Pardon Wealthy Booze
Seller Before He Even
Reaches Penitentiary

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 31.-Ray
Zbinden, son of wealthy family and
prominent in republican party politics
here, was pardoned by Governor Hart
ley before he reached the penitentIary
to serve a from six months to fifteen
years sentence for forging $4,000
worth Of automobile contracts to raise
funds to go into bootlegging.
He had been brought to trial in
April, 1925, when he admitted to his
forgeries before Judge French OF
Kitsap county. He was then given a
suspended sentence. The district at.
torney protested and had him arrested
for another forgery. Zbinden pleaded
guilty. Judge Mills OF Seattle gave O
suspended sentence. The case was
then carried by the district attorney
to the state supreme court, which
ruled that since zbinden had been
convicted of felony he could not be
granted suspended sentence. Mills
then sentenced him to term Of from
six months to fifteen years in the
fifteen penitentiary. An executive
parole reached Zbinden before he had
been taken from the Seattle Jail.

Fable of Treaty Violations.
The favorite story that is now being
circulated against Feng by the agents
of Imperialism is that the army Of
Feng is mounting guns on forts which
were supposed to be RACED under the
protocol signed following the Boxer
uprising. Such charges are plain
propaganda of reaction, but they ex-
pose the role Of the foreign diplomats
who are doing everything within their
power to embarass Feng in order to
hamper him in his fight against the
reaction.
Without exception American, Brit
ish, French and Japanese diplomats
sympathize with the counter-revolu-
tionary forces of WI and Chang and
bitterly oppose Feng.

the imperialist countries in this part
of the world.

.LtA|S OFFERS
ARBITRATION
TO OPERATORS
Voluntary Arbitration
Is Proposed
Especial to The Daily workerl


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 31--The
Lewis officialdom Of the United Mine
Workers Of America surrendered yes
terday to the demands of the anthra-
cite operators for arbitration Of all dis
putes between the miners and opera
tors. In order to hide the betrayal Of
the interests Of the miners it Is la
belled voluntary arbitration"
The essence of the proposal is that
a fact-fnding commission composed of
Charles E. Hughes, Secretary of Labor
Davis and Governor Pinchot should be
appointed to make an investigation of
wages and profits in the industry. This
commission of reactionary republican
benchmen shall report to Cancellation
committee of three miners and three
operators which shall have power to
settle the question.
Concession To Operators.
The only objection of the operators
to this proposition is that It leaves
out the word compulsory" arbitration,
and they renewed their demand that
their full demand be granted. The re-
ply of the union officials to this has
not been disclosed.
1t is recognized that this proposal
by Lewis is a definite step toward
agreeing to the operators demand for
compulsory arbitration. One operator
stated, ''In effect, it is voluntary arbit-
ration and represents the furtherest
concession thus far made by the mi
ners to the operators, who have ur-
ged compulsory arbitration from the
beginning"
Lewis Gives In.
The operators by standing pat on
their demand for surrender have fore
ed Lewis to agree with their demands
However they will agree to certain
verbal concessions to enable Lewis 10
put the deal over on the miners. The
operators have not budged an inch
from their demands for a flve-year
agreement, resumption of work imne-
diately at the old wage scale, and com
pulsory arbitration. Lewis has con
cerned himself solely during the nego-
tiations in finding some means of
agreeing to the demands Of the oper-
ators and fooling the miners into &C.
cepting them.
~tt Z
Conference Adjourned.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Jan. 31--The
conference of miners officials and an
thracite operators has adjourned until
next Tuesday when the negotiations
will be resumed. 1t is understood that
the reason for the advancement Is to
allow Lewis to find out the attitude of
the miners toward the arbitration pro-
posal he has made to the operators.
