The International Association of
Machinists has sent a letter thru its
secretary to Alfred de la Huerta pro-
testing against his treatment of trade
unionists within the territory under
his control. The letter also pledges
the support of the Machinists organ
ization to the 0bregon government.
The International Association of
Machinists acted as purchasing agent
IN the United States for the Oregon
government several years ago.
The letter follows:
"Adolfo de la Huerta, Vera Cruz.

ports of the murder of Felipe Car

from Merida, issued on Dec. "a, PEN

on your part and those of your fol-

full support and that of the governs

pose to use every influence possible
to assist the Mexican government in
obtaining arms and ammunition and
every legitimate means in our power
to prevent shipments of arms and
ammunition TO your forces from any
nation in the world.
(Signed) &C. G. Davidson,

urer of the National Association

CRIES FOR PUBLIC
N. Y. Bosses In New
Anh-Labor Attack

NEW YORK. - Employers thru
out this state have launched a new
offensive against New York labor.
The Associated Industries-the One
Big Union of the bosses-have de-
manded of Governor Smith that he
sanction a Moreland act investigation
of the state labor department.
The fawning commercial press
loses no time in remarking that this
organization of the manufacturers
represents an investment of more
than $4,000, 100000 and employs $780,
900 laborers. The association charges
that the labor department is "domi-
mated by politics"
The New York World candidly ad-
mits that the requested inquiry "is
a crafty move to embarrass Cover
nor Smith on the part of an organi-
zation which has fought for years
the welfare program of social legis-
lation."
The remaining papers, almost with
out exception, find no words of doubt
as to the employers challenge.
The fact is that the state labor de-
par OAitCAlOs Wullc us IcCOIU mas UcGH
generally unfavorable to labor, has
shown itself unwilling to knuckle I'M
der completely to the employers die
tum. 1t has contained liberal mi
nority, mostly adherents of Governor
Smith, who have even depressed so
far from the path of capitalist virtue
as to contemplate a Workmen's Com
pensation act and several other social
reforms. These reforms scarcely
touch the root causes of social and
economic injustice, but they afford
slight amelioration of the lot of humid
reds of thousands Of workers. OBJ
viously, they involve slight inroads
into the enormous profits of the AS
ISOLATED Industries members. Hence
this sudden burst of indignation ION
behalf of the public" from a source
which has hitherto manifested con-
Germ for that public" only as a
sponge from which profits may be
wrung.

FIREMEN
REQUEST help IN
PAY BOOST FIGHT
Work for Forty-Six
Cents an Hour

Chicago's fire fighters are work
ing for 46 cents an hour. In all
kinds of weather they protect prop
erty and guard life for a pittance.
When there is a fire and often when
there isn't they have no regular
hours of labor.
The Firemen's Association is out
to get raise for the fire fighters.
At present the fight is taking the
form of a petition to the city coun-
ell for raise in pay. The petit
ton asks for raise of $500 a year
for all firemen from new men to
captains.
The lowest pay received by fire.
men is $3.50 a year. Most of
the city's fremen are in class A
and receive $4,000 a year.
The city council has had the re-
quest of the fremen for a raise in
pay before them for some time. 1t
Is understood that the proposed in
crease is beng held up in the coun-
Gil finance committee.
The firemen figure that they work
on an average of 1926 hours a year.
The class A men who get $4,000
therefore work for 46 cents an hour.
That is less than the wages of
janitors who belong to unions.
The firemen point out that the
insurance companies charge them
an unusually high rate for life in
surance because their work is so
dangerous.
They are compelled to buy their
own uniforms at a cost of 1925 a
year.
The petition is being circulated
thruout the city and labor unions
are asked to get signatures to it.
Firemen saw that the only way they

city council on their request for
salary increase is to show that the
people of Chicago are behind them
in their fight for an increase in

Tex Richard Talks Pea.
nuts to Democrats

WASHINGTON, d. C. - Madison
Square Garden, New York's meeting
place Of many a big show and hard
faxed boxing tournament will be the
scene of the greatest political circus
elephant when the Democratic dom
key will pitch his tent under Tex
Richards spacious roof tree on June
oath to prepare for his tussle with
the Republican elephant.
Richards opportunity came this
way. Wild bidding was on between
Chicago, New York and San Fran
cisco for the privilege of robbing the
delegates to the national Democrat
convention. The western city knock
ed down the jackass with bid of
100000 and almost had the thing by
the ears when Richard heard of it.
whats this, he exclaimed, 'if l
pay $500, 900 for two prize fighters
surely a Democratic convention must
be worth at least half that. The
way to get this thing is to put up the
dough. l will give $4,000 for the
peanut concession though it is not
worth more than $4,000"
When the Californians heard this
they tainted and while the referee
was counting nine Tex jumped into
the middle of the ring, raised his
right hand and declared the donkey
was his.
The famous fight promoter is now
mentioned in well informed political
circles here as a possible candidate
for the presidency as result of the
brilliant strategy used in putting
over the convention for New York.
The decisiveness with which he hurl-
ed his peanut proposition into the
scales as the prize was about to go
tn San francisco
a = - places MN at once
In the limelight as a rival to Calvin
Coolidge as a man of few words, but
swift deeds. That is what the coun-
try wants at present, in the opinion
of those close to Richard.
In the event of Richard making
the White House it is rumored here
that his first appointments would in
clude Jack Dempsey and A. Firpo for
Secretary of War and Navy respec-
lively. For the Treasury job it IS
rumored that Leo Koretz or Ponzi
would stand the best chance while
Richard is known to hold Mike Nc
Tighe of New Jersey in high esteem
for his diplomatic ability, and may
succeed Charles Evans Hughes as
Secretary of State. He has all of
Mr.. Hughes qualifications except
hirsute adornment.

Favors Private Robbery
Scorns Progress

The convention which was called
by the Illinois Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION was denounced as an ell
disguised attempt to break up the
Farmer-Labor combination" in
statement issued by Benjamin C.
Marsh, Washington managing di-
rector Of the Farmers National AL
lance.
The convention went on record
against the public ownership of pub
lie utilities, including the railroads,
mines, factories and farms, the lin
ting of the powers of the United
States supreme court and any other
measure that would in the slight
est degree clip the claws Of the
capitalist tiger.
For FOrd's Fertilizer
The plute aggregation also went
on record for: cooperative farming
of market products the develop
nient of Muscle shoals for fertilizer
production as we'll as for other pur-
poses (perhaps for use in the Rep
ublican campaign) a permanent i'm
migration policy designed to limit
the number and select only the best
quality of immigrants and an Amer
lean merchant marine.
The convention leader was Mr..
John Glenn, secretary the assoc
citation. In a set of instructions COM
prising thirteen conditions the CAPT.
talist government in Washington
was practically warned to leave the
manufacturers alone, except when
the latter needed assistance.
Believe in Divine Right
The gist of the convention pro-
ceedings was that this country be-
longed by divine right to the CAPT
talists and that it is sheer effItn-
terry on the part of the workers to
claim it in whole or in part.

3 NATIONS SEE
RUSS SUCCESS
Industrial Revival and
Stable Budget

NEW YORK.-Authcritative ad-
vices from three distinct sources
German, Swedish and Russian-af-
ford substantial proof Of a continued
and fairly rapid improvement of Rus
sian Soviet government finances.
1t is also said on the authority
of Copenhagen financial houses that
Leonid Krassin, the Soviet govern
ment's foreign financial agent, has
been quietly buying up the secur-
tiles of the cars government held
by foreign investors and that some
thing like two-thirds of the total
bond issues have been purchased at
an infinestimable fraction of their
former value. New York bankers
do not put the total as high as this
but admit that the Soviet govern
ment has done a clever stroke Of
business and that in all probability
the acknowledgement of the debts
of the old regime now would be a
purely formal proceeding involving
little if any financial obligations so
far as the Soviet government is con-
cerned.
Additional encouragement for the
friends Of the first workers and
farmers republic in the world is con-
tanned in the conclusions of close
and unfriendly observers returned
recently from Russia that the tcher-
vonets 1.-THE new gold backed notes
on a par with the English pound)
are a success and that the Soviet
government viii issue before the end
of this month another note series.
The new issue will consist of five,
three and one gold ruble bills de-
signed to give a more flexible me-
dunn Of circulation than can be had
with the ten ruble tchervonets. The
amount OF the new NOES 70 Ne
placed IN circulation will be con-
ditioned by the value of the tcher-
vonets-now 280, 100000 gold rubles
and will never exceed in value
more than half of the tchervonets in
circulation at any time.
1t is believed that the new note
issue will be fioated without in any
way depreciating the value Of the
tchervonets and the experience Of
the Soviet government with issues
of notes backed by the credit of
the national railways furnishes a
logical backing for this opinion.
These railway notes or certificates
have been accepted by the purchas-
ing public at their face value with
out any adverse effect on the par
ity of the chervOnets.
The lack of a stable circulating
medium has been and is now one of
the chief obstacles in the way Of
a rapid industrial recovery. With
the success Of the new note issue
that is confidently expected by Rus
sian and foreign experts alike in
dustrial activity will increase at the
most rapid pace since the revolution.
1t must be remembered that I'M
der the strict control of credit and
national industry maintained by the
Soviet government the success of
the new note issue and Of the state
loans that are contemplated means
an immense expansion Of the abil-
ity of the government to maintain
its heavy industry and extend the
educational enterprises to which it
attaches more importance than any
government in the world today.
