Rail profits and diVidCtlds

The profit figures for 1913, 1913
and 1920 are deceptive because dur
ing government operation the policy
of the administration was to guaran-
tee fixed rental in place of raising
rates to- correspond with the increase
in prices and wages. Including the
government guarantee, railroad pro-
fits were $906,500,O0O in 1918, $685.
100000 in 1919 and $789,OOO,00O in
1920. Altogether in the last Is years
the railroad owners have received
profits totaling more than $13,OOO,-
100000.
The year 1927 has been character
lied by new efficiency records devel-
oped to counterbalance the wage
increase won by railroad employees.

Labor Defense Warns
of Danger

Warning that the sentencing of
Bella Kun to three months in jail may
be only another ruse designed to IA
cilitate his extradition to fascist
Hungary, the New York section Of
the International Labor Defense, in
a statement issued last night, calls
upon all workers not to cease their
agitation for his immediate release.
The statement, signed by Rose
Baron, secretary Of the section
says: "The sentencing Of Bella Kun,
leader of the Hungarian proletarian
revolution, to three months in prison,
Of which he has one month to serve,
must not become the signal for the
cessation Of agitation for his imme-
diate release. The workers who
have been tricled so often by the
Justice of the capitalist courts must
not allow themselves to be the vic
Tins of any new ruse that will leave
the way open for extraditing Kun to
fascist Hungary where his murder is
certain"

HOSTILE COURT
Allege Torture Used in
Jail

CONSTANTfNOPLE, June 20
Trial of seven alleged Communists
two Of them women, has been begun
here by the Angora government. The
seven workers are accused of partici-
pating in May Day activities which
were harshly restricted by the Tur-
kish police.
Attempts of the state to prove that
the workers took part in the distur-
Dances in January in connection with
the unrest among tobacco workers
have failed. The government, how
ever, charges that the present defend
ants were among those who chalked
Long Live Lenin!" on the walls of
the state tobacco warehouse, and
distributed Communist literature to
the tobacco workers..
The Turkish press, and smaller
papers in other languages, are en-
gagged in spreading wild accounts of
the seven workers now on trial. The
Angora government has shown itself
savage in its repression of Turkish
workers, especially in the tobacco in
dustry and it is expected that every
effort viii be made to give the seven
workers long jail terms.
It is alleged that they have been
tortured to obtain confessions.

APPEAL SENTENCE OF
ITALIAN COMMUNISTS

MILAN, June 29.-The counsels
for the defense in the trial of the
leaders Of the Italian Communist
Farty have entered an appeal against
the verdict of the special court at
Rome, and have applied to the SUI
preme military court and the court
quashing judgments.
The appeal is substantiated by
numerous formal errors, and by the
fact that legal rights have been ex-
ceeded
The law upon which the special
court is based does not permit Of an
appeal so that the counseis for the
defense are not demanding a revision
of Judgment, but simply the quash-
ing Of the verdict. 1t is stated that
Mussolini himself will deal with the
question.

PARIS, June 29.-While President
Poincare whipped himself into a fury
of futile indignation and the conserv-
alive benches roared and shouted in

radical deputies who have made a
temporary alliance with them, the
Communists yesterday continued to
demand the release of the imprisoned
