WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator
5orah, replying to an inquiry as
to whether the Associated Press
told the truth when it quoted him
as calling President Coolidge "the
greatest man in the political his
tory of the United States" denies
that he made that statement. How
ever, he says he did pay tribute to
Coolidge for Vetoing the post Of
flee employees wage bill and other
"extraVagances." 5orah called this
matter Of reducing public expendi-
lures one Of the supreme Issues Of
the age, and Coolidge heroic for
his action.
He has not yet replied to the
challenge of the National Fedora
ton of Postoffce Clerks as to why
he does not censure Coolidge for
signing the bill raising the salary Of
his political chiefs in the postoffice
department from $1,000 to $4,000
a year.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-In an
election broadside, Santiago leIesI-
as, labor leader In Porto Rico, re-
cites the report made by a commit
tee of members of the American
Federation of Labor, that I'VE find
Porto Rico to be a living grave
yard" and asks the UnlonIst-Repub-
lican alliance to tell the voters lust
what measures they have planned,
or would propose, to alleviate the
terrible poverty Of the mass Of the
people heneeforth.
He challenges the alliance 10 say
whether II will favor a smaIl-hoId-
lnas law which would break up the
big sugar and coffee plantations to
the extent required to give gardens
or small farms to agricultural Ia
borers. He further challenges them
to say whether they would vote for
legislation retaining in Porto Rico
sufficient Of Its products, or the re-
turn thereof, TO afford a living to
the people Of the island who are
employed In creating them.
Porto Rico Is declared to export

BRITISH ARMS
HOLD TURKISH
OIL FROM TURKS
John Bull Will Not Trust
His Own League

CONSTANTINOPLE, October 10
Wars are so common nowadays that
only a real whopper excites more than
ordinary attention. In other days the
Turko-British imbroglio would be
front page news. But with hundreds
of thousands lined up in battle array
in China, the skirmishes between
Turkey and England over the Mosnl
oil fields receives only slight atten-
ton.
Big War Threatens.
But it would not surprise seasoned
political observers here if a big strug-
gle develops out of the present ten
sion. Actual fighting is taking place
right now between Turkish and Brit
ish troops. Before Macdonald was de-
feated in the commons, his troops
were shedding blood in defense of the
oil wells stolen from the people of
Mesopotamia by the Lloyd George
government, for the British capital
lists. He is still in charge of the
bloody work.
uIHCJ FECPGfCSs
The Turkish government at An
CORA is in extraordinary session. The
British are threatening to attack Mo-
sui. Turkey has all the appearance
OF a country getting ready for war.
Yet war with the British empire is
a serious proposition. Turkey will not
undertake it lightly, at least not with
out learning the attitude Of France
and other big powers.
Won't Trust League.
The British are occupying Turkish
territory, declaring they have man
date from the league of nations to
govern it. The natives would be just
as well pleased if England dropped
the white mans burden" and left
them alone, but there is oil on their
native land, which compels them to
sleep with strange bedfellows.
The Turks are willing to let the
league of nations define the boundary
but England will not even trust the
league. France is a member of the
league and Frances vassal states
have votes.
The capitalists are in pretty fix.

radical activities in the western
world, manufactured bombs,
and carried out systematic as
sassinations."
The series began publication
in the Daily News yesterday.
Lurid beyond anything yet offered
to the readers of detective stories,
this latest addition to the Desperate
Desmond School of Fiction will, to
give the exact language of the Daily
News advertising man, "bristle with
vivid and terrible details" In
other words, it will be the old
familiar hoakum, the regular
bull, conventional admixture of
wild yarns about fake plots, which
are manufactured out of the whole
cloth by private detective agencies and
out-of-work operatives whenever they
think they can scare rich old repro
bate into paying for some heavy
sleuthing.
Burns Controls the 80. Of j."
For years, the whole detective Gin
dustrys Of the country has been en-
gagged in taking plots-and then, in
order to make good with client,
framing up some poor sucker and rail
reading him to jail before he re9'izes
what has happened to him.
A professional dick once told the
writer that two-thirds of his work con-
sisted of executing frame-ups. Es-
pecially prominent in this line of en-
deavor is the Burns Detective agency
! "a million-dollar corporation, with
ramifications extending to all parts of
the world; and for long, long time
the Burns agency has controlled the
federal department Of justice, body
and soul.
The DAILY WORKER knows "The
Reds" at first hand; it is a Commun-
list organ. 1t also knows Mr.. Jacob
Spolansky at first hand, number of
Communists having been victims of
his frame-ups. Side by side with the
fake revelations in the Chicago Daily
News, the DAILY WORKER will pub
fish a series of articles prepared with
the assistance of the Labor Defense
Council, exposing the would-be expos
ers. This is the first of the series.
Read what the DAILY WORKER has
to say and compare it with Spolan-
sky's daily nonsense in the Daily
News.
According to advertisements, Spoil.
ansky's principal articles will deal
with:
The Group Of Avengers" in Gary.
Plots to kill prominent Americans.
The secret of the Wall Street bomb
explosion of 1919
Getting at the Truth.
The DAILY WORKER can tell you
something about these topics, even
before reading the articles in the
Daily News. The Group Of Aveng-
ers," otherwise spoken Of as the
knights of the Red Star" is an en-
tirely fictitious organization, con-
ceived in the minds of a group Of
private detectives, headed by Mike
Flanagan, now president of the Thiel
Detective Service Co., who used it to
brighten Chicago bankers. All sorts
of wild deeds were attributed to this
mysterious organization, including the
alleged attempt to assassinate states
attorney Hoyne in the summer of
1920, but not shred of evidence was
ever produced to show that 1t actually
existed, except collection of silly
"blackhand" letters, whose very
geries.
The so-called plots to kill prominent
Americans began to be talked about
in detective circles early in 1919, in
connection with document purport-
ing to come from Russia, giving de-
tailed instructions for the systematic

The battle ground of the con-

Phoenix Hall, 4o5 w. Division

Hall, where all but six members
of the wan-Bowerman-Grif-

have agreed to meet and trash
out their differences.
These six members of the

delegates from the lumber

Frame Series of Demands.
The convention" of the six mem.
bers Of the Rowan group adjourned
early yesterday afternoon after draw
ing up a series of demands" upon
the convention of delegates meeting
in Emmett Memorial Hall.
This convention is composed of all
the delegates who decided to meet in
one convention in the interests of
unity. Delegates in the Rowan group,
who have so far declined unity, told
the DAILY WORKER that they will
meet again at $50 w. Washington St.
to consider the reply Of the large con.
vention at Emmett Memorial Hall to
their demands" They declare un.
less their demands are met they will
remain outside the regular conven-
ton, but refused to disclose what
these demands are.
Claim Complete Unity.
Reports emanating from the closed
session of the !. w. w. convention at
Emmett Memorial Hall were to the eff.
feet that almost complete unity has
been obtained by the L. w. w. dele.
gates. The report of the credentials
committee was acted upon yesterday
afternoon by the executive session.
The delegates honored the creden-
tails of adherents to both the Row

Doyle-Fisher group. Only those dele
gates were seated, however, the
DAILY WORKER was informed, who
were regularly elected by groups of

told the DAILY WORKER. "The big

kHUSSOLINI finds his footing get
IVA ting slipper every day. He is
now forced to request the assistance
of D'Annunzio, the crazy playwright,
who would feel as happy under the
leadership of Mussolini as a hungry
cannibal,. hogtied within sight of a
fat bishop. The Fascist movement is
nearing the end in Europe. In Spain
the black shirt dictatorship under
DE Rivera hangs on the Morocco ex-
petition, which means that it hangs
on hair with the Riffian sabre in
dangerous proximity. The capital
lists have found it more advantageous
to work thru the social democratic
parties, than thru the more crude
Fascist. 1t wears better camouflage.
"A MOTHER feature Of the present
~ European situation is the growth
of anti-clericalism, which is chiefly
manifested in the Latin countries of
France, Spain and Italy. While the
Vatican made considerable temporary
gains by allying itself with the Fas-
cisti, the fall of that dictatorship will
certainly bring down upon the head of
the Catholic church the wrath of the
masses who suffered under the black
shirt regime. The republican ele-
ments in the Latin countries are anti
clerical and the fall of Fascism in
Italy and Spain will undoubtedly
bring about a state of affairs as far as
the church is concerned, as took place
n France in 1905.
