 Durand testified that he bought the truck from Pepin last November pay ing part cash and giving another car for the balance. He was not inform ed by Pepin that he. pepin. held the car under a conditional bill of sale.

 Some time later Durand said lie was told about the car being on eondi- tional bill of sale was also told that it might be taken away from him.

Report Shows Trade
Between USSR and
Norway Has Gone Up

MOSCOW, April S.-The Commune
istblad, organ Of the Norwegian Com
munist Party, published at Oslo
(Christiania), reports that trade be-
tween the Union Of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics and Norway Increased three
times in 1924 as compared with the
previous year, the purchases made by
the Union reaching total of about so
million Norwegian crowns, which is
about the pre-war level.
Accurate payment by the Soviets
has dehnitively eliminated any ap-
prehension that may have been felt in
some of the Norwegian business
quarters, and the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics enjoys full credit
among these quarters, which no long
err ask, as they had TO do before, for any
guarantee on the part Of the Norwe-
gian government when selling on
credit to Soviet trade organs and
firms. All the banks, including the
State Bank of Norway, now accept
the bills of the Soviet trade mission.
It is interesting to note that COM
plants are heard among Norwegian
merchants and industrialists that Nor
ways trade with Poland is done at
more or less considerable losses.

OFFICIAL FIRED
AFTER PROTEST
Used Government Post

NEW YORK-(FP) April 3-Yield.
ing to the pressure Of the National
Association for the Advancement Of
Colored People, Secretary Of Labor
Davis has agreed to cancel the ap-
pointment of DIR. w. A. Picker, spe-
cial agent Of the department. Davis
announces his decision in letter to
the association, replying to their pro-
test against Plecker's anti-Negro
propaganda.
The gravity of Plecker's offense
was intensified by his use Of the free
mailing (franking) privileges Of the
department. In a pamphlet he dis
tributed mail free in wholesale guam
titles occurred such statements an
the following:
Thee mental and moral char
acteristics of a black man can
not even under the best environ
ment and educational advantages
become the same as those Of a
white man.
Let us turn a deaf ear to those
who would interpret christian
Brotherhood to mean racial equal
ity."
Davis said he didn't know what
Picker was up to and said that the
latter, because OF his oficial position
as registrar of vital statistics for vir-
ginia, had been designated as special
agent without salary, but that his fed.
eral appointment had been cancelled
on receipt of the associations com

Economists Recognize
Economic Progress of
USSR Says Comnissar

MOSCOW. April 3.-Addressing the
plenary session of the council of con-
crosses of exchange trade, Comrade
Sheinman, peoples commissary of in
ternal commerce, dwelt on the main
tasks actually facing Soviet trade.
Pointing out the notable economic
progress Of the Union of Socialist Sow
let Republics, the speaker stressed the
fact that there is not one serious eco
nomist in Europe or America today
who does not recognize the fact The
successful carrying out Of the monet
airy reform, the lowering of the prices,
the greater productivity of labor, the
lowering of the primary cost Of indus
trial products, and the relative stabil-
fly of the grain market-all this prov
ed that, in spite of partial crop fail
ure, the situation was well taken in
hand. These successes, the speaker
declared ought to be basis for fur

CITY GETS Junk
FOR SKY PRICES
UNDER CAR BILL
Workers Party Has the
Only Real Plan

The DeVer traction ordinance, which
will be voted on by the workers next
Tuesday, proposes that the city shall
buy at par value the traction bonds
which have a par value Of S67ooo,o 900,
while these same bonds ar quoted on
the market at $46,ooo,0o0.
The securities which the Dever or
dinance provides the city shall buy
at par value, $S1,OOO,OO0, are now
quoted on the market at $2200O,000.
Ten Per Cent Fee.
The ordinance provides in addition
that the bankers negotiating the sale
to the city shall be paid brokerage
fee of 10 per cent, or commission
of S50,O00,O00 on the entire project.
The city, under the ordinance,
guarantees to pay $162,702,5S5 for the
traction certificates, and to pay five
per cent on these certificates. There
are S140,OOO,OOO outstanding bonds Of
the surface lines due in two years,
and there is only s2O,OOO,OOO on hand

The transportation system will be
turned over to the city in bad repair,
much of the elevated structures being
practically junk.
It is noticeable that the politicians
opposing the ordinance have offered
no plan to meet Chicago's traction
problem.
The Workers (Communist) Party,
on the other hand, has demanded that
the traction system be confscated by
the city, and that the employees run
ming the traction lines be put in COM
plete control, thru committees Of the
union employees.

JOBLESS MOTHER
IN MILL TOWN
SELLS HER barry
for NeW
Mother in Paper


LAWRENCE, Mass, April Son
front page Of the Lawrence Tribune,
issue Of March 10, appears this adj
vertlsement, "Pretty three months old
baby girl for adoption. Mother not
working, too poor to support. For
further information write Box J-S26,
Box 627, City,"
The mother, three months after the
birth of her first child, has been going
from employment office to employ
ment office. Her husband left town to
look for work in another city. He
could not find it.
The textile mill barons Of this town
have been laying off thousands of
workers, slashing wages, and putting
other workers on part time. Genevieve
was born in the heart Of the struggle
between the starving mill workers,
and the child exploitaing mill owners.
Begged For Work
Her mother has begged in vain that
the mill owners give her some work
no matter how long the hours or poor
the wages; no matter how degrading
the work.
But the mill owners are locking the
workers out. Genevieve's mother can
not sell her strength, her labor, to the
industrial lords of Lawrence.
"The poor house for you," they tell
Genevieve's mother, land take your
brat with you. In dozen years we
will help her. When she is ten or
twelve years old we will put her to
work in the mills"
The textile mill owners, who weave
expensive clothes for the Fifth Ave.
shops, like to take the employees
young. "Mill broke" is the name that
is applied to immature boys and girls
who have had the spirit and ambition
for education ground out of them at
an early age.
In the same page of the Tribune
that the advertisement appears is a
story about Genevieve. "In hundred
perhaps a thousand homes in Law
renee there are Genevieves." But it
would not do for this rag which is al
ways at the service Of the mill own
ers to admit that it is the shadows of
the textile mills which hang over
Genevieve.
Capitalism InfIiets Blight
So the kept sheet of the textile
bosses invents an excuse for the pow
erty of Genevieve's mother. "Gene
vieve's father hasn't provided for her
as other fathers have" says the kept
newspaper.
But the citizens of Lawrence know
that unemployment stalks abroad in
the New England mill country, and
in the other big industrial centers
And the starved workers are talking
of making over industry and abolish
ing the profiet system.
The advertisement on the front
page of the Lawrence Tribune is an
indictment against. the Lawrence mill
owners, a badge of the blight the
capitalist system inflicts on the work
ing class.
