Under | such conditions every economic strug- gle becomes political. Hence our task becomes: A struggle for leadership | and for restoration of close contact’! with the masses, at the same time the support of the struggle of the op-| pressed workers in the colonies. Martinez Speaks. | “We consider ic necessary that all} means of support be rendered the minorities in tne trade unions to de- velop their international propaganda | eommittees which we consider the most important means of rallying the | trade unions toward the Red interna- | tional of Labor Unions.” Martinez, speaking for the workers of Latin America declared that “American capitalism wishes econ- | omically to absorb all Latin America; under the slogan ‘America for the American Bourgeoisie.’ | “Recently,” he continued, “the Pan-American Union was created for the purpose of putting life into the imperialiss endeavors of ‘the United States, with the aid of the American Federation of Labor.| American workers must fight this Union. Workers of Latin America) must consider their chief task their | struggle against American imperial- ism, in its various disguises.” Compulsory Arbitration. Jeffers of Australia vigorously de-| nied the rumor circulated by the re- formists that Aus.ralia was a happy | country, ruled by a “Labor” govern- ment. “During the last six or seven years,” he said, “the so-called Labor Government of Queensland issued a} series of laws against the working class. This government ‘has con- tinually engaged in conflic.s with the working ciass. “The newly introduced compulsory + arbitration machinery is most harm- ful to the labor movement. Unen ployment is growing. Wages are be- ing cut in spite of the resistance of a@ militant section of the working class. The Ked International ot La-| bor Unions is becoming more and) more popular among the masses.} There has actually been proposed al law limiting trade union rights. This} bill is meeting with tye strongest re-| sistance on the par. of the revolu- tionary proletariat of Australia.” Poland Swings Left. Dumbritzky of Poland declared that the illusions that had been entertained | by a certain portion of the wo @lass and the peasantry when Sudski had iaken power had been| definitely crushed. Poland was pro- ceeding to ruthlessly wreck legal worker and peasants’ organizations while revolutionary sentiment was growing among the working massés. “The elections of 1928 show that the worsing masses are steadily moving to the leit,” he declared. “Re- formism is adopting a pseudo-opposi- tion to the government to deceive the masses. Such attempts must be ex+ posed.” Monmouusseau declared that the French delegates agreed with Los- ovsky’s analysis. “One of our essen- tial defects,” he declared, “is gull weak tie with the masses in spite of the growing influence of the Unitary Federation of Labor. ‘Some of our comrades have incorrectly estimated the fighting capacity of the working class and capitalist rationalization. ‘We must take the necessary steps to correct these mistakes and during the recent strikes the Unity Federation of Labor headed the movement everywhere. The ‘strategy of our strike struggle must be caleulated by all means to the development and strengthening of our organization and consolidating our influence among unskilled workers, working women and young workers. The growing re- pressions of the government and em- ployers against militant members of the Unitarian trade unioris are the best evidence that the federation is a real mass organization defending the interests of the workers.” » Thoman ot Austria pointed out the} & } | |compromise with the Bratianu | Semitic Eleven Workers Killed | In Saxony Coal Works.

With a large part of the garrison at Rio Bimba already in the field, the government is making arrange- ments with ihe despatch of additional troops to the district. The peasants are reported to be destroying the crops of large landholders in the dis- trict, who exercised semi-feudal privileges. PROTEST AGAINST BRATIANU REGIME ‘Suspect Maniu in Move for Compromise BUCHARIST, March 21—That Juliu Maniu, leader of the National Peasant Party, may have reached a re+ gime was indicated today when Mania announced that he would use only “legal methods” to force a change of governmen*. Maniu declared that he had no intention of “fomenting dis- order” in the Peasant Party’s demon- strations against Bratianu. In spite of the compromising atti- ude of Maniu, another demonstration against the Bratianu government will be held at Albajulia. Bucharest workers are still demanding the im- mediat® resignation of the govern- ment. ‘Ban on Rumanian Loan Is Urged Upon Kellogg WASHINGTON, Mar. 21—An ap- peal to Secretary of State Kellogg to ban any loan to the Rumanian government is urged by Congr man Emanuel Celler who points out | that the Rumanian government is the ng | “m | ” | ope. ost medieval government in Eur- Celler ‘states that it has been re- ported that Rumania is negotiating for an international loan of $60,000,- 900, that the major portion of it is to be offered to the American public and that the New York Federal Re- serve Bank would be expected to join. “Even at this very writing,” he continued, we are informed that anti- atrocities again threaten Rumanian Jews and that the immin- ence of such atrocities was the gist of an alarming interpolation intro- duced into the Rumanian House of Parliament March 16 by one of its deputies.” et close cooperation between the re- formists leaders and _ capitalism. “Otto Bauer has proclaimed the slo- gan of the ‘restoration of industry’ which practically means worse condi- tions for labor and the lengthen- ing of the working day. This policy of yeferrmism also upplied in eoun- tries neighboring Ausizia. In par- ticularly heavy industries fascist unions have appeared. The danger of a conflict between labor and capi- tal and the bloody suppression of the labor movement looms. However, the réformists are doing nothing +o avert the danger.

Larger credits will be extended to assovia- tions of poor peasants and to collect+ ive farms, it was also decided. In addition to these measures, steps will be taken within the next three months to organize new large state | agricultural enterprises, particularly in districts where peasants from other sections can be settled-and in| districts suitable for cattle-raising | and the production of wheat and, other grains, The extension of indus- | al products is also contemplated. Provisions have been made for the intensification of scientific research with regard to large scale agricul- tural production and the organization of courses for the training of organ- izers for the collective farms. Numerous collective farms have al- ready been organized in Turkménis- tan and the North Caucasus, accord- | ing to reports from those regions. There are already more than four | thousand collective farms in the North Caucasus, with a total of 40,000 fam- ilies settled on them. ‘VENEZUELA LABOR FIGHTS DICTATOR BOGOTA, Colombia, March 21, — In spite of the rigid suppression of news by the Gomez dictatorship, re- ports from frontier towns indicate that the situation in Venezuela is still tense with a new uprising not un- likely.
