1 International Notes By GEORGE BELL HOW TAXES 4RE COLLECTED FROM COLONIAL PEOPLES Telegram sent to Herriot, Premier of France, by Dr, Bendjelloul, coun- cillor-general of Constantine, Algeria: . ooo “Have the honor to des- cribe extremely grave situation of natives of Ain-M’Lila mix- ed community. Tax collection brutality and HERRIOT torture. Insults, punches, whippings, imprisonment, forced labor. Exposure to sunstrike. Clothes worn by natives with taxes unpaid seized. Defaulting women taxpayers’ jewelry seized, Working tools and last bits of food seized. Revolting facts which human con- science condemns, giving the lie to beautiful speeches of Algerian Cen- tenary Celebration.” This dispatch, sent by a French of- fical, illustrates the “benefits of civ- ilized rule for backward peoples.” 'UARE IN PARIS NAMED FOR COMPOSER OF “INTERNATIONALE” The municipal council of St. Denis, ® working-class district of Paris, in zm aeons) Which the Cof- munists have }t he majority, I} has voted to honor the mem- ory of the late Pierre Degeyter, composer of the “Internationale,” by naming one of the squares in DEGEYTER St. Denis after him. The “Poularie,” oragn of the French Socialist Party, did not mention the death of Degeyter with as much as a single line. They, too, claim to be a working-class party—believe it. or not! eee PROTESTS FREE WORKERS EAST LIVERPOOL, O.—Under the pressure of protests mailed in by thousands of workers, Frank Fiber, Harry French, David Jones and Elias George, who were arrested July 22 in Wellesville arid railroaded to the jail at Lisbon, Ohio, for addressing an open air meeting, have been released. ina oak NEW “RED BANK PLOT” TOKYO, Oct. 15.—The Tokyo police | have borrewed a leaf from their Am- ’ erican colleagues and have discovered a “Communist bank plot.” iat whereas the American version was that Communists were causing runs on banks, the Tokyo police have im- proved it by claiming they have uncovered evidence to show the Communist Party is raising funds by engineering bank robberies. Ac- tually, what has been found is that 78 pistols were sold, not to Com- munists, but to a group of notorious reactionaries. The heroic struggles of the Japanese working masses under the leadership of the illegal Communist Party has made the ruling class so desperate that it is compelled to invent such idotic stories in.an effort to stem its growing influence. PUT OFF TRIAL OF TWO MINERS U.M.W. Aids Bosses in Murder Case EVERETTSVILLE, W, Va,, Oct, 16. —Postponement of the trial of Joe Orloff and Sam Opeck, militant miners charged with murder of a Negro mine guard, has been secured by Attorney Schullman, representing the International Labor Defense. Against the strenuous opposition of the prosscution atorney, who wanted an immediate trial, the I, L. D. won a postponement until Nov. 21. The prosecution’s -anxiety to ob- tain an immediate triai was based on its fear ef the mass protest which is being aroused throughout the mining field here demanding the re- lease of Orloff and Ojeck. Mass meetings are being organized thruout the entire Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Eastern Ohio district, and the workers are in a milftant mood. The reactionary leaders of the United Mine Workers, through its attorney in Morgantown, joined in he prosecution of these two miners, ind repeatedly through direct ef- orts, and through ite local Russian it, tries to force Orloff to make a confession of murder. An appeal was issued today by the 1. L. D, for continuation of financial support for the wife and two children of Orloff, who were Isft penniless and starving with the arrest of their breadwinners twe months ago.

H 4, } Brotherhood Officials And Bosses Building A Joint Organization oie FORT WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 16—A meeting called by the newly organized “Railroad Employes and Taxpayers Association” here on Sept. 29, brought out @ program for heayy taxes on motor traffic to give the railroads more profit and raise the cost of living and much nda to show that the railroads were facing bank- ruptey, and by implication, would ‘maye to give the workers a wage cut. 2 most interesting part of it all was the proof that the railroad man- agement and the. Brotherhood offi- clals are together in this scheme. In charge of the meeting were: J. F. Baughman, general chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen on the Nickel Plate Railroad, A. D. Peters, superintend- ent of the road, P. J.

The shipment is to cover further Japanese munition purchases and to bolster up Japanese credits with this country, Help Nanking Butchers. A shipment of $856,000 of gold from the Nanking Chinese Government was also received to cover Chinese purchases of munitions in this coun- try. The munitions purchased by the Nanking Government are not being used against the Japanese invaders of China, but against the heroic struggles of the Chinese worker-peas- ant masses. China Red Army Advances. Hankow, the capital of Hupeh Pro- vince, is again in the grip of the iron Red ring which completely sur- rounds it on all sides with the ex- ception of the approach from the Yangtze River. On the Hupeh front, bodies of Nanking troops are con- stantly going over to the Red Army. The Nanking army is unable to cross the River Han. Railway traffic be- tween Hankow and Peiping and Wu- chang, and Changsha has been dis- rupted by the Red Army, thus pre- venting the movement of Nanking re-inforeements to the battle front. Captured Town of Chi-Chong. In West Fukien Province, the Red Army is again* advancing pnd has captured the town of Chi-Chong. The rank and file of the Canton Nineteenth Route Army are still re- sisting the attempts of their officers to use them for the expropriation of the lands of the peasantry. The of- ficers have been forced to make a gesture of disarming the provincial troops which have constantly preyed on the peasants. In Kiangsi, the Red Army of the Chinese Soviet Republic, with its ca- pital in that pyovince, is advancing in three main directions in order to annihilate the white troops of the Kwangtung army under the command of Chen-Chi-Chang. The fourth di- vision of the Kwangtung army has been completely wiped out. The third division, 10,000 strong, was de- feated by a Red Army force of 2,000. Red Army troops:have occupied the town of Luyven in Anhwei Province and Hwapu in the Province of Che- kiang. The main strategy of the Red Army is designed to draw tighter the iron ring around Hankow. “Soo* Dock Workers Seize List of Scabs’ Names; EndsWagecut | SAULTE STE. MARIE, Mich., Oct. 13—The dock workers who unload cement boats here recently (as was stated in the Daily Worker) won their strike for 70 cents an hour instead of the 35 cents the company offered. They then formed an independent union, The Cement Workers Union, with about 250 members. The employers then advertised for men to work for 60 cents an hour, and succeeded in getting 12 to sign up. When the cement workers heard of this, 150 of them went to the dock o— OGOTA PAPER CALLS FOR WAR Paraguayan Troops In Advance War between Peru ang Colombia was declared “inevitable” in an edi- torial published on Saturday by “El | Tiempo,” a Bogota newspaper close to the Colombian government. On the same day, the Colombian goyern- ment defaulted in its interest pay- ments on loans secured in the United States. The terrific deepening of the crisis in the two South American countries, which together with the rivalries of American and British imperialism, is driving the ruling class to war as a capitalist “way out” was further re- flected in a financial statement issued by. the Anglo-South American Bank of London, The statement sum- marizes the relative financial status of Colombia and Peru, and shows a tremendous depreciation of the cur- rency of both countries under the | hammer blows of the crisis ang the | inflation policies of the bourgeoisie. In spite of the tremendous unem- ployment and mass suffering, the governments of both countries have recently appropriated huge sums for war purposes, to be secured by loans floated in the United States and other imperialist countries. In the undeclared war between Bolivia and Paraguy, the Paraguayan forces have definitely gained the up- per hand, driving the Bolivians from the Paraguayan forts they had oc- cupied, and capturing several of the Bolivian forts in the qisputed Gran Chaca region. Facing defeat on the field of battle, the Bolivian govern- ment, aided by the Standard Oil Co, and other American imperialist in- stitutions, has revived its charges of Paraguayan “atrocities” as a means of condoning its plans to bomb the civilian population of the Para- guayan capitol, Ascunsion.

L INDUSTRY GAINS BENEFIT WORKERS No Capitalists to Rob Labor (Cable by Inprecorr) MOSCOW, Oct. 16. — Yesterday Marked the fifth anniversary of the Publication of the Manifesto of the Central Committee of the U. 5. S. R. introducing the seven hour working day in the country of the proletarian dictatorship, ‘While tn the capitalist countries the tendency is increasingly toward the maximum exploitation of the work- ers, with lengthening of the work- ing day,.stretch out systems, reduc- tion of wages, spreading of the ef- fects of unemployment through job rationing, etc, in the Soviet Union there is @ constant improvement in the material and living conditions of the workers, bringing with it a re- duction in the working day. The introduction of the seven- hour day in the U. 8. 8. R. was accompanied by a further raise in wages, by new construction of model dwellings for the workers, etc. While-in the U.S. in the few cases when. the five day week has been instituted, it has been accom- panied with drastic wage cuts for the workers involved, By the beginning of the current year 86.4 per cent of all workers in heavy industry were transferred to the seven hour working day. By the second half of 1932, various leading branches of industry were trans- ferred to the seven-hour day, in- cluding the ferrous metallurgy, basic chemistry, electrotechnical and rub- ber industries. About 97 per cent of the workers in the light industries already have the seven hour working day. Ninety-six and three per cent of the workers in the railway repair shops have also been transfrred to the new working day. Its extension to other categories is rapidly pro- ceeding, COMMUNISTS LEAD MONTANA JOBLESS Candidates at Head of Relief March GREAT FALLS, Mont., Oct., 16— Enthusiastic response is being given to the Communist campaign through- out Montana Rodney Salisbury, can- didate for governor, and Harry Mul, for Congress, accompained by ‘Mother’ Ella Reeves Bloor are touring the state, and drawing big crowds. Saturday, they leq a big demon- stration of the unemployed, demand- ing relief from the county Commis- sioners. The sheriff pyt up a bluff that he would smash the demonstration, but retired ignominously when he saw the size and militancy of the crowd. ‘The county Commissioners received the committee, and turned over all demands and passed the buck entirely to a relief committee appointed by the Anaconda Copper Co managers. The demonstrators demanded that all city workers be paid, that adequate relief be goven the starving children of the unemployed, Saturday night crowded halls, of workers and farmers cheered the C pean tna speakers and pledged sup- port, ee ce Editor's .Note—The demonstration seems to have been in Great Falls, but the telegram is unclear). Will Re-Open Slave Camps in ( California | SAN DIEGO, Cal.—According to the daily papers here, the slave labor camps will soon be reopened in Cali- fornia. These slave camps force the workers to cut fire trials, repair water drains and do road work without pay. Several years ago, workers were paid 5 cents an hour and board for the same work. Gov. Rolph has boasted about these slave labor camps and has urged other states t6 ; follow his example. Since these slave camps were opened, a great many of the ranchers and bosses have taken Goy. Rolph's cue and have been getting their work done in exchange for board only. Rolph and Hoover, with their slave camps and wagecutting policy, are trying to drive the workers down to a coolie standard, 1 Join the Unemployed Councils. Demand the abolition of the slave camps!

VET EVICTED FOR NOT GIVING BRIBE Uegion Helps Put Over Evictions (By a War Veteran) NEW YORK.—Marshall Joffre, a city marshal asked $10 bribe recently from an evicted ex-servicoman to keep the Itaer in his home another day. When refused the mrashal put him out. The American Legion, of which Jimmy Afront is director of the Wel- fare dept., was asked to take care of veterans, but instead they put vet- erans into more trouble by stalling until veterans find themselves facing eviction, The plan of the director is as follows: The veteran asks the landlord for @ dispossess, with which the director promises to obtain a rent-check. But when the dispossess is obtained and brought to the legion, they turn him away and tell him to call up the day before the eviction is to take place, They promise him at that time that the eviction will not take place. But this promise is not kept and the vet- eran is thrown out on the street. When he complains, he is thrown out of the American Legion office and called a “red.” Jimmy Affront is also commandant of the American Legion Post 959 and it is one of the rank and file mem- bers of that post who submits this exposure, Against Imperialist War; for the defease of the Chinese people and of the Soviet Unien ‘ About. the Home Relief Bureau. ‘They are supposed to give the vet- food'ticket of $8.96 i PRIEST FIGHT BONUS PRINCETON, N.
