world war because it meant the break
down OF German resistance, but hor-
rifed even at the thot Of such flag
appearing in America.
A wonderful general strike has been
going on in Mexico, he stated, quite
unknown to the workers of America.
1t appeared that an adjutant colonel
Of the army, together with several
privates, met a labor organizer who
had come to a Mexican city to union
lie the miners and shot him to death.
It was coldblooded murder, utterly
without excuse. Every organized
worker in the entire country stopped
his work for two hours in the morning
and two in the afternoon on the day
agreed upon for the demonstration of
protest against the murder. Not
machine was running; not store was
open. Everything came to stand
still. 1t was labor's method of empha-
sizing its demand for the punishment
of the murderer and warning against
any repetition of the deed.
According to Horn, the Mexican
miners are not yet organized. Due to
this fact their conditions are intoler-
able. He stated that a government
report in 1914 revealed the alarming
fact that 81 per cent of the miners
were suffering from venereal diseases.
A subsequent investigation in 1924
showed further increase in such dis
eases of 5 per cent. These terrible
conditions are due to the fact that
foreign capital and the Roman cath
Ollie church are working hand-in-glove
to exploit the Mexican workers to the
utmost.
The Mexican Federation of Labor
convention, he stated, condemned both
these oppressive agencies, calling up
on the government to break entirely
with the church and to restrict the
operations of Imperialism.
President Gales gave a special au-
dience to the American delegates. He
said that Gales assured them that
while he had the highest regard for
the American people he despised the
American exploiters, such as Harry
Chandler, publisher of the Los An
geles Times and one of the blacklist
reactionaries in all America. Chandler

He and his kind, Horn declared, are
responsible for the present contro-
versy between the two peoples.
uOvsr, the ann, lon~xy o,,I,f
tration board of Mexico. While It is
not at present dangerous to Mexican
labor as the governmental represent
atives are most likely to favor the
workers, here in the United States. he
pointed out, the exad reverse would
be true. The Mexica unions, he ex-
planned, do not fear snjunctions be-
cause their judges al 4 even those on
their supreme court 1Rre not lawyers
and are therefore much closer to the
people. 90
An educational treat for the dele
gates came when he read aloud many
of the Mexican national
constitution. These, in themselves
were a striking Indictment of the
shortcomings and deficiencies of the
American Federation of Labor, both in
policy and method. Particularly did
his whole speech point out the need
for labor organizing itself into a
mighty labor party and fully organic
ing its economic power on militant
basis, looking to the conquest of
power.

Fear That Execution
Would Arouse Koreans
Causes Communication

TOXIC, March 29.-The prince re-
gent has committed the sentence Of
death passed on Boku Jun-Shoku, a
Korean, and his Japanese wife, Fumi
Kaneko, yesterday for their part in a
plot to kill the emperor, to one Of life
Imprisonment. The Communication is
believed due to the fear that their
deaths would give new life to the Ko-
rean movement for independence.
The two we're arrested two years
ago, but the fact has been concealed
all this time under the police regula-
lions which allow of such prepos-
ferrous action.
Mrs. Jun-shoku met her husband
while working In cafe.

Presently when she had hathed Mr.
Sperry's back with the liniment and

she got down her package Of soap.
She unwrapped it upon the kitchen
table-there were several layers of
paper.
Mrs. sperry was the kind OF woman
who takes big jolts in a quiet way.
There is nothing 50 unalterable as
fact. She simply stood and stood
without a sound.
At that moment the kitchen door
opened and Mrs. Franklin entered.
Mrs. Franklin was plump dark and
pretty.

demanded.

Mrs. Hussey and Prof. and Mrs Rich.
ard A. Rossiter, will leave New York
Saturday on a years expedition to
South Africa. there to map the dou.

The expedition is the elimination
OF plans laid nearly a decade ago.
Robert P. Lamont Of Chicago offered
to finance a 27.inch telescope, but
the making Of the lens was delayed
by the World War and then by the
death Of workmen selected TO do the
polishing. The instrument was not
completed until last year. 1t was set
up here and tested. then demounted
and sent to South Africa.
The observations will be made from
q lonely hill in the Orange Free State,
q site selected by Prof. Hussey after
a tour Of South Africa. The spot
is regarded as ideal because Of excep.
tional visibility, the almost constant
clear weather and the enthusiastic
support given by the government Of
