PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July o.

The M.W.I.U. is gaining members

Now for Baltimore.
The National Chairman of the
Marine Workers Industrial Union,

ship meeting of 1870 here, on the
necessity of winning the Baltimore
waterfront for a joint struggle. The
Philadelphia workers are ready nov

Fascist Coup in Portugal Is Failure

LISBON, Portugal, July 9.--The
attempts of the Portuguese fascists
to bring about coup d'etat against
the present government has failed.
Some of the conspirators, includ-

Jeab Almeida, were arrested Satur-
day.
The capitalist press reports try
to cloak the conspiracy with the
dignity of a revolutionary move
ment, but facts show that it is no
more than fascist coup.

REVOLT IN INDIA
King Admits Worries,

Capitalist press dispatches from
India admit that the tribes of the
northwest frontier were not sub
dued by the extensive bombing of
villages and land raids and arrests
that have been conducted by the
British army, and are closing in
again. A force, which the British
sources give as 5000 from the
Mahsud tribes assembled during
the last few days in the Razmak
district, with intent to attack the
Sorgha army post, which is said to
be garrisoned by 500.
Waziri tribesmen attacked two
British army posts Tuesday and
burned one of them. Another air
plane raid, to bomb villages and
kill Unfortunately men, women
and children was ordered by the
British commander in this district
in retaliation.

Editor Tines-I note one writing

''Why not unload the unemployment
situation on the farmer?"
Now, I am not a farmer, but a
working man in town, and 1 take
exception to few statements in
this article. First, why not let each
farmer feed one unemployed?
don't think that would go over so
big with the average farmer, for
he wants to get men to work in his
harvest fields for their bread, and
he rather would see his wild black
berries go to waste in his woods
than to see a working man from
town get them, when it is the work
ing man who consumes large part
Of his farm products, and in turn
gives him the money to buy the
said rails and care for the railroads
and to pay for all the auto trucks
and buses in the country, also the
paved roads.
Second, he waited and watched
his holdings shrink, but failed to
see the real cause. When he was
asked many times to join the labor
movements to hold up the buying
power Of his products, he stood by
while wages were cut, and, in fact,
rejoiced over it, because he then
could get his harvest hands for
practically nothing.
He seemed to lose sight Of the fact
that the more he paid for his har-
vest hands, the more they would be
able to spend to consume the farm

Letting dishonest tribute forms one
OF the most curious incidents ever
recorded in our history.
The fact that such inconsistency
can be explained on the ground
of a constitutional amendment is
not sufficient to overcome the
doubts of people who believe in the

Where have we arrived in our
processes of thinking that state
sovereignty should amount to so
little in the matter of hootch and
so much in the matter of whole

Mustn't get excited over gang
rule, lest We destroy confidence in
our state and city administrations:
mustn't utilize available forces to
protect a public which has looked
for protection elsewhere in vain.
But when it comes to beotIegging,

continue to pursue course which
gives gangland its biggest revenue

ing the ergosterol in the tissues

Apparently also it is necessary for
a secretion to be poured into the
blood from the parathyroid glands.
because when this secretion is abb
sent, the amount Of calcium in the
blood may fall off greatly.
Cows milk contains three or four
times as much calcium as human
milk, but the calcium in the cows
milk is not absorbed in as great
proportion as that of human milk.
Perhaps it is due to the greater
relative amount Of the phosphates
that il present.
AS was pointed out previously,
when too much phosphate is pres
ent, the calcium is held in insoluble
form.
An infant that is getting as much
as 21s ounces of human milk or IL
ounces of cows milk for every
pound of its body weight, is getting
enough calcium salt for its normal
requirements.
If, however, the infant suffers
from any spasmodic disorder, the
physician is likely to prescribe CAL
cium salts in excess to take care Of
this condition.

The IDEA that the United States department of

local police work every time popularity is involved

opportunities for graft oppression and political ia
vortism
1t would tend to demoralize self-goyernment BY
communities. 1t would enable the community that
doesn't want to exercise its own brains and spend its
own money to throw both burdens on the whole ma
ton, with resulting injustice to localities wishing to
help themselves
Attorney-General Mitchell well might emulate Jus

general kept the department strictly to federal ac
tivies, and demobilized the federal secret service

Autumn Offensive

1T seems to me that DR.. John
l. Haynes Holmes is too dogmatic
in the declaration that all but ten
of the seasons plays are offensive"
This requires some definition.
If DR.. Holmes actually has seen
all thirty-four new plays, he has a
right to number those which seem
offensive to him, but he ought to
allow for the margin of individual
taste.
For instance, he names five pro-
auctions as worthy of every play
goer's attention. Among these he
lists Roar China"
DR.. Holmes is a liberal, and the
radical doctrine enunciated in the
propaganda piece he finds interest
ing and exciting.
But surely this somewhat highly
colored report of the English atti-
tude toward the inhabitants Of
China easily is calculated to shock
certain conservatives and send them
rushing from the theater in high
dudgeon. To them it would be Of
fensive.
In fact, any good play ought to be
offensive to somebody. A play de-
signed to please persons of every
opinion and mental level surely
would fail to arouse any ones en-
thusiasnn.

nard Shaw, is none the less a good
play because it is offensive to the
