Marshal Lyautey has issued an urgent call for 80,000 more tropps, and the French war office admits a severe defeat at the important city of Taza. Abd-el-Krim, Riffian leader, is launching a new offen- sive on both the Spanish and French fronts. A general uprising of the Moroccans hitherto held in subjec- tion to French imperialism, has commenced, both at the front and behind the lines, Premier Painleve has announced. The capital of French Morocco, Fez, and the strategic town of Taza, are gravely menaced, as is the main railway to Algeria. TF 9PAY: a copy of the June issue, of the Manufacturers’ Record, of non-union Baltimore, Md., arrives with the front cover page and four inside pages devoted to an Anti- DAILY WORKER blast, with which it hopes to awaken “the more intelligent, thinking business men of the country.” The euphonious phrase, “vicious and vigorous,” is ap- plied to the DAILY WORKER in bitter condemnation, espe- cially of its Special International May Day Edition, that was picked out to bear the brunt of the attack of this “open shop” One verbal broadside was as follows: Reports are current that Taza has already fallen into Krim’s hands. Lyautey, in a message to the gov ernment, declares that as two-thirds of his 100,000 troops are native, he must immediately have 80,000 more troops or he cannot vouch for the se- curity of France’s colonial empire, + esi sato WAR OFFICE PLANS TO MAKE.GOOSE STEP DAY WASHINGTON, D.

A committee of 150 was formed with full power to decide the time and length of the general protest strike against the Moroccan invasion, which the congress decided to call. The Painleve government is reluct- ant tO send more troops to Morocco, as the capitalists fear that Germany will be able to secure better terms in the “security pact” negotiations if the French army is weakened. The gov- ernment admits that large numbers of workers are supporting the Commun- ist demand for the immediate evacua- tion of Morocco. No one is enthusia- stic about the Moroccan campaign ex- cept the French bankers and the poll- ticians they control. The negotiations between France and Spain for a united attack on the Riffians have definitely failed, it is an- nounced, and the Spanish government, backed by England, refuses to allow France to enter Spanish Morocco to attack the Riffians. Spain is endea- voring to secure peace with Krim.

Quake Zone SANTA BARBARA, Cal., July 6.— A total of 279 earth tremors has rock- ed this city since shortly before 7 o’clock last Monday morning, accord- ing to a registering or graphic thermo- meter at the property of the Southern Counties’ Gas company. Early today only one extremely faint tremblor had been registered. It occurred shortly after 3 o'clock this morning. The quake death toll mounted to 16 today when an aged unidentified man who became deranged during the dis- aster died in Ventura, nearby town. The only clue to the man’s identifica- tion was a note book in which “Med- ford Oregon” had been written several times. No visitor was permitted to enter the business district beeause of fear of walls falling. Marines guarded every street to send us. We strike and they send the army.” Strikers Buoyant. The strike is bound to succeed! Nothing can break a strike fought with so much determinatfon and sol- idarity. Mass picketing is making the bosses realize their failure in get- ting scabs to break the strike, The open shop drive is being crushed by the militant attitude of these brave workers! Scabs Afraid to Show Faces. The few scabs who were working were brot from the shops last night, heavily guarded by police with their heads wrapped up in newspapers. They were afraid to show thei eB to the strikers. The scabs were then packed into touring cars and driven away. Philippines Bring U. 8. Profits. TOKIO, Japan, July 6.— Congress- mam Charles Underhill of Massachu- setts stopping here after a visit to the Philippines said the United States should not grant independence to those islands because “the United States needs the Philippines as a base for commerce and we can make them a''source of revenue to the United States.” Injunction to be Served DAYTON, Tenn., July 6—John T. distracted because of ill treatment by. the defendants. Following legal technicalities the court ruled that Gentry would be put on trial first. This ruling has caused the prosecution to confer as to the best methods of procedure. It was ru- mored that the charges against Klenck and Gentry may be dismissed and Stephenson placed on trial. No matter how it turns out both sides expect it will take a week to select a jury. U. S. Trade Commission Reports Anthracite Coal Trade Situation WASHINGTON, July 6—If the pub- lic knew more about the hard coal in- dustry it would not pay such high prices for coal, the federal trade com- mission said today. “The greatest obstacle to intelli- gent action on the part of the public ‘and the government in the frequently recurring ‘emergencies in the coal trade,” the commission said in a re- port to congress, “is the lack of ade- quate information particularly with regard to prices, cost of production and profits. The commission believes therefore, if the matter is found to be within the legislative power of Labor Party!” the “Make ’em Recognize Soviet Russia!”, the “Release the Class War Prison and the “Workers’ and Farmers’ Government in America!” cartoons. No doubt the capitalist editor went into hysterics as he beheld the red ban- ner of Communism, emblazoned with the “Hammer and Sickle,” planted right in the middle of a map of the United States, by a sturdy worker anu farmer, embodying the aspira- tions set forth in the other three pictures. * * ° . The second page of cartoons bears these captions: “Separate We Lose—Together We Win; Equality for Negro Workers”; “Help the Red Aid to Help the Imprisoned Fight- ers”; “Stop Religious Training in the Public Schools”; “Down with Militarism and Imperialist Wars!”; “Stop the Capitalist Cannibalism of Child Labor!" It is to be hoped that the cartoon picturing the capitalist cannibat feeding on the child wage worker, turned the stom- ach of the kept editor of the Manufacturers’ News. The demand to end religious training in the public schools no doubt sent this editor in Roman Catholic Baltimore to his knees in panic stricken prayers. If he forgets to get up again the world will be better off, however. * * * * Then the third page. At the top a husky worker hold- ing the capitalist by the neck with his left hand and ready to smash him in the face with a wallop from his right fist, all of which is surrounded with the slogans, “No More Open Shop! No More Wage Cuts! For Shop Committees! For Amalgamation!” If the kept editor got off his knees after looking at the second page of pictures, he ig probably run- ning yet with panicky memories of this thirdhps e, not for- getting for a moment the picture of the two big feet, in hob- nailed boots, descending on the prostrate figure of “Hell 'an of these two important demands by the employes, the company thru its committee is now going to vote the seven-day week with loss of pay. Telegraphers have been arbitrarily removed by the Pennsylvania Co. be- cause they refused to accept such pe- nurious dole. The much wanted va- cation and relief day question has now been junked. The so-called com- mittee has been duped and the mem- bers of the O. R. T. are the sufferers thereby, as practically 75 per cent of this class of employes hold member- ship in our organization.” The Railroad Labor Board, mean- time, has ruled that the Pennsylva- nia railroad has violated the transpor- tation act in ignoring the order of the board that the company deal with the union of telegraphers. This finding means nothing to the company, since the board has no power to enforce its’ findings.

The capitalist editor thinks they are the “most diabolical he has ever seen.” It is all in the viewpoint. If the kept editor of big business beheld labor in the abject position that the DAILY WORKER pictures the capitalist, that is, getting the worst of it, then he would cheer lustily, stamp his feet with joy and tear his hair with ecstatic aproval. It all depends on whose ox is gored. It is easy to see where some trade union officials and the liberal intelligentsia draw their inspiration when they make similar attacks against the DAILY WORKER. * * * J It is not expected that capitalist editors and their masters will like the DAILY WORKER cartoons. If they did have something good to say about them, then they should never have been published in our paper, But the DAILY WORKER is succeeding very well when it can draw down the wrath of the enemy class in such wholesale fashion. Especially when every picture that appeared was a blow struck at intolerable conditions right here in the capitalist United States of Amer- ica.

If only those workers would die and relieve the government of a nuisance, Another war might dispose of them, but that cure is even worse than the United States bill collectors, England comes along with an ultimatum say- ing: “Come on, pay your debts and stop your stalling.” This is the same Britain that has been negottating with France for a four power pact, de- signed to isolate Soviet Russia from Europe.

A 8 DAYTON, Tenn., July 6.—The stat» of Tennessee took the offensive today in the evolution case when the Rhea county court met to select a jury panel for the trial of John T. Scopes, youthful high school teacher, on charges of violating the state's anti- evolution law. Sixteen justices of the peace, com- prising the court, convened to nom- inate twenty-five citizens of Rhea county as the first jury panel. The prospective jurors were chosen under the oldest rules in American jurisprudence, each justice being le- gally empowered to name his person- al choices. The resulting venire will be certified by County Judge B. Gor- don McKenzie, and served with sub- poenas for appearance in court next Friday. 4.77%, 4.78; Belgium, franc 4.73%, ‘HILE France is having her hands} bound to get gored no matter which 4 : Re 4.74; Italy, lira, 3.76%, 3.77; Sweden, full in the Riff and forced to con-| WY it turns, ee Bi boot athg hen eseagrsd!

If this venire should be exhausted without a jury being selected, the presiding judge is empowered under the law to call additional veniremen out of the courtroom or from the street.-In this manner, the jury. will be chosen, The simplicity, it was said, results from the fact that Scopes’ offence is only a misdemeanor and does not even carry a jail penalty. While the panel is being drawn, a wave of unrest swept the town due to the defense’s announced intention to seek a federal injunction stopping the trial. At an early hour no such move had been made by Scopes him- self or by any of the Dayton attor- neys. Scopes however, has signed the papers necessary for the filing of a federal injunction, leaving it to his attorneys to take whatever steps they deem advisable. 35 CENTS THE DAILY WORKER PUBLISHING CO, : : j b i
