FORMER BAT BOY

AS a gambler, a speculator and
a business man Gates occupies a
unique niche. The story Of his Wall
Street accomplishments are as allur.
ing as the tale of his race track
maneuvers. Men say that financial
speculation is business. and that
race track betting is sheer gamble.
Gates did bOth-the only figure in
race track history who was able to
turn gambling instinct into. chan
nels OF real value in national de-
velOpment and enterprise.
Garfield had a. polish which Gates
lacked; Rothstein had poise which
Gates never knew: Grammar and
Smith and the others had qualities
of social development which he
always envied but never acquired.

But Gates had something that
no other plunger had ever had
he had business acumen plus
ability, plus visiOn--aIld the same
spirit which made him a gam
bier and a plunger was, after
all. the spirit which made him
an organizer, q developer and q
pioneer.
John w. Gates died in Paris in
1911-and with his death a new
c'.apter was written in the story of
the man who was. There were wet
eyes around the race track that
July morning when news came that
John Gates had placed his last stakes
with the Eternal Bookmaker.
He was the greatest of them all"
men whispered amid the din and
hustle of the paddock. 'There'll
never he another like him"
But even then they didn't know
the real character OF the man.
Perhaps. after all, Gates ideas and
ideals are best summed up in the
words of the euIogy spoken over his
stiI form by a man who knew him
from .boyhood. Here it Is:
What he was. he was, and h,
didn't care who knew it. He had
no secrets. He resorted to no de
ceptions. MO subterfuses to attain
his ends. He thought in flashes and
moved In dashes. He did not lie.
He did not cheat. He was himself.

FASCISTS ABROAD
FASCISTS STILL

GENEVA, Feb. 5.-Absolute obedi-
ence to Mussolini from Italians living
in foreign countries is imposed on
these "colonists" by eight new ar
ticles just made public by Pietro Pa
RIM, secretary general of the fas-
cists.
The first article defines foreign fas-
cist clubs as organizations owing
obedience to Mussolini and whose
aims are "to group around the in
sigma of fascism colonies of Italians
living in foreign countries"
The articles further call upon Ital-
ians living abroad to obey the in
structions of the diplomatic represen-
tatives of their country and to avoid
participation in the politics of the
country where they may be residing
The articles also provide three
forms of punishment for infractors
reprimand, suspension and expulsion.
Mussolini's new acts are thought to
be aimed particularly at retaining the
Italian allegiance of the large group:
Of Italians living in Argentina ant

HIGH PRODUCTION

Textile Output Greater
With Three Shifts

MOSCOW, by MaiD.-The seven
hour day in the textile industry will
not only benefit Soviet Union workers
directly by a reduction of working
hours, but will result in large in
crease of production, according to
preliminary estimates.
The three-shift system, which viii
be introduced with the seven-hour day
is expected to raise the output of
textile goods and to furnish employ
ment for 17,785 additional workers.
The seven-hour day has been intro
duced in number of other industries
Wage agreements recently concluded
have resulted in substantial wage in
creases for large numbers Of work
ers. The collective agreement between
the DonUgol and the Ukrainian Min
ers' Committee have increased wages
about twenty per cent More work
ing clothes and a higher ration Of
fuel are also provided for in the
agreement.

industrial crisis of capitalism is not
abating, notwithstanding the sacri-
fees forced on the workers. by the
policy of surrender advocated by the
Labor leaders.
Struggle Is Imminent.
More and mere, therefore, the pol
icy Of struggle and battle must come
tc the front. The greedy necessities
of capitalism will goad the workers
into revolt. They will inevitably fol-
low the road indicated by the Com
munists. Net through policy of Gin

ton" can the workers come into their
own, but by ever sharper, deeper and
wider conflicts with capitalism cul-
minating in even more widespread and
extensive general strikes than in 1926.
There is no other way out of the
present morass: no other political

of the Nicaraguan elections, Brig.
Gen. Frank X. Mccoy informed fol-
lowers of the conservative leader

General Moncada, who sold out to

At a conference between General
Mccoy, United States Minister Eber-

leaders headed by Roseno Chamorro
(brother of Emiliano), Mccoy made it
clear that United States marines

When Chamorro visited the United
States recently, state department Of

SOCIALISTS ON
VERGE OF FIGHT
Fists Raised but Only
Words Fly in Vienna

VIENNA, Feb. 5.-Hard words flew
and lists were lifted, but renamed in
the air, while socialists and clericals
in the Austrian parliament hurled at
one another charges and counter
charges that blackmail methods dom
mate the Austrian police administra-
ton. The uproar which has seldom
been equalled even in the Austrian So
cialist parliament, was loudest in the
visitors gallery which was packed for
the occasion by the socialists.
The storm broke when Mayor Kari
Heitz, socialist who shot down the
revolving Vienna workers in July
shouted Thar" at Vice-chancellor
Hartles. The deputies rushed for
ward, one of them striking the brief
case of Chancellor Seipel SO that il
skidded and hit him. The deputy i'm
mediately apologized. Unable to main
tain silence Or start a real fight, the
presiding officer was forced to adj
journ the session.
