of Art
He was brought to New York from
Bermuda by the British cruiser Durham.

was met at the pier by Sir Esme How
ar, British Ambassador at Washing
ton; other British officials and Prem
tiss Gilbert of the Department OF State,
representing President Coolidge.

bassador to the Court of St. James.
The rest of the time he spent in

crowds that surged along the sidewalks
of New York.
Throng Waits at Pier.
A crowd greeted him at the pier or
his arrival and several thousand per-
sons were on hand to see him sail, but
aside from that he got no more atten-
ton than any other lieutenant in his
maiestys service would have been given
A statement was issued to the press
in which it was said that the prince
himself had decided on the journey
home; that he had not been called. :.
He will finish his 4.500-mile trip. Il

tConIlnued from FlrSt PageD
While there are few present indications
that Bolivia will drop its. demand for
moral reparations," any act by that
government which would aggravate the
situation or bring about an armed clash
on the border would place her in the
position of opposing the efforts of sis
ter republics to maintain peace.
Meanwhile the special committee ap-
pointed by the conference, of which DR..
Victor NJ. Maurtua of Peru is the chair
man, Is held intact under the resolu-
ton adopted yesterday and will con-
tinue to extend its cooperation to the
main body. When replies are received
from the two nations, they will be pre-
sented to the general conference prob
ably at a plenary session.
Since it began its sessions here Mon
day the Pan-American conference has
done little but await the result of the
Paraguayan- Bolivian dispute. Until the
crisis has passed and peace insured the
conference is likely to continue marking
time.

~-- ORA Ma
Story of Evolution Pictured
IN Daring NeW German Film
ORA MA

THE most daring INN ever shown to
the German public was recently
shown in Berlin The picture was re-
leased by the Ufa Company, as a spe-
cial feature. This is Love and Ma
ture, the story of evolution from
the cell to the human being" Nature
is regarded as directed by two forces
only, love and hunger. From the
thesis laid down by Haeckel, the di-
rector, DR.. Ullrich Schultz has taken
pictures from various medical, scien-
tific, and geological films, inter-
spersed them with a few trick pic
lures, and shown the continuity of
movement in nature, from the first
currents in which the lowest forms Of
life arose, up to the circulation of the
blood.
Natures relentless will to .propa-
gate the species is demonstrated not
only by the amorous wooing Of the
turtle dove, but by the strange court
ing Of spiders and snails, rising
throughout Nature to the fights of
the male stag. The different stages
of embryonic life are shown, as well
as the earliest phases Of mans de-
velopment towards a civilised being.
Besides jewellers on lake piles and in
caves, we are shown cultured CHM
panzees and unhappy human freaks
known to international science.
The German censor, generally
rigidly averse to young people under
eighteen visiting the cinema, has
passed this picture for those under
that age, possibly believing that the
biological knowledge now impaired in
classrooms may be more effectively
taught in this way. No other country
is likely to accept certain of the
medical pictures as they stand, but
the whole attempt is on such fine
scale that the film with these few
examinations deserves worldwide no.

burgess of Old Forge who apparently
is on the outs with the county au-

A newspaper reporter discovered

worked overtime all day trying to
prevent him from telling his story to

some quarters the reporter was
threatened with death. The many

purity itself.
And what about the southside door

very small for such big structure

REvOL vERS STUCK
IN MINERS BACKS
IN TERROR REIGN
Anthracite Men Ready
to Gust Cappelini
(By a Worker Correspoudcnt)

by a Worker Correspondent
@PITTSTON, Pa, (By MaiD.-We
held a meeting of the Local Union
1881 of No. IA colliery of the Pennsyl-
vania Coal Co. last week. Over 1900
miners attended the session. The
miners came ready prepared to over
throw the reactionary officials who
are led by Cardoni and Andrew No
yak, contractors of that colliery.
Thru the terrorizing of the miners
and thru the police protection which
they received, the machine was able
to block the attempt of the rank and
file to get control of local union 1881,
tho the fact is that the miners have
not given up the struggle and now
are more determined to fight in the
local union and overthrow the officers
in the end.
The Save-the- Union Movement has
been leading this fight in and around
the Pittston territory and has been
succeeding in the struggle. The only
reason that they did not succeed this
meeting was because the contractors
stuck guns, that is revolvers in the
backs of some of our militant leaders.
They also prevented some of the lead
ing fellows from attending the meet
ing by not letting them into the hall
and getting the police to keep them
out Then also when the militant
miners from 1903 arrived to help
them in overthrowing the contractors
they had the police hold one on no
charges whatsoever.
John Salvo was the one that was
held Another miner was thrown
down the steps. The Tri-District
Save-the- Union Committee is deter
mined that all the contractors shall
be thrown out of the Pittston terri
tory.
Pittston Local Union 1903 started
work on the 30th of April when the
was forced with the district
led by Cappelini to recognize
James Lamarca docking boss, and
Frank McGarry checkweighman. Tho
the miners were reluctant to go back
to work yet it was under the orders
of the mayor that no meeting could
be called to explain the situation and
Frank McGarry posted up notices
that everybody had to return to work.
It is doubtful if the miners would
have returned to work if the mayor
would have permitted meeting.

POLITICAL PARTY
EXPLOITS LABOR
Men Work for So a Day
and @ 7-Day Week
(Bu a Worker CORRESPONDENT

(By a Worker Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Calf, (By MaiD
One of the major political parties
here employed about one hundred
workers. Most of these 100 got their
jobs thru an employment agency
which took 80 per cent of their en-
tire earnings. The tlpists got 81 per
8-hour day and Sc per 12-hour day.
Which means that they worked eight
hours day for themselves and four
hours a day for the employment
agency.
Those who stuffed, sealed and
packed envelopes carrying political
propaganda got So per 8 hours and
$3.50 per - hours, $3.50 of which
went to the employment agency. Not
only did they work II hours a day
but they worked seven days a week.
No overtime allowance was made fo1
Sunday work. How can a powerful
political power dare to work people
for II hours day and seven days
week, paying only SO and $4 per day
right before election time?
Evidently they don't give damn
for the workers vote-or-O yes, the
forelady gave orders to shut up about
overtime work-"for WE might get
in trouble" she pleaded.
There must have been some kind
of labor law that was violated. But
what is that to a powerful political
party that depends on labor for the
votes only? And, what are votes so
long as the dollar is always forth
coming? Or has the dollar ceased to
come so readily since the Teapot
Dome scandal?
