SENIORCOUPE
NOW
New Dodge Line Wei
coined by u. S. -uy-
ing Public

A Dodge Brothers Senior coupe for
four passengers is introduced today
by Jesse bennett, local Dodge Broth
ers dealed. This fine six cylinder car
is the third car to be incorporated in
the c~ompany's new line of skies and
is the embodiment Of outward smart
ness and inward comfort.
The same handling Of horizontal
lines that gives distinction to the
company's Senior sedan and cabriolet
roadster applies also to this coupe
long, slipping hood, unbroken stripping
from front to rear, long windows,
deep body panels and lew top strue-
ture with short, hooded visor.
The extra length of the body gives
an impression of the roominess for
which the designers strived. With
this as a basis, both luxury and rid
ing ease were made simple. The
drivers seat is unusually wide and
the fourth passenger has practically
the same leg room as the driver, still
leaving generous room for the rear
seat passengers behind the extra seat.
This coupe sets the same high per-
Torrance standards as Dodge Broth
ers Senior sedan and cabriolet road
ster-70 honest miles per hour with
ease, snappy acceleration in traffic
and reserve power that makes driving
a pleasure.
Dodge Brothers have demonstrated
in this car that they are fully abreast
Of the trend toward striking color eff
fects in motor car bodies by provid-
ing an unusually wide variety from
which to choose. These run the ga
NUT from the conservative combina-
tions for the business man TO the
ultra modern for milady's pleasure.
One Of the most attractive bodies,
in the opinion Of Mr.. bennett, Of
local agency, is done in greens,
striped with gold. Another combina-
ton that Is most effective, says Mr..
bennett, is two striking blues striped
with cream. With each body color
combination an appropriate shade Of
fine b%roadcloth is used to upkolster
the cushions and seat backs. making
the decorative scheme harmonious
throughout.
The body construction is note
worthy. especially the sound deader-
ing features, which include thick felt
padding in door and body panels,
beaded cushioning strips be:weenw
Tenders and body and thick felt pads
between body stills and frame.

Desperate Policy of Ex-

Especial to The Daily Worker)
TAMPA, Florida, Jan. l16. The
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor meeting at ST.
Petersburg considered the report of
a committee headed by Mathew WoII
that investigated New York needle
trades unions, said President William
Green, and that Shocking conditions"
were found to exist.
With special reference to the New
York Furriers' Union, which under
left wing leadership won a strike re-
Gently, Green declared that the men,
bers of the union were mostly for
eigners" and susceptible to teachings
of destructive nature" He claim
ed the committee has conclusive
proof that Moscow directed the recent
strike of that organization"
For Expulsion.
The decision of the council, he an
nounced, was to expel every known
Communist who held Office or had any
influence from the ranks of the A. F..
of L.
1t is significant that these revela-
tions were made at meeting in
Tampa at the City Auditorium follow
ing an afternoon tour of the city as
guests of the Board of Trade, which
later in the day banqueted the mem
bers of the council. On the same plat
form at the auditorium were promi-
nent business and commercial men Of
the city. Mr.. Green was preceded by
Under Secretary Grew, of the state
department, who explained the func-
tions of the U. S. diplomatic service
and the important relation this service
bears ito our commercial and indus
trial interests abroad
More Harmony.
Mr.. Green pointed to the presence
of members of the board of trade on
the platform as evidence of the
harmony existing between capital
and labor in Tampa and elsewhere"
Mr.. Green told the several hundred
persons in the audience that labor, in
the early days, had been misunder-
stood and assured the bosses that the
A. F. of L. could be relied upon for
"amicable cooperation" All struggle
between capital and labor, he said,
could be ended "by frank, honest un-
derstanding and truthfulness." This
goal, he said, has practically been
reached.
"Patriotic Service"
He dwelt at length on the patriotic
services the unions gave during the
war and ended by urging the workers
of Tampa to give "a big measure Of
labor" to their employers and to boost
for their beautiful city"

adjunct; that the people of the
rest of Central America, as do
the Nicaraguans, resent the
presence of the U. S. naval force
and the occupation of Nicara-
guam view of these things,
coupled with the fact that Kel-
logg has expressed his deter
mination to sustain the Diaz re-
gime at all cost-this offer of
the administration presents it
self as a mere diplomatic ruse
to sopify the bulk of opposition
growing against the Latin
American invasion.
Mexican "PIan."
Along with this maneuver, another
is brot into use in the case Of Mex
leo. Secretary Kellogg has told the
press that the cases of American
property brot into question under the
Mexican oil and land laws can be re-
ferred to the Mixed Claims Commits
sion under Obregon in 1928 and that
resulted in American recognition of
his regime. The principal American
member is Charles Beecher Warren,
of Detroit, who is now in Washington
consulting with Kellogg.
The claims commission was set up
for the purpose Of passing upon in
IDENTITIES to be paid to American
owners who claimed losses as the re-
suit of the Constitution of 1917.
Since the point upon which the ad-
ministration has been concentrating
in its diplomatic war with Mexico is
the whole question Of "confiscation"
that Kellogg declares is involved in
the oil and land laws based ON the
constitution of 1917. the claims com
mission can be OF little neip In pre-.
venting clash.
1t is generally agreed that with
the Coolidge administration demand
ing from Mexico concessions that can
only be made by the rewriting of that
country's constitution and complete
freedom" and ownership of acquired
properties by American concerns, that
1 the claims commissions ability to
lmeliorate the relations between the
wo countries is very small.
But it is noted here that Kellogg
merely secuted the possibility of the
claims commissions help in this
case. No change has been made in
the demands formulated in Coolidge's
message to congress. Mention of the
claims commission, like the Nicara-
guam peace plan" is calculated sole
ly to stem the tide of opposition to
The administration while Kellogg fol-
lows the path marked out in the be-
ginning-the forcing of Mexico to her
knees and the retention of Diaz in
Nicaragua.

Diaz, Wall Street tool in Nicaragua,
announces he is making peace over
lures" to the liberal rebels under Dr,
Juan B. Sacasa. Saying that the inter.
vention OF the United States by send
ing armed forces to Nicaragua has
spared the country "the horrors Of
Bolshevism," Diaz is attempting to
split the liberal cause by Offering
responsible posts" to adherents Of the
liberal cause.
The so-called peace plea that Diaz
offers is a fraud. With the U. S.
armed forces now in the country prac-
tically controlling every square mile

blockade sitting the once successful
military campaign of the liberals, Diaz
wishes TO offer peace, with the United
