manufacture of that dairy product. A
motorist in New Jersey was recently

they didn't amount to much it

GALS ECONOMY
BUNK EXPOSED,
EXPENSES RISE
Government Spends 81
Million More In 1925

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-Despite
the heralded Coolidge drive for econ
omy. the cost of operating the Ameri-
can government during July-the first
month of the new fiscal year-showed
sharp increase over the same period
of 1924, the treasury department re-
ported.
The total cost OF government last
month, the treasury announced, was
$245, 592,753, an increase OF $37, 597, 900
over federal expenditures in July,
1924.
In the face OF the presidents orders
for strict economy, a majority of the
government departments showed high
er costs of operation in July than In
the same month OF 1924.
The treasury itself used s5,500,000
more in July than year ago In re-
funding internal revenue receipts,
while an increase OF $5,700,000 was
noted In civil service retirement pay
ments. The veterans bureau also
showed an increase OF $4,000, 900 in
monthly operating costs. while the
state, treasury and agriculture depart
ments all showed $1,000. 900 increases.

HIt British Trade.
The Canton government proposes
to American traders that all ship
ments of American goods for Canton
should be first landed at Shanghai and
trans-shipped by Soviet Russian or
Chinese steamers to Canton, as strik-
ing workers are refusing to handle
gods passing thru Hong Kong or
transported in British ships.
Great Britain is thus threatened
with a vital loss of trade, and she
has every .imperialist reason to be
worried over the situation. But with
the Shanghai settlement yesterday
made between the Chinese and the
Japanese, whereby the boycott Of
Japanese goods is ended by the
granting OF practically all the de-
mands of the strikers by Japan, puts
Britain into a position of isolation
and she may not be able to gain any
support from other imperialist rivals
in a war upon China or even the
Canton governments part OF China
Real diplomacy will move slowly
In these circumstances. and 1t is to
be remembered that China, while not
strong military centralized power,
has 100000 soldiers under arms in
the various provinces under the al
most independent governors, and that
war Of intervention would take at
the least estimate on the part Of i'm
perialist military experts, and army
Of 100000.
II the United States could, as the
imperiaiist powers figure. be in
duced to join in war of intervention
it would be asked to furnish 100000
men and to keep them there for two
or thre years. And this would cost
some s2,OO0,OOO,OO0 or more. And
in the end the situation would be the
same-or worse-for the imperialista
as when they started.

agitator, is back from five-months

Only a Few seabs.
OF the thirteen hundred men in
volved there are no more than two
dozen who have shown any desire to
return to work until the miners de-
mands are granted Most of these
are miners who have been duped
into joining the ku kIux khan and
constitute the only support in the
miners local of the sub-district oflci-
ais who are responsible for the walk
out.
Trouble Over checkweiuhman.
The trouble started almost two
weeks ago when the union check
weighman protested that the COM
pany was running the coal over the
scales so fast in Mine No. 1 that he
couldn't record correct weights.
He reported to Henry Corbishley,
president OF Local s92 which controls
Mine No. 1 and Corbishley notified
the men that theirseoaf was not being
weighed. The men walked out of the
mine thirteen hundred strong.
Officials Side with Company.
The sub-district officials were call
ed in to settle the dispute. Instead
Of forcing the company to correct the
trouble at the scales, Vice-president
d. B. Cobb OF Sub-District 9 Of the
U. M. w. of A. notified the president
and the pit committee that they were
deposed. The sub-district officers then
called a special meeting of the union.
The men demanded that Cobb reopen
the case and reinstate the deposed Of.
ficers. Cobb fatty refused.
Refuse to Elect New Officers.
Cobb and Len Fox, president of the
sub-district, then called upon the men
to elect new officers. This they re-
fused to do. Cobb then arose and an
nounced the appointment of a presi-
dent and pit committee known by
the men to be klansmen. The meet
ing adjourned.
Progressive Miner Murdered.
Before the miners left the hall. a
man by the name of Wilson hit ]. B.
Farthing, a miner sixty years old.
Farthing's son fought his way thru
the crowd to his fathers side and a
fight started. A klansman named
Hargis killed one of the leaders of
the local union, Mike Saravich, as the
latter walked from the hall.
When the melee started Cobb. the
vice-president, pulled a black Jack
from his pocket. This was grabbed
away from him and he was hit a
number of times.
Cobb Swears Warrants.
! Two days later, Cobb swcre out a
warrant for twenty six active mem
bers of the union whose names were
given to rim by one OF MS spies in

arrested and charged with conspir-
