Agreement Still Far
Away in Arms Talk
Germans and French

Paris, Dec. 10-(Pt-"Still a good
way apart was the term used to-
night TO describe the position of the
Germans and the allies with regard
to a settlement on the armament
question. Allied military experts
were distinctly pessimistic after the
council of ambassadors, at two
hour session today, failed to get very
far in the direction of recommending
that the control of German anna
ments be placed under the direct
jurisdiction of the league of nations,
instead of the inter allied control
commission, as at present
The council of ambassadors simply
drafted new report" similar to that
of yesterday, and sent it to Geneva
for the league council. These minis
tiers have it in their power to accept
the claims of the Germans in good
faith and settle the whole affair, but
il is more likely the ambassadors
will be asked to continue their efforts.

JENNINGS BITTER

vous breakdown, caused principally
because I overexerted myself in an
effort to give the New York Nation
al League team every ounce OF en-
ergy had in my system in 1924, and
1925, while Manager John j. NC
Graw was ill.," said Jennings, Judge
Francis X. McQuade and Charles
Stoneham, owners of the Giants, ab-
solutely deserted me. cut me off the
payroll and from that day to this
never directly asked my by wire or
letter or word of mouth how / felt.
Those two men, along with their
secretary, Joe Tierney, Stunned me
in every way and proved to me that
they were unfit for me to have any
dealings with, and therefore, l am
through with the Giants, much as l
would like to go back to mingle with
my real friend, John McGraw, man
ager of the club, who stuck with me
all the way through and did all he
could to assist in my recovery.
when one is down and out physi-
cally and can't see much brightness
in life, one can be helped only by
those whom he feels are ris friends
and God, to whom I give my thanks
for my complete recovery. / can't
help but remember that the owners
of the Giants absolutely forgot all
I had done in excess Of what my
contract and remuneration called for
in 1924 and 1925 when they were left
in a hole through the disability of
one of the greatest baseball leaders
the game has ever known, John J..
McGraw. They cast me aside as one
who would be of no further use to
them, and therefore, are not entitled
to any consideration.

TO PROBE where
THOMPSON Gets
FUNDS FOR TRIP
Coolidge Lackey Is Now
Under Fire


WASHINGTON, April 49, Senator
Kings resolution, inquiring of the ad.
ministration the source of the funds
which are to be used to send Carmi
Thompson on junket to the Philip
pines, has been adopted by the SEN
ate. Before it was permitted to go
thru, it was shorn OF its preamble,
which pointed out the political mo-
tive of the president in sending this
friend of Gen. Wood to the Islands
to investigate and report on their
value to the Emitted States.
Carmi Thorn son, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor in
Ohio, and nominee two years ago, was
picked by the president to go to the
stands to study and report on their
wealth and hafticularly the advan-
age which they offer, as a possession,
TO American business. This, to the
mind of Coolidge, was the quickest
possible way t.. stamp out the agita-
ton for Philippine independence.
Politicians OF twice the experience
of Coolidge, recalling the history of
American relations with the FiHpinos,
judged that he had chosen the worst
of all possible methods of quieting
the independence agitation. Senator
King, as an advocate Of independence,
demanded that the illegality Of Coo
lidge's play be shown up at once.
Congress has never appropriated
penny for use in sending a White
House political or commercial agent
to Manila.
Mission Broadened.
While the first announcement of
Thompson's selection indicated that
he was to confine Investigations to the
Philippines, later conferences held
with Coolidge have resulted in the
broadening of his mission to include
a comprehensive survey of conditions
in the other American possessions in
the Pacific. Guam, Hawaii and Samoa
will also be. objects of his inquiry.
Imperiallst Policy.
How closely connected this mission
with the general development of
american imperialist policy is evil
lent from the fact that he will take
long a dozen Or more government
Experts and that he has been in
tructed to return a comprehensive re-
port on natural resources which can
1e profitably exploited by United
States capital.
Thompson's investigation is ex
ected to furnish the president for a
.hange in administrative procedure
hat will unity the colonial policy Of
he country, tho the greatest i'm
portance is attached to the political
aspect which deals with overcoming
the resistance of the Filipinos to the
penetration of American capital into
chose islands. What American bust
ness desires and expects Coolidge tc
secure is the breakdown of this very
resistance.

The Prolet-T Tribune
Has Warm Reception
at the Workers House
sy a Worker corrs.sonaens

The seventh number Of the Russian
living newspaper, Prolet-Tribune, is
sued last Saturday night at the Work
ers' House, proved to be very interest
ing. A new comrade joined the staff
Of Prolet-Tribune. He is little Sashka
Morozov, age z.
In a very cute way he has written
up the story how he happened to come
to Russian church school. He is a
pupil of Russian workers school. In
the church school he noticed many pic
lures of "bewhiskered people," They
happened to be the Ikons of the saints.
1t was clear winter night and the
stars were shining brightly. The
teacher, who was the pop (priest)
asked the children how the stars are
kept up the sky. One little girl re
piled that they are pinned up with
pins. The teacher called her a fool
Another child said that the engine
keeps them shining. He was also re
buked by the teacher. Finally a
bright" kid replied that god keeps
them up there.
''That's right" replied the teacher
God holds in his hands the whole
world"
Sashka was wondering how tina
was. At home he asked his father
about it. His father just smiled and
remarked:
"Just imagine what would happen i
gods hands would get tired for /;
while. or if he would doze off, we
would have rain of stars, wouldn't
we,"
A good crowd attended this issue
and were well pleased with the con
tents, judging by the applause.
The next issue Of Prolet-Tribune
will be out Saturday, May Is, at the
Workers House.

Carpenters on Sesqui-
Centennial in Philly
Demand Closed Shop
BY LENA ROSENBERG.
worker Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, April 10. - For
two weeks the officials of the Phila-
delphia district council of the United
Brotherhood OF Carpenters tried to
find out who was responsible for the
employment OF non-union men on the
Sesquie-centennial. Every time a con-
tractor was approached on the sub
ject he claimed ignorance. No one
seemed to know who was responsible.
1t wasn't until the men themselves
decided they would not work with non
union carpenters that the facts came
out. On Monday, April IL, 400 of
them walked out to stay until all con.
tractors working for the Sesqui-cen-
tenial will employ union carpenters
only.
Some contractors working for the
Sesqui-centenial even went as far as
to refuse to employ carpenters who
carried union cards. This was one of
the conditions which caused the car
penters to walk out.
