SOVIET MONEY
INF LAT|ON
STARTS
BY EDWARD L. DEUSS
international Newa Service

MOSCOW, Oct. 17.-Soviet treas.
nry printing presses are turning out
thousands of new notes. causing the
gravest initiation OF the Russian
ruble since the chervonetz. equiva-
lent to rubles. was legally stabilized
several years ago.
Estimates of the state bank value
the ruble today at only Al kopecks.
Or 21 cents. 1t is supposed to be
worth 100 kopecks. or 81 cents. ac-
cording to the banking law.
Dual System Is Bad
The dual system of currencyis not
proving successful. as was expected.
The bad" ruble has contaminated
the good cheryonetz. which is. backed
hS 81 per cent gold and precious
metal reserve of chervonetZ notes In
the state treasury.
Legally rubles are backed by SO
per cent reserve of chervonetz notes
held in the treasury. Actually rubles
have been issued up to Sc per cent
of the value of the chervonetz re-
serve.
The resignation of A. L. Scheme
mann, the greatest financial author
ity in the Soviet union. as director
of the STATE bank was caused by
the decision of the Communist party
leaders and the commissariat of
finance to keep on printing ruble
notes.
RecOnsiders Plan
After registering the protest, how
ever, M. Scheinamann was induced
to reconsider. and consented to
continue as the banks director for
purposes of prestige in connection
with his appointment as head of
Amtorg," the Russian
Trading Corporation, in New York.
NJ. Piatakoff, former Trotzky
opposition leader, who repented and
was readmitted to the Communist
party. will be in active charge of
the State banks affairs though
nominally he was appointed as
assistant director.
The Initiation has robbed the pro-
letariat of virtually all that was
gained in the past year in wage
advances. The retail index figure
on food has gone up nearly 10
per cent with the 1913 figure taken
a. 100. the present index on flour
is 555, vegetables 535; meat, 212;
dairy products, $50. The general
wholesale index is I'll.

FOR UNEMPLOYED
5 More Arrested When
Applying for Shelter

Five unemployed workers were
roughly handled and arrested last
night when they applied for shelter
at the New York Municipal Lodging
House, 432 E. 25th st. This is the
second roundup at the public insti-
tuition within two Vdays.
When the workers appeared at the
sheltering house they, together with
more than 500 others who applied
for admittance, were questioned as
to their friends and relatives. Those
whose answers were not satisfactory
to the officials and representatives
of the police department were showed
into a detention roof to wait for
their trip to the night court.
A patrol wagon and ten policemen
waited outside of the lodging house.
They later took the arrested workers
to the court.
Investigation yesterday and last
night showed that the New York de-
partment of public welfare, the
Brooklyn borough presidents office
and the lodging house administration
are cooperating with the police de-
partment in its persecution of New

what we are doing is no less than

acting as collector for Wall Street,
wrote John S. Hemphill, father OF
one of the American marines killed
in Nicaragua, to President Coolidge.
This letter is not the sort usually
made public by the war department
and it reveals an undercurrent of
dissatisfaction between the rank and
file in the army and the general
staff. -. :.

SICMAN TRADES
40 HOUR WEEK
FOR BOSSES AID
Amazing Secret Deal
Against ClOakmakers
Joint Board of Union
Brands Treachery

The truth of the statement made
by the left wing leadership of the
Joint Board of the Cloak and Dress
makers Union that Morris Sigman,
right wing International president,
had surrendered the forty-hour week
In return for their support, was made
apparent yesterday when Sigman at
a conference held between him and
the employers at the Pennsylvania
Hotel arrived at an agreement in
which he is not to try to install the
forty-hour week on July next. July
Of this year is the time when the
change from the forty-two to a forty
hour week should take place, according
to the agreement won by the 1926
general strike of the cloakmakers
under the leadership of the left wing
administration of the Joint Board.
Sigman Cordially" Helps Bosses.
The conference between the Indus
trial Council of the Cloak, Suit and
Skirt Manufacturers, Inc, and Sig
man, was called as a secret parley
by the bosses. The bosses frankly
told Sigman that since there is no
sfnion control in the industry he
should not entertain any idea of in
stalling the forty-hour week. Accord
ing to manufacturers, the cordiality
with which Sigman replied to this re-
quest of the bosses, convinced them
that they will have no trouble on this
vital issue.
But Wants Bosses Aid.
Sigman, however, requested the
bosses to be more diligent in the
matter of not allowing non-registered
workers to work in their shops and
complained that there were too many
left wing workers in the shops of
the Industrial Council who had not
registered in his bosses union. This
statement is made in spite of years

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The
United States delegation to the
Havana Conference and Presi-

in their power to prevent the
discussion of the Nicaraguan
situation at the conference, the
State Department emphatically an
nounced today. State Department Of
ficials also made it clear that they
would oppose any move on the part
of Argentina, Mexican, or Haitian
delegates to introduce any resolution
referring directly or indirectly to the
United States Intervention in Latin
American states. Proposals "defin-
ing" Intervention have. already been
drawn up by number of Latin
American delegations.
The State Department has selected
its shrewdest diplomats in an effort
to prevent the discussion Of the Mica
raguan situation at the Pan-American
congress.
In addition to President Coolidge
and Secretary of State Kellogg, who
are not officially members of the
delegation, the United States dele
gates will include Charles Evans

Republic Declared.

MANAGUA, Jan. 5.-A Nicara-
guam republic, pledged to maintain
the independence of Nicaragua, has
been proclaimed by the leaders of
the Liberal army headed by General
Augustine Sandino. The new repub-
lie comprises the whole department
OF Nueva Segovia and a considerable
portion of northern Nicaragua which
is under the control of the Liberal
forces. Money is being coined in the
name of the new government and the
sale of intoxicating liquors has been
forbidden, to increase the efficiency
of the army of independence. A
heavy penalty has been authorized
for those found guilty of selling in
toxicating liquor. The Liberal gov
ernment is said to be taking over
mines and declaring them the prop
erty of the new state.
The United States marines and
Nicaraguan constabulary under ma
rine officers holding the town of
Quilali today were keeping sharp
lookout for a possible surprise at
tack by the Liberal forces under Cen
eral Sandino.
Supplies Rushed.
1t was thought news of reinforce
ments and supplies being rushed to
Quilali may have reached General
Sandino's headquarters. The extreme
quiet prevailing since the counter
attack last Sunday has caused Off
GERS experienced in colonial warfare
to exercise all precautions.
The main force of the Liberal army
is concentrated at Ell Chipote, which
is an almost inaccessible mountain
stronghold. 1t was understood San
dino has prepared to withstand any
attacks by the marines at this point.
Just how large force Sandino
commands is not definitely known,
but from evidence gathered during
the recent clashes with marines the
Liberals appear to be will armed and
well trained.
