A GROWING RACE

There are 349,595 Indians in the

years ago the Navajos and Cher

in the decrease of the vanishing

idly increased in late years.

ARTICLE No. II

The writer has pointed out many
lines in these articles the folly of bid
ling no-trump with hands that contain
, singleton or void suit. Such hands
eldom score game at no-trump unless
,artner has the missing suit, so with
his type of hand bid suit, if possible,
N the first round. By so doing, you will
i've partner and opponents a chance
bid and your subsequent procedure
depends entirely on their bidding. I'm
ess your partner bids the missing suit,
lon't venture a no-trump bid for it
eldom produces a game. With such a
,and, suit bid is preferable. The fol-
owing is an excellent example:

No score, rubber game. z dealt and bid
one diamond. This may seem an un-
sound bid, for he hasn't top cards in the
diamond suit but his two aces are COM
pensating cards and the diamond bid
is much sounder than a no-trump with
the singleton ace of spades. A bid one
spade, Y two diamonds and B passed.
Z now decided that hearts offered a
better chance for game than diamonds
so bid two hearts and all passed. He
easily made four odd, while at no-trump
A would have passed and opened his
spade suit. With the ace of diamonds
as a reentry, he could easily have saved
game. Be on the lookout for hands of
this type and don't bid no-trump with
a singleton or void suit if you also have
a suit bid that is justi6able. You will
find that the suit bid is much more de-
pendable and offers a much better
chance for game.

No score, first game. 2 dealt and bid
one heart, A two clubs, Y two diamonds
and B three clubs. Z now bid three
spades and all passed. A opened the
ace of clubs and z trumped in dummy
with the six of spades. How should Z
plan the play and is it possible for him
to score game? Z should endeavor to
establish a cross ruff and use up all his
trumps, if possible, in this manner. He
should lead the five of hearts from Y's
hand, winning the ace in his own. He
should then lead a club from his hand
and trump in Y's hand. He should then
lead the eight of hearts from Us hand.
If B passes this trick, Z should win it
with the king and lead another club,

No score, first game. z dealt and bid
one spade, A doubled, Y passed and B
bid two clubs. Z bid two spades and all
passed. The bidding of this hand is not
sound but the only question to be de-
cided is: Can w score game at spades
against the best defense if A opens the
ace of diamonds and follows with low
diamond? w cannot go game if B
trumps the second diamond lead with
the jack of spades. If Z overtrumps, A
is bound to make three trump tricks.

SCHUYLER And
insult CITED
FOR CONTEMPT
Millionaire Says Feels a
Duty to Give Money

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - Samuel
insult, the Chicago utility magnate,
Daniel F. Schuyler, his personal at
torney, and Thomas Cunningham, a
Philadelphia court clerk, were cited
TO the senate this afternoon for con-
tempt by the Reed campaign fund
committee.
Gifts A "Duty."
While the citation for contempt was
being prepared, insult relaxed lit
tie, and made a statement to the
press as to his reasons for giving
over a quarter Of million dollars to
influence the course of elections in
Illinois. Insults excuse, made with
a smile, was that he firmly believes
his contributions were "a duty"-a
necessary duty in his guardianship
of the we'll over a billion dollars in
vested in the public utilities under
his control" He Sleeps with an easy
conscience and he feels that to have
ignored the local elections in Illinois,
would have made him faithless to the
trust imposed in him." The invest
ments in his care, he estimated, to-
tailed more than the value of all Henry
Ford's properties.
Must Run Country.
The implication was, that he be-
lieves it necessary for his companies
to control the government out his
way, and that anything short of this
is treason to his stockholders.
He added that he loved politics,
spent lot of time in the houses of
parliament while in London, but
wouldn't have anything to do with
national politics in America after
this.
Admits Huge Gifts.
insult, while being investigated by
the Reed senatorial committee inves-
tigating graft in the elections of U. S.
senators, admitted giving $125,OO0 to-
the candidacy of Frank L. Smith, now
under fire in the senate. He admit
ted giving Robert E. Grove, states
attorney in Chicago $4,000 and other
sums elsewhere, a grand total of
S23T, 900, but refused to say where
two gifts of $4,000 each went. It
was for this refusal that he was cited
for contempt.

Counter ReVOlutiOnist
Mexican General Given
Light Sentence by U. S.

Los ANGELES, Feb. 2S.-Gener-
al Enrique Estrada, former Mexican
minister of war, was sentenced here
to serve one year and five months
in a federal penitentiary and to
pay a fine of $4,000 following his
conviction on charges of conspiracy
to violate the neutrality laws of
the United States.
Estrada tried to overthrow the
Gales regime and re-establish the
clerical De La Huerta rule. His
light sentence is in striking con-
trast to that inflicted upon Rangel,
Cline and others who were con-
victed of attempting to overthrow
extremely reactionary governments
IN Mexico and set up more liberal
ones.

WAR DEPARTMENT
MAKING CAPITAL
OF FLYERS FALL
Demonstration to Awe
Latins Goes On

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - The
death of Captain Woolsey and Lieut..
Benton, two of the Goodwin"
American military flyers touring
over Latin America with their great
bombing planes, did not stop the
flight The political exegiencies are
the same as before, and the necessity
Of overawing the Latins remains.
The war department announced
cable from the ranking survivor Ma
ior Dargue, in which all the blame
for the mishap is laid on the dead
flyers, and in which, it is said, plea
is made for the continuation of the
flight, Gin the spirit of the best
traditions of the service. This re-
quest was Immediately complied with,
after a conference of Secretary Daw-
son and Major General Patrick.
War department officials have
seized. readily on the fact that the
accident provides them with a
martyr, and are capitalising it for all
it is worth.
In all public statements the hero
ism Of the surviving officers is in
sisted upon, tho their heroism seems
to have been merely that of trusting
their lives to what recently deposed
head of the air service declared to
be 'toy planes, nearly useless. Once
up, and once in the wreck, the men
not knocked unconscious jumped with
parachutes and came safely to earth.
Yesterdays crash occurred after the
aviators had gone through maneuvers
over Buenos Aires.
The four planes were flying to-
gether six hundred meters high when
suddenly two swung to the right and
the Detroit and New York swung to
the left in their maneuvers. 1t was
then that the New York and Detroit
became tangled.
Dargue and Whitehead jumped
with their parachutes, but Woolsey
and Benson were evidently unable to
find their own parachutes. Benson
made a heroic effort to reach Wool
seys parachute but missed and fell.
He was badly mangled. Woolsey fell
in his flaming plane and was burned
to death. Dargue and Whitehead
were knocked senseless but as soon
as they recovered consciousness they
ran back to where their compaions
lay dead. Dargue wept bitterly.
The plane Detroit was burned and
the New York was dashed to pieces.
The war department explanation of
the mishap as gathered from Major
| Dargue's report was:
Major Dargue in the front plane
gave the agreed signal to break
formation and land. This was under
stood. The planes behind and to his
right and left obeyed, one turning
out to the right, the Detroit" to the
/ left.
In his maneuver the hull of Capt.
Woolsey's plane evidently hid from
him the plane ''New York" which was
at slightly lower attitude, and turn
to the right as he started his glide to
land the nose of his plane struck the
New York"
"The planes, each travelling at least
100 miles an hour, locked together
and were out of control.

Labor Must Show Its
Own Face in the Fight
With Its Class Enemy
BY J. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

Haugen legislation, so Borah, al
ways a regular republican, with
the aid principally of reactionary
southern democrats, becomes the
forefront of the demand for pub
Lefty on American relations with
Mexico and Nicaragua.
LaFollette, Shipsted, Nye, Fra
zier and the rest accepted the
leadership of Dawes and Lowden,
on the question of farm relief, and
now they have no independent
stand in the Wall Street imperial
ism, altho the workers and far
mers Of the states from which
they come demand, in overwhelm-
ing numbers, that an effective at
tack be carried on.
Both these situations arise out
Of the surrender Of the LaFollette
group to the reaction in congress,
so that they might have their regu-
larity restored and committee as
signments returned topthem.
The argument was made by its
members that if the LaFollette
group remains silent, then the Nc
Nary Haugen bill would have
chance to pass. The actual result
is now bitter history. The bankers
goth their McFadden-Pepper law,
as result of this vancouver, while
the farmers got a veto by Coolidge.
The LaFollette insurgents not
only hid in the trenches while
Dawes and Lowden were up front
making the fake fight under the
false colors of the farm-bank bloc.
They even tried to sneak to the
rear and out of sight. The result
was that they got shot in the back.
and must return TO their various
states thoroly discredited.
The same development is taking
place in Borah's fight for publicity
to rout the dollar diplomats out of
their cellars of secrecy. Borah car
ries on a lukewarm fight against
imperialism. Senator Wheeler
(Democrat-Montana) was active
for time. But he, too, seems to
have let down. LaFollette, Ship
sted, Nye and Frazier merely play
the role of "me, too" men when a
vote is to be taken. But the real
struggle has not yet lured them
cover the top" in an effective at
tack against the administration
policies. Nor will it.
Even if the LaFoIIette group
flares into a display Of fireworks
during the closing hours of this
congress, it cannot wipe out its
complete capitulation to the reac-
ton, which must mark the OPEN
ing of a new epoch in the political
struggle in their various states
back home. This new period will
be signalized by a rapid develop
ment of independent political ac-
ton of the workers and farmers
thru the labor party, as a result
of a growing realization of the
fact that the working class cannot
fight with a capitalist class front.
Labor must show its own face to
its class enemy.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-03-01

THE most important question be-
i fore the American working class
today is the attitude of the Wall
Street government at Washington
toward Mexico, Nicaragua and
China. Every bit of light that can
be shed on these maneuvers Of
American imperialist diplomacy,
that leads inevitably toward new
wars, is of great value in arousing
the masses to the approaching
danger.
The dollar diplomats always
choose to move in darkness. This
is shown in their bitter hostility to
the demand made by Senator
Borah that the senate foreign rela-
tions committee be allowed to make
an investigation of conditions in
Mexico and Nicaragua by visiting
these countries. Opposition is even
raised against an investigation car
ried on in Washington.
This war of secret diplomacy
against every effort to bring the
facts about Mexico and Nicaragua
into the open, where the worker
and farmer masses of the nation
can get good look at them, easily
becomes the outstanding issue dur
ing the closing days of congress.
The fight for publicity is worthy
of a filibuster that would keep
every bit Of Legislation off the floor
of the senate, if it would merely
bring to the attention of the nation
the fact that the Coolidge-Kellogg-
Mellon-Morgan government is try
ing to carry forward in secret its
dark designs against Pan-Ameri-
can countries.
Whatever struggle has been
made thus far, has been waged by
Senator Rorah, as chairman of the
senate committee on foreign rela-
tons. here, as in all other ques-
tions, notably the battle over the
McNary-Hau farm relief bill,
the so-called insurgents have no
independent position, Borah does
not consider himself an "insur-
gent" He was never a part Of the
LaFollette group. Just as Dawes
and Lawden, two great capitalists,
led the fight for the McNary-
