hiIt. A recent boycott against the yes
sells Of the Ward Line lasted just one
day. Two vessels, the Esperanto and
the Mexico, were in port. The com
pany had been refusing to indemnify
several workers who had been discharg-
led because Of injuries suffered in ser
vice. Not hand was lifted to unload

The same noon representatives OF
the workers and the company, toge-
ther with an official Of the department
of commerce and industry, met to con-
slider the claims. As a result the Ward
Line will pay Liandro Rios w pesos

with medical expenses and an invalid
chair; the same amount for one year
to Jose Martinez and will pay sum to
be determined later to the family Of an

A CONTEMPTIBLE TOOL

(By The Federated Pre.s)

tBy The Federated Press)
Washington. In mercilessIy ex-
act examination Of the position and re-
cord Of Henry Cabot Lodge, for near
| " 30 years senator from Massachusetts.
Lynn Haines, in the current SearchIight
leaves the aged leader Of the Repub-
lican old guard in congress nothing DE-
which to be proud.
He goes further, however, than To-
suggest to the voters Of Massachusetts,
that they replace Lodge withta better
man; he proceeds TO give the record
Of William E. Borah. Idaho, who viii
become chairman Of the senate foreign
relations committee if Lodge is beaten
this year. He points out that the re-
moval of Lodge even though an
equally weak and reactionary person
be sent from the Bay state in his stead,
will serve the nation by bringing
Borah, a real statesman, into COM
handing position in the country's for
eign affairs This comparison of the
records of two men from widely separ~
ate sections, in order to make the Mas
sachusetts voters realize the signifi-
icance of their vote in the coming pri-
mary, ushers in a new form of CAM
paign against the old guard.
Lodge is described as being the MAJ
jority leader solely by virtue Of senior
ity-moving up from place to place on
the important committees as other sem
ators die or are defeated, and regard
less of the mans own ability or force
of character.
He remarks that for some years
Lodge did belong to triumvirate
Penrose, Smoot, and himself-in which
Penrose furnished the brains, the do
nninant will and the reputation for POI
litical leadership When Penrose died.
Lodge and Smoot were quickly discard
ed for younger men, who now possess
all the substance cf power.
After a detailed recital of Lodges
votes and activities during three de-
cades, the report sums up:
These official facts disclose Lodge
as a special interest senator. Not occa-
but consistently, has he voted
for special privilege, in measures per-
tanning TO taxation, public utilities and
monopolies of every kind. For 'regu-
larity," extreme partisanship and ma
chine methods, his reaotionarism is ex-
ceeded by that Of no other senator.
He occupies the position, while lacking
the capacities and powers of boss.
'Borah is everything that Lodge is
not. . : $ Borah is undoubtedly the abb
lest debater in the senate. This dis
tinction would be based upon superior
capacity in every vital requirement.
