TIT DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, CCTOBER 5 United States RESIST REPEAL OF STANDARD AND GULF CONCESSION British Hand Seen in Cancellation Brandishing the United States state department as a threat over the Colombian government in the recent cancellation by that govern- ment of the Barco oil concession, operated by the Gulf Oil Company, and the prospective cancellation of a concession held hy the Carib Syn- | dicate, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil of New Jersey, the president of the latter issued a statement here yesterday admonishing his business colleagues not to be “too pessimis- tic.” The cpening sentence of A. H. Bunker’s statement (president of the Carib Syndicate) interprets the act of the Colombian government as the “expropriation of the property rights of American citizens” and in- timates that it is good for the well- being of the Latin-American coun- try to repeal its cancellations. His statement follows: “The cancellation constitutes the expropriation of property rights of American citizens without compen- sation, and it is not believed that the Colombian governnient, in the inter- ests of the future welfare and de- velopment of the country, will find it desirable to maintain the posi- tion which it has assumed,” he says. “Colombia has too much at stake in the maintenance of friendly official and business relations with the United States to warrant the risk- ing of these relations by an act of confiscation such as the cancellation of the Barco concession would con- stitute. For this reason it is felt that there is no cause to view the present situation with respect to the Barco concession with pessimism. The DeMares concession, now being successfully operated by the Trop- ical Oil Company—subsidiary of In- ternational Patroleam Company— has been canceled four times, and as many times reinstated.” MILITANTS FLAY HUTCHESON GANG Progressives Ousted From Hall Continued from Page One He warned them that Hutcheson would inject other issues into the controversy, and urged them not to be swayed by such methods. Rosen further exposed the deception and dishonesty of the Hutcheson ma- chine, its strikebreaking activities, its union, the bosses and and its failure to carry out the mandates of the rank and file. Thunderous Applause. Thunderous applause greeted the speech and for a moment it ap- peared as if the progressives would control the convention. Rising to speak, Frank Duffy im- mediately launched off into a delib- erate and most venemous Red-bait- ing speech, which gave evidence of having been prepared in advance, | probably with the co-operation of other officials of the American Fed- eration of Labor. Duffy’s speech lasted for two hours. He quoted the decisions of the Red International of Labor Unions, from the writings of Wil- Mam Z. Foster, Communist candi- date for president, from the Daily Worker and from Labor Unity, the organ of the left wing labor move- ment. Pointing a finger at Rosen, Duffy accused him of being an agent of the Werkers (Communist) Party and that he had come to the convention at the orders of the Com- munists. Shout Down Delegates. At the height of his impassioned and terroristic speech he shouted that either he or Rosen must go. Delegates attempting to secure the floor were shouted down as Com- munists. Pandemonium reigned. Rising to his feet as the machin sluggers gathered around him Hutcheson warned Rosen to leave the convention instantly. A dele- gate managed to secure the floor to demand safe conduct for Rosen. With Rosen were ejected from the hall, Robert Golden, secretary of Local 1164 of New York City; Na- than Rosen, secretary of the De- fense Committee of Local 376; Thomas Schneider, president of Lo- tal 2090 of New. York; Fred Bobzin, | of Chicago; H.
