(Special to the Daily Worke-) LONDON, (By Mail)—The fol- lowing resolution was passed on the motion of the Tailors’ and Garment Workers’ Union at the last meeting of the London Trades Council. “The London Trades Council is of the opinion that the’ attitude of the British government to the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics is in- imical to world peace and contrary to the best interests of the workers both of this country and the U. S. 8. R., and is one of the principal |causes of the increasing unemploy- | ment ‘of this country. The Counci! | strongly urges the government to |approach the Soviet Government without delay with a view to re- lestablishing diplomatic relations jand to develop to the fullest possible extent exports to Russia.” The resolution was moved by B. Sullivan, London executive of the Tailors’ and Garment Workers’ | Union, and carried unanimously.

The election is the primary. There are 18 candidates, for five places open of the board. nists are not nominated, the Party will conduct a campaign between now and the final election, in April |for the workers to write in their names. Socialists Bitter. The capitalist and socialist press is distinctly angry over the appear- jance of the five Communists on the jelection lists. It was a hard job |to put them there, as the law re- | quires 1633 signatures per candi- {date. All Communists and sympa- \thizers turned out, and collected an | average of 1,750 signatures per can- | cent were names of Negro voters. The campaign for signatures was | |based on the fact that the candidates |were Communists, though this is : supposed to be a non-partisan elec- tion. The Communist arguments were gladly listened to, by Negro as well as other workers. Another difficulty the Commun'st candidates face is discharge from | their jobs. In the mayorality cam- paign recently, one candidate, | Charles Varga, a worker in the In- |ternational Harvester Company | |plant was immediately discharged as soon as his name appeared on |the Communist list. Fight Jingoes. The issues involved in the Mil- waukee election center around mili- tarization of the schools. A steady drive for military training in the high schools has been conducted by employers’ organizations and capi-| talist party politicians, though not so much in the election campaign | because of the workers’ dislike for | it. The Communist candidates for school board are H. Friedrichs, M. Miller, P. Ordanoff, J. Kasun, and M. Berson. |\Aged Worker, Wife, \Grandson, in Gas-Filled House SALEM, Mass., March 12.—Daniel | |Murphy, 85, his wife and their!
