ROTARY SNOW Pillow
DOING FINE WORK ON
ROADS NEAR CITY

Inc rotary snow pillow recently pur-
chased by the county commissioners
reached Red Lodge Saturday evening.
The pillow was unloaded at Roberts and
the big county caterpillar tractor was
driven from Slesia, and the insta la
ton Of the pillow made Thursday and
Friday.
Coming up the road the worst snow
was encountered at point about half
way between Roberts and Fox. This
drifted snow had lain for several
weeks and was successive layers of
snow and ice No difficulty was en-
countered and the pillow opened a wide
tract through the banks, the snow and
ice being thrown Gear of the right of
way. Arriving in Red Lodge, the ma
chine was taken out on the cemetery
road and the main highways are now
open in that section.
Great drifts of snow were found on
the hill leading out of town and no
cars have been driven west of town
since the latter part of December.

TELLS OF ROSARIO
COMMUNIST LEADER

In the midst of the great strike
the workers in Rosario have waged
against their bosses for several
months, in which the Communist
Party of Argentina was active, a
young fighter, Mario Cascallares,
died. He passed away in the middle
of August, just before the historical
Party convention, where the scat
tered revolutionary forces were
united under the banner of the Com
munist International. With Com
rade Cascallares' death our brother
Party lost one great and militant
leader who knew when and how to
strike a blow against the bour-
geoisie.
Comrade Mario Cascallares was
81 years old when ne died. From
his very youth he was active in his
trade, the Painters Union, and dur
ing its struggles he always was an
energetic fighter. He joined the
socialist party and stood in its ranks
until 1921, fighting against the
leadership of the social-traitors.
While no hope was left for convert
ing the socialist party into a class
struggle organization, with group
of other workers, Mario joined the

In the last municipal elections
Comrade Cascallares was elected as
alderman on the Communist Party

time in the history of this city. AL
though he did not feel well for two
months before his death, Mario en-
ergetically defended Communist
principles and fought for the imme-

Thousands Of workers throughout

the Communist Party of Argentina

England; hours are increased, wages
cut; bosses receive increasing grants
of huge tax rebates from the town
ships; the tariff wall is very high,
being IS percent for woolens and
worsted and 65 per cent for silks.
Even where wage cuts are appar-
emily not being enforced, the pay
is being reduced thru clever "spe-
ciahzation" schemes, reductions by
crafts, and reductions by mills. Chief
among these favorable factors, Weis-
bord declared, were the fact that
unions, both reactionary, militant,
and allegedly militant unions have
lost control, withered or have been
totally annihilated Examples in

the industry have also disappeared.

After analysing all the unions he
had mentioned, their mistakes, wrong

mill committees who will be the real
masters of their organization and
yet the organization will be a highly

Reid joined his first union, the
Weavers' Progressive Union, in
1889. A few years later he be-
came active in the National Union
of Textile Workers in America, the
predecessor of the United Textile
Workers, and was elected national
president at the Lawrence conven-
ton in 1897. AS president of the
N. U. T. w. Reid sent the first
textile organizer into the South

organized in Columbus, Ca, in
1898. He has since taken lead
ing part in many textile strikes,
including the famous Lawrence
strike of 1912.

Reid also was active on the po-
litical field as member first of
the socialist labor party and later
of the socialist party, where he was
always identified with y the left

OPEN THREATS
TO BOCOTA MADE
BY STATE DEPT.
Charge. British Back
Colombian Move

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-An-
other shot in the international pc
troleum war yesterday tore open the
terms of the aggressive note of the
American state department to the
government of Colombia dispatched
three days ago, but not made public.
The note is in reply to another from
Bogota and declares that the at
titude of the Colombia government
surprises the American state depart
ment and states the American gov
ernment's determination to follow
up all questions involving the in
terests of American oil investors in
Colombia. This is taken to mean
that the American state department
is willing to take extreme measures
to ensure its supremacy in the Co.
lombian fields and the ousting of the
competitive British interests.
The present diplomatic exchange
involves the cancellation by the Co.
1ombian government in March, 1926,
of the concession of the Colombian
Petroleum Company to the Barco oil
fields. The original cancellation
which was made for number of
stated Irregularities in operation,
was recently endorsed by the pres
ent Colombian government. Amer
lean interests assert that British in
fluence played an important con-
sideration in this decision.
To an inquiry of the American
legation in Bogota made at the in
stigation of American companies as
to whether or not the American gov
eminent would be permitted to file
reply to the Colombian endorse
ment, the Bogota government an
swersd that it could not permit the
American state department to in
terfere between it and a private cor
poration.
The American state department in
its note asserts that it's action in re-
questing the right to reply is within
the scope of international rights
and intimates that it will press these
rights, adding that it cannot permit
the action of the Bogota government
to cause it to desist from protect
ing American interests" wherever
the government deems necessary.
Conjecture is rife here as to
whether the United States govern
ment is prepared to back it's note
with a demonstration of power in
Caribbean waters tho action of this
nature is regarded as inevitable if
the Colombian government per-
sists in its attitude or if the belief
that the British petroleum interests
are behind the present move re-
ceives further confirmation.

ANTE:COMMUNIST
CAMP AiCN RACES
IN YUGOSLAVIA
500 Workers Already
Arrested

ZAGREB, Jugoslavia (By Mail) i.
The Yugoslavian government has
commenced a furious campaign
against the Communists and mass
arrests are taking place all over
the country. The idea of course is
to detract attention from the seri-
Gus differences which have arisen
between the Serbs and the Croats.
Wild stories, of Communists
agents sent to Yugoslavia to per-
petrate acts of terrorism at the in
structions of the Comintern (sic)"
are current in the bourgeois press.
According to the latest reports
over 500 arrests nave been made
and the campaign is still going on.
The names of the arrested are be-
ing kept secret ain the interests of
the police investigation" In point
of fact most of the arrests are not
Communists at all, but trade union
officials and radical workers.
Sensational Finds"
Sensational finds!" have been
made during the searches every
where. The finds" consist exclu-
sively of perfectly legal Communist
and revolutionary books and other
literature. One of the arrested is,
OF was, according to the police, "a
captain in the Hungarian Red
Army"
The new wave Of terror does not
only hit workers; journalists are
also amongst the casualties. The
editor of the Splitter "Radnitchkag
Odyeka" has been arrested. The po-
lice refuse to give the reason. The
editor of the Catholic Weekly"
Dragutin Kamber, has been arrested
in Serayevo on account of an ar
ticle written concerning the murder
Of Stephan Raditch. The publish
ers of the Croat federalist news
paper, "Hrvatski List" has also
been arrested and will be charged
with high treason.
