The council is an executive body of twenty-one members appoint- ed and recalled at will by the pre- sident. This state of affairs has en- abled the American military occupa- tion to rule without the trouble of a parliamentary body which afforded expression to native leaders bitterly opposed to American domination. Borns refusal to call elections springs from the fact that the legis- lature, when convened, will choose Haiti’s new president. Since 1917 the president has been elected by the American-controlled council of state. It was this executive body which elected Borno in 1922. His election was followed by mass demonstrations organized by the Union Patriotique d' Haiti (a nationalist organization) and by the Haitian Federation of La- bor. Ak a result the presidents of both organizations \were arrested by the American military authorities. Kellogg Aids Tyranny Borno’s action last week did not come unexpectedly.

One of the publicity features of the International Labor Defense demonstrations that hurt Hun- =" gary’s interests most was the streaming of the fact*that the Horthy govern- CONSERVATIVE ADVOCATES OF HIGH TARIFF AGAINST U. S. SWEPT INTO POWER IN CANADIAN LANDSLIDE (Special to The Daily Worker) OTTAWA, Ontario, Oct. 30.—Yesterday’s election returns, altho partially complete, show unmistakeably that the W. L. MacKenzie-King government ‘has been defeated and that the conservative party, led by Arthur Meighen, ex-premier of Canada, is swept into power. This means a Canadian policy of a high tariff barrier against the United States, as against the liberal demands for a. low tariff. Returns are only semi-official; but they are such as to have forced the resignation of the King government.

J. Pickets By Worker Correspondent. NORTH BERGEN, N. J., Oct. 30.— Threats of the Hillcrest Silk Co. to move their plant to North Carolina show how effective the strike of the loom-workers has become. This is a favorite fiction of the company when hey are beaten and was originated ‘years. ago, according to the oldtimers among the strikers. They laughed at this fake propaganda. Strikers are determined to maintain the strike 100 per cent, with each one assigned to regular picket duty. They refuse to accept a wage cut and will not submit to an increase of the num- ber of looms which each worker op- erates. The strikers cheered heartily when it was announced that $12.00 had been received from the Armenian branch of the Workers Party. Kills Self to Escape Jail.

Forty Laid Off; B. & O.“ Plan Bares Its Fangs By SANDE (By Worker Correspondent) BRADDOCK, Pa., Oct. 30—The first shop to introduce the notorious “B. and O.“ class-collaboration plan in the United States, the Glencoe, Pa. rail- road shop, today posted up notices in- formigg its employes that on Monday, Nov. 2, seventeen machinists and twenty-three helpers would be laid off. When “Big Bill” Johnston’s scheme was started, it will be remembered, its so-called purpose was to guarantee workers steady employment and bet- ter conditions. Well, the “benefits” are now being reaped in the form of a Play-off. And there are indications that in the near future more machin- ists are to be force out into the ever- growing army of the jobless.
