GIRL WOULD SELL
SELF FOR FAMILY
Poverty Forces Her TO
Marry for Money

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July %
(UP).-Beatrice Albert, 10, who of
fered to sell herself in marriage in
order to provide for her poverty
beset family, was embarrassed to-
day by complications resulting from
the offer.
Beatrice thought her family
troubles were over when w. W.
Goynes, 80, Spanish war veteran,
came forward and said he would paw
her parents and brother $4,000 if
she would marry him.
Goynes had the $4,000 all ready,
but the family Beatrice hoped to
benefit has divided three ways in
advising her as to her course.
If she marries Goynes, Beatrice's
mother says she never will speak to
her daughter again.
If she doesn't marry Goynes, her
T2-year-old father asserts she will
lose all his respect.
If she contracts any auction mar
rage whatever, her brother won't
take any of the money.
Increasing Beatrice's plight,
Goynes has cooled somewhat in his
ardor and says .bluntly that another
solution is open to her-she can go
to work and support her folks.
Apparently firing Of her hest
fancy, Goynes is pressing his sug-
gestion by offering to permit her
parents and brother to continue liv-
ing rent-free in one of his cottages
if she will get a job.
Beatrice, indicating what she
may decide, says now that money
isn't everything"

MINERS CRISIS
IN AUSTRALIA
Coal Barons Launch
Drive on Union
By W. FRANCIS AHERN.

SYDNEY (FP).-The coal indus
try in Australia is in a serious crisis
The principal factors are override
velopment during the war, introduc-
ton of substitutes for coal, general
depression.
The crisis is part of the interna-
tional coal crisis. The principal har-
vest the workers reap is unparalleled
unemployment. This crisis in the in
dustrysis reflected in a deep crisis
in the Miners Union. A special con-
vention of delegates from all dis
tricts has been called.
1t is admitted that reorganization
of the union is necessary. Request
ing and attending conferences under
the auspices of the government is
considered dangerous experiment,
The coal barons are aggressively
attempting to lower the conditions
of the miners and to cut wages. This
the mine workers are strenuously
opposing, and at various meetings
held on the coal fields they have
decided to resist.

PHILIPPINES FOR

MANILA, Philippine Island (By

dahao and acquisition of large es-
tates by Americans was advocated
by the governor-general of Philip
pines, H. L. Stimson, at the opening
session of the new legislature. He
explained to the representatives Of
the Philippine people that their eco
nonic misfortunes are due to alb
sence Of large landholding. He said:
"At the present rate with which
The agricultural land of these islands
is being distributed among their
people it will be 400 years before
that great asset, that great guardian
Of the peoples stability, is fully put
to USE"
He recommended such revision of
the laws governing the creation and
regulation of corporations, and the
flaws under which capital comes in
contact with government" be re-
vised $50 as to insure the people
who are willing to lend money to you
that the enterprise in which they in
vest will be fairly, justly and equi-
tably treated by your public officials
and that the title of the securities
which the investors receive in ex-
change for their money viii be sound
and safe"
Stimson explained to the Filipinos
that their own way to independence
and liberty is to hand the country
over to American capitalists. He
told them how the United States 140
years ago were so poor that it had
to borrow money to develop the
country and It's resources, how with
out foreign money the United States
would still be in a primitive state
and poor and. ."is America in
economic serfdom to these countries
today?" he asked. Stimson described
to the legislators how beneficial the
influx Of American capital was to
Cuba, Panama and Hawaii and that
the Philippines had the brightest fu-
ture before them if they would abol-
ish the antiquated laws preventing
the formation of large estates and
hampering American capital. He ex-
planned that "by exciting an un-
founded fear" the opponents Of
American capitalist Imperialism
would block the only avenue to-
wards economic and therefore po-
litical independence of these is
lands" In other words, the Filipinos
according to Stimson, will get their
independence if they sell their coun-
try to American capital.
He finished by assuring the lis
teners:
"I believe that American capital
has learned the unwisdom and the
danger of attempting unfairly to
exploit the land in which it enters"

u. S. MAKES REVOLT"
TO GAIN OIL FIELDS

The creation of new republic
in the north of South America, to
be formed of the state of Zuilia, of
Venezuela and the Colombian de-
partments of Santander and Goagira
is discussed by certain revolution
airy" elements in these districts of
the two countries. These districts
are those which contain almost all
the oil fields of Colombia and Vene-
zuela. The adherents of this pro-
posed oil republic of Zulia of which
Maracasbo is part intend to abol-
ish all restrictions on the exploita-
ton and expectation of oil by for
eigners and hope, in compensation
to obtain early recognition and sup
port of their independence" by the
financial powers mostly interested in
the exploitation of these districts.
Would Profit u. S.
Up to the present the financial
interests of Great Britain In Vene-
zuela and Colombia are considerably
larger than those of the United
States. Consequently revolution"
detaching these provinces from the
two mother countries and the early
recognition by the United States
would mostly profit the United
States, to the detriment of the Brit
ish interests. The growth of the oil
production of Venezuela has been
extraordinary. 1t has doubled every
year since 1919. 1t produced 1885,
900 barrels of oil in 1919, 1,40O, 900
in 1921, 100000 in 1922, 100000
in 1928, 100000 in 1924, $4,000, 900
in 1927 and 117,000,000 are calcu-
lated for the year 1928.
The British oil explorations in
Colombia and Venezuela, due to
their proximity to the Panama Canal.
are a menace to imperialist inter
ests of the United States. BY the
creation of an independent oil re-
public of Zulia, under American con-
troll British influence might be more
easily I6IuOVGQ. 4 he dCIuAl SOV6T-
nor of Zulia is said to have received
assurance from resident Americans
that in case of a revolution which
would proclaim the independence of
Zulia from Venezuela, the new re-
public would receive all protection
from the United States. The Vene-
zuelan government has repeatedly
denied that there is any such move
ment for independence. Neverthe-
less, circulars and proclamations in
this sense, describing all the advan-
tages of such change, are being cir
culated.
The militant labor elements are
watching this conflict of the two
imperialisms in their countries, with
out taking sides with any of the
parties, but they expose in their
secret but widely circulated publica-
tions the coming conflict and the
role the workers should assume in
such emergency.

will again resort to terroristic &C
ton" they will bring mass arrests
down upon themselves.
In spite of the terror of the gov
crnment the strike continues.
In Saloniki large meeting was

the police. In spite OF that the
workers appeared in masses at the
appointed place. The police had or
ders that all corners and streets
leading to the meeting place be
heavily guarded, and that at pinch

dence of the workers saved them
from a heavy blood bath.

eral mobilization of all members to

are needed, it is commencing to look
as though Ohio is going to go over
the top with a rush.
Sidewalks-of-New- AL Smith

million dollar campaign fund. Too
bad there can be only one campaign
manager. Otherwise we might sug-
gest the appointment of a couple
more Wall Street money-bags in ad-
dition to Raskob of J. P. Morgan,
General Motors, and the republican
party.
Seems to us the situation looks
somewhat awkward for the AL
phonse and CASTOR parties of Wall
Street Being a republican and at
the same time the Smith campaign
manager, does Mr.. Raskob, the re-
publican, intend to vote the repub-
lican ticket except for president, or
is Mr.. Raskob, campaign manager,
going to vote straight democratic +?
Wonder if he knows or cares.
Will Smith get his official three
million? That amt the problem.
