WASHINGTON, June State de-

Of this private army stood guard over

Especial to The Daily worksr)

GENEVA, Switzerland, June s. -
How hypocritical are the more ad-
vanced" Christian nations was shown
in the league of nations opium traffic
committee, when the English, Hol-
land and German delegates objected
TO a proposal to limit expectation of
drugs. The Chinese delegate. Min.
lister Chu Chao-hsin, became angry.
Your government he said to Van
Wettum of Holland, could issue an
order in the morning and the drug
evil would be gone the same evening.
Why don't you do it, instead of max,
ing trouble and then trying to regu-
late the trouble you are making? 1t
would be very easy to stop the trade
in Illicit drugs by limiting their manu-.
facture to legal needs.
1T is more than ten years." he
added, "since Great Britain signed the
Hague convention agreeing to reduce
the consumption of Opium in her colo
MES, yet more than 40 per cent of the
colonial revenues of England come
from opium sales. Why don't you re.
strict the opium which our poor
Chinese are using In your colonies ?"

Especial to Tho Daily wOrksrl


WASHINGTON, June S.-A wild
scene, in which a member of congress
threw an inkstand at distinguished
lawyer, and the lawyer retaliated by
hurting glass of water at the con-
gresham, was enacted today during
the investigation by the house judi
ciary committee into the fitness Of
Frederick E. Fenning to be commits
sioner of the District Of Columbia.
The principals in the melee were
Rep. John e. Rankin, democrat of
Mississippi, and Frank j. Hogan,
prominent capital attorney, who is
representing Fenning.
The aim of both was bad, but Rep
resentative Rankin got in the last lick
by overturning a committee table on
Hogan, and the hearing broke up in
a riot, with women screaming and
everybody yelling.

BEIRUT, Syria (By MaiI. - After
the bloodshed of Damascus and Aelp-

Beirut in which leading members of
all parties, opposing Franch imperi-

The court was composed of French

The Berlin section of the League
Against Cruelties and Oppression in

The Fernch high commissioner

enter Syria.
A group Of French parliament mem.

Jouvenel has the power to refuse a
French solicitor to enter Syria. The

DISAPPOINTMENT
OF WET REPORT
Especial to The Daily worker)

WASHINGTON, June because
of the opposition of Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri, the senate judiciary
committee today postponed for one
week final action on the reprt of the
prohibition" committee rejecting all
wet bills proposing modification of the
Volstead act.
Reed told the committee he intend
ed to file a minority report, recon-
mendinS enactment of several of the
wet measures. He was given the week
to prepare his report.
The committee decided to recon
slider the Edge proposal for a ma
tional referendum on modification of
prohibition. 1t was rejected by the
prohibition" committee on the ground
that congress was without constitu-
tional power to authorize a referen-
dunn. Reed insisted that there was
ample authority for the national vote
and the committee agreed to hear his
views later.

Hosiery workers lead with a S-year
gain of 1917 per cent. Book and job

Al per cent in auto tires and Al per

cost of living has increased per cent

The April report shows that within
the month increases in wage rates
were granted TO 10000 workers in 90
plants. These increases averaged ~
per cent and affected about half the
employees of these plants. The indus

FARM PROSPERITY
TALK is BUNK,
WRITES FARMER
Bankers Squeeze Out
Many Farmers
BY a Farmer Correspondent.

BISMARCK, N. d., June s. - The
capitalist press of the country is still
talking about farm property" Sure!
the other day good rains fell over wide
sections of the middle west states
practically assuring the farmers of a
"fair" return on his labor upon the
land this year. The small papers in
the prairie towns and cities, mouth
pieces OF the big capitalist exploiters
in the industrial centers of the coun-
try, never fail to herald the news
about the million dollars" showers
that come as a blessing" to the
farmer, of course.
Dry Spell Hurts Crops.
Reports coming in here from
various farm communities in the
northwest, however, do not warrant
such optimism. Many farmers say that
they have not had sufficient rain and
that the long dry spell has caused a
rather thin stand of wheat and other
crops, and predictions right now point
to limited yield in many places. The
early sown wheat in particular is not
doing we'll.
Yes, let's all shout for farm
prosperity A farmer from Williams
county, North Dakota, makes the
statement that in his county several
hundred tracts of land and town lots
are to be sold for taxes in June and
that the county pays in aid to the
poor twice as much as during the last
four years.
Loan Sharks and Bankers.
The loan sharks and the bankers al
ways take advantage Of such situa
ton. They buy tax titles cheap anC
then sell the land at big profit tt
farmers coming into the state from
the east. In the county in question
one of these leeches got deed to Z
quarter Of section of land for $500
to $500 and then sold it again FOL
$4,000 to an old farmer from Min
nesota! And there are many sucl
deals.
We have here what is called The
Greater North Dakota Association, al
organization of small town capitalists
whose purpose is to tell the truth
to farmers in other states about tn
great advantages that are open t
industrious" settlers in North Dakota
Tens of thousands of dollars ar
spent in advertising to show tn
riches and possibilities of Mort
Dakota land and how independent
the farmer can become if he make
his home here.
Prosperlty-For Bankers.
Yes, things are coming alon
splendidly in this section-for tn
real estate dealers and bankers. Fo
the farmers it means increased e,
ploitation and poverty.

CHINESE TELL

FIGHTING PLAN
Party Controls Army;
Has 100000 Members
Especial to The Daily worker)


PICKING, China, June S.--Altho Pc
king Is under martial law of the troops

Chang Tso-lin, whose white guard Rus
sian mercenaries shot to death the ed
ttor of Peking's Kuomintang news
paper, three leaders of the Kuomin-
lang, all OF whom are In hiding from
Chang's assassins, have ventured to
give a correspondent an account of the
present situation as regards the Kuo-
mintang and It's strength.
There are three stages in the pro
gram of the Kuomintang or Peoples
Party" said the three party adherents.
1.-THE first is the military stage, the
second is the educational and the
third true democracy. But We have
not yet reached even the second stage.
We are now engaged in military devel-
opment.
Have 100000 Members.
From the district around Canton
the Kuomantang is pushing its part in
the campain against Gen. WI Pei-fu,
the Hankow war lord and most active
figure among the reactionsries. We
are not numerous enough for open
fighting in the north, ,altho we have
5000 Kuomintang members In Picking
and possibly 100000 in the northern
provinces. Altogether In the southern
provinces we have 100000 members.
"The Kuomintang armies On Kwang-
tung and Kwangsi number 100000
men. These are we'll equipped. Their
first corps under Chang Kaishih are
the best of these troops.
Know Why They Fight.
"Dr. Sun Yat-sen's influence and
memory are very strong with the
Kuomintang, which follows HIS teach
ings as nearly as possible. Our sol
diers are we'll instructed dn military
tactics and politics, so they know why
they are fighting. For each 100 sol
diers there is a political adviser who
goes to battle with the rest, and many
are killed. The orders of the army
officers are not to be obeyed unless
approved by the party. Many Of the
Kuomintang are Communists. Only
two or three Communists are among
the thirty.six members of the central
committee Of the Kuomintang."
