MUCH WORK TO DO
Minot, Oct. 8.--There is much
threshing to be done in northwestern
North Dakota and misty rain which
has been falling here today will
further delay the work. There is as
much as rs percent of the threshine
still to be done in many sections
while in few parts practically nc
thrcshing at all has been done. In
other areas the work is PRACTICAL,
complete.
There has been fairly good sup.
ply of harvest hands here, but idle
men are beginning to drift out, al
though there seems to still be a good
supply. There have been no reports
of damage from sprouted grains re.
ceived here.

Negro Has ScOrn
For Headers" Who
Opposed UniOnisnl

To The DAILY WORKER: The
Negro Press Association at its re-
cent convention, held at Nashville,
Tenn, passed a resolution, backing
up Coolidge and calling upon the
negroes in the United States to re-
sist all forms of unionism and econ
omic radicalism, and to support capt.
talism.
In other words these negro leaders
advised their Race, of whom 90 per
cent are wage workers and poor
farmers not to form unions or other
organizations to fight for living
wages, shorter hours and to improve
their economic and social status, but
to be submissive slaves to the Amer
lean capitalists.
The cowardly and treacherous ac-
tions of the frock coated Charlatans
and gum shoe politicians is without
precedent.
Even the capitalists themselves
must look upon these Bonded knee,
fiattering tongued and crying soul
fake negro leaders with scorn and
contempt.-Gordon w. Owens, Chi

To reporter for the DAILY

Morrison to inquire about Sophie
Altschuler, the picket who was
black-jaeked by police thug Fri
day afternoon, and is still confined
to bed, Vice-president Meyer PERL

police brutality was mot able to
stop them from doing what they
believed to be their duty.

are being arrested Wholesale know
their devotion is not in vain. He
told of twenty-five girls being ar
rested at a time, day by day, some
of them beaten, but they are un-
daunted. Their idea is that it IL
better to work for the success of
the strike, even tho they are arr
rested, than to sit at home and let
the strike be defeated and find
themselves going back to work at
the vicious sweat shop scab eondi-
tiOns they have determined TO end.

POincGre Face s Big
Fight in The Senate;
Franc RecOUerS Little

PARIS, March 1.-THE 100000
900 thrown into the French treasury
momentarily stopped the downward
dive Of the franc and encouraged
Poincare to continue his obstinate
fight for victory in the senate on
his proposition for authority to
make laws governing immediate
economies and fiscal measures by
simple DEGREES without ratification by
parliament.
Poincare is now facing the fight
of his life in the senate. The opinion
in government circles is that he will
win by a majority of five or six
votes, bat his supporters are grad
ually deserving him. 1t is believed
that the artificial stimulation of the
franc will have only a temporary eff
feet, and that the hundred million
dollar loan was made on the assur-
ances that he would win in the
senate.
That the Poincare forces have little
hope of victory, however, is evil
denced by their estimate of victory
with only four or five votes to spare.
IOlHCdIc SIdLSu 10 Inc senate JnaJ
the Ruhr occupation last year Melted
French business 650,0O0,000 francs
and this year would bring three bill
Ion francs. OF this France would
take 50 per cent; the rest would 90
to the Allies.
! Poincare boosted that General,
Dawes, of Chicago, one of the Amer
lean experts, justified the Ruhr oc-
cupation, and he expressed hope that
the Preparations committee would
bring about a settlement. He also
praised Ramsay MacDonald's attitude
of loyalty to France.
The Belgian franc is very nervous
and King Albert has signifed his
willingness to head society for the
support of the Belgian franc. Euro
pean exchange is contracting the
malady that sent the mark to perdi-
ton, even the Danes being obliged
to take heroic measures for the de-
Tense of their currency.

Revolutions Don't
Stop Oil GusherS
In Mexican Republic
.By ELLA G. WOLFE



MEXICO CITY, March 16.-Uncle
Sam has a real nose for oil. That
explains his very friendly interest
in Mexico. You push button in
Mexico and out comes an oil gusher.
On the oil lands belonging to the
Transcontinental Oil Company, in
the state of Vera Cruz, a rev gusher
was discovered on Feb. II. 1t has
a depth Of 564 meters and an initial
daily production Of ATT cubic meters.
On the lands Of the Corona COM
pany (Holland-Mexican) a new gusher
was discovered on Feb. 19. II has
a depth Of $50 meters with an initial
daily production Of 10 cubic meters.
This is only sample days report.
In the United States there is con-
slant talk Of the fact that the oil
companies here have stopped produc-
ton, also that the oil fields are de-
teriorating, or that the revolution
has made production impossible.
This is probably an attempt to raise
oil prices and counteract the price
lowering of the 400,000,000 barrels
Of oil now in the United States.

and his associates got SOS, 00O.
Daugherty advised "Jap" Muma, Ed.
McLean's representative in the fight
picture deal, when the pictures were
shown to the Harding administration
in McLean's house, to see Attorney
Alfred r. Urion of Chicago, formerly
lawyer for Armour and Company for
methods to dodge the law.
Little Profit in Chicago
The pictures were shown in Chi
cago, but so heavy was the rake-off
that there was very little profit.
The scheme, Matched by the
Daugherty Department of Justice
crowd, was to show the pictures, pay
a fine of $1,000 and continue to ex-
hibit them pending, further interior
ence on the part of the Department
Of Justice.
Captain Baldwin, former depart
ment of justice agent, testified that
he was forced out because of his
activity against law violators. I'm
der attorney generals Palmer and
Flynn, the department of justice car
ried on the same policy as under the
present administration, he claimed.
Agents who took their tasks seriously
soon found themselves out in the
cold. Since Daugherty came into
office, he was warned by the attorney
general to cease his activities in in
vestigating federal district attorneys
and other department of justice OH
cials in Texas. Baldwin was finally
forced out.
Captain Baldwin told how William
Hanson, a close friend of Albert B.
Fall, went to the Mexican border in
1922 to- foment revolution. Han
son is now immigration inspector
along the border and is still busy
aiding Mexican counter-revolution-
aries, Baldwin continued.
Joseph Klingsbury, a political boss
of Texas, wanted Baldwin to make
an investigation with view to black
mail Of those involved with DR.. Cook
of Fort Worth in the oil fields, but
Captain Baldwin refused.
Federal agents were told not to
nay any attention to violations of the
| liquor laws along the Mexican Dor
der, testified Captain Baldwin. He
even caught dry agent selling a still
to bootlegger.
F. c. Quimby, the New York fight
picture promoter, testified that Jesse
Smith, Daugherty's crime partner
had an interest in the contract be
tween Tex Richard and others for the
distribution of the pictures. Richard
vigorously denied that he had any
thing to do with the pictures a few
days ago.

.LENIN'S WIDOW
DEvOTES SELF TO
HOMELESS KIDS
Thousands of Orphans
In Distress
By JEssICA SMITH.

(stan Correspondent Of The Federated Press)
MOSCOW, March 16th.-Notwith-
standing her great personal grief,
and the intense strain she has under
gone during the past few weeks,
Krupskaya, Lenin's wife, has not
only remained at her post, but
thrown herself with more vigor than
ever into the educational work Of the
government.
She is giving her life to caring
for the thousands Of homeless chill
dren who still ride back and forth
over Russia struggled away in trains
or wander from villege to village,
or throng the streets of the cities
wild little creatures who have gone
thru the unspeakable scenes and
events that accompany war and ia
mine, and who, if they are not cared
for, become hardened little criminals,
opium fiends, child bandits.
In accordance with Krupskaya's re-
quest, money that would have beer
spent on memorials to Eenin is being
gathered instead into a fund to AGre
for these children.
In her latest ARTICLE Krupskaya
speaks on the necessity of adequate
material help for these children. But
the material help is only the begin
ming. They must be taught, she says,
to live well, to feel themselves real
citizens of the republic. The desire
to study and to work must be
awakened in them.
With the little children the prob
lem is not so difficult. Better chill
dren's homes must be established for
them, and special attention must be
directed toward making them strong
and healthy.
But with the older children whose
lives have been shattered, who have
developed into independent little
hooligans, some begging, stealing,
and knocking about, the problem is
more complicated. 1t Is difficult to
win their confidence, to confine them
to a regulated existence, and it has
been almost impossible to keep such
children satisfied in the regular in
stitutions.
The way in which Krupskaya is
urging that this problem he handled
is first of all, to provide shelter and
food for these youngsters, by way of
night lodgings, community homes,
general dining rooms, not with the
idea of forcing them into institutions,
but where they will come of their
own free will. Then around these
lodgings and dining rooms all kinds
of work and play will be built up
with the idea of gradually attracting
the childrens' interest. Thru story
telling and reading the children will
gradually be drawn into creative
work. Regular courses will be built
up, where the children will be able
to learn trade, along with the ele-
mentary education most Of them
have missed.
At the present time most of the
work of caring for the homeless chill
dren in Moscow is being carried on
by some 1000 students of the peda-
gogical courses, who receive no pay
at all for this work. Many more
workers in this field are needed.
In order to make it possible for
these children to earn their living
Krupskaya suggests that special CO.
operation is needed from the trade
unions.

TRAITOR EBERT
EXTENDS RULE OF
TYRANT GENERALS
Estate of Emergency"
Continued Is Days
BY LOUIS P. LOcHCNER.
(StaH Correspondent Of The Federated Pressl


BERLIN, Mar. 16.-Dictator Hans
Won Seeckt, has decided that Germany
no longer needs to be governed by
generals. In a letter to President
Ebert he states that the "state of
emergency which officially existed
since Sept. &c, and which was given
an especially sharp Interpretation by
the appointment of Seeckt as dictator
on Nov. 8, is now over.
''My mission has been fulfilled, 4"
says the general; "the authority of
the state has been so established that
the recovery of our civic and indus
trial life, initiated during the state of
emergency, can now take place with
out the latter"
What the Generals Did.
Under the government by gen.
erals" the eight-hour day has been
virtually made a myth, the trade un-
ions have been made powerless.
Twenty per cent Of the population
are suffering from unemployment due
to the recovery" process of dismiss
ing employees right and left. The
Communist party has been made ille-
gal, likewise the extreme nationalist
Voelkische party. And capitalism is
enthroned in Germany as it has never
been before, as the dictator says
''My mission has been fulfilled"
Nevertheless President Ebert, who
still counts himself a Socialist despite
the fact that his own trade union has
excluded him and that his district has
moved his exclusion from the Social.
list party, will wait 10 days before
allowing the suggestion of the general
that the state of emergency end i'm,
mediately.
Too Much TO-. Vorwaerts.-
This is too strong medicine for the
Berlin Vorwaerts, organ of the Ma
jority Socialists, which has hitherto
defended Ebert thru thick and thin
The Vorwaerts comments as follows
"The cancellation of the militar,
state of emergency is long due ant
overdue. 1t should have taken place
Just as soon as it became apparen
that it was ineffective as an instru
ment against the Bavarian reaction.
Ebert on his part has sent an eff
fusive letter Of appreciation to tn
general, thanking him for "reestab
fishing safety and security in tn
fatherland."
The one thing for which the who'll
military action was ostensibly set II
motion, namely as an antidote Z
Bavaria, has failed miserably. Tn
monarchistic and nationalistic ele
ments Of Germany still find Bavari'
their haven Of rest. General vol
Lessow, who openly defed the fedora
government and even tried to per
suade generals in other districts :
mutiny, still continues to draw fed
eral pay and the Bavarian state as
sembly in which the motion for end
ing the state Of emergency decreed b
the Bavarian government for tn
state, is defeated over the votes o
the Democrats, Socialists and Com
munists.
