RUSSIAN OIL
PRODUCTS BEAT
BRITISH PRICE
Oil Syndicate A g ent
Elated Over Success

MOSCOW, March 10.-The decisive
success met with by Soviet oil prod.
ucts in the northern part Of Afghani.
stan was the gist of the statement
made to press correspondents at Ca.
bull by a representative of the Russian
Oil Syndicates recently arrived at the
Afghan capital. gIiJ
An experimentIwhich has just been
made, he said,Cin sale of Soviet oil
also in the south of Afghanistan, has
proved quite successful A consingn-
ment of oil products brot to Cabul a.
the time of the5Hrrival in the capital
of the Oil Syndicate's representative,
has been rapidly sold out there owing
to prices being cheap and lower than
those of the British products. An
agreement has sbeen concluded, too,
for supplying OIL products to a number
of public institutions.
The representative of the Russian
Syndicate FURTHER stated that he had
received inquiries from a considerable,
number of organizations and merch.
ants about the possibility of bringing
other Soviet goods to Cabul, such as
sugar. manufactures, kitchen ware,
and so forth. The Cabul merchants
urged that the Afghan market is anx-
ious to purchase Russian manufac.
lures again, which formerly had
brisk sales in Afghanistan; they lay
stress on the fact that Soviet manu-.
features would find willing market
actually, too, even if the prices of
these goods were to be higher than
those of the English textiles.
The general feeling in circles con.
cerned is that the settlement Of regu
lar commercial intercourse between
the Union Of Soviet Socialist Repub-
lies and Afghanistan, which is eager
to buy Soviet goods, is a question of a
very near future b.

including the establishment Of the
currency on a gold basis, with sur.
plus of governmental receipts over ex-
penditures.
The appropriations for education for
this year are substantially larger than
the pre-war appropriations under the
old czarist empire, which has nearly
one-third more population than the
Soviet Union. All state appropriations
are expended under the supervision
Of the central authority of the com
missariat of education, which this
year will have $70,O00,000 of these
appropriations. OF this, $4,000
was appropriated by the federal gov
eminent, as special fund for inn
proving the condition of college pro-
fessors and students. The educational
item forms more than q third of the
entire budget Of the various states.
Local revenues available for educa-
tional needs are estimated this year
at $4,000, 900. rse

Moldavian Soviet
Makes the Runanian
Bourgeoisie Uneasy

MOSCOW, Feb. Is (By MALL =
Refugees from Bessarabia here tell
that Roumanian government circles
have been feeling extremely nervous
about the formation of the Moldavian
Soviet Republic; the authorities in
Bessarabia are especially nervous.
However, the broad popular masses
of Bessarabia have greeted the form
alton of the new Soviet republic with
unveiled enthusiasm. The toiling
masses are eagerly following any
news from Moldavia, while even the
petty bourgeoisie makes no secret OF
its desire to see Bessarapia join the
Moldavian Republic as soon as pos
sible. Commercial circles in Bess'
arabia also believe that such an issue
is the only way OF reviving the trade
OF Bessarabia now completely para.
lyzed.
On the other hand, terrible reac,
ton has again set in and a ruthless
policy of "Roumanization" has been
renewed in Bessarabia ever since the
formation OF the Moldavian S. S. Re
public. Among other things the few
Russian and Ukrainian schools and
cultural institutions that still remain
ed have now been finally closed.

Loman Bros. Desert
Eskimoes They Used
to Steal for Them

Moscow.-(By MaiI.-It is report
cd from Washington that the Ameri-
can company, Loman Bros, has en-
phatically refused to comply with tho
request made by the state department
to the firm to defray the cost Of trans
porting from Vladivostok to the Unit
ed States the Eskimoes who were
brought by the Soviet authorities from
the Wrangel Island where they en-.
gagged in illegitimate fur hunting for
the said American company. oio3
1t is further learned that the state
department has no intention to under
take any steps with regard to the
mentioned fact of bringing those Es-
kimoes to Vladivostok by the Soviet
authorities, as there is no desire to
make diplomatic question" out of
the case. 1t is equally obvious that
the state department is not putting up
any claims to the sovereignty of the
United States over the Wrangel
Island. s.as

LUMBER CO.
SUED BY NEGRO
LABOR LEADER
Killing of Union Men
Comes Into Court

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)
NEW ORLEANS, La, March TO-
The damage suit brought by Sol Da-
Gus, Negro lumber union organizer,
against the Great Southern Lumber
company growing out Of the organ
ization Of the lumber workers OF 5o-
galusa, In 1919, has been opened In
federal Judge 7eattie's court here.
Daeus Is suing for $1o2,36o for In
Iuries suffered at the sands of the
lumber company and their tools, ''the
Loyalty League" when his house was
burned down.
The Loyalty League" on Novem-
Der %, 1919, shot dead four white
members Of the central labor coun-
ell Of the American Federation of La
Dor at Bogalusa, who were protecting
the Negro organizer. One of the muir
dered men was the president Of the
council. and another was a union car
penter. The men walked, armed, down
the streets Of Bogalusa, protecting Da-
Gus. The lumber company tools fore
ed the union leaders to retreat to a
garage, and demanded that Dacus be
turned over to them.
When the union men refused, they
were shot and killed. The four un-
ion men who were killed were L. e.
Williams, J. E. Bouchillon, Tom
Gaines and S. ]. O'Rourke.
Dacus has included six members Of
the Loyalty League" who were en-
plOyed by the lumber company to
disrupt the union, in his damage suit.
These men are Harold Wilcox, John
Gulotta, Dave Bern, Mike Berenson,
J. B. Lindsey and Louis Levert.
Dacus charges that these men and
other lumber trust gunner attempted
to expel him from Bogalusa for his
organization work, repeatedly threat
ened to lynch him, and aided in the
burning Of his house and the killing
OF his defenders.
The lumber workers were finally
locked out, and told that the only
condition on which they could return
to work was to tear up their union
card. This they refused to do and
the lumber interests resorted to VIC

ey MUTILATEp.

The disabled world war veterans
have been forgotten by the capitalist
Coolidge government, but the political
favorites and millionaires have been
remembered. The Teapot Dome par.
ties, who receive orders from Wall
Street, are entirely neglecting the war
veterans who contracted incurable
maladies as a result of exposure to
the severe strain of military service
or who were MANNED at the front
Two hundred thousand were disabled
in the world war, and thousands OF
them will never recover.
On the eve of adjournment congress
dealt blow to the disabled ex-sol.
diers, by failing to pass relief meas
ures for the benefit Of these disabled
service men, who were victims of
capitalist Imperialism.
The provisions to permit the rein
statement Of the war risk insurance,
with two months back payment OF
premiums, the granting of permanent
rating for arrested tubercular ex-serv-
ice men, and several other measures
for the relief of the disabled soldiers
were eliminated by congress. Thous-
ands of soldiers upon being demob-
ilized, were forced to give up their
war risk insurance because they could
not pay their premiums.
Now the healthy ex-service men are
allowed to take up their insurance
again without the payment of back
premiums. However, the disabled
soldiers, because the insurance com
panies fear their death, are discrim
mated against. They must pay al
their back premiums If they are tc
have the war risk insurance. This is
the penalty for having been wounded
or having contracted disease in the
world war.
However, Wall Street remembers
its friends. Congress has passed the
ten million dollar disqualification bill
which gives the politicians the right
to give out to their favorites con
tracts totalling ten million dollars
The corruption practiced by Charles
Forbes took place under similar bill
The disabled war veterans and
other victims of the capitalist system
must know that thru the leadership
Of the Workers Party and only thru
the establishment of the proletarian
republic will they achieve justice
which is possible only when the work
ers become the masters of their own
destinies and not the slaves of the
capitalists.
Thousands of world war veterans
are being contracted out to schools
for a few months, doing vocational
work for which they are not fitted
and against their will. These work
ers are then being discharged as IRE
habilitated," to shift for themselves
Thousands of them, unable to do q
days work, or compete with healthy
workers, are forced to take non-union
jobs, and thus lower the standard OF
living of the working class. Other
thousands are walking the streets
without work, facing starvation.

MEIGHAN COMES
THRU FOR The
PICTURE TRUST
L attest Picture Reeks
with Capitalist Bunk

When Tommy Meighan recently
made a really creditable picture.
Tongues of Flame" in which, for the
FIRST time on an American screen, the
Indian was placed in a decent and true
light, it was clear that this popular
star had to go either forward or else
slump back Tongues OF Flame"
offended against every capitalist
taboo. 1t showed up the crooked,
cowardly big business methods, the
sheep-like ways of middle-class mind
ed workers even when goaded to
violence against the big business
which had endangered their little pro-
perty holdings, and in contract to this
cheap hectic struggle, it showed the
calm, happy life of the Indian tribe.
Meighan even violated simultaneously
the inter-racial marriage taboo and
the plnte erich marriage for the noble
hero" reward when he rejected the
shallow, selfish rich girl and married
the little halfbreed Indian school
marin. 1t was SOME picture-mobs
that set fires and baked the firemen,
race riot, Jail delivery, and many
other thrills-but the newspaper crit
les damned it with every phrase and
sheer at their command.
MeIghan Sells Out
When 1t came out that Meighan had
picked this story himself, over the
protest of his directors and press
agents, we had hopes that the think.
ing group of independent, progressive
actors headed by Douglas Fairbanks
and Charley Chaplin, had a new re-
cruit.
But is was not thus to be. Meighan
has heard the call of the box ONCE
and returned to the fesh-pots Of the
plutes. His next picture was called
Coming Through. This is a slight
ly adolescent slang phrase meaning
to give someone what you've got to
deliver. Tommy does just that and
by way Of penance for his last fall
from grace, he delivers with com.
pound interest.
The story is bald. A clerk marries
his boss daughter, but the dam
seFs thrill evaporates when the Old
Man calls the bridegroom a fortune
hunter. Male prostitution even when
sanctified by church and state is not
yet a fully approved road to wealth.
