Geneva Confab Failure
Seen by Washington

CONTINUED from Page One)
abolition, or severe curtailment of TO-
0O0-ton cruisers, while not desiring to
be limited as to the total tonnage of
smaller cruisers, is considered both by
state and navy department repre-
sentatives here as vital blow aimed
at the efficiency of the American
navy.
American naval experts strongly in
sist that the need for 10,000-ton
cruisers is imperative from the stand
point of national defense because of
the Tremendous distances between
American naval bases. Britain, with
her naval bases circling the globe, can
get comfortably along with cruisers
of considerably lesser tonnage.
Again Reject Proposals.
There was another conference of
naval experts and state department
representatives here this morning to
examine the latest reports of the Bri-
fish proposal emanating from Geneva,
the navy experts registered unyielding
opposition to the division of the cruis-
ers into tonnage classes.
The American position was re-
stated again as in favor of total
tonnage of cruisers anywhere up to
$50, 900 or 100000 tons at the outside,
with each nation to build within those
limits according to individual needs.
In the case of the United States this
would mean number of 10,000-ton
cruisers certainly up to parity with
the British, and the construction of
as many smaller cruisers as would be
possible within the limits defined. In
the case of Britain, she could build as
many smaller cruisers to fit her needs
as the tonnage limit would allow.
Upon this general thesis, it was
strongly indicated today, there will be
no yielding at Geneva, and the col
lanse of the conference is admitted on
all sides.

Fight in DdImatia;
Are SOundIy Beaten

RAGUSA, Jugo Slavia, July -
Invading fascists from the Italian
shore, who marched in uniform thru
the streets hare singing "Giovanez-
"a" their provocative marching song,
and making derogatory remarks
about the non-Italian natives, came
off second best in the clash which
they thus precipitated
Despite the fact that the fascist
were armed with their clubs and
with revolvers, the Dalmatians with
stones and fists broke up their
demonstration and put many of them
in the hospital The police arrived
in time to prevent anybody from be-
ing killed.
The occasion of the march was a
celebration by the Italian "optants"
or those who have sigrHfied their de-
sire to be Italian subjects rather
than Jugo Slavs. Relations between
Mussolini and Jugo Slavia are not
improved at all by today's happen
ings.

SGditiOn Cases
Dismissed After
Over -Four Years

PITTSBURGH, July 13.-Indict-
ments against eight defendants in
the we'll known Pittsburgh Sedition
Case, which was the result of whole
sale "Red Raids" on May LIST, 1923,
was finally quashed, it was announced
several days ago. The defendants,
who for more than four years were
held under exorbitant high bail, of
from five to fifteen thousand dollars
are Max jenkins, Tom Myerscough,
Morris Pasternak, John Urban, A.
Rostrum, George Katziolis, A. Voy-
tuik and ]. Kovalsky. The indict-
ments were squashed on the same
grounds as the cases of Sadolkas and
Mezey were recently quashed in the
courts in Pittsburgh and Beaver re-
spectively, namely that "the indict-
ment does not contain any sufficient
allegations to sustain a conviction
under any of the courts"
Together with above defendants
were also arrested Fred Merrick and
Ed. Horacek. Merrick's case came
up for trial in November 1926. He
pleaded Nolle Condere and was given
suspended sentence of ten years.
Ed Horacek was tried Immediately
after Herrick was found guilty on
two counts after a trial which lasted
a whole week A motion for a new
trial was made by attorney Isaak
Ferguson of Chicago, but up to date
Judge Prather, who tried the case
rendered no decision on this motion.
The defense of all these cases were
taken care Of by the international
Labor Defense thru attorneys Mere
dith Marshall, Isaac Ferguson and
George Shaffer and it involved an ex-
pense of more than fifteen thousand
dollars, not counting the numerous
days lost by the defendants in Jail
and in courts. There are still out
standing bills which the defense com
mlttee has to pay on account of this
case. Funds are also urgently needed

teamsters affiliated with Local 178

against the bosses association who
are out to break their union and their

the courts is to hold Fred Carlin the

Transfers Union Local Gal of the
same International and Local 1926 Of
the hosting engineers in contempt Of

Realtors MuICt
City in Property
Deals, Says Berry

The city pays from three to five
times the assessed valuation of prop
erty on land that it buys for public
purposes. That is the charge made by
Comptroller Charles w. Berry, in a
communication to the Board of Esti-
mate.
Recommending that an investiga-
ton be made of the fancy prices which
the city has paid for land and that a
change in the methods of acquiring
city land be instituted, Comptroller
Berry declares that either the city
has been losing a great deal of money
by assessing city land at ridicously
low figures, or it has paid exorbitant
prices for land purchased.

Extension of the South Metallurgical
FOundries.

The machine construction commit
tee recognized the necessity of ex-
panding the Nikoliav Shipyard and
others. 1t has also been decided to
put the former "Russud" Mill into OPP
Grafton.
1t has been decided to give the fol-
lowing orders to the Nikloaievsk
shipyard: the commissariat for COM
munications will order 600 large
freight cisterns instead of the $50
originally contemplated. An order
will also be given to the same enter
prise for 600 Bottoms freight ears.
Apart from that the Glavmetal is ex-
pected to place bigger orders for
boilers. Next year the shipyard will
have to produce twice as many boil
ers as this year. Beginning with this
year it will also increase it's produc-
tion of Diesel engines.
All these measures will enable the

of them consists of several flats.
There is living accommodation for g.
900 people.
The construction Of the main build
ings of the combine is also rapidly
progressing. A celluloid factory is
under construction which will start
operations next January. Paper mills
will be built next year. The largest
building Of the celluloid factory is
the boiling department, where the
timber to make the celluloid will be
boiled. The construction of this build
ing is already almost completed. 1t
is already under roof and only the
finishing touches have to be put to it.
There will be huge boilers in the
building and these are now on the
way from Germany. Every one of the
boilers will be able to boil 28o cubic
metres Of wood at time. The wood
will be boiled at temperature of
120 degrees Celsius.
Apart from the boiling department
a drying department is also being
built. The repair shop, saw mill
and other buildings have already been
completed. The groundwork for the
construction of power station with
a capacity of $4,000 kilowatts has al
ready been finished. The equipment
for the station has already been or
dered.
The full productivity capacity of
the celluloid factory will be about 5O,-
900 tons. This amount will be able
fully to meet the demands of the pa
per industry of the northwestern dis
trict and it will then be unnecessary
to import celluloid from abroad. The
paper mills which will be built next
year near the celluloid factory will
produce $4,000 tons of newspaper
daily.

HENRY FORD instigated the at
~ tacks on the Jews in the Dear
born Independent according to an ar
ticle written for "The American
Hebrew" by E. G. Pipp, of Detroit,
Ford's first editor. Of course this
is not news. But in view of the
reams of rubbish that have been pub
lished about Ford's innocence of the
anti-Semite campaign it has the
merit of being convincingly authori-
tative. People are apt to wonder
why such clever fellow as Ford
should indulge in such costly fulfil
ity but those who have witnessed
prosperous business men and stately
matrons, trying to climb bare walls
on Sunday in a pentacostal orgy,
would not be surprised at the mild
exhibition of lunacy given by Ford
for the past few years.

WHEN Barnum hit on the bright
idea that at least one sucker was
ushered into this world with every
sixty ticks of the clock his fortune
was as good as made. Evidently
Harry Plum never heard of Barnum.
Else he has a rotten memory. Plum
is held in $4,000 bail for having
distracted the sum Of S1.5o from the
purse of Freda DUAL. The fake
baron who married fifty women and
got in the vicinity of one million dol
lars from them for his pains gets a
front page and his bail may not be
more prohibitive than that in which
the cheap paser Plum is held. 1t
does not always pay to tarry too
closely to the fringe of honesty.
