exchanges turnout Italy will be closed
today. The government issued a de
cree authorizing the exchanges to

ASK u. S. TO GUARD
OLD MOSLEM RELICS

Constantinople, April 3O.-A
suggestion that the United States
should assume the role of "Pro-
tector Of the MoSlem Faith" and
guardian of the relics of the
MOhammedan church, is contain
ed in a curious petition received
by the American embassy from a
group of Mohammedans in Syria.
The petition says:
"The American government is
known for its tolerance and i'm
partiality toward all religious
beliefs. The work Of your relief
organization has been done on a
purely altruistic basis without
regard to nationality or creed.
Recently orthodox Moslems
throughout the world have been
scandalized by the action of Tur-
key in deposing the Caliph. This
action leaves the church without
leadership and imperils the safe
ty of great relics OF our faith.
Would it be possible for the
: great American government to
assume the role of protector, at
|, least temporarily, and to guaran-
tee safe preservation of those
treasures which have come down
to Us from our Prophet"
The sacred relics" hereto
fore in the custody of the Tur-
kish government, are said to in
clude NOah's cooking pot, Jo-
seph's shirt, David's sword, a
tooth of Mahomet, the long cloak
of the prophet, and stone bear
ing the print of Mahomet's foot.

URGES NORTHERN
MONTANA FAIR
CASCADE COMMISSIONERS DIS
CUSS. PROPOSITION WITH 3
BILLINGS FAIR OFFICIAL
Billings Exposition Now Has Property
Worth S330,00O and is Virtually
Free of Indebtedness, Bert Ham
mOnd says in Statement.

Commissioners of Cascade county
were urged by Bert Hammond, man
ager of the Midland Empire fair at
Billings, to get behind plans for the
staging OF an annual north Montana
farm and stock show and the board
reiterated its wish to cooperate in
financing such project.
Mr.. Hammond told the board that
several years ago the Midland Empire
fair was started with $4,000 pond
issue. Today, he said, the county
owns a fair grounds and other proper
ty worth $330,00O, has absorbed it's
bonded Indebtedness and is virtually
free from debt.
Except for the annual one-half mill
levy, which is made each year, the
fair, he said, depends entirely upon
it's gate receipts for support and for
growth.
Present debts, he told the board,
total less than $3,O0O This, Mr..
Hammond stated, was brought about
by improvements made last year,
which cost around $21 1000; otherwise
the fair would now have a surplus,
learned by last years production of
S18,0O0.
Mr.. Hammond told the commits
sioners that Billings and the fair
committee there were anxious to
have Cascade county stage an annual
fair explaining that the discontinue
ance of the state fair was threaten
ing the Billings show, owners of at
fractions being unwilling to send
their shows and exhibits into Mon
tana for just one exposition.

Celebrates Commune

BETHLEHEM. Pa, March 23-The
Bethlehem city central committet eel
ebrated the Paris Commune with all
branches represented. including Hun
garians. Ul1rainians and Jugo-Slovaks.
OF course the population of Bethle-
hem is about $4,000 people, who are
not interested in the condition of their
workers.
Chas. Schwab has got as iron hand
on the people of this city He won't
let anyone go anywhere or read any
thing, that would be of benefit to the
working class. He doesn't care if the
people read jokes, novels or any kind
of capitalistic publications which poi
son the minds of the people.
Bar DAILY WORKER
remember the time, when there
was stand, which had a few copies
of the DAILY WORKER; but that,
too, was stopped by Charles Schwab's
agents, If the stakeholder had want
ted to keep this paper on his stand,
he would have lost his license, and
most likely be driven from the city.
This shows that nobody but Charles
Schwab and his friends rule this city.
We have a mayor and other officials,
who are elected by the people; but
all these officials are bought by the
gold coins, that Charles Schwab shows
them. That is why Charles Schwab
has the power in this city, over all
the people and officials.
The American constitution gives
freedom of speech, and freedom to
organize or belong to any organiza-
ton, to every one. That is only writ
ten on paper and not carried out in
true facts. The American constitu-
ton was made by these capitalists
for their own benefit.
Steel EnsIaves Town
Charles Schwab keeps all the work
ing masses of this city enslaved, as
the Russian car did before the re-
volution. Soviet Russia gives free
dom to all working masses-women as
we'll as men-which they didn't get
before. America gives nothing to the
working masses, instead, she enslaves
them.
We, the workers of Bethlehem, wo-
men and men, appeal to all the work
ers to help us get a freedom of speech,
and right to start and continue any
movements for the benefit of the work
ing masses.

To the DAILY WORKER; This let
ter is from the fruit growing district
of the Northwest You city workers
and miners are no worse off under
United States big business than the
farmers and fruit growers. You are
hired to run the machines for the
trusts.
The only difference is that we are
forced to buy our own machinery and
materials and pay exhorbitant prices.
On top of that we pay taxes every
year for the pillow, harrow, mower,
sprayer horse, cow, calf, chickens, pig
and piglet and anything like furniture.
We must pay it promptly too, or we
are auctioned off to the highest bid

We could endure being skinned
when we buy, but our selling part is
uncomfortable. Last year this Column
bia Valley fruit was killed by spring
frost In 1928 we shipped a full crop

able, but it is true that in 1923
shipped 1856 boxes of apples to a. New
York firm, FURNISHING my own boxes
and lost money on the Shipment
At the rate you are paying for APP
Piles in Chicago and New York
should get about $4,000 for my apples.
But l receive a bill that l owe the
New York firm 100000. 4
Now then, it costs me about. 90
cents to raise box of apples, includ-
ing high irrigation taxes. So at that
rate l am paying over thousand dol
lars on top of what | paid to raise
my apples.
Still. many are wondering why
farmers leave everything and run
away from the land to the cities. l
am not the only one losing money.
The case l have cited is the case, of
thousands of other land toilers, in one
form or another.
And why are we in this predica-
ment. 1t is more the fault of the
United States capitalist owned news.
papers and journals. They are keep.
ing the toilers in lethargic sleep so
that they can be more easily robbed.

be.

the working class in this country.
Macabula was killed by agents of
American Imperialism. The poor peas,

fired on by the so-called Philippine
constabulary reinforced by govern
ment riflemen in motor cars, with
the tacit if not open approval of Gov

to be informed why. The Nueva Eci1a
movement that General Wood seeks
to drown in blood is aimed at the
very roots of the system OF privilege
on which General Woods masters in
Wall Street, New York, live and grow
fat.
Despite the lies which are spread
to glorify American Imperialism, al
most feudal conditions reign in the
rice fields. Thousands of acres Of
rice lands are owned by single indi-
viduals and corporations enjoying fan
tastic profits, while the Filipino peas.
ants who plant, grow and pick the
rice are obliged to live under the most
abominable conditions, in practical
subsection to the owners OF the es-
tates. Large sums of American CAPT.
tai have penetrated into the Philip
pine rice-growing industry in recent
years; in fact, American capital com.
pletely dominates the situation. The
native landowners are mere servants
of the big rice merchants, export
firms and bankers. They are, of
course, bitter enemies of the exploit
ed peasants. But American imperial
ism cannot shirk responsibility for
the conditions that prevail IN the rice
fields.
You can we'll be proud OF the heroic
struggle which your brothers in

That this struggle has borne
