600 tractors on farms and today
there are probably 100000.

the farmers are facing much the
same problem as the industrial work.

worker is not himself buying the
machinery that puts him out of work.

This year secs a great decline in

blood-thirsty outfit which has been
deporting Communists to lonely

trouble themselves about investing
in this sort of thing.
On the other hand, you'll have to
buy your Bolivian gold bonds on
faith, hope and credit. They are go

suitable for an investor who has

Comrades and
Fellow Workers:

After a years heroic struggle Of
the Passaic textile workers, the mill
barons were forced to submit to a
union in the textile industry Of Pas
sale. They are however putting OBJ
stacles in the way of maintaining
such an organization. Although the
strike is almost over, they are taking
the workers back very slowly, with
the result that thousands of families
are without means of existence. Their
children are hungry.
There are many families whose sole
supporters were sent to Jail for long
periods because of their activities in
the strike. You must come to their
rescue. Relief must 90 on with full
speed!
The General Relief Committee, who
is maintaining few food stores in
Passaic, appeals to all those who have
taken milk coupons to send in their
money as soon as possible, no matter
how much you have collected. Send
the money Immediately to the Cen
eral Relief Committee, 100 Broadway,
Room 225, also ask for more coupons
to sell.

CALHOUN SEWERS
CONNECTION WITH
PIONEER YOUTH
Refuses to Support the
Red Batting Campaign

Arthur w. Calhoun, Instructor al
the Brookwood Labor College and
well known lecturer and author, has
severed his connection with the Pho
neer Youth, semi-socialist organi-
cation.
With red batting becoming regu-
lar part Of the procedure of the So
cialists and their allies in the trade
unions, they have now carried it over
into other organizations, the Pioneer
Youth being one of them.
Calhoun not being DESTROYS of hav-
ing any connection with those who
are carrying on that campaign, sent
the following letter to Joshua Lieb-
erman, secretary of the Pioneer
Youth, 3 West 10th St, New York:
Katonah, N. Y,
March 8, 1927
My dear Josh:
I'll have to ask you to drop me
from the list of supporters Of Pho
neer Youth. Last nights perform
ance was too much. You tell us that
the object is to save the youth from
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Communists.
To Fight VOlstead Act.
Curtis implies that in addition to
teaching 1000 Americanism, it is
necessary to fight the Volstead Act
and preserve our liberty to come

the sacred memory of the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy
(gloating thus in being an infatu-
ated tool of predatory capitalism

neer Youth is 80 44-1O09o pure.
Refers to Class Collaboration.

brotherhoods as no better than COM

expresses the hope that in the labor
negotiations Of the future the boss
and the business agent may embrace
over memories Of the time when
they were boys in the Pioneer Youth
camp. Then you get off some AFRO

1000 Profits Quick il
You Know How

Poor dumb workers. If only they'd
quit their badly paid, despised labor
in shop, mill and factory and listen
20 the advice of The Financial World,
how much better off they'd be.
Listen
If you had followed that papers
advice in October last year, you'd
be sitting pretty now with a profit
of more than 100 per cent. And that
on borrowed money.
For example
Say you'd thrown a mere $1,000
into Wheeling-Lake Erie. Of that
only $1,000 need have been in cash
with the rest on margin, represent
ing your gamble that the stock
wouldn't flop. You could have
cleared out on February % for
$4,000, leaving a pretty little clean
up of $4,100 or as much as you might
make by hard work in two years.
Only you didn't have sense enough
to follow Financial Worlds advice
or the money either.
Some Predicting is Easy.
The financial ouacks are cleaning
up plenty Of money nowadays by this
sort Of prediction" In a rising mar
ket, characteristic Of Coolidge-Mel-
Ion administration Of the government
in behalf Of Wall Street since 1923,
most Of the stocks are bound to go
up. Thus it can be seen that the
predicter's job isn't a terribly hard
one. Where prediction becomes
tough, is in foreseeing the crash
which is bound to come. Stocks that
run up the clock hickory dock, must
come a-running down too, some day.
And just when will "the day" ar
rive?
The best minds don't know, and
the bestest Of them admit it. Of
course old Judge Gary win keep on
squawking prosperity" until he
kicks off and the National Bureau
of Economic Research will continue
dividing 30 billions of dollars annual
national income among 44,500,000 ac-
lively employed persons and striking
an average income" which doesn't
exist. Ask the coal miner, the tex
tile worker, the steel worker just
how much prosperity" he sees at

MEXICAN ENVOY
QUITS POSITION
IN WASRIhCTO

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March c.
Fear that Coolidge intends to increase
the tension between the United States
and Mexico during the congressional
recess was strcngthened when it was
learned that Manuel VI. G. Teller, the
Mexican ambassador to the United
States was recalled and was already
on his way to report to President
Gales.
Ambassador Teller refused TO re-
veal the reasons for his departure but
il is reported that it is due to re-
quest for his recall by the state de-
partment for alleged propaganda in
favor Of his government. The am
hassador could rightfully be accused
Of defending the actions Of his gov
ernment against the oil trust attacks
but hitherto this has been considered
one of the functions of Mexican rep
resentative.
Nothing TO Say.
Questioned regarding the answer
Of the recent United States note given
to Mexico, the contents Of which are
being kept secret, Mr.. Teller said
he had absolutely nothing to say, nor
would he comment on whether Mexico
plans to answer. 1t is believed in
diplomatic circles that Ambassador
Teller viii confer with President
Gales with regard TO this note.
Asked as to the rumored lifting Of
the embargo on arms, which. were
it to take place, would plunge Mexico
into civil war, Teller merely shook
his head.

Samuel Sha, member Of edi-

Daily told an audience of Irish work
ers last Friday evening in Bryant
Hall, that the Chinese revolutionary
forces would sound the death knell
of British and all other imperialisms
in China and that the freedom of all
subject and oppressed peoples was
as dear to the hearts of the Chinese
revolutionists as the freedom of China
itself.
Mr.. Sha, the principal speaker, was
greeted with cheers by the audience.
He told those present that the Brit
ish government forced the opium drug
on the Chinese at the point of the
gun, that all imperialist powers were
out to rob the people of that country
and that the government of the Soviet
Union alone was the true friend of
the Chinese people.
Promise OF Support.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Irish Workers Repub-
lican Alliance. Joseph O'Byrne, sec
rotary Of the organization read let
ters from Irish radical groups in
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and San
Francisco paedging support of the OBJ
jeets of the alliance, which are sup
port of the movement for freedom for
the workers in Ireland and for pro-
gressive political and industrial policy
for the workers in the United States.
