Co-Operatixes Urged
AS Bosses High Prices
Take Labor's Last Cent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-In a
press bulletin pleading for the for
nation of consumers cooperatives as
the only sound road to relief of
American consumers from extortion-
ate charges, the Social Action de-
partment of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference urges patience
IN the slow growth of every coopera-
tive enterprise.
1t quotes the social program APP
proved by the Catholic Bishops con-
ference eight years ago, wherein "the
astonishing difference between the
price paid to the producer and the
price paid by the consumer" was de-
scribed as 'the scandal of our indus
trial system" European cooperative
organizations growth and power in
relieving the distress of the masses
OF the people were described, and
american consumers were urged to
apply their own superior energy,
initiative and commercial capacity
to the upbuilding of like organiza-
ton on this continent.

Cal and Pals Plan to
Jam Thru Ware Case;
Reed May Spoil the Fun

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-One of
the reasons given at the White House
for President Coolidge's refusal to
call Congress in extra session is the
assurance given him by certain sena-
tors-names not given-that the cleo
ton scandal cases of Ware in Penn
sylvania and Frank Smith in Illinois
can be disposed of within few weeks
after the session opens in December.
This announcement means, appar-
emily, that Coolidge and the Old
Guard leaders are agreed upon pro-
gram of seeking to hasten decision
in these cases with the least possible
discussion on the Senate floor. In
stead of recognizing that the Norris
Brookhart group and some of the
democrats will be able to force
lengthy examination of the corruption
that marked the election of Ware and
Smith, the administration is persuad-
ed that the senate can be made to
jam the contest through to final roll
call early in January.
In view of the fact that the Jim
Reed democratic presidential boom is
largely based on his activity in these
cases, the administration dream of
an early decision is likely to prove
nightmare.

Legion Convention Calls
for More B0mbers

Continued from Page One)
hurry along at top speed to get their
jobs over, have disappointed many le-
gionnaires who have organized pri-
vate tours, determined to find at least
some remote "vestige de guerre" to
give them the thrill they had ex-
pected
In spite of all contrary predictions
American Legionnaires prefer beer to
champagne.
An intensive survey of twenty-five
cafes in the Montmartre and boule-
ward sections of Paris conclusively
proved this fact. Out of 500 legion
naires placed under observation, 95
per cent were found to be beer
DRINKS.
"They said this convention would
be an orgy" one veteran" remark
ed, land you can tell the cockeyed
world that it isn't every one of US
who's drinking beer with light
kick"
The Red Cross station at the Amer
lean Legion headquarters treated $50
cases today. While most of those
treated were suffering from more or
less advanced cases Of acute alcohol
ism there are symptoms of an OUT
break of more serious diseases. The
hospital and first aid depots here are
reported to be taking blood-tests
wholesale and it is said that special
arrangements are being made for the
appearance of these diseases on ship
board during the return trip when
their epidemic character may be has
tened by the run down condition of
the veterans" and the seasickness to
which most Of them fell victim on
their recent first experience with
ocean travel.
1t is reported that the French mum
icipal doctors are having a difficult
time rounding up and examining the
women who have poured into Paris
at an unprecedented rate during the
course of the last two weeks. In this
connection, the legionnaires have
made numerous complaints that they
are unable to elude the gendarmes
whose business it is to protect the
veterans" from the dreaded ven
geance of the French workers infur-
lated by the actions Of the murderers
of Sacco and Vanzetti, and protest
that police attendance leads to en-
barrassing and delicate situations.
"The French cops are indecent" one
legionnaire was heard to remark
wrathfully.

Americans Favored
Visitors in U.S.S,Ru
Says Columbia Prof,

OF especial interest to the delega-
ton of Americans who will sail on an
eight weeks tour to Soviet Russia on
October 18th next, is the statement
made by Professor Gerald Tanquary
Robinson, lecturer of Columbia Uni
versity, who has just completed a two
year residence within the Soviet
Union, that Americans are the most
welcome visitors in Russia and that
the United States is for Russians the
most interesting of foreign countries.
Professor Robinson devoted his stay
in Russia to studying the history of
the Agrarian Revolution, and is talk
ing back to the United States as ma
terial for history to be published,
several thousand hitherto unpublished
documents.
Those of the American tourists who
are especially interested in some defin-
tie phase of activity in the Soviet
Union will have special privileges ac-
corded them to facilitate their investi-
cations. In connection with this, the
Academy of Science of Soviet Rus
STA is organizing an International
Scientists Week in Leningrad during
the celebration of the tenth anniver-
sary of the revolution, during which
week the greatest scientists of Eur
ope will make public speeches, at
which the American tourists will be
welcome.
Books For Occasion.
Publishing houses are issuing a
large number of books on this ocoa-
sion, dealing not only with working
class questions, but embracing popular
political matters and novels, poems
and plays.
World Tourists, Inc, at SO Fifth
Avenue, New York, announces that
applications for reservations must be
on file at its office by the end of
September, due to the necessity of adj
vance negotiations for accommoda-
lions in Leningrad and Moscow.
Ample notice of this is being given
in the hope of avoiding the experience
of the first tour, in which number
of applications were received too late
to be accepted
Although definite word could not be
obtained, it was intimated that in the
spring of 1928 much larger tour
would be arranged in which accommo-
dations will be available for a more
1 comprehensive group.

ture in the world, has arrived in the
United States to make study Of
American electric power stations.
Prof. Ramzin is accompanied by his
assistant Mr. A. l. Moroz. The Their
motechnical Institute which was
opened in 1925 is doing extensive re-
search work, evolving the most eco
nomical ways of fuel utilization.
Prof Ramzin is an eminent authority
on furnace and boiler equipment Of
electric power plants. He has pub
lished over $50 studies, some of
which have been translated into

on the subject between American and
Russian engineering authorities. The
Thermotechnical Institute, according
to Prof. Ramzin has annual revenues
amounting to $2,500,0O0. More than
one thousand persons are engaged in
its large laboratories and in other
departments. The Institute owns a
well equipped experimental electric
power plant, with capacity of 5000

An extensive program of electric
power plant construction has been
undertaken by Soviet authorities. Due
to construction of new plants. the
electric power capacity of the Soviet
Union is at present 100000 XIV. larger
than before the war. Eleven large
power plants are now under construc-
ton in different parts of the country.
Of the total number-five are HYDRO
electric power plants with a total
capacity of nearly 100000 XIV, three
