 eventual armed uprising, the foreign office note states the British position.
 'sHis majesty's government is un. able to allow this propaganda and must regard it as 8 direct inter. ference from the outside in British domestic affairs"
 Pointing to the connection between the communist international and the Soviet, the note says it is impossible to maintain diplomatic relations while a body organfcally ,conpected with one government encourages, even orders, subjects of the other government to blot and plan revolutions for its over throw"
 -Zinoviey's letter scolds the British communists because their last reports indicate weak propaganda among Brit ish sailors and soldiers, although ad- mitting the wisdom of seeking to re- cruit quality rather than quantity.
 Bourgeois governments are preparing for another war, Zinoviev declares, and he points out that adequate organiza- tions among soldiers, sailors and work CTS would make it possible to paralyze all military preparations and start turning the imperialistic war into class war"
 Impetus is given liberal and con- servative charges that Macdonald was forced into an agreement to the Soviet treaty by a paragraph in the letter which credits the British proletariat with compelling agreement when the treaty negotiations almost ended in deadlock. ''The foreign policy of the labor party is an inferior copy o1 Curzon's policy" the letter says.

UNIFORMED MEN REAP BENEFITS
 OF s COST FEE
New $5 Pay Boost To Come From Law
 ViOlatOrs

Birmingham policemen and firemer will get an additional pay raise of .S5 beginning November l, the city commits sion decided after a conference with committees representing both depart ments and a number of leading busi ness men Friday. Levying of a cost charge of s upon all persons convicted in police court will produce the needed revenue.
 This means that the uniformed mer next year will get $15 per month in ad' dition to their present salaries. A flat $10 increase was provided for them IT the 1925 budget, just completed.
 Judge Horace Wilkinson, Joseph H Loveman. Fred M. Jackson, Donald Conner, J. L. Yancey, I, c. Beatty aiid M. B. Reeves urged the commission to grant the additional S5 incl ease. They said the men were finding, it hard tt live on their present pay, and that tht forces who protect life and property in Birmingham shouldEnQt be made tC suffer.
 0. c. McClurkin, W. w Dean, V 4. Chambers and J. 0. Ballard repre- sented the uniformed men. To Draw Ordinance
 After lengthy discussion, the commls sion instructed City Attorney W. J Wynn to draw an ordinance providinS for the collection of cost fee of $S and have it ready for adoption Tues day. This fee will be charged by th' recorder, beginning November 1. Judg, Wilkinson, of the civil service board estimated that $101 900 a. year in ad ditional revenue will result from thu measure. As only small part will b' needed for the additional salary in crease, the commission plans to spenC some of the surplus in increasing thu size of both departments.
 No person who faces the recorder and is convicted can escape hereafter 1 without paying at least $4 into thu city coffers, under the ordinance agreed | on.
 Autoists who are. usually fined $1 will have to pay $4, and the cost fee 0 $3 will be added to all fines imposed.
 Commission members and some O the speakers at Friday'e conference thought the cost fee might have tn tendency to curtail the number of traf fic violations.

(Coptiuued from page ORe)

(C0ntinued from page Oh0l from two railway publications which attacked the La Toilette government ownership proposal.
 "The railroad has a quite and proper right in discussing the position or candidate" Atterhury said, t''but l. do not believe that we should directly ad- vocate the candidacy of any particular candidate"
 Denies Protests
 Atterbury said as far as he knew the "educatfonsl campaign" carried on through diner menu cars was the only activity of the railroad in the present campaign. He said there had been no protest from stockholders over the cam paign of the railroad against La Fol lette.
 "If we explained it to a complaining stockholder I think we would get hls thanks" the railroad official said.
 Suppose a stockholder who supports Senator La Toilette protested? Unter- myer asked.
 He would be given the "same courte- ous treatment" Atterbury answered.
 George w. SlmOnS, wee plosluohs of the Mechanics and Metals bank Of New York, who followed Atterbury on the stand, testified that he had raised $217 through letters sent out by him as chairman of the bankers commit tee of the republican national commit tee.
 "Is that all?' Borah asked.
 "Yes, Sir" Simons replied, adding that he was delegated to obtain small contributions.
 To Call Publishers
 The committee decided Friday to subpoena officials of the Literary Digest magazine, to question them con corning the presidential poll now being conducted, which has been criticized by democrats. A subpoena will also be is- sued for Cyrus H. K. Curtis, publisher of the Saturday Evening Post.
 Untermyer submitted to the commit tee republican advertisements from the Saturday Evening Post, Literary Digest and other publications to bear out his contention that far more money is being spent on behalf of the republican campaign than the books of the na- tional organization will show.

fIAaSed Wise to Tho Age-HefaluJ
 DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. A.-At- Norney General Stone in his first cam paiEn speech for President Coolidge as- uailed the proposal of Senator La Fol lette for review of supreme court de c3xions by congress on declaring that sit Is a complete departure from all the fundamental principles embodied in the Constitution and in its practical effect amounts to abolition of constitutional government in the United States"
 In his address here Friday night Stone said that "the effect of this proposal would be to make one branch of the government, congress, supreme over each of the others" ~
 "Oyer-riding procurement of the supreme court, congress may destroy, even to the last vestige, all the powers now residing in the juricilry and in the executive" he declared. 'The con- stitutional authority, which enables the President to resist the encroachment of the legislative branch of the government on which the people of this country have repeatedly relied with confidence, becomes as nothing"
 Limits Self Government
 ~In carrying out it's political program congress tends to. encroach upon local self-goyernment," Stone declared. With such a pro ion incorporated into the Constitute the President upon this type of leg.A ation would be removed and thera uld begin the breaking flown of Ioeal self-government in the several states"
 I've woulr have created in congress $ contrad2ed political organization not InIike that of the Roman empire, where yhs centr,I government, at first repub- fran and lstcr imperial in form, drew 10 itself Che ctual regulation and con eyol of everv function of local govern 4nent with. the empire"
 'It would certainly be absurd" Stone said, ''at the time when the world is crying out for an international court to settle controversies between indepen- dent foreign sovereignties, for us to abandon the like principles with respect to our two domestic sovereignties which has now been in successful Oper- ation for upwards of one hundred and thirty-five years"
 Election To Congress
 Of the developments in the campaign, the attorney general declared that "as we approach the end of the campaign, it is becoming evident to all that the paramount issue to be settled at the polls is whether the people of the United States are to elect Calvin Coolidge presi- dent or whether the election is to be controlled by the action of a minority party" The purpose of Senator La Toilette, he said, is to show the election into congress.
