DAIL Y WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1930 MORE TRIBES ‘JOIN ARMED INSURRECTION IN NORTHERN STOCK CRASH IN WALL TEA PLANTATION STREET HAS ITS ECHO IN yi aprps gine. ENGLAND; CRISIS WORSE ON THE POLICE Bombs in 5 B Cities May Show Street Fighting) Capitalist press reports from In- dia (always stating less than the} facts because of the censorship) tell | of a spread of the armed revolt| among the peasants of the North-!| west and northern frontiers and of | the continuation of the tax strike/ in many parts of India. A dispatch giving almost no <« tails states that the day before terday bombs were thrown in five| jeities: Lahore, Lyallpur, Gujran-| » wala, Amritsar and Sheikpura. This| may be a cautious way of admitting | . that there has been street fighting jin these places, all in northern In-| dia. From southern India, a Madr dispatch tells of the arrest of 3 Unemployed Grow; MacDonald Unites With Liberals-Conservatives Against Workers “Labor” Gov't Aids British Imperialists in U.S.- Anglo War Moves LONDON.—While MacDonald, in the interest of British imperial- ism, attempts to drown the growing revolutionary struggles of the In- dian masses in a sea of blood, the renewed stock crash in the United States is finding its echo in the sharpening crisis in Great Britain. The last week of stock smashes in Wall Street were followed by similar stock slumps in London. Also, there is a constant stream of new ich- less men and women. The registered number is very rapidly reaching the 2,000,000 mark. MacDonald’s “remedy” is to unite with the lib- erals and conservatives, who support his India policy 100 per cent in the battle against the demands of the unemployed. Exports have declined tremendously, indicating ‘the sharpness of the crisis. Nearly 80 per cent of the fall in exports consisted of manu- factured products, the biggest decrease being in cotton goods. Whole- sale prices have dropped 12 per cent below last year. * * * Francis W.

More Voices Heralding the Tariff War PARIS, June 18.—The capitalist | press are full of rumors of the on- coming tariff war between the United States and other capitalist countries. Aside from foreign pre: comments, which are almost unani- mous in their hostility to the Amer- ican tariff, there are suggestions that the war debts, which any Eu- ropean powers owe to Wall Street and which can only be paid in mer: chandise, may be used for the pu pose of reprisal. It is possible that the French imperialists may sus- pend debt payments and demand a revision of the debt settlement account of the high tariff |dealing a ' Street. on , and thus counter-blow to Wall Seek to Ban Soviet Coal From U. S. Speaking in the name of the Mel- | jon interests, Representative Brumm | of Pennsylvania called upon the ways and means committee of the house to adopt a bill which would legalize an embargo against the im- portation of coal from the Soviet Union. Attempts of this kind had been made before, but the existing law did not offer a sufficient basis ! for this. According to Brumm, Pennsyl- vania manufacturers last year im- ported 180,000 tons of anthracite coal from the Soviet Union at prices about half the cost of laying down Pennsylvania hard coal in the same market. The Soviet coal is both cheaper and better and the American manu- facturers want to buy in the cheap- est market. The coal operators, however, are spreading the lie that vict labgr and that Soviet miners are underpaid. Without any scruple about the exploitation of the miners in America and in their own state, these operators suddenly find tears for the “poor Soviet miners.” Brumm wants a law prohibiting “convict coal.” It*remains to be seen which group of bosses will be victorious. New Tariff Made Law, Will Hasten War The Smoot-Hawley tariff bill be- came law when Hoover signed it Tuesday. The higher duties pro- vided in the bill went into effect at all ports at midnight yesterday. After eighteen months of lobbying and log-rolling, the billion dollar steal was finally put over, and now | the republicans will appeal to the masses to endorse this “achieve- ment” in the coming congressional elections. The tariff will only deepen the economic crisis and intensify the economic conflicts between the im- perialist rivals. This can only mean a hastening of the imperialist war. Already it has called forth a wave |of protests and threats of reprisals on the part of many capitalist |states. The U. S. tariff will restrict |the. market of foreign capitalist countries and thereby still further countries also, literature and aims at cutting off the revolutionary workers of Amer- ica from their fellow-workers | abroad. This provision shows what an utter mockery and sham is the | “freedom of thought” in capitalist democracy. Whalen Forgery Too Raw for State Dept. Use| NEW YORK.—Another repudia- tion of the scrapped amateur sleuth, Whalen, was made yesterday when tee secretary of the department of commerce, Lamont, informed a com- mittee from the American-Russian thamber of commerce that he had ‘no information” in regard to the ‘Whalen Documents.” In the statement issued by the American-Russian chamber of com- merce it is pointed out that the! attitude of the department of com- merce had been in no way modified by the “Whalen Documents” and that the chamber itself, on Lamont’s advice, should in no way change its attitude toward Russian trade or toward the Amtorg. the Soviet coal is produced by con- | intensify the economic crisis in those Section 305 of the tariff provides | for the exclusion of revolutionary | to be sure, but the movement of the | workers and peasants goes on in other and more effective forms. The rebel chieftain, the Haji of Turangzai is still encamped not far |from Peshawar, and more tribes have joined him. Yesterday a bombing expedition |by the British air force killed men, | women and children in the villages |around Gandera, and according to the British, “scattered a large force of Afridi tribesmen gathered there.” But many similar bombing expedi-| tions have not dislodged the armed body of the Haji at Shabkadur. | The Dharar tribe in the Gujerat revolted, and an armed force of | has captured villages in the Kaira district. Threat to Afghanistan. The press service of the League; Against Imperialism, headquarters |, in Berlin, tells of the British rapidly (fortifying the Afghan frontier, in- |vading and flooding with troops the |formerly independent buffer state of Waziristan, and of Afghan uneasi- ness about it all. It is obvious that ‘the British government would like to occupy Afghanistan itself as a base ifor an attack on the Soviet Union, but the Afghan army, a good one,! is being mobilized along the frontier , too. | The same press service says: In Coimbatore, an important in- dustrial and plantation area, the vi!- lagers are reported as having open ed fire on the police. The planta tions in Coimbatore formed mostly of tea estates are owned exclusi by British capitalists and the work ers on these plantations count among the worst paid and the most oppres- sed in India. These workers are re cruited from the peasantry rour about. Peasants Militant. “Wholesale arrests of the peas- ants of Hissar for participation in the civil disobedience campaign are ‘reported. A ‘Free Press of India’ | message adds that despite the reigu of terror in Hissar the peasants jhave declared that they would re main ‘undeterred by threats and any Iron Co. shops, when the Frisco lines had just laid off 200 men, when the Pullman Co. had just announced a sharp reduction in working forces. “In the passage of this law can be seen clearly the hand of the American Federation of Labor. Un- doubtedly an investigation would disclose that the capitalist agents at the head of this organization are behind the law. The last issue of the Birmingham Labor Advocate, fascist organ of the A. F. of L,, calls for the running out of town of or- ganizers of the Communist Party and for immediate action against them by the police.” ove A. F. of L. Fights Negroes. A copy of the Birmingham Labor Advocate (A.F.L.) received here, dated June 14, has a big front-page rticle which says: “The teaching of racial equality, of the brother- hood of man as taught by these paid hirelings of Moscow, Soviet and Communists, are not sound doc- trine....” Also, “If anyone should have told'us ‘that’ a mob of .colored men would march through our streets and gang up in front of our charity dispensing agencies and make arrogant demands that they be furnished with food and money, | we would have called him looney, | but such was the power of Johnson, nd others of the Red agents, that actually occurred.” Birmingham is the Maadatarsaes of the A, F. of L. “drive to organize the South.” The Birmingham La- bor Advocate is an official organ of the A.

Thus, the Journal of Commerce, japply at summarizing the latest report of | the “Iron Age,” organ of the steel industry, states that steel orders | from the auto industry have dropped heavily, while orders from other in- dustries which use steel have suf- fered a sweeping decline. “Curtail- ment in automobile production in July,” the Journal of Commerce | writes, “will prove more drastic, it “now appears, than was recently ex- | pected. Indications that several motor car plants will shut down for two weeks or longer next month and that the general average of op- erations for that industry will fall to 50 per cent of capaci A Cen- \tral Western steel plant catering to the automobile trade has been shut | down and another will discontinue production June 29.” | Reports from Detroit show that | 7,000 men have already been laid’) off in the Ford Rouge plant, pre- liminary to the big lay-off due on July 4, The latest dispatch from Detroit says that the Ford Motor Co. announced a two weeks’ shut- | down, beginning. July 12, and that | most of the other auto plants in the Detroit district are planning sim- ilar shut-downs during July and ‘August. This is only in the auto industry. The Iron Trade Review, in its latest issue, says: “The smokestacks of some Mahoning Valley sheet mills already are rusty, and July and August promise to be the lowest months of the year in automobile demand, largely because of shut- downs by Ford and other important interests.” The New York state “Advisory Committee on Employment Prob- lems,” appointed by the state indus trial commissioner some time*ago with a lot of loud talk about “solv- ing the unemployment problem,” has released for publication its report to the state.
