Esthonian Peasants
Framed by Fascist

REVEAL, Esthonia, Jan. 2S. The
trial of a group of peasants accused
"of expressing their readiness" to aid
insurgents has ended in prison terms
at hard labor for the peasants. The
trial is a result of provocations by
the local fascists and secret service
agents, who appeared at the trial as
Witnesses The accused were SEN
fenced to three to four years at hard
labor. simultaneously the case of
peasant Reinson living on the out
skirts of Reveal was investigated. He
was accused of "that in December
last he was seen near his cottage with
a stranger" Due to the fact that the
prisoner has relatives who participat-
ed in the December instruction, the
secret service agents testified that
this stranger was no other than the
rebel. for whom they were looking"
The court sentenced Reinson to three
years at hard labor.

IMMIGRATION
SHIFTS FROM
u. S. TO S. A.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S-European
emigration has fallen off since the
war, and the idea Of restricting immi-
grafton has not been peculiar to Amer
lea, but has spread to many parts of
the world.
The average emigration from Eu-
rope in the four-year period 192O-2S
fell to $4,000 as compared with l..
$4,000 in the three years preceding
the war. In 1924, the emigration was
only $4,000, with one country omitted,
and in 1925, it was about 450, 900. Even
in relation to population the tide o.
emigration steadily subsidized during
the years 1920-25
Barring of most of the immigration
from the United States has DETECTED
large numbers of Europeans to South
America. Argentina received SO, 400 in
1920, and $4,000 in 1923, with 16O. 700
in 1924. Brazil has shown a less not
able gain. But migration from one
European country to another has in
creased-and this in spite of the pres
ence of great masses of political and
racial refugees from Russia, Armenia
and Turkey in neighboring countries.
Thus Belgium, Italy, Poland, Rouman-
ia, Sweden and Czecho-Slovakia had
a combined emigration in 1928 which
was "a per cent higher than the aver.
age for the four-year period 192O-23.
immigration laws have been tighten
ed up since the war by Brazil, the Bri
fish African colonies, Roumania
Greece, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Serbia,
Hungary, Czecho-Slovakia and Pales-
tine.

Evolution Theory Is
Outlawed in Texas

AUSTIN, Texas. Jan. 2S-Approxi-
mately 20 pages of Truman ]. Moons
Biology for Beginners" for students
in the elementary schools has been
deleted by the school board as unfit
for children to read. The parts ex-
plunged deal with the evolution theory
Of Darwin.
A typical paragraph that has been
expunged follows:
with an egotism which is entirely
unwarranted, we are accustomed to
speak of man and animals whereas
we ought to say men and other ami
mails, for certainly man is an animal
just as truly as the beast Of the
field" Any reference which tends to
show that man evolved from a lower
animal is expunged and teachers will
not be permitted to teach anything In
the schools contrary to the fairy tales
compiled in the bible.

.TOILERS, BEWARE
OF TETRA-ETHYL
LEAD GASOLINE
Danger of Poisoning Is
Great

NEW YORK, Jan. % - Workers
are warned to watch their city and
state health departments to see that
regulations concerning the manufact.
ure, mixing, distribution and use of
tetra-ethyl lead and ethyl gasoline are
adequate to protect the human life in.
volved. Following the United States
public health service conference at
which tetra-ethyl lead investigators re-
ported, the workers health bureau is
sues the warning.
Press reports conveyed the impress.
sion that the committee saw no danger
in the use of tetra-ethyl in gasoline
and thus served as a whitewash over
the menace of this serious poison.
Such grave dangers were recognized
by the committee that it stipulated
that production of tetra-ethyl lead and
sale Of ethyl gas be resumed only after
the introduction of careful and effect
i've regulations by state and city
health departments.
Few if any substances more toxic
than tetra-ethyl lead have been manu-
featured on large scale, the commit
tee reported. This poison is 10 to 20
times as poisonous as benzol, recently
condemned in a report of the National
Safety Council. The committee stated
that "if the use of loaded gasoline be-
comes widespread, conditions may
arise very different from those studied
by us which would render it's use more
OF hazard than would appear to be
the case from this investigation.
Longer experience may show that
even such slight storage of lead as
was observed in these studies may
lead eventually in susceptible indi-
viduals to recognizable lead poisoning
or to chronic degenerative diseases Of
a less obvious character"

Inter-Union Contract
of Engineers and the
Firemen Still Stands

OMAHA-(FP) - Continuance Of
peace between the mighty brother
hoods of Locomotive Engineers and
Locomotive Firemen seems assured
with the failure of the Engineers
referendum to abrogate the Chicago
joint agreement, regulating interunion
relations regarding seniority, promo
ton, mileage and other disputed
points.
Although majority of the Engi-
neers brotherhood Is understood, ac-
cording to advices here, to have voted
for abrogation of the agreement, the
referendum failed to receive the two
thirds majority of all the members,
as required. Abrogation would have
meant the negotiation of a new agree
ment, with turmoil between the work
ers in the engine cabs in the mean
time.
The Chicago joint agreement, nego-
tiated in 1913 and revised in 1918 and
1928, replaced a bitter war for mem
beers carried on by both brotherhoods
for many years. At that time the
fremen added the words land Engine
men" to their official title and accept
ed full-fedged engineers into mem
bership. Although the Chicago joint
agreement conceded the right Of an
engineer, fireman or hostler to seek
membership in either or both brother
hoods, the hostilities between the un-
ions was allayed by the truce.
