AUTO THIEVES HEREAFTER
GO TO THE FEDERAL PEN

Federal District Judge Fred c. ia
cobs &of the Phoenix division declared
war Tuesday on automobile thieves.
Every power of his court, he de-
clared. will be used to curb the steal
ing of automobiles which, he added,
is becoming one of the most serious
problems encountered by law enforce
ment officers. The exercise of his
power, he continued, will be to send
the automobile thieves, except in
F'most extraordinary cases" to the fed
eral penitentiary.
The declaration of Judge Jacobs
that all of the power of his court will
be thrown to the assistance of the
agents who make arrests was made
following the sentencing Saturday of
eight men to the penitentiary after
they had pleaded guilty to violating
the Dyer act. The Dyer act makes 1T
federal offense to transport stolen
automobile from one state to another.
Only the most extenuating circum-
stances, Judge Jacobs declared, will
in future save the defendant, held
guilty in his court of automobile
thievery, from the penitentiary.
The announcement of the war on
automobile thievery was received with
commentator by city, county and
federal law enforcement branches.
Judge Jacobs and Judge w. III. Saw
telle of Tucson, by their severity in
the fixing of sentences, are credited
by law enforcement branches with do
ing more to curb the illicit narcotic
traffic in Arizona than any other sin
gle thing. They predicted that the inn
posing of penitentiary sentences will
similarly discourage the importing of
stolen automobiles to Arizona.

This angered the British trade
union leaders who were at first in
clined to take it in good faith. When
the yellow socialist leaders of Am

British trade unionists decided to
deal directly with Moscow and the
London conference was the result.

part to the Trade Union Educational

that the present development in the

AS WE SEE 1T

THE Milwaukee socialists are not
i looking for trouble. This may be
a surprise to many people who think
socialists want to get rid of the CAPT
talist system quickly. They don't.
They simply want to help it along so
that it may quietly pass away, some
time In the distant future, the more
distant the better There was an
election in Milwaukee recently and
one OF the propositions to be voted
on was a traction scheme, which the
company favored. So did the social
lists.
HERE is where the surprise came
Ii in. Many workers cannot under
stand what class collaboration means,
but when they see socialists and a
traction trust battling side by side
they begin to develop suspicion that
there is something wrong. The Mil
waukee Leader evidently heard the
murmurs of surprise and attempts to
lay the ghost with the following edi-
torial comment: Some folks may
think it strange that socialists should
be on the side Of peace with the COM
pany A good many people think we
socialists like fighting 80 well that
we do not want peace. But that is
not true" 1t is not surprising that
the Chicago Tribune should endorse

~ resentative OF the Mexican gov
eminent, in passing thru Washington

recent troubles of the Mexican gov
eminent with the trade unions. Cal
les is socialist but he has been
making war on the radical agrarians
and on the radical trade unionists
since he got into ONCE. Haberman
says that Gales stands on the plat
form of the class struggle, but of
course, If the workers continue to en-
barrass him by struggling with the
capitalists, they cannot expect Gales
to stand very steadily.

taken. Ramsay Macdonald had the

BOSTON, April H. Strikes and
rumors of strikes fill the air in this

astute politician does not want to step
in until he is assured by both sides
that his findings will be accepted.
If the mayor refuses to act, the
state board of Cancellation and ar
bitration will offer its services to
vert tieup. But the workers are
suspicious of the state board, and
with good reason too. 1t has always
decided in favor of the employers.
Neither have the rank and file of the
workers any confidence in the mayor
or the other capitalist politicians.

ing the open shop in the building
trades in the near future, but this is
considered a threat TO scare the work
