The protest was voiced to presid-

'Is it customary" ask barrow, "to
open case in this court with a
prayer for the success Of one OF the

Bryan faced two new controversies
as a result of his sermons to Dayton
audiences.
On one side he was attacked by
Michael Williams, editor Of The Com
monwealth, catholic publication for
his alleged purpose to put god into
the constitution" On the other he
was criticised by DR.. Charles France
Potter, unitarian of New York, for
his lack of knowledge" Of the school
ing Of Jesus.
Bryan said: 1.-THE purpose of this
trial is merely to prevent attacks on
the Bible and the introduction of ir-
religion or forms of religion antagon-
istic to the religion of the taxpayers.
EFF this" said Williams, replying,
sis not an open and avowed intention
to bring about union between
state and one particular form of re-
ligious belief protestant fundamental
ISM, then there seems to be no sense
in Mr.. Bryan's words"
Bryan Doesn't Know Bible.
The attack on Bryan's biblical
knowledge on Jesus education came
when Dr. Potter spoke from a plat

an afternoon sermon.

he Bryan has been too busy doing
other things to read his Bible" Pot

FIVE MINERS co

VEIN EXPLOSION
BY AUGUST VALENTINE.

NANT1COKE, Pa, July IL. - The
Pittston hospital is a receiver Of five
more victims as result Of an explo-
sion in the Red Ash vein at the Exeter
Colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co.
which last year made over seven mil
lion dollars in profit. The miners are
beginning to realize thru bitter expert
ence that the profits Of the coal bar
ons are made out OF the mangled
bodies OF the miners.
A cavern in an old working forced
a pocket Of gas into the shaft where
the men worked and the explosion fol-
lowed. AS the news Of the explosion
spread, large crowd, composed OF
.he wives, children, and friends OF the
miners gathered at the foot Of the
shaft. II is said at the hospital that
the men will recover.
Another "incIdent."
A minor explosion occurred in the
mine where work. The miner was
burned about the face and hands. AL
tho the explosion took place Satur-
day, did not learn about II till Tues
day, as the company did its best TO
cover up the news Of the accident.

thus calling attention to himself, "ac-

Loud outlaws of laughter swept the

work they send to New York will be
taken good care of-all rightee! "We

repudiated "gentleman's agreement"

over the admissibility Of scientific
testimony reconciling evolution with

Tense counsel to launch at once their

Green a Perfect Echo
for Kellogg

WASHINGTON, D. c. July 13.---The
class collaborationist function Of the
higher labor union bureaucracy Of the
American Federation of Labor was
no better discharged by Samuel Com
pers in the days when he delivered
American labor to the "war for demo-
cracy" than when William Green re-
sponded Instantly to the need to mo.
blllze working class opinion for the
position Of American 'ImperiaIist in
terest as stated by Secretary Of State
Kellogg Sunday after interviewing
President Coolidge.
Always "Stand Behind the Govt"
The policy of Green is Gust as the
policy of Gompers was) to follow ex-
actly in the steps of the American
state department in all foreign poll
cies, not going an inch further or
trailing an inch behind.
There is no establishment then, that
Green, now President Of the A. F. Of
L., should, within "a hours after the
policy of the United States govern
ment was announced, have made pub
lie the following letter to President
Coolidge asking for a conference of
the powers on China" The letter,
written for propaganda, reads:
"Sir: On behalf of the American
labor movement, l wish to urge for
your favorable consideration and
speedy action that the United States
take the initiative in calling an inter
national conference to make plans to
abolish extra-territorial rights in
China.
Since the Washington conference
on the limitation of ornaments and
political questions in the Pacific and
Far East, convened at our invitation
in 1921, provided for the appointment
of commission to study this subject
and that action was not carried out,
there devolves upon us a Responsible
ty for keeping the faith with China
and the friends Of international just
ice to see to it that the intent of that
pledge is redeemed. SYST
There is every reason to believe
that the fundamental cause for pres
ent disturbances in China is due to
special privileges given foreign ma.
tions in treaty pacts and that the abo-
lition of extra-territorial rights of
foreigners is necessary to Chdnas
administrative integrity and sover-
eighty. The Chinese are an ancient
veloped distinctive culture Of rare
qualities, and they have a right to
demand the respect and. defense ac-
corded to national sovereignty.
"Our American trade union move
ment believes firmly that our republic
stands for ideals of human justice and
equality of opportunity for all and
that these ideals must direct not only
national policies, but our relations
with other countries"
1t will be quite as easy, however,
for Green as it was for Gompers, to
change clear around If the govern
ment does, and express contrary
policy. H

War Makers Always Talk Peace.
American imperialism's pretensions
Of a desire for peace and its cunning
propaganda designed TO make chs
masses believe It's government is
morally justified in contesting the in
terests of Britain and Japan even to
the point of war, is based upon the
seemingly praiseworthy issue of actu-
ally fulfilling the agreement called the
'Nine-Power Pact" with reference to
considering ultimate abolition" of
extraordinarily in China, and the
highly moral end of bringing peace
to China and the Far East"
The effort to put Britain and japan
in a bad light before the American
masses as provokers of a war. can
easily be seen in the news dispatches
Of the capitalist press. No capitalist
news from Washington or Swamp
scott is free from subtle propaganda
to justify the attitude Of American
imperialism's governmental mouth
piece. An example may be seen in
the following quotation from a cap
italist news agency today:
Putting Propaganda over.
Failure Of Great Britain and
Japan to accept at once the Amer
lean suggestions that sufficient time
has now elapsed since the Washing
ton armament conference to 90
ahead with the program outlined

OF China, has handicapped the sec

the door has not been closed to a

later the powers will have to get
