t FOREIGN NE ~AED LABOR MEET STRESSES LATIN AMERICAN WORK Urge Struggle Against Imperialist War (Spectal Cable to The Daily Worker) MOSCOW, April 3.—That the in- ternational propaganda committee push its work in the eastern and Latin-American countries and that an energetic propaganda campaign be conducted against an imperialist war was recommended yesterday in a report submitted to the fourth world congress of the Red Interna- tional of Labor Unions. The resolution on the financial question, which was also submitted invites the establishment in all coun- tries of special funds for interna- tional proletarian solidarity in order to help the workers during lock-outs conflicts, and so on. The resolution on work among the agricultural workers stresses the task of organizing the agr tura proletariat into unions which will render possible the prevention of the mass influx of agricultural laborers into the city and the creation of large reserves of unemployed. “This is the first resolution out- lining a program for revolutionary activity in trade union organizations of the agricultural proletariat,” the resolution says. The resolution on the questions of social legislation suggests to the Red International sections in various countries that they proceed with a more careful study of the position of the workers in the various branches of labor. GO BEFORE JURY Democrats Are Reluc- tant to Prosecute ALBANY, April 3. — The rawness of the alleged corruption in relation to the 1925 census graft being known to thousands of persons, Attorney General Albert Ottinger is compélled to go before the Grand Jury here Thursday morning and demand the in- dictment of Mrs. Florence E. S. Knapp, former secretary of state, who is charged with forgery, grand lar- ceny, false audits and destruction of public records. During her administration $1,200,- 000 was spent for the census. Several weeks ago the district at- torney of Albany county recommend- ed that the charges against Mrs. WKnapp be dropped. Due to protests the attorney general’s office was forced to reopen the case. It appears that originally the Al Smith, New York state administration planned merely to discredit the New York re- publican party in a report -without going so far as to indict. It is looked upon as a bad precedent. Because their hard-hearted above, to hold a tea party, the ors of the French Black Sed Fi the young gentlemen of His Ma naval jail.

There are many Italian workers in Cuba and Panama. The extradition treaty refers to ‘erims | inals” in general, without specifying |“common” criminals, and so extends the fascist power over Italians in Cuba and Panama.

Stress Need of Pan-Pactfic Trade Union Secretariat _ (This is the last installment of the report made by Sou Chao-jen, chairman of the All-China Labor Federation, at the second meeting of the Pan-Pacific Trade Union secretariat * * In conclusion T must say words about the Pan-Paci: Wnion Secretariat. a few ic Trade We have known for long the necessity of such an or- ganization, and now we are learning practieally the benefits to be gained. It is a necessary organ to lead the movement in the colonial and semi- eolonial countries, and to link up the labor struggle in capitalist lands with the revolutionary movement in the colonies; it is necessary in order to meet the special problems in the Pacific, which are growing so acute. Origin of Pan-Pacifie Secretariat. When, more than two years ago the Australian trade unions initiated this movement, we regvetted very much we could not send delegates to Australia; we were prepared to do so, but telegrams and letters were withheld from us by the imperialists until it was too late. We were very sorry indeed. We had many prob- lems which it was necessary to dis- euss with the trade unions of the Pacific. The Chinese trade unions always felt the need of a Pan-Pacific Trode Union organization. As fat back as 1924, there was held in Can- ton a Pacific Transport Workers Con- ference, in which Filipinos, Javanese, Chinese and others participated. The revolutionary struggle in China be- came so sharp and developed so fast, we could not pay the proper continu- ous attention to our international con- nections. kow our Pan-Pacifie Secretariat was suctessfully established; we only re-) wretted the absence then of our Aus- tralian comrades, for reasons which we all know. Because of that absence in the Hankow conference, we can be! 4 especially glad that our Australian However, last year in Han-; in Shanghai.) comrade is chairman of these ses- | sions. It is also a great pleasure to jus to meet here for the first time the | | Filipino trade union comrades, The | Hankow conference had its due in- | fluence upon the Chinese workers; we | published resolutions and speeches. | But we must admit that our propa- | ganda was insufficient, especially be- |eause the counter-revolution broke out so soon after. But in China we have never been able to do sufficient propaganda abcut anything, because we are so pressed for action. | Tasks of Pan-Pacifie Secretariat. | We believe the Pan-Pacifie Seec- j}retariat has three outstanding im- | mediate tasks. (1) We must establish wider and more intimate connections with all countries, This meeting must see that initiative is taken on this matter. (2) We must lead in organization of trade unions in all Tac fie lands, especially where the |movement is young or non-existent |In this connection we must note that Amsterdam and Getieva are now be- ginning to get active in the Bast on 'Lehalf of their imperialist masters; they would not accept the invitations of the All-China Labor Wederation but they will now accept the invita- tion of Chiang Kai-shek.
