by birth from the capital of the
Hoosier State. He was born at a time
when the government was about to
begin civil strife within its own border.

the year 1858 it was natures guiding

adoption in the battles Of life the work

highest thought to the readers of his

to 1908 he was the editor of the In

Lieut.. Connell. commander of the

carry out the flight direct from Nor
folk to Colon was due only to the ac-
cidental breaking of connecting rod,
as the craft had sufficient fuel to
reach the Canal Zone. The PN-1O,
No. 2, ran out of fuel off the Isle of

U.S.AWA|TSAGEND
OF LEAGUE PARLEY
Acceptance of Invitation to
Economic Conference to
I Be Decided Then.
By the Aesociafed Press


The intention of the League of Ma
tions to seek American collaboration
In two international conferences next
year has aroused interest but no COM
lnent in Washington. Until the invi-
tations are received and details of the
conference plans are known, no at.
tempt will be made to formulate
American policy with respect to them.
One Of the conferences, to consider
world economic problems, is to be
convoked at Geneva May 4, and the
other, to consider supervision of the
private manufacture of arms, is to
be called next Fall if the general dis.
armament conference already au-
thOrized, goes over until 1928. The
United States also will be asked to
send representatives to sit on the
commission which will draft a con-
vention for consideration at the arms
manufacture conference.
Russia Will BE Invited.
Invitations to take part in these
meetings also will be sent to Russia,
among other non-members of the
Lea gue, but it is Doubtful that the
Soviet government will agree to send
representatives to any conference at
Geneva. in view of the incident with
the Swiss government growing out of
the assassination of it's envoy, Vorov-
sky, at Lausanne in 1923.
Apparently the main point for the
American Government to consider in
connection with the economic confer
ence is the question of war debts. If
war debts figure in the agenda, the
changed status of foreign obligations
to the United States will have to be
examined. Heretofore, the admins
tration has rejected suggestions for
participation in European economic
discussions which touched in any way
on the debts, taking the position that
the American policy in that respect
had been determined by Congress and
that the function of the executive
branch had been limited to negotiation
of terms of payment.
Decision to Ask United States.
Decision Of the League officials to
Invite the United States to participate
in the arms manufacture conference
was explained at Geneva as having
been based on "a remark by Repre-
sentative Theodore N. Burton of Ohio,
as an American delegate at the con-
ference on traffic in arms, that his
Government would join in a conven-
tion to compel publication of statistics
Of manufacturers of implements of
war by arms-producing States.
AS to eXerciZing direct control over
arms manufacture, the Government
has held that It is without authority
to intervene with their production and
transportation within the United
States and is able only to prevent ex-
portation through embargoes, such
as now apply to MEXICO and Central
America.

Try White Guards for
Attempted Assassination
Especial to The Daily Worker

VIENNA-(By MaiD-Two white
Guard" Russians, arrested last Sept.
for conspiring to secure the muir
der of Jean Berlin, Soviet minister to
Austria, were found guilty at their
trial the end of last month. One Of
them, however, is to be deported and
the other placed under police surveil-
lance.
The trial brot out the fact that the
Russian emigres had a murder organ
ization" in Bulgaria, for the purpose
of assassinating Communists and So
Wet representatives. The chief wit
ness was one Shetshenko, who turned
states evidence. He had quarreled
with his accomplices and in conse-
quence informed Berlin of the plot.
The conspirators were to get the cash
for the arms from other agents in
Bulgaria.

The Background Of the zeigIer FramG-up

against the progressive rank and file
movement. Henry Corbishley is look
ed upon as the leading figure in the
progressive movement thruout the
sub-district. The others associated
with him in the trial were identified
with this movement. Railroading these
miners to the penitentiary was to be
a warning to all miners not to dare to
fight the administration machine.
The fight against the cooperation of
the union officials with the operators
is fight to protect the primary in
terests of the miners wages, safety
and other working conditions. The
operators want usuable officials be-
cause it means more profits for them.
This is the essense of the ZeigTer case.
The Fox-Cobb machine fought for
the operators. The progressives fought
for the interests of the miners. The
frame-up was used to get rid of them.
To wage the struggle against the la
Dor officialdom cooperation with the
bosses against the workers, it is neces-
sary to defend the Zeigler miners.
