LOWDENS name
DEVELOPS SPLIT
IN FARM BLOC

WASHINGTON, Nov 3 P-The split
IN the ranks Of congressional farm
leaders over the irrespective p.esi-
Dental candidacy of Frank o. Lowden
Of Illinois, was accumulated today with
expression Of conflicting views at the
capital
Representative Dickinson, republi-
can, Iowa, in a statement said the
mere suggestion of the farm problem
pointed to Mr.. Lowdens name and that
the proper alignment of agricultural
states in a common cause should die
tate a united support for single cam
didate."
At the other end of the capitol,
however, Senator Nye of North Dakota,
one of the group of western independ-
ent republican senators supporting the
candidacy of Senator Norris of Neb-
raska, revived the ghost of campaign
expenditures raised against Lowden in
connection with the republican ma
tionaI convention at Chicago in 1920.
Without mentioning the former
Illinois governor by name, Senator
Nye, in "a letter to the farmers union
convention at jamestown, N. D., in
part wrote:
LET us not overlook the fact that
one of our friends, now most promin7
emily mentioned as a candidate, was
defeated at Chicago in 1920 because
of the scandal raised over the use of
his money by his friends in attempt
ing unduly to Influence the vote OF
the Missouri delegation, in which ef-
fort hearings before the (senate) COM
mittee on privileges and elections dis
closed they we're caught red-handed. 2
Both Dickinson and Nye, however,
agreed that solution of the farm prob
blem was paramount and that there
should be no compromise or sur
render by the farmers of their posi-
ton.
Dickinson, in sounding warning to
eastern republicans that the demands
of the west must be considered, re-
called the slogan used by Lincolns
supporters in 1860-"LiSten or lose the
west" He added that with demo-
cracy led by Governor Al Smith divid-
ing the votes on, religious and wet and
dry issues" in certain places, it ''will
be a sad day for eastern republicans
when they defeat a well qualified man
for nomination, on the ground that he
happens to be friend of the farmer.
The Iowa member also declared that
the farm relief principles as embodied
in the vetoed NcNary- Haugen bill had
not been abandoned and that there
will be an equalization fee in the new
farm bill or an equalization fight IN
the next campaign"
Senator Nye in his letter said he
wished to express confidence that the
Jamestown convention would mot in
Eany way compromise the demands OF
the farmer which demands have been
only for protection on par with that
afforded other industry Aby our gov
eminent
"In these early considerations, it is
well to be constantly reminded" the
senator continues, l''that while to us

BY LEON BLUMENFELD.

For oncce devotees of the silent
drama are in line, so to speak, for a
dynamicaIly rigid account of the
eternal struggle of the working class
as caught by the magic eye of the
motion picture camera. Breaking
Chains, the opus we are referring
to, may make appearances of being
an ordinary cinema play, judging by
its title, but it is far from that, ir-
respective of the fact that themeti-
cally, in part it has a simple, but
bautiful tale of love with actual char
acters whose allotments are eloquent
ly symbolical. Originally it was
shown at the Waldorf Theatre for
one day, and so significant was its
approval that it was at once deter
mined to give ANOTHER performance
to accommodate the hundreds who
could not gain admittance due to over
crowded conditions. And so, this
Sunday Breaking Chains" will re-
peat it's message on the silver screen
of the Waldorf Theatre, located on
5Oth Street, between 9th and 7th
Avenues.
"Breaking Chains" strikes deep in
to the heart of humanity; it tells in
its own forceful manner the wrath

Innocent Furriers Are
RailrOaded on Charges
Proved to Be Baseless

Four members of the furriers' union,
Max Forsky, Jack Pollack, P. Panos
and George Seches, have been con-
victed before Judge Collins of the
General Sessions Court on a charge
of malicious destruction of property
growing out of the strike of last sum-
mer.
R. Shapiro of the Furriers' Joint
Board states that the defendants are
entirely innocent and that two of them
were at their homes when the alleged
crime was committed.
All the defendants will appeal, but
are being held in Jail until they are
sentenced Feb. %. Bail will then be
fixed.
"The right wing" said Shapiro, "by
their continuous propaganda against
the New York Joint Board and the
defendants have made themselves re-
sponsible for these convictions. Their
actions will be repudiated by the la
Dor movement of New York when the
truth becomes known"

Ticket SCANDAL

IS BEFORE BOARD
Promoter Implicated in
Wholesale Scalping

The boxing commission is today in
yestigating an alleged scandal in con-
nection with the sale of tickets for
the Delaney-Maloney fight at Madi-
son Square Garden. James A. Far
ley, chairman of the commission,
learned that a number of tickets pur-
chased by Dan Carroll, manager of
Maloney, had found their way into
the hand of Broadway spectators.
Included in these were a number
of $3.50 seats which were supposedly
not to be placed on sale until late
yesterday afternoon.
Carroll denied that he had sold the
tickets to spectators. He admitted
that he purchased 1,077 tickets and
that he had placed these on sale at
his restaurant in Boston. He did not
keep any check on the tickets, but
says he sold them to his customers.
Tickets located in the hands of
spectators that were purchased from
the garden by Carroll included $3.50
and $40 seats. One of his S22
tickets was located.

FIGHT EFFORT OF
MORRIS SIGMAN
TO WRECK BANK
Joint Board Seeks to Save
Institution

The Sigman CLIQUE dominating the
Ladies' Garment Workers Union is
willing to damage the interests of the
International Union Bank TO carry on
its war against the membership Of the
New York local. A suit filed in the
New York supreme court yesterday by
New York Joint Board brought these
charges to the fore.
The International Union Bank, the
Joint Board declares in its action, is
helping to destroy the value of prop
erty which it holds as security for a
loan, and so is damaging its own
stockholders and depositors in an at
tempt to aid the Sigman faction.
Locals 2, 9 and 35 Joined the Joint
Board in sponsoring the suit.
The defendants, the International
Union Bank and Frederick F. Umhey,
who is trustee of the property for
the bank, have been ordered to ap-
pear in part / of the supreme court
on February 1S to show cause why
they should not be enjoined from pur-
suing their present course Of action
in regard to the property.
The suit grows out of a loan of
1889, 100000 made by the bank to the
Joint Board last July for the purpose
of carrying on the recent cloak
makers strike, according to the COM
plant. All of the shares in four
union buildings, and large block of
capital stock in the International
Union Bank were turned over, upon
the advice of Morris Hillquit, then at
torney for the Joint Board, to his
clerk, Frederick F. Umhey, as trustee.
HiIIquit's Man Accused.
An affidavit of julius Portnoy, ac-
companying the complaint, declares
that in spite of assurance that the
ownership of this property would not
be disturbed by the deposit, or any
thing done with the shares of stock
until the borrowers had been given a
chance to pay off the loan, Frederick
Umhey has transferred the ownership
of the buildings to himself surrep-
titiously using the share of stock de-
posted with him.
Deeds for the four buildings were
recorded in Umhey's name in the Of
flee of the register Of the county of
New York on December &c, and these
transfers were made without the
knowledge of the lawful boards of
directors of the holding companies,
according to the complaint.
The affidavit points out that the
property is likely to be lost altogether
tsinee payments on mortgages are not
being met by Umhey, nor by the or
ganizations which have thus been de-
prived of their title, and that such a
contingency is a dangerous stability
of the International Union Bank.
The bank is made a defendant in the
action on the ground that it was
party to conspiracy "to cheat and
defraud, the four plaintiff associa-
tions of their said property, and that
the bank and Umhey "are also being
used by the international Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union as pawns in

COAL OPERATORS
STILL DEMANDING
MINERS PAY CUT
Almost Persuaded" By Lewis
Efficiency Plan

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 1.-THE negO-
tiations between the coal miners
union committee and the operators
representatives were not open to the
public today, the crucial matter under
discussion having been handed over
to subcommittee of eighteen,
equally divided between operators
and members of the union whose duty
it is to try and decide on basic
wage. The committee at "a late hour
this afternoon had failed to report
any agreement and seems to be dead
locked.
The subcommittee has under con-
sideration the operators program,
submitted and defended by VIM. H.
Haskins, of the Eastern Ohio Opera
tors Association, and Herman +. Per-
ry, of Illinois. This provides for a
competitive wake, based on that pre-
yailing in the non-union districts,
with an arbitration board to decide
everything else, the neutral members
of the board to be selected by VIM.
Howard Taft, chief justice of the su-
preme court, and notoriously anti
labor.
Lewis Efficiency Plan.
..e subcommittee also is supposed
= oe considering international Presi-
dent John L. Lewis proposal for a
continuation of the same wage (nomi-
nally $3.50 a day, actually less be-
cause of dead work, etc. and the
creation of a bureau, which shall
be a tribunal to settle all problems
arising in the industry, and which
shall endeavor to promote efficiency
on the part of the miners and opera
tors alike.
This proposal of tribunal seems
to have rather enthused some of the
operators.
Pleasant Surprise.
Perry, of the Illinois operators,
said he was almost persuaded bY
Lewis proposal, because, outside Of
wages, it contains nothing that has
not already been proposed by the
mine owners from the floor"
However, he wished to amend it by
increasing and more strictly defining
the arbitration powers which Lewis
tribunal > plainly possesses.
Arbitration Unpopular.
One of the progressive miners de-
mands at the international conven-
tion last month in Indianapolis, was
mo compulsory arbitration, and
though the Lewis machine over
whelmed it, arbitration is extremely
unpopular with the rank and file of
the miners, and union officials will
take many chances with their already
waning popularity if they yield too
openly on this point.
In spite of the fact that Lewis
proposal seeks, in his own words to
secure conditions that will give q
proper return to capital and advance
the living standards of employees;
reduce hazards; promote q sales po-
licy to destroy the practice. Of selling
below cost of production;" work for
readjustment of freight rates and CO.

matter was presented to them, and
Immediately transformed the confer
ence into a secret meeting Of the
wage scale subcommittee.
Probable Shut Down,
Observers here are confident of a
suspension of work next April,
whether it be called a strike or not,
because of the ninety million tons of
coal accumulated by the companies
and consumers as well as dealers in
preparation for a walk-out. 1t will
take about sixty days to use this up
and release the capital invested in it.
