Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August 3.-An intensive
campaign and drastic measures to en-
force the boulevard law on main high
ways Of Maryland has been inaugural
ed, according to E. Austin Baughman,
motor vehicle commissioner.
Arrests are now being made when this
law is not complied with.
On an inspection trip this week by
Mr.. Baughman through various parts of
the State some interesting facts were
discovered regarding the seeming lack
of understanding of the boulevard law
on the part of the motoring public.
While Mr. Baughman was checking
up on conditions. he noticed that IL
cars out of IL failed to stop before en-
tering the boulevard at Ellicott City.
seven cars out of seven at Hancock and
considerable negligence was shown at
other points along the way.

whole matter hinges is one of the short

BRITISH AIM AT
BETTER CONTROL
Report French Govt
to Buy Soviet Oil

PARIS, Dec. 31.-France's desire
for Moslem oil and Britain's inten-
ton to keep that oil entirely 'nder
its own domination seem to be CIV
ing rise to a little embarrassment
for the Franco British entente. The
further fact that the United States
has one-fourth interest in Moslem
oil will probably shift the French
government to accepting British
domination at the price of ousting
America.
1t was reported here today that
the French government is about to
begin conversation with European
non-oil producing countries with the
purpose of creating concerted action
against the "British-American
monopoly of the world market. Jules
Sauerwein, writing in the Matin,
states that the French government
is not worried so much by the COM
mercial aspect of the world oil trust
as by the military significance of the
OF. monopoly.
The specie cause for the matter
breaking into the limelight just now
is the British decision to run a pipe
line for Moslem oil through Trans
jordania to a Palestine port, thus
keeping the line and its outlet en-
tirely under British domination. The
French would like to see the oil line
run through its own territory of
Syria "a very much shorter distance
and one which involves much less ex-
pense. But the British seem willing
to sacrice a few million dollars for
the privilege of controlling the oil.
As a matter of fact it appears
that the decision to run the pipe line
thu ough ritish territory was prima-
rily aimed at the American oil in
terests and not at the French. The
official theory of the British
American world trust" given by the
Matin writer, is believed to be en-
tirely inaccurate, since these inter-
ests are at odds on all worlds mar
kets.
1t is stated here that the French
government will attempt to buy it's
oil from the Soviet Oil Syndicate,
which, unless l. is done with the
specie consent of the Royal-Dutch
Shell, will lead to violent opposition
from Henry Deterding, head of that
concern, it is believed. Deterding
has declared an oil war against Rus
sian oil, and is a member of the In
ternational committee of ex-owners
of Russian property, now engaged in
vicious anti-Soviet campaign.

BENGHAZI BARKA, Tripoli, Dee.
31.-A violent battle between SenF7
nussite rebel tribesmen and Italian
colonial forces took place near
Shaabi today. After severe casual
ties had been inflicted on both sides,
the rebel tribesmen were forced to
withdraw by bombing planes and
armored tanks. &
Similar clashes between tribesnlen
and italian troops have been report
ed recently in Tripoli, where the
fascist government rules with an
iron hand. The attempt of Mus
solini to create an Italian empire on
the Mediterranean, and swing out
from Tripoli in northern Africa and
from Albania in the Balkans, is
meeting with increased French and
British resistance.
1t is recalled that in public
speech a few weeks ago Mussolini
had declared that he did not want
Syria and attacked French imperial
lists for their use of bombs, airplanes
and armored cars against the ma
tives. He had declared that Italy
would rather give up its colonies
than keep them in submission in
such a manner.

Mccoy Comes to Report

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Dec. 81
A bill giving foreign military
commanders in Nicaragua the sta
tus of ministers plenipotentiary
passed the chamber of deputies and
will probably pass the senate. In
this way the actual diplomatic
status of United States military of
ficers, whether it be the commander
of the marine forces in Nicaragua,
or Admiral Sellers of the Canal
fleet, is officially recognized.
Diplomatic representatives of sew
eral Latin American countries have
protested against the passage of the
bill.
By this new measure the Nica~ag-
uan traitors practically recognize
American military officers as the
spokesman for the government and
grant them status as military die
tators of the country.
The complete degradation of some
Latin American governments to the
will of American Imperialism is fur

here of special delegations from

General Frank Mccoy, United
States supervisor of the Nicaraguan
election, under whose protection
Moncada was elected president, ar
rived here yesterday on the United
Fruit Company steamer, Ulua. He
had been in Nicaragua since Aug

He was -ull of praise for the
American marines and thought that
the elections in Nicaragua had been

after all, it was held to bring about
peace and order. The revolution
was settled in this way" He did not
give many particulars of how the
revolution was settled" but he felt
proud of the Wall Street interven-
tion. He continued:
''This is not the first time that the
United States has participated in a
supervising capacity in the election
of foreign country. The record
will show ten or eleven similar in
stances" He went on to explain
that the election "was held as the re-
suit of an agreement arranged by
Henry L. Stimson between President
Coolidge and President Adolfo Diaz

SCORE BRITISH
10000 Protest Reform
Nehru Measure

BOMBAY, linda, Dec. 31.-Twenty
thousand India workers, bearing
banners which read Down With
Imperialism" Long Live the Red
Army" demonstrated yesterday be-
fore the building where the Indian
National Congress was considering
reformist measures for the status
of India under British rule.
The workers demanded the right
to express their grievances and de-
highly embarrassed at the demon
stration, sent out Mahatma Ghandi,
who agreed to give up previous de-
mands for independence and join the
Nehru group who favored a domin-
ion status for India. Ghandi at
tempted to speak othe workers but
was shouted down.
Jawahar Lal Nehur, advocate of
the dominion status constitution,
was then sent on horseback to in
terview the leaders of the workers
and attempt to make the demonstra-
ton dispense, but he was pulled from
his horse.
The workers then advanced on
the Congress building, bearing their
banners aloft and shouting their
slogans. Thousands of leaflets and
anti-imperialist literature was dis
tributed.
The tendency of many of the ma
tionalist leaders towards compro-
missing with the British rulers thru
the Simon Commission, which is at
present in India attempting to win
over the refor-nist leaders to a new,
but no less imperialist, formulation
of British rule over India, aroused
the workers to protest. The workers
demand uncompromising and COM
plete independence for India and a
vigorous fight against British i'm
perialism.
At the Congress Subjects Com
mittee last week, Ghandi had de-
serted his previous position and
agreed to join the Nehru group
which demands dominion status for
India. Following this the Committee
approved the Nehru constitution,
which to the mind of the more
radical sections of the Nationalists
and the demonstrators was capitula-
ton to British aim.

Real Facts of His Trip

The following letter has been re-

success, in which the population re-
ceived the AGENT of American i'm

The Letter.
"San Jose, Costa Rica:
"The government prepared an of
ficial reception for the Wall Street
president, but the school teachers of
the Republic refused to take part or
induce the children of the public
schools to take part in the reception.
"Mr. Hoover landed at Pun
tarenas, the Pacific port, and came
on the governments railroad to the
capital. and instead of landing at
the main station, on account of the
lack of public to meet him or give
warm reception, the train continued
its way and the president was landed
near the American legation, a few
blocks away from the railroad track,
in place in the city where there
are hardly any houses.
"The little crowd waiting at the
main railroad station, where it was
said Mr.. Hoover would land, we're
amazed.
"After a few speeches at the
Yellow House the Costa RIGA presi-
dent, quite an old man, and Mr..
Hoover, were taken sightseeing and
some "Viva SANDING" posters printed
in red, were thrown into the auto
conveying the two presidents. The
police made some arrests.
SIT is the criterion here that it is
lack of tact on the part of Mr.. Hoo
yer to make such a visit to these
Latin-American Republics, notwith-
standing the cry of the masses of
people in these countries: Hands
Off Nicaragua" "Down with I'M

eagerly look for a mutual under
standing of brotherhood, but they

Employe Stock Owning
Aids Managers Control
Says the Goal Age"

Coal Age, a magazine Of coal

much thot of by non-union coal
operators, in a moment of frank
ness, permits a personnel manager
named Cowdrick to explain some
of the reasons for stock ownership
by employees, the so-called Gin
dustrial democracy"
Cowdrick points out that many
workers don't care to be partners
with the boss. They know profits
are being made out of them, and
don't want the disagreeable fact
rubbed in with partnership salve.
Second, management often uses the
employe stock ownership plan in
order to entrench it's own position.
The more widely the stock is held,
the easier small group with 10 to
30 per cent of the shares can con-
troll the whole company.
Cowdrick sums up: GAIL things
considered, employe stock ownership,
if it exerts any influence upon con-
troll Of industry at all, operates to
make it even easier for an existing
management to maintain itself
already no difficult task, so long as
the business is reasonably successful.
