TOMSKY REPORT
SCORES BRITISH
RIGHT WINCERS
Reformists Hit Anglo
Soviet Labor Unity

MOSCOW, July 4.-The report Of
Tomsky (head of the All Union Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions) to the plen-
airy session of the All Union Central
Council of Trade Unions has just
been published. The AUCCTU at
tached exceptional significance to the
meeting of the AngIo-Russian Com
mittee because of the danger of the
disruption of the Committee thru the
tactics of the right wing leaders of
the General Council, TomslIy said.
The Berlin meeting Tomsky said,
was very short. 1t opened with an
attempt on the part of the right wing
representatives of the British Cen
eral Council to limit the discussion to
the interview which Tomsky had
given to the press on the subject OF
the British Trade Union bill.
Reformist Tactics.
Tomsky declared that nobody had
a right to limit his freedom of speech
and that he did not consider him
self bound in his personal activities
to any resolutions of the Anglo-Rus-
sian Committee. He said that he had
right to his own opinions on the in
ternational labor movement an d
deemed it his duty to express them.

Cal Names Colonial
Gar to Supervise"
Nicaragua Elections

WASHINGTON, July A pro-
fessional soldier, Gen. Frank R.
Mccoy, was yesterday named by
Coolidge to supervise" the Mica
raguan elections in 1928.
Mccoy has a long record Of ac-
tive service on behalf of American
imperialists. He has helped in the
subjugation of Cuba, Santiago and
the Philippines, serving at various
times, under the direction of Gen.
Leonard Wood and under William
Howard Taft when the latter was
governor of the island.
With the constitutional presi-
dent, Sacasa, driven from the coun-
try by U. S. marines, the "elec-
ton" of Diaz under the supervision
of American bayonets is now a
foregone conclusion.

3 Boys Drown Near
Sing Sing As Six
Guards Bar Rescue

0SSIMING, N. Y. July A thou
sand prisoners and guards at Sing
Sing looked on helplessly while three
unidentified youths, off on a holiday
excursion, drowned 300 feet from the
walls of the prison today.
The prisoners begged to be allowed
to rescue the boys, but the guards,
acting under orders not to let them
out in any emergency, held them at
bay with rifles.
Warden Lewis E. Lawes heard of
the tragedy too late to be of any as
sistance. He deplored the fact that
word had not reached him sooner so
that he might have sent men to the
rescue.
The prisoners were exercising in
the big yard facing the Hudson River
when they heard screams. Suddenly
turning toward the cries, they saw
the boys making desperate efforts
to swim to shore after their frail
little canoe had overturned.
They cried and begged to be al
AOWSu W ~ " VilS rescue. All CnaC
separated them from the boys was a
picket fence, IL feet high, and less
than 200 feet of water which good
swimmer could easily have negoti-
ated
Two boys sank some distance from
shore. The third had only Is yards
more to go when he gave his final
cry and disappeared under the wa
ters.
The six guards stood watch with
guns, unwilling to rescue the boys
themselves or to allow any of the
prisoners to do so.

but l do know that they threw lot
of it into the water Ny lodge would

The revelations made here would
show that the late Warren S. Stone,
former president of the union, had
used the machinery of the union to
promote a number of private enter
prises of doubtful character and in
which many members had invested,
has served to create current of stern
determination among many delegates
close to the rank and file to probe to
the bottom of the tangled heap of
financial wreckage which has been
barely uncovered. Underneath the
humorous comments heard there is a
definite feeling that the Brotherhood
insurance fund, with liabilities total
ling some $186,000,O00, has perhaps
not escaped manipulation at the hands
of officials intrigued by the POSSIBLE
ties of high finance.

Even the modern office building
which houses the headquarters of the

Especial Cable to The DAILY
WORK ERR

!. REPRESENTATIVE of the AUCCTU
protested against deferring the meet
ing of the Anglo-Russian Com
nittee and demanded the reason for
the failure of Anglo-Russian Com
mittee to meet, considering it time
that the workers of the Soviet Union
and Great Britain know the prob
lens that it must face in its strug-
gle against the danger of war.
Delay, Harmful.
The workers must know where
they stand: Does or does not the
Ango-Russian Committee exist? Why
is it inactive? Who is responsible
at this moment for the delay in the
calling of the Anglo-Russian Com
mittee-a delay that is more harmful
than the actual refusal to call 1t.
The representative of the AUCCTU
did not receive an honest reply to
these questions. Representatives OF
the British General Council doubted
whether they could Immediately call
the Anglo-Russian Committee. The
AUCCTU pointed out that this would
be the greatest mistake, that this
would be regarded as desire to
abandon the workers of the Soviet
Union in an hour of danger. The
further postponement of the Anglo
Russian Committee meeting on the
part of the British workers cannot
be estimated otherwise than the
direct intention to smash the Anglo
Russian Committee and an attempt
to curry favor with Conservative
government and bourgeois public
opinion.
After this brief exchange of views
followed the brief communication
from Citrine British labor leader)
that the question of the Genera
Councils attitude towards the Anglo
Russian Committee would be referred
to the international Committee Of
the General Council.
U.S.S.R. Wants Unity.
In conclusion Tomsky declared tha'
Anglo Russian Committee had beer
created for the purpose OF realizing
the fraternal union of the workers o.
/ the Soviet Union with the workers
of Great Britain and that even if thu
leaders of the General Council wer'
very bad leaders and were unequal t.
/ the task of dealing with the question
of war the AUCCTU does not ASSUME
the initiative in breaking up tn
Anglo-Russian Committee and ap
peals to the working masses of tn
Soviet Union and England to watc
against the threat to the Anglo-Rus
sian Committee thru the tactics o
the General Council.
Let the masses fairly estimate tn
policies of the AUCCTU and thos
of the General Council.

session of the North Dakota Amer

You are going to San Antonio

~ieve that $4,000 or $4,000 would be
"a good investment in the band and
to take it to San Antonio would show

BIG INCREASE
IN AIRP0RTS,
SAYS REPORT
Fifty New Places Have Been
Established in Year-MOre
Under Way

In survey Of the airway facili-
ties in the United States. the De-
partment of Commerce finds that
there are S64 airports and inter-
mediate landing fields, according to
. VIM. p. MacCracken, Jr., Assistant
Secretary for Aeronautics.
During the past year. Mac
Cracker said, more than 80 new
airports have been established and
twice that number of cities have
set aside funds or have begun plans
for modern airports. Chambers of
Commerce, business clubs and other
civic organizations are cooperating
in the effort to build up complete
airway and airport system. BY
the end of 1927 about 1000 air
ports and intermediate fields will
dot the United States, from coast
to coast and from the Canadian
border to the Gulf of Mexico"
The present S64 fields include POI
municipal, l63 commercial and pri
vatc airports, l24 Department of
Commerce intermediate fields, 2S7
miscellaneous intermediate fields
and 81 Army, Navy, and National
Guard fields, Treasury, and |
Agriculture field. By the end Of
the .f1z8 fiscal year, the Depart
ment of Commerce estimates that
lighted and marked intermediate
fields will total approximately 262.
compared with 124 at the present
time. In addition, 81 municipal
fields are proposed. Besides these,
the Department of Commerce has
on record about 5000 unimproved
fields, such as pastures or similar
areas throughout the country on
which landings and takc-offs have
been or can be made.

HOMES ARE ALL NAMED

ADMINISTRATIONS of the most
picturesque aspects of England 20
American visitors lies in the fact
that private homes bear names
rather than numbers.
"Fcur Chimneys," "Five ga
bles." "Eillcrest." "Mapleleaf,"
and their cousins take the place
of 324, 533, 644 and the like.
This is somewhat difficult for
the person seeking a house for the
first time, and particularly hard
for a new letter carrier But It
does have its amenities. Over the
doors and on the gates of English
homes are their names, and the
homes come to acquire character

PEDDLE HEDGEHOGs

London-(AP)-The street tor
teise-seller has long been a feature
OF London. His strange wares arc
eagerly bought by suburban house
holders who place them in their
small gardens and make pets of
them as far as possible.
Now the tortoise vendor has a
rival. Trucks laden with hedge
hogs are to be seen en- the streets.
A brisk business is done. Hedge
hogs are useful to fruit and flower
growers. They eat cockroaches
and garden pests. When such
dishes fail, they live quite happily
on bread and milk.
