HUGHES BROKE
HIS DIPLOMATIC
NECKOvEU RUSS
Politically He Is NOw
as Dead as GOmperS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49,
The opinion that Secretary
Hughes decided to quit the Cool
idge cabinet because of a differ
ence with the president over
relations with Soviet Russia is
becoming Stronger every day.
Senator Borah has not denied re-
ports that he delivered an ultimatum
to the cabinet on this question which
is one of the big planks in Borah's
platform. Coolidge does not relish the
idea Of having the Idaho senator on
his neck, and as the president has no
past worth speaking of to live up to.
except a reputation for silence, he
does not feel that reversal Of policy
on Russia would detract from his
fame.
The feeling is, becoming stronger in
Washington that the Hughes policy
toward Russia had very detrimental
Effect on United States interests in
the orient. The American. capitalists
believe-without justification, how
ever-that Soviet Russia's benevolent
policy toward China and her ap-
proachment with Japan was in retail
alton against the United States. The
Soviet governments policy in China
is in harmony with it's program for
international peace and the lifting up
Of the oppressed and subject peoples
and the emancipation of the workers
Of all lands from exploitation.
Hughes In DumbbelI Role.
According to reports credited hero
in political circles, Coolidge recently
asked Hughes for information on the
treaty now under negotiation between
Japan and Russia. Hughes replied
that his spies were not able to get q
copy of the draft, but did not consi-
der 1t of any consequence to the Unit
ed States, as Russia was a negligible
power in his opinion. This answer
was so childish that it angered the
president, who told Hughes that SEN
ator Borah's views on Russia were
more in accord with the senate's
views than those of the secretary of
state. 1t was then that Hughes po-
litely informed Coolidge, he would
like to go on long hunting trip.
An American commission to discuss
terms with Soviet Russia may be ap-
pointed by Coolidge shortly after Mar.
A. 1t would follow the same procedure
as that of the committee that smooth
cd the way for the resumption of di.
plomatic relations with Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.- Calvin
Coolidge today assured reporters
hat no immediate change in foreign
lolicy need be expected as a result
o. the resignation of Secretary OF
State Hughes.
While the president was careful to
calm the fears OF the most antl-Rus-
sian section of the American capital
1T class, that a complete reversal OF
policy on Russia was to be expected,
in the near future, It wa significant
to note that he said, Russia has
nude some progress toward condi-
Ions necessary to renewed relations"
This is considered the diplomatic
way of saying that by the time the
.nofIicial steps which II is expected
Coolidge proposes to take, looking to-
ward relatins with Russia, have de-
veloped sufficiently. the president will
decide that the Soviet government has
made enough progress to warrant
official recognition.

STRIKEBREAKER
JUDGE CAUGHT
IN CRAFT DEALS
He Issued Injunction
Against Strikers
BY MARTIN A. DlLLMoN

Federated Press staff Correspondent.l
EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, Jan. 15.-
Former referee in bankruptcy Charles
B. Thomas, now under investigation
by the department of justice, was ap-
pointed to Office by federal Judge
English, notorious injunction Judge
during the railroad strike. Thomas
resigned under fire, but his quitting
will not halt the probe Of his alleged
activities in connection with an al
legged bankruptcy ring.
Thomas, it is alleged, was permitted
while referee to appear before Judge
English as attorney in bankruptcy
cases, contrary to federal statutes;
that the funds of firms and individuals
undergoing bankruptcy in English's
court were deposited only in certain
banks in some of which English and
Thomas were stockholders; that de-
spite his status as referee, Thomas
was appointed receiver by English at
bloated fees of many concerns.
Stole a Million.
Representative La Guardia, New
York, attacked English in a speech on
the floor of the house last May, after
the Judge had dealt leniently with
notorious war profiteer. Said the con-
gresham: I'VE read in this mornings
newspapers the disgusting report of a
federal court Judge, who stole $1,000
600 from the government during the
war, on the pretext of a weak heart
was let off with fine Of $12,500. This
man is Henry Joyce, who was the
marine manager of the Central Rail.
road of New Jersey. His two corpora
tons that participated in the loot did
not plead guilty to a weak heart, but
pleaded guilty to the crime and we're
lot off with a fine of $1,000 each. l
consider such slight fine simply dis.
graceful. Asked to name the Judge.
the congressman replied, Judge
George English"

Dever's Traction
Plan Gives Magnates
All-City Nothing

Mayor Dever's traction ordinance
sells out the people of the city OF
Chicago, to the traction magnates, who
are the only ones receiving any bene.
fit from it, it was disclosed in the
city council. The bill gives the priv
ate traction lines a franchise of &C
years, which is just twice the length
of the franchise now allowed by city
law. 1t allows the traction lines to
retain control of the city lines until
all certificates issued are absorbed by
the city.
The ordinance allows a rate of fare
sufficient to pay all charges, without
the necessity of obtaining authority
from the Illinois commerce commits
sion, relieves companies from orders
of the commission, relieves them from
having to pave their rights of way
and from paying taxes, and allows
them to retain control of the traction
lines until every cent of indebtedness
is paid by the city.
The subways may be used free BY
the traction lines when built, accord
ing to the ordinance.

The Starvation Olicy

Five members of Local 1S1 of the Carpenters
Union have been deprived of their means of making
living at their trade thru a ukase delivered by
are justified in assuming that those penalized
workers committed some serious offense against
trade union principles to merit such drastic punish
ment But what are the facts?
The penalized members are admittedly among
the most active trade unionists in Local 1S1. Far
from being punished for violating any trade union
principle, either in letter spirit they pun
ished for defending those principles against the
bureaucracy which uses the cowardly weapon of
starvation in order to take revenge.
When the takers signed agreement with
Chicago contractors which provided for punish
ment to the extent of suspension from the union of
any member who refused to work with strike
breakers or to handle non-union-made material or
to work under the protection of police and gunner,
the expelled members, with others, signed their
names to resolution protesting against this scab
contract. The resolution was passed by the local
and sent to the international convention After
the convention was and Hutcheson felt that he
could use highhanded methods with impunity he
instructed his local stoolpigeons to prefer charges
against those who signed the resolution.
The story of the farcial "trial" has already been
There was no trial but instead huge frameup.
The chairman of the trial committee falsifed the
record and the president of the local declared the
five members expelled against the almost un-
animOus protest of the local.
Those five carpenters were expelled for being
sterling trade unionists For taking the lead in
legally protesting against scab agreement they
threatened with permanent divorce from oc-
cupation at their trade. This mark you not by the
employers directly, but by the officials of the Car
penters' Union acting for the employers.
That the expelled members have the confidence
of their fellow workers has been demonstrated by
the action of the members of Local 1S1, who have
for them. Even tho the takers have pronounced
the expelled militant non-members, the latter have
attended every meeting of their local since their
illegal expulsion the protests of the reaction
aries who used uniformed gunner to awe the rank
and file without success.
This is a fight which concerns not alone the
members of Local 49, but every union carpenter
in America. 1t is part of the struggle waged by
the left wing in the labor movement against the
tools of the bosses who now pose labor leaders.
The illegally expelled members of Local 1S1 are
good fighters, and the local is to be congratulated
for the splendid example of working class solid
arity it has given in standing shoulder to shoulder
until the reactionary bureaucrats forced to sur
render and another victory chalked up for militant
trade unionism.

Lands Scabbery

Thomas L. Donnelley, president of the citizens
committee to enforce the Lands award, was quick
to answer the challenge thrown down by the
Glaciers Union when they tied up nine school jobs
rather than work with scab Lands award sheet
metal workers.
Donnelley, chief of the scabs speaks up and or
ganizes open shoppers for battle. Where is John
Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation
OF Labor and the logical man to take issue with
Donnelley? Fitzpatrick spoke vehemently against
the Communists at the last meeting of the fedora
on 1t seems that he is not so ready to even speak
against the open shoppers Of Chicago.
The Lands award, the board of education the
school committee Mayor Dever and all other capi.
talist lackeys and groups are united against the
glaciers This is but another proof of the futilty
of the nonpartisan political policy of the reac.
tionary labor leaders. 1t is further evidence Of
their complete bankruptcy.
Donnelley the scab leader, has spoken for his
class. What has Fitzpatrick, the trade union
leader, to say?

A legion mem Der will be on duty in the tent Ma yor L. " Ray, who has been appoint ed general chairman for the Seward Defense Day exercises, by Governor George A. Parks, will deliver the ora ton.
 President Coolidge has designated July 4th as Defense Day and the War department, which is taking active leadership in promoting it, has requested public assistance and cooperation in making it success. Military cooperation has been aSsu1 ed wherever army units are avail able.
 Purposes Are Given
 In a letter just received by Mayor l.. V. Ray, from Gov. Parks, the ob- jects of the occasion are set forth as follows:
 First, to encourage patriotic demonstrations this emphasizing the historic occasion when Congress first pledged the resources of the country for national defense, and commemorating the sacrifice made for national defense.
 Second, to familiarze the coun- try at large with the defensive meas ures that would be employed and direct to each citizen the part he or she would have to play in the general act where the nation re- Quired to exercise the right of self defense.
 Third, to grant opportunity to of ficers charged with national de- fense to check details, to make cor rections in plans, to test the effic acy of these plans"
 Alaska last year, made an excel lent record for observance of the first test. In his telegram to the several Alaskan mayors, Gov Parks commented on that record and said, Tt is hoped that this years rec ord will excel that of last year This is possible if every community will take an active interest"
 All American Legion posts are expected to take particular interest in the observance of the day. Their activity last year was big factor in local success, it was said.
