progressives to keep the progressive
delegates from leaving the convention
The progressives must build up their
groups, in every lodge. They must
invigorate the lodges and start cam
paigns to get the workers into the
union. Organizations are not built
in a day-and control Of organizations
is not won in day. Impotence is
the worst quality for a trade union
list; they still have not the organiza-
ton under their influence. They must
continue the fight. They must make
the fight on the floor of the con-
vention. If they are unseated, they
must go back to their lodges and take
up the fight once more.
Let the progressives take as an ex-
ample the fight of the left wing in
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union. They too were on
the verge of splitting from the union
at least their tactics at the con-
vention might have led to that But

in the organization that nothing can
blast. The fight in the Amalgamated
Association will be longer than in
any other union. The steel compa-
mics prefer the leadership of men like
Tighe, who have no intention OF Or
ganizing the industry, and they will
aid this leadership in every way. A
small group of workers, just enough
to pay the expenses Of the national
Office and to make 1t possible to raise
assessments for organization work
and for strikes that never occur, is
all that Tighe wants.
Issue Fighting Program.
Perhaps the convention itself-but
II not the aftermath of the conven-
tion-will teach the progressives the
necessity Of issuing a program to crys-
talize the progressive sentiment in
the organization. The fight for it
must be made in every lodge OF the
organization-not to capture the offic-
es, but to inflame the membership
with a new, militant spirit. which then
in due time will sweep Mike Tighe
and his lot not only out of the Anal
gamated Association but out Of the
entire American labor movement

nished. One of those arrested yester-
day was Felix Penarisi, who has been
a thorn in the flesh of the Passaic
cossacks because of his activity on
the picket line. He was arrested in
front Of hall where a meeting was
in progress on the charge of calling
an officer "unprintable names" PEN
arisi says he cannot conceive Of any
one being able to insult Passaic cop
and states that his arrest was unpro-
voked as he would not waste his time
talking to such degraded creatures as
the brass-buttoned cossacks who are
so cowardly they assault defenseless
women and children.
All those arrested yesterday were
held under 800 bail with the excep-
ton Of Antoinette Raginsky who is
held under 5000 bail on the charge OF
assaulting an officer. A policeman
who was busy with his club beating
the strikers testified that the girl
punched him with her fist, knocked
off his cap and then trampled It in
the mud. After hearing this tale of
woe the Judge decided that helpless
policemen must be protected from
striking girls and so raised her bond
to three times that of the others who
were arrested with her.

Receipt Of the full text of the regu-
lations for application of Mexicos
much-discussed alien land laws makes
It possible to see how successfully the
United States government has pro-
tected Wall Streets interests to the
detriment Of the Mexican people.
Secretary Kellogg's threats have had
their effect. President Gales has re-
treated so far that the struggle for
the effective establishment of article
27 of the Mexican constitution still re.
mains to be taken up in earnest.
Whereas article ~, as we'll as the
land law itself, provide expressly that
foreign corporations may not own
land within 100 kilometers of the ma
tional frontiers or within so kllo-
meters Of the coastlines, the special
regulations issued by Gales make the
provision practically a dead letter.
Mexico's oil lands are nearly all
within this prohibited zone"
New Regulations.
Section Of the new regulations
reads as follows:
"In conformity with Fraction 4, Ar
ticle ~ Of the constitution, Mexican
firms which are referred to as consti-
tuted to exploit any classes Of indus
tries, factories, mines, oil or any other
businesses that are not agriculture,
even when the former are in part or
whole controlled by foreigners, may
acquire, possess or administrate lands
within or outside Of the prohibited
zone, but only to the extent that they
are strictly needed for the service Of
the objects indicated, and always
with the permission that is expressed
in Section q" (Section 2 provides
that foreign exploiters must agree to
consider themselves as Mexicans be-
fore the law, in regard to their Mex
lean holdings).

french CONFER
ON PEACE Terms
WITH RIFFIANS
TribeSnen Meanwhile
Keep Up Attacks
tspsolaI to rhs paIIy W0rkerl

PARIS, April H. Premier BRAND,
High Commissioner Steeu, military
governor Of Morocco, War Minister
PainIeve and General PetaIn conferred
today over the peace proposals from
Abd-eI-Krim. They were kept In wire
less communication with conference
at Rabat, French Morocco, where en-
lssaries Of Abd-eI-Krim, France, and
Spain were In session.
1t is known that ,Krim demands
autonomy for the Rift. The Spanish,
it is reported, insist that he recognize
the spiritual suzerainty of the sultan
of Morocco, The Riffian leader fears
that such recognition would merely
lead to further Misunderstanding as
the sultan has no real power.
The Riffians meanwhile have been
worrying both the French and Spanish
with intermittent attacks, seeking out,
evidently, the weak spot in their
lines. Even the important base camp
of Ain Aloha on the Ourgha river
has been the object of such feints.
Trlbesmen Waverlng.
The Riffians are conducting a con-
tinuous propaganda campaign among
the other native tribes. This has af-
fected to dangerous extent the Suss
tribes, which occupy the foothill coun-
try of the Grand Atlas mountains in
the southern French zone of Morocco.
These tribes are of the same racial
origin as the Riffians, both coming of
white Berber stock.
Spanish Use Poison Gas.
The Riffian battery at Adjir inter-
mittently bombards the, Spanish fort
ress at Tlhucemas Bay. Tho the Span
ish are employing poison gas both in
shells and in bombs dropped by air
planes, they are unable to dislodge
the hardy gunners. The use of poison
gas is prohibited by the international
code of war, but the Spanish are TAX
ing advantage of the fact that the
Rif1ans were not signatory to the
agreement.

Steel will mean every kind of con
flict.
In the Amalgamated there is a pro-
gressive group, made up of militants
of every shade. AS. yet there is no
harmony within the progressive
groups, for they have adopted no de-
finite program. It Is the duty of the
Communists to furnish this program
and to weld together the dissenting
progressive groups.
Mike Tighe is determined to rule
the coming convention, and will use
every technicality, subterfuge and
ether method in order to crush the
opposition. Some Of the delegates
present at the convention will pos
sibly be contested. They may be
charged with not being in good stand
ing. Why they are not, is one of the
matters to be brot up before the con-
vention. Mike Tighe, however, will
probably not let matters get that far.
They will be unseated and the case be
closed.
There is a tendency on the part
Of some delegates to refuse to sit in
the convention if such decision is
made. There is a tendency to with
draw and hold a rump convention.
Withdrawal and a rump convention
means split.

1t is the same fight between the

Too Many Laws

Lawmaking is still rampant. Unit
ed States lawmakers in 1925 consid-
cred 40,986 bills, ultimately putting
1908 of them on the statute books.
In Nations Business Agnes C. Laut
writes that these laws are solely state
and federal, not municipal nor county
regulations; and if you doubt the fig
ures, please write to the National In
dustrial Council, Church Street, New
York, and get condensed list of what
the law mill grinds out each year, and
who pays the bills, and what the en-
forcement costs and how many jobs
are created, first to issue the laws
and second to enforce the laws.
Then you will have a dizzy idea
why taxes go up, and who pays the
taxes, and who gets the taxes. It's
all right if you like it. I'm not OBJ
jecting. I'm just stating a fact. If
all the bills proposed in one rich mid

it would have added to the indebted

CORN ON THE COB

We have with us again, corn on the
cob, and with it comes greasy fingers
and ears both kinds, and also the GUS
tomary apology that one can't eat
corn on the cob and do it prettily.
Corn-on-the-cob season is not a propi-
tious season to begin teaching table
manners to youngsters who are inclin-
ed to get such things by following the
example of their elders. There is
always the unspoken, but nonetheless
thoroughly understood, warning:
"This stuff goes during the corn sea-
son, but you youngsters remember
that when the season is over, fingers
and ears are not supposed to be
creased"
We have all about agreed that
vacation is good for everybody. In
Berlin, they are so thoroughly agreed
on that point, that the horses are be-
ing given vacation. And why
shouldn't there be vacation for those
who practice table manners. Even
picnics have evolved to a point where
people take their table manners along
with them, and wives frequently OBJ
ject to having their husbands grab
off lunch some place.
orn-on-the-cob season is a season
for fattening, and in this age of diet
ing, it would ordinarily be banned.
Other foods, equally tempting, have
been blacklisted. But corn on the
cob is still welcomed 1t is still the
vacation period for those who practice
table manners. Corn on the cob can
still afford to snub Emily Post, and
anything that dares to ignore the
rules of manners is going to be look

ROTARY SEES THE POINT

Rotary clubs of Minnesota, led by
the Minneapolis organization, have
reached the conclusion the Pioneer
Press and Dispatch sought to empha-
size all through the 1925 legislative
session. The existing Minnesota
practice of putting its recreational re-
sources on the auction block without
making a corresponding effort at re-
Punishment is foolish, eand the Rot
arians unanimously recognized it as
such.
The point to Fridays conference
was the step taken to represent the
businessman's attitude to the next
legislature. Presumably the attitude
is not new, and yet when the issue
was up at the 1925 session, save for
organized sportsmen, it lacked repre-
sentation. The result was S250,000
appropriation for the State Game and
Fish department as Minnesota's two
year investment in protection of a
S65, 1000, 000-a-year resource, defeat of
the resident fishing license plan and
niggardly treatment of the Forestry
department, which is supposed to pro-
tect and extend the forests, habitat of
game and protection of the lakes. The
story might have been different if the
Rotary conference had been held dur
ing the legislative session. These off
year conservation conferences are for
gotten and the public demand they
represent to no effect unless steps
are taken to extend their influence to
the time when the state gets around

WAR WITHOUT A TRUCE.

The horrors of war have become
something of political issue. Less
Of a political issue than they were,
but political issue still.
Queer that nobody has made great
issue out of that other bloody thing
besides war. Queer that nobody has
lectured earnestly standing before a
great chart which carried not the
statement Of American lives lost in
the war, but of American lives lost
in our streets and highways. Queer
that no national day of mourning has
ever been set aside for rejecting up
on this terrible toll of death. War
horrifies us, perturbs us. But the
greater loss by accidents in automo-
biles, hardly makes a ripple in the
public mind. In the Great war, we
had 1929 killed in action.
That is the record of two years of
fighting.
In the two years of 1924 and 1925
the nation had 41,OO0 killed by auto
mobiles. The total casualties aside
from death were almost two to one by
automobiles in the two years on re-
cord compared with casualties other
than death in the war.

Wrecking crews from both St. Paul
and St. James had the tracks clear
ed by s o'clock Tuesday morning.
The night passenger trains from St.
Paul and Sioux City were detoured
by way of Madelia, Fairmont and
Butterfield.
The first car to leave the rails was
a gasoline tank which nosed into the
fill and the liquid escaped through the
dome. The second car was also a
tank car which rolled on its side and
the gasoline escaped. The third,
fourth and fifth cars contained grain
which was scattered about when they
rolled down the dump. The sixth
grain car straddled the tracks and
was badly wrecked spilling the grain.
The first caboose containing three
men rolled over on it's side. Con-
ductor R. R. Ward and stock buyer
escaped with minor injuries, while
Brakeman A. j. Ruthford was thrown
across the car and his collar bone
broken. When the impact came the
stove in the caboose was thrown clear
through the end of the car.
