ARMS EMBARGO JUSTIFIED
IN ARREST OF ESTRADA

Gen. Enrique Estrada, principal
general in the late not lamented re
bellion headed by Don Adolpho de la
Huerta in Mexico, has just been
crudely but firmly "pinched" in Cali
fornia along with about $50 others on
a charge of plotting against friendly
government.
United States officers put Estrada
under arrest and crowded the Jail
with the general and his embryo army.
The arrest demonstrates the neces-
sity for the embargo which President
Coolidge has placed upon shipment Of
arms into Mexico, except where con-
signed to the government. Estrada
was about to start for the border with
a heavily armored tank, two lotion
trucks loaded with rifles, machine
guns and ammunition and trucks for
the transport Of, troops.
Trade unionists will remember that
while de la Huerta was in Vera Cruz
heading his foredoomed rebellion he
sought to lure Samuel Gompers and
several other labor representatives to
that city in the hope of winning him
to his side. He held forth rich re-
wards to one or two.
That it is easy-as easy as buying
a suit of clothes-to buy arms and
! ammunition for such illegal ship
| ment, is we'll known. 1t is equally
well known that ever since the failure
| of the de la Huerta rebellion the
embargo is the only thing that has
kept contraband shipments from
crossing the border, though no revolu-
tionary movement has been on tho
horizon. Bandits, however, constant

Labor Day Edition
38 Pages
80 PAGES TO-DAY

The Press, this week, comes out in
an extra large edition, with many ex-
ira pages, and we are proud. Not
because of our large size, but proud
because of the fact that we have the
confidence of the local advertisers to
the extent that makes the extra large
edition possible.
Very few advertisers, when ap-
preached, refused to subscribe for
space in the annual Labor Day edi-
tion of the Press. Whereas, on the
other hand, the advertisers seemed
not only glad to subscribe space but
anxious to show, by subscribing, their
friendly feeling for the organized
workers of the city. And to have the
confidence, the esteem and the good
will of the business and professional
men, manufacturers and the employ
ers in general, and the unions, the
Press represents, as shown by their
generous subscriptions, is, to the
Press, great matter for pride.
To all those who, by their generos-
ity, made this large edition possible
the Press desires to extend it's sincere
thanks.
This issue is replete with labor do
ings throughout the world, and the
Press urges all union members and
others to read it carefully.
The Press further urges all mem
bers of organized labor to show their
appreciation to the advertisers in this
issue by extending to them theil
patronage.

impression made through such a ma

Labor Day, 1926, shows gratifying
progress for the idea to which the
day is dedicated. Though there are
serious industrial problems, though
there is unemployment, though there
are many kinds of industrial inequi-
ties, we do not feel helpless before
our problems. We have methods and
agencies of proven value. We have
intelligence and we know the value
of information. We feel competent
to carry through and we have demon
strated our dependability. We rely
upon organization and education.

Each time they make repairs, the
railroad company lunches a little in
the raising of it's tracks until now the
rails are from three to four inches
above the street level at the Front
and Second street crossings on Syca-
more street. The ties on Sycamore
street, between Front and Second
streets, along st. Johns Church, are
now above ground. It is positively
dangerous to any automobile to drive
over the above named crossings unless
at very slow speed How long and
how much farther is the railroad
company going to be allowed to

ly need arms land bandits always are
potential rebels, given the right back
ing Of money and the right promise
Of future power.
But the best proof of the wisdom
of the continuance Of the embargo is
in the present arrest Of Estradt and
his followers. It also is proof that de
la Huerta, fugitive in the United
States, has not given up his ambi-
ton to win the Mexican presidency
by force, backed, no doubt, by financial
power equally unprincipled and
greedy.
Success of any rebellious move
ment as that nursed by the renegade
de la Huerta would without doubt
mean the exile or death of most OF
the leading Mexican trade unionists'
and a severe blow to the movement
itself, if indeed it could survive such
reactionary political event.
The arms embargo is doing the
cause of progress service.

LABOR SUNDAY

Sunday is Labor Sunday. In many
of the churches the day will be OBJ
served by special reference appropri-
ate to the day by the various minis
ters. Labor Sunday has grown to be
an important anniversary in many
churches.
The observance of Labor Sunday
by the trades unionists of America
was recommended at a convention of
the American Federation of Labor,
the churches being requested to de-
vote part of the day to the present
tation of the problem of the work
ingman. 1t was further resolved
that the various central and local la
Dor bodies be requested to cooper
ate in every legitimate way with the
ministers, who would thus observe
Labor Sunday, seeking with them to
secure as large an audience of work
ingmen and others as possible.
1t is urged that every member of
organized labor attend some church
at least once next Sunday.

revert to a nephew. Abe Kaffenburs
of Paris, on their deaths. The fortune
is estimated at $1,25o,000. Friends
here believe that the will will be read
after the funeral.
1t was Kanenburg's denial Of the
existence OF q son of the late lawyer
that led young Hummel to press his
claim that he is the legitimate heir
OF the Hummel fortune. The Portland
man asserts that his mother, Leila

married secretly and that he is their
son. His mother died when he was
5 years old.
To help prove his claim, young
Hummel is growing q mustache in
order to increase what friends declare
a close facial resemblance to the late
