Club TO GIVE
DINNER DANCE
FOR CHARITY

The Club Recreativo announces that
there will be a dinner and dance at
the Crystal Palace in Aqua Prieta on
next Saturday evening, Feb. 4, for the
purpose of raising funds for charity. A
genuine Mexican dinner will be serv-
ed to all con1ers who wish to aid in
the charitable work of the club The
dinner hour will be from p m. until
$50 p. m. at which time dancing will
start and continue until the crowds
are satisfied.
This club is an international organi-
cation being composed both of Douglas
and Aqua PrieJa residents interested
in assisting the needy. Through their
efforts poor children in the Douglas
schools and in the Aqua Prieta schools
both north and south of the border
are fed and sheltered.
During the holidays just past more
than $400 was expended by this club
for Christmas gifts for little children
and for food and clothing for all sorts
of people in need. Little has been
said about their work because it has
been the policy of the club to give
silently The affair next Saturday eve
ming will not be the first at the Crystal
Palace.
During the past few weeks the club
has given a number of dances at the
Palace for the raising of funds and
the great success of these affairs has
caused them to decide to add a dinner
to the list of attractions

members of the Italian Communist
Party, many of them members Of the
Central Executive Committee, were
sentenced to terms of imprisonment
ranging from six to twenty-seven
years after a secret trial which start
ed last week, according to informa-
ton received here. Among those sen
fenced by the fascist terrorists are
such leaders as Gramschi and Terra

their lives to the struggles Of the
working class.
Terracini was sentenced TO twenty
seven years. Imprisonment, while
Gramschi, editor of the Ordine Nuovo,
was sentenced to seventeen years
Imprisonment.
Altho the trial was held in absolute
secrecy, reliable reports received here
declare that statements by Terracini,
Rebo and Scoccimaro, other accused
working class leaders, showed that the
indictments against them were
groundless. The witnesses were all
police agents. When the agents were
called upon to produce proofs, they

FARMERS''REvOLT'
UNDER CONTROL
GOES REPUBLICAN
Mellon Silent AS Hoover
Organizes
Especial to the Daily Worker)

(Spectdt to the DGny WorHefJ
KANSAS CITY, June 6.-By the
time the republican national conven-
ton opens here the so-called farm re-
volt will be under the control of safe
republicans, developments here in the
convention city indicated today.
When President Coolidge vetoed
the second McNary- Haugen farm re-
lief bill and congress sustained the
veto, farmer opposition developed
against the Coolidge administration
and the republican party. The op-
position was directed equally against
the presidential candidacy of Herbert
Hoover, the big business secretary of
commerce. Newspaper reports were
highly charged for few days with
predictions of tented city" of farm
ers bivouacked in a rebellious mood
outside the republican convention,
come there to stick their pitch-forks
into the Hoover boom.
This farmer movement has been de-
rallied. Sen. James E. Watson, of In
diana, himself a candidate for the
observer of the wishes of the indus
trialists and financiers, is chairman
of the committee which will draft the
farm plank in the republican plat
form. Elmer E. Bills, of Chicago,
chosen at an agriculturalist meeting
in Chicago last week to act as inn
presario for the farm protest here
had come to terms today with the
old line republicans, including Wat
son. The nature of the terms may
be indicated by Bills own pronounce
ments on the status and plans of the
movement he represents. The farm
er has been told to leave his pitch
fork at home. It was never intended
that the tenant farmer or agricul-
tural wage Garner who really weilds
the pitchfork in producing Americas
food would be present.
Business Men.
''The farmers are business men,"
Bills said today. "They will drive
their own automobiles to Kansas City
to make an orderly protest against
being left out on the protection
scheme arranged for big industries"
This particular farm movement, in
other words, is in control of the
Grange organization and other groups
of the wealthy employing farmers,
together with politicians from the
agricultural states, like Sen. Watson,
who have used the interest of the
farmers as stepping stone to per-
sonal power and gain,

TAMMANY CRAFT
STILL ON TAP

The same horses which won with
such extraordinary regularity for
William J. Oswald, indicted district
superintendent of the street cleaning
department, were again trotted in yes
terday to account for the grating
activities of Charles A. McGee, former
assistant superintendent Of the Bronx
who with Oswald is on trial for forg-
cry and grand larceny in the Bronx
county court.
MCGEE testified yesterday that when
William J. Lougheed, self-confessed
CRATER and witness for the state,
turned over the regular payments to
him, he like Oswal5 was impressed
with the 'fine system that Lougheed
had perfected" but he never doubted
that the horses rather than the padded
payrolls were bringing home the
bacon.
MCGEE admitted that when he
played the ponies on his own account,
which he has been doing since 1920,
his luck was indifferent at best, but
was willing to believe that Lougheed
had "an extraordinary handicapping
ability" The Tammany graft total

COMMUNISTS TO

TICKET SUNDAY
Delegates From Al.
Parts to Attend

In the heart of the "empire state, -
the home of the corrupt Tammany
Hall machine, the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party will hold its State Nom
mating Convention Sunday at 10 a. m.
at the new Workers Center, 1928
Union Square.
According to an announcement by
the campaign committee, this conven-
tion proposes to launch a campaign
which is to be definite challenge to
the forces of Tammany Hall in this
state as well as to the equally corrupt
forces Of the republican party.
In view of the fact that New York
state will provide at least one presi-
Dental candidate this year, the con-
vention assumes particular import
ance.
Delegates to the convention are
coming from all sorts of working
class organizations, including labor
unions, fraternal organizations and
clubs. The convention will take up,
in addition to the general work of the
campaign, the specific aims of the
campaign in this state in the field of
social legislation. Nominations will
also be made for governor, lieutenant
governor, attorney-general, United
States senator and other state offices.
All working class organizations
have been urged to send fraternal
delegates.

MORE THOUSANDS
Half Million in Effort
at 7c Fare

Expenditures of sums aggregating
over half a million of dollars and
which may total as high as three
quarters of a million are now in pro-
gress by the Interborough Rapid
Transit in anticipation Of favorable
decision of the seven-cent fare issue
now before the federal courts, it was
learned yesterday.
The Interborough is spending sew
eral hundred thousands to have the
subway and elevated lines appraised,
in the certainty that the courts will
appoint the usual special master to
take evidence in the case. Three ex-
pert firms have been employed for
this purpose, one of accountants, one
of engineers and third of real estate
operators. The work was started late
in February and has been going on
ever since.
Several hundred thousand win be
the sums expended for legal services,
it was learned. William L. Ransom,
the special attorney hired by the In
terborough to fight the case for the
increased fare win receive perhaps
$150,000 before the issue is decided.
The Interborough is planning to go
into an extensive advertising cam
paign, it has been learned, similar to
the one it engaged in 1912 at the time
it was trying to win over sentiment
against the municipal operation of
