Hoover Haitian Comuni ion to Keep HOVER HAITIAN COM—Pg 3— Washington dispatches state that the triser Galveston, which was ord- sered to Jacmel, Haiti, last week, is being sent back to the United States naval base at Guantanamo Bay— which is only a few hours speedy steaming from Haiti anyhow. This move is taken to be an effort to give a “peaceful” color to the continued marine occupation, and does not off- set the fact that Haiti remains in a “state of incipient revolt” as Hai- tian bourgeois leaders state. The Porter resolution to give oover the “commission” desired to all off further militant action by | e Haitian masses against United | tates occupation is admitted even by congressmen to be as vague and indefinite as possible. As intro- duced it did not even say how many should be on the commission, or | _ what it was to do. This, of course, was deliberately made vague to avoid making any _ awkward promise. The whole affair is a shameless deceit and is never intended to do more than to serve as a pacifying gesture. At that it was considered first in a secret meeting of the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee.

Rule The “United States Daily,” organ of the government, admits that of the total debt of Haiti, about $19,- 000,000, most is in bonds held by the National City Bank. Of the population, Under-Secre- tary of State Cotton, attemping to cover up the crime of American im- perialist occupation, when asked how it happened that 95 per cent of the people are still illiterate after U. S. occupation since 1915, said that “marked results were not to be ex- pected in the limited time of five years since 1922” and when remind- ed that the treaty forced on Haiti, dated back to 1916, said that “changes are not rapid.” Evidently Mr. Cotton thinks this is 1927, if he holds that only “five years” have elapsed “since 1922,” and figures | that “changes not being rapid,” the marines who have been in Haiti 14 years must stay there something like 2,000 more to improve matters, As a matter of fact the school question, which started the strike, came about by a reduction of the school fund by an American super- visor, whose salary is $10,000 a year, with an assistant at $7,500, | while native teachers are paid $6 a month! Role L. U, PLENUM ~ OPENS WITH U.S, | HIGH ON AGENDA ‘ Losovsky Speaks Upon y Wall St. Crash (Wireless By Inprecorr) MOSCOW, Dee. 18—The Sixth Plenum of the Executive Bureau of the Red International of Labor Unions has adopted an agenda as follows: The results of the economic struggles; the situation in the French vevolutionary union federa- tion; the situation in the Trade Union Unity League of the U. S. A.; the situation in the Czecho-Slova- kian trade unions; the preparations for the Fifth World Congress of the RLLU. The speakers at the Plenum will be Losovsky, Merker, (Vitkovski, Foster, Zapotocky, Gey and Yusse- foviteh. In the opening session, Losovsky, General ‘Secretary of the Red Inter- national of Labor Unions (Profin- tern), declared that the stock ex- [ise crash in the United States | ‘ k -ffected the whole capitalist world, nd would intensify the contradic- tions of capitalism, makng more necessary than ever the independent leadership by revolutionary trade unionists of the wage struggles to come. Mine Owners Support MacDonald Coal Bill LONDON, Dec. 18.—Charles A. Selden, in a cable to the “New York Times,” says that MacDonald will have liberal and tory support in presenting the Graham ¢oal bill. The Graham bill raises hours to 7% after MacDonald promised the miners a seven-hour day, and cre- ates a commission to cu wages. The miners’ delegates accepted the 7%-hour day with the under- standing there would be no wage cuts. MacDonald has approved the bosses’ demand for the appointment of a wages commission whose only function will be to slice the miners’ pay. “No member of any party in the House of Commons,” says Selden, therefore, is to be found tonight who thinks there is any chance of the collapse of the Labor govern- ent because of its coal bill, Mine owners in Yorkshire coal districts today endorsed the bill. There has been no protest against it from owners in any other part of the country.” Communists Hit Mine Sell.Out in Britain LONDON (By Mail).—The pres- ent wages agreement in the mining industry in South Wales expires in jecember, and the South Wales Miners’ Federation has arranged & meeting with the owners. The union representatives will probably suggest that the present agreement be extended until April. when the new legislation for a half-hour re- duction of working hours comes in- to force. The owners will probably _smmuna @ more lasting agreemént on the ground that uncertainty will damage the export trade. They will certainly oppose any ONracti of hours unless it is accémpanied by wage reductions, The union leaders are urgently desirious of coming to an agreo- ment with the owners in order to prevent a stoppage, but the owners themselves are not so eager to con- tinue the present agreemnt. There is every possibility that the end of the year will see a serious conflict Capitalist Nations Build More Air Forces for War, LONDON, Dee. 18.—C. G. Grey, editor of “All the World’s Aircraft, 1929,” points out the rapid war preparations of the capitalist na- tions as measured by their increas- ing military air forces. “We may be approaching an age of peace,” comments Grey, “but no-| body seems to be taking any | chances about it.” He points out that there is a| steady expansion of aerial fighting forces. NEGRO TOILERS AID ORGANIZER Are for Communist, Prosecuted by Boss NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 17.—When Stephen Graham, who faces five years imprisonment under the charge “inciting Negroes to rebel- lion” went out to distribute leaflets last night calling the workers, white and black, to organize into unions on a basis of the Communist demand of full political, racial and social equality, three Negro workers volunteerd to aid him. “We want to help you,” they told him, “in your work. We know you and the organization you represent is for us.” Graham is an organizer for the Trade Union Unity League and the International Labor Defense, and is now out on $2,500 bail. His trial comes up in Corporation Court of Norfolk, January 13. He has been threatened with lyn- ching and must change his place of residence nightly in order to escape the terrorism of the tools of the Norfolk employers. Boss Presses Charge. Graham, a young Communist, went South spreading the doctrine that workers of all races must unite to fight their common enemy, the exploiting class. Charges against Graham are be- ing pressed by the Spring Manu- factiring Company, of Norfolk, 85 per cent of whose workers are Negro. The Spring Manufacturing Com- pany, a subsidiary of the Nachman Spring-filled Corporation of Chica- go has other units scattered through both North and South—and has two plants in Norfolk. In the latter city, too, there e:e 29 fertilizer plants, large shipbuilding yards, saw mills, all employing great num- be of Negroes, miserably exploit- ed. Advocated Union. For that reason Graham actively fostered ur’ conditions among Nesro and white workers, October 15, before a meeting of 150 Negro workers. He was arrested after the meeting and threatened with “being taken into an alley and used as a football.” Graham’s room has been raided and all literature found there con- fiscated, and then he was charged with “conspiracy to incite the col- ored population to insurrection agfinst the white population.” The International Labor Defense which fights for all workers of all races issued the following state- ment: “To set Graham free, uncon- ditionally, is one of the major duties of all members of the I. L. D,, white and black. He is an advocate of the I. L. D. principle of ‘no race discrimination—the equality of all races!” opposed to any worsening of wages and working conditions. The Communist Party and the Minority Movement are hard at work preparing to meet any emer- gency at the end of the year and in South Wales, particularly as the y tora themselves are energetically to stiffen the resistance of the miners, ROB WORKERS T0 RAISE LOAN FOR BANKRUPT BEBLIN ‘Socialists in New At- tack on Masses (Wireless by Inprecorr) BERLIN, Dec. 18.—The Berlin city council has announced increases in rates charged for gas, water and electricity, and a raise in the fares of all buses, street cars and sub- ways, in this way hitting at the workers’ standard of living. oe Not only is the national treasury of Germany empty, but also that of the city of Berlin, where also the “socialists” are the dominant party. As in the national government, the bankruptcy was sought to be re- lieved by loan to the city from an American banking corporation, a loan of $14,400,000. And just as in national affairs, Hjalmar Schacht, who as president of the national government bank is, in league with S. Parker Gilbert, the American reparations dictator, bossing the financial affairs of Ger- many, refused to underwrite the loan to the city until it would gua- rantee repayment by increased in- come. Since the “socialists” by no means ‘would think of taxing capitalists, they have agreed to increase rates on publie service and thus pile all the burden on the masses. The in- creased rates will take $1,200,000 more out of the pockets of the mass- es each month. In addition the $100,000,000 loan of the New York bankers, Dillon, Read & Co. to the national govern- ment, has been further held up by Schacht demanding that the finan- cial “reform” bill of Hilferding, ap- proved by the Reichstag, but lacking some concrete terms providing for | increased taxes, be defined. Schacht himself demanded in the name of German capitalists, that taxes on the capitalist class be cut down $192,000,000, and this was done. But only $96,000,000 have been provided for so -far on in- creased taxes against the necessities of life, and now Schacht demands that $120,000,000 more be piled on the working class, or he will refuse approval of the Dillon, Read loan. The “socialists” are quite ready to do this to escape bankruptcy, but hope to maintain some prestige among the workers if possible by pretending to give in only when pressed . Boss Scoffs at Pay for McAlester Deaths (Continued from Page One) ing hopelessly, waiting and waiting. They are not allowed into the two morgues, where other miners seek to identify the victims. Boss Lets Relatives Starve. Over 230 dependants of the minets were given a cold shoulder today by Hugh C. Rice, general manager of the McAlester Fuel Co. He stated bluntly that the company would do little for these dependants. He said it was not the policy of his company to take out any accident insurance on its miners. Company officials scoff at the idea of paying out any money for the orphans of what they call “Niggers and Greas- ers.” (34 of those killed were Mexi- ean workers and 15 Negroes). The bosses are concerned only with whether it pays to start up the mine again, and are cursing the “super- stitution” of miners which makes them unwilling to work in mines where major disasters have taken place. Experiencé has taught the miners that such places are danger- ous. No Safeguards. The Oklahoma mines are notori- ously badly inspected. The United Mine Workers of America, which once had a membership of 8,589 in this state (and now has only 43) paid no attention and was not inter- ested in safety measures. The Oklahoma state constitution has a provision in it which prohibits the compulsory compensation of men killed in industry. The identified dead are Frank Parker, Manuel Huerta, Ray Welch, Pete Tilford, Green Brown, Robert Cross, M. J. Stewart, Ervin Groves, W. Cunningham, George Walker, Raphael Salazar, Leonard Davis, John Charvez, Y. Castillo, H. C. Davidson, Claude Dotson, M.

Merdina, Frank Meding, A. Chavis, Juan Villareal, Amos Kemp, Lincoln McKinney, Henry Skag Walter Murdock, Manuel Luna, S. L. Mata and Frank Moreno. The mine officials. themselves state that the fire probably started from a spark thrown out by a coal cutting machine. There is not the slightest indication that any preca tions to prevent or localize an ex- plosion were taken. The annual death rate in industry in Oklahoma mines is 94 per 10,000. This is higher than West Virginia, the next highest, which kills 68 per 10,000 every year. the vourgeols age, by thin—that ft DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1929 An economic crisis is beginning in France. It is reflected in the cabinet crisis in which the premier- ship has lately been passed from Briand to Tardieu. Boncour, the “socialist” leader is held in reserve by French capitalism until the crisis matures, when the “socialists” will take the lead in fascist suppression of the workers. HOOVER HELPS FRIEND GRAFT (Continued from Page One) the sugar lobby by instructing the senate committee to get together with the sugar bosses. The letter in part says: “Several members of the (House Ways and Mean) Committee have appealed to President Hoover and he has instructed his secretary, Mr. Newton to establish contact between the committee and ourselves. I un- derstand that some suggestion of this came from the individual mem- bers of the committee. “We are inclined to be a little doubtful about this step, but in the end would, of course, have to do what President Hoover desires, espe- sially as he seems to be genuinely interested in our cause. Heretofore our work has been in the direction of leaving final negotiations to Sen- ator Smoot, who, after all, is the spokesman for the beet sugar in- terests.” Hoover has remained silent on his efforts to aid his personal attorney, Shattuck, earn the $75,000 graft that was pair him to enlist the sup- port of the chief capitalist execu: tive on behalf of the sugar robbers, The revelations brought out be- fore the Senate investigating com- mittee show that the sugar lobby were backed by Machado, Hoover, Crowder and the National City Bank of New York. “Constitution” Ditched by Fascist Dictator Rivera, in Spain MADRID, Dec. 18.—Dictator Primo de Rivera has given up his efforts to pass a constitution. The proposed constitution was so reac- tionary that even some of the capi- talist elements whose powers were to be clipped refused to go along. In giving up his “constitution” Rivera said: “To avoid unnecessary difficulties I have given up the idea of im- planting a constitution under my government.” The fascist dictatorship of Ri- vera will continue as heretofore. It would have continued in the same fashion even if the constitution was adopted. The Union Patriotica, which is Primo de Rivera’s political organ- ization broke down in its attempt to put the “constitution” over. One of the main features of the docu- ment was the placing of all political power in the hands of the king and his fascist council. * * MADRID, Dec, 18.—Special pris- ons, with more brutal conditions, will ‘be established by Primo de Rivera, for Communists and revolu- tionary unionists. One of the ex- cuses given for the change is that when put in regular prisons the Communists propagandize the other prisoners, and have been very suc- cessful in their efforts. The real reason is increase in the suppression against working-cl resistance. Bulgarian Communists Defy Sentences With Challenge to Fascism Reports state that at Sofia, Bul- garia, yesterday, 52 Communists were sentenced to terms in prison totalling 830 years. Three supposed “principal” prisoners, Stoyanoff, Kesiakoff and Panow, were sen- tenced to 15 years each. Thirty-six defendants got terms ranging from a year and a half to 12 and a half years. The charges against the prisoners were that they tried to “revive” the Communist Party, which the govern- ment declared illegal in 1925. The big majority of the defendants are working men. When the judge pronounced the sentences the Communists shouted out: “Down with fascism!” Fearing demonstrations of protest by the masses, the town was placed under heavy guard of police. Berthon, a member of the French Communist Party and the French parliament, attended the trial. ‘In Cate of « Blow-Out WORKERS’ CORR Write to the Daily Worker, 26 Union Square, New York, About Conditions in Your Shop.

The Interstate Commerce! Commission pointed out to the big | ailroads that with the lower stocks of the smaller railroads these could | profitably be swallowed by the big transportation trusts. Foremost among the present moves of monopoly capital is the | recommendation of Owen D. Young, | that the American Telegraph &| Telephone Co., together with the General Electric Co. and the Radio Corporation of America, engulf all the other telegraph, cable and radio companies into one gigantic mon- opoly, headed by the Morgan bank- ers. Young pointed out at the time that this was necessary for Wall Street to fight British imperial- ism’s highly trustified communica- tions system. Young asked the Hoover adminis- tration for direct government help in this step. There is little doubt that the entire government appara- tus will be at the service of the bankers in this move for further trustification in the telegraph, radio and cable systems. The internal crisis of United States capitalis mis at the basis of the rush for bigger mergers. The communication system super-trust recommended by Young was pointed out by him at the time to be an absolutely necessary step for the imperialists for the nex: war.
