L.A. Guild Wins
Pay Increases

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.— (FP) .—
Blanket pay increases on four of
Los Angeles’ five metropolitan
dailies are hailed as a major vic-
conservative Los Angeles Times,
paper Guild, which has obtained
nearly 100 members in its four
months of existence. Only the
conservative Los Anglese Times,
owned by Harry Chandler, is hold-
ing out.

Intended as a blow to strie down
the Los Angeles guild in its in-
fancy, the new salary schedules
have actually acted as a boomerang
for local publishers. Uneven salary
spreads have created dissatisfac-
tion among editorial workers, who
look to the guild te iron out
inequalities.

‘GYPSIES’ HELD
ANOTHER WEEK

“Gypsies,’”’ the unusual picturiza-
tion of Russian Gypsy life, now
playine at the Little Theatre, GCom-
mercial and Georgia, with three
shows daily, will be held over for
another weék-

The picture describes realistically
how the Soviet sovernment solved
the gigantic problem of winning
these perennial wanderers to settle-
ment on the land.

Strange Gypsy customs developed

in centuries of wandering create
novel scenes in the picture. Music
and dancing, inseparable from

Gypsy life, are an inseparable part
of the film.

Lala Chernaya, exotic star of the
Moscow Gypsy Theatre, plays the
leading feminine role. Alexander
Granach, formerly of the Reinhardt
Theatre, Berlin, plays the Gypsy.
chief. There are a number of other
Gypsy players in the cast besides
Miss Chernaya. 5

This picture will not be shown
again in Vancouver until next fall.

City Children
To Aid Spain

A series of children’s concerts is
being arranged to raise funds for
the Canadian medical unit under
Dr. Bethune now with government
forces on the Madrid front. Stressed
is the fact that money raised will

for Spanish children, victims of
Fascist air attacks.

First of these concerts will be
held tonight (Friday) at 8 p.m.,
MeDoenald School, UHastings at
Victoria. Others are “planned at
Community Hall, Capitol Hill,
Burnaby, and Victoria Road Com-
munity Halil.

Children participating represent
many cultural groups and mass or-
ganizations.

RUBBER UNIONS
SUPPORT STRIKE

AKRON, Jan. 15.—{(FP)—Solidar-
ity between rubber workers and auto
and maritime strikers has been
pledged at Akron by Pres. S. H.
Dalrymple of the United Rubber
Workers of America, who urged all
unions to donate to strike funds.

Local 5, Goodrich. gave $500 from
the union treasury, and collected
25c¢ from 1,000 workers in the shop
for maritime strikers. Other unions
were asked to follow the example.

On the west coast, the Pacific
Rubber Co. has closed because
strikers refused to handle hot cargo,
rubber.

Mexican Labor Issues
Warning To Trotsky

Disruptive Activities In-
tolerable, Says
Federation

MEXICO CrryYy. Jan: 15.——if
erantinge of asylum in Mexico to
Leon Trotsky tends to create dif-
ferences within the working class
and place obstacles in the path of a
united front of the people, then his
presence will be considered unde-
sirable, declares the Confederation
of Mexican Workers (CCTM), in a

SS5
statement just released, adding that
the organization expects the gov-
emment to take measures neces-
sary to prevent such development.

“Teon Trotsky, says the CIM, is
the leader of an international
political organization. As such,
wherever he lives, he will be obliged
to carry on activities pertaining to
his position.

“This program (Lrotsky’s) is op-
posed to that of the CTM, which
represents the ereat majority of
the Mexican working class. Trotsky
and his followers uphold the self-
sufficiency of the working class and
oppose all temporary alliance of the
proletariat with the other sectors
of the population and with demo-
eratic governments for the purpose
of preventing the advance of fascism
and reaction.

CIM For Popular Front

“The CYM, on the contrary,
woted at its Second National Coun-
ceil to create a Mexican Popular
Front among representative political
and peasant sectors of the country,
inviting elements of the middle
class, the petty bourgeoisie, and
the students to adhere to this plat-
form. This Popular Front proposes
to support the progressive acts of
the Cardenas government.

“In this hour when the entire
world finds itself faced with fascism
everything which tends to weaken
the Popular Front against conserva-
tive forces is suicidal.

“Consequently, if Trotsky’s pres-
ence in Mexico operates to intensify
the activities of his group of fol-
lowers who preach immediate armed
insurrection and the establishments
of the dictatorship of the proletariat
in complete defiance of the charac-
teristics of this historic period. then
the @C@M will consider his presence
here as undesirable.”

TRIPOLIAN JEWS
FLOGGED, JAILED

PARIS, Jan. 15.—Under orders of
Marshal Italo Balbo, Jews living in
Tripoli, Italian possession, have
been flogged.

Balbo issued an order that all
shops were to remain open each
week day except Sunday, admitted-
ly aimed at Jewish shop keepers
With the object of forcing them
from the new quarter of the city
back into the old city. Some Jewish

shopkeepers rebelled at this dis-
crimination, and as a result, two
Jews were publicly flogged in the

market place. A third was sentenced
to three months in prison instead
of flogging.

Attempts of fascist newspapers in
Italy to stir up anti-semitism have
failed thus far.

The Jewish population of Libya
is 24,000, more than half of them
in the scity of Tripoli itself. Italian
residents in Tripoli number only
21,000.

MODESTO CASE
INVESTIGATED

Confession Throws New
Light on Frame-Up
Charges

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15—San
Francisco’s Mayor Angelo Rossi and
three State officials, including Gov.
Frank F. Merriam, have launched
an investigation of the Standard Oil
Modesto frameup.

The new investigation comes as
the result of a confession by James
Serudder, whose perjury doomed
eight maritime union men to prison
in 1935 on framed charges of mali-
cious possession of dynamite:

In Los Angeles last November,
Serudder confessed he lied at the
instigation of District Attorney
Leslie Cleary of Stanislaus County,
and Glenn Devore, special Standard
Oil prosecutor. ,

Mayor Rossi is investigatine=
Serudder’s admission that he was
hired as a Standard Oil stool-pigeon
through three San Francisco police
department officials.

State Attorney-General WU. 8.
Webb is being asked to have the
district attorney indicted for sub-
Ordination of perjury. Governor
Merriam is investigating with a
view to pardoning the five men still
in prison.

Labor School
Wants Probe

NEW YORE, Jan. 15.—(P)—
“The aim of Commonwealth College
is to lift labor standards in the
South so that its cheap labor will
not be a menace to the wage earners
and industries of the north: to
raise the living conditions of the
miserable sSharecroppers and to in-
crease their purchasing power.”’

Accompanying this message with
charges that constant threats and
a campaign of intimidation are be-
ing directed against Commonwealth,
progressive labor school at Mena,
Ark., the Committee on Resident
Labor Colleges has telegraphed a

request to the lLalWollette civil
liberties committee to conduct an
inquiry into conditions in Polk

County, Ark.

Planters and other reactionary in-
terests are attempting to stir up
violence against the school and ta
introduce legislation to prevent its
operation in Arkansas.

“Commonwealth is carrying
the same frontier work that Bereu
College in Kentucky carried on in
Slavery days,” says the message.
“Members of the faculty are show-
ing the same sort of heroism—sery-
ing without compensation and often
without even sufficient food, while
being at the same time subjected
to every sort of baseless charge.’
