Assistant Secretary, National Associa-

New York, n. Y.
Dear Sir:
In harmony with the understanding
with YOU, I am furnishing you the fol
lowing information relative to the So
called Houston rioters:
Oi the fifty-four Of these men who
were III confinement in the penitentiary
when the board Of officers visited that
institution, thirty were serving life SEN
tences. AS the result Of the recon-
mendations Of the board Of officers,
made after a most careful and exhaus-
tive investigation and consideration Of
each case on its individual merits, ten
oi the thirty men under life sentences
have received reductions in their sen
fences that will make them eligible for
release on home parole during the cal
enlar year 1925; and the remaining
twenty have received reduction from
Life 10 thirty years, which viii make
sixteen Of them eligible for home
pstole in 1927. and four Of them eli
gib'e Tor home parole in 1928
Ia passing upon these cases great
weight was laid upon the evidence pre-
sentcd at the trial and the conduct in
confinement Of the prisoners con-
eeraed; and the investigation showed
that the men whose sentences were re-
duced to thirty years were the more
deeply involved in the affair, and had

prisoners involved in the Houston riot,

Very truly yours,
lsignedl John W. WEEKS,

Secretary Of War.
In making public this report, the
N.A.A.C.P- made the following state
ment:
To summarize the above letter the
facts, in brief, are: IS of the Houston
Martyrs are eligible for immediate re-
lease; I6 Of them-1O serving life SEN
tences and 8 long terms-will be eli
gible for release within year; 10 will
Be eligible for release early in 1927;
and the remaining four early in 1923,
Of three years and seven months from
now. The men were committed to
Leavenworth Prison in December,
1917, and have thus served SIX years
and FIVE months.
While the results obtained thus far
are not all for which the N-A.A.c.P-
and cooperating agencies hoped and
worked for, nevertheless there is cause
for rejoicing in that those who have
the longest sentences yet to serve have
only three years and seven months.
The N.A.A.C.P. and those agencies
which worked 50 faithfully in this ef-
fort yet feel that full pardon which
was asked for, should have been
granted these men. 1t viii be noted
from Secretary Weeks letter that
these cases are to be reviewed annu-
ally. The N.A.A.c.P. is gratifed at
The result secured. AT the same time
Il viii continue its efforts for further
reductions Of sentence.

viii be eligible for home parole in
1925.
AS this recent investigation has re-
suited in reductions in sentences in
every case Of the so-called Houston
rioters, with the exception Of six who
are eligible for parole not later than
August. 1924, and as the latest date
(under the modified sentences) On
which any prisoner viii become eli
gible for home parole is August, 1923,
it is considered that the War Depart
ment has been most liberal in its treat
ment of the prisoners.
Under rule Of the War Department
governing the subject the case Of
every military prisoner is considered
for ciemency at least once each year;
and neither the recent investigation by
the board of officers, nor any action
taken upon its recommendation, will
preclude the consideration annually Of

Get Ready for War

With the supreme ruler of the United States, j.
Pierpot Morgan, reaching out to extend his dom
inion millions Of unruly subjects, prepar-
atoms must be rushed for reiuvenating the war
machine and increasing its capacity. For Morgan's
plans mean war, and Morgan's wars must be fought
by the workers and farmers of the United States
Hence the fact that today we are having "mobiliza
ton day" Get ready to protect Morgan's billions,
is the message to the American workers of the
agents of capitalism.
Against this message, which promises more
death, destruction, suffering and slavery for the
working class of the world, the Communist Inter
national calls upon the workers and farmers to
mobilize their forces against the capitalist system
Morgan's wars will inevitably continue, at the
price of working class blood and suffering unless
the workers overthrow Morgan's rule Against the
government of Morgan, the Communists call for
a government of workers and farmers; against the
imperialist wars, against fratrcidal struggles be-
tween workers of various countries serving their
capitalists, the Communists call for the civil war
of the workers of the world against the worlds
capitalist class.

Albania Is Naive

THE Dawes plan is tortuous, complicated,
diabolical, internal concoction of bubbles It may
secure vicepresidential chair for it's author but
it will produce very little in PREPARATIONS" So spoke
the representative of Albania in the League of Ma
tons Assembly.
But what Mr.. Fannoli overlooked is, that the
Dawes plan is only incidentally concerned with
reparations, and it really does not matter great
deal to those responsible for it if reparations re
suit or not What the Dawes plan unquestionably
does accomplish is to establish the rule of j. Pier
pont Morgan over Europe, and that is the vital
point. Of course, that Dawes shall also become
vicepresident is desirable, and to squeeze lot of
wealth out of the German workers will be a thing
to drive for. But when Morgan gets his fingers
thoroly fixed upon the .throat of Europe, he will
find ways and means to carry that purpose out
in addition to the Dawes plan.
This Albanian representative, by the way, ought
to soon find himself in the good graces of Morgan
For he seems to be a good Fascist dictator, with
plenty of contempt for democracy a la Mussolini
and still more contempt for the workers and farm
ers He still has to learn the lesson that ''good
taste" and the unfolding of the pacifst illusions
of the masses require that he speak not bluntly
in public, but that is a minor matter, and Morgan
can teach him that and use him to good advantage
for American Imperialism.

With the Workers in Russia

Not only have the workers the best
sanitariums, with the possible excep-
ton of few for the highest officials
Of the Republic (the sanitariums of
the Central Committee, which are just
as good, but when we go for our
baths in the various establishments,
we have it all arranged beforehand by
the sanitarium. The private people
are standing in line and waiting some
times for hours if there are many of
them. But the organized people in
the sanitariums, and that means
among others the workers, go in with
out waiting.
We have free tickets to parks and
concerts that all the private people
have to pay for, it is part of the SAM
tarium privilege. And everything, from
food and beds to doctors treatment,
is all free in the Sostrak Sanitariums
There is no cashiers desk where you
can pay for anything; myself will
have to settle my bills when l get
back to Moscow, for no one down
here seems to be authorized to ac-
cept money. The workers are sent
on slip of paper from the Sostrak,
and that entities them to everything
the land provides.
A Trip to KisIovodsk.
Yesterday I went for an all-day ex.
cursion to Kislovodsk, another sum-
mer resort higher up in the mountains.
The glass worker from the Donetz
Basin took me, as he knew the ropes.
After we had climbed over half q
dozen hills and visited several friends,
we came upon another sanitarium, the
highest up in the mountains.
We noticed that it, too, belonged to
Sostrak. So we walked in and showed
our little tickets and were told to
stay to dinner. We had vegetable
soup with perozhniks Ia frech baked
roll with meat filing and tomato and
cucumber salad, and chicken and ice
cream. It was so good that we de-
cided to come back for support And
We did, on the strength of that little
Sostrak ticket.
We discussed how pleasant it would
be when Communism really arrived,
to be able to go anywhere just on one
little card, and drop in for meals at
the places you liked, not merely in
dozen Sostrak vacation houses, but
in all the vacation houses in the
world. The average American
won't understand this at all. He will
say that he can go now to any hotel
and pick out his meal, on the strength
not Of a ticket but of a dollar bill.
SO he can, but there's a world of
difference in the feeling. All the differ.
ence between strangers-and home.
We didn't know anybody in that new
Sostrak place, but they felt and acted
like comrades. If we could go to places
all over the world and feel like
