Notes oe re 1. “IZVESTIA” ON PERSIAN ACTION MOSCOW.—The “Izvestia” treats the decision of the Persian govern- ment to end its agreement with the Anglo-Persian Oil Co,, as an event of first rate political importance. It describes the history of the conces- sion and declares that the conces- sion was an unusually crass example of imperialist colonial robbery even in the annals of imperialism. Al- though the profits of the company rose steadily the latter paid out only @ small portion to the Persian gov- ernment owing to the doctoring of the profit accounts. From 1914 to 1930 the oil yield of the company in- creased tremendously and the capi- tal of the company increased from two ta twenty-four million pounds Sterling. ‘The British government denies that the concession can be ended owing to the absence of any provision permitting either party to give notice to end it, but the Persian govern- ment points out that the Persian constitution does not permit the granting of concessions to foreigners without the express approval of a decision of the Persian parliament. The Persian parliament has never granted such permission so that con- Stitutionally the existence of the concession is very doubtful. The “Isvestia” points out that the British lawyers will be able to find a hun- dred and one legal reasons to dis- prove the legality of the Persian action. However, such questions were not settled in courts of law un- til they had been previously settled by the existing alignment of politi- cal forces. In view of the power of the oil company which has the full weight of British imperialism behind it, the “Isvestia” finds the Persian attack on the D’Arcy concession very, ven- turesome, but possible in view of the heavy blows suffered by the British empire during the world crisis. In conclusion the “Isvestia” declared that no matter what the results of the negotiations will be, the deci- sion of the Persian government to give netice to end the concession represents a heavy reverse for Brit- ish colonial policy and will have far- reaching effects on the decaying or- ganization of British colonialism in the Orient. 0 Ve sie. ‘ ‘ ea * “WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT...” WARSAW.—The ratification of the - | Pact of Non-Agersssion between Po- \| land and the Soviet Union has caused the bourgeois oppositional press to reproach the Pilsudski gov- ernment with its failure to carry out its anti-Soviet plans and to register its defeat. The oppositional “Nati- onal Democratic” newspaper “Polo- nia” in Kattowitz writes: “The signing of the Pact with the Soviet Union is the humiliating end of the ‘great’ Eastern Plans of . the'government. They were grand plans, but they were based on feel- ings rather. than on facts. The course of events has countered them completely. To alter the plans to fit the realiiies was be- yond the power of the government. The government dreamed of sur- rounding the Soviet Union with a chain of States under Polish lead- ership. However, Soviet Russian diplomacy has succeeded in break- ing up this chain into its individual links, The Bolshevis's have suc- ceeded in concluding separate agreements with each of these States. No wonder that the Bol- shevists are trit and are very proud of their success.” RR. UNION HEADS AIDING PAY CUT Job Is to Keep the Members Passive (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) s o8 those of the rest of the working class. Agreement Already Broken. The tactics of the railway union leaders play directly into the hands of the companies. The companies have already broken their formal agreement by opening their propa- ganda war upon the rail workers. Only leaders committed to a non- strike policy and therefore to sur- render of the interests of the rank file could continue to act on the ssumption that anything like an ment still exists with the rail- Policy Determined. Tt is clear that the companies and their Wall Street owners are deter- mined/to put over a further wage cut and drastic revision of favorable working rules. They are depending upon the union bureaucrats to keep the rank and file quiescent—to pre- “yent strikes. Unity of Purpose. 9 this question there is com- plete unity between the union and company officials. Both realize that a strike moyement on the railroads might easily be the forerunner of nation-wide mass struggles against the wage cutting and speedup driye in the principal industries. They realize the revolutionary possibilities of such a struggle. But the railway companies are de- termined to increase profits and pro- the Wall Street bondholders at ‘the expense of the wages and work- conditions of the rail workers. They have put it up to the railway union officials to prevent strikes. It isa risky maneuver to attempt but the deepening crisis impels them to try it. ~ This is the inner content of the ling” in Chicago. Behind it “quibb all is the fear of a rank and file mass revolt. ~ Civil Liberties Asks Congress Probe Police Attack on_ Marchers 30,000 KILLED IN | UNDECLARED WAR Argentine and Brazil Moving to Extend Conflict BUENOS AIRES, Dec, 14—U. S. cattlemen arriving here from the Gran Chaco region report casualties appallingly high in the undeclared war raging between Bolivia and Par- aguay. At least 30,000 men have been killed during the past seven months! ef the conflict, according to admis- sions from both Paraguayan and Bo- livian sources. The Paraguayan foss- es are reported at 12,000, with those of Bolivia at 18,000. All available buildings in Para-..| guay have been turned into hos- pitals filled with badly wounded soldiers. Mass hostility against the war adventure is reported growing in both countries. The Bolivian forces who have been | on the defensive during the past seven | months have been enabled to take | the offensive within the past week as | a result of vast supplies of munitions | and tanks, received from the United | | States. Yesterday in a fierce six- hour battle they recaptured the key | fort of Plantanillos from the Para- | guayans. The recapture of Pantan- | illos is believed to be the beginning | of a general Bolivian offensive under the direction of Gen. Hans Kundt, German officer. It is generally in- terpreted as a turning point in the war which previously has been going against Paraguay. ‘The «war now threatens to in- clude at least two other South Am- erican states, It is generally be- lieved here that the British-dom- inated Argentine Government will not stand by and permit the defeat of Paraguay. Argentina already has strong forces on the border. Should Argentina enter the war to aid Paraguay, it is expected that the present provisional govertment of Brazil, under U. S. influc.cc, will go to the aid of Bolivia, Brazil is already moving to enter the undeclared war-between Peru and | Colombia, on the side of the Co- Jombian puppets of U. S. imperialism. Brazilian warships and troops ar- rived yesterday at the Peruvian fron- | tier. The Brazilian Army has begun installation of cannons at the border fort of Tavatinga. The government is also mounting guns on all ships on the upper Amazon. . The govern- ment of Ecuador has also mobilized troops on the Peruvian border. The Chilean government is maneuvering to enter the war on the side of Co- lombia. Both Colombia and Peru are con- tinuing to rush troops to the Putu- mayo region. Many. sharp clases have occurred during the past weeks. Peruvian gunboats are reported en- gaged in the transportation of troops on the upper Amazon. NATIONAL BUR STATEMENT | STARVATION ON THE | WORKER CORRESPONDENCE | JOB AS WELL AS OFF NEW MACHINE | PUTS WORKERS OUT ON STREET 75 to 100 Lose Jobs in Steel Mill SPARROWS POINT, Md.—In the tin mill.at the Bethlehem Steel Com- pany plant here, another “new wrinkle,” called a normatizer is being built in order to save time and mo- ney for the company. This means unemployment for 75 to 100 Negro and white workers—with no prospect to ever find a job. : This is called “industrial progress” —but I want to ask “is it human progress?”, where the workers are no longer given a chance to live? What is the remedy for this con- dition? —A Hot Mill Worker. Aas Editor's Note:—This new NORM- ALIZER will mean starvation for many over on the cold roll side. Though you work on the hot mill, you must try to get a few cold roll men together to organize all of them to fight against being laid off. Through organization of a workers’, committee, representing all the vari- | ous departments in the plant, it is possible to win a_ shorter working day without Ioss of pay, or to push the fight for unemployment insur- ance at the expense of the Bethle- hem Steel and the U. S, Gevernment. For further information on this, get in touch with-the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union, at 20 S. Lloyd St., Baltimore, Md. Of course, the only way such con- ditions can be done away with alto- gether is by fighting for a workers’ and farmers’ government as in the Soviet Union. Here, when a labor sav- ing device is installed, the workers have their hours reduced without loss of pay instead of part of them be- ing fired. \Ware-Cnt Wakes Un Next Step in Fight of _ Hunger March (CONTINUED FROM. PAGE ONE) steps that the demands presented to the United States Congress come to an open hearing. VII. Participants In Hunger March. | The 3,000 Hunger Marchers were authorized by the conference to be active organizers of the Unemployed Councils in their city. The local and district unemployed councils must not fail immediately to call the marchers together ta give them an analysis of the march and to assign them definitely to work. The district must see to it that these comrades are released from every other task, so that they can become organizers of the unemployed movement. The local and district unemployed councils are to work out a system of maintaining these comrades through collections, meetings, affairs, etc. The National Office is to remain in regular contact with the 3,000 marchers to stimulate them and re- ceive reports of their activities. VIII. Registration. During the local struggles and in the mobilization for them there must, be carried on the widest campaign to register supporters for the Un- employed Council through the cards now being issued by the National Committee and of which each local council should have an adequate supply. They can be ordered at the rate of $1. per hundred (cash in ad- vance) from Room 436, 80 E. 11th St., New York City, State Hunger Marches are under way in California on Jan. 10, in the state of Washington on Jan. 9, these to be agin by county marches. Local marches are being organized in the various industrial towns of Massachusetts and New Jersey. No district or city should fai] now to organize the broadest struggle] possible on the basis of activities in the neighborhoods, against evictions, for relief, free food for the children, and in the process we must build up pris and neighborhood committees and unemployed councils, espec: in the small towns that were ee trated in the preparations for the Washington National Hunger March, or through which the column passed. Local struggles must reach the worl ers organized ixito other unemployed organizations, in the unions both of the T. U. U. L. and A. F. of L. and farternal organizations to bring them into struggle. This alone will be the guarantee not only of obtaining local relief but will exert sufficient pressure to force the U.S. Congress to pass the bill for cash winter relief and unemployment insurance. unnecessary.” Rackword Worker: He Joins the Left Wing NEW YORK.—This is how Al the Nailer turned to be a “Red”. It's the second year that Al and I work in the same fur shop. There is a big change in him since a year ago. ie {s a young man and supports his old father and mother. His am- pition was to become rich some day. He read the “Daily News” and was mainly interested in ball games, horse races and all the other attrac- tions of that sheet. Al discussed with the left wingers his ideas of going into business and becoming “big” as this is a free coun- try. All you got to have is ambi- tion and Al had a lot of it. The left wing workers told. him that he may exnect a wage-cut or be out of a job as soon as the season {s over. He laughed, There were often discusslons in the shop where the boss would also take part. Al always aided with the boss when he attacked the left wing union or Soviet Russia, as Al's am- bition was to become a boss’ him~ self. But the season in the fur trade does not last very long and the slow season was approaching. When @ wage-cut was given to all the work- ers in the shop, including Al, he gave up the idea of going into business as he was still in debt from the previous slow period. He began to realize that his ambition to become rich was a nice fantasy. He no longer agreed with the boss in the discussion. He understood that his interests were different from the boss; he had to join the union to help fight against the wage cut on being fired. ‘The boss made more profits after this year. He fixed up a nice home for himself and bought a car. Al knew that he did not derive his pro- fits from his own labor. At the ad- yiee of\a shop mate, Al began to read the “Daily Worker.” He found answers on many questions that were puzzling him. He went to the Work- ers Book Shop and purchased many pamphlets on various subjects, He attended meetings called by the Communist Party. He became a class conscious worker. He argues differ- ently now than he did a year ago. He is agitating for the left wingers, he gives away the “Daily. Worker” when he is through reading it. Al brought a friend to the last Madison Square Garden Rally with whom he wants to share his new ideas. He bought a lot of literature that was sold in the Garden, He gave it to his friend as he had read it already. The other workers in the shop welcome the change in Al and see in him a future fighter for his class, —Aralk. “The struggle against militarism must not be postponed until the moment when war breaks out, Then itwill be too late.

Md. — I’ve been reading the “Brevities,” a rot~ ten tabloid sheet here. At first they started out like regular dare-devils. Several weeks ago they published a story about the Bethlehem Steel Co. plant here that happened last spring. Since that time they have not even let out a peep in regard to the steel mill. They claim they are friends of the working people. They have to show me (for that is the state I'm from), “BreVities,” you are just a yellow Sheet.

Editor's Note: — This worker is rightly indignant about the yellow tabloids, but we can expect nothing better from capitalist owned sheets whose very business it is to detract the interests of the workers from their own problems, by playing up sex stories and other lurid scandals in as sensational a manner as pos- sible, This worker should do his hest to get wide circulation of workers’ papers among the steel workers there. The Union paper is “The Stecl and Metal Worker,” and the paper car- | rying news of the conditions and struggles of all the workers through- out the country is the Daily Worker. Women Forced to Support Families on $10 Per Week FREEHOLD, N.
