his letter:
Thomas T. Conroy, Secy.,
Worcester Central Labor Union,
62 Madison Street,
Worcester, Mass.
Dear Sir and Brother:
My attention has been called to the
fact that at recent meeting of the
Worcester Central Labor Union, Jose
Kelley made certain statements con-
corning my activities in the Mexican
labor movement. Mr.. Kelley has sew
eral times made similar statements,
and l therefore find it necessary to
request that you read this statement
to the Worcester Central Labor Union
dealing with the facts on the matter.
UnfOunded Charges.
understand that Mr.. Kelley, in his
lectures, declares that there are no
native Communists in Mexico; that
all Communists there are American
"slackers" who fled from the states
to avoid the draft. He said further
that the Communists in Mexico, and
that ! in particular, supported De la
Huerta in his attempt at a reaction
airy revolt against the Oregon adj
ministration. Finally, he stated that
the Mexican Communists support
every reactionary movement in Mex
leo.
As to the first of these deelara-
tions-at the time / was in Mexico,
there were only three members of
foreign birth in the Mexican Commu-
mist Party. Communism has its roots
deep in the Mexican masses. The
Communist movement is particularly
strong among the workers in the oil
workers and railroad unions. As to
the insinuations concerning "slack-
ers," ! wish to state that | went to
Mexico in the year 1923 and not in
1917, as Mr.. Kelley implies.
AS to the slanderous report that
the Communists support every reac-
tlonary movement in Mexico, and
more specifically, that they support
ed the De Ia Huerta rebellion-here
are the facts and--Jose Kelley is in
a position to know these facts as
well as I;
1.-The Communists Immediately
branded the De la Huerta rebellion as
counter-revolutionary union of the
big land owners, the clerical reaction
and the British oil interests.
Fought De la Huerta.
1.-The entire Communist Party
was modified for the defense of the
obregon government (altho it had
much to criticize in the Obregon Gov
ernment) because they realized that
the De la Huerta reaction would be
much worse.
The Oregon Government CRATE
fully accepted the offer and supplied
recruiting commissions to men desig-
mated by the party, and military
equipment
The only stipulation that the Com
munist Party made was that the
peasant contingents it raised should
operate Independently Of the main
army command and under their own
Communist officers. The most i'm
portant and successful Of these bands
was the troop raised by Ursula Gal
van, who was commissioned by the

Maturing Mortgages
Under $4,000.

An amendment to the bylaws of the
Washington Real Estate Board placing
a ban on soliciting maturing loans
under $4,000 was adopted by the
members of the board at their meet
ing Thursday night at the Wardman

organization.
The amendment reads:
There shall be no solicitation. by
letter or otherwise, of maturing loans
of less than $25 900, held by or repre-
sented by other members of the Wash

hibits the distribution of any printed
or written matter in reference to the
making of mortgage loans to persons
whose loans are about to mature"

tered more boldly into discussions
among themselves about others avail
able for the party's presidential nom
nation
Although most OF them came here
hopeful and some of them fully
expectant that the presidents posi-
ton would be made more clear to
them either by definite statement
OF in some indirect manner, a large
number of those already on the
ground, for one reason or another
have come to the conclusion that
it is useless to look for White
House elaboration
Accordingly, but still proceeding
with caution, they have begun to
feel each other out on the best
course to pursue after the committee
meeting adjourns and it is the pres
ent opinion of some of the most
prominent members that the only
thing to do is to go back home with
the word that the field is open to
anyone who chooses to become active
for the nomination.
1t is the judgment of some, in fact,
that this conclusion will be the most
notable result of the meeting which
in previous years has led to the
laying of concrete campaign plans,
but many believe that while the
situation will tend to clear itself as
time progresses, conditions at the
opening of the primary election cam
paign will be on more delicate ba-
sis of political understanding than
in other recent presidential years.
A significant angle of the early
discussions of possible candidates is
that they are confined for the most
part to the few men who have been
mentioned most frequently for the
republican nomination Outside OF
Curtis, of Kansas, the names most
frequently heard continue to be
Hoover, Dawes, Lowden and Hughes,
With the vice president the second
choice of nearly all of the committee
men who declare one of the other
three is most popular in their local

The most pronounced diversion
from what appears to be the gen.
eral trend toward considering it use
less to look for further word from
President Coolidge as to his own
future was the emphatic statement of
Representative Wood of Indiana,
chairman of the republican congress
sional campaign committee, that the
president would be the next candi-
date.

Soon after the league acted favor
