INTERNATIONAL LABOR DEFEN. _ SURVEY OF CONFERENCES SHOWS TL. D. FIRMLY ESTABLISHED A survey of the local conferences held thruout the country on Sept. 18 under the auspices of International Labor Defense, indicates a growing response to the call for defense of labor's class-war prisoners, The confer- ences occurred in 25 of the largest cities in the country and 35 of the smaller towns, In nearly every instance they were successful. In every instance the purpose of the conferences was attained: the setting up of permanent branches of Internationaf Labor Defense composed of dues paying members who accept the principle of fighting against capitalist periageens of work- ing class fighters. Represented at the, various, confer- ‘ences were local trade unions, work- ers’ fraternal and benefit societies, co- operatives and, permanent I..L, D. branches previously, established. These latter were provisionally form- ed since the national conference for labor defense held in,,Chicago last June that founded I,.L, D, At. the Sept. 13 conferences these branches were brot together in city-wide locals and tonnected with san central com- mittees. Collective Affiliation, In addition to these units; there are now represented in the’ city central committees other workers’” organiza- tions that sent delegates tothe con- ferences and declared their desire to collectively affiliate. These now have delegates to the city centrals and’ pay a’monthly sum in collective dues. At the New York conference, 40,- 000 workers were represented, in Chi- cago, 18,000. Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco and other of the more important cities held confer- ences that compared favorably, in pro- portion, to New York and Chicago. Protest Persecutions. Without exception, the conferences endorsed the proceedings and actions of the national conference of June 28 last, that brot International Labor Defense into existence. The confer- ence went on record for the release of all class war prisoners and passed resolutions of protest. Many sent re- solutions of protest to the ambassa- dors of foreign countries that. have subjected their working classés to persecutions and terror such as Po- land, Roumania, Esthonia." Resolu- tions were sent to the U, S. war de- partment asking the release of Grouch and Trumbull, imprisoned Communist soldiers. The central feature of the gather- ings was the case.in Zeigler, Ill,, where Henry Corbishley and 14 other union ‘coal miners are being. victim- ized by a frame-up of criminal charg- es brot by corrupt union officials with the backing of the coal operators and the ku klux klan.* Reports weré’ade on the various cases now: before I, L.

Figures depicting this jazz mania and showing that the production of musical instruments has more than doubled in the last ten rs were made public/by Hoover's depart- ment of commerce. In 1914, the value of the factories engaged in producing musical in- struments was $119,689,000. The 1925 production will reach $300,- 000,000, officials estimated. Music, according to an acoustic engineer at the bureau of standards, is more intoxicating than liquor, If properly developed. “Jazz has the same disorganizing eff@&t on the nervous system as moonshine liquor,” declared this authority. fense thruout the organized labor movement in their respective cities, A Great Power, In most of the cities the confer- ences were followed by enthusiastic mass meetings that served to give impetus to the work before them, The appeal of I.

Raith torrents have begun to fall in Moroeso, making it impos- sible for the French to advance with their heavy attivery and supplies, The torrents of rain have made the clay impassablenand the fog which hangs over the country makes flying impossible. The Riffians under Abd- el-Krim have #egun to vigorously at- tack the French and Spanish lines on all fronts... Riffs’ Attack French, A fierce attack has been made against El Bibane in the central part of the front and a counter-attack has been made’in the Kel-el-Loun sector. Motor transportation and telephonic connections bejween Fez and Taza have been “severed on the eastern front’ by thé continued rains, Marshal Lyautey has asked to be re- placed and leaves French Morocco soon. He has been one of the em- pire builders of imperialist France and the methods that he used are now being resisted by the Riffians in their struggle for independence. Airplanes Riddied by Riffs. The American mercenaries in Mor- occo are finding that the Riffs are better sHots than they thot they were, American flyers have had the habit of taking-bombs, painting them red, whiteratd blue, putting their name on then.and then circling low to an adyattcing column or outpost, drop the bomb. Then they woyld circle back to see what havoc they had wrought. °Two or three of them in trying this’stunt have had their engines go*dead on them. Some of them were able to escape, and they never tried the stunt again as their airplanes were riddled by Riff bullets so that they looked like sieves, Riffs ‘Excellent Shots, “The Riffs.are excellent infantry and first-class shots” writes Col Charles Sweeny. one of the mercen- yries in. thesemploy of French imper- lalism, “Youwsmay judge when I tell you that they have already shot out of airplanes from 500 to 1,000 feet up and going“from’ 80 to 100 miles any hour over twenty French aviators.” Higher Than World War. The percentage of casualties among French aviators in Morocco is higher than those of the World war, due to thee excellent markmanship of the Riffians, admits the French war office. se 8 Krim Getting Munitions MELILLA, Spanish Marocco, Sept. 30.—The Riffs have begun intense ac? tivity around Tizzi Azza, where supply convoys have’ been forced to abandon the use of mules and rely on human packbearers.,Load after load of muni- tions, food and other materials have fallen into the hands of the Riffian tribesmen. The tribesmen have “also renewed their attacks-in- the Afrau, Sidi Me- sand, Quebdani, Farka, and Midar regions. The Riffs are hidden in ravines and are keeping up a con- stant fire on the Spanish posts. At Cebadilia. the Riffians have a field gun, captured from the Spanish legion, raising ‘the number of casu- alties in the Spanish camp 800 feet away. Naval Operations Paralyzed All naval operations along the coast from the lower deck of the boat and was swept beneath the steamer. of Maroceco have been paralyzed by the rain storms, At Alhucemas the aviators are meet- ing with heavy rifle and machine gun fire. Many of the planes return’ tc their bases riddled with bullets. A number of aviators have been killed by Riff marksmen.

CANADA TO HAVE ELECTIONS OVER TARIFF ISSUES TORONTO, Sept. 30.—The Canadian elections, to be held October 29, will revolve around the od dispute, to, have or not to have protective tariff., The present liberal government headed by “| Mackenzie King is going to the people because it lacks a working. majority against the conservatives and , pro- gressives, the latter holding ,the ;bal- ance of power. The liberals ;want a tariff “for revenue only.” The..con- servatives want a definitely profudtive tariff. The progressives, the western farm- ers and petit-bourgeois group, “want the removal of protective duti¢s* on necessaries and instruments of’ pro- duction, by which they mean farm machinery. The workers of Canada are beginning to see that all this scrapping about tariffs is a smoke- “| screen to blind their own political consciousness.
