NICARAGUA is not the only CEN
Az trail American country that is to
have an election in which the United
States is vitality interested. On
August Panama will vote for
president and members of Congress
Since Panama is a military outpost
of U. S. imperialism any official
selected must be a puppet of the
White House and Wall Street. Little
Panama means big guns to Ameri-
can militarists. Panama, at the same
time. politically, is connected with
the present conflict in Nicaragua.
Prediction excitement is becom-
ing rife in Panama. Four "opposi
ton" leaders are in Jail charged
with threatening the "liberal" can
didate. That the insurgents are
receiving the sympathy of the
United States is proved by their in
sistence on marine intervention.
Though the candidate they oppose is
former employee Of the United
Fruit Company and tried vassal of
imperialism, their slogan is: "In-
PREVENTION or revolution!' That is to
say intervention Of marines.
U. s. Controls All Panama Area.
1t is the common belief that U. S.
control is limited to the Canal Zone.
In reality it includes a protectorate
over the entire so-called republic of
Panama definitely established by the
written constitution of the republic.
Panama Is part Of the American
Empire. Everything that happens
there Is by the instigation of i'm
perialist agents.

SW7NDLE SHEET FROM
ARGENTINE INDIANS

BUENOS AIRES, July 29.-The
chief of the Tehuelche Indians in
habiting Northern Patagonia ar
rived in Buenos Aires to ask pro-
lection Of the federal government
against the local authorities and Gin
fluential citizens" who are robbing
them of their sheep herds, their only
means of subsistence, and are driv-
ing them away from the pasture
lands, which have been reserved
since the time of the Spanish rule.
The old chief Truquel Seihuque,
has been waiting in the capital for
several weeks for an audience with
the president, but the latter has no
time yet to receive him. He gave
several interviews to the Buenos
Aires press, which published the de-
tails. He described how local police
officials rob the Indians of their
sheep by imposing fines for imagin-
airy offenses and as the Indians have
no cash money the officials confis-
cate sheep.
In this process the authorities
connive with ordinary swindlers who
obtain from the Indians thurnb-print
signatures on documents, the con-
tents Of which they never saw or
knew. To enforce these fraudulent
contracts, the sheep herds are con-
fiscated and the Indians are driven
from their land out into the desert.
The Indian chief said that If his
tribe does not receive justice from
the authorities in Buenos Aires, the
whole tribe will emigrate to Chile,

The official communication to
Goodman read, in part: I'VE are

ticles which may be brought into
U. S. S. f., in accordance with the
decree of Narkomtorg Peoples
Trade Commissariat) Of April 26,
1927, pertaining to domestic and for

ct is desirable that you advise
those who contemplate visiting Rus
STA of this decree so that they may
be guided accordingly" Instruc-
tions to advise the press was con-
tanned in the communication.
Goodman said that the reason for
the issuance of a tabulated list of
what the tourist may bring into Rus
STA was to prevent smuggling and
save, the tourist custom charges.
He stated that under the present
ruling the tourist visiting Russia is
allowed more personal effects than
the average traveller would care to
carry. In the matter of clothing,
he said, four suits were allowed,
four coats, including one fur coat;
ten dresses, twelve skirts, twelve
Buits of underwear, eighteen shirts;

False Claim.
With this introduction, they claim
consequently to represent most

whether the Pan-American Fedora
ton of Labor" is only a central or
ganizstion representing the North
American wclkingmen, or whether
it is an international institution
with representation in all the
American countries"
Thus it seems that the fame of
the Pan-American Federation of
Labor, which clair't to represent ths
labor movement Of the American
hemisphere. has reached the "most
genuinely national labor movement"

y. S. Imperialism Fhps a Coin in Panama

One of the candidates for the

American family, Jorge E. Boyd
now in the United States undoub-
tedly getting the approval of his
U. S. masters. 1t is the representa-

asking for marine supervision of the
Panama elections.
The Porissta Party derives its
name from Belisario Porras, for

Panama is comfortably in the

Last month the National City

The U. S. S. R. is trying to build up
its home industries and if it allowed
tourists to glut the market with

THE papers publish as news the
report that the state Federation
of Labor would support Al Smith
when it meets next month. This is
almost like saying that Tammany
Hall would endorse Tammany Hall.
The New York trade union move
ment is in Tammany's pocket and
will take orders. 1t is said that AL
intends to send the New York labor
takers all over the country enlisting
the trade unions on his side. This
should be a good year for labor
leaders who look on the trade union
movement as something to loot and
barter for personal favors and
emoluments.

COAL INDUSTRY

LONDON, England, April 26.--To-
day, two years after the first gen.
eral strike in British history. which
II directly precipitated. the British
coal-mining industry is In an even
worse condition
This is the agreed verdict OF
mine owners and mine workers
alike, a verdict which Is Endorsed
by the reports Of government and
trade union commissions which
have investigated the l6-yeac-old
problem of how to revivify this APP
parently dying British industry.
Unemployment is rife. wages
have been reduced to the minimum.
and altogether the position In the
big mining areas is agreed OH all
sides to be little short. of appalling.
Many Pits Closed
In many Of the big mining fields,
particularly South Wales. Durham,
and Northumberland. numbers Of
pits have been closed Tor long
periods, and there Is no alternative
employment; nor Is there any hope
that sufficient pits viii reUpen to
give employment to anything like
the number Of men and OOys now

According to the latest available
ministry of labor statistics. there
are a quarter of q million miners
idle the large majority OF whom are
without prospect Of any WORK IN the
