That question is being asked more
and more disgustedly by his opponents
as Cautious Cal" stays inside the big
iron fence of the White House
grounds, and invites crowds of pill
grims to trample down the grass and
wear out the floors of the official resi-
dence. Photographers and radio en-
gineers keep him before the public as
constantly identified with the White
House. His campaign advisers have
discovered that with president, as
with hereditary royalty. there is au.
thority drawn from the mere fact of
being seen and heard against a pala.
tial background.
The fact is that not even Theodore
Roosevelt ever used the executive
mansion as a political sounding board,
nor did Woodrow Wilson ever think
of employing it as a rostrum, as Cool
idge is doing. They went out among
the voters, and their party committees
hired the halls. The political race was
made from scratch. Coolidge insists
upon the handicap start. 1t impresses
the crowd, he believes. and gives him
a pretext for refusal to be heckled on
his record.

SOLDIERS fire ON
TAMpICO WORKERS
STRIKE is CALLED
All Unions Aroused by
Atrocious Act

Especial to the DAILY WORKER.)
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 5.-Dispatches
from Tampico report that a serious
situation has arisen from an encount-
er between a federal detachment
guarding the Mexican Gulf Petroleum
terminal and striking workers. AS a
result a general strike is threatened
with a demonstration by workmen
which, it is feared, may lead to an
other sanguinary clash.
According to the official report Of
the captain commanding the troops,
a group of strikers approached the
company's terminal. The troops fired
on the strikers and the latter retail
ated. Two soldiers were severely
wounded and many we're slightly in
jured, while numerous strikers were
also wounded.
While the fight was going on three
launches containing more strikers
came down the river to aid their com
panions, but the troops formed along
the bank and prevented them from
landing.
The labor unions in Tampico have
telegraphed to President Obregon,
protesting against the action of the
military, and the atmosphere is now
so charged that the proposed demon
stration is causing apprehension
among the business element in Tam
pico.

TAFT'S COURT
HEARS ATTACK
ON The MINERS
Davis Appeared Last
Time for Mine Owners
(Ry Federated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.
Once more the U. S. supreme
court is to hear arguments on
the famous Coronado Coal Co.
suit for damages against the
United Mine Workers of Amer
lea.
Two years ago the court de-
cided that the lower courts
were wrong in holding the yen-
eral organization Of the United
Mine Workers of America re-
sponsible for damage done dur
ing a strike, conducted by Local
Union No. 81 in the Arkansas
field, to properties of the COM
pany and to its business.
Kicked Back and Forth.
The supreme court held that the
company had not shown that the
strike was called in order to inter-
fere with interstate commerce, and
hence it was a case for the state
courts.
Going to back to the lower court,
the Coronado concern argued that it
had gathered new evidence showing
such conspiracy to interfere with in
terstate commerce by means of the
strike of some years previous. The
lower court decided against the com
pany, which has now appealed. 1t
claims that Local Union No. 81 itself
violated federal antitrust laws by OBJ
structing the mining Of coal.
Million Dollars Tied Up.
Over s1,0O0,0O of the funds of the
United Mine Workers of America
were tied up for years by the damage
claim involved in the first suit. John
W. Davis appeared before the supreme
court as counsel for the company, the
last time the issue was argued.

DARK PROSPECTS
FOR FARMERS IN
GOLDEN WEST"
Mass Meetings Protest
Against Debt Plan
BY n. M. BARTHOLOMEW.


Especial to The DAILY WORkER.)
SASKATOON, Sask., Oct. 5.-The
reception of the debt adjustment plan
of the Farmers Union of Canada by
the provincial government of Sas.
katchewan, has met with quick re-
Spouse from the rank and file of the
farmers. Mass meetings have been
held in many places to protest against
this rotten tactic of the farmer" gov
eminent. The farmers are boiling
with indignation.
Desperate Situation.
The situation among the farmers of
"the golden west" is desperate. Debts
are mounting and seizures will soon
become the order of the day. And in
this desperate plight the farmers are
demanding immediate action to pro-
tect Themselves from the invasion of
predato, , interests. In this fight the
Sturgis Lodge of the Farmers Union
is taking the lead by circularizing all
lodges of the union with the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas, we, the members of the
Sturgis local of the Farmers Union
of Canada, are in no way satisfied
with any plan of debt adjustment
that has to date been published;
And whereas we are especially dis
satisfied with the plan outlined in
"The Western Producer" under date
of September IS, 1924;
To Protect Agriculture.
And whereas the time has come
when definite plan of action must
be in readiness in order to protect
the agricultural industry during the
present season;
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
the members of the Farmers Union
of Canada, go on record as favoring
the use Of organized resistance to
hinder any or all who purpose max
ing seizures, carrying on foreclosures
etc, until living wage OF $500 per
of land shall have been
secured; as has been laid down by
the members Of the Farmers Union
Of Canada in their annual convention;
In the case Of organized resistance
we beg to make the following sug-
gestions:
l. The broadcasting OF the demands
Of the union by means of speeches,
articles, leaflets and posters;
2. Appeals to all farmer and labor
organizations asking for help;
B. Definite organizational work
among the farmers with a view to
mass resistance.
There is every reason to believe
that this appeal will meet with
ready response from the organized
farmers Of the debt.ridden west of
Canada.

Hundreds of others have been SINH

every single general officer who
served in France-where he dined,
whom he dined with, what they talked
about, and, in the case it was a
woman. whereof at all-he left her
after dinner was over. The most in
innate personal details are officially
collected and filed away in a file
that could conceivably be of use only
to a blackmailer. This is what the
mania for espionage leads to.
