day testified that he had delivered

KANSAS SCHOOLS

Segregation Receives Big
Set Back.

COFFEYVILLE, Kan, April a.
Immediately upon the publication of
the recent court decision here
against the segregation of Negro chill
dren in Kansas schools, many towns
in the state opened their doors to
colored pupils for the first time.
In Wichita the colored children had
been denied the use of the swimming
pool and other advantages. The
Board of Education has now wiped
out all discrimination, according to
Elisha Scott of Scott and Vandyne,
attorneys who handled the case for
the National Assoc. for the Advance
ment of Colored People.
NEW YORK, April 22.-According
to the school reports from Georgia re
ceived by the National Association

that they would not return to
the picket line until their cases
are disposed of.
Evidently afraid to face the issue,
clearly put before him by the DAILY
WORKER, Judge Foell's postpone
ments are looked on as an attempt to
escape the odium which the DAILY
WORKER has been heaping on him
as the employers Injunction Judge"
Turns to Jury Trial.
The evidence is completed in the
cases of the first group of 10 strikers
who appeared before Foell last week.
Altho all the witnesses have been
heard and the cases would have been
quickly completed yesterday morning
with the summing up of the two law
yers, Judge Foell declined to finish
the cases, pleading he had jury trial
which was more important.
Twelve more cases come up before
Judge Sullivan this morning. These
are the first cases of the strikers
which have come before Donnie"
since his vacation. Hyman Brothers
are bringing the charges against the
strikers before Judge Sullivan, and
Leo lie Bosky will be their lawyer.
The cases brought by the Graceline
Dress Company, which are in the
hands of Dudley Taylor, and the
cases of the Francine Frock Com.
pany, with Charles Hyde as the at
torney, have also been postponed un-
til April 29, by Judge Foell.
Gunner Assault Striker.

Of the garment bosses increased their

away. Four other strikers. out auto

on absolutely groundless charges, re
ported to have been brought by hang
ers-on OF States Attorney Robert e
Grove. They were indicted by the
grand jury.

When this statement was made to
the strikers at their mass meeting,
one of the men spontaneously broke
out with That's the system they've
been using to get every drop of blood

And then another striker chimed in
with: "And now they are trying to

Go En- Masse For Wages.
This morning, April 23rd, is pay
day in the Pullman plant, and the
strikers are going en- masse to get
what is coming to them. The Pull
man workers are paid twice each
month. The 500 strikers planned yes
terday to meet this morning at 1880
o'clock at the corner of Cottage Grove
Avenue and 111th ST., and march to-
gether to the paymaster's Office.
They are going in body to get
their wages as precaution against
the company officials trying to deal
with the strikers individually.
Hegewisch Strike Grows.
The strike at Hegewisch is still
on, with new men joining the ranks
hourly, the same as in Pullman.
1t is reported that many other de-
partments in the huge car works, in
addition, to those which the strikers
left, have been crippled by the strike,
so that thousands of workers are idle
as result. In fact, production in
the whole plant is gradually coming
to a standstill.

the Belgian franc is not due TO

The amount of the Morgan credits

Taking up first the scandals,
Mr.. Coolidge said their genesis
lay in the "easy money! era be-
gotten of the war and declared
that it was not surprising some
government officials had been cor
rupted.
"From all of this sordidness, the
affairs of government, of course,
suffered" said the president. "In
some of it a few public officers
were guilty participants. But the
wonder is not that this was so
much or so many, rather than il
has been so little and so few. The
encouraging thing at present is
the evidence of a well-nigh com
plete return to normal methods of
action and sane public opinion"
Law of Service"
Bloc and minorities must not expect
his help, the president said, in raid
ing the public treasury for money to
carry out their projects. Declaring
that bill now before congress for pro
jects backed by minorities would spell
financial disaster to the nation II
their $4,000, 100000 total was appro
priated, he said:
"The law Of service must be ap
piled to this situation. At present
our country does not need a greater
outlay of expense, but a greater ap
plication Of constructive economy"
He made in this connection a pass
ing reference to the bonus but did
not reveal his attitude on the insur
ance plan bonus bill now in it's final
stages in congress.
On taxes the president criticized
congress for its failure "up to the
present time accurately to compre
bend and expeditiously to minister to
the need of taxation REFORM" but
said he believed in spite of this there
would be tax reduction. He assailed
the opponents of the Mellon plan
who, he said, were assuming the
country wanted to evade the law Of
service and sought the benefits Of
government without paying for thai
government.
Sticks With Rich.
He said the idea that taxes on the
great mass Of the people could be cu
and more taxes extracted from the
rich was an unavoidable principle.
He assured his hearers that fun
damentally America is sound, its gov
eminent is in honest hands and III

ayers and employees, Representatives

Turning then to foreign affairs, the
president, after repeating that the

high tribute to Secretary Hughes fol-
initiating the idea OF the experts con

Mr.. Coolidge than warmly urged
that American bankers make a
large loan to Germany, to assure
complete success Of the Dawes plan.

abroad than piled up at home, he
said, emphasizing again the need Of

woman evidently unframed in
financial affairs went into the Office
of a prominent investment banking
house the other day and told the
manager she had $4,000 in Liberty
bonds on which she thought she was
not receiving a high enough return.
She said she wanted to sell these
bonds and buy some other security.
Under a little tactful questioning
the investment banker found that the
$4,000 represented her entire capital.
He told her in the first place that
there was nothing SO good as a Lib
erty bond and urged her not to dis
turb her holdings. She would not
listen to him, however, and so he

thought investors were willing to
pay prices for good bonds so high
that the return would be only or
5h per cent. Because. they are
fools,'' she replied and Indignantly
f1ounced out of the office.
The lady was wrong. 1t is not the
fools who buy high grade security,
but the wise. She doubtless found
some less conscientious adviser who
was willing to let her take chances
with her small capital and probably to
her sorrow. 1t is one of the mysteries
of human nature that when people
come to sell Liberty bonds in order
to buy something else that will in
crease their income they want TO
jump at once from the safest invest
ment in all the world to one which
at best is more or less speculative.
If you must make the change, and
it is not always advisable, take some
thing that does not make too violent
a contrast. Five per cent is gem
erous return on high grade invest
ment at this time.

COFFEE IN U. S. Will
LAST THREE MONTHS
Brazil Outbreak Has Not Yet Cut
Off Shipments-New
Crop Ready.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispa tch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 14.-"Even if the
political outbreak in Sac Paulo, Bra
zil, grows more serious than the most
recent cables indicate, the American
coffee drinker may find comfort in
, the fact that there is at least a
three-month supply of coffee avail
able for the United States, according
to Felix Coste, secretary of the Ma
tional Coffee Roasters' Association
1T is estimated that there is about
sixty-day supply in the hands of
American wholesalers. The visible
supply also includes 355,799 bags of
Brazilian and 404,242 bags of mild
coffee in American warehouses and
627 400 bags of Brazilian coffee afioat
TO this country. At the present rate
of consumption (roughly, 100000 bags
a month) this total in warehouse and
afloat of 1,3S7,441 bags represents an
additional month and one-haIfs sup
ply. A cable states that Santos is
safely in the hands of the govern
ment forces. If this situation con-
tinues shipments from that port will
probably continue as long as the sup
ply lasts. The same likelihood of
continued shipments holds good for
Rio.
IF the outbreak spreads this coun-
try will find itself deprived of its
principal coffee source. For the past
two years Brazil has been building
big interior coffee warehouses capa-
bic of holding 100000 bags. These
warehouses contain not only 3,000,0
bags of the old coffee crop, but such
portion of the new crop as had been
harvested when the outbreak began.
Naturally, the contents of these ware
houses Is not available as long as
railroad traffic is interrupted"
