German Police Forced
By Workers to Arrest
Fascist Murderers

BERLIN, Dec. 10.-Faced with nu-
merous revelations by the German
radical press, the police were force
to proceed with arrests against tn,
members Of the fascist murderers' or
CARNATIONS. II is doubted that the
courts will treat these murderers with
the full severity of the law.
Some of these arrested bandits have
already been released; but revolution.
airy workers are kept in prison wait
ing for a trial for months and even
years. This is German class justice.
The fascist murders In eastern
Prussia were carried on so openly
that the police we're forced by public
protest to arrest them. Many bank
rupt business men, who had ESCAPED
leaving large debts, were found amonf
those arrested, and had lived by ter.
rorizing the workers.
II has become known that a letter
from Ludendorf was found In the
pockets Of one Of those arrested. Docu.
ments were also found proving clearly
that these people we're carrying on
espionage work for the allied states
and were In close contact with reichs-
wehr authorities.

christian" Poland's
Justice at Work

WARSAW, Dec. 10-During the de-
bate on the prison administration in
the Polish parliament the Jewish M.
P. Sommerstein said the following on
the basis of the material that the in
vestigation commission of the sejm
presented:
Most political prisoners are kept
already for years under the most ter
rible conditions in arrest on reward,
and then it is proved, even by the pre-
JUDGED courts, that they were COM
pletely innocent. The chief of the po-
litical police in Lemberg tortures the
political prisoners with electric cur
rent. There have been cases of the
poisoning Of prisoners with strych-
nine, of the raping of girls and of the
wounding of women near their sexual
organis."
The minister of justice stated in
his answer that the excuses in the
prisons were caused by the agitation
of the International Red Aid, as the
bolsheviki did everything possible to
SANDER Poland and make it appear as
country of white terror.

Lampert Report on
Aviation in Congress
Supports Col. Mitchell

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. The
Lampert report, which will be present
ed to the house of representatives
by the house committee investigating
aircraft backs the viewpoint advanced
by Colonel William Mitchell, the tool
of the airplane interests, against that
expressed in the Dwight w. Morrow
report, whose big hacker is Gary Of
steel trust.
In the Lampert report, among the
recommendation to congress is one
calling for the creation of a secretary
of aviation on equal footing with that
of the army and navy. The recon-
mendations call for the expenditure
of not less than S10,000,OO0 to be used
in the production of airplanes in fac
tories owned by civilians.
It calls for the elimination of COM
petition between army, navy and pri-
vate establishments.
Another point demands that con-
tracts for airplane material be made
without competitive bids.

GERMAN JODLESS
AND BANKRUPTS

No Cut in Rediscount
Rate, Says Reichsbank

BERLIN, Dec. 10.-Industrial de-
preston is increasing. The Prussian
trade minister's monthly report for
November was distinctly unfavorable.
1t is true, that report predicts con-
tinuing although slow increase in the
export trade; but unemployed work
men in Germany as of Nov. 10. are
stated at 471,S53, comparing with $685.
919 or Nov. 1.
This is the largest increase Of any
fortnight since last winter. Bank
ruptcies in November also numbered
1920, as compared with 1,1S9 in Octo-
Der and only us in August.
People who had been hoping for
easier money were somewhat disap-
pointed by DR.. Schacht's decision, an
nounced yesterday, that the Reichs-
bank discount rate would not be re-
duced, but that he would merely mod
ify the banks system of rationing dis
counts.
This rationing plan was adopted
early in 1924 in order to prevent a
new wave of imitation; the bank then
announcing that it would not increase
the volume of it's discounts above that
which had been reached in the pre-
ceding April.
In September of that year, however,
the bank added 16 per cent, to it's ra-
tioning percentage. Bankers on the
whole approved of Schacht's decision
regarding the bank rate and are tax
ing the ground that there is no use in
lowering the rate until credit rationing
is either abolished or materially re-
Taxed.

SENATERECESSES
TO DECIDE FIGHT
ON LAFOLLETTE
Hated Because He Is Son
of His Father
Especial to The DAILY Worksrl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-With
Coolidge reported as favoring the po-
litical chastisement of Senator La
Toilette, the senate stood in recess
today while republican leaders sought
to reach compromise upon the treat
ment to be accorded him.
The insurgent issue, even though
apparently settled in amicable fashion
at last Saturdays republican confer
ence, was revived in the senate, it was
said, because house republicans GUST
ed the Wisconsin delegation from all
party assignments. The Influence of
the president, rumor had it, favored
this course of punishment for the in
surgents who bolted the party in 1924,
and leaned toward similar discipline
for young LaFollette.
Afraid of Next Year.
Capitol Hill meanwhile thrilled to a
report that a secret session of the re-
publican committee on committees of
the senate, charged with settling the
LaFollette dispute, almost broke up
in row over the issue. One faction,
led by Senator James E. Watson Of
Indiana, and Senator William M. But
Ter of Massachusetts, the presidents
spokesman in the senate, were said to
have demanded the ousting of LaFol-
lette from all republican privileges,
not so much because of his own rec
ord, but because he was son of his
father.
This attitude was bitterly fought by
western senators on the committee,
who argued that such course might
easily estrange the progressive vote
of the west and result in the election
of a democratic congress next No
vember.
The committee at any rate reached
deadlocked on the question of what
to do with LaFollette." 1t will heet
again next Monday to render deci-
sion, but behind the scenes, leaders
continued to seek an agreement be-
tween the rank and file of the party.
Coohdge's influence was said to have
been brought into the row by Senator
Butler, his close friend and confidant.
Butler was reported to have argued to
his colleagues that friendly treat
ment of young Bob would be, in effect,
reputation Of the party's action last
March in ousting his father and three
other insurgents. Butler also was said
to have urged punishment of young
LaFollette because the house repub-
licans had shown no mercy to their
insurgents.

BELGIUM AGREES
TO EVACUATE RUHR
Will Leave Cities She Holds
in General With
draWaI.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, July 1.-THE Belgian
government has agreed with the
French and British for the early
evacuation of Duesseldorf, Duisburg
and Ruhrort, simultaneous with the
evacuation of other places in the
Ruhr.
Recent dispatches have said prepa-
rations were being completed for the
allied evacuation of the Ruhr not
later than August 16, the date fixed
by the London agreement of 1924,
which put the Dawes plan into effect.
Already a number of small towns in
the Ruhr have been evacuated. Essen
and Bochum are to be freed soon.
Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort
are so-called sanctions cities" and
their evacuation was made conditional
by the London agreement upon Ger
many's fulfillment of her Dawes plan
obligations.
Although some allied troops already
have been withdrawn from the Ruhr
and other Withdrawals are continuing
every day, political police will remain
until August 16 as an indication that
the occupation technically continues
to the date specified by the London
agreement,
