Lessons From
BuenOs Aires
and Rio.
SPUR TO CAMPAIGN
OF WASHINGTON
What Avenues de Mavo
and Rio Branco
Teach Us.
BY THEODORE w. MOVES.
Editorial Correspondence of The Star.


As the result of comprehensive
tour of South America last year and
OF similar visit of inspection in
1910 certain helpful hints to Wash
inSton concerning the upbuildinc of
the City Beautiful are indelibly inn
pressed upon my memory.
Present consideration of these hints
Is peculiarly timely. The nationwide
campaign for the full development of
fhe National Capital. encouraged and
inspired by last years successes, is i'm
full swing. The organized forces that
fight for Washington are i'm the mood
TO welcome and to utilize wise Sug-
gestiOns concerning city planning and
capital upbuilding Moreover, the
Pan-American Conference on Capital
Cities arranged by the Washington
Committee of One Hundred ON the
Federal City is now i'm session in
Washington, and the words of the
speakers at the conference, the mo-
tion pictures of pan-American capitals
and the exhibits of the accomplish
ments and attractions of these capi-
tails, now subject to inspection at the
Pan-American Union Building, con-
firm and emphasize and render vivid
these hints to Washington from our
next door neighbOrs, the South Amer
lean republics.
Several South American cities en-
phasize their superiority in the past
over their northern neighbors in city
planning and building, in artistic taste
land appreciation of the city beautiful.
but the lesson is most pointedly
taught by Buenos Aires and Rio de
Janeiro.
The hints given by these cities to
American municipalities in general
have special application to Washing
ton. for both Buenos Aires and Rio
are. like Washington, national capi-
tails in federal districts

Rakovsky Blames Lies

LONDON, England, Aug. 5.--There
is no immediate likelihood of INlp-
ture of British.Soviet diplomatic rela-
lions, Christian Rakovsky, Soviet
charge d'affairs in London, declared
here.
II have received absolute assurance
from the highest quarters that the
British government does not conten.
plate any diplomatic break with Rus
STA and that any such rupture is ex-
trenely unlikely Rakoysky said.
Three things are responsible for the
Anglo-Soviet crisis, British, German
and czarist propaganda against the
Soviet Union, Rakovsky declared.
Other countries are taking advan-
tage of the possibility of importing
Soviet grain and other products, while
England sits back and sees red, thus
being bested in this immense market.

Put Up AS Dummy.
Then along came the Farmer-Labor
Party and he got active there. The
machinsit local was dissatisfied with
its business agent, the one in office
was not getting results The progress
sives put Leven up against him. But
during the campaign for his election
there were indications that Levenaw was
not on the square with the progress
sives. And wnen he refused to carry
out the wishes of his group namely
to go to outlying points to campaign
for his election, it aroused .onR sus-
picions. The game became clear to
us. He was put up as dummy against
the old business agent, Percy Molly
neaux. 2a43sr
Further investigation brought TO
light that Molyneaux was kept posted
on every move made by the progress
sives, that Leven was his man Fri!
day. The strike in 1922 further showed
up this pact. These two birds worked
hand in hand in killing this strike,
Leven shone forth with big car and
richer by two pieces of property. Molly
neaux bought $4,000 fiat on the
corner of Main and Buchanan.
Percy Molyneaux was still bust
ness agent of the machinists local.
The Grand Lodge was sending funds
right along during the strike. There
was no strike benefits paid to the
strikers. If a striker appealed for
funds a committee was sent to his
home. This committee looked into the
coal shed and in the cellar, then it
demanded to see the grocery bill and
all of the personal business of that
striker. Then maybe he would get a
ton of coal or $500 worth of groceries.
1t was impossible to get an accounting
of organization funds. These strikers
who supported their labor organiza-
ton thruout their membership were
treated as paupers are treated by
charity organization when their appeal
to their own union for strike benefits
to which they were entitled.

MINERS union
OFFICIAL MAKES
TREASON CLEAR
Approves Company Vio-
lation of Contract

STEwARTSvILLE, OHIO, Aug. 81
Frank Ledvinska, President of Sub
district 5, District U. M. W. of A.,
is the latest traitor to be exposed to
the miners of that subdistrict Ledvin-
ska is one of the reactionary Lewis
machine.
The miners at the Lucy mine in
Stewartsville, had a proposal put to
them by the j. c. Paisley Coal COM
pany some time ago. that they give
up their bi-weekly pay day and ac-
cept monthly. pay day instead. The
miners refused to do this, and are idle
about a month now as a result Of their
refusal
A. Violation Of Contract
The reputation of the coal COM
pany's proposition by the men was
we'll known to Ledvinska, as he was
made aware Of. it by the miners i'm
mediately after they had repudiated
it. The district contract provides that
the pay dax shall be semi-monthly Ton
the tenth and twenty-hfth Of each
month, and further provides it cannot
be changed during the term set for its
existance.
John L. Lewis has said that there
shall be no backward step in the
union, but all over the bituminous
union field of America, similar betray-
ais are going on right and left, and
John /. Lewis is doing nothing to
stop It.
The miners. at their conventions in
the past few years. have made a de-
termined fight for weekly pay days,
but up to the present t. have been
unsuccessful in their fight. The coal
diggers will continue to fight for week
~ pay days in spite OF the betraysls
Of Lewis and Ledvinska and will not
recognize Ledvinska's action as legal
in the union
The miners remember that a short
time ago many mines in Illinois were
closed down and the men were beat
! cut of a months pay by the coal com
panies. One miner at the local meet
ng said the same thing MAJ happen
here. and showed that If they accepted
the monthly payday they may get
beat out of two months pay instead
of one, sLedvinska has by this action
proved himself one of the greatest
traitors in this valley, and the miners
are proposing to call a special conven-
ton to throw him out of the office he
has prostituted
sUb-oistriet President Proves Traitor
Ledyinska had the president of the
local union call a meeting of the men
working at the j. c. Paisley mine,
and in spite Of the fact that the men
had taken the only constitutional ac-
ton that could be taken. he (Ledvin-
sha) informed them that he had sane
toned the monthly pay day for the
Lucy mine. In taking this action Led
vinska violated his obligation as a
member Of the T. NJ w. of A. that
he would not harm brother or see
brother harmed
Ledvinska bad the brass to inform
the men that they could accept the
company's proposal, and their union
cards would still be good No doubt
our union cards would be good as far
as Ledvinska is concerned if we gave
away every. condition we ever had.
The men are determined that Ledvin-
ska will not get away with his trea-
cherry this time. and many Of them are
agitating for a special convention to
throw the traitor out of the union.
