EMPLOYERS AND WORKERS
 STILL REMAIN AT ODDS
Notwithstanding President Dc Ave ars Appeal, Those On Strike
 Refuse to Resume Work

Buenos Aires, May 6. - Notwith- standing President De Alvear's appeal to those who are striking against the pension law there has been no break in the movement among the workers while many employers have decided to ignore the recommendation of their committee that business be re- stunned. Among those decided to re- main closed are several American con- cerns.
 After considering the president ap- peal the Argentine syndicalist union comprising the principal workers unions of the country with the ex- ception of the railroad men and trans port workers, decided last night to withhold any recommendations to it's constituent organizations. Another meeting is being held today however, for further consideration of the sit uation.
 The president in urging the em- ployes to return to work had before him message from the syndicalist union indicating that the notifications he proposed would not fulfill the workers demands and consequently were unacceptable as a solution. It repeated the demand that application of the measure should be postponed until congress has had an opportunity to consider it in the light of the pres ent situation.

ONLY FEW ARRESTS
 MADE IN MOSCOW Russian Official Denies Report of
 Widespread Captures
By The Associated Press.


 Moscow May 6.-Reports Of thou sands Of arrests made recently in Mos COW and Leningrad among the Rus sian nobility and former Russian en- pioyes of the American relief admins tratlon are. greatly exaggerated, ac- cording, to M. kurski, the commissar Of iwstice.
 "The total number of arrests of all 7 classes in the last six weeks does not exceed loo, the majority of whom probably will soon be released" he said. Most prominent among these arc seven members of thel ate Prince Golitzyns family, who were arrested in Leningrad for corresponding with the Grand Duke Cyril one Of the claimants to the Russian throne.
 "Regarding the arrest of Russians formerly identified with the American relief administration, while have no definite information on the subject. it would not be surprising if such were the fact after the revelations Of the activities of this organlzation in Rus sia published in the United States con cerning assistance given 10 Denikine.
 fCharges similar to these, alleging espionage on the part of members of an organization paid by the American relief associatian, were printed recent I, in a Moscow newspaper and met with prompt denial from Colonel Will liam N. Haskell. former director of the A. R. A., who is now in this coun- fiy.)
 "The number of persons irrecon- cilable to the newe regime is insig- nsficant," Mir. Kurski continued, but they are apt to hamper the task of the government in its present negotiations in London and elsewhere. While there is no truth in the report that a plot has been discovered to assassi- nate the Russian delegation in Lon- don, we are obliged 10 take precau- tions 10 protect the members of the mission because of the known hostile attitude of the white Russians abroad l who from the beginning have at- tempted to embarrass the negotia- tions."
 The commissar said that the recent | vesting of special power in the state political police 10 deal with counter feiters and eounter-revolutionists was not due to the discovery of any plot but to the fact that the government regarded the members of both cate- Eories as equally dangerous to the f states

EAST ENDERS PROTEST

What might be called an indigna-
ton meeting was held Wednesday
night at Conrad school house, by the
irate citizens of East Newark who are
sufferers and martyrs from the repre-
hensible practice of the Pennsylvania
railroad Of parking from two to eight
or ten engines at the Gay street
crossing, and making the lives of all
people in that vicinity constant tor
ture by the noise, smoke, steam and
suffocating gas such practice occa-
sions, all day and all night too. AS
things now exist the people have to
keep doors and windows closed to es-
cape suffocation.
The meeting, which was called for
the purpose of devising ways and
means of remedying the nuisance, was
presided over by Councilman Fulke,
was largely attended. After the mat
ter was thoroughly discussed, COM
mittee consisting of William Schling
ermann, Victor Smith and John Bush,
was appointed to confer with the rail
road Officials, city council, board of
health and board of education and re-
port at a meeting to be held at the
same place on Monday evening, July
21st, at which time the east-enders,
celebrated for their hospitality and
sociabilty, will serve cake and ice
cream.

THE COMMUNITY CHAUTAUQUA

Hundreds of our people are enjoy
ing the splendid entertainments be-
ing given this week by the Commun-
ity Chautauqua at Mckinley Park
Gold grave yard) Sixth and West
Main streets.
The talented high class entertain
ers appearing are far superior to
those usually connected with similar
enterprises, and that they are appre-
ciated is attested by the crowded au-
diences which have greeted them at
every performance. All numbers have
been good, that of Wednesday eve
ming, when Hon. Robe Carl White,
Assistant Secretary Of Labor, in
charge of immigration, delivered his
lecture, Guarding the Gates" being
especially so.
Some of the best on the course yet
remain. Olivar's PHILIPPINE Quintette
in Tropical Melodies" will appear
Friday afternoon and will hold the
boards in the evening, when W. C..

would be just as logical to have
members of congress paid by GER
tain interests, or to have a judge
of the courts paid by other inter
ests. Undoubtedly this system has
helped to bring about some of the
friction that has been created. We
do not hesitate to denOunce this
practice as contrary to the genius
and spirit of our institutions, and
we urge that it be discontinued.
"There is complete industrial
autocracy in this (Logan) county.
Members of the United Mine
Workers of America are driven
out of the county by force if neces-
sary. The operators Of that county
contributed $46,630 in 1920 to the
payment of deputy sheriffs. The
year 1921 it was SCI, SIT. These
deputy sheriffs acted as general
deputy sheriffs, serving processes
around the county and arresting
men who had no connection with
the operators companies. The at
torney general OF West Virginia,
Mr.. England, said (record, PIP. 720,
72D:
"Now, so far as Logan
county is concerned, | feel that
the mine-guard system, as
maintained there, is one, if not
the greatest source of trouble
in that particular county. That
is on account more of possibly
the eXcesses they commit" :"
Senator Kenyon's indictment Of
the mine guard system in the
county where it is the strongest,
indicates how this unlawful insti
tuition is maintained throughout
the anti-union mining section of
West Virginia. In the senator's
report is an acknowledgment by
the attorney general of the state
that the mine guards commit ex-
cesses, but this violation of law is
unpunished.

LESS TAXES FOR RICH

Washington-While the populace
is cheering for its respective presi-
Dental favorites, advocates of low
er taxes for millionaires are quiet
ly arranging a new tax reduction
plan that will be introduced at the
next congress in December.
The Mellon plan for reducing
surfaces was defeated by the last
congress, through a combination
with the minority party and pro-
gressives in the administration
party. The compromise was sign
ed by the president, who took occa-
sion to voice his disapproval of the
act. The fight will be reopened in
December. The next congress
takes office in March, and the
Mellon plan advocates will make
every effort to secure control of
congress at the fall election. They
hope for little success from the
present congress, though they will
fight for reductions because of the
propaganda value.

MINE GUARDS AGAIN ON RAMPAGE:
UNION WORKERS ARE TERRORIzED

Charleston, w. Va.-The "shoot-
ing up" of Brady, a mining town
in Monongalia county, and the
burning of the mine workers hall
at that place by gunner and mine
guards, is a reminder that West
Virginia coal owners have not
abandoned their private armies.
The latest outburst by these
thugs followed a declaration for
the anti-union shop by coal owners
at that place. There was no dis
order until the gunmen appeared.
They quickly maintained their rep
utation for making trouble.
This menace to life, property
and industrial peace was con-
demned in 1922 by the Hon. Will
liam S. Kenyon, then senator from
Iowa, and now on the federal
bench. AS a member of the SEN
