p PRESIDENTIAL
TERN IN MEXICO
NOW SIX YEARS

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 26 tP - The
constitutional amendment increasing
the term of the presidential office from
four to six years became effective to-
day through publication in the "Diario
Official"
Signed by President Gales, the new
article reads: 1.-THE president will en-
ter upon the exercise of his office on
the first day of December and continue
in this office for six years. An IN
dividual never. can be reelected Tor a
term Immediately succeeding to tnat
of his incllmbency'
1t has been assumed that the ex-
tended term does not apply to Presl-
dent Gales whose time in Office ex-
pires in December of this year, but viii
apply to his successor, who now seems
likely to be General Alvaro, Obregon
the only candidate in the field. How
ever, some of the observers think that
should circumstances require 1t, the
new law could be interpreted to apply
to Gales. which would extend his term
two years longer.

kept busy shaking hands.
Approximately 300 persons. or three
fourths of the towns population, were
at the station when Pershing's train
arrived
Mayor Edmund B. Allen, boyhood
friend of the general, was the first
to greet him formally. Others quickly
gathered around. among them Mrs.
Matte Packer, Pershing's cousin and
Henry LomaX, Laclede bank president.

by name and they, grinning with
pleasure, strove more or less vainiy
to feel as much at ease with him
as in the days when he was con-
sidered something of a SISSY" be,
cause he preferred to read at home
instead of accompanying them on
exciting expeditions into forbidden
orchards in quest of apples.

Hughes told the Pan-An1erican con-
ference commission on public interna-

recommendations governing the right
of asylum prepared by the Mexican
reporting delegate, Gonzales Roa.
Mr. Hughes reservations are identi-
cal with those made by United States
delegates at the international juristS
commission at Rio Janeiro, which pre-
pared the report now under consider
aJion. He declared that American
! diplomatic representatives always have
been. careful not to allow legations to

START RECOUNT
OF BALLOTS In
Pennsylvania

WASHINGTON Jan 26 lP-Re-
versing its action of yesterday, the
senate elections committee voted
unanimously today to start an imme-
diate recount of ballots in the six
Pennsylvania counties challenged oy
William, B. Wilson democrat, In thy
election Of William S. Ware in the
1926 senatorial race.
The eight republicans of the COM
mittee, who had voted down six
democrats yesterday lin DENYING a
recount reversed their stand at q
meeting suddenly called after Senator
Reed, democrat, Missouri. had asked
the senate to override the commit
tees decision.
Action was taken late today by
the committee on an amended petit
ton filed by Mr. Wilson which went
more specifically into the charge of
a conspiracy by Ware and his repub-
lican party associates in the 1925
election. Chairman Shortridge eX-
planned that the amended plea met
objections voiced yesterday.
Mr. Ware now faces Gouble-
barrelled attack against his seat The
campaign funds committee, headed
by Reed of Missouri, which has been
instructed by the senate to examine
into Wares primary expenditures, will
work with the subcommittee Of the
elections committee in some instances
in the latter's inquiry into the con
test of Wilson against the election.
On the basis of the slush fund
committees report Ware already has
been denied the oath of office by the
senate. However, if Ware is denied
a seat on it's report, Mr. Wilson
would not be given it, and, it would
be considered vacant.
But if Wilson wins his contest
before the elections committee, and
the senate upholds it, he will get
the seat
Chairman Shortridge plans to name
the subcommittee which is to con-
duct the recount in the six counties
challenged by Wilson tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Ware, who has in
dicated he would like all ballots cast
in Pennsylvania to be recounted if
any are to be, has been given ten
days in which to file an answer and
to ask for recounts in other counties.
Like Mr.. Wilson. however, he will
be required to file specific charges
in each county or precinct in which
he desires the recount

"Give us food and clothing to maintain

we will fight on until the proud coal
barons are forced to pay the Jackson
vile scale, under which we could

This is the cry one hears from ev-
cry part of the coal strike war area

are locked in mighty struggle with
the coal operators, backed by the bill
lions of Wall Street and with the CO
operation of the industrial lords Of
the country.
Food will win this strike, plus mass
picketing which win scare the. scabs
out of the mines and stop the pro-
duction of coal.
The American workers and all 9TH
ers who are sympathetic to the cause
of the strikers must contribute the

WASHINGTON, March 1e. - A
class-collaboration scheme for the
mine industry similar to that which
has already been put over on the rail-
road workers was revealed here yes
terday as the program of John L.
Lewis cooperating with certain of the
coal operators.
Testifying before the senate COM
mittee Investigating" the mine stu
alton, John H. Jones, who represented
himself as an independent" operator
but who is suspected as speaking for
the large companies, announced that
he would favor government legisla-
ton preventing strikes in the mine
industry and setting up commission
as arbiter of the differences between
the miners and the operators.
II am confident" Lewis declared in
reply to the suggestion, chat some
such arrangement could be worked out
to eliminate strikes"

opinion expressed by many delegates.
The Lewis machine was held respon-
sible for failing to organize the un-
organized miners. In addition it was
shown that the separate agreement
was serving to defeat the miners
union.
Comparison of the present stand
ing of the district with its position
six years ago revealed the fact that
the Lewis policy towards the Kansas
Industrial Court Law had almost
wrecked the district. The operators
have introduced company unions.
Fight Against Lewis.
A picture was given of the struggle
of the militant miners in their bitter
fight against the Lewis machine dur
ing the past six years. The whole
discussion over the southwest dis
tricts confirmed the fact that Lewis
was cooperating with the operators
in the drive on the union.
The Southwest Mine Workers Of
America, a dual union with Arch
Helms, former district president of
25 as secretary, was discussed and
shown to be tool Of the bosses, a
company union. Helms was a Lewis
man that has gone the crooked road
Of Harrington and the road of the
other Lewis machine men. This COM
pany union is invading the southwest
and signing up with $3.50 reduction
per day. No acknowledgment are to
be found where it has jurisdiction.
Conference Says Lewis Must Go.
The unanimous opinion of the con-
ference was that Lewis must 60 and
that there must be no separate agree
ments. A national strike and the or
ganizing of the unorganized miners
was stressed at the meeting. The
Coal Digger was enthusiastically
greeted by the miners who said they
want more of the paper.
The meeting was held at the Rex
Theatre and long before the hour OF
opening the miners were waiting out
side and talking things over. Tho
the Kansas nsners are 300 behind
the "Save-the- Union Committee" pro.
gram was the testimony Of all dele.
gates.
Elect Delegates to Pittsburgh.
Four delegates to the Pittsburgh
conference were elected at the meet
ing in addition to a committee OF
four on finance and action. The dele
cation will travel to the Pittsburgh
conference by autos. None of the
Lewis district henchmen showed UP
at the conference but several spies
were among those who came. This
did not concern the delegates as the
Lewis machine here as in other Sec
tions is on the march--backward.
Recently Alex Howat, well-known
Kansas militant, wired the "Save-the-
Union Committee" Of his support of
its drive.

The necessity for a DAILY WORK

Baltimore's share in the national sub
scription campaign to add 10000 new
readers to the paper before May /,
is stressed by Philip Stanton, agent
of the paper in Baltimore, in a recent
letter to The DAILY WORKER. The
letter accompanies the last envelope
of subs which Stanton mailed in from
the Baltimore section.
Pushing Drive.
''In spite of the energy with which
the workers are pushing the subscrip-
ton drive in this district" writes
Stanton. "a DAILY WORKER Build

the new bodies in Philadelphia and
Providence is vitality necessary to the

Baltimore has done extremely

handicaps under which the campaign
has so far been conducted. The time
has come for us to make still better

The Baltimore district has increas-
ed its number of subscribers by more
than a score in the last few days and
with the formation of the new organi-
cation, promises to accomplish still
more.
Favor Idea.
Stanton reports that the Baltimore
workers are very sympathetic to the
Builders Club" idea and predicts the
organization within a short time.
Plans for a free distribution of the

@gested that A. Ravich, the circulation
