Enemy Of Butte Miners
A Candidate for Senate

WASHINGTON, May (FP).-
Sem V. Stewart, wartime governor
of Montana, has entered the demo-
cratic senatorial primary race n that
state AGAINST Sen. Burton K. Wheeler
Stewart was governor in the fall Of
1914 when copper miners at Butte
went on strike. He sent troons to the
scene, and set up military courts
which sentenced many strikers to thu
penitentiary and others to the county,
jail. After months of in1nrisonment
these union men were released on
order OF tho state supreme court
which held that the so-called military
courts had been Illegal.
Stewart is counsel for Standard
Oil and for the Anti-Saloon League.

ARGENTINE: PRESS
HITS U. S..POE.ICY.

BUENOS AYRES, May 3.--Attack
on the policy of American invasion of
weaker nationalities has been made
editorially by the newspaper, La
Prensa here. Coolidge, as well as
Hughes, come in for their share of
criticism.
Asserting that there are number
of persons and organizations in the
United States whose business it is to
uphold the policies of the American
state department and denyt its viola
ton of national rights, La Prensa
goes on, "The efforts of these latter
may be noted chiefly in the Ameri-
can Society of International Law with
headquarters at Washington, where
Justification of the actions and poll
cies of the government is being
sought. From Kellogg, author of the
Nicaraguan invasion, to Hughes,
champion of Pan-Americanism, with
it's seat in Washington, they try to
pretend that American opinion is
wrong when it judges certain state
department decisions hostile and dan
gerous.
However, all oratorical efforts Of
late have been unable to wipe out re-
collection of President Coolidge's
words in inaugurating the legislative
period of 1927, nor can these words
be destroyed, for the presidents af-
firmation that revolutions would be
ended and the zone from Canada to
the Canal guarded, has a force OF
conviction which is absent from
Hughes speeches." the paper con-
cludes.

BOLIVIA SHIPS
ARMS; See WAR
Il Failure to Arbitrate
Boundary Fight Looms

BUESNOS AYRES, May 3-Fear
that the dispute between Bolivia and
Paraguay over the Chaco boundary
will not be successfully arbitrated by
a mixed commission presided over by
an Argentinian, has received fresh
confirmation by the report that large
cargoes of arms are being shipped to
Bolivia from the Brazilian port of
Santos. The discovery of the arms
shipments is causing flare-up of war
talk in Latin America.
Paraguayan publicists, maintaining
that the Paragraphs want peace,
lament that the economic situa-
ton in Paraguay, which is a poor
country, does not permit of its i'm
mediate armament. 1t is not believed,
however, that the Bolivian govern
ment will attempt hostilities at once
once.
The republic of Paraguay has only
recently begun to recover from the
devastating war it maintained against
the allied forces of Brazil, Argentina
and Uruguay when a quarter of the
male population of Paraguay was ex-
terminated. The triple alliance
sought to partition the smaller ma.
ton.

7-HOUR DAY FOR i.
metal WORKERS
IN SOVIET UNION
Shorter Day for More
Textile Mills

MOSCOW, (By MaiD The Cen
trail Committee of the Metal Workers
Union and the metal trades admins
tration have drawn up list of metal
works which will introduce the seven
hour day in the near future.
Twenty-six factories in the Moscow
district, in Leningrad and the, Ukraine
are on the list.
The seven-hour day will be intro
duced in two more textile mills. The
Naro-Fominsk mill will employ
2,543 additional workers while the
Visokovsk mill will employ 1,500 adj
ditional workers.
The introduction of the seven-hour
day and three-shift system in the
textile industry has not only short
ened the working day and provided
more workers with employment, but
has resulted in greater economies and
more effective utilization of
machinery.

REACTION FAILS
TO DESTROY RED
FRONT FIGHTERS
German Court Declares
Organization Legal

BERLIN, May 3.-Total defeat in
his attempt to destroy the Red Front
Fighters, the militant organization Of
the German Communist workers, was
meted out to the reactionary minister
of the interior, DR.. Walter Won Keu-
dali, when a decision of the federal
supreme court decided that the Red
Front Fighters are a legitimate or
ganization.
Won Kendall, who gained tenn
porary victory before parliamentary
committee a few days ago, has now
been completely routed. The court
declares that no substantiation Of
charges that the Communists had
started election riots or prevented
peaceful balloting could be adduced.
The proposal to dissolve the Red
Front Fighters has been endorsed,
however, by the reactionary govern
ments in the south German states of
Wurtemberg and B Bavaria, both
strongholds of fascist reaction
The attempt to destroy the popular
militant defense organization Of the
German masses against the fascist
outrages brought a storm Of protest
from the workers in all parts Of the
country.

KENOSHA, Wis, May 3.-Two
more warrants have been sworn for
two militant strikers by the vicious
open-shop Allen-A Hosiery Company
against whose lockout $50 knitters
have been carrying on bitter strug-
gle for several months.
After carrying on the struggle
against the workers who seek recog-
milton of their union, by all means,
placed at the bosses disposal by the
Nash Motor Co., controlled city gov
eminent, the company is now resort
ing to wholesale frame-ups. They
have taken out warrants for the ar
rest of those who prove themselves
outstanding fighters on the picket
line. This, in spite Of the fact that
the armed thugs in the company's
hire openly flourish thei rguns in
the faces of the pickets. The work
ers succeeded in compelling the ar
rest of one of the gun-waving strike
breakers.
The attorneys for the union made
formal motion two days ago for the
dismissal of charges of disorderly

A. KODEL SLATED
FOR DEPORTATION
Communist EditorWrote
on Sacco-V anzetti

For writing two articles last year
denouncing the murder of Sacco and
Vanzetti, A. Kobel, editor of Jus HIM.
Esthonian Communist weekly, is
scheduled for deportation from this
country by order Of the u S. depart
ment of labor, it was learned yes
terday.
Kobel, one Of the leading Esthon-
ian Communists in the United States
was arrested Jan. "a, charged with
being an anarchist" and favoring
the overthrow of the United States
government. He was taken to Ellis
Island on deportation proceedings anC
later released on $1,000 bail furnished
by the International Labor Defense
The defense organization, through it's
counsel, Isaac Shorr, continued the
fight, but the final decision Of the
department of labor makes him ar
undesirable citizen" and he is
scheduled for deportation in the neal
future.
Started by White Guards. ~.
White Guard Esthonians are
thought to have instigated the action
and the two articles, printed Aug. 30
1927, were used as a preteXt in an
effort to railroad Kobel to death at
the hands of the Lithuanian terror
government.
In statement issued yesterday
Rose Baron, secretary Of the New
York section of the International La
Dor Defense, declared: 'The decision
to deport A. Kobel, the editor of the
organ of the militant Esthonian
workers, is another chapter in the
general attack on the revolutionary
working class in connection with the
murder of Sacco and Vanzetti. The
ruling class is not content with hav-
ing killed Sacco and Vanzetti. II
wants to crush all those who fought
for Sacco and Vanzetti and those who
tore the mask from the face of that
Justice which the capitalist class
uses to delude and Cypress the work
ers."
