CALIFORNIA AUTO
Club BOOSTS FOR
BETTER Highways

A recent issue of the Great Falls
Tribune carries the following item:
The Automobile Club of Southern
California, which now sends more
tourists to Montana than any other
organization, is hopeful that Mon
tanas initiative good roads bill,
which is to be voted on at the gen.
eral election in November, will be
adopted because it is realized that
good highway system in this state
will not only benefit Montana but
all western states as well, according
to Hugh Richard Sly and Harold A.
Cline, representatives Of the Cali
fornia club, who are in Great Falls.
Mr.. Sly and Mr.. Cline are engaged
in mapping the principal highways
OF the state and also taking pictures
along the way which later viii be
placed on file in the Southern Cali
fornia clubs offices in Los Angeles
Tor reference purposes.
Statistics show that California
sends more automobiles to Montana
in the summer than any other state
in the union," MIR. Sly said, "anc
while your state already has some
good highways it is apparent thai
there is a real need for more sur
faced roads which will be available
for use at any month in the year.
eve are particularly interested il
the work being done by the Montana
Automobile association in encourag
ing the voters to approve the initia
tive measure which will insure an ade
quate highway system for Montans
for it is evident that the visitor
which our organization sends to tn
state will increase and che Montan
automobile owners also viii benefit
the measure is adopted"

MRS. v. c. DAWES
URGES DEFEAT Of
INITIATIVE No. 80

Strong condemnation of Initiative
No. 30, known as the "wet" measure
was voiced by Mrs. w. c. Dawes,
president of the Montana w. c. I. u,
at the organizations 43rd annual con-
vention here last week.
President Dawes, in her annual
message to the convention, declared
that Initiative No. 80, which would
repeal all Montana's prohibition laws,
was an attempt of the liquor people,
as a part of a nationwide campaign,
to nullify the 18th amendment. >
She said in part:
Flaws N. A. A. p. A.
"The citizens of Montana adopted
statewide prohibition in November,
1916, by a majority vote of nearly
10000. When congress submitted the
18th amendment to the federal con-
stitution for ratification, Montana
was the seventh state to ratify. Now
the liquor people of Montana propose
to nullify the state policy adopted In
1916. and the national policy agreed
upon in a constitutional manner and
with the concurrence of our state, by
Initiative Measure No. 80, which will,
if passed, repeal all our stat prohibl-
tion laws, even those relating to the
sale of liquor to minors.
"We recognize this attempt of the
liquor people as part Of the nation
wide campaign to nullify the Eigh-
-teenth amendment to the federal con-
stitution. An overwhelming vote
against this measure will prove thai
the citizens of Montana are sober
minded, law-abiding, loyal to the con
1-t;cn of tie United States, anC
that they resent the intrusion of the
National Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment in our state
affairs, and further that the people
of Montana are capable of governing
themselves.
SurTcnder of Rights
"This measure is a surrender O.
our state right to enforce state ant
national policy. 1t will not legaliz
light wines and beer, because Of tn
Eighteenth amendment and tae Vol
stead act.
"Thele are Approximately 1,2O
state, county, and city officials /
Montana charged with the rospOnsi
bility of enforcing the rr2aibitio
laws. If This measure passes, it wi
take from these officials the author
ity to enforce prohibition, and til
responsibility would be left solel
with the 13 federal officials with
our state.
"The adoption of this measul
would put our state in the same ella:
with New York-rum-controlled, fo1
eign-cOntrolled New York. We {
not believe the loyal, patriotic pc,
pie of our state will allow this pc
nicicus notification measure to pass

LONDON, by MALI the formal

Gil decision to give Mosul to Irak has
taken place at the Foreign Office here.
The copies are in English and Arabic

The binding of the British cosy is
in blue with gold lettering and orna-
mentation, while Irak's copy is black
with Irak's colors-red, black, white

Thus did the British conservative

its own confscation Of Turkish terri
tory which the league of nations had
to admit England had absolutely no

VOLUNTEER TO
HELP PASSAlC
STRIKE RELIEF

AS the strike of the Passaic textile
workers enters the thirteenth week,
the need for relief becomes greater
and greater. The bosses are attempt
ing to starve out the strikers. These
textile workers are fighting for short
er hours, higher wages, better working
conditions. A lowering of their living
standards means that the bosses in
other parts of the country will try to
lower wages, increase hours and wors-
en- living conditions.
The strikers are carrying on a fierce
battle. They are assaulted daily by
the police thugs and other lackeys Of
the textile barons. The combined for
ces of the bosses are lined up against
them. These strikers are determined
to win their strike. There is only one
thing that can defeat the strike. That
is the lack of food, clothing and shell
ter. The bosses know this. They are
trying to starve out these workers.
Are you going to let them do it?
The International Workers Aid has
arranged for house to house collec-
ton for Saturday and Sunday. Every
worker should turn out to the stations
that are published below and aid in
the collecting of money for the Passaic
strikers.

PRIESTS REFUSE
TO OBEY SCHOOL
LAWS OF MEXICO
Conspire to Boycott the
Public Schools
Especial to The Daily Worker,

Especial TO The Daily WorSer1
MEXICO CITY, April 15.-The con-
flict between the government and the
catholic church is widening. The
church has cast down the gage Of bat
tie to the Gales administration thru
the publication of statement by
committee of principals Of catholic
schools refusing pointblank to permit
government agents to inspect their
schools, as required by law. The nuns
and priests strenuously object to any
supervision of their courses OF study
or inquiries into the sanitation and
other health provisions in their insti-
tutions.
In addition to their objections, the
principals ask that a part of the state
school tax, equivalent to the portion
received from catholic taxpayers, shall
be turned over to them for the ex-
penses Of the parochial schools.
This defiance of the government Is
certain to result in the closing Of the
schools of those signing the petition,
amounting to approximately a hum
dred. The catholic hierarchy has
openly conspired with the catholic
population to refuse to allow their
children to attend the public schools,
pledging the parents to boycott those
institutions.
The highest representative Of the
catholic church now in Mexico, Bishop
George ]. Caruana, pap delegate to
Mexico, has been summoned before
the immigration authorities to explain
how he got into the country. The
reverend gentleman failed to appear.
AS a consequence the government is
expected to order his arrest
There is no official record OF his
admission into the country. There
have been rumors ever since his COM
ing that he entered illegally. His
failure to explain the matter is taken
as an admission Of his guilt. When the
investigation first began it was an
nounced that If Caruana was found to
have entered illegally. he would be de-
ported just the same as anybody else.

MOONEY OPPOSES
ANTI-ALIEN LAW

CLEVELAND, April 1.-THE Cleve-
land Council for the Protection of
Foreign-Born Workers has received
an answer to letter sent to Con-
gresham Charles A. Mooney protest
ing against the anti-alien bills that
have been introduced in congress.
Congressman Mooney in his letter
points out that these bills are of the
most vicious character and pledges
himself to fight against their adop-
ton.
The letter received by the Cleveland
council follows:
"My Dear Mr.. Duchan:
Il am just in receipt of your valued
favor of the 31st with which you en-
close a resolution adopted by the
Cleveland Council for the Protection
of the Foreign-Born Workers, in which
they protest the alien registration
bills. Of course, you know how
enthusiastically l join with you in
your action on this measure. The
registration bill is a most dangerous
proposal and | do not hesitate to say
to you that 1 believe it is largely due
to the most vicious kind of bigotry,
Sincerely hope we can prevent its
reaching the floor during the present
session.
Sincerely yours,
Charles A. Mooney"

Brea Tank Farm Goes
Up In Big Oil Fires

LOS ANGELES, Calf, April 15.-
The Brea tank farm Of the Union OIL
company was apparently doomed for
destruction early today, with three
tanks on fire and the refinery de-
stroyed. The fire in the refinery
threatened twenty-five 55,000-barrel
tanks near the third reservoir. Dyna-
mite charges were planted to turn
back the flames If the town of Fuller
ton and Brea, nearby, are menaced.
The fire, like the one in San Luis

LONDON, April 1.-THE refusal by

Their reduction of ornaments by in
ternational agreement or otherwise.
Altho the Baldwin government has
announced 1t will do all possible to

coming disarmament conference, it is
now rumored there is a chance that
the preliminary conference scheduled
for May IS, in Geneva may be further
postponed.
The ambitious disarmament propos'
ais Of the league of nations, constt
tuting the most complicated problem
with which the world has ever been
asked to deal, are still matter for
negotiation. Unless Great Britain
France, Italy and Germany can reach
a basic agreement on these proposals
it is anticipated that there may be
a postponement of the whole matter
Prefer Postponement.
The league of nations suffered a Sc
we're blow to it's prestige when the
question of Germany's entrance was
left unsettled because of disputes, and
league leaders would rather postpone
the disarmament conferenc than to
take a chance on another failure.

A closer View.

Upon investigation these novels in
their interiors beggar description
Many of the houses were built years
ago for one family houses to accom-
modate the more poorly paid workers.
When new they were hardly fit for
human habitation. Many of them
have no toilets inside and those that
are outside are frozen many months
of the year so they are useless. Hun
dreds of them are without bath rooms.
Instead of one family inhabiting
them today, there are three and four
families living in the closest intimacy
which absolutely precludes the posi-
bility of privacy for men, women or
children. Besides the members of the
family many of the places also shelter
roomers and boarders who share the
pitiful quarters.
The rooms, already small, are fur
ter divided with the most crudely
constructed partitions thrown to-
gether with boards obtained from dry
goods boxes. A very large proper
ton of these houses are constantly
damp because of the leakage of the
roofs while the plaster inside the
rooms is, in many cases, completely
gone. The walls of many of them are
infested with vermin of various kinds
while countless thousands of rats
scurry thru the walls and, at night,
one walking thru these districts is
astounded at the hordes of rodents
that scurry hither and thither on the
sidewalks, in the filthy cutters and be-
tween the houses. Not infrequently
infants and the aged and infirm are
attacked by these pests.
