COOLIDGE FARM
PLAN is SOP TO
Killed FARMERS
Talks of $1OO,OOO,OO
Loan rom Banks


WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-What has
been expected here since the adjourn
ment of congress has happened: Pres
ident Coolidge has announced a plan
for farm relief. 1t has been expected
because politicians know that Coolidge
and the administration gang have to
do something about the middle west.
Coolidge Worried.
Since the defeat of the McNary-
Haugen bill, sponsored by the farm
bloc, and the subsequent defeat Of the
administrators Fess bill by the farm
bloc as a sort of vengeance, the adj
ministration has not stood very well
in the corn belt.
Vice-President Dawes and ex-Gov-
ernor Lowden of Illinois are causing
Coolidge much perturbation by boom
ing themselves for the republican pres
idential nomination for 1928 on the
basis, more or less, of farm relief.
Stoo,ooo,ooo Fund.
The announcement from Paul
Smiths, the summer white house, that
the administration, inspired, it is said,
by the secretary of commerce, Hoover,
has put forward a plan to bring relief
to the farmers without legislation.
Coolidge says he is looking into the
possibility of raising 100000, 900 pri.
vate loan for the farmers to take the
place Of the appropriation, a similar
amount, provided for in the defeated
Fess bill to constitute a fund to be
used by farmers co-operatives to take
up SURPRISES and regulate prices of
farm products.
Depends on Interest.
The administration hopes to con-
vince banks, insurance companies and
mortgage institutions of the economic
necessity Of such a loan to help the
farmers. There is no doubt that if
these institutions, none Of which SO
far have been suspected of philan-
thropy, can be guaranteed a high
enough interest on the loan that rails
ing S100,O00,O00 fund for the farmers
would be easy.
In any case the presidential plan is
still in its infancy. 1t was necessary
to announce it quickly to act as a
sort of temporary sop for the discon.
| tented corn belt.

KNIGHTS or COLUMBUS
HEAD MADE DEMAND FOR
INTERVENTION IN MEXICO

James A. FIaherty, supreme
knight of the Knights Of Columbus,
is directing a campaign, inspired by
the church, for the breaking off Of
relations with Mexico on the very
flImsy excuse that the Mexican gov
eminent is not observing rights Of
freedom Of conscience. The Knights
of Columbus, like all church institu-
tions, has always championed the
most reactlonary Of causes and the
fact Is that the demand of the cath
Ollie order for Intervention is simply
the echo Of the desire of U. S. oil
and financial interests to force In
PREVENTION to protect their own III
gotten property from the possible
use Of that property by the people
of Mexico who rightfuIly own II.

Chicago Companies
Use Injunction on
Secretary of State

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. Item
porary restraining orders were grant
ed in federal court here by Judge
George T. Page of Chicago against
Secretary Of State Emmerson to pre-
vent him from turning over to the
state treasurer certain taxes paid un-
der protest by the S. S. Kresge Com
pany, the Wolf Manufacturing Com
pany and the Victor Chemical Com
pany, all of Chicago.
The action is part of the companies
fight against the franchise tax, which
they allege is unconstitutional.
The Kesge Company has paid in
$9,17656, claiming to owe only
$2,799.1S; the Wolf Manufacturing
Company paid $6,9464S, claiming to
owe $654.57, and the Victor Chemical
Company paid in $3,3s4.7O, claiming
only S225.S2 was due.
The companies claim that the sec
rotary computed the tax on the ficti-
tious authorized capital stock and that
it should have been based on the
paid-in capital stock.

PLEDGED TO AID
MEXICAN LABOR
Hearty Accord Is Shown
in Convention Record

icy Federated Press staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Running
thru the printed record Of the conven-
tions Of the American Federation of
Labor for the past decade or more is
the consistent theme of sympathy for
the revolutionary struggles and tri-
umphs of the Mexican workers.
At almost every convention some
fraternal delegate was warmly re-
ceived, some speech by Samuel Com
pers expressed the support Of labor
in the United States for the Mexican
Regional Federation of Labor, or some
formal resolution declared the appre-
citation Of the northern movement for
what its southern neighbor was seek
ing to do in order to make Mexico a
country fit for workingmen to live in.
1925 Resolution.
At the 1925 convention, held in At
lantic City, the committee on interna-
tional labor relations favorably re-
ported resolution 70, which was unan-
imously adopted. This resolution was
offered by Matthew Vol, member of
the executive council. 1t read:
Whereas, the Inauguration of Plu-
tarcho Elias Gales as president of
Mexico brought fruition to the hopes
Of the workers Of that country and
satisfaction and qualification to the
workers Of the United States; and
Whereas, the service which our
fellow trades unionist has so tar rem
dered as president since his Inaugural

dence and hopes reposed in him by
labor everywhere and by the great
masses Of the people; and
Called In Labor Men.

into the service of his government in
the most important capacities, as in
the case Of the appointment of Louis
N. Morones, leader Of the Mexican
labor movement, to be minister Of in
dustry, commerce and labor; and
Whereas, he has further shown his
foresight and courage by appointing
labor attaches to the leading Mexican
embassies in foreign nations, giving
the honor Of the first appointment to
the Mexican embassy at Washington,
where Canuto A. Vargas, a trade
unionist, now serves in that impor-
tant capacity; and
Whereas, in every possible manner
General Gales and his associates have
striven to improve the condition of
the workers and the masses of the
people with fine zeal, a noble cour-
age and an inspiring fidelity; there
fore be 1t
Resolved, that we adopt these res
olutions as an expression of our con-
