BAVARIA AND BERLIN
GROW MORE FRIENDLY
Retirement Of Won Kahr and von
Lossow Aid to Cordial
Relations.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
BERLIN, February 1s.-ofcial and
political circles in Berlin are inclined
to view the voluntary retirement Of
Won Kahr and Won Lossow from their
high Offices at Munich as presaging
the dawn Of more cordial relations
between the central and Bavarian
governments. But no concealment is
made at government headquarters OF
apprehensions with respect to the
outcome Of the Hitler-Ludendorff trial
and its Immediate effect upon the
trend Of the future political situation
In Bavaria.
Most OF the negotiations, which ul-
timately led to Dictator Won KahTs
resignation. were conducted by Presi-
dent Ebert and Gen. Won Seeckt,
while the central government leaders
were equally Industrious in using
their personal influence with the Ba-
varian leaders in the direction of &C
complishing a more amicable working
understanding between Berlin and
Munich.
Fears that the trial OF Hitler and
Ludendorfr are likely to embarrass
the central government with regard
to it's foreign relations are freely
voiced in many quarters. and this
prospect is prompting informal ef-
forts on the part Of the Marx gov
erument to persuade the Munich au-
thorities to avoid risk OF serious
eruptions in connection with the trial
of the. Bavarian fascist. This feel
ing also Is literally shared In Rava-
rian official quarters and It Is not
improbable that the trial will be
postponed or will be held in an at
mosphere Of rigid privacy.
While q section Of the press a..
sumes that with the retirement Of
DIR. Won Kahr the full truth about
ton will become known, there Is q
strong feeling of concern over what
might happen II the Bavarian spe-
cial court passed sentence on. Gen.

Pacifists Seek $4,000
To Influence Elections
Organizations Born out of Hostility to A. of L. asks Big
Fund for Use in Propaganda, Claiming Forty Organi-
cations Back Program Though Many Are Not Pacfists
By international Labor News Service.

By international Labor News Service
Washington, d. C.-Organized pa
cifists, with headquarters in Washing
ton, want to raise $69,855 for pacifst
propaganda. This is in addition to
$11 ,525 already raised to cover admin
istration costs.
This campaign is being carried or
in the name of the national council
for the prevention of war. This or
ganization came into being during the
disarmament conference in opposition
to the disarmament committee formed
under the leadership of the American
Federation of Labor because the la
Dor committee was not a pacifst
committee.
The money now asked for is largely
for use in the coming campaign for
the election of senators AMI congress
men who will back the pacifist pro
gram.
The program calls for speakers ''fo1
900 meetings and help in co-ordi-
mating the peace work of 40 Ameri.
can organizations" 1t calls also fol
research workers" and publicity sec.
retaries, as well as legislative ane
educational" campaigners. In addi.
tion, an advertising campaign to be
paid for by local groups is planned.
The paciist headquarters publishes
list of forty participating organiza-
tions" and cooperating organiza-
tions," many of which have no pacifist
leanings whatever, but oil of which
are made to appear as sponsoring the
pacifist work of the national council
for the prevention of war
The methods used are in accord
with the most approved interlocking
directorate methods of the whole
parlor pink and pacifst propaganda,
with small central group propa-
gandizing in the name of great or
ganizations which may or may not
know what is being done in their
name.
The American Federation of Labor
has from the first refused to have any
relation with the national council for
the prevention of war, although So
licitations of the most eager nature
were made Immediately following the
conclusion of the disarmament con
ference. 1t was represented at that

HIGH STEEL
PROFITS STOP
WAGE REDUCTION

New York.-Will some one please
show the steel trust how wages can
be cut when profits are smashing all
records?
Southern manufacturers of pig
iron have cut wages 1917 per cent
and the same cut is enforced in the
Connellsville (Pa.) coke district.
Wages in the steel trade were
slightly raised last year when the II
and II hour day were abolished, but
a return to the old rates is out of the
question because of profits 1t is ex-
pected that the steel trust will show a
net gain of more than $50,000,000 for
the last three months. While the un-
organized workers in the pig iron in
dustry have waged no strike in recent
years, the nationwide steel strike and
it's monumental cost to the trust is
still recalled by those who think, but
do not talk, wage reductions.

Radio Campaign Opens
In Mexico As Struggle
For Presidency Begins

By international Labor News Service.
Mexico City.-Radio is for the first
time playing part in Mexican poll
tics in the campaign now getting
under way for the presidency of the
republic.
Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales, former
minister of fomento, and recently re-
signed from the army, sent out the
first campaign speech from the big
Mexico City radio station-a station
from which President Obregon could
if he wished, talk direct to President
Coolidge in the White House at Wash
ington. In this speech Gales prom
ised reconstruction work and a Sound
spirit of nationalism" in the event of
his election.
81 firmly believe" said Gen. Gales,
in his radio speech, "that the consti
tuition of 1917 responds to the funda-
mental needs of the country, and
that it's honest and strict enforce
ment, not as an instrument of de-
struction, NUT Of collective improve

some of our great social problems.
We also aspire to the improvement
of our poor classes do not intend to
desroy property and wealth, but we
do believe that the standards of liv-
ing obtained by the working people
in other civilized countries should
be definitely established in Mexico,
thus liberating millions of Mexicans
from their pitiful living conditions.
