Three renresentaives of French news- papers left the congress when Lugo Vino, the chairman, refused to out- law the speeches of the Latin-Amer- ican delegate. The speech of the Porto Rican ‘was vigorously applauded by Central American newspapermen. The com- mittee into whose hands the resolu- tions were placed, however, will prob- ably bury them. . INJUNCTION HITS HOSIERY WORKERS Milwaukee Judge Is Aid to Bosses MILWAUKEE, Wis., March 9. — The expected turn of events has taken place in the 30-day old strike of the hosiery workers against. the Allen-A Hosiery Company of Kenosha, Wis- consin. ‘The mill owner has succeeded in getting Federal Judge F. A. Geig- er, here today, to sign papers in a temporary injunction in an effort to stop the mass picketing demonstra- tions carried on daily by the strik- ers. A deputy U. S. marshal left here icday for Kenosha to serve injunc- tion papers on strike leaders.

URGES AID FOR POLE PEASANTS: Trial of 490 Militants at Vilna MOSCOW, (By Mail).—In an ap- peal addressed to all workers and particularly to members of Red Aid Societies in.connection with the mon- ster trial of 490 members of ““Hrom- ade” at Vilna, the International Red Aid calls for an energetic protest against the fascist dictatorship in Po- land. 5, The appeal states that the Pilsud- ski regime is making every effort to crush out, the peasant. movement in West White Russia. (The “Hromada” is an organization of militant work- ers and peasants in West White Rus- sia.)

Calles method Jong before this, if not for the fact that they had complete con- | fidence in~a quick breakup of the} strikers’ ranks. When they were dis- jllusioned in this, they resorted to the hiring of armed thugs and strike- breakers. But the enthusiastic resist- ance of the strikers, nearly all of whom. are young American-born workers, made them attempt this final effort to break the strike. If the union officials conducting the strike permit the workers to carry out the intentions they express, ef- forts will undoubtedly be made to violate the injunction by continuing the picket demonstrations. ean} HUGE TORY NAVAL Hindukush peaks 13,000 feet high.

Twenty-nine Hawaiian companies, chiefly sugar and pineapple, paid 1927 dividends totaling $17,700,243, a gain of nearly $3,000,000 over 1926. 300,000 Slaves. Compared with the great American trusts the Hawaiian dividends do not appear startling. But the entire popu- lation of Hawaii is under 300,000 about equal to the number of work- ers on the U. S. Steel Corporation payroll in 1926. The cash dividends of these Hawaiian companies actually represent about a sixth of the value of all the products exported from the islands annually and they provide a high return on the capital invested in the enterprises. Honolulu Consolidated Oil leads with cash dividends amounting to $2,- 834,700, a return of 30% on the par value of the stock. If we take into account the 200% stock dividend of 1922, the stockholders are actually receiving a 90% cash dividend. For 1926 it was 91%% and in 1925, 84%. Since 1920 the owners have received in cash 470% on their investment. Hawaiian Commercial Sugar, with cash dividends totaling $1,500,000, rave stockholders a return of 15%. Bewer & Co. paid its owners $1,120,- 000 or 51% on their investment while American Factors paid its stockhold- ers $1,300,000 or about 22%. Alto- gether 12 Hawaiian corporations paid eash dividends in 1927 of more than 20% on the actual investment. A study of the boards of directors of 26 of the 29 Hawaiian companies reveals extraordinary centralization of control over the economic life of the islands. One man, J. R. Galt, is a director of 9 of these companies. Four others, F. C. Atherton, ©. H. Cooke, C. R. Hemenway and J. Water- house, hold 8 directorships apiece. The Atherton family holds 11 direc- torships in 10 companies and the Cooke family holds 16 directorships in 13 of these companies. Altogether this group holds 49 directorships in 21 of the companies. Control of the island appears to radiate from the 3 concerns which lead the list. Alexander & Baldwin has 28 directorships in 17 of the com- panies; American Factors has 30 di- rectorships in 15 companies and Bewer & Co. 31 directorships in 12 companies. To cap the pyramid, rep- resentatives of Alexander & Baldwin sit on the boards of both American Factors and Bewer & Co. The con- trol of this group reaches every cor- poration in the journal’s list including railroads, utilities and navigation, as well as sugar, pineapples and oil, Destroy Fascist “Arms In an effort to hide the evi-| dence that guns were smuggled | from fascist Italy to fascist Hungary in violation of existing treaties, the Hungarian Govern-}| ment ordered the destruction of the arms at the little village of St. Gothard. COMMUNISTS GAIN IN HAMBURG POLL Importance of Gain Is Stressed by Pravda MOSCOW, (By Mail).—The “Prav- da” points out that the “results of the municipal elections in Hamburg represent a great political success for the Communist Party of Germany, and must be regarded as an extremely important factor which will influence. the spirit of the thirty million voters who will go to the parliamentary polls within the next few months in Ger- many. : “The bourgeoisie and the social democracy expended great sums and carried on an agitation along Amer- jean lines,” the Pravda says, “but the Communist Party of Germany carried on the struggle in a prole- tarian spirit and paid chief attention to a systematic agitation in the work- ing class quarters and in the large- scale factories. These methods were successful. x “The ultra-left agency of German Trotskyism suffered a tremendous de- feat: 741 votes for Trotskyism as against 114,000 votes for Communism proved the ridiculousness of the hope of the ultra-lefts of finding any sym- pathetic response to Trotskyism amongst the broad masses.” NEW YORK | 30, 1927—49,000.

In an attempt to instafl the 54- hour week the employers had reso ed to the usual trick of announcing that the extra hours worked would be paid for extra. The mill work- ers, however, had seen through this maneuver. They immediately recog- nized that the next step of the mill owners to be taken several weeks later would be to either refuse to pay for the overtime, or to make a general wage reduction that would bring their income down to where it was while working the 48-hour week.
