VEL COME FIFTH
CONVENTION OF
PARTY TONIGHT
Communist Mass Meet
at Central Opera House

The Fifth National Convention of
the Workers (Communist) Party
opens tomorrow in this city. Prac-
tically all the prominent members of
the Workers Party will attend and
many of them are in town at the
present time.
Tonight a mass meeting to cele-
brate the opening of the Fifth Con-
vention will be held at Central Opera
House, 9th st. and Third Ave-, at
8 p. m. Among the speakers will be
Jay Lovestone, VIM. z. Foster, Ben
Gitlow, James P. Cannon, Max Be-
dacht and Earl Browder.
Discuss Labor Problems.
The meeting will not be one of the
usual sort of welcoming meetings,
where everyone repeats the same old
slogans, but will deal with the press
ing problems that face labor at this
time, including the major question OF
the new threat of world war, the les
sons of class collaboration, the fight
against imperialism. Other questions
will be the labor party, the organiza-
tion of the unorganized, the drive fol-
recognition Of the Soviet Union and
the fight to get the armed forces OF
American imperialism out of China.

TARIFF INCREASE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. = The
State Department will resist any at
tempt on the part of China to put a
program for tariff autonomy into eff
feet this fall, it was learned today.
The legation at Peking and the con-
sular offices thruout southern China
have been sent instructions to lodge
"strongly-worded protests" against
any increase of tariff duties. State
Department officials, refuse to say
what action would be taken if the
State Departments "protest" proved
unavailing.
Despite repeated promises made by
the United States and the provisions
of the Washington treaties for in
creased customs duties, the State De-
partment will resist taxes that are so
"high as to work hardship upon Amer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-While
prospective Republican presidential
candidates are watchfully waiting to
see what President Coolidge will do,
three Del locratic booms welcome the
New Year.
Friends of Senator James A. Reed,
Missouri Governor Victor Donahey,
Ohio, and Governor AL Smith, New
York, have informed Democratic pol
iticians of the availability of these
gentlemen.
The Donahey boom was carefully
planted and watered in Washington
just before Christmas, but it failed
to interest congressman to any con-
siderable extent. There were two
reasons for this indifference to the
Ohio Democrat who has thrice car
ried that Republican commonwealth:
first, the suspicion that the Gov
ernor's boom was in reality a move
by Representative Martin l.. Davey.
an ambitious, likewise wealthy, Ohio
politician, to ease Donahey out Of
the Governors office in order to
make way for himself; and, second.
because Democrats think they ought
to wait until Congress is adjourned
before giving serious attention to the
1928 presidential campaign.
The presidential publicity for Sen.
ator Reed was occasioned by Repre-.
sentative John j. Cochran of that
state who, instead of accepting Da-
veys invitation to get behind Dona-
hey, urged the Ohioan to get on the
Reed band-wagon before it is too late.
Cochran asserted with positiveness
hat the next President is coming
rom Missouri" and he urged Ohio
politicians to include themselves
among the original Reed men.
Democratic members of the New
York congressional delegation dur
ing the present session of Congress
have pointed with much pride to
Governor Smiths recent overwhelm.

INF Urinary REPAIR
FUND IS SOUGHT
Commissioners to Consider
$4,000 Request.

Marion County commissioners to-
day were to consider a recommends
ton of Commissioner George Snider
that an appropriation of $4,000 be
raised to "clean up" the county in
Urinary and make general repairs.
Snider made the recommendation
after his return from q visit there
Wednesday afternoon with Commits
sioner Charles Sutton.
Snider's recommendation follows
one recently made by Councilman
George Montgomery, that the two
upper floors of the four-story wing
and the upper one of the three-story
building be removed.
The county council last week re-
fused to pass a $4,000 ordinance for
repairing the structures.
1t is known that Commissioner
Cassius J.. Hogle favors razing the
old wings. Snider and Hogle dis
agree on the fact that the State will
soon take over care Of the depend
ents, Snider believing this will come
in a few years while Hogle said the
matter is too remote" to be serious

LITERATURE BILL
OPPOSITION SEEN

Constitutionality of the "salacious
literature" bill introduced by Sen.
ator George W. Simms Rep.), Vigo
County, will be questioned when its
public hearing is held.
Opponents are preparing for a
vigorous fight and will, it is claimed
seek to prove that the bill as drawn
is class legislation.
The State board of education, un.
der the measure, would have super.
vision of the literature and would
assume legislative functions which
1t should not possess, it is contended.
Those against the measure assert
that under it's provisions two types
of magazines could print the same
story and only one be guilty under
the law.
Public morals committee of the
Senate will hear both sides. Sen
ator John C. Sherwood is head of
the committee.
