Antonio Paguia, city councilman Of
Manila, who was arrested about a
month ago by order of the American
dictator of the Philippine islands,
Governor General Leonard Wood, has
been sentenced to serve four months
in an insular prison and pay fine of
$780, Pagiua's only crime was verb
ally attacking and exposing strike
breaker Wood as the representative
Of American blackguard politicians.
In the course of stump speeches
during the recent electoral campaign
in Manila, Councilman Paguia took
the occasion to point out Woods rec
ord as a tin-sabered general and
using exceptionally mild language, he
labeled the general pest of pests, .
and tree without q shade" All of
which, tho true, are not nearly strong
enuf to characterize the wooden
headed, Mussolini-aspiring, cheap, die
tatorial soldier-politician
The worst phrase that the Wood
controlled municipal court which
tried Paguia could find was: "If
death could have been secured by
prayer, he (Wood) would have been
dead long ago"
Whole Nation Against Wood.
This undoubtedly represents the
state of mind of the entire Filipino
nation. But since when was it con-
sidered a crime in the christian
world to call upon the omnipotent god
to better the lot of the Filipinos, fu-
tile tho this political procedure may
be? Every preacher in the world dur
ing the world war was praying for the
death Of some millions of soldiers in
one fell swoop.
The court concluded that express
sions from Paguia against the United
States government during the cam.
paign were in themselves sufficient to
incite the populace to rise in arms
against constituted authority and
create public disorder. The court
further held that the attack upon Gen.
eral Wood was not only to be consid-
cred against him personally but also
as an attack upon the United States
government, thereby recognizing le-
gally that the brutal tactics of Wood
is none other than the Coolidge in.

Opposition Attacks the
Estate Reduction Clause
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

N~FNNT11' 70 7 - -V'''y - y TNVII
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 - With the
ways all creased by republican-de-
mocratic coalition, administration
leaders were confident today of quick
passage by the house of the new
1887, 100000 tax reduction bill.
Scattering opposition from both
parties, however, is intent on recon-
hitting the measure, centering the at
tack on retroactivity of estate tax re-
ductions, which would slash as much
as Is per cent from payments due the
government in 1924 and 1925.

Try to Frameup Crouch.
He is reviled on every occasion.
In many instances his conduct has
been little short of heroic in that he
was sufficiently self-contained not to
incur another trial by retaliation in
kind. Abuse is heaped upon him and
he has no redress. There is no alter
native but to suffer it. 1t seems as
tho there is a conspiracy afoot to in
volve him in an alteration that will
lead to another court martial.
No Communist literature is permit
ted in the prison. For a short while,
to silence adverse comment, Crouch
and Trumbull were permitted to re-
ceive The DAILY WORKER and the

mediately stopped. At present they
may not receive radical literature Of
any description Even the Nation is
denied them. Books sent them by
sympathetic friends are either de-
stroyed, returned to the sender or
placed on deposit until he is released.
This does not apply only to Commun-
ist literature. There have been in
stances when literature that has moth
ing whatever in common with Com
munism has been denied them, merely
because it treated radical subject.
Friends may not visit the comrades
in prison. No one is permitted to see

that it is almost impossible to com
pose a letter that will pass. They
may not mention any occurrance in

Therefore the comrades who have
been so good as to write them and
who have never received an answer

of consideration and appreciation Of
the kindness that has prompted their

Reporters asked Vera what she thor
about Washington. Washington ne.

more, I am afraid, than some Of the

Evidently having gagged pretty ac-
curately the mentality Of a public

the countess related a few private
conflabs she had had with the invis.

a male, was quite unable to withstand

her prayer was granted almost imme.

OPENED AUG. IS
First Section Of Wrangell
Narrow Project Is Near

The new Wrangell Narrows Chan

opened on August Is, for all steam
ships operating in Alaskan waters,
it was announced today by Major L.
Il. Oliver, Asst District Engineer.
Board of Engineers, who returned
early this week from visit to the
project. 1t is possible. he said, that
the dredge may be occupied in that
vicinity for an additional week after
that date but the channel across the
bar will be in service.
The Lighthouse authorities have
been requested to notify all vessels
of the opening date, Maj. Oliver
said. The channel across the bar
will be 200 feet wide and "a feet
deep at low water. In addition to-
this new channel, lead line soundings
just completed by Engineer James
Truitt, in charge of the project, has
revealed a channel of not less than
is feet at low water through the
narrows.
Move Much Material
The big dredge on July 10 had re-
moved 321 900 cubic yards of sand
and gravel from Petersburg Bar and
80 600 from shoal number three at
the entrance to Scow Bay. 1t had on
that date about 100000 yards yet to
be removed from the bar, making
the total excavations when it shall
be completed $4,000 cubic yards
This will complete dredging of the
north end of the narrows. The big
boat averages about 5000 cubic
yards daily, Maj. Oliver said. In
setting August Is as the opening
date, several days leeway have been
allowed for possible delays and
other unforeseen contingencies. When
1t is done the dredge will return to
its headquarters on Puget Sound.
Investigations made this season by
Mr. Truitt indicate that there re-
mains about 100000 yards of silt,
gravel and similar material to be
removed next season. Owing to
water and land conditions in the
narrows, it will be necessary to re-
move it with dipper dredges instead
