Eight thousand delegates are reported to have been present at the convention, however. ‘The Jassy convention démanded the dissolution of the present government, stabilization of the currency and co- operation among the national minori- ties. A. Vaida-Voevod, a forms mem- ber of the Hungarian parliament, of- fered the support of Transylvania to the National Peasant Party. Attempts of the Bratianu govern- ment to hold counter meetings in va- rious parts of Jassy are aliéged to have failed. The National Peasant Party is com- posed of rich peasants, shop-keépers, and professional and intellectual ele- ments who are anxious to obtain some of the advantages that the Bratianu government has seized during its regime, 35 Java Coal Miners | Suffocate in Fire BATAVIA, Toit 31.—Thirty-five Javanese coal miners have been suf- focated to death in a mine fire at Sawaroso.

Before the coup d’etat of the dic- tator Tbanez, La Nacién was a iiberal organ. After the military coup the liberal editor was exiled and the pa- per transformed into a government publication. Since Ibanez took power jwith the help of Américan ‘interests he does not permit the préss to ex- press hostility to the United States. Daring the wave “of resentment against the United States which re- cently Swept throughout Latin- America upon the revival of active hostilities between the United States troops and the Sandino partisans in Nicafagua, the editor of “La Nacién” temporarily forgot his instructions, as a result he was forced to resign.

When these changes are suggested it will be found that the mariy safeguards set up by the trade unions will be en- dangered. “Mond made it very clear that the endorsement of his policy would also involve increased unemployment as the result of the adoption of new methods to improve industry. “At every stage in the ‘improve- ment’ of industry it is the workers who will suffer, despite the promise made that they will be compensated by pensions. “Thus the statement by the em- ployers showed that they aré playing upon the timidity of the Right Wing leaders of the General Council in or- der to make new attacks upon trade unionism. “At the conference on Thursday I declared, most émphatically, my oppo- sition to the whole business. “While the Général wasting preciots time preparing to meet Mond and his group big attacks | are being made in the coalfields, in| the cotton trade, and woolen industry. | “To set up fighting machinery to! ‘mdus- under is sheer iation most important task of a Council interests of trade unionists. enemy outlining his plans to enslave | the workers further.” See Poincare Tariff PARIS, Jan. 31.—An k to aid big French | agriculturists will be a new provision of the tariff which | Premiér Poincare | is expected to sub- mit tomorrow of Thursday.

Hertiot; riot is alleged to “reformist” have made this statementina speech before the Radical Socialist Federation of the Rhone. Declaring that Herriot is trying to reap the “advantages” of supporting the Poincare government while he tries to palm himself off as a radical for election purposes, the Journal des Debats, a newspaper close to the gov- ernment, states, “M. Herriot is try- ing to reap the rewards of the Na- tional Union while at the same time playing for extreme radical support in the forthcoming parliamentary eléctions.” At the time the French chamber voted to repudiate the immunity of the Communist deputies and return | them to jail, Herriot declared that he was in favor of freeing the Com- munists but he would take no action before counting up the results of his party’s vote on the measure in the chamber. The first reports of the balloting seemed to show that there were mote socialists opposed to the government than supporting it, but 2 further ¢ount revealed that fifty of the socialists had refrafned from vot- ing, which waS undetstood by Her‘ riot to be equivalent to a support of the Poincare government, since it had been decided that the vote on the Communists’ immunity was to be a vote of confidence. A number of so- cialists voted for the imprisonment of the Communists. Herriot was able fo retdin his cabihét post as a re- sult of the vote. It is é¢onsidered highly improbable that thére will be any official de- mand fhat Herriot resign owing to his alleged Rhone speech which is! understood te be campaign talk. subscribe to the DAILY WORKER Read a Fighting Paper. | i Pill Out Sub Biank Below and Send to The DAILY WORK- ER, 33 First St., New York.
