Senator Capper's Way
OF Helping Farmer Is
To Raise Tariff Rate

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov, 2S. -
Senator Capper, of Kansas, gentle
man farmer and owner of publish
ing house which puts out technical
farm journals, has appealed for an in
crease of the duty on grain by fifty
per cent, under the flexible tariff
clause" which gives the president the
right to make such an increase.
The present import duty is 15 cents
bushel, and the increase would be
% and one-half cents.
Capper argues "The imports from
Argentina have grown from 724,167
bushels in 1926 to 3,500,000 this year
think the huge sum of money re-
quired to buy this grain should have
been spent with the producers in the
United States.

Latest Runl0r That
Car Over Filipino
viii Be Big Banker

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20.-
The latest of the many rumors which
have intrigued political circles as to
the future governor general OF the
Philippines is that none of the men
hitherto mentioned will be selectcS
but that Coolidge will do something
like what he did in the case of the
Ambassador to Mexico, pick out a
banker or big industrialist so power
ful and reactionary that he will GO
thru the Senate simply because no
one dares to vote against him.
Coolidge is known to be in favor
of direct rule by big business men
and the governor generalship of tbs
Philippines is satrapy with such
magnificence and power attached to
it, such opportunities to graft, anc
such lack of responsibility, that
even another Morgan partner might
be attracted. Great secrecy attends
the choice. Only a few of the in
siders are said to know. The name
is expected in the Presidents mes
sage, or soon thereafter.

Leaflet Points to Drive
Against Unions

"Workers, the injunction menace
must be fought to finish or it will
finish all of u.s." states the Central
Executive Committee Of the Workers
(Communist) Party of America in a
leaflet of which 100000 are being
printed. "We must break the injunc-
ton blockade against our right to or
ganize, our right to strike, our right
to picket and our right to the pursuit
of life, liberty and happiness" con-
tinues the committee. eff the enemies
of the workers get away with their
present injunction drive against the
workers then every gain and every
right it has taken us scores of years
to win will be wiped out in quick
time"
Injunction Epidemic.
The leaflet begins by pointing out
to the workers of America that they
are being robbed of the right to or
ganize, their unions are being wiped
out, and that vast open-shop con-
spiracy is on foot, all heralded by an
epidemic of drastic injunctions sweep
ing over the country.
A veritable Government by In
junction." brazen and open in its de-
france of the democracy which the
American workers have been led to
believe they possess is under way,
and it means to substitute company
unions for real unions, yellow dog"
contracts for collective bargaining,
and lower wages and longer hours for
the already too low wages and too
long work day.

Executive Committee in this warning
are the assaults on the miners union

The coal companies are also
demanding that the United Mine
Workers reimburse them for all
expenses incurred in evicting
the miners and their families, includ-
ing wages of the coal and iron police
for shooting and blackjacking miners,
their wives and children. The union
must pay for the costs of the reign of

cation, will attempt to force the
powers to face the disarmament
question.
The Soviet Union will come
out unequivocally for immediate
disarmament. The Soviet Unions
position is clearly stated in an edi-
torial which recently appeared in the
Moscow Pravda which declares:
Stress Desire For Peace.
''The Soviet delegation will go to
Geneva not because the Soviet gov
ernment has changed its position on
the Geneva talking club but because
it wishes again to stress its peace
loving policy. The Soviet Union will
be in a position in Geneva to prove
by indisputable facts those who real
ly wish to disarm and those who are
irreconcilably opposed to it.
"The Soviet Union will remind the
assembly that the Soviet government
repudiated the predatory treaties of
tsarist Russia, will remind them of
Genoa, the Moscow disarmament con-
ference of 1922, the Economic Con-
ference at Geneva in May, 1927, a
whole series of guarantee spactsa .s.alsss
treaties of peace, etc."
Ask Protection.
The Soviet delegation which ar
rived here the day before yesterday
has insisted that the Swiss govern
mont crI1o
protection against the possibility of
another murder such as that of the
assassination of Vorovsky, Soviet
delegate to the Lusanne conference
Blame Poland.

Nations.
Lithuania, he declared, did not re-
linquish it's claim to Wilma.

The situation in Lithuania is still
tense, according to reports from Kov-
no. Dispatches declared that the
country had been virtually placed
under martial law by Premier Wal
