try, immediately professed to see ir the Coolidge message for the first
 time an opportunity by which the Soviets might achieve their long
 sought goal of relations with the United States. Immediately follow ing Senator Borah's well-timed sug- gestion Commissar Tchicherin ad- dressed his note to President Coolidge asking for recognitions based on

 Senator Borah and Bolshevist Tchicherin both understand perfectly that any compromise with the Soviet terrorism IS victory for the Soviets Outlaws and brigands commonly act upon that principle. They also under stand that on fundamentals the So- viets cannot ompromise-unless with the deliberate intention of violating their agreement. The world has had enough of scraps of paper

Its constitution, it's official publica- tiors, the speeches of its chief of fcials are shot through with this pri- mary intention.

 Washington, D. C., Dec 28.-Rep- resentatives of American trade unions and members of unions engaged in transport work at border ports, have been asked by President Samuel Com pers of the American Federation of Labor to assist the United States government in the detection of gun running and smuggling of illicit sup plies to the forces of the rebellion under de la Huerta in Mexico.
 I have asked the men of our movement" Mir Gompers said today, "to be vigilant and to observe and re- port violations of international law the export of munitions of war to those in rebellion against friendly government. I have asked that labor men in border ports and in sea ports from which goods may be shipped il- legally to Mexican rebels report to the United States district attorney in each case in the locality where illegal operations are observed.
 Our trade unionists are not off cers of the law, nor do 1 want them to be, but they handle goods in ship ment and may come by information helpful to the cause of democracy i'll Mexico-information of violation of international law and of our laws on smuggling and illegal support of re. bellion. What 1 asked is that they help in bringing truth to light.
 "I have every confidence in the de- sire of our government to observe its obligations in the strictest possible government can detect and stop all smuggling. It would not be possible to engage enough men i'll that work. Rum smuggling is proof of the truth of my statement.
 'FWe shall place in the hands Of the proper government officials all information received and we do not want information for any other pur- pose.
 "We have watched the course of events in Mexico throughout the course of the revolutionary move ment which began with hte uprising against Diaz resulting in his over throw. Gradually but surely the strength of the cause of human free dom and democracy has grown. Grad ually it has organized its forces. Gradually constructive statesmanship has been developed. The people have established certain great rights. They have, to a large degree, thrown oil the yoke. Under ,Diaz there was slav- cry, for the peonage system was noth- ing less. Today there is freedom.

 Another hopeful sign of the times is the ever increasing knowledge our members are acquiring as to the power they can wield in the economic field. It is typihed by the country wide slogan, Spend Union Earned Money to Employ 1nly Union Work ers," as this is the most effective method to reach our enemies through their pockets.

CONSUMERS HIT BY BIG PROFITS
 IN FOODSTUFFS
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
 New York, Dec. 28.-Big profits
 made in food selling and handling, and the wide "spread" between the price received by the producr of food stuffs and the cost to the consumer, are emphasized by Benjamin F. Yoaku1n, who was for many years chairman of the board of directors of the St. Louis and San Francisco rail road.
 MT. Yoakum is studying the costs of distributing food and other farm products and his conclusions have been given in several articles in the New York Times and The Nations Business. He points out, as a result of his investigations covering two years, that the potato farmer gets but a third of what the city consumer pays the retailer. The average farm price for potatoes was 56 cents per bushel, whereas the consumer paid an average of $2 bushel. Some of the points he makes are:
 From survey made by the Blu reau of Markets in New York City, with a corps of I25 market inspec- tors, it was found that the retailers were making 30 to 5oB profit on
 
 Hartford, Connecticut, with a pop ulation of I38,ooo has 1000 food deal CTS or 5000 food-dealer population, which means that every 28 people in Hartford support one member of the family of a food-dealer (not to men ton his employes)."
 There are about 3,7o3,ooo food dealers engaged in selling foodstuffs of every kind produced by the 6,5oo,- 900 farm families in the country"
 This means that there IS one family supported by selling the food pro- duced by about every two farm fam lilies in the United States. Although these figures would be changed slightly is the size of the families could be figured more exactly and the volume of exports and imports of food handled by the dealers could be taken into account, nevertheless MT. Yoakum uses the most reliable data as yet available. He contends in an article in The Nations Business "that when the business interests of the country realize that it is costing $2 to distribute foodstuffs, including cost, profits, commissions, etc, to each $1 paid the producer they will realize that 1t is of paramount importance to their business and the continuation of the country's prosperity that they throw their influence and force. to- wards cooperative work with the farmers, that they may carry on their business with profit to themselves"
 Mr. Yoakum recommends the CO., operative organization of farmers to sell their products and declares that "the next big thing of national inn portance is to push cooperative con sumers' associations in large con suming centers." He predicts too that "Producers' and consumers CO., operative associations will become na- tion-wide and will exert an influence which will carry power sufficiently strong to force the recognition they desire, eliminating the enormous burden that the farmers and con- sumers are compelled to carry"

AMNESTY IS GRANTED
 31 WAR PRISONERS

Washington, Dec. 21.-President Coolidge has ended the agitation for release of federal war prisoners by granting amnesty to the remaining 3I. Fines imposed are remitted.
 Recently the President appointed a committee, consisting of former Sec retary of War Baker, General J. c. Harbord, retired, and Bishop Charles H. Brent, to consider these. cases. The committees report was not made pub lie, but it is claimed that General liar bord declined to join his associates in recommending that unconditional re- lease be recommended. The President merely approved the majority report of the committed
 Agitation for the release of these prisoners has been supported by citi- zens in all walks of life. The Ameri- can Federation of Labor declared that further confinement of the war pris- oners serves no useful purpose, and President Gompers made personal ap- peals and headed delegations urging release. The United States is the last country to release its war prisoners.

comes to the Palace Theatre on Sunday matinee for two days. It is Brothers Under the Skin," another of Goldwyn's Big Twenty; and judging from advance reports will be on an equally high plane with the productions that have preceded it.
 The domestic misadventures of two young married couples and the husbands similar solution of their problems furnishes the plot of the story. One couple lives in a Bronx fiat. the other in a Riverside Drive apartment. Both husbands are em- ployed by the same firm, in capacities as widely different as their salaries --one a manager, the other a humble shipping clerk. But each encounters the same situation at home-a sweet, lovable wife. whose chief talent seems to be spending her husbands salary and more. 4s
 E. Mason Hopper directed the pie ture, which is said to be one of the best things he has done. And Hop per, it may be remembered. was re- sponsible for Dangerous Curve Ahead" which was masterpiece of directorial skill!
 Brothers Under the Skin" has no one star; it is all stars. Consider these names: Helene Chadwick, Claire Windsor, Mae Busch, Norman Kerry and Pat O'Malley. Surely a cast to be regarded with respect. AS the shipping clerks wife Helene Chadwick is said to duplicate the sue cess she achieved in Curve Ahead and other big Goldyn productions. Claire Windsor, who was leading woman in Grand Larceny" and who will be seen in Marshall Neilan's next production, "The Strangers Ban quet," is the other wife. Pat O'Mal- ley is seen as the shipping clerk and Norman Kerry as the manager.

A further drop in the price of gaso fine of one cent was announced to, day by J. D. Helps. Standard oil representative. The price to gas boats is now 161a cents a gallon.
 In the last mail from the states, MT. Helps received the following in formation regarding "when the price of "gas' goes down or up:
 When the price of gas goes down, or up. you wonder why Every now and then you have observed a change in the price of gasoline. It has gone down, or up. For the last three years the changes-there have been six of them during this period have all been downward No doubt you wonder why the change. especial ly if the price goes up. One day a gallon of gas costs a certain mum Der of cents-the next day it is more, or less. Naturally you wonder why.
 Perhaps you think that the Pres ident of the Standard Oil Compa.s y simply says to his Board of Direc- tors:
 Well, let's raise the price of gasoline this morning.
 Not so. :, No man. nor group of men, no company, nor group of com panies. can control the price of gaso- line, nor of any other commodity in general use This is what makes the price of gas go up and down: when there is plentiful supply of gaso- line. the price of gasoline drops. When there is an Insufficient supply of gasoline. the price ascends. This Is not theory It is fact. It Is his tory, too, of gasoline and of every commodity in the world as far back as history goes.
