PRESIDENT ASKS
FOR QUARANTINE
MODIFICATION S

A sharp exchange of kilograms be-
tween President Coolidge and Coy
ernor Scrugham featured Saturday s
developments in the fight OF Ne
vada to prevent the spread OF the
foot and mouth disease from Cali
fornia to this state.
In a wire received at the Office OF
Governor Scrugham the President
suggested relaxation of this states
quarantine and in reply the cover
nor said he would be unable to do SO
unless the federal government es-
tablishes a barrier near the Cali
fornia border,
President Coolidges message to
Governor Scrugham follows:
Federal department of agriculture
is acting vigorously to control the
foot and mouth disease and is rigid
ly quarantining infected areas and
preventing movement Of disease-car-
rying animals and commodities. The
department has had experience with
three previous outbreaks. the last
one being much more severe than at
present and its control measures are
being based In this experience. In
view OF the program. | feel that some
quarantine measures now imposed by
states touching California are alto
gether more severe than necessary
to fully safeguard them from the
disease. These quarantines. IL con-
tinued. will result in wholly unneces-
sary hardships and loss OF many
Millions of dollars to growers oil
fruits and vegetables and other COM
modlties which do not carry the
disease.
II suggest an immediate confer
ence OF authorities of the states In
interested and the modification
of the quarantine regulations to met
requirements necessary TO furnish
full protection. Nothing will be left
undone by federal authorities to
eradicate the disease and prevent its
spread. No disease-carrying ship
ments are permitted from infected
territory. In view OF this, | sug-
gest that other states should not In
terfere with the necessary movement
OF farm commodities from territory
not infected. Unnecessary losses
should not be incurred because OF
unnecessary guarantees"
Governor Scrugham replied as fol-
lows
Replying TO your wire regarding
California foot and moth disease sit
uation, regret that | must decline at
present to relax state quarantine
regulations unless the federal gov
ernment les through Sierra Nevada
mountains. will undertake duty and
expense Of making effective quaran-
tine barrier at passes. Secretary
Wallace yesterday wired me: Con

and mouth disease from infected To-
callties. Cannot furnish assistance

to protect California interests which
would naturally minimize the danger,

vation Of the domestic welfare OF the

water, while the Standard Oil COM
pany plans an extension on its wharf
at Tahoe City in order to facilitate
navigation.
The level of the lake Is now at the
low elevation of 622.92 feet. The
lake has a six-foot fuctuation inter-
val. Whei it reaches the height of
6229 feet landowners an the shores
suffer from waves washing out prop
erty, and when it reaches the 1928
foot mark, water will not flow over
the bar at the Truckee river outlet.
This latter record was reached in
October, 1889. when the outlet was
dry and has not occurred since.
However, the dry years of 1883
and 1911-13 were followed by years
Of record rise.
To draw off 400 second feet OF
water, the maximum requirement for
power purposes on the Truckee river
it is necessary for Lake Tahoe to
have an elevation of 6225.2S.
DR.. Church estimates that the
draft for power may be reduced to
less than 100 second feet during the
coming season.
1T will probably rise to miximum
level of 6225.5 feet" he predicts. but
also probably will fall to 6224.43 feet
on October l, and possibly 6223.6s
feet at the winter maximum.

Fiat, Senator Giovanni Agnelli. The
situation became very serious for the
industrials as well as for the Gov
eminent.
Communist Opposition Voiced.
The Communist Trade Unions
Committee interviewed in the agita-
ton, inviting the working masses to
take part in the struggle against the
industrials in order to enlarge the
movement, even tho the struggle had
been engaged in by the Fascists.
The agitation was stified by the CEN
trail leaders Of the Fascist, and the
Conference held on the 10th of De-
cember was convened. In the speech
Mussolini delivered there, he recog-
nized, that it is impossible to organ
ize workers and industrials in one
and the same trade union. Integral
Trade Unionism, according to Mus
solini may be applied, only in the
sphere of agrarian production. The
Faseists have to respect the organ
izatory independence of the indus
trials and have to work only in order
TO avoid the outbreak of class con-
flicts. The meaning Of these words
is clear. The Fascists abandon even
the keeping up Of the appearance,
not only of a struggle against the in
dustrials, but also of any attempt to
eouilibrate, under their arbitrary
control, the interests of the classes
and they have only the confessed
task of organizing the workers to
surrender them to the capitalists
bound hand and foot. This is the
beginning of the end of the Fascist
Trade Unionism.
Immediately after, the conference,

many land owners protested loudly
against the discriminating treatment
shown by Fascism to industry and to
agriculture. They denounced the vio-
lence which they said the Fascist
Trade Union Organizers exercised to
the detriment of the land owners in
terests, by compelling them to re-
spect labor contracts, which of course
declare to be absurd and opposed to
the interests of the nation, and they
claim to be allowed to reconstitute
the General Confederation Of Agri-
culture which had been absorbed by
the Fascist corporations. At Parma
the agrarians have placed themselves
in direct opposition to Fascism, pro-
volSing whole series of incidents
and conflicts. At Reggie Emilia, the
deputy Corgini, former under-secre-
tary of state to the government of
MussoIni, has been expelled from
the Easel and leads raging CAM
paign in favor of the organizatory
independence Of the land owners.
It is to be remarked how great
success was obtained by the tactics
applied by our Party, in order to
unmask before the masses the Fas-
cist Trade Union leaders who had
raised such hubbub against the
industrialists. It is true, these tac-
tics procured to the Fascists the sat-
isfaction of having meetings attend
ed by many thousands of workers,
but they led also to forcing the Fas-
cists to the wall, to causing them to
eat their words and to discrediting
them even in the eyes of the most

that would have that effect.
The mere ,voicing of q belief
that slavery was illegal in Kan
sas was made grave crime. Any
person who said in public that
slavery was wrong, or any person
who even introduced into the

ing this, was to be punished by
imprisonment at hard labor for
a term of not less than five years.
This notorious Clause IL was
obviously aimed at the New York
Tribune and other anti-slavery
journals, and was meant to shut
of every whisper of free speech.
And it did not work.
For the Free State settlers
would not recognize the legality of
the legislature, and held an cleo
ton of their own. And SO there
were two legislatures in Kansas

backward portion Of the working
masses.
Disintegration of Fascism.
If these tactics were generalized
and also extended to the agrarian
field, it would be possible to acceler-
ate in a high degree the disintegra-
ton of Fascism and hence the reor-
ganization of the revolutionary
forces. But against this there are
the reformist socialists as well as tho
maximalist socialists who still have
control over the Trade Union Cen
trails and Of the only periodicals of
proletarian character still published
in Italy. Thus they demonstrate once
more that they do not really intend
to fight against Fascism. It is true,
they risk much if they attack Fas-
cism in order to contend with 1t,
within its own Trade Unions or in the
agitations sometimes sot up by It,
for control and leadership Of the
masses entering the movement. On
the other hand, it is certain that
large strata, not only Of rural work
crs, but also of factory workers who
have no other chance Of fighting
against the bourgeoisie are drawn to
these agitations by the Fascist
demagogy, hoping thus to wiring some
thing from their employers. The in
transigeance shown by the refounist
and maximalist gentry, is in fact no
intransigeance against Fascism, but
against the poorest and most back
ward portion of the workers. More
over, it is never true to itself and
makes many concessions to the Fas-
cists who are governing.

The Border Rufians Hold an
Election.
MO FAIR-MINDED reader Of
IN history can doubt, in glanclng
over the records Of that time, that
the South took the first bloody
and brutal offensive in their at
tempt to force slavery on Kansas.
Later. the Free State men from
the North, under leaders like
John Brown, General Lane and
Captain James Montgomery, took
nm arms, too, and defended them
selves bravely; but at first, they
were victims Of the South's deter
mination to carry its point.
Stealing the Elections.
The Southerners began the at
tack by stealing the elections for
the territorial legislature. Thous-
ands of Missourians, on horseback
and in wagons, with guns, bowie
knives, revolvers and plenty OF
whisky, poured over the line in
November, 1854, and encamped
near the polling places. The ballot
boxes were extravagantly, even
humorously, stuffed; the elections
were carried for the South. There
was nothing concealed about the
affair: in fact, the Missouri news
papers had gaiIy whipped up re-
cruits for the raid.
Many Of these men, Border Ruff
fans, as the North called them,
were hired for the work. Others
came for the fun; others because
they hated Yankees; others be-
cause they were devout believers
in Slavery.
"They wore the most savage
looks and gave utterance to the
most horrible imprecations and
blasphemies," said Thomas Glad
stone, q relative Of the great
statesman Of that name, who was
in Kansas at the time. "In groups
of drunken, believing, blood
thirsty demons, armed to the
teeth, they crowded about the bars
and shouted for drink, or made
the night hideous with noise on
the streets"
Free State Men Punished.
Their fraudulent Pawnee legis-
lature convened and passed a code
of punishment for Free State
men. Under the code, no one OPP
posed TO slavery m any manner
could serve on a jury, or hold
any Office in Kansas
Death itself was the penalty for

The association repeated former
request made of the Northwest SUB

tend an apology to the Georgetown
Citizens Association for alleged re-
marks made by c. G.. Lancaster be-
fore hearing of the Public Utilities
Commission last Spring. Lancaster,

have stated at the utilities hearing
that a delegation of the Georgetown
citizens had been bodily thrown out Of

Members of the latter association
stated. however, 1t is said. that they
had no recollection of any member
of the Georgetown body having come
to any of their meetings. The COM
munication from the Georgetown Cit
liens Association requesting the
apology never was brought before
the other citizens body, the secre-
tary of the latter body having deem
ed 1t inadvisable to bring the matter
before them, it was stated last night
at the meeting. Now the George

matter should be brought before the

ogy should be made.
