Within a few hours the House of Representatives jammed through the first of the militarist measures designed to give American imperialism the striking power it needs to beat British and Japanese imperialism away from good slave markets and markets for raw ma- terials, as well as markets inywhich to sell manufactured goods ahd in- vest capital. This first measure is the Britten bill authorizing the modernization of the battleships Pennsylvania and Arizona, including elevation of guns, at a cost of $14,800,000. The bill now goes to the senate. More Navy Money. Shortly after providing for this , increase in range of guns, a mea- gSure sure to bring stern protest from Great Britain, which holds * that such a bill violates the 5-5-3 naval agreement, the House passed | te Latin Americam workers and | and sent to the senate a $9,000,000 | Peasants against United States im-| | WORKERS STRIKE omnibus naval housing bill.

Any- one who might want to wear such a costume will be interested in the following account of the sort of clothes worn by ithe Uzbeks, and of living conditions among them, which | has been issued by the committee in charge: “The clothing worn by the male) Uzbeks is typical of that of all Cen- tral Asian native peoples. It con- sists of a roomy sit of clothes which serves both as under and outer gar-| ments, usually made of cotton or a native material. Over the shirt is worn a narrow dressing gown, made y of calico or silk, and decorated with | bright-colored embroidery. dressing *gown is worn as an outdoor costume. “On the feet are worn a pair of soft native shoes, and over these, leather boots or rubber galoshes, in all seasons. The headgear consists of a small sort of skulleap, brightly embroidered with silk. “The women are kept in a separ- | Polygamy | ate part of the house. still persists, uncer a rigid patriar- chal system, and brides are pur- chased and confined to a section of the house not to be entered by the men. The female costume consists of a long gown and long, narrov. breeches, made of bright calico or silk. A sleeveless sort of jacket is ‘worn over the gown. ‘wear, a special lor.g, sleeveless gown is thrown over the head, and the _ face is covered with a black horse- ) hair net, which is obligatory for all | except girls under 12 or 13, and {| is old, wornout women. ' The language the Uzbeks speak is @ peculiar sort of Turkish dialect, but one wearing their costume can get by if he or she approximates a Turkish cigarette undergoing in- cineration.” Daily Worker Agents of Section 3 to Meet Daily Worker agents of all units in Section 3 are called to meet to- morrow night at 6:30 at 101 W. 27th St. They are to bring a re- port of the Ruthenberg Sustaining Fund. Every agent of every unit in the section must attend, i ' ' j | B We nd wight ef eviction Le abolition of the landlords against t For outdoor | Arrested For Fraising USSR For praising the Soviet Union |Sam Kaplan, a member of the | Young Workers League, was ar- rested yesterday, charged with dis-~ |orderly conduct, on the instigation |of an unknown man he met in a |laundry. Kaplan was taken to the 100th St. police station and then to the Seventh District Magistrate’s Court, 315 W. 54th St., where the man who had instigated his arrest declared that Kaplan had insulted the Ameri- lean flag. This “crime” together with the “crime” of praising the So-| viet Union was sufficignt for Magis- trate Edward Weil, who refused to give the worker a chance to secure an attorney, to sentence him to three days in jail or $10 fine. In the absence of a defense at- torney, the fine was paid by the New York Section of the International Labor Defense and Kaplan was re- leased. WORKERS SCORE ~ HOOVER JUNKET | Anti-Imperialist Meet Pledges Fight “We American workers are going to fight shoulder to shoulder with |perialism.” This was the keynote struck by Harry M. Wicks, acting editor of the Daily Horker and Paul Crouch, National Secretary of the | United Section of the All-American |Anti-Imperialist League and ‘heartily responded to by a meeting |or from five to six hundred workers | 15th St. and Irving Pl. The specific occasion for the meet- ing was the war trip of president- elect Hoover to the republics of Latin America, which as Wicks characterized it, represented a turn) ‘in American ~ imperialism “from pacifist phrases to open jingoism” and which was a follow-up on Cool- idge’s war talk on Armistice Day. | The ability of Hoover to be the hard-headed tool for American im- perialism was brought out by Wicks when he traced Hoover’s personal record as an apostle of rationaliza- tion and accompanying exploitation of workers and farmers at home and abroad. That his trip to South America, despite the able capitalist reporter’s picture of pleasure and beautiful scenery, was to consolidate Wall Street investments and pave the way for more, and clear the path for the creation of a war base in South America. Announce Conference. The outstanding spirit of the meeting was the tone of determina- tion demonstrated by the speakers for the League and by the workers present to organize solidly side by side with their Latin American class brothers in direct activity against Yankee imperialism. To this end there will be in the near future a conference of the New York district of the League, to which all work- ing class organizations are to be in- | vited to send delegates. On an in- ternational scale this spirit will find expression in organizational | steps when the International Anti- A wide Imperialist League holds its confer- | ‘ence in Paris next July. | Harriet Silverman, secretary of | the New York branch of the League, | reviewed the activities of the sec- | tion since the last membership | meeting and pointed. out the need ‘for continued mass organization |and funds to carry on the anti- imperialist work. . Paul Crouch, national secretary of the League, stressed the need for a workers’ and peasants’ united front of the Americas if the fight against United States imperialism is to be successful. From his ex- perience in Latin American coun- tries, where he had served as a sol- |dier in the Yankee army, he de- | scribed the exploitation of the workers by American capitalists. Arthur C. Calhoun, author of “A | Worker Looks At Government,” urged intensive organizational work | among the workers in the Amer- icas and for immediate funds to the pleas of the other speakers.

Clothing Cutters to Elect Convention Delegates Tonight A membership meeting of the Cutters’ Welfare League, called especially to consider the question of electing delegates to the coming convention of the new cloak and |dressmakers union, as well as other important problems, is to be held tonight at the Joint Board head- quarters, 16 W. 21st St., at 7 o’clock, according to an announcement by the secretary of the League. Due'to the fact that several mem- bers of the League expressed them- selves at the last meeting as being opposed to amalgamaticn with the | Furriers Union at this particular period, discussion of this highly im- portant problem will be continued at this meeting till absolute clarity on the question prevails among, the membershi, The mobilization of the workers in the dress manufacturing indus- try for a general strike so as to or- ganize this greatly unorganized trade will also be taken up tonight.

The Plenum was decided upon by the Political Committee for the purpose of mobilizing the entire Party in the struggle against the war danger, which is increas’ the intensification of the aggressive policy of the United States in Central and South America, the acuteness of Anglo-American rela- tions and the increasing attacks on the Soviet Union, especially as shown by the revival of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. The Plenum will focus the attention of the entire Party mem- bership upon the right danger facing the Party and the latest out- break of Trotskyism, in the attempt of Cannon and his followers to organize a Trotskyist Party. The Plenum will adopt measures to carry out the demand of the Communist International that we “mob- ilize the whole Party to isolate and defeat Trotsky supporters.” The C. E. C.

S. Ambassador Houghton. Both excelled in pacifist speeches, “hopes” that war might be “out- lawed” by a piece of paper,\ both knowing that they were rushing warship-building at top speed. With |the U, S. congress answering to| fon, governor of the State of Coa- Coolidge’s war cry for cruisers, Houghton talked as if he meant what, he said. He cited the “United States-Canadian frontier” as peace- ful “although both are vigorously competing in every line of activity,” laying aside the fact that the U. has more money invested in Canada than has England. Chamberlain, not to be outdone, also took up Canada’s position, and with diplomatic phrases got around the difficulty of admitting that British imperialism is far from content with the situation in which the U. S. is supplanting Britain, and wound up by saying that the un- fortified frontier of Canada and the United States is a situation that “is also true of the ungyarded fron- tier of the United States and the British empire.” Thus did two imperialist diplo- mats of rival imperialisms celebrate Continued on Page Three 8.
