The Paris police today had in their possession a stone plaque taken from the foot of the eques- trian statue of George Washington in the Place D'Iena. and on which was inscribed:
 "Over the head of diplomacy and far from political and financial combines the war reterans of France appeal straight to the peo- pie of the United States, After the deceptions of peace the proposed debt settlement would consecrate the ruin of France and the loss of it's independence.
 America will understand that the war veterans of France, who are honest. sincere and loyal. are asking in a friendly manner that the study of the question should be taken up once more"

VISITORS COMING
 ID SUMMER CAMP
Coolidge Expects to Entertain
 Several NOtableS

Paul Smiths, N. Y, July 1 , P,- With the first week of President Coolidge's absence from Washing ton drawing to a close, members Of his party are anticipating the ar- rival Of the first visitors at White Pine camp.
 In addition to Governor Alfred E. Smith, who has signifed his in- tention of calling. Mr. Coolidge may be visited by Arthur Meighen, premier of Canada. It is custom ary for the Canadian prime min ister 10 be entertained each sum- mer at the camp of Wilfred Me Dougald, of Montreal. which ad- joins the summer White House property. Mir. McDougald is expect ed soon and MT. Meighen's visit, 1t is believed, may follow shortly after.
 Another possible caller at White Pine camp is Mayor James J. Walker of New York city, who is planning @ vacation outing at Sara nae inn. not far from Paul smiths, and it is anticipated that he may wish to pay his respects to Mir | Coolidge.
 So far President Coolidge has 1 left the camp property only three 1 times. Last Friday he drove to the executive offices for the first vaca- ton conference. Yesterday he and Mrs. Coolidge motored to Saranac | lake, where they attended morning 1 service at the First Presbyterian church Hundreds of residents of | the famous mountain health resort turned out to greet them, and al- 1 though only 25O could gain admit tanco to the church a large crowd gathered outside to applaud. Although cold and stormy weather has caused some members of the presidents party to grumble, MT. Coolidge apparently has not been disturbed by the rain and low temperatures.
 Rising at o'clock, as is his cus- tom in Washington, Mir. Coolidge strolls among the pines before breakfast. After his meal he enjoys another walk and then takes up his fishing tackle. When sport and ex- ercise are over, he goes to his quiet study where, undisturbed except by the birds and the breeze, he goes over the morning mail and attends to the business of his office. The afternoons are occupied with walks, motorboat rides and occa- sionally another fishing expedition. Usually he spends an hour or two with his confidential stenographer who comes out from the executive offices 10 handle correspondence and official business.
 As evening draws near MT. Cool fdce has found it very comfortable to draw up to roaring log fire in an easy chair with a book from the study library. After dinner the radio offers entertainment. al' though on several nights static has been troublesome.

HAMMOND COOKS,
WATERS FOR M
STRONG union
Greeks ] Join Yanks in
Struggle

HAMMOND, Ind, Oct. 1S.-Organ-
ization of cooks and walters, Greeks
as we'll as Americans, started here
two weeks ago. The restaurants in
this town are almost all operated by
Greeks.
A week ago group Of men were
seen in front of restaurant with
signs in the front, This restaurant is
unfair to organized labor" asked
to know what it was all about, and
was informed that some of the Greek
owners would not recognize the union
so the picket line was put in front Of
their restaurants.
The bosses saw the effectiveness of
the picket line, called a meeting and
collected a lot of money to fight the
unionists.
In this union Joined quite few
Greek workers and especially one,
Christos Anlios, who is always to the
forefront of a fight. I asked him many
questions and explained to him my
views, that if they stick together the
bosses manipulations would not harm
them bit.
His answer was that they would
rather starve than go back to work
without a union. He said he, prefer.
red jail rather than the bosses terms.
And indeed, the strikers stood 50
firm in this struggle that the bosses
had to give in, except the owners of
the Indiana restaurant, who tried to
get an injunction against the union.
But he did not succeed and the picket
ing is still going on, and he will be
forced to give in, as did the rest.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1S.-(FP)-
A contract for three years with an in
crease of % cents a day each year
with back pay from June 1 has been
secured by the local stereotypers' un.
ion from the four nonunion news
papers of this city, making the daily
rate for this year $6.75 for s hours,
with price and a half for overtime.
The composing rooms of the four
newspapers are still nonunion with a
nonunion pressroom in the Times
Picayune, one of the largest papers in
the south.
Despite the fact that an organizer
from the International Typographical
union has been on the ground for the
past six months no progress has been
made enrolling the various employees
Of the newspapers, owing mainly to
the anti-secrecy law which compels
each labor organization to report
names of members to the secretary Of
state, which is open to the inspection
of the public.
Henry Fuqua, elected to the govern
orship on this platform by the manu-
facturers association, was in the
main responsible for the placing Of
this law on the statute books, under
pretense of killing the khan.

WINS FIGHT ON
WAUKEGAN FIRM
Walkout Brings Bowling
to Demands

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, Oct. IS. - The
strike against the runaway Granert &
Rothschild Co. clothing firm in ,Wau-
kegan ended with a victory for the
workers.
Just three weeks after the walkout
in protest against the discharge of
eight workers for union activity, the
firm capitulated and signed an agree
ment for a preferential union shop
with the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America.
No Prejudice.
The agreement calls for the return
to work without prejudice of all the
strikers, recognition of the union in
the shop, collective bargaining and
arbitration of grievances for the union
members and the 44-hour week.
The victory of the strikers, in win
ming every demand made on the en-
ployers during the strike, in hear.
ing two weeks ago. before Secretary
Frank Fowler of the chamber of com
merce and local labor leaders, is of
great significance to Waukegan work
ers in other trades.

RED CRY CAUSES
ARIzONALABOR TO
DESERT WORKERS
Council Leaders Shake
Porto Ricans
BY a Worker Correspondent.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 1S.-The
Phoenex Central Labor Council voted
to cease feeding the Porto Ricans at
Fair Grounds.
Secretary Flynn of the council and
also chairman of the relief commit
tee, reported that a radical Of some
kind made a speech to them in their
own language and that they gathered
around him and cheered him. Flynn
said he warned the Porto Ricans not.
to listen to those kind of agitators and
if they continued the council wouldn't
have anything to do with them.
He didn't say whether they compiled
with his request or not, but recon-
mended to the Central Trades Council
that they let them look out for them
selves.
Mr.. Carpenter, editor OF the state
labor Journal (whose report at last
A. F. Of L. convention showed the
paper receiving about $3.50 for subs
and about 1900 for advertising),
said he knew positively the radical
was an I. w. W. as Mr.. Jones of the
U. s. Dept. of Labor had informed
him so, therefore he was also In favor
of quitting.
Flynn had taken an active part IN
the Porto Ricans' trouble and fought
the old heads pretty well till they won
him over. He ia also part Of the Hunt
political machine which guides the
destinies Of the Central Trades Coun-
Gil.
The papers printed articles show
ing how radicals in the council were
preventing the farmers from market
ing their cotton and 1.-THE Republican"
blames 1t on the Hunt administration
evidently knowing that about so per
cent of the delegates are employed in
different state works.
The fact was, the Hunt machine
started the play at feeding the Porto
Ricans thinking that public sentiment
would come this way, but they didn't
know the power of the press. Now that
no one pays any attention except
those interested IN seeing the Porto
Ricans eat (Which ars very few they
want 70 slip out as easy 90 possible.
This bad "wobbly" who got the
blame for the Porto Ricans going
without breakfast in the morning was
reported driven from Fair Grounds by
U. s. Dept. of Labor agent.
The Porto Ricans said that as soon
as they get to work they were all 60
ling to Join the federation. Practically
all the delegates who spoke were
afraid to do anything which might
hinder the cotton growers from pick
ing their cotton, fearing they may be
holding back the wheels of industry.
The result is: One Of the finest
stands ever taken by a group Of work
ers in this state to better their condi-
tons, broken by the leadership Of the
Arizona labor body, to whom the
workers looked to for help.
There are or reds among the
strikers at the Fair Grounds today.
there will probably be 20 tomorrow.
