HOOVER COMING
TO DIVIDE LOOT
Will Give Imperialist
Advice, Patronage

WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 2S.-
A fierce discussion RACES among
senators and representatives in this
city as to the best way to employ
President-elect Hoover's forthcom-
ing visit to the capital.
Hoover will arrive in time TO boss
the Bolivia-Paraguay decision, but
it is generally accepted that his trip
to Washington is for the purpose,
among others, of compromising the
patronage tangle, many senator's
openly threatening to sabotage ad-
ministration bills if their right to
have their friends appointed to pub
lie office is overlooked.
Hoover Tightens the Patronage.
Hoover is said to be committed
tc the plan of having the party ma
chinery provide the list of those
who shall enjoy the spoils of office
as their reward for heavy political
campaigning for the republican
party.
Opponents of the McNary-
Haughen farm bill threaten fill
buster in the senate if Hoover con-
sents to bring the bill up in this
session. Among these are Senator
Borah, who declares that he will
permit nothing to go ahead of the
Kellogg treaties.
President Coolidge admits that he
advised Hoover to return. 1t is con-
sidered that Coolidge felt the situa-
tion was getting out of hand.

BOLIVIA SEXES
MORE LAND AS
ARDITORS MEET
Takes Fort; Advances
Twelve Miles Into
Oil Regions
Fake Arbitration Is On
Trick to Permit Easy
Conquest by Bankers

ASUNCION, Paraguay, Dec. %.
Bolivian troops renewed the war
on Paraguay today by Te-occupying
Fort Vanguardia, which was the
point of the first battle some weeks
ago, and advancing their armies
twelve miles further into the Gran
Chaco territory of Paraguay.
Bolivia is completely under the
financial control of a New York
banking consortium, which virtually
owns the treasury and dictates all
expenditures. Without its consent,
Bolivia cannot go to war, but the
consent is Forthcoming, as the
American oil and mining companies
which control those industries in
Bolivia want the oil supplies Of the
Gran Chaco and the river ports
near Asuncion.
Farce and Fraud.
The policy of the American finan-
ciers seem to be to hold back Para
quay by fake Cancellation through
The American-controlled Pan-Amer-
icsn Conference for Cancellation and
arbitration, and meanwhile to allow
Bolivia to quietly occupy the dis
puted land.
The denial coming from Jose
Quiroz, chief of staff of Bolivian
armies, that his troops are not ad-
vsncing, is branded here as lie.
Paraguayan Note.
The Paraguayan governments dis
patch to the legation at Washing
ton, where the fraudulent arbitra-
tiop is being carried on, says:
! Bolivian troops have occupied
anew Fcrt Vanguardia, abandoned
sitter the last happening. The troops
/ (Bolivian) still retain Boqueron Ga
Paraguayan fort) and have ad-
vanced four leagues twelve miles,
further into the interior, threaten
ing the zone occupied by the Men
MONTE colony. All this took place
without fighting, taking advantage
Of the order given our troops to
cease hostilities.
Gas soon as it accepted the good
offices of the government at Wash
ington. this government Paraguay
revoked the order which had beer
given to reoccupy Boqueron, as proof
Of it's good faith.
"All the foregoing shows that
Bolivia has not complied with its
promises and very grave situation
AGAIN is created, because Paraguay
alone cannot avoid new fighting"

TAX REFUNDS TO
MELLON FIRMS
More Large Gifts From

A neat present to the Mellon
owned corporations which do not
openly boast of their Mellon connec-
tons. appears from comparison of
the Directory of Directors with the
U. S. Treasury Department report
of refunds Of income taxes for the
fiscal year ending June, 1928.

Company of America over half a
million dollars, the steel trust, with
which his family is closely connect
ed, probably $30,000,O00, and all of
his mining companies goodly sums
from the treasury, Mellon appears
as his own beneficiary in the Nc
Clintic- Marshall Construction Co.
case. This Pittsburgh concern has
a gift from the U. S. treasury thru
Andrew Mellon, secretary of the
treasury, of S874,255. R. B. Mellon.
Andrew Melons brother, is direc-
r of this company, and the Wall
Greet Journal says that Mellon
oldom sits as. a director on any
company he does not control. Nc
Clintock is one director, and Mar
hall is another.
Andy's Own Company.
These two, Marshall and McClin-
1ck, are also directors with Andrew

ose connection indeed with the
treasury as well as with McClintock-

which is published in the Trotsky-

"'The fact that the Opposition
have not abandoned that plat
form, the fact that they use it
in the Party, and that Cannon
uses it outside the Party to fight

BOMBAY, India, Dec. 28.-Jack
j Johnstone, we'll known labor leader
in America, member of the Painters
Union, organizer of the Chicago
stoekyards workers and strike lead
er in their great strike, organizer
in the steel strike of 1919, and ac-
tive in many other labor fields, has
been arrested at Djaria, India, by
direct orders of the Anglo-Indian
government.

Indian workers by the British gov

In Grave Danger.
What will be done with Johnstone
in this country of arbitrary tyranny
and the firing squad, where the
British government did not hesitate
a few years ago to massacre hun
dreds of Indian workers at a mass
meeting at Armitsar, is not certain
yet. The All-America Anti-Imper-
ialist League, member of the
world organization for which John
stone was speaking at the Indiar
Trade Union Congress, calls for the
most widespread campaign of pro.
test and publicity against this arbi

government. The exact charge
against Johnstone is not yet made
public.

AGED Shaved IN
WHALEN REGIME
Wanamaker's sOilyChief
Intimidated Workers

For a Christmas present, Grover
A. Whalen, S100,000-a-year general
manager of the Wanamaker store
on 4th Ave. and Astor Place. re-
ceived an extra Job as commissioner
of the graft-fat New York police
from his Tammany associates while
on "official" leave of absence from
the labor batting firm; but for the
thousands of workers employed at
Wanamakers', Christmas meant only
intolerable long hours, speed-up
made more intense because they ere
constantly on their feet, 10 and 12
and even Ia hours day, all under
the close surveillance of store de-
tectives.
Exploiting the Aged.
Whalen's terrorism extends be-
yond the portals of the store. A
short time before the Christmas
period he sent letters out to all the
workers who had sold their entire
lives for miserable weekly dole to
Wanamakers, and were now "re-
tired" on an even more miserable
pension, kindly "asking" them to
report to the store during the rush
weeks to accommodate the increased
number of purchasers. Evidently,
the tone of the letter was threaten
ing, because all Of the retired work
ers had reported, with the excep-
ton of a few who could not move
their feet anymore after a lifetime
of toiD and had slaved during the
Christmas period without pay. A
bonus, or commission on their petty
sales, was all they received. Many
of these old workers were still in the
store, although the holiday rush had
somewhat abated, and expected to
continue to toll gratis for a few
more weeks, not daring to refuse or
protest for fear that their pensions,
81 or So per week, all they had to
exist on now, after so years or so
of toll here, would be discontinued.
And all this had been carried out
under the supervision of Grover
Whalen, whose task now is, pre-
sumably, to exterminate those who
live off the toll of others.
