Frank L. Speakman, attorney for

damus actions brought by Thomas w.
Truitt and James A. Hart in an at
tempt to regain their seats as Levy
Court commissioners from the Sixth

The motions to dismiss give the fol-
lowing reasons: Petition does not
show upon its face a clear right to
the really demanded, that it affirma-
lively appears in and by the petition
that realtors (Truitt and Hart) are
not entitled to the relief prayed for,
that it appears in and by the petition
that the realtors have improperly join
ed as defendants, the Levy Court and
its individual members, as compared
with the exclusion of Truitt, Hart,
Johnson and Caulk, and that it ap-
pears in and by the petitions that the
Superior Court is without jurisdiction
to award a writ of peremptory man
damus against the defendants as man,
ed and described in the petitions. The
actions were filed after Truitt and
Hart had been refused recognition by
the Levy Court at its meeting three

"Pidyon Haben" is Hebrew phrase
meaning the redemption of the first
born" This custom is in fulfllment
of the biblical command which pro-
vides that every first-born male crea-
ture belongs to the religious organiza-
tion through the fact that it is the
possession of God and not its par
ents. A first-born male child is,
therefore, redeemed" on the thir-
tieth day, according to the biblical
command. The price of redemption
IS 20 shekels, based on the price of
Joseph's redemption.

In view Of the acts of
aggression Of the
American irnperiahsts
against the workers Of
the world, and the
attempt to involve
millions in a new World
War, in view Of the
attacks which are being
made against the trade
unions, on behalf of the
workers of this country,
we hereby declare a
state of war against the
capitalist class of this
country. On and after
Iuly |, 1927, there will
therefore be waged an
intensive campaign
against our common
enemy. The campaign
will be waged with the
most powerful weapon
at our command, The

objective will be to
secure an army of new
readers for The DAILY

VISIONS standing IN the way.
Gomez Reactionary.
Two other candidates have offered
themselves for the 1928 election. Gen
eral Gomez, commander of the Vera
Cruz garrison, has just resigned that
post to announce his candidacy while
General Serrano, commander of the
Federal District garrison, has done
likewise. Gomez, it is felt, is a can
didate of the business and oil inter
ests which want Mexicos protective
legislative bars let down to permit
the ready exploitation of her great
natural resources by foreigners.
Serrano is running on an anti
Obregon platform of mo reelection"
He insists that Obregon's candidacy
violates the spirit if not the letter
Of the constitutional provision against
reelection for successive terms. Ser
rano is also well regarded by the
business interests.
While labor and the organized peas
ants are still the strongest group in
Mexico, according to Iglesias, never
theless the army still remains prob
lem for constitutional government to
meet. Either of the two army men
contending for the presidency might
conceivably receive foreign or domes-
tic financial support. With this they
might organize a coup d'etat, one or
the other capturing central cities and
setting up dictatorship.
Workers Partly Armed.
Workers and peasants, through
penetration of all districts, are striv-
ing to isolate the army from politics
and place it on proper footing as
defense force solely. Arms are
widely distributed among the trade
unionists and each able-bodied mem
Der has some knowledge of military
drill and discipline.
The Mexican Federation of Labor
whose membership also composes the
bulk of the Labor Party, will not of
ficially announce its Endorsement OF
Obregon until it meets in annual con
yention in September in Mexico City
Iglesias says. However, its action
can be virtually predicted, unless
there is some remarkable political
change in the meantime.
The Mexican government is max
ing fine Roadway in the economic
Strengthening Of the country, Igles-
las declares. Irrigation projects, roac
building, founding of rural schools
and the establishment of poems or
farms as individual producers &c

WASHINGTON, June 80, OPP
That General Alvaro Obregon, former
president of Mexico, will be elected
with labor support to succeed Presi-
dent Elias Gales is the unofficial
prediction of Santiago Iglesias, sec
rotary of the Pan-American Fedora
ton of Labor who has just returned
from Mexico City.
The Mexican Federation of Labor
(CROM) has taken no action yet on
Endorsements in the coming national
elections, but it is felt that the rec
ord of Oregon while president from
1920 to 1924 as well as his recently
announced program against religious
dictation and ruthless imperialism
will win him labor suffrage again.
