Coolidge to Have Hard
Shedding This Time

A9P0Sidi 10 TINS lazy WOFAbEl
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Troubles
multiplied today for the Coolidge-Mel-
Ion plan for tax rebate at the ap-
preaching short session of. congress.
So formidable has the opposition
now become, and so widespread the
criticism, not only among the demo-
Gratis and insurgents in congress. but
among administration regulars as well,
that it seemed certain that unless
some heroic compromising is done the
whole project will have some ex-
tremely rough sailing.
Can Be Killed Easily.
1t won't take many squalls to eE
fectually kill it, either thru outright
defeat or negation, because the con-
gress that convenes here three weeks
hence has but ten weeks to live. There
are few who believe controversial
measure Of this sort can be damned
thru a recalcitrant congress in any
thing like that time.
Representative Green, republican Of
Iowa, chairman Of the powerful ways
and means committee, which has a
life-and-death control OF all revenue
Legislation, is the latest administra-
ton wheelhorse to question the adj
visibility of what President Coolidge
has proposed and Secretary Mellon
has qualifedly endorsed.
Unsatisfactory" in many respects
is Green's summary Of the scheme,
"The plan of making a reduction in
payments for next year. either on the
personal income tax or that OF corpo-
rations, is workable"

CANTON SUCCESS
CAUSE OF WORRY
TO NORTHERNERS
Fear Invasion of the
North Soon

PEKING, Nov. 15-Recent victories
of the Cantonese armies are causing
much uneasiness in the north.
The defeat OF Marshal Sun Chuang-
fang in Kiangs; and the inability of
Marshal WI Pei-fu to make any
progress, coupled with the ability Of
the Cantonese to cause the soldiers OF
the northern militarists to mutiny and
join the nationalists are rae source Of
worry.
Soon In Yanetse.
The Cantonese have made such
Roadway that they are expected to be
in command of the entire lower
Yangtse basin. This is a strategic po-
sition. as from here the southerners
can press their campaign toward the
north.
Marking Is Goal.
Marking, junction for two impor-
tant railway lines, is the goal Of the
Cantonese. Occupation of Marking
will give the nationalists virtual con
troll of the situation in the north,
Much of the strength that the Can
ton armies have is the solidarity Of the
ranks, something that the militarists
armies lack sadly. The northern ar
mics are continually disturbed by dis
sension and mutiny.

the A. F. of L. officialdom raises its
hypocritical plea, not to the working
class, but to the mythical "honor
and fairness OF the American peo-
pie" that does not exist. 1t is the
capitalist class Justice of the
greatest exploiters Of labor that Is
hungry for the lives of Sacco and
Vanzetti. The profit takers do not
fear "the American people," They
do fear the American working class,
dreading the day of its awakening.
II was in the A. f. Of L. conven-
ton at Atlantic City the following
year (1925) that Vice-President Mat
thew Vol, reporting for the resolu-
tons committee, declared that the
oficialdom resented having the Sac
co-Vanzetti issue injected into every
recurring annual convention. Vol
declared the A. F. Of L. was on
record for new trial and it was
not necessary to reiteTate this stand
each year.
This year, however, at Detroit,
the labor reaction was faced with
the avalanche Of afidavits poured in
to Judge Webster Thayer's court
room at Dedham, Mass, especially
the affidavit of Celestino Madeiros,
absolutely absolving Sacco and Van
zetti from any part in the South
Braintree crime, and the confess
sions of the department of justice
agents admitting the governments
frame-up. Instead of Selling this
opportunity to arouse all labor, how
ever, the A. F. of l.. convention
meekly accepted the recommends
ton Of the oficialdom that congress
be asked to conduct an investiga-
ton of this judicial outrage. Con-
gress is not in session. There is no
opportunity to press this demand.
In the meantime no other action is
taken.
This failure of organized labor to
rally for Sacco and vanzetti is the
concern of all workers. There can
be no exceptions.
The least that any worker can
do is to get literature for distribu-
ton In his own locality. This can
be secured from the international
Labor Defense, 20 South Lincoln
street, Chicago, Illinois, or from the
various Sacco-Vanzetti committees.
Unorganized workers can join in
the local committees. Organized
workers can bring this issue up for
action in their trade unions. They
can write about the case to their
union journals and continually
lombard the officialdom with de-
mands for effective action.
All workers can help raise the
issue even in their local capitalist
press. Mass meetings can be and
must be held. No effort is so small
that 1t does not help add to the
growing protest over the land and
over the world. Sacco and Van
zetti must not die. Only labor can
stop this murder.

CHINESE LABOR

Growth of Cantonese
Strength Feared

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-(FP) -
China's workers, savagely repressed
by the northern alliance OF Chang
Tso-lin and WI Pei-fu, have so
thrown their weight to the side Of
the nationalist government at Can
ton that washington, London, Paris
and Toxic are feeling the direct con
sequences. News from Picking that
the shadow government in Picking
has torn up the expired treaty with
Belgium is followed by news that
Japan has notified the Picking ofFlci-
ais that she is ready to discuss a new
treaty in which China will be, per.
haps, treated as an equal rather than
as an inferior. 1t seems likly that
the turn of London and of Washing
ron is near
Washington Worried.
AT the State Department all IN
quiries are met with the assurance
that no foreign nation has offered
China more than has the United
states. On Sept. g. 1925, the nine
powers that took part IN the Wash.
hngtop conference Of 1922 sent iden-
tical notes to Picking, Offering to dis
cuss the demands made by China In
the matters of tariff revision and the
abolition of foreign courts in China
They said that If, after getting full
information thru Conferences on
these subjects. they could agree with
China on new arrangements, they
would be glad to discuss the situation,
The tariff conference and the extra.

ference were duly launched in
Picking last winter, A report was
agreed upon by the conference deal
ing with foreign courts. It has not
yet been made public, but is known
TO be unfavorable to abolishing these
courts at present. The tariff confer
ence was indefinitely suspended be-
cause no Chinese delegate could be
persuaded to remain in it, Chinese
3 public feeling was strongly against
any further debate of Chinese Gus
toms control with foreigners.
Fear Boycott.
The United States does not ask
the Japanese to wait and discuss
jointly with the other foreign powers
the terms of the treaty by which il
may surrender its courts in China.
It is watching carefully, however, to
see how far 1t must give up its own
special privileges in China in order
10 retain its share of the trade OF
the. country. China has no military
power that western nation need fear.
but its power Of boycott, as prac-
ticed upon the British in the past
two years, is as effective as a block
ade.
Washington and London know
that the shadow government in
Picking is seeking annulment of the
old unequal treaties because the
workers government in the south is
steadily increasing it's sway to. the
northward, and may reach Picking
within a few months. With every
advance Of the Canton or Kuomintang
troops the trade unions are revived,
the militarist reactionaries are
driven out, and the new China, based
on cooperation Of worker and peas
ant and small merchant classes, is
given political organization to main
tain the new regime. Washington
may within a year be negotiating
with a Chinese workers republic,
which will have the sympathy of the
trade unions around the world.

spirit Of '76" Born Of Jest
New York WORLDLY

1.-THE Spirit Of TO- reproductions Of which are
said to hang in more American homes than any
other single work of art, was evolved by accident
from cartoon. It was the artists original inten-
ton to buresque the Yankee Doodle" spirit Of the
country expressed in its tendency to bring forth
the fife and drums at every patriotic excuse.
For some years prior to 1876 Archibald M. Will
lard, the artist veteran Of the civil war, enjoyed
wide vogue as q caricaturist. He first gained
recognition with the comic painting depicting his
three children riding in cart drawn by dog which
was busily engaged in chasing rabbit, and sequel
which showed the dog trumphantly holding the rab-
bit, the wagon overturned and the children tossed
headfirst the turf. Chrcmos were made of these
two pictures and sold by the thousands.
Willard became quite the rage. He illustrated
John Hays book, "Jim Bludsoe," and later made a
picture which SO amused Bret Harte that he wrote
poem to 60 with it.
In 1876 the centennial exposition was held at
Philadelphia, and Willard conceived the idea Of
drawing the caricature of yankee Doodle" The
result was not satisfactory to himself the painting
showing three farm hands, dressed in their work
clothes. parading. Two Of them were beating drums
while the third was Justify playing the fife.
AS one of his models, Willard had used his father.
Baptist minister, born shortly after the revou-
ton as to be still responsive to the sentiment Of that
period. One day the artist caught CLINT Of the
older mans eye which, in flash, revealed to him
what Yankee Doodle" really meant. That instant
he gave up the burlesque idea and started work on
the painting which was eventually to be known -
"The Spirit of TO-" The center figure Of the trio
is Wizards father; the fifer Hugh Moser Of Cleve-
land, Ohio, and the drummer boy, Cleveland lad.
