sit is not that there is no longer
need for such work." Capt, Hibben
declared in making the announcement.
There is terrible and compelling need
as consequence of the war, the in
yasion Of Russia by the white armies
and the famine. But it is no longer
possible to raise money to meet this
need at the very low cost Of raising
funds that this Committee has set as
the limit Of its overhead. So we must
stop. We are still $4,000 short Of what
we have promised to send over before
June 80. do not know whether we
shall even be able to keep our pledge
to send this amount, or not. If not,

similarity of this policy to that of the
Farmer-Labor Progressive League and
offered an amendment that action on
the proposition be postponed until the
following days session. Chamber
lain's attempt to explain away the
non-partisan feature of his policy
brought forth speeches and created a
turmoil that scared him and the rest
Of the Leader crowd. At midnight
the convention finally adjourned un-
til the next day to reconsider the
question of policy.
The few champions Of class Far
mer-Labor Party and the ST. Paul
convention have but a slim chance
against the Leader steamroller, with
George Wilson, who is after the nom.

gineer. But the militant farmer-la-
borites are determined to give this
gang Of political burglars run for
their money at the closing days ses-

GERMANY SHUT
OFF FROM ALL
RUSSIAN TRADE
Soviet Boycott Order
Stuns Berlin

BERLIN, May 13.-Business circles
in Germany were in a state of con-
sternation yesterday, when it became
known that the Soviet government had
sent a telegram to it's trade delega-
ton in Riga instructing all foreign
trade representatives Of the Workers
Republic to Immediately cease bust
ness with all German firms and can
eel all contracts already made.
The message ordered that all goods
usually shipped thru Germany must
be diverted to other ports. The or
der was over the signature of M. Kras-
sin, Commissar for Trade.
What next?" is the question asked
here by the capitalists as they consi-
der the retaliatory measures adopted
by Moscow for the illegal raiding Of
its embassy in Berlin by political po-
lice under the instructions Of the
Prussian minister of the Interior. The
excuse for the raid was fanciful tale
Of the escape Of a Communist prison
er into the embassy and the conse-
quent search, thru desks and files for
the missing culprit.
The Workers and Peasants govern
ment resented this challenge to its in
dependence and showed Immediately
that it would stand no nonsense from
the German bourgeoisie. It promptly
shut UP its trade headquarters, called
its ambassador to Moscow and along
with cutting off trade relations with
Germany, cancelled all German con-
.cessions in Russia.
Monster mass meetings are being
held daily turnout Russia and at these
meetings the Soviet government is
urged to warn the capitalists of the
world that the workers and peasants
of that country stand ready for any
emergency, to protect their revolution
from the bourgeois wolves who cannot
help showing their fangs every now
and then.
That the German government COM
mitted a bad blunder in raiding the
embassy is now conceded by all except
the Ludendorf- forces. Their
hatred for Communism and Commun-
lists outweighs whatever judgment
they they might be able to exercise
on ordinary occasions. The heavy
vote of the Communists in the last
elections and the swing toward the
left wing in France making de jure
recognition by that country of Russia
almost certainty, adds to the anxiety
Of the more sober-minded Germans
whose pockets feel the results of the
anti-Soviet saber-rattling of the mill
tarists.

representing the kind of Socialism
that the orphans of the Second Inter-
national inherited.
Immediately news of Poincare's de-
feat reached the bourse, the franc fell
with a sickening thud. In financial
circles it is predicted that the left
victory, while making things look
brighter from political point of view
for the Dawes plan, will have a ten
dency to make the house of Morgan
disinclined to risk it's good money to
save continent that appears to be
on a liberal spree.
Morgan had based his calculations
on a Poincare victory. He saved the
premier before when the franc was
sinking by pouring 100000 into the
French treasury. This time, however,
the peasants who were being taxed
to death in order to keep the troops
in the Ruhr, rendered a thumbs
down" decision on the Poincare cabi-
net The franc today before the
bourse opened was being quoted at
1880 to the dollar.
Poincare cancelled his proposed con.
ference with Premier Macdonald.
The French premier and his cabinet
will resign on June 1. 1t is expected
Millerand, former Socialist, will re-
sign from the presidency.
Edouard Herriot, Socialist mayor of
Lyons and leader in the movement
among French business men to recog-
nize Soviet Russia, is picked as the
most likely successor to Poincare.
Herriot, despite his title, is not So
cialist, but of the LaFollette or Victor
Berger type of liberal.
The left press is demanding the
resignation of Millerand, who is, if
possible, more reactionary than Poin-
care. The Comite des Forges-the
French steel trust-recently planned
to establish a Fascist dictatorship,
with Poincare at its head, but the
growth of left sentiment prevented
the carrying out of this plan. The
latest figures give the lefts 307, with
264 for the right.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, May 49, The
state convention of the Farmer-Labor
Party of Pennsylvania opened its SEES
sions yesterday in Eagles Hall with
fifty-two delegates present, the great
majority Of whom are also delegates
to the convention OF the State Fedora
tion of Labor now on here. Many more
delegates are expected to arrive.
All speakers addressing the conven-
tion appealed for a united front Of
labor regardless Of political views.
The first clash occurred over the seat
ing of delegates. All delegates were
finally seated.
Delegate Fred Merrick of Pittsburgh
moved that all delegates to the Fed
Grafton of Labor convention be seated
as delegates to the Farmer-Labor con-
vention. After lengthy debate, this
motion was lost by vote of 16 to "a,
the radicals voting for the motion.
Secretary Fuller reported that pos
sibilities for Farmer-Labor Party
thruout the state are very favorable
and that in several places Farmer-La-
Dor Parties succeeded in nominating
candidates and even in capturing the
primaries of the old capitalist parties.
Delegate Pat Toohey Of Cannons-
burg, pointed out that the Federation
of Labor failed to do its duty In build
ing no a zeal organization OF the work
ing class and expressed hope that the
rank and file would insist on action
in the future.
A big fight is expected on the report
of the resolutions committee on the
question of June II and July con-
ventions. The sentiment is strong for
June II. Oficials Of the party failed
to make any recommendation on this
subject.
The convention will meet every
night after the Federation If Labor
convention adjourns. The latter opened
yesterday in the Lyric theatre. Presi-
dent Maurer is subjected to much cri-
ticism for inviting the steel trust sec
Rotary Of Labor, James ]. Davis to at
dress the convention on new imnigra-
ton Jaws.

Landlord Kind. But Poor.

A landlord who claims to be almost
as poor as his tenants, appeared in
renters court before Judge Samuel
Trude yesterday. Thomas Tobin is
the man, who came TO complain that
since he was out OF work he would
have to put out his tenant, Mrs. Mary
kodak, young widow with four chill
dren, owing four months rent.
The bailiff's heart was touched and
he took up a collection in the court
room, amounting 70 $s4. Tobin gen.
erously allowed Mrs. Kodak TO keep
the money, and said he would not
charge her rent for the rest OF the
month.

and fifty delegates and hundreds of
visitors packed the convention hall.
Hillman frecounted in his speech
the establishment by the Amalgamat-
ed Clothing Workers of the Russian
Industrial corporation. He said it
was a practical demonstration of in
ternational workers solidarity.
For the preservation of the Anal
gamated, Hillman mentioned the need
of Farmer-Labor party, to which he
pledged the cooperation of the union.
"It appears to be a possibility, and
il it becomes reality, the Amalga-
mated will put all its forces behind
it to strike a new way in the political
field" stated Hillman, with tremen-
dous applause and cheers from the
convention.
Resolutions supporting the June II
convention, in st. Paul, of Farmer
Labor representatives are before the
proper committee. Gossip in the con-
venticn hall intimates that the admin
istration of the union favors sending
delegates also to the July 4 conven-

WASHINGTON, May 49, Senate
leaders were thrown into confusion
today by threats of progressives to
scalp the Esch-C ummins act.
Not content with promises OF action
on farm relief measures, the progress
sives, who have moved the senate to
their bidding thruout this session,
have quietly made plans to force inn
mediate lowering of freight rates. The
first hint of this purpose was given
when Senator Pittman, of Nevada,
acting from the democratic side, tack.

posed by the railroads. Briefly, II
would prevent them from charging a

Now the charge is made that trans.

by the railroads to hurt shipping from
coast to coast thru the Panama Canal.
Pittman says II their plan was carried
out as placed before the interstate
commerce commission, half the ship
ping Of the Panama Canal would be
killed off within a short time.
The army appropriation measure
contained an appropriation Of $780,
600 for the Panama Canal and hence
the railroad issue was advanced by
Pittman. The railroads now are pro-
tected by section four of the Esch-
Cummins act, which the amendment
would repeal.
Most OF the leaders do not wish to
vote on the issue at this time and
thus another test Of strength between
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS coalition
and the remainder Of the senate is in
prospect. The success Of the coali-

FIGHT AGAINST
DEPORTA TI0NS
AT ACUTE STAGE
Aliens Have No Rights,
Rules Masters Court
Ry pefense News service.

Amended deportation warrants were
issued this week for four /. w. w. ex,
political prisoners on the grounds
that they are undesirable residents of
this country, because they have
served terms in prison. These men
are Herbert Mailer, Canadian; Jo-
seph Oates, English William Moran,
Australian, and Pietro Nigra, italian.
In order that the fight against these
proposed deportations may continue,
the general defense committee has
just issued an appeal to all branches
and members of the /. w. w. for i'm.
mediate cash contributions. Money is
needed to pay attorneys fees and for
publicity concerning these cases. For
several months the New York branch
of the general defense committee, Of
which Richard Brazier is secretary,
has been carrying the burden Of this
campaign. It has financed all of its
own operations, but has reached the
point where it is exceedingly difficult
to raise more money in the east.
Ex-Pest Facto Law.
"These deportation warrants are
both unjust and Illegal" said James
Morris, secretary Of the general de-
Tense committee today. "They are
based on a section of the immigration
law which was not enacted until after
the convictions of the men involved
in the war opinion cases. Thus the
warrants are a clear violation Of arti-
Gle of the United States constitution,
which expressly stipulates that: No
ex-post facto latter the fact) law
!. shall be passed. We have sue
ceeded in getting numerous organiza-
lions and individuals on both sides
of the Atlantic to protest to Presi-
dent Coolidge and Secretary Of Labor
Davis against exiting the four fellow
workers mentioned and ten others
against whom similar warrants are
pending.
$50 far the only visible result Of
these protests is that the case of John
Avila has been reopened and will be
accorded an opportunity to explain
why he should not be deported. Only
by steady pressure upon the authori-
ties can we hope to win this fight,
and only by gathering in adequate
money quickly can we exert that pres
sure"
Gives Aliens No Rights.
"Action against the alien born ex-
politicals by the department of labor
and the decisions of the courts in the
cases Of Mailer and the other four
are based upon strange conception
OF law. Federal Judge George T.
. n = q s- :, said and the United
States supreme court has lately up
held his ruling, that aliens residing in
the United States have absolutely no
rights under the constitution, altho
they are subject to all the laws
grounded upon that document.
Judge Page took the position that
aliens entering this country come in
solely as licensees and are amenable
to discipline by congress.
1.-THE same judge was upheld by the
supreme tribunal in his decision that
the ex-post facto provision Of the con-
stitution applied only to citizens and
did not in any way affect cases
brought against aliens. But you will
find nowhere in the constitution any
evidence that its trainers had any in
tention Of limiting its application
solely to citizens. It clearly states
that no ex-post facto law shall be
passed"
