The discussion has so far been con- cerned with Italy’s ability to liquidate her $2,000,000,000 debt. Mellon, Kel- log and Senator Smoot, representa- tives of the Coolidge government, are waiting for the fascist representa- tives to make a definite proposal. According to the policy of the Coo- lidge government, settlement must be made in full, on the basis of the debt funding arrangement between Great Britain and the United States. The war debt of Italy will not be re- duced, according to Mellon, and the ne, goilations will determine only the terms of settlement. Kellogg Tightens Screws Secretary Kellogg has served notice on the Italian debt commissioners that the United States expects payments on Italy’s debt to begin at once and that no moratorium will be granted. Kellogg’s statement, made at the opening of the debt conference, has not been mentioned in the official communiques issued vy secretary of the treasury Mellon as chairman of the American debt funding commis- sion, but it was evoked diwespread discussion in diplomatic circles. The exact words used by the secret- ary of state in communicating his very decided views on the debt situation to Ambassador Martino and Minister Alberti could not be learned, but he is said to have surprised them by stripping his language of diplomatic subterfuge and by telling them plainly that the United States was tired of _,talking about debt payments and “Wanted immediate action. Gold Is Hard To Get When he recovered from his sur- prise at Kellogg’s straight-from-the- shoulder statement, the ambassador replied that if the United States want- ed “Lira” it could have it immediately and no objections would be raised by the Italian government, meaning that it would be easy to pay in paper, but that gold would be harder to get. At this point, secretary Mellon in- tervened to turn the talk into more placid channels and a formal discus- sion was then held of the ability of Ttaly to liquidate her debt.

They will claim that |their shop is union, for has it not an agreement with the United Garment Workers Union? But the trade un- ionists of Chicago will not be fooled, and if the sentiment among members of the American Federation of Labor can be judged by the expressions of those interviewed by the DAILY WORKER, the scabby officials of the United Garment Workers will be run out of town. HONG KONG STRIKERS TIE UP CITY; BRITISH CENSORS STIFLE NEWS (Special to The Daily Worker) HONG KONG, China, June 30.— ; The censorship of all dispatches is most complete. The world is not to be told, if the censors of the Bri- tish government can prevent, that the city of Hong Kong is completely paralyzed by a general strike, the like of which has never been seen in this city before. A limping effort was made today to run some of the tram cars, manned by British and Portuguese scabs. Not a Chinese will touch hand to work for any foreign interest.

This is the second batch of furni- ture manufacturers to piead guilty to wholesale indictments. Two weeks ago chair manufacturers were fined.

Vote of Censure Fails. LONDON, England, June 30.—A mo- tion of censure moved by Ramsay MacDonald, directed against the gov- ernment for failure to solve the un- employment problems was voted down by the tory majority in the house of commons by a vote of 373 to 143. + 8 (Special to The Daily Worker) LONDON, June 30.—An uprising of workers unless governmental action found a cure for the industrial woes of Great Britian was predicted today, asthe laborites prepared to move a vote of censure of the Baldwin cabi- net, based on the labor situation. His motion will precipitate hot de- bate in the house of commons to- night. Liberals are expected to rally to his support. Premier Baldwin’s position will not be endangered, back- ed as he is by a strong tory majority. Unemployment Grows. The move for a vote of censure comes at a time when unemployment is steadily increasing the already alarming figures. The average num- ber of unemployed the past week has been 1,250,000. Chairman Swales of the Trades Union Congress, says the unrest has reached the danger point. “Unless something is done before next winter,” Swales predicted, “we shall see a rising of the peple.” Baldwin Has No Program. Premier Baldwin will reply to the laborite attack, but it was not thought today that he has anything definite in the way of a program. The coal and rail troubles which loomed last week with the prospect of a general coal strike as well as cur- tailment of employment of railroad workers seemed no nearer solution. der the terms of tke note to hand in to her erstwhile enemies all data which she may have concerning new patterns. GIRLS STRIKE AGAINST SPEED-UP, WAGE CUTS IN LOWELL SILK STRIKE (Special to The Daily Worker.) LOWELL, Mass., June 30.—(FP) —Fifty girls working in the wind- ing and quilling departments of the Lowell Silk Mills are striking in protest against the additional work given them without additional wa- ges. The workers claim that their wages are actually reduced by the increased amount of work required of them. The girlsiwere made to operate more machines. Officials of the company say that the girls can still make $20 a week, their former wage, with the addi- tlonal work. The girls say that their rates were reduced from 43 to 28 cents per box In the winding depart- ment which would enable them to earn only $11 a week.

McKinley had died and Roosevelt was called on to seive the greater part of Mark Hanna's president’s second term. When Roosevelt was elected in 1904, the battle started as to whether it was really Roose- velt’s first or second term. Roosevelt settled that by putting in his friend, Taft, in 1908, and then trying to stage a come- back in 1912. But he failed. Wall Street decided it had had enough of him. * * * e So Coolidge got a good slice of Harding's term, when the latter died. “Third term talk,” therefore, now includes a discussion as to whether this is Coolidge’s second term, to which he was elected last November, or whether his second term wouldn't really start following re-election in 1928. All of this twaddle, of course, is not important, except that it shows how the propaganda organs of the great inter- ests like to play with the “voters.” That is “democracy.” If Coolidge is wanted by his sponsors for another term, 1928-1932, he will be kept in the White House. The lead of the N. Y. Times and the Hearst press in this direction is only another symptom of the breakdown of the demoeratic forces, more evident now than during the presidential nominating convention in Madison Square Garden last year. The “third term for Coolidge” talk will no doubt find running parallel to it the renewed discussion that “one party is enough,” that the two-party shell game should be abolished, and all good “Americans” unite behind-the G. O. P. oe Little is heard of the congressional elections next year. The feeling grows that if the president is safe, with his “dic- tatorship” thru his cabinet of multi-millionaires, then it mat- ters little how much discussion takes place in the senate and house of representatives. The vote can always be depended on to swing in the right direction. The Coolidge dictatorship may not be as open and as bloody as that of Mussolini, in Italy; Horthy, in Hungary; and De Rivera, in Spain. But it is similar in this, that the forms of parliamentarism, as is also promised in Greece since the last revolution, are retained while reaction is in the saddle one hundred per cent. It has not been found necessary, as in Chile, to depose parliament and draw up a new “constitution.” If the promised con- stitutional liberties interfere with capitalist interests; then they can be declared unconstitutional, as in the Gitlow case, Ma which the freedom of speech is completely crushed under ‘oot. ° * ° ° The “third term for Coolidge” talk is merely a strength- ening of the capitalist dictatorship in the United States. George Washington, after two terms, stepped aside as the first president of the nation, to show that he did not want to be another king, in fact or in name. But that is now con- sidered “old-fashioned” and out-of-date. American capital- ism must not now be disturbed, even by a fraudulent two- party controversy every four years. But the rise of the workers and poor farmers, building a political power of their own, will raise the standards of the class war, more challenging than ever, within the rotten hulk of capitalist parliamentarism itself. They will do this under the leadership of the Workers (Communist) Party, disturbing the powerful forces of greed even in this hour when they feel themselves most comfortable. Against the capitalist dictatorship the rising proletarian dictatorship. That is the challenge that America's Oppressed will throw back, with increasing strength, against the best laid plans of the money power to further entrench itself thru the Coo- lidge dynasty in Washington. a, ANTI-EVOLUTION | [Atex Reto 10 speax ers into wage slavery in the mills, whose astute directors, like birds of prey have gathered around the pov- erty stricken coal camps to fatten on the “by product” of the coal indus- try’s oppression— the otherwise “wasted” labor power of the women and children of the miners. A general tie-up of the silk mills thruout the valley is not improbable, providing the strike organization is perfected. Edward F. McGrady, or- ganizer of the A.

He threw a heavy mine sprag at the girls, hitting one on the head and rendering her unconscious. She is still at Mid-Valley hospital. When this occurred the pickets counter-attacked and Burgess Davis, dignity and all, was mauled and sent home with a scalp wound from stones thrown by the strikers. Another girl striker was also car- ried from the scene unconscious after the melee. Trial of Ku Klux Klan, Murderer of Communist Postponed Until Sept. «Special to The Daily Worker) BENTON, Ill, June 30.—The case against O. P. Bozarth who is charged with the murder of Boris Popovsky, former Y. W. L. and Workers Party member, was postponed until Sept. 4, 1925. The attorney for the defense asked for the postponement on the ground that he is ill and unable to conduct the case. An affidavit signed by the defense attorney's physician was produced as evidence in the re quest for a continuation. The case had been postponed several times be- fore and now no one doubts that the defense is trying to stall the case off as long as possible to wear out the Prosecution witness ane the family of Boris Popovsky. Bozarth is sald to be a member of the K. K. K. and has @ reputation for brutality. Boris Popovsky had been arrested several times before by Bozarth, each time on a fake charge of speeding. Before coming to West Frankfort Popovsky lived in Madison, Ill, and was very active in the party. On coming to West Frankfort he became active in the Y. W. L.
