Fight on Floor Of Pan-AmeriCan
 Meeting Today

Washington, July 2l Rl-Expres- sions of good will from President Machado, of Cuba, precipitated a fight on the floor of the Pan Ameri- can Labor congress, today when Ri- cardo A.

Martinez had said there were strong accepted that President Machado would take advantage of 1t and pose as a protector of the working class es."
 Matthew Woll, an American Fed eration of Labor delegate, said that ing and its inclusion in the record would in no way commit the con- gross to defense of Machado. "To the contrary" he told the del egates, 'it commits the president of Cuba to recognition of the Pan American Federation of Labor as the only legitimate labor movement in Latin America"
 Meanwhile the congress expects before nightfall to receive from it's resolutions committee the draft of a proposal designed to set forth the organizations attitude regarding the recent clash in Nicaragua between American marines and forces com- manded by General Sandino.

 When the resolution originally was presented several heated speech es were made, one Nicaraguan dele gate declaring that the United States would be forced to fight every Nicar- Faguan as a result of the battle in which Sandino's forces lost heavily.

 Makes Neat Address-Is Given Medal

Upon leaving Governor Trumbulls office, Lindbergh was nearly the vic tim of two young girls who attempt ed to kiss him. Police, however, stopped the girls just as they had reached the colonel and with arms outstretched were starting to place them about his neck. With tears in their eyes they were pushed aside crying, "Oh Lindy, Lindy."
 Lindbergh is to fly over Spring field. Mass, today en route to Rhode Island. He is scheduled to land at Quonsett Point, IS miles from Prov idence, where he will be met by of ficials of the city and escorted to the Rhode Island capitol. Poor visi- bility today is not expected to delay his flight. Dense clouds which hung over the city early this morning were breaking away about noon. Ac- cording to his plan, Lindbergh will consume a little more than one hour in his flight to Rhode Island. The distance from Hartford 10 Provi- dence is 72 miles by road. In circling Springfield. however, Lindbergh will go about 15 minutes out of his way.
 I.indbergh visited Pratt Whitney Airplane Works. manufacturers of wasp planes, and then went to the hangar where his plane was housed overnight.
 It was announced he would be un- able to accept an invitation to fly over Worcester. Mass, but would pass over Pawtucket and Woon- socket, R. I.

 Even should Coolidge be renomi- mated, which Senator Walsh be- lieves improbable. the Montana senator believes he will be defeated.
 Senator Walsh said he had no doubt that Senator La Toilette would again introduce his third term resolution which failed of ac- tion by the late congress.

A MISTAKE

NOW-not six, eight or nine months from now
the Governments resources and man-power' should
be fighting Mississippi floods of the future. What
assurance has any one responsible for protection
of citizens, that there will be no flood next spring
even more destructive than that which has just
passed?
If we wait for flood relief in the regular session
OF Congress which does not convene until Decem-
Der, when will actual effective work begin? And
can it be completed in time to assure absolute pro-
lection?
Politics what not-we think serious mistake
has been made in not calling Congress into imme-
date session-with flood relief the lone Job on
the calendar.
This very week Congress should be hearing Mis-
sissippi valley interests engineers farmers bank
er and experts of all kind-devising legislation
for immediate relief. Had such action been tax
en- there would have now been available large
funds to reconstruct buildings, roads and schools;
funds to replace lost animals and farm equipment
and to plant short crops yet this year
Even yet-if politics can be forgotten for few
moments-the government can find no work to
impOrtant-or to which it is more obligated-than
getting busy on Mississippi relief
If an invading army devastated 100000 Ameri-
can hOmes-and MIGHT return again next spring
do you think the people would let the govern
ment sleep? That's what the Mississippi water
was doing less than month ago.

man explains, "the rate structure is
not being fixed by the carriers but
by the various trade associations
the cement associations, the lumber
mans association, agricultural imple-
ment association, packers associa-
ton, etc. 1t is well known in rail
road circles that whenever a meet
ing is held on the subject of advanc-
ing any given rate the interested
shippers hear of such efforts within
an hour and will, by the promise of
a substantial volume of business,
prevail on some carrier to withdraw
from the request for rate advance" +"
Lisman thinks that if owners in
stead of traffic managers were oper-
ating the railroads steps to improve
these conditions of the northwestern
carriers would have been taken long
ago. He continues:
Ownership of the railroads is
scattered and the stockholders, as a
rule, are not assertive. Too many
railroad directors are quasi self
perpetuating and the directors are
too often selected by the officials
rather than by the inarticulate stock
holders"
This condition is of Importance to
railroad labor because the unprofit-
able operation of carriers in the
northwest is leading argument
against higher wages. The defeat of
the western conductors and trainmen
In the recent arbitration is a case in
point.

Capitalist industrialism with the
accompanying profiteering in land
values is forcing the U. S. depart
ment of labor's survey of residential
construction shows.
"In 1921" says the department.
Accommodations were provided by
new apartment houses for only "a per
cent of all the families provided for
during that year, whereas in 1926 the
proportion provided for in apartments
had risen to As per cent. During the
same period the provision Of SINGLE
residences dropped from So per cent
OF the total to 40 per cent and the
proportion of 2-family dwellings also
declined. AT present, therefore, it ap-
pears that almost one-half of the new
housing Accommodations being con-
structed are in the form of apart
ments and that the proportion has
been steadily increasing during recent
years."
The department reports wide varia-
ton In the proportion of apartment
house construction to the total. At
one extreme are such cities as Dav-
export, Ia, Hamilton, O., Lexington,
KY, Richmond, Ind, Saginaw, Mich,
and Shreveport, La, with 100 per
cent sinbgle-family construction.
At the othtr extreme is Union CITY.
N. j., with only 0.3 per cent of it's

dwellings and 1913 per cent in multi
family apartments. Other cities with
a small per cent of new 1926 housing
in single-family units and a large
per cent in apartments are Bayonne,
n. j., Cambridge, Mass, East Cleve-
land, O., Hartford, Conn.,, Jersey City.
Mount Vernon, ~ Y, and New York
City.
The department suggests that the
percentage of families in apartments
is higher in the largest cities or in
nearby towns. But the figures also
show a high percentage of apartment
construction in smaller cities like
Lawrence, Mass, Passaic, N. J.. and
POughkeepsie, N. Y, which are low
wage centers. In these predominant
ly industrial towns the percentage of
2-famlly hOusese is also considerable.
In nearly all the 252 cities covered
by the report the trend of apartment
construction is up and of single-fam-
lily dwellings down. The department
holds that this change means a de-
crease in home ownership. But it
means also a shift in the nature of
the construction work with fewer
carpenters employed and more struc-
tural iron, concrete, sheetmetal. tile
and other accessory trades. The
larger scale of the work also opens
the way for a factory relationship
between management and men.

COOLIDGE FISHES FOR FARMERS
VOTES

Cal Coolidge, big business representative In the
presidents chair, is trying out the gullibiity OF
the northwest farmer
He has moved out to the Black Hills and is
inviting farm delegation with which to confer
and discuss the farm problem. 1t has been an
nOunced through the press that he is greatly in
terested in the welfare of the farmer and SYM
pathizes with him.
Coolidge made short work of the McNary-Haug
en- bill in spite of the almost unanimous appeal of
the farmers of this region for relief. The presi-
dent evidently feels, by coming out there in the
west and soft-soaping a few of the farm leaders
he can win the farmers vote.
Republican leaders realize the disadvantage un-
der which Coolidge is laboring and are employ
ing divers subterfuges to establish friendly spr-
it towards him by the bankrupt farmers of the
northwest. In this work the newspapers are do
ing their share in featuring the president as a
fisherman and publishing silly stories about his
daily routine. From the amount of space given
the subject the question of flies or worms for
bait is vital matter of state.
After all its not the kind of bait that Coolidge
may use for fish; its the kind he's using to catch
the fool farmer, for only this class will bit-St.

Marshall quotes The New States
man as saying that the lords would
become rulers of England whose
powers in the future could be modi-
fled only by steel and bullets"
The house of lords is today very
different body from the decaying
feudal aristocracy which the new
merchant house of commons gradual
Iy reduced to impotence. Today it is
filled with England's greatest capi-
talists, bankers, shipping magnates,
coal owners, etc. The house of com
mons on the other hand is increas-
ingly representative of labor and the
professional classes, with a more or
less socialist outlook.
The proposal is really aimed at
labor. Marshall quotes the Marquise
of Salisbury as saying that all that
was desired was to protect the con-
sidered judgment Of the people and
to see that their power was not
abused by a temporary wave which
might put the Labor party in office
Here is the natural answer of the
great capitalists to the growing op-
position aroused by their anti-trade
union legislation. If they succeed,
which does not seem probable, they
will demonstrate to labor the futility
Of change by political means.

Will the reactionary government of
England succeed in establishing the
first hereditary capitalist oligarchy?
This question agitates England righ
on the heels of the antiunion "black-
leg charter" The tories seem bent
on carrying thru a bloodless revolu-
ton to block labor's rise to political
power.
The government proposes to
change the house of lords-not to
further curtail its importance follow
ing a century of precedent, but to
give it more power. According to
the lord chancellor, the government
aims to increase the lords power of
opposition to the will of the house of
commons, to limit its numbers to pre-
vent the creation of new peers for
political purposes and to retain the
hereditary principle with modifica-
tions.
"The effect of the bill embodying
such proposals." says Ernest Mar
shall, London correspondent of the
New York Times, "would. be to con-
fer upon the house of lords the sole
right to determine whether or not it
desired to be reformed, and to estab-
lish the principle of heritary legis-
lative powers so securely that only
a first class revolution could upset it. :"

Britain S Coal Trade Reveals
World Slump

Coal, the basis of modern indus
trial civilization is becoming a baro-
meter forecasting the increasing
storms which will mark the decay of
capitalism. The intensity of the con-
fllct between the great capitalist
powers seeking an outlet for their
surplus production is revealed in n
Y. 5. department of commerce bull
letln on the world coal trade with
special reference to Europe.
World production of coal in. 1925
and 1926, according to the bulletin,
ran only slightly above prewar. In
1925 it was 1861, 100000 tons and IN
1926, 1,355, 100000 tons. Compared
with 1,342,0OO,0O0 tons in 1913. But
charges III production and export
centers, and espically in consuming
areas, arc noteworthy.
The British share of wo,ld produc-
tlon has declined from 21.4 per cent in
1913 to 1S per cent in 1925. The 1926
flgures are not comparable because
OF the effect of the 7-month coal
strike. The United States produced
38.5 per cent in 1918, SO per cent in
1879 and 44.4 per cent in 1926. Ger
many, France, Poland, Japan and
China are also among the countries
with a slightly greater per cent of
world coal production in 1926 than
iii 1913.
The coal trade has been important
to England not only in itself but also
because it provided outgoing cargo
making possible lower shipping rates
on goods brought from other coun-
tries In British vessels. England is
now fighting with its back to the wall

Wants Dictator For Northwest
Railroads

The dilemma of private railroad
operation with the separate carriers
competing for traffic again comes to
the fore in a discussion of the rate
situation in the northwest by F. J.
Lisman, New York dealer in railroad
securities. Lisman suggests that
only czar dealing with the problem
as whole can help the roads in the
northwest to the abundant prosperity
enjoyed by railroads in other re-
giOns.
while the bankruptcy of the St..
Paul may be due to variety of rea-
sons,, says Lisman, "the low rate
structure of the northwest was un-
questionably the largest factor. Rail
roads all over the country are doing
better than they did almost at any
previous period, except the roads of
the northwest"
Lisman points out that an advance
in rates on agricultural products is
probably out of the question. He
charges, however, that the north
western railroad companies have
been far from doing all they could
toward getting the maximum earn
ings out Of the business handled and
that there are many commodities
moving to the northwest at abnor-
mally low rates. The commission
has repeatedly suggested a revision
of these rates but under individualist
private management the railroad Off
.cials don't dare.
"On the bulk of commodities, Lis
