Dozen Codes in Use.
The widespread liking for contract

following facts. At the present time
there are something like a dozen dit
ferent codes in use in various loCali-
ties Some of these are followed by
only few players, but the one which
[ have been using is known in about
5000 clubs, extending from Canada
down into South America; more than
100 teachers whom I have trained are
giving instructions in it; it is also
more widely known to readers of
bridge articles than any other code
vet devised. Well known as this
code is, it must yield place to the of
fetal laws just issued, and it must
take the place as we'll of all other
codes, regardless of authorship or

concede to the general welfare of the

All thinking players viii welcome
the fact that the new code wisely ad-

merely an advanced feature of auction
bridge: only trained auction players
are competent to attempt the more
intricate bidding strategy that con-
tract demands. BY clearly maintain

game and its optional feature, play

all, Sinclair on
Trial for Craft
Soon for Oil Deal

WASHINGTON, Sept. q (F.Po.-
Trial of Albert Fall, former secretary
Of the interior, and Harry F. Sinclair,
oil magnate, on indictments charging
criminal conspiracy to defraud the
United States by the leasing of the
Teapot Dome naval oil reserve to Sin
clair, is scheduled to begin Oct. II in
the federal court in the capital.
In this trial the government coun.
sci should prove that Fall received
from Sinclair S230,50O in Liberty
bonds on May 3, 1922, as a bride for
Falls handing over the oil lands of
the government to Sinclair. Agents
of the government, under direction of
Special Counsel Roberts and Pome-
rene, traced down the source of the
bond coupons which mysteriously
reached Falls bank and were cred
tied to his account. They found that
Sinclair and other oil men had or
gained corporation in Canada for
the purpose of buying and re-selling
oil at profit, which profit was paid
to Fall through the medium Of Liberty
bonds. One of the officials of sub
sidiary company who fled to Europe
and then to Africa when this deal
was uncovered, has now been found
in Europe and served with a summons
to return and testify. This is H. M.
Blackmer.
The prosecution has called 78 wit
nesses. Among them is Harry Daugh-
erty, former attorney general, and
Theodore Roosevelt, former assistant
secretary of the navy, who had a
prominent part in the lease arrange
ments.

Negroes Hear Lau Tell
OF Chinese TOilers' War
Against All Exploiters

Speaking before a large and en-
thusiastic audience last Sunday at the
regular weekly Forum of the Phila-
delphia Council, American Negro La
Dor Congress, Mr.. P. T. Lau, Secre-
tary of the Hands-Off China Confer
ence, declared that the Chinese Revo-
luton would succeed despite the
treachery and dishonesty Of the cheap
military leaders of fractional groups
in China. eve have learned" said
the speaker, mot to rely on any one
leader; and we are developing lead
ers of the revolution from the ranks
of the working and peasant class"
Mr.. Lau's topic was "The Revolu-
ton in China and the Workers" He
gave an interesting introduction COW
ering the history of China in rela-
ton to foreign powers. 1t was point
ed out by the speaker that China has
civilization older than that of
Greece, Rome or Egypt. The tradi-
tional policy of China with reference
| to the exclusion of foreigners some
three thousand years was reviewed
by the speaker.
During the course of his address,
Mr.. Lau pointed out that the original
nationalist aim of the revolution has
developed into a working class move
ment with new slogans and new
ideals. Seeing that the nationalist
leaders were selling out to the i'm
perialists and to foreign interests, the
Chinese workers and peasants were
compelled to broaden their demands
for freedom so as to include not only
freedom from foreign exploiters, but
native exploiters as well. In other
words, the Chinese workers and peas
ants have had to face the fact which
other workers must face more and
more in all countries: the class strug-
gle as headed up in the opposing in
terests of employers and employees.
The discussion following Mr.. Lau's
address consisted, in the main, of an
analysis of the lessons to be drawn
from the experience of the Chinese
workers and peasants as applied to
the race problem in America. One
speaker after another pointed out
that the Negro should study the
Chinese situation so as to get lessons
for his own struggle against exploita-
ton and oppression in the United
States.

Bronx ILL., D, Branch
Wins Coveted Name,
'SaCCO-v anzGtti''

A Sacco-Vanzetti memorial was
created last week when the Bronx
English branch of the International
Labor Defense was. renamed "The
Sacco-Yanzetti Branch" The branch
has more than six hundred members
and is considered one of the most ac-
tive branches in the New York sec
ton.
This action was taken at a recent
meeting Of the LID, city center
committee meeting, at which Rose
Baron, secretary, reported on the ac-
Invites in New York City on behalf
of the two executed revolutionaries.
There was considerable friendly
rivalry between the various I. L. D.
branches for the coveted honor of
carrying the names of the two labor
martyrs. After some discussion it
was finally decided to honor the
Bronx branch. The announcement
was greeted with enthusiastic ap-
plause.
Rose Baron, commenting on the idea
of naming branches after Sacco and
Vanzetti, said, This is but one of
many ways in which we can keep the
names of Sacco and Vanzetti alive.
The capitalistic press acts as though
this outrageous murder had never
been committed. We must do every
thing we can to keep the names of
Sacco and Vanzetti alive for all time
as a rallying slogan for Labor.
There should be one LID. branch
in every city named after our
martyrs. The honor of carrying the
name Of our revolutionary dead
should go to the branch in each Sec
ton which is most active. The forces
that murdered Sacco and Vanzetti are
the forces that resist the work of the
international Labor Defense and
makes its existence a vital necessity

MiIliOnaires on
Republicans 1928 List

How completely Wall Street is
dominating political life in the United
States may be estimated roughly by
a review of the republican possibilities
for the 1928 candidacy. Even so re
dictionary a sheet as the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, is moved to point out
the dominance Of the financiers, tho
it attributes it falsely to the dying
out of political prejudice" rather
than to the wholesale occupation Of
the government by the American
capitalists.
How much more common million
aires are than they used to be says
the Ledger, and how the political
prejudice against them has died away
is indicated by the situation that will
confront the republican party in the
campaign for nominations to the
presidency in 1928. The five leading
possibilities are Lowden, Hoover,
Dawes, Longworth and Hughes. At
least of them are millionaires, and
it may be that the fifth is also a
millionaire.
With changing standards Of wealth
the millionaire in politics has come
to stay We have never had million
aire president. But we are going to
have one before another decade goes
by"
