the blame upon the mill owners for
the wages they paid.
The delegation said wages amount

CONFERENCE AT
geneva QUITS
In A DEADLOCK
Germany's Admission Is
Postponed to September

GENEVA, March is. - HopeiessIy
deadIoeked after over week Of in
eessant chickering's, with every effort
of all the delegates bent on prevent
ing an exposure of what has been
going on behind the scenes, the eoun-
Gil Of the league of nations decided
this evening to postpone Germany's
admission to the league until the next
regular meeting, scheduled for Sep
TENDER.
For the first time during the pro-
ceedings the hand Of the United
States became evident when rumors
spread about the city that America
was backing Brazil in the latter's de-
termination to veto Germany's entry
unless itself Is assured of a permanent
seat in the council.
Italy 5alks.
Italy was reported to be support
ing Brazil, also. Italy, however, by
the war debt agreement and the Nor
gan financial advances is under the
domination of American Imperialism.
Thus it becomes clear that from the
very beginning the influence of the
United States has been exerted quiet
ly but effectively to block further
consolidation of the power of the
league.
A Spanish Monkey Wrench.
After it became evident that Brazil
would not recede from. her position
Spain threw a second monkey wrench
into the machinery by announcing
that while she would not vote against
Germany's entry she would herself
resign from the league unless given
permanent seat in the council.
Resignation Offer Starts Trouble.
The day had been busy with at
tempts to reconcile the vital interests
of the various national combinations.
1T became soon evident that the offer
of Sweden and Czecho-Slovakia to re-
sign their temporary seats in the
council had merely produced a more
widespread struggle for advantage.
Czecho-Slovakia attached as a con-
uiLAOn u ucl sWlJuOl dl q pIOmlSC ny
Germany that she would support Ru-
mania for membership in the council
at the September session. Rumania,
like Czecho-Sloyakia, is a vassal of
France. Germany refused to make the
promise.
France could, of course, have gone
ahead on the basis of the Swedish re
signation alone. The French, how
ever, feared that the assembly would
re-elect Sweden, in which case they
would have gained nothing while on
the other hand they would have
shown their inability to secure Poland,
the seat BRAND had promised.
South American Nations Meet.
That Brazips demand for perman-
ent place on the council as the re-
preventative of the South American
countries did not meet with their sup

PICKING, March IS = The United
states has Joined with other powers
in delivering an uItimatum to the
Chinese government demanding that
hostIIitics at TIentsin cease before
noon Thursday. The uItimatum insists
that all fighting in the district be-
tween Taku and Tientsin, stretch Of
about thirty-eight miles, be halted at
once. Mines and other distractions
are to be removed.
The powers demand that navigation
signals be restored and that the gov
eminent pledge itself never to inter-
fere with them again. All combatant
vessels are to remain outside the
Taku bar. Searching Of vessels of
foreign registry is to cease. Unless
satisfactory assurances are given on
all these points the naval authorities
of the powers, the ultimatum states,
will take such measures as are neces-
sary to guarantee freedom Of naviga-
tion from Taku to Tientsin.
The ultimatum was delivered be-
cause, 1t is alleged, the Cnlnese gov
eminent ignored the note sent by the
powers last week asking that foreign
shipping be respected and distractions
in the harbor be removed.
VIII Cease, IT,
In reply the official spokesman Of
the peoples army states that his fac
ton will BE only too glad to cease
its activities in the Taku ports, if
the naval forces of the powers will
prevent the entrance of Fengtien
cruisers" The spokesman said the
protest would arouse a new wave Of
agitation against the unequal treat

cHIETI, italy, March 16.-The trial

Workers from many nearby cities
have come to this town in the Apen-
mines to see the type of Justice" that
the fascist controlled court will deal
out to the murderers of those who op-
pose the rule of the black-shirts.
1t is not expected that the murder
ers of Matteotti will be given death
sentence. The opinion prevails that
the five will be set free as the muir
der was directed and ordered by the
higher circles of the fascist party and
that in the carrying out Of the act
their tools had imbibed too much wine
and bungled the job.
Trial Is Huge Farce.
The workers in the courtroom point
out that the judge and the prosecutor
are close to the fascist and that as
far as Justice" is concerned, the trial
is a mere formality of blaming some

this way whitewashing Farinacci, Mus

RECOMMEND THAT
BROOKHART LOSE

WASHINGTON March 16 The
subcommittee Of the committee on
privileges and elections has reported
to the full committee that Capt
Daniel F. Steck, 1democratic candidate
for senator from. Iowa in last falls
elections, was ebected over Smith w.
Brookhart, who has been serving I'M
der certificate of election given by
the Iowa authorities. The report Of
he subcommittee, composed of two
epublicans and two democrats, was
unanimous.
The recommendation was based on
the conclusion that by canvass Of all
votes cast Steck had an actual major
ity of 76 ballots. If the obvious inten-
ton of the voters was taken into con-
sideration this would be increased to
plurality of 1920.
Resignation Urged.
The report is certain to be sustain
ed by the senate, tho Brookhart has
announced his intention of fighting to
the bitter end. Whether he will carry
out his threat is doubtful. Friends are
urging him to resign before the ques-
ton comes up in the senate.
Brookhart will contest the repub-
lican nomination this year with Sen.
Albert Cumminsg who has been in the
senate since 1908 and who holds the
important post of chairman of the

The acceptance Of the report will

Growth Begins.

Immediately after the clearing up
of the various battle fronts and the
introduction of the new economic
policy, cooperation began to grow
rapidly, as an organization based on
the activity and initiative OF the
workers and peasants.
"The extent of it's growth may be
gagged from the fact that in 1914 the
Russian consumers .co-operatives had
a membership of 1.65O,OOO, their cap
ital was $16,0S7 500, and annual turn
over $145,OOO,OOO; in 1922 their mem

capital to $156,O $1,000, and turnover
