TWO ECLIPSES,
COMET TO BE
VISIBLE SOON
Total Eclipse Of Moon June
Is to BE Visible Through
out This Country

Chicago. June s.--OP)-June prom
Uses to be Roman holiday for those
automatically inclined.
Two eclpses will come this month,
total eclipse of the moon on the
18th which will be visible through
out the United States, and a total
eclipse Of the sun which will be
seen in parts Of Europe and Asia. A
third event Of astronomical interest
will be the close approach of Pons-
Winnecke's comet on the 2lst.
Eclipse Is June Is
The lunar eclipse will begin at
12:43 Il. m, CENTRAL standard time,
June Is. A dark notch will appear
on the east limb of the moon, grad
ually overspreading it until the
eclipse becomes total ut 2:l4 a. m.
Totally ends at 2:35, and at 4:OG a..
M, the moon will be entirely out OF
the shadow.
"Those who catch the eclipse may
be surprised that the moon is still
plainly visible" said Robert II. Ba
ker, professor of astronomy ut the
University Of Illinois. "Since it
shines only by reflected sunlight it
might reasonably be expected to
disappear in the shadow. But much
sunlight filters through our Amos
phere around the edges of the
shadow; it is then refracted into the
shadow and Eliminates the moon"
Shadow to Touch Earth
ION June 20. two weeks after its
emergence from the earth's shadow
the moon will have completed half
its circuit and will pass between US
and the sun. Its shadow touches the
earth ut sunrise west Of the British
Isles, moves eastward across Eng
land and Norway, skirts northern
Asia and leaves the earth at sunset
off the Alaskan coast. Precisely two
hours will 'elapse between arrival and
departure.
Only the tip Of the moons
shadow cone brushes the earth. The
diameter of the shade on the ground
will not exceed 20 miles so that no
where along the narrow track, Of this
scurrying dot will the totak eclipse
OF the sun last more than So seconds.
Pons-Winnecke' comet has again
come within reach of the telescope
after an absence of six years. At
the best it has been faint, tailIess
object. 1t is of interest at present
because on June 81. it will pass US
ut the distance Of only three and a
half million miles. Rarely does a
heavenly body except the moon be-
come as neighborly as this"

American Legation
to Remain at Picking

PekiAg, June S.-{P)-1t is most
improbable that the American lega-
ton and American residents gener-
ally will evacuate Picking in the
near future according to the most
authoritative indications. It is also
unlikely that the legation guard will
be strengthened, Brig. General
Smedley D. Butler holding the entire
force of 1900 marines recently
landed at Tientsin at that port in
readiness to cope with any unfore-
seen emergency.
The general military situation be-
tween the north and south has again
reached 4 stalemate and anything
in the nature of real warfare has
been replaced by series of obscure
moves on the Chinese political chess
board which are too complicated to
be followed closely.
Close observers of the situation
believe that Marshal Chang Tso-Lin,
Manchurian war lord who has been
in negotiations with General Chang
kai-Shek, the moderate nationalist
with view to COM
bining and making peace, will remain,
in Picking for at least several weeks.
The observers also believe that

The meeting was intended as pro-
test against the governments treat

years has been deprived of the right

The demonstration was proceeding
in an orderly manner when the armed
police charged with drawn sabres and

one straggler was hewn down and his
condition is critical. Thirty others
were arrested.

Old Nest of the Russian Nobility

FROM the old army Il served on the
Roumanian 'front.' l returned
home at the end of 1917 At that
time the landlords of our district were
still comfortably situated in their
nests without expecting that some
thing terrible was going to happen to
them.
That was quite natural. The no
bility, feeling behind them the loyal
protection of the S. R. District Com
mittee, never feared that their pro-
perty rights would be infringed upon
by the peasants. They were the more
convinced of their security by the
fact that the peasantry were scared
remembering the reprisals meted out
by the Cossacks in neighboring dis
trict in 1905. That was also because
the peasants dared to capture the
land and destroy the palaces of the
nobility.
But the truth of the matter was
that the peasants were in different
mood to what the nobility expected.
With the coming of the spring,
voices were ever more frequently
raised in favor of the immediate dis
tribution, not only of the land but of
all agricultural implements. Peasant
gatherings were held in all villages
where resolutions were adopted and
sent to the district committee calling
for the immediate requisition of the
land and implements Of the nobility
and their distribution among the
peasants. However, the committee,
headed by SRs, declared at a general
meeting of the district in February,
1918, that the land and implements
cannot be distributed at the present
time. The committee announced that
the provisional government decided
to leave this question open for final
solution by the Constituent Assembly.
The committee advised all those as
sembled to go to their villages, make
lists of all the property and wait for
further instructions from the govern
ment. The peasants Of few of the
villages declared that they decided to
take land in the coming spring and
that they will not submit to the de-
cisions of the Volost Committee.
Under the influence of this declara-
ton of the representatives of several

Organizers at Work
To Bring Filipino
Workers Into Union

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30.-Several
organizers are at work among the
Filipino laborers on the Pacific Coast
for the Filipino Labor Union of
America, recently launched by Pablo
Manlapit, who has infused new life
into the Filipino workers here.
Headquarters of the organization
are at 100 South Broadway, Los An
geles. Pablo Manlapit is president,
Miss A. Negrete is secretary, and
Pedro c. de Vera, treasurer.
Filipino workers in this region
have been hard to organize owing par
ticularly to their scattered occupa-
tons. The majority of them are
working as farm hands and yard
boys, and also as cooks, janitors and
other domestic occupations. For the
most part they are miserably under
paid. At the present time, out of
some $500 Filipino workers, $500 are
unemployed.
Individual members of the Filipino
Labor Union of America are being
urged to join the All-America Anti
Inperialist League, of which Man
lapit is already member.

FasCistS Compel
Workers TO Take
Wages by Check

GENEVA, Nov. 30,-After having
cut their wages to the bone, Italy's
fascist rulers are now forcing the
Italian workers to take checks in
place of money. Two of the largest
industrial concerns, the Fiat Motor
Company and the Snia Viscosa Silk
Company, employing together about
10000 workers, are both paying
wages by check.
The danger of payroll holdups, and
the time saved in filling in checks
rather than making out pay en-
velopes, are the flimsy reasons with
which the fascists attempt to cloak
their designs. The real reasons for the
regulation are the efforts of the fas-
cist banks to absorb the workers. pay
and the desire of the bankers to re-
duce the currency IN circulation as
part of their plan of re-valuation.

Discover Oily Plot
To Kill Ambassador
Here From Turkey

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 80. =
Continued rumors Of a plot to assas-
sinate both the Turkish Ambassador
to America, Ahmed Mouktar Bey, and
Joseph C. Grew, American Ambassa-
dor to Turkey have resulted in a heavy
guard being thrown around them both.
There is no clear evidence as to
what groups are concerned, but it is
strongly suspected that the hackers
of the proposed killing are the clique
of Armenian and American politicians
who were to profit from the once pro-
posed American protectorate over the
Republic of Armenia" established in
the oil fields of what is now Turkey,
Soviet Armenia, and other Soviet re-
pablics and autonomous regions Of the
Caucasus.
1t is also suspected that American
oil and mining interests who were to
profit by concessions in the Republic
of Armenia" may be paying for the
act of violence that would bring the
Armenian question into U. S. Ameri-
can politics. The part Of Armenia
which Turkey took back when the
Republic of Armenia" collapsed, has
no oil in it, so there is nothing to lose
by antagonizing Turkey.

Soviet Production
Shows Big Increase

MOSCOW, Nov. 16 (By MaiD =
According to preliminary returns OF
the Central Statistical Board of U.
S. S. R., the Soviet industrial produc-
ton exceeded 10000 million roubles
in the past economic year 1926-27,
surprising by about 1920 the U. S.
S. R. industrial production in 1925-26.
Of the total, the RSFSR produced
more than $500 million roubles worth
in the year under review, which is
nearly 14f6 more than in 1925-26.
The number of working enterprises
rose from 1857 to 1854 during the
last economic year in U. S. S. R.
The individual per capita average
daily production has considerably in
creased, apart from the fact that the
total number of workers has grown,
while absenteeism diminished.

villages, many others also declared
that the land would have to be dis
tributed by force.
The villages represented by those
who declared that the land will be
distributed without waiting for the
government orders acted accordingly
and forwarded their demand that the
landlords evacuate.
Some Of them prince Hilkov,
Nevedomsky) evacuated. The noble
man, Arkhipov, declared that he
would submit only to the orders OF
the government but he was forced to
withdraw on the same night as his
house was burned down. Others ran
away without waiting for any such
eventualities.
The implements were soon all dis
tributed among the peasants and so
was the land The efforts of the
Volost Committee to stop the pea
SAINTS were of no avail. Nothing
helped. The dream of the peasants to
do away with the oppression of their
oppressors was finally realized.
The extent to which the existence
of the landed estates were disadvan-
tageous to the peasants is seen from
the fact that in the villages of Poro-
syatnikov, Silevo-Dubrovky, and
others, the peasants plots were be-
yond those of the estates of the no
bility and the latter formed ring
around the village. In order to reach
their land the peasants had to work
for the nobility so as to get permit
for crossing their estates. They had
to build roads, take care of cattle, and
similar other things, for the nobility.
The peasant had to pay dearly. In
addition to that the peasants had to
rent pastures for their cattle from the
nobility as they had none Of their
own. Besides the peasants were gen
orally dependent on the estates. They
had to buy wood for fuel and build
ings from them and take land, etc.
In the Bokarev Volost, seven es-
tates possessed about one-half Of the
land of the Volost, whereas 10000
peasants had the other half.
4 That is how the landed estates were
broken UP in 1918 in the Bokarev
Volost of the Bezhits Uyezd in the
Tver Province.
