FORGET WALL ST,
BLAST; DANGER
OF SUITS PAST
Burns BIufed for Years
to Cheat Victims

CLEVELAND, Aug. 1.-THE Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen's magazine calls editorial
attention once more to the fshy char
acter Of the attempts to solve the
Wall Street explosion which cost
many lives in the fall of 1920. Tho
William j. Burns announced half
dozen times that he had caught the
alleged bolshevik plotter it always
turned out case of mistaken iden.
tity
Now when the legal limitations for
civil damage suits is in force the
hunt for the criminal seems to have
been dropped. The Firemen's maya.
zine comments:
1T appears that at the time Of the
explosion this load of nitro-glycerine,
or whatever it was, was being trans
ferred for use in excavation work be-
ing conducted as preliminary to the
erection Of building by certain Wall
Street interests, and this notwith-
standing that the transportation Of
explosives in the city by daylight was
prohibited by a city ordinance Some
thing, it seems, bumped the wagon
as it turned the corner and caused the
explosion.
Then very well known prince of
finance called in the detective above
referred to and they agreed that prob
ably millions of dollars Of damage
suits would result if the facts be-
came known and the said detective
started out with the cry of red bomb
pilot
"This same detective was employed
at the time extensively by other bank
ing interests and as result of this
smooth work, no damage awards
have had to be paid, and as the time
prescribed by law within which suits
can be filed has expired, said prince
of finance and all of his subsidiary
interests are entirely safe from any
such consequences"

PEACE IN DAVIS
STABLE RACES AS
DONKEYS KICK
Animals Not Recovered
from Circus Spree
(speeIaI to the Daily workers.

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
CLARKSBURG, Aug. 12.-Demo-
cratic donkeys are kicking over the
traces in the new political stable
over which John w. Davis presides.
This was learned when battle royal
took place on the national committee
between the Smith followers and
those who saw in the candidacy of
William Gibbs MacAdoo the pillar
of fame which would help the Nordic
race lead America thru the wilderness
which is infested with brigands and
evil doors in the persons Of countless
Koons, Hikes and Katholics.
cem's Wings Clipped.
Glen L. Shaver, who trimmed the
republicans in West Virginia and put
across a democrat as governor had
about as much luck with the Kath-
olics on the national committee as
silent Cal Coolidge had with the last
republican congress. Glen appointed
Bruce Kremmer, of Montana, a Mac
Adoo man to the running strings in
his pajamas, vice-chairman, but it
only took George Brennan and his
cohorts few minutes to ease Krem-
mer out of his position and ease
Frank L. Hague, of New Jersey, a
healthy supporter of beer and heavy
wines, into the vacancy.
Didn't Want Another Tack.
After Kremmer was thus uncere-
moniously booted in the posterior,
George Brennan rose and smilingly
moved that Kremmer be appointed
Western campaign manager. This only
set several Ku Koo democrats wag-
ging their ears furiously.
What John w. Davis needs is a
police detail for his campaign commit
tee meetings and not a campaign
manager.

International in New

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Amer
lean round-the-world flyers trip "is
just a symbol of preparations now be-
ing made by the United States for a
future war which will be fought in the
air" William Weinstone told an anti
war meeting in New York held on the
10th anniversary of the opening of the
world war by the Workers Party. AL
tho a plentiful supply of police re-
serves had been sent to the meeting,
they did not interfere with the speak
ers. Over 1000 workers cheered the
illusions to the Communist Interna-
tional as the one force which could
prevent capitalist wars.

U. S. ARSENAL
IN PHILIPPINES
IS DESTROYED
Explosion Kills Two;
Injuries Many

MANILA, P. l., Aug IL. The
Philippine government magazine, con-
tanning the entire. store of several
hundred tons of explosives situated
on Talim Island, was destroyed by a
terrific explosion, which killed two
constabulatory guards and injured
several children that were playing in
the vicinity.
So far the United States govern
ment military authorities have not
traced the disaster to propaganda
from Moscow or from the Workers
Party Of America. No doubt that
omission will soon be made good.
The trial of 20S Philippine Boy
Scouts was halted today because of
the exhaustion of the funds to pay
the court stenographer. The trial is
taking place before a military court
1t is expected that 125 witnesses will
be called.

an agreement on per cent was
reached in the United States, the
Canadian demand was revised accord
ingly. The American employees got

BANKERS READY
TO FLOAT BIG
GERMAN LOAN
Stresemann and Herriot
Tentatively Agree

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
LONDON, Aug. 12.-Having elimi-
mated most Of the obstacles in their
way, the international bankers who are
taking first mortgage on Europe
agreed to set the machinery in motion
to raise the loan of 5000, 900 which
the Dawes plan needs in order to put
it to work.
The bankers are not doing so badly
at that. The interest charged will be
Z per cent, if the bankers have their
way.
Capitalist Leaders chummy.
M. Herriot Of France and Herr
6tresemann of Germany are getting
along famously, the millions of Ger
IMAM and French workers who were
killed and MANNED in the great war
being conveniently forgotten the cap
italist statesmen combining their di-
plomatic activities to questions of
trade and barter.
The radicals who said during the
war that the German and French capt.
talists would sip wine and smoke
cigars and barter away the lives and
liberties of their respectives peoples,
after the war was over, were looked
upon as false prophets but their pre-
dictions are amply borne out today.
Herriot, the radical socialist and
Stresemann, the Kaiserite, are con-
versing quite agreeably over trade
Unknown soldiers may rest in peace.
Reach Tentative Agreement
A tentative agreement has been
reached between France and Germany
or strictly speaking between Herriot
and Stresemann. On the evacuation
of the Ruhr, Herriot is willing to
eliminate the time element and swap
his original proposal Of eleven months
for immediate evacuation, provided
Germany gives France and all the
other signatories to the Versailles
treaty most favored nations treatment.
Herriot also demands the right of
Alsace and Lorraine to ship goods into
Germany duty free for the next five
years.
1t is rumored that England looks
with no loving gaze on the rapproach-
ment between Germany and France.
The possibility of a German-French
alliance against the British is not out
side the bounds of possibility and it
would not be a meter of surprise to
see Macdonald or some other British
diplomat trying to break the chain of
Cancellation which the international
bankers forged with a gold loan of
$2O0,OO0,00O.
May Kill Conference.
Information that the United States
would not be officially represented at
the proposed debt conference which
may be held sometime in Decem-
Der. 1t is quite possible that refusal
on the part of the United States to
participate officially may knock the
proposal into a cooked hat. However
in the event of Coolidge being elected,
the administration may decide to send
an official representative instead of
an unofficial observer as is now plan
ned.

of the Van Nicer, Foster-Sweeney and
Dakota-Montana wells has been re-
ported to everybody interested in the
oil industry, and Mr.. Crumley said
that he believed it would mean the
opening up of an extensive drilling
campaign within a few weeks.
