Power Trust Paid Club
Woman $500 a Month

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 22.-
Mrs. John D. Sherman, former pres
ident Of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, was paid $500 a
month by the Power Trust during
the last two years she was in office,
or total of s14,400, it was revealed
in hearings conducted by the Federal
Trade Commission.
Home Surveys"
Mrs. Sherman wrote articles at
the instance of the National Elec-
trio Light Association in a part of
the trusts propaganda called "home
surveys" The League of Women
Voters at the time were making in
Quiries about the high cost of cleo
tricity. Mrs. Sherman's successor,
Mrs. John Sippel, wants to continue
these friendly relations with the
trust which were so lucrative to Mrs.
Sherman.
1t is thought by some that Mrs.
Sippel would be willing to derive
money for signed articles extolling
the virtues of the trust.

amount of ammunition and food

that the Wall Street mercenaries
suffer, the marines are ordered to
destroy and assassinate entire fam

After the retreat of the American

with those of his army, to the hun

does every one of his disciplined SOL
diers, that only by the action of the

from foreign invasion. The struggle
will go on until the complete liberia

Wall Street Signs for

ATHENS, Greece, Oct. 22.-Fhe
signing of a S30,O00,000 contract
for irrigation and land improve
ment between the Greek government
and the American firm of Ulen &
Co. and Monks, which was revealed
today by the Ministry of commune
cations, marks another step forward
in the penetration of American cap
ital in Greece.
The irrigation works will be con-
structed in the Struma Valley, which
is north of Saloniki and west Of
Philippi, and the marshes of Philip
pi and Thessaly are to be drained.
The Seligman interests of New York
will finance the undertaking.
Since American capital has been
playing an increasingly important
role in the politics of Greece, where
it is reported to be clashing with
French interests, any growth of
American influence here will have
an influence on Mediterranean poll
tics, it is believed.
There are also indications that
American investments will be pro-
tected as long as Venezuelos holds
the upper hand, as was evidenced
by the part he played in breaking
the strike of the workers in the
American controlled tobacco indus
try recently.

ANTI HNPERLALLSTS GET
GREETINGS OF SANDING

The United States Section of
the All-American Anti-Imperialist
League has just received a COM
munication from an envoy sent by
the organization to General August
Cesar SANDING, head of the army of
liberation in Nicaragua, against
American imperialist invasion in
that country.
The letter is dated Ell Chipoton,
Nicaragua. Written in the head
quarters of Sandino's army, it re-
veals the truth about the situation
in Nicaragua and the horrors the
American marines are causing to
the innocent workers and peasants
of Nicaragua.
The envoy has been and is at
present with General SANDING since
June %, 1928, and he has had OPP
portunity to witness how the "army
of outlaws and bandits" as called
by the capitalist press, is function
ing. SANDING and his army, accord
ing to this letter, are consciously
fighting the invaders. The army is
well equipped, disciplined and fights
valiantly the coward enemy on the
other side of the camp.
Military operations against the
invaders are made in the most en-
ergetic manner" the report says.
The loss suffered by the American
army of invasion is great, constantly

Many rank and file miners have al

cause of their loyalty to the left

New frame-ups are in the making.
We have a whole series of cases
arising from the recent strike to
defend.
"The capitalist court of Washing

ing Carboni, who admittedly muir
dered George Moran, of Bentleyville,
an outstanding National Miners
Union leader, and wounding two
others. At the "inquest" which was

breaking this police department is.
These police, in collision with the
Lewis bandits, slugged, beat and ar
rested 200 delegates. The many new
frame-ups and those of the past
demonstrate the attitude of the CAPT
talist state.
Wholesale Evictions.
"The coal operators undertake
wholesale evictions. NThe Harmon
Crook Coal Company, with extern
sive holdings in West Virginia, leads
this fight, supported by other COM
panies. 1t is only supporters of the
N. M. U. that are threatened with
evictions. Lewis spies are treated
well by this and other companies.
The operators, in collision with the
Lewis gang, are victimizing thou

Our union is called upon from many
fields for relief, legal aid and assis-
lance. We are harrassed with con-

suits of elections, mass picketing
