FIGHT on VEEVIL
PUSHED IN SOUTH
Ciyic Organizations Aid Farm
erS To Get Calcium Arsenate
In Many Sections

ATLANTA, April 15.-The part
that. cities and towns can have in
the fight against the boil weevil Is
being brought out by the activities
of commercial organizations in
number of Southern cities ana
towns in cooperating with and as
sistine the cotton growers IN the
campaign for elimination of the
greatest menace there is to South
ern agricultural prosperity, it was
pointed out here today by leading
agriculturists.
Cooperation by the business
men and organizations Of the towns
WITH the farmers, it was declared,
is after all but move for self pro
lection, for, it is claimed, unless the
bolt weevil is conquered and the
damage it is doing to the cotton
crop can be checked, the towns will
have little to hope for in the way
of business from the rural districts.
The country trade of most interior
towns, it is claimed, is the chief
dependence of business in them. De-
prived Of their country trade, most
of the towns would be practically
without trade.
An object lesson in coopera-
tion of commercial organizations of
towns with the farmers in the wee
vii fight is furnished in Georgia
and by the enterprising city of AL
bany. The Albany Chamber Of
Commerce through its secretary and
after a conference with the county
agent formulated plans for cam
paign against the weevil.
The plans were submitted to the
board of directors and were adop-
ted. One of the first steps taken
was to arrange for the sale of cal
cium arsenate from a 'peddler" ear
and all farmers were notified that
the poison could be purchased in
100pound lots at IL cents a pound.
"The fight on the boil weevil
must be carried forward this year
as it never has been before, for the
weevil promises to do its greatest
work of destruction in the crop Of
cotton that is planted this year"
declared j. j. Brown, Georgia com
missioner of agriculture.

PERSIAN BRIDES
. BY SINCLAIR and
STANDARD Barred
~. S. Corruption Told
by Soviet News Service

MOSCOW, April 3.-The papers
give prominence to the disclosures of
the system Of bIiberies practised in
Persia by the Competing American oil
interests, striving to get concessions
in the Northern part of the country.
There was keen emulation as to
which company should be the first TO
bride one high official or another and
which should give the largest sum.
Oil Crook Passes Buck.
True, the representative of the Sin
clair Oil Co., in an interview with
the correspondent of the Rosta News
Agency at New York, denied the re-
ports appeared in part of the Amer
lean press to the effect that this Com
pany had bribed the competent
Persian minister, asserting that the
latter had indeed received a sum of
100000 dollars as Squeeze" not
from the Sinclair Co., but from a
competing American firm. The cor
respondent of the New York Ameri-
can, who sent the report from Persia
about the activities of Sinclair Co.,
in this Connection, "made mistake, Z"
according to this firms representative,
as to the person who actually gave
the bride and the concern the giver
represented.
However, the Rosta learns that all
the competing oil interests, namely
the Sinclair Oil, the Standard Oil,
and the Anglo-Persian South Oil.
Cornnanies have been largely engag-
ing in a free competition of shower
ing brides upon the Persian high of
ficials, who are in control of the
granting of oil concession leases in
the northern part of Persia. So that
the particular question of one bride
or another cannot have any special
Importance as to the corruption of
the entire system prevailing in oil
concession hunting in Persia.

derstand the legal phraseology Of
the demand for an answer from the
tenant, or else they do not make
their answer in the proper manner.
A notice to the tenant to vacate
is much more important in the land
lord-tenant battle than would ap-
pear on the surface. because it is
the general practice for the land
lord to send every tenant notice to
vacate after the violation Of the
lease.
Due to the rent laws, after send
ing such notice, the landlord has his
tenant "just where he wants him"
IF between n1e time Of sending no
tice to his tenant, and the expira-
ton of the lease, the landlord finds
new renter at a higher rent, ac-
cording to law the tenant who has
improperly answered the notice to
vacate must move as soon as the
lease expires. The notice to vacate,
which the large majority of renters
receive every year, is an advance
notice that the tenant must pay a
higher rent or get out.
Many landlords, even tho they
send the notice. intend to let the
present tenant remain, find after the
notice is sent, a family which is
willing to pay more, and the old
tenant has to go.
Even if the tenant does apply, In
answer to the notice to vacate, for
a stay of execution, after the ex-
piration Of the lease, the tenant
must pay the higher rent demanded
or else take the case to the court.
In that event It is up TO the discre-
ton of the Judge sitting at the time
on court cases whether or not the
tenant must vacate.
The rent laws were passed at the
urgent demand Of the tenants, so
that they would not suddenly be
faced with the choice Of either pay
ing a high rent increase or Of NOV
ing. The rent laws have been so
wrapped in legal phraseology, and
so indirect and feeble, that they are
not only ineffective, but due to the
leases since put into use by the
RNlC<tEO neal ESudJt -hodTut Iney
aid the landlord.
The tenant must waive, in the
lease, all the benefits which were
supposed to accrue to him from the
rent laws. The only thing that the
landlord permits to remain active is
that part Of the rent laws which
binds the tenant to lengthy legal
procedure and which serves to con-
fuse and involve the tenant while
the landlord is robbing him.
Chicago is said by housing inves-
tigators to have the feeblest rent
laws, and TO pay less attention to
this problem than any other Amer
lean city The Chicago Real Estate
Board has cleverly turned what
little legislation we have on hous-
ing to the advantage Of the real
estate companies.

Italian Workers of
Chicago and Vicinity
Fi1ht Anti-ALien LGID

The Italian workers of Chicago
and Cicero, Ill, are opposed to the
various bills pending in congress,
which aim to, enslave the workers
Of this country.
Last February a temporary COM
mittee was organized by the Ital-
ian branches of the Workers Party.
This committee callei a conference
of all the Italian sick and death
benefit societies, unions, athletic
clubs and political organizations.
The conference was held last
Sunday. 1t was attended by AZ
delegates representing % organiza-
tions. An executive committee of
IL members was elected to take
charge of the work.
A resolution was approved unan-
imously putting the conference on
record to constitute itself as a
council for the protection of foreign
born workers and. to do everything
in its power to oppose the passage
of the proposed laws to Cypress the
foreign born workers.
A letter was read from the secre-
tary of the international council of
Chicago, Z. Holt. He invited the
Italian council to unite with the in
ternational council in the agitation
against TIE proposed laws. The
letter was greeted with great en-
thusiasm and the executive commit
tee was instructed to work together
with the international council.
Another important decision was,
that the executive committee stands
instructed to visit all the organiza-
tons, which were not represented in
that conference, to send delegates in
next meetings.
Before adjourning the executive
committee was also instructed to
organize within a short time a mass
meeting Of the Italian workers. of
Chicago and Cicero to Brotsst
against the pending laws.

FITZPATRICK SAYS
old PARTIES ARE
DECAYED TO CORE
Yet He Tells Voters to
Support Len Small

A resolution signed by John Fitz-
patrick, Charles Wills and David A.
McVey, chairman, vice-chairnan and
secretary, respectively, of the I'LL
nois branch Of the National Farmer
Labor Party, declares that "The two
old parties are decayed to the core
and that the only solution is fer
labor and the farmers to have
party Of their own"
In face of this resolution, which
calls for a state convention of the
Farlner-Labor Party, the three men
who sent out the declaration against
the old parties, have all endorsed
both democrat and republican candi-
dates in the coming primaries.
Playing Two Games.
John Fitzpatrick, who is trying
to play two-faced game, endorsing
Len Small at the demand Of that
politician, at the same time he sends
out calls for independent political
action and dehounces the party which
Small represents, has his Office
stacked high with Len Small For
Governor campaign circulars, which
the Chicago and Illinois Federation
Of Labor officials are sending out.
The circular signsd by the Farm
el-I.abor Party officials follows:
The Farmer-Labor Call.
"The sixth convention of the Illi-
nois Branch of the Farmer-Labor
Party of the United States will be
held at 1870 West Washington street.
Chicago, April 10, 1924, at 10 a. M,
for the purpose of nominating cam
didntes for state Office at the No
velnber election, the election Of dele
gates to the national convention in
Cleveland, Ohio, July 4, the adoption
of a state platform and other bust
ness of the party. Each county
branch is entitled to che delegate
and one additional delegate for every
200 individual ldues-paying members
in good standing. Each local union
Is entitled to one delegate and one
additional delegate for every 1000
members.
"The greatest opportunity for ma
tional Farmcr-Labor Party develop
ment that has ever occurred is upon
US. The Illinois branch Of the party
must do its full share toward crys-
utilization of the sentiment that the
two old parties, with their Teapot
Dome and other scandals, are de-
cayed to the core and that the only
solution is for labor and the farmers
to have their own party. Our
convention will have, among other
things, to consider the attitude our
party should adopts toward the can
didacy of Senator La Toilette for
president.
Therefore, your organization is
urged to send delegates to the con
vention. Such delegates must be
persons who will subscribe to the
purposes of the Farmer-Labor Party
of the United States and who,
therefore, are interested in the de-
velopment of its policies, principles
and tactics and the successful pose
cution of IFS work.
