Mr.. Calvin Coolidge,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr.. President:
According to dispatches of today
Jan. 81 from Managua, my son.
Sergt. John F. Hemphill, was killed
in action against Gen. Sandino's
loyal troops.
For the death of my son hold nc
malice or i'll will toward Gen. SANDING
or any of his men, for / think (and
/ believe 80 per cent of our people
agree with me) that they are today
fighting for their liberty as our fore
fathers fought for our liberty in 1776
and that we, as nation, have no
legal or moral right to be numbering
those liberty loving people in war
of aggression. What we are doing is
nothing less than murder for the sole
purpose of keeping in power a puppet
president and acting as a collector for
Wall Street, which is certainly against
the spirit and letter of the constitu-
ton.

JOINT BOARD FURRIERS' UNION
of Greater New York
We greet The DAILY WORKER
CT the occasion of the fourth ami
versary of it's founding In the course
of our struggles against the workers
oppressors, it has become ingrained
in our hearts and minds that The
DAILY WORKER is the only daily
in the English language that devotes
its columns to aid the workers in
their struggles for better life.
The DAILY WORKER has rem
dered invaluable service to the needle
trades workers in their struggle
against the bosses for higher stan
dards of life and in their fight against
the right wing misleaders who seek
to convert the unions from militant
weapons of struggle to mere adiuncts
of the bosses.

WAGE Cut Rejected.

Another local of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers, the Vestmakers'
Local, at a membership meeting
Wednesday night, defeated the Beck
erman representatives in that local
when they proposed that the mem
bership accept wage cut of So a

Beckerman said he couldn't see why
the vestmakers shouldn't accept a
wage slash when wages in the other
crafts had been reduced.
Unanimously defeating their man.

lance of the reduction, the members
of the local voiced their determine
ton to fight the bosses and the bur-
eaucratic union machine in order to

COMMITTEE TO

OIL DEAL PROBE
Findings on Continental
Company to Be Given
Before Adjournment.
BY RUTH FINNEY

WASHINGTON, May 25.-After
a sharp battle behind closed doors,
the Senate public lands committee
has decided to make report upon
its Continental Trading Company
investigation before adjournment of
Congress.
Republican members of the COM
mittee opposed action before adj
journment, arguing that the new
investigation into Salt Greek leases
should be completed before a re-
port is written.
Democrats, led by Senator
Thomas J. Walsh, insisted on
an immediate summary of findings
concerning the mysterious bonds
which figured so prominently in the
Republican campaign deficit, as well
as the affair of Fall and Sinclair.
Walsh finally told the committee
he had commenced preparation of
a report. If the committee had
then refused to act, Walsh could

EDITOR IN JAIL
FOR CRITICISINC
/ JUSTICE FREED
Higher Court Issues Writ
of HeabeaS Corpus;
Serves Sentence.

BG United Press
LANCASTER, Ohio, May 25.-The
bill of rights again prevails here,
with William T. Lewis, courageous
young editor of the Lancaster Gaz-
cite, back at his desk after being
jailed by a justice of the peace
E. w. Boerstler, for contempt of
court in writing an editorial.
Judge Brooks E. Shell of the
Common Pleas Court released the
editor on writ of habeas corpus
and read the law on the rights of
the press and people to criticise jul
dicial procedure.
Lewis, in an editorial, deplored
the filming man only $40 for fore
ing a woman from his car on the
highway land endangering life"
by court which would fine a man
500 or more for violating the pro.
hibition laws.
Sentenced to Jail
Although the editorial did not
mention Squire Boerstler and was
written after the case was closed,
the defendant having pleaded guilty,
Boerstler arrested the editor.
He was charged with contempt,
fined $40 and costs and sentenced to
ten days in jail
The Jail is next door to the
Gazette, so the editor during his
few hours confinement read COPY"
Given a chance to retract, he dc
clared he would neither retract nor
pay his fine. He was supported by
G. j. Beach. owner of the Gazette.
1--WE are fighting for principle
much greater than the convenience
of any pep on or single newspaper"
they asserted. I'VE will win this
case for the rights of the press and
people"
Meanwhile, Beach secured a
temporary writ Of habeas corpus,
and the editor was freed pending
hearing before Judge Shell.
No Evidence of Contempt
"a justice of the peace" Shell
ruled has only such contempt
POHC4o do d1C gwen lllILi, opSCl1lC-
ally by the statutes. For the con-
tempt of such a court, one must
have disturbed the courts procedure,
threatened the justice, or have in
terfered with a trial.
II find no mention in the edi-
torial of any particular court, but
a general criticism of judicial pro-
cedure written in a'humorous vein,
full of satire, with still a trace of
serious comment. One would not
know what court was referred to
by taking the editorial as it stands.
The editor here did not disturb the
justice court. He did not threaten
the court. He did not publish any,
thing to prejudice pending case"

Charles A. Glabau of the

Only 20 per cent of the cake

CAPIuARI1Y MAY
 BECOME NEW FORCE
Scientists Hope to Rival nec-
 ticity h Value

Baltimore. Md. Nov. 23 R- Revolutionary discoveries bearing on the scientific law of capillarity, recently achieved in the chemistry laboratory of Johns Hopkins univer- sity. have opened the way, in the opinion of some authorities. toward increased control over phenomena destined to rival electricity in their effect on civilization.
 Upsetting previously accepted con- cepts of capillarity, the very name If which is unfamiliar to most per- ions. although their lives and many industries depend upon it, Drs. J. c. W. Frazer and Walter A. Patrick. professors of chemistry, have found hat it's force is many times greater han has been thought.
 This discovery, based on careful md extensive work of Dr. Patrick on absorption. is only a partial re- sult-a preliminary conclusion"- in broad program of research by Dr. Patrick, which has been in pro-, sress for some years and will not be completed for many years to come. It is so new that the habitually and deliberately cautious world of

 Since then it has been learned that plants and animals are honey combed with innuumerable fine pores and veins known as paillary vessels, which function in the move- ment of the sap. blood and other secretions through all parts of the organisms. distributing the essential elements which sustain life and car rying away the waste.
 It also has been known for many years that charcoal. silica gel and other substances were similarly equipped with fine capillaries and would draw moisture out of the air. Not until the World War. however. did the investigation of the forces involved receive any decided stiln- ulus.
 This came through the discovery made by Dr. Patrick while working on the problem of deyising means for protecting soldiers against poi sonous gases and vapors that the deadly elements could be removed by placing such porous material in the eannisters of gas masks through which the air was drawn for breath ing.
 Charcoal made from peach pits cocoanut shells and similar sub- stances was used for that purpose. In the meantime Dr. Patrick devel- oped an economical method for making silica gel by a suitable treat ment of water glass, thus producing a practically indestructible system of extremely minute. invisible capil- laries capable of drawing uneXpect- edly large quantities of vapor par ticles from the air and holding them in liquid state until driven
