leon TROTSKY TO
LEAVE MOSCOW
Reveal Hostile Actions
of Oppositionists

MOSCOW, Jan. 19.-The official
announcement of the deportation of
Trotsky and twenty-nine other mem
bers of the Opposition for acts hostile
to the Communist Party and the Sow
let Union was made public yesterday
in the following communication ap-
pearing in the U. S. S. R. press:
"Various branches of the Govern
ment of the Soviet Union have discov-
cred that a number of adherents of
the Trotskyist and Sopronovist Oppo-
sition groups which were expelled
from the Communist Party by the
Fifteenth Congress Immediately after
the Congress and the breakdown of
the Opposition engaged in illegal anti
Soviet activities, which were mani
tested in their attempts to establish
close contacts with Representatives of
the foreign bourgeoisie in Moscow
thru whom the Trotskyists sent abroad
their materials and maliciously false
information, and with whose support
ers abroad the Trotskyists had estab-
lshed ties.
when the criminal and illegal anti
Soviet activities Of the Trotskyists
and Sapronovists had been clearly es-
tablished, it was deemed necessary as
a minimum measure guaranteeing the
interests of the proletarian state, to
deport from Moscow thirty of the
active members of these groups in
cluding Trotsky, Radek, Ivan Smir-
nov, Serebriakov, Sapronov, Muralov,
Beloborodov, Kharetchko, Vladimir
Smirnov, Vardin, Safarov, Smilga,
Sosnofsky and others.
"As regards Zinoviev and Kamen-
eff, who parted with the Opposition
bloc and who declared that they would
submit to all Of the decisions and stip-
ulations of the Fifteenth Congress,
they have been despatched by organs
of the Communist Party to work in
the provinces"

GREEN DODGES
Miners RELIEF

William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
refused to act in behalf of the desti-
tute families of the striking miners,
it was revealed last night when dele
gate R. f. Castle of the Photo En-
gravers' Union read before the Gen.
trail Trades and Labor Council a let
ter which he had received from the
American Red Cross.
Before reading the letter, the dele
gate asked if there had been any
reply to letter previously sent to
Green in which it was requested that
the federation president call upon the
Red Cross to help the starving min
ers. Green has entirely avoided the
issue, it was disclosed. No reason
4as given but it was understood to be
fear of offending those "higher up."
Delegate Castle then led a reply to
a letter he had himself sent to the
Red Cross asking for such aid. The
reply which was couched in flowery
language, nevertheless, stated that
tfe Re- Cross would ia no way con-
cern itself with relieving the destitute
miners.
The miners unions last year con-
tributed over 100000 to the Red
Cross for its relief activities. Many
more hundreds of thousands have
been contributed by other workers of
the country.
Calvin. Coolidge is the honorary
president Of the Red Cross.

Rumors of Sandino's
Death Unconfirmed

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 10. -
Changes in Mexican internal af-
fairs in connection with events CEN
tering about the oil situation is un-
derstood to be the reason for the
rapid plans being. made for the de-
parture of Dwight w. Morrow,
Morgan ambassador to Mexico,
from Havana where he has been
the guiding director of American
policy at the Pan-American confer
ence.
Though news is carefully being
concealed by the American state de-
partment, it is believed that the
sharpening struggle between the
Standard Oil Interests and those of
the (British) Royal Dutch Shell,
both of which have extensive hold
ings in Mexico is at the bottom of

Deny Workers. Claims

Although the "Cotopaxi" which
disappeared with a crew of 35 men
in 1925 was lake type vessel, and
inadequate to carry the huge cargo
on the ocean forced upon her by the
Clinchfield Coal and Navigation Com
pany, the damage claims of the de-
pendent families of the crew has been
denied.
Judge Frank j. Coleman ruled that
storm, and not the company, was at
fault, and the $1,00O,O00 damage
claims were denied.

WEATHER BUREAU MEN JOIN BYRD.

The Byrd Antarctic expedition, now the way to the South Pole includes two meteorolo- gists from the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture William c. Hanes and Henry T. Harrison Jr of the aero- logical division It may be recalled that MT. Haines accompanied Commander Byrd on his North Polar expedition in 1926. Because of this previous experience he was detailed by special request as a member of the present undertaking
 Little information as to upper-air conditions over the Antarctic region is at present available The two meteorologists, with instruments and equipment supplied by the Weather Bureau will the Bay of Wales the Barrier Reef of the Antarctic Continent. at one of the auxiliary bases between the main base and the pole. They will make such meteorological and aero- logical observations practicable, including pilot balloon observations and temperature sound ings from airplanes.

Fifteen-Cent Copper.
(Bosten News Bureau ]

The soundness of today's copper statisrics, from every angle capable of measurement, is the outstanding phase of that important metal sit uation In contrast with a not distant past it reflects a welcome transition to intelligent di- rection and control And that change, in turn, has found it's reflex in the current price of copper.
 A 15-cent copper market is something which has not existed since the early months of 1925 February, 1925, to be exact. month earlier the price had been 15 5 cents. But the situation in the copper industry today and early 1925 is quite different.
 First of all, and probably most important, is the small total of refined copper on hand in North and South America-109,5S6,OO 900 pounds Sept. l. 1928. On Jan. 1, 1925 stock hand aggregated 272,S6S, 900 pounds or 2.49 times the supply at the beginning of the present month. Sept. 1 supply of refined copper was equivalent to only 38 per cent. of the amount of August shipments. These low stocks. however, do not constitute serious menace to fabrcators Re- fnery production in August was for the first time in six months abreast of shipments. Out put of many of the larger companies could read fly be increased if desirable
 The bulk of the buying which has made for the present price level has not been due to any attempt to stock up with the red metal. Sup ply of copper in foreign ports is currently at low leyls For instance, Sept. 1, 1928 stocks of copper in the United Kingdom totaled 19 - 900 pounds, against S6,50S 900 Jan l. 1925 In Havre stocks on Sept. 1, 1928, only B. 696, 900 pounds, against 16084,000 Jan. 1, 1925, and in Japan the latest figures of July l., 1928, show total stocks of copper amounting to only 5,696,000 pounds against 22, ,0S4 000 Jan. l, 1925. These comparative figures prove in a general way that stocks of copper throughout the world are at fairly low point.
 Another phase of the copper situation which differs from conditions existing in 1925 is the larger amount of copper being used by major industries. Copper consumption of the world has increased each year from 1921 through 1927, with indications thus far in 1928 that it will be the biggest year record.
 Closer cooperation among copper companies as brought about by the Copper Institute, has aided materially in thus re-establishing the in dustry on a sound economic basis Periodical statistics of the various divisions of the copper industry as furnished by the American Bureau lof Metal Statistics have also helped bring about the present gratifying condition in copper circles Once again, knowledge is power"

POLITICAL SPEECHES ON SUNDAY.

Politicians have been laying off making politi- cal speeches on Sundays for generations out of respect for the churches and religion, through fear of losing the church vote, Many of them went to church Sundays to hear the religion of the Lord proclaimed and nvecatons against the dissertation of the Sabbath. Now hear preachers other speakers making political speeches from Methodist and Baptist pulpits throughout the country every Sunday evening" often both morning and evening. Only last night a Seattle Methodist preachers sermon de- nouncing Gov Smith received by Juneau radio fans. And the radio manner of putting sermons people who have become dis gusted with political churches, and stay away from them is being practiced by the politeal- preachers from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the Canadian border to the Rio Grande.
 If single Catholic Church would perform as has become habit with Methodists and Baptists just once, the K K. K. would burn fiery crosses all the country every night.
 And this suggests query: who is paying for the radio hook-ups for these sanctimonious Sab bath desecraters who shout politics from their pupts on Sundays instead of preaching the gos- pei? It is understood that it costs the Demo- crats from S30 to S100 minute fer the radio hook-ups that have been carrying throughout the country the speeches in their behalf nearly every week day night.

With girls facing a cold winter clothed only in cute little pink nothings, it does seem heartless of science not to discover an anti freeze mixture for them 10 take.
 A girl today would be considered decidedly odd if she thought bed was a better place than road house to spend her nights.
 One reason why men never will dress like women is because men have to have clothes that will house not less than a dozen poe kets.
 The trouble with too many mod ern homes is they have too many cold meals and too many hot words.
 Death makes some women wid- ows-but other women have caus- ed almost as many to lose their husbands.
 Another way to strain your eyes is 10 look for a modern girls hope chest that has a cook book tuck ed away among the dainty pink lingerie.

WHY HOOVER MAY WIN.

It seems to be a habit in a large part of the East for nearly everybody who develops an idea to write to the New York Times or the New York World about it. Perhaps that is the reason that one Republican wrote to the Times that he expected to vote for Gov. Smith but expected Hoover to win. He declared that nearly always Republicans vote Republican, no matter what might be their convictions on the issues He said that in 1920 all the League of Nations and anti-League of Nations Republicans and all the anti-League of Nations Democrats voted for Harding. Similarly, he said this year all the wet and dry Republicans and dry Democrats would vote for Hoover
 The correspondents greatest regret was that. he believed, the Anti-Saloon League will insist that the el e c 10 n wet and dry refer endum and claim all Hoover votes for the drys whereas from 50 to 75 per cent of the Hoover votes in many States will be cast by vets He said that why he would vote for Gov Smith ito swell the anti-Anti-Saloon League vote
 The correspondent might be right at that If MT. Hoover wins in the East it will be by polling the wet Republican vote. The wet Re publican leaders in most of the States are stand ing stanchly by MT. Hoover and Republican regu-
