Coolidge Ba|ks at
Porto Rico Relief;
Backs Sugar Trust

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-(FP)--
President Coolidge will take no action
to relieve the economic misery Of the
masses Of the people in Porto Rico,
it was indicated at the White House
after Coolidge had heard the report
of Secretary of War Davis, who re-
Gently visited the island. It was at
banquet by the island legislature
to Davis that the terrible condition of
the workers of Porto Rico was de-
scribed in a speech by Sen. Iglesias,
Socialist.
Coolidge has decided that Porto
Ricans are friendly toward the rest
Of the United States" but that there
is no reason for giving them special
attention now. He will soon appoint
new governor in place of Governor
Towner, who is i'll, but he will not
name a Porto Rican for the place.
He does not propose to humor their
demand for the right to elect their
own governor.
Towner, who was formerly chair
man of the House committee on in
sular affairs, has been a tool of the
American corporations in the island
which control the sugar, coffee, to-
bacco and fruit industries. Standards
Of living among plantation workers
have sunk to level Of semi-starva-
ton, but corporate profits have been
high.

Chinese Speaker
At Chicago May
Day Celebration

CHICAGO, H., April 1s.-May
First means a lot to the workers Of
Chicago. Historically. it is TO the
fathers of Chicago's present genera
ton Of wage slaves that world labor
owes it's annual international holiday.
During the great working class stlug-
giles of the eighties in this country
Chicago was the center of the fight
for the eight hour day that culmin-
ated in the murder Of the Haymarket
victims.
The eisht-hour strikes during that
fiery decade were called each year
on May First The biggest Of these
efforts was that of 1886. The work
ers of Chicago were the standard
bearers. A huge strike at the Nc
Cormick Harvester works called prior
to May First was fused with the gem
eral eight-hour movement. On the
second of May a great demonstration
was held at the Mccormick plant.
Company gunner and police opened
fire on the crowd and several were
killed.
Haymarket Frameup
The following day meeting was
called in the Haymarket as protest.
It was at this demonstration that the
dastardly frame-up was perpetrated
that ended in the hanging Of the
Haymarket martyrs and reign Of
terror that crushed the eight-hour
movement.
For the workers Of Chicago the OBJ
servance of the international holiday
TO be held at the Ashland Auditorium
on Sunday, May First in the evening,
is of special moment.
But aside from its historical signi-
ficance, May First this year comes at
a time when the revolutionary move
ment is looking up again. Next to
the Russian Revolution, the Chinese
nationalist liberation movement is the
greatest working class achievement
Of recent years.
Chinese Speaker
The meeting being held on May
First this year turnout the country
under the auspices of the Workers
Communist Party will put special en-
phasis on the Chinese revolution and
voice the demand that American and
all other imperialist powers keep
Hands off China" C. T. Chi, who

will be a speaker at the Chicago
meeting.

R. R. Brotherhood
Official Scores
Company Pensions

CLEVELAND, April Is (FP).--
When railroad offers a pension
scheme it is a good thing - examine
it before swallowing the hook and
sinker. Usually the union gives far
more for the same money and gives
it with greater certainty and less red
tape. This at least is the conclusion
reached by I'd Vice Pres. H. P. Daugh-
erty of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers.
my advice to our members is to
have nothing to do with any of these
proposed company pension schemes"
Daugherty says, "for you can get
better and cheaper pension protection
through your own organization and
you will have the satisfaction of con-
trolling it yourself
"For example an employee earning
$3.50 a month under the company
plan would have SLIPS month de-
Quoted from his wage for 40 years to
be eligible for a pension of $137.50 a
month. IL a member paid $t1.25 a
month into the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineer Pension Assn. for
40 years and retired at the age of 65,
we could pay him a pension of 1927
a month instead Of the S137.50 the
company proposes to pay"
Daugherty notes in studying the
most up-to-date company pension
plans that they usually contain a
provision that either party may with
draw on 80 days notice. This simply
means, he says, that the company is
keeping the way open to quit the
pension racket any time the plan be-
comes burdensome and the employees
will find "that they have been hold
ing an empty sack" In Chicago the
employees of Nelson Morris & Co. lost
their pensions when Armour & Co.
bought up the firm. Armour bought
the assets but dumped the pension
liabilities and the Illinois courts de-
cided that Armour could not be held
for the obligations.
Lots Of strings are tied to the PEN
sion plans by the railroad companies,
Daugherty further discovers. If a
disabled engineer can tend a crossing
he would get only part of his company
pension until he is SIS, for example,
any any employee who sues the COM
pany for personal injury or any other
reason thereby forfeits his pension
rights.

How High Do Radio Waves Travel?

In contrast to the radio tests made
below sea level others have been made
to see how high radio will go. As
yet, the answer to this question has
not been found. Capt. H. C. Gray,
who recently climbed 81 900 feet above
Scott field in a free balloon failed to
get above the radio limit.
He listened in with a broadcast re-
eeiver and picked up concerts from
KSD and KNOX, st. Louis, hearing
them clearly until the altimeter regis
tered $1,000 feet, when he began the
six-mile descent. Capt. Gray did not
listen during the drop because he was
too busy preparing to make a para
chute jump. He reported no static at
the high altitude, where the tempera-
ture was 70 degrees below zero.

For dessert there must be a brides
cake, of course, and a grooms too
II you have time to make it. And
don't forget to put in the brides cake
thimble, button, piece of money

A fine rich white butter cake is
incest for the brides cake, although
many people prefer an angel food.
This should be decorated with high

artist with a cake decorating tube, you
might like to bake the cake and take
1t to a baker to decorate for you and
1t could repose on your table as the

The bride could cut it herself.
A dark fruit cake for groom's cake
may be made several days in advance
and put aside to ripen.
Doubtless you have recipes for
these two kinds of cake but for fear
you haven't, | include the following:

tons. Many listeners had complained
Of too much direct advertising and of
interference with the reception of
higher class eastern programs. It was
as result of those complaints that
the commission decided on the redue-
tons which caused this great mass
protest from the farmers.
It is reported that the farmers pro-
test to the commission were for the
most part, very strongly worded and
left little doubt as to what they want
ed in radio. In many cases they

threatened to secure a change of adj
ministration by making a political
question of the problem at election
time. It was also interesting to note
that more of the letters came from
farmers wives than from the farmers
themselves.
It is as yet, too early to determine
what effect the farmers protests viii
have on the commission but with the
rapid increase of radio ON the farm,
and with the federal governments
elaborate farm program policies, it is
certain that such a mass protest will
not pass unnoticed.

It is significant to note that one of

that the power and wave lengths of

duced, close to ten thousand listeners
of those stations wrote protests to the
commission within four days time.

Ice Cream with Fruit Sauce

l chose frozen fruit salad for the
first course because it is unusually
refreshing and different, too. OF
course a chilled fruit cocktail made OF
any available fruits would be less
trouble and serve quite as WELL Here
is a recipe for frozen fruit salad which
will serve u people and in which you
can put any kind of fruit you prefer
IN place Of what the recipe calls for.
Frozen Fruit Salad
1 y cups diced bananas
Y cup diced oranges
cup diced peaches
z cup chopped nuts
cup Royal Ann cherries or white
grapes
cup sugar
a cup lemon juice
pint heavy cream.
Whip cream, fold in sugar, fruits,
nuts and lemon juice. Put in baking
powder or coffee cans and pack in
one part salt to three parts ice. Let
stand three or four hours. Slice and
serve in a cup-like leaf of head let
tuce and garnish with dressing made
of equal parts of mayonnaise and
whipped cream. A simple French
dressing, however, will be sufficient
on this.
Plain salt waters accompany this
salad we'll. Paprika crackers are simp-
ly the white salt waters spread light
ly with butter and sprinkled with
paprika. They are bright and attrac-
tive on the side of the individual
salad plates.
Chicken Terrapin is a variation of
creamed chicken. I'm old fashioned
enough to think there is nothing bet
ter than chicken for extra occasions.
I'm partial to fried chicken too, but
| thought perhaps you would rather
have this recipe.
Chicken Terrapin
a tbsp. butter
4 tbsp. Rex flour
u tsp. salt
F. G. pepper
2 cups scalded milk
4 cup canned pimEentos
2 tbsp. ripe olives cut in strips
Juice one lemon
tsp. mustard
IL cups cold cooked chicken cut
in dice
3 hard cooked eggs
Melt the butter in a sauce pan.
Add the flour, salt and pepper, and
mix until smooth. Then add slowly,
stirring all the time, the scalded
milk. Stir until the sauce boils, then
place over hot water and add the
pimientos cut in strips, the ripe olives,
the lemon juice, the mustard and the
cooked chicken. Mash the egg yolks
and cut the whites in strips and add
to the sauce. Serve this in patty cases,
timbal cases or in toasted bread cups.
Double this recipe for IL people.
Other kinds of meat than chicken
can be used in this recipe-sweet-
breads, crab meat, mushrooms and
hard cooked eggs, sardines, shrimps
and peas, celery and cheese, fish, etc.

ference to shoe string or potato chips
because new potatoes are so good now.
For the parsleyed potatoes, choose
small ones, boil them until tender, but
still firm enough to hold up WELL
Drain and dry over low fire, then
put butter in the pan and finely
chopped parsley and roll them
around Easier than this, though, if
you are preparing many Of them, is
to melt butter in small sauce pan

then pour this parsley sauce over the
potatoes just before they are to be
