Ln1periaHsts of
Little Entente
FeorLaborR Rule


BELGRADE.-The Little Entente
conference here, attended by Jugo-
slavian, Czechoslovakiash and Ruman-
ian delegates, was dominated by a
discussian of the Russian question.
Italy's recent approach to Moscow is
leading the Jugoslavian government,
the other great Adriatic power, to ex-
tend feelers towards the East. A
Serbian plenipotentiary has been ne
gotiating with Russian spokesman
in Berlin.
Besides the military treaty just
concluded between CZechoslovakia
and France, political alliance, the
terms of which are secret, is also in
force between these countries. II
is known, however, that the primary
purpose of all these agreements
TO maintain the Status quo, serritoFl3
ally and politically, among the new
states. In view of the strong sent1
ment in labor and liberal quarters in
favor of a revision Of the peace
treaties, the Franco-Czech commit
ments are. generally branded as re-
dictionary.
Propaganda from the Little En-
tente capitals is now directed to-
wards convincing the British Labor
Party of the harmlessness of the ex-
listing treaties.

}ORAH PROBE TO
FIGHT ATTACK ON
CIVIL LIBERTIES
Idaho Senator to Hear
About Pittsburgh


WASHINGTON.-As soon as the
senate ends its investigation of the
Russian question it will be con-
fronted with a demand for an in
vestigation of the extent to which
civil liberties are violated thruout
the country.
Senator William e. Borah, of Ida
no, has introduced a resolution
timed at putting a stop to the pres
ent orgy of the violation of consti-
tutional rights by officers of the
government. The bill provides that
any officer Of the United States
government or any of its subdivi-
sions found guilty of violating the
civil rights or aiding in the viola
ton of the constitutional rights
shall be punished by a fine not ex-
ceeding $4,000 or Imprisonment not
exceeding ten years or both.
This bill is of particular impor-
lance now because of the continued
outrages of the civil rights of the
workers of Western Pennsylvania,
where the Labor Defense and Free
Speech Council is engaged in a des-
perate struggle against the Steel
and Coal Trust attempts to rail-
road Workers Party members to
jail. Senator Borah is interested in
getting to the bottom Of the Pitts
burgh-McKeesport situations, where
Workers Party members have been
arrested and are facing trial.
Monday, Jan. 81, Andrew T. Nc
Namara, Pittsburgh District Council
President of the international Asso-
citation of Machinists and Chairman
Of the American Federation of La
Dor Section of the Labor Defense
and Free Speech Council of Western
Pennsylvania; Fred H. Merrick, one
of the indicted workers, and Dis
trict Organizer of the Workers Party
in Pittsburgh, and Jay Lovestone,
who was arrested along with Mer-
rick, Robert w. Dunn, of the Civil
Liberties Union, and others in the
recent free speech fights in Nc
Keesport, will see Senator Borah and
lay before him all the evidence of
the gross violations Of the civil
rights. of the workers in this state.
Senator Borah is preparing to
force congressional action on the
whole case.

FIREMEN PROMISE
SOLONS
DIZZY FEELIN C
Will Fight for $500 Pay
Raise

Firemen who are petitioning the
city council for a raise of $500 a
year met an obstacle in the report
of the city budget staff which rec
ommends that no increase in wages
be granted policemen and firemen.
D. ]. Sullivan, Secretary Of the
Firemen's Association, said that un-
less council grants the increase
asked, the Firemen's Association
would put up such campaign for
it that the councilmen would be
compelled to pay attention to their
demands.
Efficiency is all right, but we are
asking this raise out Of necessity.
Living costs are going up. We
must get the raise if our standard
of living is not going to drop. The
response we have gotten from the
public whom we asked to sign our
petitions for a raise shows that they
are with US.
eve will put up campaign that
will make the politicians heads swim
if we are refused a raise" he said.
Last year we had enough council
men lined up to assure us raise.
Just before a vote on the question
certain councilmen who were sup
posed to be with US went out so
that when the vote was taken our
request for a raise was defeated.
"If that happens again we will
start our campaign all over again
and make the council realize we
mean business"

household management declares that
the women do So per cent OF the buy

tate man OF Philadelphia recently as
serted that the wife is the deciding
factor in 81 per cent OF home purch-
ases. In that position there is a genu-
