FLAPPER IS GIVEN
 GENUINE SUPPORT
Edison and Bradley Martin
 Uphold Youth Of Today

New York. Dec. IT P-The younger generation was championed for its morals, intelligence and health yesterday by Thomas A. Edi- son. inventor, in an interview on The Youth of Today and Tomor- row" in the current issue of the Forum"
 Not only are young people not going to the dogs. the inventor told his interviewer, but in the main their morals are better than those of their fathers and grandfathers and much better than those of their remote ancestors.
 They are generally healthier, too, he said, beause they turn to sport instead of dissipation, and they have better intelligences than persons of similar ages in the 90's. He was, he said, very hopeful of the next gen. eration in America and of the gen. erations to follow.
 He urged that reformers leave the "flappers" alone. They are all right, he said. The dress of girls and women is becoming simpler and more beautiful. he observed, and simplicity and beauty of dress he characterized as probably signs of advancing civilization.
 Mir Edison criticized as nonsense the remarks of ''an aging English author" that men over 30 should step aside and make room for the younger men. Maturity, he said, did not begin until past thirty.
 Bradley Martins Views.
 Society is not so aristocratic as 1t once was but it's lots more fun. he said and the flapper Is the one to thank for that, in the opinion of Bradley Martin. member of the New York's older aristocracy.
 That gay, life-loving. fortnight creature whom we call the flapper," he is quoted in an interview in the January issue of McClure's Maga- zine, "is more honest in her attitude than her mother was and much more honest than her grandmother dared to be. For that reason. par ticularly, I approve of her."
 The name of Bradley Martin has long been socalliy prominent both in this country and in England. The parents ofthe present Bradley Mar tin were outstanding social leaders in the last half of the century. In 1897 they hired the entire Waldorf Astoria, then new hotel, for a ball which was the sensation of the season. The newspapers both here and abroad printed pages about 1t and ministers made it the subjects of their sermons.
 The present Bradley Martin Is uncle of the Earl of Craven who figured in divorce cases with the Countess Cathcart.
 Disclaiming any intention of pie turing flappers as not doing any, thing to merit censure, ('she has undubitably exaggerated sex to some extent hesays,) Mir. Martin classes them as pioneers of social honesty.

POWER TRUST
FOR EUROPE
NOW FORMING
Huge Mergers Built up
In All Industries

PARIS, Oct. 21-Business circles
here are interesting themselves in
what they believe to be American
preparations for an international trust
of the electrical industries, beginning
with those in the United States and
Canada. rVts
The prime movers are understood to
be Dunn & Loewenstin. The latter
is connected with a number of Cana
dian and South American electrical
businesses and is now preparing, it is
asserted, an organization to be known
as the Hydro-electric Securities Cor
poration.
A loan Of $24,OO0,OOO to the Siemens-
Schuckert group in Germany is under
stood to be the preface to the pro
posed movement which eventually
will include the whole of Europe.
Aluminium Trust.
The German Viag concern, which
includes the chief aluminium produc-
ers Of Germany, denies that negotia-
lions are being held for the formation
of trust, but It is believed here that
it will be formed eventually.
Trade magazines in France point
out the growing Importance of the
trust movement and expect that it
will be continued until it includes all
the important industries of Europe.
It had a beginning with the steel
trust and the temporary pig iron
agreement in France, Germany and
other countries.
The forecast is now made that the
! coal industry will probably be organ.
lied internationally, but probably not
until the British coal strike is settled
More Mergers Coming.
Next in line come the tube and rail
trusts, and negotiations have been
started for wire and cast iron cartels
The wire trust is expected to include
the manufacturers of rods, nails
fences and other finished goods made
of wire. The makers Of plates, shapes
and bars are now negotiating.
A further development announced al
certain here will organize the builders
of locomotives, freight cars, machin
cry and machine tools along interna
tional lines.
Until now the British were repre-
scented only in the railmakers trust
but Continental industrialists expect
them to join the other organizations
later, because Of the difficulty of com
peting with the combined industrie;

navians are likely to draw closer tc

find it necessary to defend their in

U. S. Planned Attack on Mexico.
Because of this attitude, it is seen
that the desire, of the United States
in calling the conference was not to
arrive at an amicable understanding,
but to attack Mexico and cripple the
revolution against Chamorro. So the
conference is liable to break up, as
the United States expected it to do.
The liberals want their leader Sa-

party, wants one of Chamorro's chief
lieutenants. Adolfo Diaz. This reac-
tionary Diaz is also the choice of the

1919 219 strikes were declared and
only IL in 1926.
The working conditions are at pres
ent really very bad, owing partly to
Primo's prosecutions and mostly to
the treachery of the socialists.
The number of unemployed all
thru Spain is enormous and as this
working army's reserve does not re-
ceive any help from the state, the
capitalists can, in cases of competi-
ton, very easily reduce wages.
No Elght-Hour Day.
AS the eight-hour working day
hardly exists in Spain, the govern
ment has not given any decree to abol-
ish it. Notwithstanding, Primo de
Rivera has declared on various occa-
sions that the eight-hour work day
must cease. And since, some months
ago, the financial press is carrying out
this campaign. The weekly Espana
Economical and Financiera Economic
and Financial SPAIN was diligently
defending the increasing of the daily
working hours.

Second Communist in
Chilean Senate; Wins
by Recount of Votes

NEW YORK, Oct. 81. - The final
count Of the senatorial elections in
the Chilean nitrate districts of Tara
paca (former Peruvian territory and
Antofagasta former Bolivian terrific
ry) gave the legal majority to the Com
munist, Juan Luis Carmona, who con-
sequently takes the seat in the SEN
ate with Manuel Hidalgo as the sec
ond Communist senator of Chile.
Even the bourgeois majority OF the
parliamentary commission had to ad-
NIT the extraordinary practices OF
fraud used TO prevent the election Of
Carmona. More votes were counted
in the first scrutiny than there are
electors in the whole district. A re-
count established the claim OF Car.
mona to the seat in the senate.
Carmona has been active for many
years in the nitrate district as active
inion organizer and agitator. There
are six Communist deputies in the
over house.

they are headed by socialists, they
have followed a neutral attitude to.
ward the directory. The Sindicatos
Libres is more noticed on those occa-
sions where Communist influence is
strongest.
U. G. r. Rrlbed,
To face this penury condition of the
Spanish working class the reformist
central organization, General Union of
Workers, is not adopting any policy
Of militancy. The leaders in connec-
ton with the government are enjoying
good Office position. In the mean
while the working class is starving
from hunger. Largo Caballero, the
secretary of the General Union of
Workers is state counsellor.
To end this serious working crisis
the Communist Party and the minority
movement have on various occasions
proposed to workers organizations
and parties to form a united front in
order to defend the rights of the un-
employed. These appeals have never
been listened to. Neither socialists
nor anarchists have ever manifested
any desire to really work for the
working class.
Rivera Has Easy Time.
And this is exactly why the govern
ment can practically push thru all
workers aims. No opposition will be
awakened by the leading elements of
the workers organizations. The only
ones who opposed a serious resistance
to Primo de Rivera's government have
been the Communists, who have been
ordered dissolved and their leaders
imprisoned.
Communists Working.
In spite OF the governments perse-
cutions, the campaign for trade union
movements unity, undertaken by the
Communist Party, tho very slowly, is
gaining the workers favor.
Da Antorcha, the Communist or
gan, is weekly publishing a new list
Of adhesions to trade union unity.
II this campaign does not have an
open success it is because of the i'm
possibility OF public propaganda, but
in working sections it has gained num-
erous partisans.
