JEW COLONY PLAN
IS Up TO AMERICA
Philadelphia Meeting Today
Will Determine What United
States Will Do.
BY JUNIUS R. WOOD.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
MOSCOW, September 1.-THE ex-
tent Of American participation in the
Jewish colonies being established in
Russia depends directly upon the out
come OF meeting scheduled to be
held in Philadelphia today, according
to Ezekiel Grower, acting director Of
rojoint," who has just returned
from an inspection Of the new settle
ments in Ukrania and Crimea. Agro-
joint Is subsidiary Of the American
joint distribution committee, especially
Incorporated for handling the coloniz-
ing work.
THE most impressive feature Of the
colonies Is the enthusiasm and energy
the new settlers are showing and the
results being accomplished on the
land" Mr.. Grower said. THE majority
of the colonists. being city Jews, never
knew agriculture before. The colonists'
living surroundings will make them
sound mentally, morally and physical
ly. From them will come a new gen.
GRAFTON, not only better than them
selves, but lettering the entire Jewish
nation.
COlonists Ambitious.
Though the colonists are accus.
toned only TO city life, they are am
bilious to succeed at farming. know
ing that the peasant in Russia holds
secure position, not only economical
ly but socially. Two of the most i'm
portant problems now confronting
them are housing and Autumn seed
ing. Though more than a thousand
houses were built this year, the pro-
gram was delayed by severe rains.
However, the shortage is not serious.
In the cases Of many families only the
male members are on the land. The
women are coming next year.
Briefly all the colonies under our
supervision are in good condition. Dur
ing the Summer Agrojoint, with trac-
tors and other machinery, cultivated
acres Of fallow land for each family.
This is ready for Autumn planting,
and the result next Spring will demon
strate the farming ability of individual
colonists. Much depends upon this
test"
When the joint distribution commit
tee embarked on the colonizing project
1t made a one-year agreement with the
Soviet government, which expires next
December. Relations of the American
organization with the government are
reported to be entirely satisfactory,
the latter assisting in every way.
Will Renew Agreement.
After the drive for funds in the
United States IS concluded. DR.. Joseph
Rosen. president Of Agrojoint, is ex-
pected to return to Moscow to discuss
renewal of the agreement with the
Soviet government, which is under
stood to be ready to renew on the IA
vorable terms.
According to local representative
Of Agrojoint, there IS no lack Of land
for future colonies. Next year the
Soviet government offers a Salsky
tract Of 500, 900 acres formerly held by
large land owners 200 miles north of
Rostov. The Crimea Republic offers
10000 acres near Jankoi. and the
Ukraine Republic offers $50. 900 acres
near the present colonies and $4,000
acres of sandy soil, suitable for vine
yards, along the Dnieper.

BOOK CENSORSHIP URGED.
German Bill Designed to Ban OBJ
jectionable Literature.

BERLIN, September II P.-All
books likely to have a demoralizing
influence on young people are to be
blacklisted throughout Germany I'M
der the terms of a bill to be presented
to the Reichstag at the coming ses-
sion. If, as it seems likely, the bill
is passed, all blacklisted publications
will Immediately be withdrawn from
the book market.
The ultimate decision as to whether
a book is or is not Objectionable and
deserves to be banned from the trade
is to be left to a committee of seven
in each of the German states. In 1923
a similar attempt was made to ostra-
ciZe Objectionable literature. but as
the measures adopted lacked legal
support they proved insufficient to
eradicate the spread of immoral publ
cations.

$4,000 were left and they had to give
up the struggle as hopeless.
The Communist party had repeated
ly offered large subsidies with which
to continue the strike, but the clerks
union refused to accept their aid.
Many of these employees receive less
than SIS a month and some of them
who have been in the employ of the
banks many years, with dependent
families, get only $40 a month. Hun
dreds of them were told when they
meekly applied for their former jobs
today, confessing defeat, that their
places had been filed. Several bank
ing establishments also have announc-
ed disciplinary measures, such as fines
and demotion.
The public, almost unanimously,
sympathiZed with the strikers, realiz-
ing that the wages paid in the ma
jority of instances were below a
decent subsistence level. Instances
were cited in which certain employees
were receiving the same wages as
they received four or five years ago,
despite the fact that prices have in
creased fourfold during that time.
All the strikers asked was an in
crease Of 100 francs monthly to COM
bat higher living costs.
Strikers and Bankers Criticized.
Much blame was heaped on the
strikers for striking at the time Of the
CaillauX gold loan, since the banks
were handicapped in promoting the
bond issue by the lack Of personnel.
But the employees declared the IN
crease was absolutely necessary be-
fore Winter, as otherwise the pur
chase of coal would be utterly beyond
their means
The bankers are severely criticized
for their niggardly treatment of their
employees, especially since bank
dividends, as the result of the decline
In franc exchange in the last five
years, have reached fabulous figures.
But the principal result of the
strike is, first, partial failure of the
government loan, and secondly, the
tragic loss to the strikers, who have
spent their savings and have gone in
debt for a useless strike, while many
hundreds have lost their job and their
means Of livelihood.

PEKING, August 20.-The fore
runner Of the mammal is believed to
have been discovered by Roy Chap
man Andrews, leader of the third
Asiatic expedition of the American
Museum Of Natural History, with the
finding of six true mammalian skulls
in the Cobb Desert. Biologists pro-
nounce the skulls 100000 to 1900 900
years older than the age of mammals.
On the strength of a letter received
from the museum stating that a
specimen from the last exploration,
which had been submitted as a lizard,
had turned out to be a mammal,
search was made for similar speci-
mems. The result, Andrews declared,
was discovery of two types of skulls,
marsupial and multi-tuberculate, i'm
bedded in rock and in the form of
nodules. They were skulls OF beasts
not larger than a rat.
Another discovery upon which Mr..
Andrews places great importance Is
found in traces of human life which
represent transition from the stone
age, through the flint period and to
the age Of primitive pottery.

WOMEN FIGHT FIRES.
Berlin Suburbs Brigade Wears
High-Heeled Shoes

BERLIN, September IL CP.-Weid-
mannslust, a little suburb of Berlin,
is the only community in Germany
which has a women's fire brigade. On
their own initiative II young women
founded the towns fire department,
as there were not a sufficient number
of available men for the purpose.
These firewomen sport a green uni
form and knickers. But they could
not be induced to discard their smart,
high-h -heeled shoes. They insisted that
it was just as easy to be active in
dainty footwear as in service boots.
At the flftieth anniversary of the
town they were the principal feature
of the celebration. They went
through a fire drill with a precision
denoting extraordinary discipline and
efficiency.

SHOPPING TRUNK is RAGE.
New Contraption for German
Women Is in Fashion.

BERLIN, September IL CP.-The
Sunday shopping bag has given away
to a diminutive shopping trunk"
among German women. These new
leather contraptions, which are of the
same size and shape as a travelling
suit case, come in various colors.
While the fashion is said to have
come from the United States, it re-
manned for the Viennese leather in
dustry to give artistic design to the
new-fangled shopping bag.
Fashion experts see a great future
for the shopping trunk. 1t is bust
nesslike and goes well with tailored
suits, bobbed hair and other mannish
effects of the feminine ensemble.
while the inside is fitted with powder
puff, mirror, lipsticks and rouge.

CHICAGO, September 12.-Cross-ex-
animation of four farm loan bankers
of the West at the Interstate Com
merce Commission hearing of the
Western freight rate advance case to-
day failed to alter their testimony that
farmers and stock raisers, especially
of Kansas, are prosperous.
Former Attorney General Fred S.
Jackson of Kansas did the question
ing, bent on impeaching this testi-
mony, which the railroads have offered
as indicating that the West is able to
stand the proposed per cent increase
in freight rates.

Says Condition Is Better.

Characteristic of the testimony the
farm loan bankers offered was the de-
liberate declaration of President AL
bert II. Denton of the Home National
Bank of Arkansas City, Kans., that
farmers as a class are better off to-
day than before the war"
Jackson, who was representing the
farm bureaus of the country. attacked
the conclusions time and again. Re
ferring to the alleged prosperity of
the farmer in Kansas, he asked
whether the bankers were not count
ing the recent oil well development
there as part of farm prosperity.
Asked again II there was not a
campaign on to reduce taxes in Kan
sas, Denton said such talk was most
ly politics"
Tax Cut MOSTLY Theory"
But it's a fact, isn't it?" Jackson
pursued.
NO" Denton answered, mostly
theory"
President N. Holman of the First
National Bank at Guthrie, Okla, told
of prosperity in his State. 'Agricul-
tural conditions" he said, have ma
terially improved in the last two years
and, in my opinion, they are better
now than at almost any time prior to
the war time period of inflated prices"
1t is believed the hearing here will
end next Tuesday. Among the wit
nesses expected for Monday are H. w.
Moorehouse, former director of eco
nomic research of the American Farm
Bureau, who will tell further of farm
prosperity. and Frank G. Squire, val

Toledo Police Threaten
Workers with Arrest
for Doing Party Work
BY BUEHLER 81
worker correspondent)

Eight workers started from the
the Workers Book Shop at S.15 on
Sunday morning to distribute three
thousand leaflets from house to house
in working class district. This leaf
let was issued by the Workers (Com-
munist) Party and called upon the
workers and farmers of this country
to defend the working class govern.
ment of Russia.
The comrades organized themselves
into four teams and started down the
street. All was going well till one of
the comrades noticed a copper riding
around on a motorcycle. He stopped
at a fire house, the comrades con-
cluded there was a fire in the district.
About fifteen minutes later, as one
of the teams was going up a street,
along comes another instrument of
the state, policeman, dressed in
nice blue uniform, hardware polished
to a high degree. One of the com
rades took a look at this tool of cap
italism, said good morning, and hand
ed him one Of the leaflets. He accept
ed and started to read it. When he
discovered the significance of the leaf
let he ordered the comrade to halt and
asked him if he had permit to pass
out leaflets.
Although the city law requires none
the comrades answered he thought
that one of the committee had it.
In the excitement the comrade said
to this policeman: "Why! Senator
Borah is making a desperate fight in
the senate to have the government Of
this free country recognize the work
ing class government of Russia and
we are trying to arouse the workers
of Toledo to instruct their represent
alive in congress to help in the fight
for recognition of Soviet Russia" The
copper's answer was, you better 20
and tell the gang to get out of the dis
trict. If I find any of you around in
few minutes Ill arrest every one in
the gang"
The comrade reported this threat
of the cop to our team captain we i'm.
mediately held a meeting on the
street corner and came to an unan-
imous decision that we would keep up
the work of passing out leaflets, ar
rest or no arrest. Our courageous de-
cision saw us thru and we passed out
all the leaflets without one arrest.

A Side Line in Corporation Graft

This reprehensible misuse of public
power can however be easily under
stood, when one realizes, that the city
government and the Allis Chalmers
corporation are to all intents and pur-
poses dominated by the same crowd.
But in spite Of this plain domination
by grating business interests, It
seems that the system is still con-
sidered not sufficiently satisfactory.
There is a widespread agitation
being fostered here to change to a
system of city manager control.
It is made to appear, as IL the work
ers ought to be interested in the ques-
ton as to whether council or a city
manager shall deliver their interests
to the tender mercies Of the bosses
The workers, who are everywhere
the vast majority, must organize for
the overthrow of corporation rule and
their political hirelings in the govern
ment, and establish their own exclus.
