HOW THIS YANKEE
AMBASSADOR TO
M ExIC0 CAN lie
Warren's Stuff is the
Rawest Ever

MEXICO CITY, July 29.-The state.
ments made by Ambassador Warren
before returning to the United States
are characteristic of the hypocrisy Of
United States Imperialism. He said
that his country never tried to butt
into the affairs Of the Latin-American
countries. Yet in Peru, where for 104
years no president has ever been re-
elected, the tyrant Leguia has been
made president for the second term
because he has granted unheard-of
concessions to American interests.
"The U. S. has no scruples about
changing constitutions where it suits
her purpose" is the statement made
by Anibal Secada, well known news
paper man of Peru, who was exiled
for leading a successful strike against
American interests. Nor does she
hesitate to uphold a constitution
where it is to her advantage, as she is
doing in Nicaragua, for example.
She is opposed to President Marti-
nez, because she has not been able to
get as much out of him as she did out
of Leguia, and so does not wish to
see him reelected. In Peru few
months before election the constitu-
ton was suddenly changed, and all
those opposed to the amendment MAX
ing reelection legal were either i'm
prisoned or exiled.
Ambassador Warren goes on pat
ronizingly: 1--WE have helped Presi-
dent Obregon put down the de la
Huerta revolt" He says nothing
about the fact that the U. S. unloaded
a lot of rotten Enfield" rifles for a
fat price, which have caused numer-
Gus accidents and many deaths among
the soldiers who used them.

Stone Age Skeletons
Of Men and Animals
Found in Far Siberia

MOSCOW, July 20. Discoveries
which may prove to be an important
contribution to the cultural history-of
mankind, have been made by two
psychologists, Professors Auerbach
and Sosnowsky, who have been car.
rying on excavations in Siberia for the
past two years for the purpose of dis
covering the remains Of the first hui
man settlement in that part of the
world.
The excavations have resulted in
the discovery of human skeletons OF
the Stone Age, and the unearthing OF
bones of bisons, gigantic deer and
mammoths, resembling the American
buffalo. 700 different kinds of stone
weapons were also discovered.

Soviet Trade with
Denmark Increases
Since Recognition
(Rosta News)

LENINGRAD, July 29.-In spite OF
the fact that the Soviet Trade Mission
in Denmark has been established but
short time, the results achieved are
quite substantial, says Mr.. Stihl, Act
ing Trade Commissioner of the Ussr
at Copenhagen.
The Soviet has placed big orders
for special barrel wood, cement work
machinery and chemicals, the Danish
manufacturers having agreed to a
six months credit. AS for Soviet ex-
ports, the Danish market is interested
in purchasing sunfiower, fax and cot
ton oils, as we'll as Russian rye, whose
excellent quality makes it possible for
it to compete with American rye which
had flooded the Danish market. The
results are that about 30 per cent OF
Denmark's requirements of grain are
now covered by Soviet rye.

Whereas hussia's principal group

year 1929 were foodstuffs, amount.
Ing then to about 20 per cent OF her
entire imports, this group comprised
only 8 per cent Of the total Russian

out reports that Russia is able to feed
herself and that the big demand is
now for goods for industrial purposes.

American Farmers
Co-operatives Do
Prosperous Business

There are over 10000 farmers CO.
operative enterprises in the United
States, and the 1913 of them report
ing in 1925 transacted a business of
$1,700,000, 900. The government ex-
perts agree that the business of the
2.010 societies which have not yet re.
ported will run the total well up over
s2OuO,1J 1000.
The farmers cooperative activities
follow sCur main lines of marketing
besides large amount of collective
purchasing, says the All-American Co
operative Commission. Figures com
piled by the government show that
there are $500 co-operatives for the
handling and marketing of grain,
1,S41 for dairy products, 1882 for live
stock, and $50 for the growing, grad
ing, and marketing of fruits and vege-
tables. The grain co-operatives did
almost an even half billion dollars
worth of business during the year,
while dairy products and fruit and
vegetable co-operativss each handled
around $3OO,OOO,OOO for the same
period.
The farmers are not only learning
to get more for their crops thru CO.
operative producers societies, but
they are also cutting down their ex-
penses by the cooperative purchase
of farm and home supplies. There are
about 1000 such co-operatives now
serving the farmers of the country,
doing business of 100000 a year.

News.
Morsan's scab Mines.
They found that non-union mines
alone enjoyed anything like steady
operation, mentioning especially the
West Kentucky Coal Co., which bank
ers assert has the backing of j. P.
Morgan & Co.
Their report says, 1.-THE statement
that this field is going to cut quite a
figure in competing with southern ILL
nois was borne out by what the party
saw on every hand. In fact the prepar-
atoms being made for a big tonnage,
the opening of new properties, the
building of new coal line by the Illi-
nois Central railway and the feeling
Expressed everywhere that the coun-
try was on the treshold of a great
boom convinced the party that here
is coal field to be reckoned with and
that it would affect southern Illinois
more than any other field with which
it would come into competition"
Union Region Shut Down.
They did not go into Muhlenberg
region because it was solid union and
shut down. But they reported gen.
eral feeling that Muhlenberg terri
tory will never operate other than
union mines as the unions have the
situation there well in hand"
Reports of extremely low non-union
production costs were found to be
current, coupled with the charge that
non-union miners were often cheated
on weight, thus getting paid as low
as SOC to Acc ton. Strip mines,
frequently with considerable produc-
ton, are being opened up all along the
railways. Wages at such mines ranged
from 1915 to 81 day which enabled
the operators to get their coal out as
cheap as SOC ton.
Wages In Morgan's Mines.
One part of the report deals with
the St. Bernard company which went
non-union when it was taken over by
j. P. Morgan's West Kentucky Coal
Co. Their miners wages are: leaders,
6O.Sc per ton, machine men, 1888 a
day, drivers and trip riders, 1856,
timbermen and switch layers, S5.4S,
motormen, $575; track layers and
helpers, SIS, inside labor, S5.26, out
side labor, $4.S6, and trappers, $2.72.
The men are represented by a com
pany union with a council of miners
and 3 Representatives of the company
to handle grievances.
New Coal Road Running North.
What gives the greatest promise
to this coal field" the report says,
is the building of the Illinois Central
railway cutoff which will open in Oc-
tober. The line is constructed with
so slight a grade that it will permit
the operation of heavy trains" Con-
gested transportation alone prevented
Kentucky coal from playing its full
strikebreaking roll during the 1922
strike. When the shopmen's strike
plugged up the little neck of the Ken
lucky bottle the victory Of the miners
was assured. Capital is evidently
working to eliminate this weak point
in their line of battle.
