Lewis was asked II he favored gov

the negative, tho admitting that the
u. M. w. OF A. is on record in favor
Of the naturalization OF coal mining,
but he sneered at this position init
mating that 1t was a dead letter as
he did not believe in government in

these instructions were, that the revo.
lutionists should organize in groups
Of ten. This did not look so good to
Gegan, but he pulled a copy Of "Hot
Dog" out of his pocket and discovered
that farther down Zinoviev had in
structed the ten to elect sub-com-
mittee Of three to do the dirty work,
which perhaps consisted of such soul
tickling diversion as boiling the enc

by the conquered foe, his artillery and

devil to get my picture in the pa
pers, but I've got to hold my job and

Every embattled dick seized a gun
as the photographers began to click
their cameras and the news hounds
began to grind out the horrible details
OF the planned overthrow.
Finally 1t occurred to a reporter to
ask one of the grinning culprits when
the bloody event was going to start.
When he learned that it was on the
seventeenth of March, he said, "Aren't
you sure your name is not Roderick
Kennedy of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, who is one of the principal
cavalry men in the parade I'D Fifth
avenue, which will be led by AL
Smith," He turned to the detectives
and said, "Gegan, if you have made
mistake, it will cost you your job"
1t was authoritatively learned, how
ever, that the prehistoric swords and
antique rifles were being used in pre-
paration for pageant depicting the
Paris Commune which will take place
today in Madison Square Garden.
Dicks Got Publicity.
The newspaper reporters thot it was
publicity stunt, but the detectives
did not care. They would come in
for their share of 1t anyhow.
Be it as it may, three members of
the Workers Party were taken to DO
lice headquarters. They are Henry
Winogradoff, Sol zalon, and Aaron
Dimen.
They were arrested at II East Third
street but the heavy part of the ar
tillery was found at Workers Party
headquarters, 10S East 14th street.
The Civil Liberties Union, tho it
does not believe in the use of arms
on general principals, decided that it
would not hold strictly to the letter
of the law in this case, seeing that
the guns we're old and more or less
useless for shooting purposes. In fact
had the Communists intended to use
them on an enemy it is quite likely
that the guns would have kicked like
any pacifst.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March is. -
The Coolidge administration, follow
ing eight months Of enforcement OF
the law barring foreign-born workers
from entering the United States unless
specially selected, is further clamping
down on immigration. The govern
ment is establishing force of in,

Deportations have sharply increased
In the last six months deportations

and has maintained the position thru
out negotiations that whatever agree
ment was signed it should be en-
forced. The new agreement turned
out to be favorable to the workers,
with average Is per cent wage in
creases which the jobbers then tried
to evade.
The local is also introducing a new
method of organizing non-union shops
is insisting that all unorganized shops
be brought into the union. A rank
and file committee Of 300 workers
volunteered TO get after non-union
shops Workers from these open shops
who strike to get the union agree
ment signed are being paid by the
union to go into other non-union shops
to organize.
So far the new policy has been
iustifying its introduction. This Or
ganizatlon work is being carried on
with increased vigor during the stop
page and is aiding the effectiveness
OF the stoppage great deal.
Bosses Reluctant
The jobbers are reluctant TO grant
union demands and are calling for
modification OF schedules. They have
tentatively agreed again TO accept the
principle OF uniform wage schedules
but are not yet ready to put into eff
feet those provided in the February
agreement. The jobbers are temper
arily benefitting from the stoppage in
the increased buying up Of their
limited stocks by retailers who fear
their Easter trade may be lost.

causes. The theory behind the three
year contract, agreed to at Jackson
vile was, according to Lewis that a
long term pact would enable the big
coal companies to drive the small
fellows out of business and also the
200, 900 surplus miners who were earn
ing their living digging coal but were
an eyesore to Lewis and the bosses.
An Inside Agent
Lewis declared that in few years
power would be produced at the pit
mouth, which would eliminate the
cost of haulage and no doubt few
more hundred thousand miners. 1t
never occurred to him that the min
ers had any right to the earth, out
of whose bowels they dug the fuel
that keeps the wheels OF industry
moving. He did not say how many
mines he owns. but no doubt when

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
At two-thirty o'clock this afternoon
the senate will decide whether or not
Charles Beecher Warren, sugar trust
lawyer, is to represent big business
as Coolidge's choice for attorney gen.
eral.
The senate is up in arms against
Coolidge's challenge of their "consti-
tutional right" to pass upon the presi-
dents selection Of cabinet members.
Senators Get Sore.
"The president says to you, The
constitution gives you power to ad-
wise and consent, but will override
that power. l will wait until you ad-
journ and then will put in ONCE the
man you said was UNFIT" said one
senator.
He was referring to President Cool.
idge's personal message to the senate,
which declared, "The president is
making every effort to secure the con-
I firmation of Mr.. Warren. He has de-
cided on no other appointment. He
will offer him recess appointment"
The republican senators are loathe
to continue the fight for confirmation
of the sugar trust lawyer. Their
speeches on his behalf have been half
hearted and apologize. Coolidge's
decision to select agents Of the large
corporations for places on the cabl-
net and supreme court is not so OBJ
jectionable to the senators. Many
of them are themselves multi-million.
aires, as for instance, Senator Cou-
zens.
For White House Rule.
However, following upon General"
Dawes ultimatum for change in sen.
ate rules that would curb the minor
ity's power, the senators see in Cool
idge's insistence on Warren a deter
mination to direct the rule Of Wall
Street solely from the executive man
sion. The senators do not object to
the rule of Wall Street, but they want
to help direct that rule. They want a
hand in the graft.
Even the speech Of Senator George
Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania. in
favor Of Coolidge's sugar trust agent
was half-hearted. Pepper admitted
that Warren has spent his life as a
servant of big business. Warren
could turn around and pursue relent-
lessly combinations which twenty
years ago he would have considered
innocent" Pepper said. eff you trans
lated him to the attorney generalship,
would he be capable of performing the
duties of his Office in relation to com
binations outside the law?"
On Side Of Corporations.
1.-THE trouble is he won't conceive
any corporations to be outside the
law" democratic senator interject-
ed.
The senate will convene at 1890
| this morning, an hour and a half be-
fore the usual time, and will vote for
second time on Warren at 4:30, af-
ter four hours of debate, each sena-
tor being limited to thirty minutes.
Vice-president Dawes was absent
from the senate during the exciting
debate which was provoked by Cool
idge's message of defiance.
In spite of the exposure of War
ren's unbroken record as a tool of
the trusts and in spite of the fact that
Warren attempted to make no defense
of the attacks before the senate ju-
dietary committee, Coolidge praised
Warren's excellent qualities" in his
statement.
Warren was rejected by the senate
last week by a vote of Al to SO.
