FREED FROM
PA. PRISON
PrOgreSsiOes Out After
Month in WorkhOuse

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 27.-Alex
Reid, secretary Of the Progressive
Miners Committee and Pat Toohey,
progressive leader of the miners in
the anthracite region, were released
today after months Imprisonment
following their arrest on September
goth by local police while attempting
to address a meeting of miners in
Washington Hall, West Scranton.
The arrests followed a declaration
by Rinaldo Cappellini, U. M. w. of
A. official in the anthracite district
that all Communist meetings should
be broken up.
In Jail for a Month
On Monday, September %, Reid and
Toohey, appearing before Police
Magistrate P. j. Mcnamara, were
ordered held to await the action of
federal authorities" The Judge added
that, ''If the federal authorities will
not take care of them, I will decide
later what is to done with them"
Evidently the federal authorities
decided to let the police~magistrat
do the dirty work, which he was not
at all averse to do, as on September
30, Reid and Toohey were sentenced
by Mcnamara to serve six months in
the workhouse on a framed-up charge
of "vagrancy." This was done while
their attorney, Isaac Shoor of New
York, was not notified Of the hearing
in court, although he had visited the
prisoners early that day and had con-
ferred with the U. S. district attorney
who was holding" them as MacNa-
mara had prescribed.

two other progressive miners arrested
with Reid and Toohey. were released,
Valentine proving that he had bank
account and could not very well be a
vagrant. Reid, however, was sent
enced to the workhouse in a vagrancy
charge. in spite of the $50 he had in
his possession.

Every since then the two progress
sive leaders have been serving their
sentence in the Scranton workhouse.

CAILLAUX GOES
TOO AS MONEY
CRISIS GROWS
Promise of DGwes Plan
for France Looms
Especial to The Daily worker)

Especial to The Daily Worker)
PARIS, France, Oct. 27.-Less than
one week after calllaux, finance mini
ster Of France, submitted without re-
commentator the proposals Of the
United States on the settlement Of
debts to the cabinet, he went down
to ienomlnous defeat, dragging with
him the cabinet itself.
Paul Painleve, premier Of France,
presented the resignation of his cabin
ct today and it was accepted by Presi-
dent Doumergue. The crisis was pro-
voked by Caillaux, whose efforts to
stabilize the French currency, miser-
ably failed.
AS a reaction to the failure OF the
American debt negotiations the franc
since the return from Washington Of
Caillaux, has been steadily declining.
In the chamber OF deputies the so
cialist bloc, under former premier
Herriot, was prepared to insist upon
capital levy. Caillaux rejected this
proposal but proposed heavy taxes on
luxuries. Thus he lost the support of
both socialists and conservatives.
Facing certain defeat in parliament,
Painleve requested Caillaux to resign
from the cabinet. Caillaux refused,
stating that the cabinet would either
stand or fall with him. 1t fell.
AsssiI United States
The United States government is
held to blame for the crisis, in cur
rency today, the charge being based
upon the refusal to reach a satisfac-
tory debt settlement. Instead of a
settlement that would stabilize
French currency for a time, the Am
erican government proposed a FIVE
year period in which no principal on
the debt of $4,000, 100000 be paid, bur
that interest at the rate of 100000 900
per year be paid.
This is recognized as a move TO
bankrupt France so that plan for
the complete domination Of France
by American Imperialism on the gen
eral lines of the Dawes plan for Ger
many, may be imposed, thereby re-
ducing France to the position of a
semi-colony.
Il decided to resign last Friday, con-
forming to the views of my collea-
CUES" said Painleve, nevertheless we
wished to see BRAND, armed with off,
cial authority in attempting to pre-
vent war by pacification in the Greco
Bulgarian incident"

Unemployment in
England Increases

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 27-Un-
employment was still on the increase
in Great Britain at the end of August,
reports to the commerce depart
ment showed, and was especially
marked in coal mining, textile manu-
featuring and tinplate milling. On
Sept. II the official figures showed
1,41S,O0O persons out of work, as COM
pared with 1,191,OOO on the same date
year ago.
The figures are taken from the
English unemployment insurance de-
partment, which now calculates that
1875 per cent of the regular working
population of the country is out OF
employment.

SUBSTITUTES
The BUNK IN
COAL STRIKE
Anthracite Operators
Aid Use of Soft Coal

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 27.-How
little the anthracite operators rear
the stage thunder of threats by that
mythical entity, "the public" to swear
off on anthracite and use soft coal,
oil and other substitutes from now
on, henceforth and forever, is shown
by the anthracite operators actions
when confronted with these threats.
Also is shown that the anthracite
strikers are being betrayed by Lewis
not calling out the bituminous
miners.
Last Wednesday the New York and
Pennsylvania officials conferred with
each other and with representatives
of the anthracite operators. Major
General Berry, chairman of the New
York state coal commission. tells the
following about the attitude of the
anthracite operators:
Operators Don't Fear Substitutes.
"They came to New York to find
out just what the situation was here,
and they all were told that unless the
strike ended soon and anthracite
shipments were resumed, they were
in danger of losing part of this great
market as customer of the anthra-
cite industry" But General Berry
had to admit that threat had failed
to move the anthracite operators,
whose hearts seem as hard as their
coal my impression from talking
with them" he said, sis that they
mean to fight it out if it takes all
winter
Not only are the anthracite oper-
ators unmoved by the buncombe
propaganda spread far and wide about
substitutes for anthracite, but they
are taking advantage of the continued
working of bituminous mines by the
union to urge even that soft coal be
used.
Anthracite Operators Aid Soft
Coal Use.
George ]. Eltz, director of the Coal
Merchants Association in New York,
says that the anthracite operators
are actually sending out engineers and
fuel experts to serve to popularize the
use Of soft coal in New York and
show consumers how to use soft coal
instead of their own anthracite.
Health Officer J. ]. Hagan Of Jersey
City has another bright idea for
settling the dispute. He is going to
get representative conference of
health officers in New Jersey, then he
figures that this body will recon-
mend to Coolidge that an ultimatum
be sent to both miners and operators
to reach an agreement by certain
date. or have the soldiers and militia
go to work digging coal" Who is
going to clean all the dead soldiers
out Of the pits after they have killed
themselves with accidents due to their
ignorance of the dangers of coal
mining, Hagan fails to state.

nave left occupied territory
within 60 hours.
Aristide BRAND reminded the repre-
sentatives Of the two contending par
ties thar If they did not follow out
the decision of the league of nations,
an economic blockade would result.
Go Into Closed Session.
Following the reading of kilograms
and communications between the two
contending nations, at the open .ses-
sion of the conference, the two repre-
sentatives of the contending nations
were called to the council table to
participate in the deliberations.
When asked whether the two gov
ernments would accept the league de-
cisions, both delegates showed re-
luctance in replying. Both recited
tales of atrocities and blamed each
other as the aggressors.
Following the arguments of the
Greek and Bulgarian representatives,
the league of nations commission held
private session. During the private
session Hyman of Belgium expressed
the fear that not only was the future
Of the league of nations at stake but
also that of the Locarno pact.
Hand Decision to Delegates.
After the private session was over,
the representatives of the two powers
fighting each other were handed
copies of the leagues decision de-
handing that orders be issued for
withdrawal of troops within "a hours
to their frontiers and that at the end
of go hours all troops must be in
their respective countries.
The league showed its distrust of
the pledges made by the two powers
by appointing a commission Of British,
French and Italian officers who are to
proceed Immediately to the Greco-Bul-
gar frontier and see to it that the
leagues orders are carried out.
Plan Blockade.
Plans are now being laid to blockade
Greek ports in which England, France
and Italy will participate, in case the
league decision is not carried out.
England has 20 battleships in the
Mediterranean waters waiting orders
to be put in action against Greece.
