Ce ee RIVERA BOAST OF VICTORIES CAME T00 SOON Riffs Invade Spanish and French Lines (Special to The Dally Worker) FEZ, French Morocco, Oct. 20,— When Primo de Rivera, the Spanish dictator, told newspaper correspond- ents that the Moroccan war was end- ed and claim to have defeated the forces of Abd-el-Krim, little did he realize the determination with which the Moroccans are fighting for their independence, Primitive Warfare With Abd-el-Krim’s forces number- ing but 25,000 tribesmen scattered all over the Riffian country in small bands against the combined force of 200,000 French and Spanish troops pitched battles are little to be ex- pected, The Riffian tribesmen resort to the guerrila form of warfare which is highly effective. Riffs Smash imperialists’ Lines The Riffs attacked the Spanish near Adjir and ambushed two squadrons of French cavalry near Taza, The Moroccan tribesmen break thru the French and Spanish lines continually, forcing the French and Spanish troops to be on their guard at all times and to be equipped to the full- est possible extent. Rain Stops Aviaton Bombing The French bombing squadrons consisting chiefly of American mer- cenaries are unable to do any bomb- ing or to bring food to the troops that are isolated in their posts by the tribesmen, because of the heavy downpour which also continues to turn the Moroccan fields into mud impassable to the heavy transport wagons and guns of the French and Spanish. Must Stay Thru Winter When General Primo de Rivera made his boast that the war in Mor- occo was over, he told of his plans to withdraw some of the troops which he has in the land. Up to the pres- ent day very few soldiers have been allowed to return to Spain, General Primo de Rivera is now telling his staff to prepare for a winter’s stay and to build suitable quarters so that they could resist the climatic change. James Deering After Skinning Workers Doles Out Charity MIAMI, Fla., Oct, 20.—Bequests to- talling $1,500,000 were made to Miami and Chicago charitable institutions by the late James Deering, farm im- plentént™ thanufacturer “of ‘Chicago.

Thousands of men and women in the scientific and social welfare branches of the government service are wonder- ing whether his advent in Washing- ton means a general raid is to be launched by the hard-boiled politici- ans within the legion, similar to the one that almost wrecked the govern- ment after the civil war.’ In the lat- ter case it was the Grand Army of the Republic that served as a vehicle to the salary-counter. MeNider was state and national commander of the legion at the time when that organizaiton was identified with mobbings and other acts of vio- lation of civil rights in all parts of the country. In Mason City, his home town, where MeNider and, his father have two banks and other big busi- ness interests, a woman speaker was mobbed and deported by. the 100-per- centers for her labor views. , None of the legionnaires in that mob were punished. McNider represents the typeyof busi- ness man to whom fascism appeals. He was an officer in the fowa na- tional guard before going to France in the world war. He resumed bank- ing when he got out of the army, but he made fiery speeches against radi- calism of every kind. When the old guard failed to defeat Brookhart in the primaries in 1924, young McNider became one of the most conspicuous backers of the democratic nominee, Steck. They were close companions, and McNider was credited with hav- ing raised most of the big fund which Steck used. After Steck filed his con- test of the election in the senate, Mc- Nider came to Washington and de- manded of a democratic leader a statement as to his attitude on seat- ing Steck. This senator sharply told MecNider that that was none of the business of a hard-shelled republican. C. H. MeNider, the father, was one of the members of the federal reserve bankers’ conference held in ‘the spring of 1920, which decided to “de- flate” the American farmers. Towa farmers are just now recovering from the ruin that followed the deflation or- der. This elder McNider is at pres- ent under indictment in the federal district court for northen Illinois, east- ern division, in the so-called cement trust case. The indictment was filed March 9; 1922. It names MeNider, senior, as: president of the list of de: fendants then charged with control- ling 90 per cent of the cement sold in their territory; the indictment set forth that ‘they Charged “arbitrary, noncompetitive and excessive prices” which were based on the exchange of information between them. MeNider is already mentioned in the administration press as the logical successor to Senator Cummins, and it is suggested that his present appoint- ment is offered as an aid to his wider career.. He is counted on to deliver the legion vote and its agitational ma- chinery to the support of the Coo- lidge program, Colorado Feels Earth Shocks.

GIVE US TALK-LIKE THIS? British Miners’ Union Head Talks Turkey LONDON — (By Mail.) —I found Herbert Smith at the M. F, G. B. head- quarters, still grim and a little flush- ed after the critical meeting with the premier half an hour before, “How do you explain Baldwin's at- titude, Mr., Smith?” I asked. “There is only one explanation,” he replied, very deliberately. “The gov- ernment are enéouraging the employ- ers to attack Wages. “When our men find that price lists which have been honored for years are swept away without any warning, they naturally refuse to accept this flagrant breach of the truce. And when they go and claim unemployment benefit, the govern- ment representative tells them ‘this is a trade dispute, and you are not entitled to the benefits which you yourselves have paid for.’ “Here’s the position in a nutshell: “If a miner has been earning 2s. plus 50 per cent for a certain job (i. e., 38.), andvthe employer lowered the percentage to 48 per cent, making the wage 2s 11%d., that would be a breach of the truce, says the govern- ment, and the miner would be entitled to benefit. “But if the mine owner lowers the basic rate to 1s. 10d., and calculates 50 per cent om that, making a total wage of 2s. 9d that is not a breach of truce! And our men who refuse to work are told they are on strike, and therefore may starve.” I asked Mr. Smith whether he thought the mine owners were acting in agreement with the government. “I am certain of it,” he said em- phatically. “They are in strict co- operation and collaboration with the government now, not a mine depart- ment!” “The object ‘is to smash the na- tional agreement, and to force us back to sectional district agreements. The prime minister actually ventured to suggest this at one of our meetings, and this is a)new and ingenious way they think they have discovered to force us to accept it. In Durham alone we have over 20,000 unemploy- ed.” “What did you reply to the prime minister?” “Our reply, was this: Reductions? Not a cent! Longer hours? Not a second! That’s what | told the prime ministe?.” Recalling thé’recent meetifg of the Miners’ International and tHe stories of disunity whieh, the capitdlist pres# had so assiduosly spread, I asked Mr. Smith, who ig fresident of, the Inter- national, ~wHat’ that ~ organization wolild. do yi tli event of & fight. He replied: “Certain countries have already promised us their full sup- port in every way. The Germans are in a very difficult position, owing to their compulsory arbitration act, and the state of things brought about by the Versailles reparations scheme and the Dawes report. What's This? I suggested to Mr. Smith that the recent resolution of the International, reproving A.~J. Cook for telling miners’ conférences the truth about the Dawes plan and the unity cam- paign, might militate against this. “No,” he said, “I believe that the yerman miners, and their leaders as well, realize that we must’ have a stronger and more virile International than at present, an International that will be of real use, Not necessarily to bring about big strikes. The stronger you are, the less necessity will there be for big strikes. That is my belief. “That also is why I am trying hard to break down the obstacles in* the way of the Russian and other miners | coming in and forming one united Miners’ International. “Tell your readers that we are not afraid of the, alliance between the government and the mine own- ers, providing we can rély—and | believe we can rely—on the support of organized labor.

The millionaire labor leaders had made every attempt to keep the mili- tant element at the convention from being. heard, In spite of their close watch, however, the progressives man- aged to submit seven resolutions, The resolutions for recognition of Soviet Russia, for the abolition of child la- bor, against injunctions, for interna- tional trade union unity, for relief of the unemployed, for a labor party in America were all referred to the reso- lutions committee. The delegates al- lude to this committee as the burial ground, Comrade Engdahl declared that the treachery and betrayal of working class interests by the socialist trade union leaders was further demonstrat- ed at this convention. Zaritsky of the Capmakers’, Sigman of the Interna- tional Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Un- ion, and Kaufman of the Furriers did not lift a voice in protest against the actions of the Greens and the Lew- ises in killing resolutions of such great importance to the workers.
