LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COTT TO RUTH BURKE,
CONTINUED.

I could stand it no longer, Ruth.
1 drew from my bosom, where it
had burned ever since 1 had worn
It there. that anonymous letter and
handed it to my mother.
Mother, the day before came
home. Jack received this letter
anonymously. OF course, he was
very indignant You could not
blame him for being so. You re-
member those beads, do you not,
that Alice gave me when 1 was
married? Well, it seems they were
real pearls that Karl had collected
for me-
Then 1 told her the whole story
from beginning to end. only leaving
out that part of it where I sold
some of them to get Jack out Of
trouble. I determined to tell mother
about that some time, but 1 was
lust as much determined that Alice
should not know it. Although 1
might never live with my husband
again, I would not allow anyone in
the world to say anything derogatory
to him, or even think it.
Mother read the letter in silence.
Who knew about this besides
Karl?" she asked quickly.
alice, of course, as she helped to
make the plan so that Karl could
give them to me. She also knew
of the blackmailing scheme. when 1
found out the pearls We're real, some
time after I was married"
Does. anyone else know about
thern?''
Ruth Ellington Burke, to whom
I went in my troubles and now
Jack"
Who do you think sent this let
ter?" asked mother.
"Oh, of course I know who she
thinks sent it," broke in Alice. "She
thinks I sent it."
I turned on her like a flash.
well, didn't you send it?"
''You have no right to ask me
that question" she evaded.
'I have every right in the world, !"
answered. Then, Ruth. did
terrible thing. 1 went up to her
and taking her by the shoulders, I
shook her violently, saying:
Tell me the truth. You needn't
think you are going to stand there
and ruin my life just for the sake
of your foolish jealousy"
Mother tried to come between us,
but I wouldn't let her. I was be.
side myself by this time, and when
I came to myself I found that 1 was
shaking my sister until her teeth
ratified.
Don't don't" she whimpered.
You hurt me. Mother. are you
going to let Leslie abuse me in this
way?''
At this I let her go so violently
that she dropped to the floor and
lay there crying and moaning and
making a great fuss.
ITO think that my daughters
should be doing a thing like this"
ITO think that your daughter
would do such a think as write an
anonymous letter" I said.
''Who has been writing anony-
nous letters?" said a voice at the
door, and we looked up to find Karl
Whitney.

GOMPERS STUDIES
UNITY MOVES OF
WORLDS TOILERS
Moscow and Amsterdam
Negotiating
CBy The Federated Prsss)

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is-American
Federation of Labor officials are keep
Eng an eye on the efforts now being
made to secure merger OF the Mos
COW, or Red, International Federation
Of Labor Unions, with the Inter
national Federation Of Trade Unions
which has its headquarters in Am
sterdam. One of the most interesting
developments, from the American
view, is the proposal that the British
labor movement shall act as the go
between for the Moscow and Amster-
dam bodies. Conclusion Of the Russo
British treaties has quickened British
hopes that the respective labor bodies
may likewise come to terms Of peace
and cooperation.
Irish Stand Aloof
But in Ireland these hopes are mot
yet entertained, according to state
ment made at the Irish Labor and
Trades Union Congress at Cork ON
Aug. 5. Thomas Johnson, chairman Of
the congress and leader Of the Labor
Party group in the Free State parlia-
ment, declared, in answer to Ques-
ton as to why the Irish body had sent
no fraternal delegate to the congress
of the Amsterdam international, held
in Vienna, that the rivalry between
the red" and the yellow" labor
internationals in Europe had split the
trade union movement from top to
bottom. The policy of the executives
of Irish labor, he said, was to stay out
Of the controversy. II they sent
delegates to the meetings Of the one,
then they had best send delegates to
both.

Potter Offers Pedigreed
Dog for Names
BY OWEN STIRLING
Especial to The Daily Worker)

Especial to The Daily Worker)
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 49,
Not long ago the Detroit Edison
Co., a wealthy public utility,
refused to contribute to the
United Spanish War Veterans
$4,000 fund, the alleged pur-
pose of which was to propa-
gandize Michigan In the inter-
est of law and order, In the
fashion of militarist organiza-
tons.
The company gave as its
reason that its rates and in
come were fixed by the Michi-
gan public utilities commission
and that any contribution it
made would therefore be re-
Elected in its rates and would be
paid involuntarily by the con-
sumers of current.
The veterans, however, asked in a
letter to a member of the public
utilities commission if it was the
commissions practice to oppose work
such as the United Spanish War
Veterans hoped to carry on. A mem
Der Of the commission replied that on
the contrary the commission encour-
aged contributions to funds such as
the one in question. This letter, used
as a club, obtained large contribu-
ton from the Detroit Edison Co.
Potter Has Great Scheme.
And now comes w. w. Potter, chair
man Of the same public utility COM
mission, as candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor of
Michigan. He is opposing the present
governor, Alex J. Groesbeck, who ap-
pointed him to his post and who is
seeking denomination.
It is the public utilities commission
which regulates the operations also
OF interurban bus lines as common
carriers in this state. 1t is necessary
for a candidate for governor to file
petitions containing about 1000 names.
Chairman Potter mailed patches OF his
petitions to public utility concerns,
believing he was in a strategic posi-
ton to obtain their services in his
campaign.
One batch of petitions reached d. l..
Dimmick, Detroit, manager Highway
Motor Bus Co. Dimmick gave the pc
titions to about 35 drivers to obtain
signatures. To stimulate the drivers
activity among passengers in behalf
of Potter, Dimmick offered pedigreed
dog as a prize to the driver obtain
ing the most names. Bus fare for a
passenger on a bus was cash plus
a signature on the dotted line, unless
the passenger rebelled.
And so year after year the public
Offices are filled.

HUGHES BACK;
is PROUD OF
DAWES plan

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-Secretary
Hughes, returned from his negotiar
tions in London, Paris, Brussels and
Berlin, refuses to make any further
predictions as to che success of the
Dawes scheme. He stands on his New
York statement that the economic plan
will be carried through regardless of
the military evacuation of the Ruhr.
Hughes VIII Speak
Coolidge campaign strategy includes
series of speeches by the bewhiskered
secretary OF state, II Is reported here.
These speeches would be made in the
middle west and would be devoted TO
claiming credit for Coolidge and
Dawes for the peace they claim Europe
will have this summer. Not even the
fake efforts Of Ramsay Macdonald and
Herriot will be recognized as having
contributed towards putting the shack
les Of the Dawes plan on the body of
the international working class.

With RAKE and
MOVIE CAL HITS
The farmer VOTE
Straw Vote Shows He
Will Carry Plymouth

PLYMOUTH, VT, Aug. 19.-Photo.
graphers were busy here today shoot
ing" Silent Cal Coolidge, as armed
with handmade wooden rake he pro-
ceeded to gather in the farmer vote
via the movies.
Like everything Calvin does, his
farming was real. AS if accustomed to
dirt he became dirt" farmer just as
soon as he hit his fathers farm. Some
say that perfectly good farmer was
spoiled when Mr.. Harding died. But
for that stomach-full of crabs, Calvin
would now be spending his evenings
whiting away on pieces of stick in
ghe village drug and general merchan-
rise store.
Like thotful father, Colonel John
Coolidge, he got the title like Dawes
got his, left little patch Of hay for
the president to gather. The Coolidges
believe in making their hay while the
sun shines.
The hand made rake was presented
| to the President by Representative
Treadway of Massachusetts. While
Coolidge is not a rake to any great
extent, the farming implement is con-
sidered quite typical Of the man who
went from the oil lamp Of his fathers
humble home to the oily atmosphere of
Washington. The rake is made of
wood.
President Coolidge hailed the 40
ceptance of the Dawes Plan with Joy.
He quietly remarked: ''Now there is a
good chance for us to collect the six
billion dollars Europe owes u.s." A
perfectly short and crisp businesslike
phrase. And just like "Cal."
There is no doubt but Coolidge viii
carry this village.
