RADIO TRUST OF
U, S, CONFERRINC
WITH EUROPE ANS
Exclusion of u. S. S. r.
Causing Trouble

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The In
ternational Radio Conference deleg-
ates, four hundred of them, sat
thru the speech of President Calvin
Coolidge in the opening session to-
day. Aside from the usual platit-
udes of welcome, and the advice to
the delegates to "settle all differ
ences by policy of candid discus
sion, generous Cancellation and wide
cooperation" Coolidge said nothing,
Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover came closer to the problems
confronting the delegates, in his
speech in which he pointed out that
the United States, without relin-
gushing its policy Of private mon
opoyl Of ether waves, would like
some kind of agreement with Euro
pean government controlled radio
broadcasters by which jamming the
air, and constant interference would
be reduced.
Question of U. S. S. K.
A political issue of some i'm
portance is being raised, in the ques-
ton of what shall be done with the
Soviet Union, which is not allowed to
participate in the conference, tho
Tsarist Russia was one of the origin
ators of the plan for such confer
ences.
Secretaries Kellogg and Hoover
agreed upon one thing, in preparing
for the init. Radio-Telegraph Con-
ference in Washington. They agreed
that the U. S. s. r. should be ex-
cluded. But now the Associated
Press has circulated report that
the German delegation will propose
that Germany be permitted to vote
the Soviet proxy in the meeting.
To Vote Proxy?
Under the rules of past confer
ences of the nations on radio-tele-
graph matters, a proxy system has
been legalized. If the German de-
legation, upon its arrival, shall be
found to carry the Russian proxy,
with instructions from the Berlin
government to use that proxy to
maintain the German strength in the
meeting, then the American delega-
ton will seek to defeat them on a
rollcall vote the grant of permission
to use the proxy.
Germany needs support because
her previous voting strength in the
conference was six votes-one for
Germany and five for her colonies.
If the other nations enforce the old
rule against her, she will lose the
five votes of her former colonies.
Possibly Great Britain, which now
has most of these colonies as mand-
ates, will demand further votes.
Japan and Italy are asking an in
crease in their votes because they
have acquired new colonies since
1912.

Sheriff's Followers
Failing to Railroad
Victim, Have Him Shot

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 5.-Law-
renee Lupo, local boxing promoter
and manager of prize fighters, today
was free, following his arrangement
on a charge of second degree muir
der
Lupo admitted that he shot and
killed Ralph H. Meyer, former
deputy sheriff, Aug. ~. He claimed.
however, that he fired in self defense,
after Meyer had knocked him down,
and Justice Of the Peace Stephen
Vamos, before whom Lupo was ar
raigned, said the evidence supported
this contention, and ordered Lupo re-
leased.
Several weeks after the killing
Lupo was mysteriously attacked and
seriously wounded by gunner, who
fired at him with shotguns. His face
is badly disfigured. County Prose
cutor Edward Stanton said he would
ask the county grand jury to investi-
gate the case further.

Pugh Sees Worse Slavery.
The American Federation of Labor
convention was asked today if its
policy of labor capitalism and collabo-
ration with the owners of industry
would lead to eventual labor control
or to worse slavery. This question
was thrown down to the convention
from the platform by Arthur Pugh,
fraternal delegate from Great Brit
ain.
But the federation delegates paid
little attention. After Pugh had fin
ished the convention buzzed as aim
lessly as before with jokes and con-
versation.
Pugh also excused the general
strike of 1926 as q non-revolutionary
weapon but said the Trade Disputes
Act had made the British unions more
revolutionary.
The Trade Disputes Act was forced
through Parliament by the repressive
Baldwin Tory government following
the British general strike. It's pur-
pose is to outlaw all sympathetic
strikes.
Pugh as we'll as Sherwood, Pugh's
fellow delegate from England, urged
"sane internationalism."
Pleading for disarmament, Sher-
wood turned then to express amaze
ment at the terrorism of the mine
owners against the striking coal min
ers in Pennsylvania. He told the con-
vention in the same breath that the
Communists had been written out of
the Labor Party in Britain.
Pugh, general secretary of the Brit
ish Iron and Steel Trades Federation,
was made chairman of the General
Council of the British Trade Union
Congress in 1925.

Both Of them were candidates for
president against the former pre-
sident, Alvara Obregon.
According to Mexican law no man
can serve two consecutive terms as
president of the republic, but one
can serve two terms or more pro-
vided they are not consecutive. 1t
was generally known that Gales car
ried out the policies established in
Mexico by Obregon. Now that Cal
les term is coming to "a close,
Oregon is again the candidate and
will unquestionably be elected. This
fact was known to the Wall street
gang and SO they put two of their
own henchmen, Serrano and Gomez
in the field, first as candidates for
president, but yesterdays events
prove that this was only a gesture
as these men used their candidacy
merely to try to prepare for a violent
attack upon and overthrow of the
Gales government in the interest of
the oil kings and their clerical
lackeys Of the Roman catholic priest
hood. The revolt was clear evidence
of the fact that it's leaders knew they
could never hope to win the pre-
sidency in an election. 1t was an
act of despair, but its leaders never
expected to meet such a singing de.

Gomez and Serrano reckoned with

carefully laid plans to cause insur

trivial response.

The Gales government is being
congratulated by the country today
for the decisive manner in which i

and the defenders of the catholic

spiracy are dispersed and silent.

Cathedrals Now Mu-
seums and Libraries

The members of the tour to Soviet
Russia organized by World Tourists,
Inc, of SO Fifth Ave, New York
sailing October IA via the Cunard
liner "Carinania"-will have full
program of activities in Leningrad
and Moscow; especially in the latter
city, where the most impressive cere-
monies of the celebrations of the
tenth anniversary of the Russian Rev
olution will take place in the Red
Square. In accordance with the plans
made for their reception by the U. S.
S. R. Society for Cultural Relations,
the participants in the tour will not
only devote their time to the celebra-
tons, but also visit the theatres, art
galleries, museums, and especially the
many examples of ancient architec-
ture for which Russia is famous.
Among these latter. the most prom
inent is the old Cathedral of ST.
Basil" now turned by the Soviet au-
thorities into museum. This former
Vastly Blashenny Cathedral" is at
the southern end of Red Square, near
the Kremlin. 1t is one of the most
marvellous monuments of ancient Rus
sian architecture.
Now Museum.
1t was built by the master-builders
Barma and Postnik in the years 1854
1860, during the reign of Ivan the
Terrible, in commemoration of the
conquest of Kazan.
The impressive minarets and tower
ing spires of this cathedral which have
housed innumerable scenes of religious
frenzy and protestations of mass sub
missiveness, now adorE a museum, the
cathedral having been converted to
that artistic use when the Soviets
gained the ascendancy. In some of
the rooms of the museum, arranged
since the revolution, are exhibited
plans, designs and manuscripts con-
nected with the building and the his
tory of the cathedral.
Visits to numerous such museums
which in tsarist days were citadels of
the ruling class are on the list of
activities OF the World Tourist party.
Inquiry establishes the news that
there are still some vacancies for
reservations, but those who still in
tend to join the group must apply
immediately. for registration closes in
a few days.

Roxy Theatre.
Urge Workers To Attend.
In an appeal to the workers of the
city and vicinity issued several days
ago, urging them to build their press
by attending the Bazaar, the District
office of the Workers (Communist)
Party declared: "The main response
bility for the success of the Bazaar
now falls upon the comrades of our
district, who will have to shoulder the
many tasks and duties which are nee
essary in order to carry thru the
plans Of the Bazaar Committee.
Anticipate Success.
That the Forthcoming affair will be
a huge success is indicated by the
fact that all previous events for the
support of The DAILY WORKER
and The FREIHEIT has called forth
thousands of workers of the city. At
the Freiheit Jubilee held last Feb
ruary at the Garden, nearly $4,000
workers paid admissions ranging
from fifty cents to two dollars to at
tend and cheer the achievements of
the fighting organ of the Jewish
proletariat.
Hundreds of Articles.
During the coming four days ar
ticles CT every kind and description
will be sold at amazingly low prices,
it is announced. Mems and women's

dos, household furniture, books, pic
lures, and hundreds of other articles
will be available at the booths which

tors to crack as far as picketing is
concerned. All the combined efforts
of deputy sheriffs, troops and Coal
and Iron police have been powerless
to break the picket line and keep the
scabs in camp.S The Coverdale scab
turnover has been immense-between
the middle of April and the end of
July, with an average working force
of not much over 400 scabs on the
job, between 1000 and 5000 scabs
have flowed in and out of town, at an
enormous expense to the company.
Deluded Workers Awaken.
Sometimes, the miners say, a
couple of hundred men have marched
out at one time-of their own will
not the professional scab element, of
course,-but workers, white and
Negro, shipped in by employment
agencies that lied to them about the
nature of the jobs they were to take.
Many of these men have been held as
prisoners in the scab barracks when
they discovered their mistake and
tried to get out of the camp, and many
have escaped only at the price of
leaving behind all the little they pos
sessed, and, often, of being terribly
beaten up by the Coal and Iron police.
Coyerdale is the camp where the
Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Company
ripped the roofs off the houses of
some of the locked out miners after
its attempts to evict them had failed.
But that could not get them out,
either. John Usnick, miner with a
wife and four children, told us how
the Coal and Iron police came and
tore the roof off his house in the
night. His wife's arm still hangs
useless from the injury she suffered
when some of the wreckage hit her
IS she lay sick in bed. On stormy
nights, Usnick said, the loose boards
of the temporary roof bang up and
down in the wind, and often he would
awake soaked through to the skin by
the rain.
More Gunmen Ordered.
Within the next few days many
more Coal and Iron Police will in all
probability be rushed in to Coverdale
