The Solomon Islands belong te Great Britain. They are in the Paci- | fie, northeast of Australia, and Ma-| laita is the biggest of the group. | There have been an increasing flood of protests from the islanders, who} had an ancient tribal life and a form | of Communism in goods since the} British have begun their serious ef- forts to make the natives into wage slaves. Great brutalities and indigni- ties have been inflicted on the island- ;ers, many reports have declared. \Woll Boosts Insurance| at A, F. L. Convention (Continued from page 1) | plenty of delegates admitted among | themselves that the Communists had | neither left Passaic, nor been pushed out by the educational bureau, For Better Lawyers. Attorney Hope Thompson of Chi- cago spoke to the convention, de- nouncing the conspiracy and injunc- tion practises of courts during strikes as the greatest threat against labor. He recommended more legislation, better lawyers to be hired, and labor pressure to nominate federal judges. Vice-President Matthew Woll has |asked all reporters and representa- |tives of the press to write boosting articles for the labor insurance com-}| | pany which he heads and which is in- |timately tied up with the personnel |directing the “Big Four” insurance |companies recently exposed by The DAILY WORKER as dealing in high |financial operations most misleading |and unprofitable to policyholders. The convention has adopted resolu- |tions favoring a campaign for the union label, to organize the hosiery workers, and against the bread trust. Vote to Organize South. Help of the Federation in unioniz- ing textile workers in the south and laundry workers in the United States |and Canada, and a drive for new union members among hotel and res- taurant employes already has been} pledged in resolutions adopted by the | convention. i Canadian mine, mill and smelter workers in Northern Ontario will be brought: into the ranks of union labor, | while the Federation will aid the or- | ganization of workers in Porto Rico, | according to other resolutions. A special campaign to organize southern textile mill workers was voted, following an appeal by Thomas F. McMahon of New York, represent- ing the United Textile Workers of America. 4 “We ask you to free the white slaves of the south,” he pleaded. “There are more than a million textile workers in the south, working fifty- five hours for practically no wages.” But for all of these good resolu- | tions, no practical first steps towards carrying them out have been indicated. Delegate Rafael Alfonso of Porto Rico decried the absence of a union organized among native workers. The convention voted to take the matter up with the Pan-American Federation of Labor. A national movement for an in- creased “wage rate” for all organized workers was launched by John C. Frey, of Cincinnati, O., secretary- treasurer of the metal trades depart- ment. “Wages have failed to keep pace with our ability to produce,” Frey told the convention. “If industry is to function properly, fraternalism will never solve the problem of just wages, and men who are displaced by ma- chinery must be given something else to do.” Frey cited the coal industry as pre- senting an example of an unjust wage payment. He said the average Amer- ican coal miner produces 781 tons of coal per year and is not paid propor- tionately to his ability to produce. “The American coal miner,” he de- clared, “mines his coal at a lower wage than the coal miners receive in England or Germany.” Sheffield Heard From. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Govern- ment officials are still conferring on} the Mexican situation and although! secrecy is maintained meagre and noncommittal news is permitted to go out, The “news” today is that Cool- idge, Kellogg and the new Wall| Street ambassador to Mexico, Dwight | Morrow, conferred with James R.| Sheffield, notorious for his frame-up against the Calles government when he charged that military secrets had been removed from the archives of the American embassy. Sheffield de-| clared, according to information at| the capitol, that he has the highest regard for the Mexican people, but that the Mexican government made his stay in that country very diffi- cult, ‘i The ex-ambassador seems to feel badly over the fact that his charges of theft and forgery were too crude to evoke anything but raucous laugh- ter. * Many Surrender. MEXICO CITY, Oct. 7.—The fol- lowing bulletin is given to the news- papers: Captain Leopoldo Cardenas Padilla, belonging 6 the 79th Regi- ment; which raised up*in arms under command of General H. Lucero in the state of Veracruz, wires from San Lorenzo, Hidalgo, that as he did not approve of the action taken by the said General Lucero, he was able to s escape from the rebels: bringing with | him the regiment’s flag, which he will deliver to the government.

Among them were Agustin Matus, Juan Alvarez, Jose Bacasuega and Antonio Buitmea, chiefs of the Yaqui tribe.” The photographs delivered to the newspapers show Engineer Felix F.| Palavicini with the disguise he used when trying to join the rebel move- ment, not having succeeded in reach- ing the rebel camp because he was made prisoner by the police. The original letter signed by Palavicini, in Which he recognizes the said disguise and other objects taken from him as being his property, has also been given to the newspapers.

Unless Japan is able to bribe the anti-Chang for- ces, the conquering armies may tackle Manchuria and this will mean an armed struggle with Japan. While Feng is a typical militarist cutthroat the victory of his troops over those of the more notorious Chang-Tso-Lin will be hailed by the people of China. In the meantime the armies of the workers and peasants are progress- ing in South China. in the Chinese situation was only the calm preceeding another storm.

A non-partisan role is one of the most difficult in public life. It is like unto that of the “innocent bystander.” There is nothing a factionalist likes better than to hurl a brick at a neu- tral.

My frankfurters never tasted bet- ter than they did that day and I thought I detected the contour of a tear in the left eye (the one nearest the onions) of the buxom dispenser of ground meat, as she took my dime. “Curses on this fellow, Kippur,” I muttered. “He is 4 bigger nuisance than St. Patrick, who only demands one day of the year from his follow- rs, who spend that day eating and dtinking—mostly drinking. But this fellow Kippur is not satisfied with flattening out the stomachs of his customers; he visits inconvenience on those who swear him no fealty.” Then aloud: “I wish I were one of the chosen people, because I could stay in bed until the restaurants open again.” That was the beginning of a dog- less week for me, Nothing seemed to satisfy my craving for food.
