MORE THAN so HURT

BV United Press
MOUNDS, Ill, Aug, Sat least
ten persons were believed killed
and more than fifty injured today
in a side-swipe wreck and derail-
ment of two Illinois Central pass
enger trains north of here.
Among the known dead was L. A.
brennan, NATION, Ill, express
messenger on the Chicago to-New
orleans limited. The other train in
the wreck was the Memphis-to-
st. Louis Chickasaw, crack night
flyer.
The wreck was said by trainmen
to have been caused by an iron pipe
obstruction on the south bound
right of way.
Warning Is Phoned
The enginemen on passenger
train No. 2O3, Louisville to Jack
son, Tenn, first saw the iron pipe,
stopped and telephoned warming
ahead to the Chickasaw, which was
advised at Cairo. Word could not
be sent to the south bound New Or
leans train in time.
The pipe measured "a inches in
diameter and was 20 feet long, the
yardmaster here said.
Between fifty and sixty of the in
iured were taken to the ST. Mary's
Hospital at Cairo, sixteen miles
south of the scene of the wreck.
Twenty eight of the injured were
Negroes, the hospital reported. One
woman lost an arm. while several
suffered broken limbs.
The pipe obstruction was believed
to have fallen from a freight which
passed over the route during the
night.
Search Sleeping Cars
Wrecking crews were sent to the
scene from Cairo and Fulton, KY.
In addition to brennan, the body
of a man believed to be Joe Denny,
30, of Omaha, and that of an I'M
identified white woman were taken
from the wreckage. Three uni
Identified Negro women also we're
killed.
Wreckers we're searching several
overturned sleeping cars for three
or more bodies believed pinned in
the berths. Seven cars of the
Memphis to-St. Louis and ten cars
of the Chicago-New Orleans linn
tied we're derailed.
Uninjured passengers on the
Chickasaw were rerouted to st.
Louis on another train.
Identification of the dead was
hampered by lack of clothing, as
most of the victims were trapped
in their berths. The man believed
to be Denny and the unidentified
white woman died on the way to
the Cairo hospital.

Farmers Consume More Wheat
In Russia

Freedom of the Russian farmer
from the old landlord domination,
achieved by the revolution. is a boon
to the American farmer. The Russian
FARMER now consumes the bulk OF the
gram which he produces and so 25O,
million to S75 million bushels of wheat
have been removed from the world
market. Before the revolution this
huge Russian export surplus helped
to depress the price the American
farmer received.
This is apparent from statement
by Joseph Stain, Soviet chief, as re-
ported by Walter Duranty In the New
York Times. A similar change has oc-
Cured in ONE parts of central EurOne.
Wherever the upheavel following the
war removed parasitical upper class
the food producers can now enjoy the
food which they produce. They need
not starve in the midst of plenty.
Before the war;" writes Duranty,
"one-half of the annual production
came from the big estates OF the rich
peasants. Two-fifths of this was sur
plus available for urban needs and eX-
port. The remaining half was pro-
duced by the rest of the peasants who
consumed seven-eighths of their crop
themselves. Now the big estates and
the rich peasants produce only one
eighth of the total, the remaining rs

coming from the peasants who, as be.
fore the war, consume almost all OF
their product.
"Of Russia's 125 million peasants
100 million before the war were so
poor that they lived literally from
hand to mouth. Then they were RAJ
toned down to one-half of the annual
grain production and in a good year
they existed miserably and in bad
year they starved. Now instead of
half they get six-sevenths of the crop.
This may help to explain why the
peasants, though grumbling like farm
ers everywhere over the low priced
grain and high priced goods, will sup
port the soviet regime to the death
if need be-"
The steadily improving position of
the Russian working class also means
increased domestic consumption of
Russian grain. Purchasing power is
placed where it does the most good
Thus the ability of Russian producers
to enjoy a more adequate share oil
their products is the real explanation
of the partial elimination of Russian
wheat exports from the world market
When producers the world over secure
the right to consume the bulk of what
they produce the problem of protec
ton against cut-throat competition OF
] a world scale will be eliminated.

The strengthening of the investment
chains holding Canada to the Ameri-
can financial empire is shown in a u.
S. department of commerce report en-
titled The American Canadian Finan-
cial Frontier. The title is misleading
for the figures indicate that any from
tier has been all but eliminated so far
as the investment bankers are con-
cerned.
The total investment of U. S. cap
ital in Canada now exceeds that of all
other nations combined, including
Great Britain. This is a great change
since 1914 when British investment in
Canada exceeded that of the United
States more than four times over.
The preliminary estimate of the FL
nancial Post Year Book of Canadian
business for 1923 places the total of
Canadian securities owned in the u.
S. at $3,031 100000 compared with
S417 100000 in 1914. In the same in

Is it alone where freedom is, where God is God and

Doth he not claim broader span for the souls love of

Oh, yes his fatherland must be as the blue heaven

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
By LAURENCE TODD. Fed. Press.

Washington (FP)-C. C. WI, for
mer mayor of Canton, former foreign
minister of the Marking government,
now receives a daily procession of
callers at his comfortable suite in the
Wardman Park hotel in Washington,
and mildly rebukes the American gov
eminent for its failure to make good
its pledge of Chinese independence
and sovereignty, as solemnly set
forth in the Washington Nine Power
Treaty of 1922.
While Chang Tso-Lin and his Man
chu forces have been driven out of
northern China, and the Nationalist
government has become master of
Tientsin and Picking, the Importance
OF DIR. WI has risen. He is unoffi-
clal minister from China to Washing
ton. Tomorrow he may claim recog-
milton as the official envoy. He has
seen and talked with Secretary Kel-
logg, and now both sides have settled
down to a waiting game. Kellogg
waits to see whether the Nationalist.
by internal quarrels, will not give him
an excuse for postponing recognition
OF the government at Marking. WI
wants to see how far the Chinese ma
tlonal boycott of japanese goods must
proceed before the United States will
suggest to Japan that the Japanese
are violating Chinese sovereignty in
Manchuria. Recognition of Marking
Is not very important to China's new
envoy just now; putting the State
department on record as to Manchu-
ria is the important thing.
When asked whether the Nankino
government proposes to adopt a mod
ern labor code, relieving Chinese
workers from the terrible exploitation
Cney now suffer at the hands of for
elgn and native capitalists alike, WI
was cautious. He agreed that the
NaIlonal1st program was officially one
OF social reforms, especially as to
the condition of the masses of work
erS. However, he said China's great
INDUSTRIAL resource is her cheap labor:
Win this she must compete with the
modern machinery of western nations.
90 II the Chinese are to survive. in
tne economic field, they must not
make such extreme changes in hours
ana wages of labor as to destroy their
Industries.
Here speaks the rich merchant and
manufacturer class of central and
southern China that seized control of
the Nationalist armies and the Kuo
mlntang party last vera by means of
the military coup of Chang Kai-shek
Before that time the armies and the
party were instruments of a great
wave of sentiment for industrial and
social revolution. Millions of work
ers. were organized into labor unions.
and they became the best volunteer
fighters in the revolutionary advance
northward. WI the radical became Wa
the conservative. But now that the
whole of China has come under Ma
tionalist sway the demands of the
workers are again being heard, so
that WI may once more be found
stepping over to the standard of So
cial unrest.
This Chinese working-class problem
becomes the more interesting to Am
erican workers because of the swift
approach of labor warfare in Germany
and its probable echoes throughout
, central Europe and the Balkans. Ger
many's business men have been
squeezing the very life-blood out of
the factory-hands, raiiroaders' miners
and general laborers Tor the past ten
