ON COOLIDGE
BY UNITED PRESS

Political figures throughout the
country have been more reticent to
comment on President Coolidge's
statement than the editorial writer's
in newspapers. Among those who
commented we're:
Vice-President Dawes: President
Coolidge has the respect and con-
fidence of the American people and
announcement of his decision will
be received with regret by millions
of his countrymen."
Frank o. Lowden: II have no
statement to make beyond the one
1 already have made to different
delegations that I know of no man
in all our history who has run
away from the presidency
Senator Hiram Johnson, Republic
an, California: mo living soul now
can tell what will be done by the
Republican party at the next con-
vention. The presidential race will
be a free-for-all."
William M. Butler, Coolidge's
OdlllpdlSh AldIldSCl. QSGply re-
gret the announcement, but am not
fully convinced that Mr.. Coolidge
will not run if nominated"
Governor Alvan T. Fuller, Massa-
chusetts: II think President Cool
idge is sincere in his statement that
he does not choose to run, but my
opinion is that the people of the
country will do the choosing for
him."
Charles D. Hilles, vice chairman
Republican national committee:
president Coolidge is man of can
dor and sincerity and I think he
made the statement without reser-
vation."
II do not think President Cool
idge is playing with the subject in
his statement" Senator Dale, Re-
publican, from Coolidge's homo
State, said.

Workers Continue Their
Protest Against Being
Held Up By Red Cross

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 26.
The headquarters of the Red
Cross here, of which President
Coolidge is nominal head, are
much worried over widespread re-
volt which is apparent all over the
country against their methods of
compelling workers with a regular
salary to "join" the organization.
The yearly drive will go on in
the Brooklyn navy yard in spite
of Admiral Plunkett's attempts to
avoid something like mutiny by
prohibiting it. The admiral has
been talked to by his superiors
and has yielded.
But Thomas j. Mahoney, chair
man of the shop committee of the
5000 naval yard machinists, con-
tinues his protest, and similar ac-
ton, embodied in resolutions from
local union and impromptu meet
ings of the unorganized in factor
les, railroad yards, and even ship
ping offices continue. The Red
Cross national office does not make
these resolutions public.

TED FOR

GUARD PETLURA

PARIS, Oct. 26-Samuel Schwartz
bard, slayer of General Simon Pet
lura, White Guardist bandit who ter
rorized the Ukraine, and slaughtered
thousands of Jews in a series of mas
sacres was acquitted yesterday. Not
oven jury composed of respectable
French citizens could resist the
wealth Of testimony proving that Pet
lura directed wholesale murders in
the Ukraine, or bring themselves to
guillotine their avenger.
Schwartzbard repeatedly declared
on the stand that he had killed Pet
lura because of the Jews murdered
in Ukrainian pogroms. Petlura, like
other White Guard generals subsi-
died at first by the Germans and
later by the Allies. killed thousands
of workers in his attempt to separate
the Ukraine from the Soviet Union.
Cheer SchwartZbard.
Pandemonium reigned in the halls
of the department Of justice when the
verdict was announced. Schwartz
bard was wildly cheered.

Stock Market Reflects
Depression in Steel;
Other Stocks Sinking

After wavering for a number of
days the stock market took a
downward plunge yesterday. Steel
common dropped as was natural
after the showing for the third
quarter, which was a disappoint-
ment to even the most pessimistic
of the Wall Street spectators.
Steel has fallen off more than 81
per cent from last years third
quarter report. General Motors is
also wavering, but this was to be
expected due to the appearance of
the new Ford car. Even rails are
lower as reports indicate decided
falling off in business, especially
car loadings.
