BAUER SMELLS so.
BAD SOCIALIST
MUST DISOWN HIM
Former Chancellor in the
Barmat Scandal

BERLIN, Germany, Feb. 9.-Former
Chancellor Bauer, social-democrat.
has been forced to resign his seat in
the reichstag and has been "disown-
ed" by the social-democratic party.
after being implicated in the Barmat
brothers and the Prussian state bank
financial scandals.
The social-democratic paper, Vor-
warts, has repudiated Bauer, in an at
tempt to get out from under the ex-
posures of corruption in the former
German governments.
Left Socialists No Choice.
The social-democratic paper points
out that Bauer has been repudiated
by the governing board of the social
democratic party, and declares his So
cialist colleagues always looked as
kance at his relations with the Bar
mats"
They also "deplore the fact that
Bauer became involved in conflicting
testimony in the Prussian state bank
enquiry, and failed to make clean
breast of his operations, leaving the
party no choice but to disown him"
The social-democratic party Of Ger
many has been most heavily hit by
the revelations of corruption Of form
er government officials, which make
the practices of Americas Teapot
Domers appear lily-white.
Numerous Investigations are now In
progress in the reichstag and the
Prussian diet. The public prosecutor
is expected today to request the reich
stag to suspend the parliamentary i'm
munity of former minister of posts,
Hoefle, of the clerical party, who has
also been forced to resign.
Maybe Dawes Taught Them.
New disclosures show that the gov
eminent state agencies, including the
state railroads used illegal methods
to safeguard themselves during the
period of imitation The state railroads
lost nearly 100000 marks in an at
tempt to purchase gold on the BLACK
Bourse," in return for the rapidly
sinking paper mark.
Hoefle loaned government money to
the swindlers, Barmat brothers, and
thereby lost $15,OOO,OOO of the govern
ments money.

Squabble Grows Over
War Debt of Billions
Especial to II. Daily workerl


WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 9.-Great
Britian's note to France made public
today, Offering to reduce the French
war debt to England, will not change
the policy of Coolidge, who will con-
tinue to demand payment in full of
Frances war debt to the United
States, it was said in government cir
cles here.
France and Great Britain negotiated
treaty in 1916, long before America
entered the war, members of Calvin
Coolidge's official family state, and
agreed to make a. common cause
against Germany. They pooled money
men and resources, and after the war
divided Germany's colonies, and the
bulk of the reparations.
More than one billion dollars was
borrowed by France from the United
States after the armistice, and four
billion dollars was borrowed in all
England's note agrees to cancel
some of Frances war debt, but infers
that the English debt to the United
States should receive similar treat
ment.
The French government regards the
British debt coldly, because of the
Joker in the note which proposes
that France pay part Of her debt out
of her own national resources, regard
less of what money France is able to
extract from Germany French officials
declare it is a dangerous principle
for France to admit that she should
pay her war debts even if Germany
does not pay"
The French want to pay England
only from money THAI is taken from
Germany.
Heavier Burden on Peasants
Edward Hilton Young, M. P. finan-
cial adviser of the British treasury
department during the world war, who
has been in the United States confer
ring with American bankers, declared
before sailing for Liverpool from New
York that France should tax her
peasants more.
Young said that France should pay
her war debts to England and France
by levying heavier tax upon the
peasants. epr
Young declared that the French
peasants are unwilling to pay these
taxes, but the Herriot government
should organize the machinery to
make the peasants pay the debts.
England Knows How to Tax
"The French government should
organize the machinery for the col
lection of taxes and then levy Them"
said Young. THE peasants are un-
willing to be taxed"
Young added that England has
SOLVED her debt problem to the
United States by learning how to tax
her subjects"

Many of these miners comment bit
terly on the action of William Green,
former OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the Min
ers' Union, and now head of the A.
F. of l.. in leading the fight at the
Portland convention to expel William
F. Dunno, from that body because he
was Communist. Had Green de-
voted his energies to fighting the coal
operators in West Virginia, and else
where as the Trade Union Education
al League urged, the strikers in the
tent colonies would not be today at
the mercy Of the coal barons and
their scab labor leaders.
There are 100000 coal miners in
this state, which is about one-fourth
the present membership of the United
Mine Workers of America. With this
state almost entirely in the grip of
the open shop, the coal operators feel
that they can smash the union in the
rest of the country as the coal pro-
ducing ability Of this state is enorm-
Gus. The recent merger is only be-
ginning, and the new fake labor or
ganization, bears the same relation
to this merger that a company union
does to the concern which owns and
controls it. g.
The Bosses FIunkeys.
The incorporators OF the Mine
Workers Association of West Virginia
are j. S. Querey, Lincoln Holstein,
Robert Morris, w. M. Earle and C. C.
Matson, all Of Charleston.
The guiding hand in the great coal
merger is Charles r. Flint, 75-year-
old financial wizard OF New York
City, and the brains in the organiza.
ton Of such giant concerns as the
United States Rubber company, the
American Wooden company and the
American Chicle company.
The prospects in the near future for
the miners Of West Virginia are any
thing but bright. An era of Industrial
feudalism, that WIN beat anything in
the history of that black region looms
on the horizon.

While we all want to see Names

to many that the same amount of
money expended on business to help
agriculture would prove equally, If
not more, beneficial in the end.
Maine should be full of canning
factories. We have crops that make
it possible to keep such factories
busy from July until late fall. Peas,
corn, apples, beets, pumpkins and
squash could be raised at small cost
and earn farmers thousands Of dol
lars each year. There are now a
few such factories and in one alone,
in Waldo County, about One Hun

was paid farmers for their produce
IN that vicinity There is no reason
why dozens of such factories could

Maino wool should be bought in

a New York paper which claims to

Here is something that's not fit to

headlines go on to tell that the
judge termed their pay scandalous
and let them go until June on low

Without calling in question the
desire Of the judge to be fair we do
question his fairness to honesty. He
is quoted as saying that the tragic
feature is that these men do not be-
long in the criminal classes, social
ed. Indeed that might be said Of
anyone, perhaps, who after living an
honest life over a period of years
suddenly yields to a great tempta-
ton, but to leave the inference that
the crime was excusable Is a grave
injustice. and that is what some are
getting from the report, though the
judge denies that it is correct.
Did these men actually have to
steal to live? One Of them received
$4,000 a year and the others $500.
Those salaries are small for New
York City. but it is presumed these

of the successful career of the publ

things that have happened in the

are more striking than the advance
made in newspaper production. The
story is told in the development of

with historical matter that makes a
strong appeal to the thoughtful read

the progressive New England news
paper with a conscience, principles
and policy of helpfulness. 1t has
i been true to it's high minded found :
ers. Through the years it has been
owned and directed by men of in
oividuality and strong mentality,
some of whom became figures of
great prominence. Most notable of
these was James G. Blaine. who los t

important city and the State of

turing commonwealth, while retain
