Nothing beyond the promise of the

Allied statesmen have further init

ADMINISTRATION
TO BACK MERGERS
OF RAIL R 0 ADS
President Wants Such
Rail Legislation

WASHINGTON, d. C., Oct. 1.-THE
question of railway consolidation will
be one of the chief recommendations
Of the interstate commerce committee
at the coming session of congress, ac
cording to today's developments.
In his discussion with. President
Coolidge at the white house today
Senator Cumrnins of Iowa urged that
the administration endorse the policy
of devising plans for the merger of
the great trunk lines of the country
into limited number of systems and
the elimination OF competition so that
adequate equipment will be available
for the rapid transport of farm pro-
ducts.
May Force Mergers
The plan is to offer the railroads
guarantees that will protect them dur
ing such consolidation and give them
period of from FIVE to seven years
in which to perfect the system
In case this is not done the next
step is to force consolidation by TAX
ing portion of the net earnings from
the larger roads and distributing them
pro-rata among the weaker roads &C
cording to their capitalization This
scheme will force the larger roads to
take charge Of the smaller ones in
order to protect their net earnings.
Plot Of Big Roads
This move is in the interest of the
big roads dominated by bank capital
and since the recommendations to
congress are to be made by the in
terstate commerce commission the
proposals for merging the various
lines will be so devised that those
trunk lines opposing those in favor of
mergers will be forced to buy up the
tributary roads in their territories. To
do this will require the floating of new
issues thru Wall Street banks thus
placing all railroads under domination
Of the money combine.

lodging houses have been erected and
equipped to accommodate $500 peo-
pie daily. The houses are provided
with all modern comforts, laundries,

ed the forces of labor that are thrown
against the coming conhagration. In
the Comintern, there are tendencies
not in keeping with the definite trend
Of labor in several countries TO the
left. On the contrary, in several
countries-in Soviet Russia, in 1928
and 1924. in Germany in 1928, in
Czecho-Slovakia in 1925, in Italy a So
called ultra-left opportunist tendency
represented by Bordiga. in the Ger
man party again in 1925, the oppor-
tunist tendencies manifesting them
selves in the Fischer-Maslow group,
all are out of keeping with the de-
finite trend in the labor movement,
particularly in England, Czeeho-Slo-
yakia, Poland. The visit of the trade
union delegations to Soviet Russia and
the tremendous impression which the
situation in Soviet Russia produced
on them is having a revolutionizing
effect on the working class.
Hence the slogan Of Bolshevization

BISHOP BROWN
APPEALS FOR
AN INJUNCTION
"Obey" Stricken Out Of
Marriage Ceremony
Especial to The Daily worker)


NEW ORLEANS, Oct. II. - The
house of bishops is confused today
over the action Of Bishop William
Montgomery Brown in going into fed
eral court for an injunction to re-
strain them from passing sentence Of
accommodation upon the aged pre-
late. The house Of bishops has al
ready voted the sentence and its for
nal carrying out is the task of the
presiding bishop, the Most Rev. EthIe.
bert Talbot Of Bethlehem.
The court refused to issue a tempo
rary restraining order, but ordered
the house of bishops to appear We'd
nesday and give reasons why such
an order should not be issued.
The carrying out of the sentence Of
unfrocking the hereto bishop on Mon
day would not be in violation Of the
court action, but the bishops are be-
dating the wisdom of carrying it out
for fear 1t might be considered an af-
front to the court.
Wives Need Not obey.
The house of deputies recommend
ed the striking Of the word "obey"
out of the protestant episcopal mar
riage ceremony, which viii probably
be adopted. This is considered the
better part of wisdom since so few
of the wives of the bourgeoisie carry
this provision out in practice.

U. s. S. r. Education Program Abol-

MOSCOW, Oct. IL. - From June.
1924, until January, 1925. the network
of rural literary stations in 20 prov
.inces of r. s. f. s. R. was increased
from 6.S74 to 11,745. In some of the
provinces the number of rural lite

The opinion was expressed by M.

of education, that by the tenth ami
versary of the October revolution
there would be disposed of not less
than rs per cent of the illiteracy
among the adult rural population.

the broad masses of the workers.
Education alone is not enough. Our
party is a party Of action. That
member cannot be considered a real
Communist who merely understands
Communism, but does not engage in
the party work. Hence, as the Com
intern has pointed out, every mem
Der Of the party eligible to mem-
bership in a trade union must join
the union. The district executive
committee OF District s, has decided
that If these members do not join
their union within two months or
give valid reason for not doing so,
they shall be disciplined. To do their
work in the unions the comrades
must be organized. Therefore, party
fractions are indispensable.
The slogans of the party must be
based upon the existing situation.
The Comintern has as one of its most
important slogans that of the united
front. The labor party is the most
important slogan on the political field
at the present time. All other kinds
Of united front slogans must be en-
ployed in order to draw the work
ers into struggle. Work among wo-
men, work to build up the Y. w. l..
and Junior groups, work among Ne
groes, work against Imperialism,
building up the defense, spreading
the DAILY WORKER and party IL
terature among the masses; these are
the immediate tasks of the party, for
which the comrades must be ready.
Comrade Amter then went into de-
tail on the reorganization Of the
party; how it will be reorganized
and how it will function.
The meeting at Warren manifested
intense interest, many questions were
asked and a discussion took place.
The Youngstown meeting was not
well-attended; therefore, it was de-
cided to hold another meeting on Oc-
tober 25, to discuss the matter once
more.
Warren is ready ideologically for
reorganization. The Finnish district
committee is holding educational
meetings in the various branches of
the district to prepare the comrades
for the reorganization.

62-Year Agreement.
After an inspection of the compli-
Gated records pertaining to the debt.
the American and Czech commissions
agreed upon a lump sum of $115,00O,-

Including interest at per cent for
the first ten years and S1k thereafter
the Czechs will pay to United States
a total of about $300,000,000.
Owing to heavy interest burdens Of

view with amusement these long term
agreements, for tho they serve the
immediate ambitions Of the House OF
Morgan to bring all Of Central Europe

agreements into the waste basket OF
history long before one-third of the
