a splendid opportunity to carry the message of Communism to thousands of workers. In New York City street meetings are an old es- tablished institution, and offer our party an excellent means of agitation | and propaganda. How effective thig can be, however, depends upon the number of such meetings. And this depends upon the number of speakers we have. ‘ The Workers’ School, realizing the great need of our party for trained speakers, has arranged the course in public speaking, which will be given in close co-operation with the local party organization.

Until the ruins cooled, search for bodies was impossible. The death included John Hogan, fireman, killed when a firetruck crash- ed into a post while enroute to the theater. A score were known to be injured, most of them caught by the blast in the Sanderson’s lunch room, located in the four-story theater building. Between 100 and 150 persons were in the theater at the time. A motion picture—‘Flaming Passion” was be- ing shown at the conclusion of one of with heavy clubs by police, white guard volunteers and sailors of fore- ign boats, who clubbed the demon- strators brutally and finally dispersed them, although sporadic fights broke out in many places. The strike of seamen and workers is continuing in full force, and a Hong Konk dispatch says that the “Empress of Asia” is unable to leave that port, not being able to get a scab crew. War Looms at Canton. HONG KONG, China, June 26.—<Ac- cording to reports from Canton, many Chinese troops are gathering in posi- tion in the Chinese city opposite Shameen, the foreign settlement where the British and French marines opened fire on Chinese paraders last Tuesday.

Yearly agreements termin- ating simultaneously in both the bi- tuminous and anthracite fields are favored against long time agreements. Unemployment benefits to unem- ployed miners, same to be paid from the profits of the iSWustry by the em- Ployers, and disbursed by the union, are demanded and the checkoff is supported as a temporary expedient for building up the union. The progressive miners also de- mand the reinstatement of all mem- bers expelled from ‘the union because of their political views, the rein- statement of the 1,700 members of urging subscriptions for the $20,000,000 bond issue, the boast is made that, “the nitrate deposits are the only large natural deposits so far discovered in the world,” and again, “the gov- ernment owns large and valuable tracts of nitrate lands.” Thus the government confesses itself the direct oppressors of the workers, without the intermediary. of the private cap- italist, altho the American Powder Trust, the Du Pont Powder Company, of Delaware, is heavily interested in the exploitation of the Chilean nitrate fields, The Chilean capitalist dictatorship basks in the sunshine of Wall Street's favor for its murder of workers, and in- creases that favor as it pledges itself to continue the ex- ploitation of the ing in order to meet the high rates of interest demanded and pay back the loan by June 30, 1957. * * * *. “The copper industry has been extensively developed, largely by American capital,” is another proud boast of the Chilean ruling class, Investigation discloses that the Amer- ican copper capital that is “developing” Chile is furnished English language.

BOMBAY, June 26.—The Japanese are buying cotton heavily on the Bom- bay markets. It is believed the gov- ernment is behind the buyers and the action is a precautionary measure in the event of war with China. eh WASHINGTON, June 26—The state department today announced the re- ceipt of the circular Chinese note ask- ing the United States and other pow- ers to take steps to revise their treaty relations with China. The note was handed to Secretary of State Kellogg by Dr. Alfred Sze, the Chinese minister, Kellogg con- ferred at length with Dr. Sze on the biology in the Rhea county high school. Dudley Field: Malone, one of the de- fense lawyers, in an interview de- clared that William J. Bryan, leader of the prosecution, is making money out of his christian beliefs. “The law was passed thru the hypnotic influence that Bryan is al- ways able to exercise over men who think for themselves,” Malone said. “He has appointed himself director of all truth and righteousness, and has assumed the role of, the infallible. One trouble with Bryan is that when he begins to think of god he associates himself with god, and decides that he is the representative of god.” INTERNATIONAL The program condemns Lewis, international president, John L. for his failure to comply with the terms of the constitution and publish the tabulated vote of each local in the last election. It demands an’ alli- ance with the transport workers and calls for the support of the United Mine Workers of America for the amalgamation of all craft unions into industrial unions. International trade union unity is urged and the movement for class collaboration condemned. The pro- gressive miners go definitely on rec- ord against the postponing of the in- ternational convention until 1927. Besides the industrial demands the program of the progressives also car- States and Chile, both the victims of American great finance and big industry. These connecting threads, linking the workers of all countries, steadily grow in strength as labor everywhere becomes more conscious of its world-wide identity of inter- ests. This year’s Anti-Imperialist Week will help broaden the vision of the whole American working class. It will help wipe out some of its provincialism. It will develop its inter- nationalism. Future Anti-Imperialist Weeks will see the American working class go into action, definite action in common with workers of other nations, not only against American capitalism, but. against the whole capitalist sys- tem, in every nation where it still exists. Thus the revolu- tion grows. PENNSY MAKES |PARIS POSTAL Paterson, N. J., Has Now Weekly Class in A. B. C. of Communism NEW YORK, June 26.—Despite the heat of summer, the English branch of the W.
