Armenian. Mu.t Unite.

The DAILY Worker" of Jan. ID,
carried an appeal issued by the Cen
trail Executive Committee of the
Party to the Armenian Communists
of this country calling upon them to
unite and discontinue their fractional
controversies. The position of the
Central Executive Committee has
since been upheld by the Comintern.
Comrade Samaritan, who is leading one
Of the factions, appealed to the Com
intern against the decision of the
Party. The Comintern, acting upon
this appeal, replied by cable-"Sun-
arian must return to Party work and
await resolutions of the Comintern. :"
The Central Executive Committee
of the Party has therefore instructed
Comrade Samaritan to Immediately
take his place in the Bureau of Ar
menian Federation of the Workers
Party and informed him that should
he persist in his activities in endeav-
oring to split the organization of the
Armenian workers in this country he
will not only be violating discipline
of the Central Executive Committee
Of the Workers Party but also the dis

BOOZE FIRE TRAPS COPS
Enforcers Have Narrow Escape When
Contraband Liquor Catches Fire
During Raid

Marc Buckland, Federal Prohibition
Agent, and five Syracuse, N. Y, police
officers narrowly escaped death on De-
cember IA when trapped by fire during a
raid on a garage in the city, in which
contraband liquor valued at $4,000 was
seized. The fire started when the raiders
poured out the liquor on the second floor
and the stream of liquid gushing down
the stairway suddenly burst into flames
from some unexpected cause. Some of
the men made their escape by jumping
from window on the second floor and
others escaped through the dense smoke
and sitting fumes through the rear en-
trance.

AUSTRIAN PRESIDENT A DRY
His Reelection Aid to Temperance
Progress, Which Is Admittedly
Slow; Education Needed

The parliament of the republic of Aus
tria will meet December to elect pres
ident. The term OF office, like that in
America, is four years, and president
may be reelected but once.
DR. Michael Hainisch is president. 1t
is believed he will be reelected. 1t is un-
derstood he is ready TO serve four years
more, and that there is little opposition
to him.
DR.. Hainisch is a total abstaincr from
Intoxicating liquors. He is counted as
leader in temperance reform, and contin-
uance of his service in the presidency
would mean much to Austrian efforts
against the liquor traffic.
Admittedly, the progress is slow. 1t is,
according to the president, matter of
education. Two years ago the republic
passed its first law on the subject. Under
ID intoxicants cannot be sold to children
under 10. The drys attempted to make
the age limit Is. but they were defeated
by the combined efforts of the owners of
vineyards. No other measure has since
been brought forward, but DIR. Hainisch
believes local option will come in time,
and that added restrictions against the
liquor traffic will be adopted.
Recently while in Austria Pussyfoot
Johnson was the dinner guest of Presi-
