New York, April 30 R-May day, the occasion of many fatal European labor riots in recent years, Is eX- pected to pass quietly tomorrow in the United States, where 1t is ob- served only by q comparatively small radical group, The day is not sanctioned as holiday by the American Federation of Labor.
 Communists Appeal
 The central executive committee of the workers (communisD party today circulated a resolution urging eommunists all over the country 10 observe tomorrow as "a day of dem- onstration against international i'm perialism," on the ground that the last year has seen the tightening bf the grip of naked imperialism up- bn the toiling masses throughout the world"
 The communist ukase scored the American Federation of Labor for having nothing to do with the May day celebrations and called 1t "the ariStOCracy or laDor. May udy tnln year takes place when the capital ist class conducts vicious attacks on the workers" the communist an nouncement said.
 Demonstrations Scheduled
 Although communist mass denl- onstrations are scheduled for num- Der of large cities, the United States department of justice announced at Washington that it had taken nc precautionary measures on the the ory that none are necessary and on the ground that the individual states are expected to preserve order as part of their exercise Of police power.
 Sixteen Meetings in New York
 The greatest radical activity of the day, perhaps will occur in New York city, where 16 communis' mass demonstrations are scheduled and in New Jersey, where the Pas saic textile strike is ending its 1itt week.

 Before Whittemore was returned to this city after jury in Buffalo, N. Y, had failed to reach yer dict in his trial for the killing oi | two bank messengers in that city, Banton had made it known that the ! New York City authorities would not consent to Whittemore's removal to Baltimore unless it appeared certain that he could be convicted for the prison guards murder.
 Whittemore talked of the prison l guard killing when he gave an h. terview to newspaper men today. He said that while he was in the prison hospital In Baltimore, being treated for burns on his arm, he had q quarrel with the guard, John Hol- ton. He refused to give the cause of the quarrel.
 We had q scuffle," Whittemorc said, "and that guy pulled a gat or me. He hit me and knocked me fiat knew he would shoot as soon as got up and l grabbed hold of a piece of lead pipe and cracked him Up to that time I had no idea of escaping and l decided then that l would beat it."
 Holton died some time after Whit. temore had made his escape. Whit 1 temore said there were several wit. nesses of the fight between him anC the prison guard.

Boston police were prepared for any eventuality but anticipated no disturbance. May Day has passed quietly in Boston in recent years and no demonstration plans were an- nounced there by labor bodies,
 Maryland and Delaware police au- thorities expected no unusual acti- vity and there were no prospects of any May Day demonstrations in those states.
 Colorado labor union officials said they did not recgnize May Day as a day for labor observance and that 1t would simply be "pay day" to them Frank l.. Palmer, editor of the Colo rado Labor Advocate and spokesman for organized labor in that state said, "Colorado labor is satisfied with the government and conditions. and does not believe in communism" William Dietrich, head of the Colo rado branch of the workers party, said he had no plans for any public demonstration tomorrow. Denver police planned to ignore the days significance.
 May Day is the day upon which the workers of the entire world, more than ever come to feel the ties that bind the toilers of all lands to- gether in their common struggle against those who rob and oppress them," said the communist an nouncement in New York.
 This year, more than ever, the unity of the working class Is need ed. In Passaic where thousands of workers are trying to resist wage cuts and 10 fight for a decent stan dard of living, they are met with police clubbing and arrests. Work CTS throughout the United States meet with injunctions on all sides whenever they step forward In de- fense of their interests"
 Rumors of a possible May Day strike of the building trades in Port. land, Oregon, for dollar a day wage increase and a flve-day week have not been confirmed by the la bor council.

Long Obscured Question Is
Settled; Roosevelt + Foraker
Did Compose Their Quarrel

WASHINGTON, Feb. u. The
long obscured question of whether
the late President Roosevelt and the
late Senator Foraker of Ohio ever
composed their celebrated quarrel
seems to be definitely settled in the
ton of a print of correspondence be
tween them.
The quarrel, wnlcn was sensa-
tionai one. broke in 1909 as a direct
outcome of Senator Forakers cham
pionship of the cause of some Of the
negro regular troops who were sum
marty dismissed from the army by
President Roosevelt after the affair
at Brownsville, Texas.
The Brownsville riot, as it was
then called, involved negro troops
of the regular army. 1t assumed the
proportions of nationwide contro-
versy when President Roosevelt dis
missed a whole battalion. Senator
Foraker, one of the stalwart Re
publican leaders of his day, and
one of the circle of confidants which
surrounded President Mckinley, oc-
cupied a position apparently equally
intimate with President Roosevelt
until the two men differed over the
merits of the Presidents wholesale
dismissal of at least some of the
negro troops.
Course Openly Assaled
Senator Foraker assailed President
Roosevelts course openly in the Sen
ate and the President had struck
back in characteristic fashion. The
smouldering volcano did not come
into full eruption, however. until an
occasion in January, 1909, when both
men were guests at Gridiron Club
dinner in Washington.
