LILLE, France, July 25.-Whether

TO identify itself with forces of the
"Social Revolution" as represented by
the Third (Moscow) Internationale, is
the chief question the French Fedora
tion of Labor will be called upon to
decide at it's annual convention which
opened here today.
While considerable temporary dis
sension by one faction or another Is
expected on almost every question
scheduled for consideration, the con-
vention is virtually certain to adjourn
in harmony, for the communist mem

meeting and passed resolutions pledg'
ing complete unity with French trade
unionism, although deciding not to
break away entirely from Bolshevist
influence
The Federation of Metal Workers
affiliated with the French Federation
of Labor, last week went on record
by a majority of one vote as favorins
adhesion to the Moscow party, but
later elected four syndicalist secre
taries despite strenuous efforts made

TO PROMOTE
DISARMAMENT MOVE

Definite steps by yearly meeting
delegates at the Young Friends confer
ence are expected to be taken Mon
day night relative to a plan by which
the International movement for dis
armament can be promoted.
Following the lecture Monday morn
ing by Frederick J. Libby, the confer
ence held a forum with Disarmament"
as the subject. The discussion cen
tered about the proposition for Friends
to organize a disarmament council to
work among all people, whether
Friends or not.
Frederick Libby stated at the forum
that he believed fully nine-tenths of
the people of the world were ready
and anxious for a disarmament pro-
gram. They wish to be relieved from
the burdens of war preparations and
actual war, according to the opinion
of Mr.. Libby. He has but recently
returned from extensive travelling as
the Friends commissioner to Europe.
According to the plan discussed, the
disarmament council would be similar
to the anti-prohibition organization.
The council would exist solely for the
purpose of effecting disarmament
Young Friends present at the forum
were encouraged to educate them
selves on the subject and be prepared
to give public talks in favor of dis
armament

BORDER GUARD FAILS
TO stop THOUSANDS
FROM LEAVING RUSSIA
CBy Associated Press)

WARSAW. July 2J.-Bolshevik sol
diers guard the Russian border and
only certain persons are given per-
mission to leave the country, yet by
bribery and other means, great num-
bers of persons are crossing into adj
jacent countries each night.
Polish government officials have es-
timated that about $4,000 have been
entering Poland from Russia every
month, despite efforts of the Polish
authorities to keep them out. Only
very small percentage of these peo-
pie carry the proper credentials from
the Bolsheviki.
A recent arrival in Warsaw from
Russia was Ralph Rimar, formerly an
art student in Detroit and Charleston,
w. Va, who left America, via Canada,
early in January of this year. with 700
other Russians Rimar went to the
United States eight years ago from
part of Russia which is now included
within the Polish republic, where his
parents reside.
All Want to Return.
Rimar says that when he last saw
the emigrants whom he had accom-
panied to Russia all had had enough!
of the Bolsheviki regime and wished
that they were back in the states.
Rimar was in Russia three months
visiting Petrograd, Moscow, Kiev ano
other cities and towns. Conditions
generally, he said, were gradually be
coming worse everywhere. He Is
eager to return to the United States
but without credentials, is unable tt
get a passport.
Rimar says he went to Russia tt
satisfy his curiosity and for fun
but that he didn't have any pleasure
at all, and that his curiosity is thor
lsugh1y satisfied. He was arrested five
| times, went without a square meal TO
| II weeks and that if he is ever abl'
to get back to the United States h
will stay there for all time.

INDIANA Will HOLD new HEARING ON
SALE OF FINANCE CORPORATION STOCK

the voting, at least as so far provided,
has been sold to the p regional direc-
tors, and thus far mostly remains un-
paid for, is the claim. With reference
to this fact, one man, who has dug
into the matter, says:
1T is understood that the action OF
the securities commission in denying
a license was decided largely because
of its feeling that the interests of the
purchasers of preferred stock in the
corporation could not properly be con.
served 1t is believed Article of the
bylaws of the Farmers Finance Cor
poration contains the provisions which
great influenced the commission
This article provides that the affairs
of the corporation shall be managed
by it's directors, who shall be subscrib
ers for preferred stock. 1t is under
stood that only holders of common
stock have voting power and there
fore have a voice in selection of di
rectors. 1t is believed Article makes
it possible for the directors to re-elect
themselves indefinitely"
Officers Salaries Omitted
The blank spaces for the writing II
of the salaries to be paid officers were
not filled in, and this fact evidently
did not suit the commission and prob
ably was one factor influencing theil
decision.
The request for a license gave the
names of II states in which like appli
cation has been or will be made. Tht
matter is likely to be gone over again
not only in Indiana, but in all state;
where licenses have been or may b.
denied.
