as a ij BALDWIN FINDS NEW SCHEME TO CUT MINE WAGE Labor Party Leaders Asked to Support '. UONDON, June 23. — Seeking to break the strike of the miners, Premier Baldwin is dickering with la bor party leaders to agree upon a bill that gives, or pretends to give, the reorganization of the industry along the lines of the coal commission’s re- ports. Baldwin hopes to make a bargain with the labor party leaders on this proposal, which is supposed to “amal- pamate the mines,” and get over with it a proposal to ask the miners to ac cept a reduction in pay while the re- organization is going on. Baldwin of- fers this es an alternative to his bill to provide longer hours. How long a tima the proposed re- prganization would need is rather wague, but according to Baldwin's bill published today, it would take years to complete, since it leaves the amalgamation largely to the wishes pt the mine owners, and delays any forced amalgamation by long investi- gations, One or more companies desiring to merge can prepare a plan to submit for approval to the board of trade. But any company may file an objeo- tion, If the board of trade finds that the plan looks feasible, it in turn re- fers it to the railway and canal com- mission which will listen to the evi- Henoe. If this commission decides in favor of amalgamation, {t will be car- Med out “compulsorily.” Demand Release of Spanish Unionists; Call of Red Unions MOSOOW (By Mail).—The Red In- ternational of Labor Unions hag is- sued an appeal to the workers of all countries calling upon them to protest against the threatening trial of six Spanish Communists by court martial in Barcelona. ‘The six comrades are pioneers of the trade union movement in Spain, ‘Their names are Sollis, Maurin, Co- lome, Rebul, Fremo and Rienzi. They have already been in prison for many months. They are threatened with sentences from 15 to 25 years’ im- prisonment. Despite the lack of all evidence against them, they will be sentenced unless this is prevented by the international protest action of the proletariat. “Organize protest meetings against the repression in Spain, send tele- grams of protest to the government of Primo de Rivera,” says the Red Inter- national of Labor Unions, “force the representatives of this government in your countries to hear your voices. Demand the immediate release of the six and all other imprisoned Spanish revolutionaries.” ——_——- A sub a day wilt Wetp to drive capital away.

The rail- waymen’s and leather workers’ unions have adopted sharply-worded protest resolutions and other workers’ organi- zations are following their example. ‘On account of lack of evidence the government has been forced to release eight anarchists and Communists who were arrested in connection with a bomb explosion in front of the build- ing of the American embassy here. It ‘was assumed that the, bomb explosion was an act of terror as a protest against the d sentences against Sacco and Vanzetti. The fact that the arrested men had been several days on hunger strike forced the hand of the government and quickened their release. COMMUNIST IN ALESSANDRI'S SEAT IN CHILE Nitrate Workers Turn Toward the Left SANTIAGO, Chile, June 23.—The ni- trate miners of Chile have registered their opinion in the election taking place in the nitrate fields in the provinces of Antofogasta and Tarapa by electing a Communist to represent them in the Chilean senate. The new Communist senator is Juan Carmona, and he succeeds in the chamber the former president, Alessandri, who resigned and is now visiting the United States. This change is quite significant considering that it shows a decidedly growing turning from capitalist politics to Communist, since Alessandri is noted as a reactionary. ‘The provinces are centers of work- ing-class struggles and were the scene of bloody massacres of striking work- ers last year. French Destroying Syria to: Maintain League’s Mandate PARIS, June 23.—Disregarding both life and-the beauties of the ancient gardens of Damascus, the French are determined to make a desert ceme- tery of Syria to maintain the “man- date” it has from ‘the league of na- tions. French troops, " released from the Moroccan campaign are being poured into Syria to annihilate the Druses. Two columns dfe converging from Salkhad and Seteida to meet in the Djebel country in three days. But at Damascus itself there rages a continual battle. Bach night the native independence forces attack the gates and are only repulsed by bloody hand-to-hand fighting. Machine guns point inward from the city walls as the inhabitants are no lovers of their “mandaters.” Pointing outward are great guns, and these are continually belching shells into the famous Ghouta gardens, the magnificent prod- uct of thousands of years tying in the ancient oasis of Damascus. Swedish Unions Give MOSCOW, June 1 (By Mail).—Ac- cording to a report from Stockholm, the presidium of the Swedish Trade Union Federation, after negotiating with Purcell, has declared itself pre- pared to grant the General Council of the British Trade Union Congress a considerable loan for a period of three years, the exact amount of the loan to be fixed upon receiving the answers of the individual trade unions. Purcell has addressed the same re- quest to the German Trade Union Fed- eration (A. D. G. B.) and to the trade union federations of Holland, Belgium and Denmark. The action of the Swedish workers in support of their British comrades has been very successful. Up to the present 150,000 crowns have been for- warded, Will share apartment.

Branch @ Hall, Real Aid to British THE DAILY WORKER TORY PARTY IS SPLIT ON RUSS MINE DONATION Churchill ‘Leads Break Against Baldwin (Special to The Daily Worker) LONDON, June 28, — A situation that is unprecedented in English po- litical life is the open split in the Baldwin cabinet between the more bitter reactionaries and the premier’s majority. Over the week-end Winston Church- ill, chancellor of the exchequer, and the earl of Birkenhead, secretary of industry, have delivered public speeches against the policy of the cabi- net towards Russia, This is a sharp departure from Hnglish parliamentary | tradition and indicates a deep split in| day, June 24, at § p. m. the tory party. Want to Break. The two leading cabinet members are objecting to the cabinet’s decision not to break relations with the Soviet Union over contributions received here by the striking miners from the members of the All-Russian trade unions. It ig believed that Baldwin and the ministers that oppose breaking off re- lations have the support of the large trading and capitalist element now do- {ng business with the Soviets. May Be Election, It is quite possible that a parlia- mentary crisis will be precipitated on the voting on the question. If Bald- win allowed a free vote there will doubtless be many conservatives who will follow Churchill’s lead in voting against the policy of the cabinet. This will force a general election. Canton Government Strengthens Itself Against Imperialism CANTON, China (By Mail).—The official joining of the province Kwangsi with the territory under the control of the Canton government has increased the security of the latter. The plenary session of the execu- tive of the Kuomintang which has just ended published a declaration to tho effect that the specess of the national revolution depended upon the closest unity of the revolutionary forces and that the Kuomingtang has become an important political factor, the only one capable of leading the millions in the national revolutionary struggle against imperialism. The reactionaries had attempted to sow disunity in the ranks of the Kuo- mingtang and had contended that the Kuomingtang was a Communist organ- ization. The executive of the Kuo- mingtang, however, would allow no one to use the agitation against Com- munism as a slogan against the na- tional revolution, The declaration concludes by point- ing out that the strengthening of the province of Kwangtung as a revolu- tionary basis means the strengthening of the whole Chinese national revolu- tionary movement. The British newspapers in Hong Kong express their disappointment at the activity of the commander of the Canton army, Chang Kai Shi. British circles expected a counter-revolution- ary putsch from him, but they are now compelled to admit that unity rules in the Canton group. Agrarian Tariff Law in Czecho-Slovakia Makes Political Row PRAGUB, June 23.—The passage of the new agrarian tariff law is threat- ening a cabinet crisis. Foreign Min- ister Edouard Benes is under attack from his own party, the national so- clalists, for sharing in the cabinet responsible for the law, and the ag- rarians want him ousted because he is a national socialist. Benes had to hurry home from the little conference at Veldes to mend his fences politically. President Masaryk is reported as unwilling to accept Benes’ resignation even if it is offered, Masaryk is trying to soften the hostilities between the groups and keep Benes in office. Spain to Leave If Not Given a Seat MADRID, Spain, June 23.—The gov- ernment of Dictator Primo de Rivera will insist upon @ permanent seat in the league of nations council, and if the league powers refuse Spain will follow Brazil in telling the league goodbye. countries are said to be petitioning Spain to remain with them in the which has larger interests at stake than sentiment.

In fact, Spain looks at the matter practically and figures what is the use of staying in the league of freebooters if she cannot get some of the booty. “Moscow or bust!

U, HEADS REFUSED VISAS BY THE BRITISH Joynson-Hicks Accuses Them of Plotting LONDON, June 23, — It is discover- ed that the British government has refused to allow Edo Fimmen and Yan Oudegeest, two prominent leaders of the International Federation of Trade Unions (Amsterdam International), to come to England to attend the inter- national labor conference on immigra- tion, which is now meeting. Both are socialists of the so-called Second In- ternational, , Oudegeest is a bitter foe of Communists. Fimmenyis president of the Interna- tional Transport Workers’ Federation and Oudegeest is the secretary of the Amsterdam ;International and head of the Dutch«labor federation.

Joynson- $s said the British gov- ernment,,,Wwonld not allow’ them to come to England to “concoct more plots of that kind.” Veto on De Rivera’s Ambitions Given by Spanish Army Clique MADRID, ‘June 23. — Primo de Rii- vera, milita#y dictator of Spain, has struck a siiag in his efforts to get more of thé power in his own hands and out of the hands of the army offi- cers who actually boss the army thru officers’ cotiicils or “juntas.” De Rivera’ sought to break up the juntas by promoting a whole group of under officers for “distinguished service in Morocco” over the junta rulings against such promotions. His decree also said that these younger officers must accept the promotions, disregarding the pledge young officers take not to break the seniority rules of the old generals and their juntas. The officer class controlling the juntas, led by 400 generals, have sent delegations to De Rivera and got him to promise to not enforce the decree compelling the young officers to accept promotion, Judge Kavanaugh \ Excuses Prospective Jurors for One Day Judge Mascus Kavanaugh, who will sit in the sanity hearing for Russell Scott, convicted murderer of Joseph Scott, Chicago drug clerk, inaugurated a new procedure in Chicago courts when he dismissed a venire of pros- pective jurors.for one day with in- structions to make arrangements with their employers and families to be away while serving on the jury and to arrange their affairs so that nothing will interfere with their service, Bennett Doty to Get Light Sentence from French Generals DAMASCUS, via Haifa, June 23.— Bennett Doty of Memphis will not be tried for charges of deserting the French foreign legion for at least a month, it was stated in French mili tary circles, The French authorities have in- Doty will be given a light sentence, inasmuch as he was absent for only three days, which does not technically constitute desertion, Signs $75,000,000 Bilt, WASHINGTON, June 23—President Coolidge today signed the federal Tr The French franc, due to French military expenditures and the economic breakdown of the country, is at such low ebb that public subscriptions have to be made to keep it from being snowed under. play in the gardens at Versailles, the home of the treaty partly responsible, 'to raise money for the sick currency, Here is a pyrotechnic dis- CAILLAUX TAKES Acceptance of Post completed late today.
