United States will be redeemed"
His declaration was applauded by
the 60 council members and fraternal
delegates who gathered from Deem
Der 9 to II to perfect organizations
plans tentatively laid when the League
was formed last February in Brus-
sells.

tackled by Salvador de la Plaza, po-
litical refugee from VENEZUELA, who
declared that the oppression which
accompanies American economic pen
etration is being challenged by rap

ment in Latin-America.
Eight cents dday is the average
wage paid to workers on American
banana plantations in Central Amer
lea, according to da la Plaza.
Another part of the world, Persia
which has remained practically "free
while economically it has been in

Party. Workers in industrial concern
there get about 20 cents for a ter

SOCIALISTS PLAN READ
ING ADMINISTRATION
By Carl Haessler. Fed. Press

by Oarl naeSSler, Fed. Press
Reading, Pa.-Four years of undls-
puted opportunity lie before the new
socialist administration of Reading,
which took over the thriving manu-
featuring city of Reading in fertile
Pennsylvania farming region with the
new year. j. Henry Stump, the new
mayor, has two of the four council
men, and the city controller, with HIM
all swept in on the Socialist ticket
against the divided old party vote last
November. Two of the nine school
directors and 70 of the TIA precinct
election officers are also socialist.
Plans to capture the county machin-
cry, judiciary, seats in the legislature
and IN congress are seething as re-
suit of the city triumph.
Stump is president of the Reading
central labor body. AS socialist col
leagues on the council he has Presl-
dent }. ii. Maurer, of the Pennsylvann-
la State Federation of Labor, and u.
w. Snyder of the musicians union.
The terr's are for four years. The
wage which Stump will draw is $4,000
year, and the other two will get
$4,000 a year each.
The winning platform of the social
lists was simply promise to readjust
: taxes so that the small home owner
/ and indirectly the small renter would
: be relieved of unjust burdens now
shlrked by the profiteers and money
bags of the town. Years of criticism

DENIES LEAP IN
OCEAN ON DARE.
Society Man Says Plunge
Partly FooIiShness.'

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 11.-Morton
Hoyt, 29-year-old Washington So
ciety man, said here today it was
partly impulse, partly damfoolish-
ness" that caused him to leap over
board from the steamship Rocham-
beau off the Grand Banks, New
foundland, several evenings ago.
He denied that Miss Elsie Eken-
gren, II, former diplomats daugh-
ter of this city, had dared him to
make the jump into the foggy sea,
from which he was rescued by the
ships crew, though the girl herself
was quoted in New York as having
made him a sort of dare.
IT never met Miss Ekengren I'M
til this trip from LIE Havre," he
said. 'We had dinner together, then
gathered on the promenade deck
with others.
IT said, except for the fog, any
one could swim in that sea. One of
the men said, We'll, yes, If it were
not foggy,'
II don't know what came over
me, but I took off my coat and
jumped. I didn't realize until I
started swimming that the stunt
was foolhardy. After my rescue a
very pretty girl called out from a
portfolio, oh, you nit-wit.'
II was sober all the time"
