The Republican party believes that In

born wage earners II Is necessary TO re-
strict immigration. Unrestricted immi-

Wages Protected by Tariff.
The ability to pay such wages and
maintain such a standard comes from
the wisdom of the protective legislation

upon the national statute books. the
tariff which bars cheap foreign made
goods from the American market
and provides continuity OF employ

protection of the public from exactions

II Hurt as Missouri
Train Leaps Track

VISTA, Mo-, Aug. 81 (UP).-Sev-
enteen passengers and two members
of the crew of a Frisco, Kansas
City, Clinton and Springfield pas
senger train were injured when two
cars of the train struck a spread
rail and plunged into ditch five
miles south of here.
Seven of the injured were badly
hurt, but all will recover, according
to physicians. The most seriously
injured were taken to hospital at
Springfield.
The train was local and con-
sisted of the engine, a baggage car
and a single coach. The engine
passed over the weakened portion
of the track, but the baggage car
and coach overturned. Passen-
gers in the coach were trapped until
members of the train crew were
able to smash the windows.

Expedition Explores
New Found Inca City
in Peruvian Jungles

LIMA, Peru, Aug. 2S.-At the top
of the mountain of Huaynapiccho,
on the Amazon ridge of the Andes
mountains, an unknown Inca city
and fortress has been discovered by
the accident of astronomic observa-
tions from nearby mountain. 1t is
believed that it is the first time that
white men set foot in this particular
part of the vast domain of the old
Inca empire.
1t is possible and even probable
that these ruins were ruins already
when the Incas conquered the coun-
try from the Aymaras, about 600
years before the arrival of the Span
iards at the beginning of the SIX
teenth century and that they repre-
sent a civilization which preceded
that of the Inca empire.
Huaynapiccho was discovered in
August by Peruvian scientific ex-
petition
Four of the explorers swan the
Vilcanota and opened a trail through
the dense wilds to the base of the
mountain. One of the party was
bitten by snake and could not pro-
coed, but the others pushed on to
find wide stone stairway 400 yards
long leading up the steep incline.
At the top of the staircase they
found great old fortress. Outside
the fortress lay the ruins of an
evidently once thriving city. There
were big stone constructions, many
platform dwellings and character
istic of the Inca architecture, streets,
alleys and other remnants Of note.
But all was covered by thick wild
growth which in the course of CEN
turtles had spread itself rampant
over the town.
A new exploration party is being
organized with the purpose of
thoroughly examining the ruins.
The present Indebtedness of Ecua-
dor is about $10,000,000 to Great
Britain and $1o,Oo0,OOO to the

Only three shops were called out

even these three strikes were aban-

CANDIDATE WILL
EXPOSE ROLE OF
WALL ST. TWINS
Will Tour Many Cities
Turnout State

Scott Nearing, Communist candi-
date for Governor of New Jersey,
began on Sunday tour of the cities
of the state. The first meeting was
held at the old Y. M. H. A. Hall, at
the corner of Smith and Mcclellan
Sts., Perth Amboy. Other meetings
will be held in Jersey City, New
eTk, Passaic, Bayonne, Elizabeth and
Paterson.
Much interest has been awakened
among New Jersey workers in Near
ing's tour by the leaflet distributed
by the Workers (Communist) Party
challengingly headed "Who Rules
New Jersey?" The campaign
speeches of the Communist candi-
date for governor will expose fully
the Wall Street control of both ma
jor capitalist candidates, Smith and
Hoover, will bring to light the full
graft and sordid corruption which
is rife in New Jersey, and will con-
clusively prove the domination of
state government in New Jersey by
powerful corporations.
The workers of New Jersey are
not the only ones to be stirred to
interest by the tour of the Commu-
mist candidate. The graft and cor
ruption prevalent in that state is
so widespread and involves so many
high lights in the councils of both
capitalist parties that there is much
quaking in the boots which tramp
capitalist political circles.
An incident which occurred in
Perth Amboy is illustrative of the
interest awakened in the masses of
New Jersey workers by the impend-
ing tour of the Communist candi-
date A fisherman walked into the
headquarters of the Party in Perth
Amboy. Look here" he exclaimed
Indignantly, while your candidate
is exposing all of the graft of the
politicians, let him expose the poor
sewage system. It's so bad now that
most of the fish we catch here are
