times organized locals, collected
fees for initiation and skipped,
swindling the workers here.
Every one fthe men employed
in the day and night shifts of the
Wilkes-Barre Weaving Co., are out,
only few girls remaining in the
plant.
1t was while talking to one of
these girls that Clarina Nicholson,
who had been previously warned
out of the mill vicinity by police,
was arrested. When brought to Jail
she was told by the sheriff that she
wash charged with melting to riot,
clearly an attempt to railroad her
out of harms way. But the thinness
of sochc a charge prevailed even in
the boss-owned conrts. and the
charge became disorderly conduct.
She was fined $40.
John Gregory, member of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, whose
discharge from his job caused the
walkout, was also jailed. He was
distributing leaflets to the girl work
ers and to the workers in other
mills. AS in the case fthe other
arrest, this case will be defended by
the International Labor Defense.

How the United States govern
ment pursues foreign policy that
is approximately 100 per cent dollar
diplomacy is told in new book
Economic Foreign Policy of the
United States, by Benjamin H.
Williams; McGraw-H Hill, New York;
price SAY just issued by the Nc
Grcw-Hill Co., publishers of bust
ness magazine and text books.
DR.. B. H. Williams. political
science professor in Andy Melons
own University of Pittsburgh, where
instructors who fight for civil lib
erty in the coal fields are fired for
characterization, is the author of this
400-page volume which mine and
steel workers can't afford to buy.
But its facts, clothed in highly
academic language, are an indict-
nent of the Mellon Hoover regime
that continues in power at the White
House.
The Money Motive.
The author coolly discusses the
acquisitive instincts of merchants,
bankers, investors, shipowners and
what he correctly terms "the dollar
and cents realities of world politics."
He has discovered what economic
determinists have long contended,
that the principal motive" in for
eign relations is commercial profit"
Citing almost exclusively govern
ment documents and the most au-
thoritative official sources, he
calmly-almost cynically-reveals
the hypocrisy of the super lofty
aims avowed by U. S. diplomats
when they rush a cruiser full of
laathernecks to the defense of
American investors or concession
aires in China, Cuba or Nicaragua.
Williams sensed the close "coali-
ton between Washington and Wall
Street" and does not fail to men,
ton, as do long-winded representa-
;ives of the American state depart
ment, the Importance of the profits
of capitalists" in all international
relations.
To Conquer Caribbean.
He writes that "ioans in the stra-
logically important area OF the
Caribbean and Central America
have been requested in order 10 pre-
empt the territory as against the
citizens of other strong creditor ma
tons" Then he shows how finan-
cial and commercial interests influ-
ence the Washington government
to help secure concessions or for
eign loans; to collect interest for
private investors; to keep out the
citizens of other countries from the
territory to be exploited; to secure
the removal of any restriction on in
vestors that the native government
may set up; to put down revolutions
and secure Claw and order" when it
is to their advantage; or, in other
instances, as in the case of Colon
bia and Panama, to stir up revolu-
ton to gain the ends in sight.
And he shows how plant the poll
ticians of both republican and dem
ccratic parties have been in the
hands of the bankers and investors.
They have lent themselves to wide
variety of financial imperialist
maneuvers interventions, block
AIDES, neutral zones, marine raids,

raw materials. All these are

coast, according to reports from the
Mexican war department.
Fighting by sea, plane and on land
for the possession of this port has
already been on for three days,
without any perceptible gains being
made by the rebel forces. Two
thousand Federal forces hold the
city under the command of General
Carrillo, while the attacking forces
are believed to number from 5000
to $500 under Generals Manzo and
Iturbe.
The rebels succeeded in occupying
a cemetery on the outskirts of the
city, but are withdrawing under the
heavy firing from a Federal gun
boat in the harbor.
The official government commu-
nique asserts that the federal lines
remain intact and the rebels are
being driven back to their starting
point, each of their attacks being
successfully beaten off.
Federal reinforcements now on
the way to Mazatlan from Torreon
are due at the port today or tomor-
row.
War Minister Gales has dis
patched 5000 cavalry to the states
of Guanaquato and Jalisco, south
east of Torreon, where new catho-
lie revolt has broken out.
Due to the devastated condition of
the railroads torn up by retreating
insurgent forces Gales viii attempt
to send forces in motor trucks in
pursuit of General Escobar's forces.
Commenting upon the great
amount of damage done by the re-
treating insurgent forces Gales
declared that the insurgents wish to
avoid battle and make him and his
aides fly to the United States
General Escohar, commander of
the clerical-feudal forces, is still at
his headquarters in Juarez, from
where he has issued a report that
his forces will wedge in Gales army
at Torreon.
DEFINING New Mexico, March
24.-United States military officials
permitted two armored trucks of
federal soldiers to pass over the
border at Eagle Pass on the way to
reinforce the Mexican troops at
Naco, Sonora, where an attack by
rebels is expected.
Additional ammunition from the
United States for the federal Mex
lean forces was transferred from
Naco, Arizona, to Naco, Sonora,
yesterday.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-State
department officials yesterday ex-
pressed doubt that William T..
Blocker, American consul at Mazat-
Ian, Mexico, had been killed in the
course of the fighting there, as was
reported by rebel headquarters.
The United States government
seems to be greatly alarmed at the
situation in the Yaqui Valley, So
nora, where millions of Yankee dol
lars are invested in oil by Standard,
Pierce Oil Company and Aguilla
company. E. w. Eaton, American
vice-consul at Ensenda, Lower Cali
fornia, has been instructed to pro-
coed to Sonora Immediately.
American oil officials in Sonora
have received many threats from the
rebel leaders demanding that certain
oil products be supplied to them or
that they would take them by force.

ing affairs will be administered
after August 10 by a group
~ other than that composed by
Paul Prehn, Sam Luzzo and AL
Mann.
Gov Louis L. Emmerson has re-
auested the resignation of the present
Illinois State Athletic Commission, with
the brief comment that such change
would undoubtedly be for the best in
terests Of boxing in Illinois"
The action came just before the Sam
my Mandell. Tony Canzoneri lightweight
championship fight last night, and cir
cumstances in connection with dtstr1bu-
ton of tickets for the battle were be-
lieved to have been largely responsible.
1t had been known for some time that
the governor was contemplating o
change in the personnel Of the COM
mission, and Promoter Paddy Harmon's
protest against the alleged ticket grab"
of the retiring commission was believed
to have fastened his action.
Prehn, who has served as member
of the commission since its inception
three years ago, said he would be glad
to step out the job having been moth
ing but grief He also said he wanted
1t known that there was no scandal con-
nected with the acknowledgements

we always received certain tickets,
and paid for them" he said. For this
fight we got 900 tickets, and expected to
pay for them"
Mann and LuZ2o assumed the same
attitude, the former adding that the
move was political one. Gov. Emmer-
son made no mention of Walter George,
commission secretary, in his request for
designations, but 1t was understood he
would be expected to move out with
Prehn, LuZzo and Mann.
No successors have been named, and
1t was said that Gov. Emmerson was
having difhculty in persuading the men
he wants. Among those prominently
mentioned are Maj. Frederic McLaugh-
lin, owner of the Chicago Blackhawks
of the National Professional Hockey
League; George Lytton millionaire mer-
chant; Sheldon Clark u. j. Sport

JAMES G. ROWE DIES;
SIS YEARS A TRAINER

SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y. Au-
gust S.-James Gordon Rowe. dean of
American trainers. died yesterday In
the Saratoga Hospital.
Widespread regret was expressed
when news of his passing became
known, as the aged trainer of the
Harry Payne Whitney stable was one
of the best liked men on the turf.
He was u years old and had trained
horses for S. years.
The Whitney horses will be scratched
today out of respect for Rowe.
Rowe was a native OF Richmond,
Va, and was a clerk at cigar coun-
ter there in his youth before he
began the career as jockey. trainer and
racing official that was to be outstand-
ing in America. Col w. d. Mcdaniel,
father of Henry Mcdaniel. veteran
trainer for Clifford A. Cochran. took
the youngster from behind the coun-
ter and put him in the saddle.
In 1871, 1872 and 1878 Rowe headed
the list of winning jockeys in Amer
lea and scored many of his greatest
triumphs with Harry Bassett and Joe
Daniels.
Rowe's greatest distinction came as
a trainer and in 1918. 1920, 1924. 1926
and 1927 he headed all trainers In
point of purse money won.
