He intimated, however, that # the Ford offer is ever beaten, there would be consultation between Alabama members of Congress and residents oi Alabama before a new program is formulated.
 @t The Senate committee on agriculture is regarded as antagonistic to the Ford offer. Senator Underwood declared, however, that he had assurance from the, chairman and other menbers that the Ford offer would be brought to the floor,

CHECK FISH SLAUGHTER

WASHINGTON, June IL. = The
Senate passed the House Sutherland
bill, which is intended to break the
power of packing corporations in the
Alaskan salmon waters. There has
been no legislation for this industry
since 1906. Under the Sutherland
bill traps are abolished. From 1907
to 1922 more than 332,OOO,OOO salmon
have been caught by this method.
The traT is a net, often a mile
long, arranged in such a way that
when salmon DO in they can not
escape. These traps are placed at
the mouth Of fresh water where the
salmon enter from the ocean to
spawn.

$4,000 WORKERS
OF WASHINGTON
GAGGED BY LAW
Civil Service Employees
Can't Talk Politics

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-When old
Washington Gardner, head of the
Pension Bureau, some two years ago
discovered that one Of the clerks in
his bureau had confessed to being a
Socialist, the man was brought be-
fore him, lectured on his lack of
patriotism" and dismissed, on charges
Of political activity.
But when the press room at the
White House, at the start of the presi-
Dental campaign, sends out over the
country an account of how President
Coolidge had political conference
with Inspectors ]. P. MacArdle and
Joseph Bromley of the safety appli-
ance bureau Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, not single whis-
per Of protest is heard. MacArdle is
a former active member of the Order
of Railway Conductors, and Bromley
was formerly active in the Locomo-
tive Engineers. McArdle has been
under the protection Of the classified
civil service law for 10 years, and
Bromley for Is years. They were
quoted at the White House as having
assured Coolidge that lots of the rail-
road brotherhood men are for Cal.
Favored May Speak.
When their bureau chief was asked
whether these inspectors would be
disciplined, or whether the political
gag was off the entire staff OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission, he
anxiously denied that they had been
given permission to talk politics. Ger
tainly the gag was on the rest Of the
staff, and would stay on.
"Mr. MacArdle is in charge of the
Massachusetts district, and is a
friend of Mr.. Coolidge" he explained.
His was purely personal call and
Mr.. Bromley, who has the New York
district, accompanied him. Mr.. Clark
one Of the secretaries to Mr.. Cool.
idge, is a special friend of Mr.. Mac
Ardle, and 1 assume it was in that
way that the political story was given
out"
Praise Cal Only.
Fifty-fve thousand government en-
ployes in the District of Columbia are
forbidden to talk politics. under the
civil service regulations. But any
body who can say anything favorabl
to the unattractive and colorless in
dividual who now holds presidential
power will henceforth during the
campaign feel safe in applying the
Daugherty principle. They. try to
qualify for better paid jobs regardless

BERLIN JUNKERS
CROOK A KNEE
SOVIET REPUBLIC
Make Good Damages
for Embassy Raid

BERLIN, August 3.-The German
government made a complete and un-
conditional surrender to the demands
of the Soviet government over the
raid on the Russian trade legation,
which resulted in the Soviet govern
ment breaking off relations with Ger
many and closing up all it's trade
Offices in that country,
The pretext for the raid was the
alleged escape Of a prisoner escorted
by German police into the Soviet, le-
cation. But the police who went to
look for him, instead Of making an
effort to find the missing prisoner,
ransacked the Soviet files and carted
away thousands of documents and
arrested several hundred employees.
Great indignation was felt in Mos.
COW over the incident. The Prussian
police official who instituted the raid
was dismissed and the Prussian Ger.
man government disavowed the Incl
dent. The Soviet government was not
satisfied but demanded reparations
FOR the damage done and the estab
lishment of the right of extra-terri
toriality for Soviet embassies in Ger
many.
These demands have been met by
the German government and both
governments have agreed to rush
work on a commercial agreement and
have it concluded If possible before
the end Of the year.
The German surrender coming
shortly after the recognition of the
Soviet Republic by China. is further
proof OF the growing power and in
| fluence Of the workers government.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The distribu-
ton of the anti-war leaflet, Ten Years
After" by the party membership in
New York City has been a splendid
demonstration of the enthusiasm with
which the comrades are now getting
into party activities
In every section Of the city, the call
to branches to elect committees for
the work of distribution, met with a
fine response. A house to house dis
tribution was organized in important

cessful one yet arranged in the city.

more significant as this branch has

showed its eagerness to take part in
party work by coming down almost in
full force. In fact, not single branch
in Harlem the biggest section in Local
New York, failed to participate in the
distribution.
In Williamsburg, a much smaller
section, the response was equally as
good, more comrades reporting for
duty than at any previous distribu-
ton.
Brownsville also gave evidence of
the new spirit of activity within the
ranks. The English and Jewish
branches of the Workers Party and
the Young Workers League have
each been assigned an evening for
distribution. Even the junior section
of the Y. w. L. has been enlisted.

Other sections, the Bronx, Lower
Manhattan, and South Brooklyn all
reported success. Credit for organ
izing the distribution must be given
to Comrades Nemser, Nessin, Levy,
Belle Robbins, Cohen, and others ac-

given by branches of the Young

willingness to work is manifesting it.
