LONDON, May f6-The railway men
have returned to work on the follow
ing terms: Strikers to be taken back
as soon as traffic permits and work is
found for them; 1.-THE unions admit,
that in calling the strike, they COM

never again TO be instructed to strike
without previous negotiations. The
leaders will not support members

The London Tramwaymen are re-

PILS(JDSKI IS
VICTOR; FORMS
A new CABINET
Unions Call OFF General
Strike
Especial to The Daily Worker

WARSAW, May 16--Warsaw has
fallen to Marshall Joseph Pilsudski's
insurrectionary forces. The govern
ment of Premier Witos has resigned.
President Wojciechowski also gave up
his office and fled from Warsaw with
Witos and other members Of the cabl-
net. The president of the Polish
siejm, L. Rataj, automatically became
president upon the resignation Of No
jeiechowski and together with Pilsud-
ski appointed new cabinet.
The new government is headed by
Prof Charles Bartel, prime minister.
Pilsudski took over the ministry Of
war and August Zaleski, former am
bassador to Rome is the minister of
foreign affairs. The national assembly
will be convoked soon to choose a new
president, at which time the govern
ment will be permanently recon
structed.
Strike Called OF.
The trade unions, which had called
general strike in support of the Pill
sudski coup, have called off Their walk
out. 1t is estimated that a hundred
or more of the contending troops were
killed in the fight in and around War
saw.
Pilsudskl Strong.
PiIsudski's political grip of the
country appears to be complete. The
army is definitely with him. he is
strengthened by virtue of support
from trade union leaders and the gov
ernors of the provinces have Joined
his camp. He has dispatched ennis
saries to the Ukraine and White Rus
sian regions of Poland to quiet the
national minorities with promises Of
democratic treatment"
Economy Worse.
However, the economic status of Pc
land continues no better than before.
If anything the Industries are now
worse off thatn before due to the sus-
pension Of activity that occurred dur
ing the revolt The coal and iron in
dustries in upper Silesia are particu-
larly disorganized.
No Strong Opposition.
Generals Heller and Sikorski, enc
mics of Pilsudski who attempted to
rally loyal soldiers against the rebel
lious marshal have given up their
struggle. There appears to be no party
now strong enuf to challenge Pilsud-
skis hold on the government. Pill
sudski claims to have disavowed any
intention of a dictatorship and de-
clares he wishes only to establish a
5oint government of parties who wish
to run the country in a more effici-
ent" manner than the old.
London Satisfied.
LONDON, May 16-The British for
eign Office regards the Polish upheaval
as a change in government rather
than a revolution, and announces that
the rise of Marshal Pilsudski to power
does not alter diplomatic relations be-
tween Poland and Great Britain.
Moscow's View.
MOSCOW, May 16-The news of
Pilsudski's coup in Poland caused
neither disquiet nor surprise here. 1t
was known in authoritative quarters
for several weeks that Pilsudski was
contemplating something of the kind.
1t is even thot here that the right
parties in Poland were not unwilling
that he should make such an attempt,

WHAT KIND OF FINANCE is
THIS9

"In general" said Agriculture Secretary Jardine
at Portland, Me- last week. 'the agricultural situa-
ton is better than in any year since 1920"
With pride he pointed to the fact that the re-
turn invested capital 46 per cent in the crop
year 1885, while only 6 per cent in 192021.
'The results" he explained, "are due largely to
the intelligence energy and determination of the
farmers"
He neglected to explain that the total agricul-
tural investment due largely to slump in land values
shrank during the period from 900 to $59,778
900. Land values actually fe $16,769479.
On a shrinking investment returns naturally
loom large. AS matter of fact, cash income from
agricultural sales was $1OO23oOO in 192O21 and only
SO 801 900 in 1885, per cent decrease, rather
than a per cent increase.
The secretary also failed to mention that if this
shrinkage in values charged off against agricul
tural operations loss, any business corpora
ton would charge it before declaring dividend, the
net return in 1925-26 would be considerably less
than nothing.

Pardon of Rich Criminal
Adds to Suspicion of
Dollar Justice
BY Nj. e. Tracy

Albert Rowan has been pardoned
by Gov. Miriam Ferguson of Texas.
He was master mind of the second
largest postal robbery that ever &C.
CURED in the United States, and in
directly responsible for a cold-blooded
murder. The Federal Government
sentenced him to twenty-five years
for the former and the State of
Texas to fifty years for the latter.
His pardon obliterates the State
sentence, while Federal law will per-
NIT his parole after serving only one
fourth of the term, or six ana one
quarter years.
Whether 1t had any influence on
the Governor, the fact remains that
Rowan is rich, we'll educated and
enjoyed a high social position before
his conviction. Such circumstances
should have made his offense all the
more reprehensible, but instead they
seem to have operated in an op-
posite direction.
His case is but one of hundreds
that help to create the suspicion
that this country has one law for
the rich and another for the poor.
Whether rightly or wrongly, young
men with more cash than is good
for them get the idea that they can
buy their way out of the most seri-
Gus difficulties, while their less
fortunate fellows grow grabbed and
sometimes criminal on the ground
that it is only too true.

Republicans Bound

Whether this Government was
bound to join the League Of Nations
or even enter the World Court, It
is certainly under obligations to do
something more constructive than
stand off in a corner by itself and
sneer at every effort designed to
promote what it once proclaimed to
be the only issue In the war.
More than that, the Republican
party is definitely committed to such
a policy, not only by several plat
forms, but by the leadership of such
men as Theodore Roosevelt, Elihu
Root, William H. Taft and Philander
c. Knox.
1t was Taft who first voiced the
idea of a league to enforce peace.
It was Roosevelt who put the
United States squarely behind The
Hague tribunal. 1t was Root who
virtually drafted the plan for the
World Court.
If President Coolidge has killed
the World Court by his Armistice
Day speech, as many of its enemies
are quick to shout, he has not only
swerved this government away
from one more dSfnite commitment,
but he has stultified a policy which
his own party has been developing
for the last twenty-five years.
