Last Audience Solid for
independence

MANILA, P. l., Sept. 12.-Colonel
Carmi Thompson, President Coolidges
personal investigator in the Philip
pines, made his last speech to a meet
ing Of Filipinos at Pasacao, southern
Luzon. The Filipinos were unani-
mously in favor Of independence, and
not single speaker among them ia
vored the Bacon bill, which would di-
vide the islands into two parts in or
der to cripple the independence move.
Thompson is having trouble in get

which he was to take passage, out to
sea. He intends to rest for some time
at mountain resort near Manila, and
then to go to China to study. rela-

islands.

Henry L. Stimson, former secretary
Of war, issued signed statement to
the press on the eve of Col. Carmi
Thompson's arrival in Manila. He
lauded Governor General Wood for his
undoing of the liberal measures of the
preceding Harrison regime, and threat

New Angle In Rubber.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12.-Capital-
lists and politicians are bending an at
tentive ear to the reports of the Amer
lean Chemical Society congress here.
The congress has been told and is in
vestigating the theory that sufficient
rubber to provide for the present con-
sumption of the United States (about
one billion pounds) can be grown thru
the efforts of 10000 men farming the
guayule shrub in the desert regions of
the southwestern states. At present
over 100000 men are employed in the
tropics to produce from rubber trees
this much crude rubber.
It May Work.
The shrub is said to be under cult
walton on small farms in California
and the technical difficulties of MAX
ing rubber from its sap are in the way
to being overcome. Since American
policy in the Philippines has been
largely influenced by the fact that the
islands may be the United States
chief source of rubber. observers think
the guayule may aid the independence
movement there.

Slovak, Czech Workers
Celebrate 10th Year of
Rovnost Ludu, Now Daily
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

OLOVAK and Czech workers in the
~ Chicago district, in common
with those turnout the country, will
join on Sunday, Oct. 10th, to cele-
brate the goth anniversary of their
daily paper, "Rovnost Ludu."
G. e. Ruthenberg, general secre-
tary of the Workers (Communist)
Party, will speak at the Chicago
celebration, to be held on that day
at the Czecho-Slovak American Hall,
1438 w. 18th ST., bringing the greet
ings of other native and foreign-born
workers in the United States allied
under Communist standards or SYM
pathetic to the revolutionary cause.
Oct. 10th is nearly a month away.
But the preparations for the ami
versary are already going ahead full
speed 1t is not only going to be
day Of rejoicing, over 20 years of
progress achieved against great OBJ
stacles, but it is also going to mark
another milestone recording new ef-
forts.
Already claiming a total Of 10000
readers, the campaign is being
launched for winning 5000 addition
al subscribers for the "Rovnost
Ludu," to commemorate satisfactor-
lily its goth year.
''Rovnost Ludu" was launched as
a revolutionary monthly in October,
1906. This was the month in which
the socialist party launched its first
English-language daily in this coun-
try, the Chicago Daily Socialist,
with Joseph Medill Patterson, one
Of the owners and later one of the
editors Of the Chicago Tribune, as
co-editor with Algernon M. Simons,
author of Social Forces in Amer
lean History"
The incident Of the Chicago Daily
Socialist is merely mentioned by
way of contrast. "Rovnost Ludu"
had only the will of the Slovak
workers in the great basic indus
tries to keep it alive. The Chicago
8 Daily Socialist had it's many con-
nections with liberals, who contrib
uted literally in money and with
such intellectual guidance as they
had to offer.
After six years the Chicago Daily
Socialist passed out of existence in
1912, discredited, while the "Rovnost
Ludu" continues to grow.
"Rovnost Ludu," soon after it was
established became semi-monthly
and then it became weekly in 1908
1t had the same difficulties that be-
set all revolutionary working class
dailies during the war. 1t was in
June, 1917, the month that the
espionage act went into force that
the "Rovnost Ludu" ceased to be
printed in the Spravedlnost plant.
