Senator Ladd of North Dakota. one
u the four insurgent Republican
Senator'S read out of the party coun-
COS by the Republican Senate con-
ference, has thrown down the gaunt-
1T to the regular party forces with 4
challenge Of their leadership and an
aIraignment OF their policies as sub
v4rsive of the true principles of Re
pU6licanism.
In a sharply phrased and lengthy
address IN the Senate late yesterday,
the North Dakota Senator assailed the
"Would-be" leaders OF his party as
asrogantly setting themselves up as
judges OF party loyalty. Asserting
the camp followers of the old Re-
publican party have become the van
guard of the new Republican party
Senator Ladd declared that II to be

magnates," he could not qualify"
Edge Defends G. O. Y.
His assault on the regular party
forces drew a defense of the Senate
conference action, taken at his In
stance, from Senator Edge of NeT
Jersey, who declared the test OF party
loyalty was in the support of the
party candidate for President. Sem

then injected a little merriment into
the discussion by instancing the vote

asked what is the test?"
Reference by Senator Ladd to the
Roosevelt bolt and return to the

Senator Edge that Republicans would

cation of your plans to march in line

BALDWIN IS
IN HOT WATER
over SUBSIDY
Mine Subsidy Anglers
Other Capitalists

LONDON, Aug. 4.-Farmers of Eng
land today added to the cares of the
Baldwin administration with a demand
for subsidy such as orc thru which
the premier found solution Of the
threatened coal strike.
This complicating factor was an adj
ditional encouragement to the opposi-
ton press, which continued its freely
expressed criticism, in anticipation of
the debate over the subsidy in the
house of commons.
The rest of the capitalist class are
sore as a boil over the fact that they
must support the burden of paying
profits to the mine owners. They
hoped the miners would be beaten and
would stand this burden.
There seemed little doubt that pre-
mier Baldwin would be able to carry
his promised measure thru parliament.
but it also seemed certain that his ad-
ministration has been weakened by
the forced settlement Of the coal
strike It will continue to be thorn
in the side of the administration, it
was believed, as long as the taxpayers
realize that their money is being paid
out for the subsidy.
Debate on the measure in commons
tomorrow was expected to be extre-
mely bitter. The capitanst class as a
whole cannot understand why the
miners and their allies of the trade
union movement were not defied and
crushed-"once for ALL" They could
not and still do not see the revolution

BY JACK TOMBSTONE.

At the Executive Board meeting OF
the Chicago Federation of Labor held
July Sth, two propositions were ac-
cepted which on the surface, seem to
be unrelated to each other.
l. A resolution condemning the scab-
bling tactics of the United Garment
Workers in the strike of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers against the
International Tailoring Company and
the J. L. Taylor Company.
2. The sending to all local unions a
four page lying and vicious attack
upon the Communists. We reproduce
the last paragraph of the letter, which
will give the readers the essence OF
the whole.
The Executive Board of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor exposes
the, Communists tactics, unmasks
their schemes and denounces their
deceptive methods because they are
sailing under false colors and dare
not come into the open using their

titles: Labor Defense Council, =

Troops Massed on
Bulgarian Border
by Greek Dictator

ATHENS, Aug. 1.-The Greek gen.
eral staff today denied published re-
ports that two divisions of Greek
troops had been moved to the Bull
garian border.
Official announcement was made
that a few reinforcements had been
sent to the frontier outposts. For
eign minister RENTS stated today
that this action was merely temper
airy move and would be cancelled as
soon as Bulgaria takes action to in
sure the safety of Greek citizens in
Bulgaria.
Athens newspapers had said troops
were being moved to the border be-
cause of the inaction of the Bulgarian
government over Greece's protest
against the murder of Greek citizen
in Bulgaria.

ANTHRACITE
CONFERENCE
BREAKING UP
Operators Trying to
Force Arbitration

ATLANTIC CITY, ". j., Aug. 4. -
Unless the present personnel OF the
operators negotiating committee at
the coal conference here is displaced
by men 'with power to act" leaders
Of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea will withdraw from the joint con-
ference of anthracite mine operators
and workers, It was reported this
afternoon just before today's session
was to open.
John L. Lewis, International presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers, con-
ferred with union district heads, the
reports said, and it was determined
that unless Samuel d. Warmer re-
coded from his stand regarding reten-
ton Of the present subcommittee peg
sonnet, the conference would come to
sudden end this afternoon.
Lewis Says Warmer Lies
Union leaders said it would be "use-
less" to confer any longer with the
present personnel Of the operators
subcommittee. They declared that in
spite Of what Warmer says, this CON-
mittee is not empowered to grant
them their demands.
Should there be a strike, they as
serted, the operators will then be in
a position to unload nearly ten million
tons Of surplus coal now ON hand.
Warmer Denies Agents Lack Power
In his letter to John Il. Lewis, re-
fusing to come personally to the con-
ference, Samuel D. Warmer, chair
man of the anthracite operators asso-
citation, said yesterday:
You question the authority of our
committee and the experience Of it's
members. Let me assure you at once
that this committee is fully authorized
to represent and speak for the anthra-
cite industry"

THE annual congress of the German
4 Communist Party was held recently
in the Prussian Landtag. This is not
so much tribute to the amiableness
of the Prussian government as to the
power of the Communists. The con-
gress was addressed by French and

Those young rebels stepped out to
the music Of revolutionary working

There are ten thousand of those in
