ADAMS WRITES
OF F FOREIGN
LA N D s; OIL

Dave Adams member of the Co
chise county board of supervisors
has received another of the interest
ing foreign letters from his son Lee
Adams
The younger Adams is well known
throughout this part of the country
having lived here all of his life and
having attended the University OF
Arizona.
During the past three years Lee
Adams has been travelling and eXper-
fencing adventure that would be fit
for a Burton dimes picture.
He has made three trips to Asiatic
countries with various oil companies
as an oil driller and has also been
in the Texas fields.
At the present time young Adams
writes from Beyrmouth, Ceria. The
letter follows:
Beyrouth, Ceria,
August 9, 1927.
Dear Father and family;
1 am on sick leave for 81 days.
The company has sent me and an
other convelaScent up here in the
Lebin mountains. Four hours by auto
brings you north of Palestine and the
sea of GaliIee We are only 35 minutes
from the city of Beyrouth by auto
which is a seaport on the Mediterran-
ean We are about four thousand feet
above sea level and it is nice and
cool. 4r
There are thousands of nice hotels
and crowds of people of all ma
tionalitieS spending their summer
months up here. They come from
Africa, Potamia, Arabia and God
knows where but they are here just
the same. We have crossed the
Syrian desert from Bagdad. Twen-
ty four hours by auto and very
tiresome drive at that. Then twelve
hours by train to Kirkeek up the
TigreS river in Araq.
1 was unfortunate enough to get
heat stroke along with sand flea
fever and had a temperature OF
1O6 for hours. I am feeling very
fit just now and one try at the
fever usually in1munes one from
any other trouble. So I am here
for about two and a half years
more.
The Syrian people are a white
race and very hoSpitable in their
way, though much different from
our race. The Assyrians are a
darker race and farther to the
north between here and Constan-
tinople, Turkey. Where we are To-
Gated the people are Kurdish and
rather black. More of a reddish In
dian color. The Arabs are also
plentiful Plenty of NhoammedanS,
Greeks, Turks and what nots.
I like the job very much and
am now drilling foreman for the
Turkish Petroleum Co., which is
composed of all the major compan-
les of the world, Standard, Shell,
Union and many other American
as well as English and French.
They pay six hundred dollars a
month and expenses. That isn't
picked up every day in the U. S.
A.
We have some oil all ready in
two wells one at 900 feet, 100 bar
rels every "a hours. The other $50
miles south at 129 feet, 5000 bar
rels and many drilling in between.
When all are proven it will be by
far the largest oil field in the
world.
This country is known as the
cradle of the human race. The
tombs of many bible characters are
throughout the country. The his
tory is very interesting.
Hoping all are well I remain,
Sincerely your son,

CHINESE BOYCOTT

Revolt" Says Pravda
Especial Cable TO The
DAILY WORKER)

SHANGHAI, Sept. 19.-The trade
unions of Swatow, Canton, and Hong
kong have declared a boycott against
British ships as a protest against
the dispatch of British military au-
thorities to Hongkong of a punitive
expedition against Bias Bay in south
Kwantung province. The British in
vasion was cdmouflaged as a cam
paign against banditism, but the
workers see it as another exercise of
Imperialism. Britain could use Bias
Bay.
Chinese lockers refuse to unload
or load British steamers. The Boy
colt committee approached the
Shanghai right wing trade union
commission requesting help. How
ever, this application was not favor
ably received at the headquarters of
the commission.

The plight of the legionnaires was
the result of the former evenings de-
bauch in the cafes of Montmartre
when the overwhelming silent sup
preston to which the legion has been
submitted by the French workers
broke forth in violent orgy of
champaign and absinthe drinking and
black bottom dancing during which
hundreds of the veteran boulevard
shock troops" paraded thru the
streets with flimsily-clad "filles" on
their shoulders. Shouting rather than
singing obscene songs, in which the
immortal strains of "Hinky- Dinky
Farley Woo" predominated, the rock
ing parade of wild-eyed women and
drunken men reeled down the steep
streets that lead from this thieves
and prostitutes quarter into the capi-
tai Of France, while the dogs barked-
thru the quarter and far out of Paris
into the suburbs.
French Workers Disguised.
1t was a great night for the
"nymphes des paves" and fulfilled the
widest predictions of Paris "plea-
sures" which the officers have been
spreading among the men in an eff
fort to offset the depression occa-
stoned by the boycott of the French
workers. But the disgust of the
Paris workers for the exhibition
which they beheld thruout the night
and the early morning found vent to-
day in the cold contemptuous silence
which the huge masses Of workers
preserved towards the parade of the
thru the heart of Paris.
The debauch was continued when
the still staggering legionnaires had
been herded into the hall of the
Trocadero Palace where the seventh
annual convention of American Le-
gion opened After the formal
speeches in which Andre Tardieu,
dean of French reactionaries, and
present minister of public works, and
General Gouraud, mayor of Paris,
welcomed the legion to the French

Bosses Refuse to Grant
Wage Increase

Possibility of a strike by $4,000
longshoremen IN New York and other
North Atlantic ports seemed nearer
yesterday due to the refusal by the
Transatlantic Conference, the bosses
organization to give the workers
raise in wages.
The only thing standing in the way
of a strike on Sept. 80 is a change of
policy by the bosses who will hold
another meeting with union represen-
tatives at 1880 this morning.
At yesterdays meeting the bosses
refused to consider the workers de-
mands for more pay. The union asked
for an increase Of 10 cents an hour
for regular work and Is cents addi-
tional for overtime. This would bring
the wages of longshoremen up to 80
cents an hour for regular time and
$1.35 for overtime. The ship operators
refused and proposed that the new

u, S. PROSECUTION
or STONECUTTERS
is STARTED HERE
Government Is Asking
for an Injunction

The governments case against the
Journeymen Stonecutters' Association
of America was resumed in federal
court here yesterday before Judge
Grubber.
The case was postponed about a
month ago because of the illness of
federal Judge Jacob Trieber of Ar
kansas, who was hearing the case. A
few days ago Judge Trieber sue
cumbed to his illness and Judge Grubb
was yesterday assigned to preside at
the resumption of the trial.
Most of yesterday morning was
taken up by attornies for both sides
who reviewed the case for the benefit
of the new presiding judge.
The witnesses called by the gov
ernment were all employers, enemies
of the union. The first was Carl Dan
De Bogart, president of the Emory
Construction Company, of New
Haven, Conn. De Bogart testified
that in January, 1924, the journey
men called strike in his factory.
He said contracts were held up in
Orange, N, j., and also on the High
land Hall Apartment House in Rye,
N. Y.
The second government witness
was Louis A. Silco, president of the
Decorative Stone Company, of New
Haven. He testified that strikes be-
cause of the journeymen were also
called in his factory.
He testified that because of the
strike work was held up on the state
castings church in Yonkers.
Seek Injunction.
The government is seeking an in
junction restraining the journeymen's
association and other defendants
from interfering" with construction
work on various jobs in the metro
politan district.

Study German Loans Here.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (FP). =
Germany, whose loans from foreign
capital exceeded a billion dollars in
the past three years, is studied as the
only highly developed industrial ma
ton that has resorted to foreign bor-
rowing on a vast scale, in a new In
stitute of Economics book entitled
American Loans to Germany" In
the past, the author, Robert Kuczyn-
ski points out, such obligations have
been incurred only by developing
countries possessed of unexpected ma
tural resources.

Orgy Of Counter Revolution.

MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., Sept. 10
Pravda points out that the plenary
session of the Kuomintang at Nank-
ing is taking place under conditions
characterized by an outburst of an
orgy of counter revolutionary terror
directed against the Communists.
With the workers and peasants out
of the Kuomintang, that party itself,
as an organization of anti-imperial-
istic forces has disappeared. Hence
forth the masses will know that the
struggle for all vital interests Of the
Chinese people can not be intrusted
to either Marking or Wuhan, separ-
ately or united, but can be trusted
only to the masses themselves under
the hegemony of the proletariat.
Workers Must Lead.
However, this slogan for the strug-
gle, which is recognized by the
masses is still insufficiently recog-
nized by certain radical clements who
have refused to follow the Wuhan-
Marking counter revolution and have
sided with the workers and peasants.
Thus Eugene Chen's political state
ment recently made in Moscow
passes by with silence the funda-
mental lessons of all revolutions of
the last ten years, including the les
son of the Chinese revolution itself,
namely the idea which has been
squarely put forth of the leading role
of the working class in revolution.
The blow dealt in Wuhan and
Marking against the revolution has
not killed it, but has left it alive, and
still advancing. It's development
must be assisted by energetic propa-
ganda, for the practical realization
of the idea Of the proletariat's hege-
mony.

French Workers to Demonstrate.
lean Legionnaires.

While the Legionnaires, enraged to
the point of insults and fist-fighting
by the boycott of contempt with
which the French workers have isolat-
ed the so-called veterans" despite
the official efforts of the government
to fete the armed American tourists,
are being restrained from open hos
tility by their officers and those of
tneir comrades who have retained
sobriety, the masses of Paris under
the leadership of their fighting daily,
L'Humanite, are planning a huge
mass meeting and procession today to
protest against the insult to the
French workers and their war dead
which is implied in the arrival of the
American fascists on French soil.
The meeting which will be held at
Clichy in the Gordon rouge, the belt
of Communist workers suburbs that
encircles Paris on all sides, is ex-
pected to bring thousands of enraged
workers to the immense gathering.
While thousands of the uniformed
sightseers, who have recovered from
their first wild imaginings of the vio-
lent reprisals which they feared the
French workers might be justified in
taking against them owing to the
Legion's support of the murder of
Sacco and Vanzetti, are strutting and
lolling along the boulevards or are
seen around and under the tables in
the dirty suspicious little cafe dives
of the Montmartre section, the French
and American militarists were patting
one another's backs at the official
Legion dinner where the rank and file
of the Legionnaires were neither in
vited nor wanted.
After long harangue by Premier
Poincare, who steered the French i'm
perialists thru the war of 1914, the
American generals, Pershing and
Savage, commander of the Legion,
addressed the table of $50 French and
American functionaries who were

Which were conspicuous.

With biting irony whetted to fine
bitterness by the Indignation of the
