Our Tasks.

1t is necessary now to center the fire of the
N. M. U. and the r. u U. L. on the Howat-
Brophy- Hapgood attempt to create "left'
front for the Fishwick and Farringtons-and
the A. F. of L. There must be no let-up in
this drive until they are defeated completely.
This is now done as central part of the
organization of N. M. U. district conferences
and in the preparation for mass convention of
the union set for Pittsburgh, June I.
The whole perspective is for widening and
sharpening struggles in the mine fields. The
strategy of the cleft wing" social fascists in
their Springfield convention was to halt these
growing struggles.
In this they were defeated by our Party and
its mass support among the miners.

Army Tells Gales He Is Still Look

of Mexico.

MEXICO CITY. January 9.-Pascual
Ortiz Rubio, President-elect of Mexico,
has cut short his tour of the United
States and is rushing back to settle the
political row which threatens to bring
about division in the ranks of the
National Revolutionary party, only
political party in Mexico.
This party was organized in response
to the memorable address of P. Elias
Gales, then President, to Congress in
September, 1923, calling on the people
to organize real strong political parties
and start an era of institutional gov
ernments Rank and file revolutionists
-Liberals-gathered under the colors
of the National Revolutionary party,
which at the beginning was headed by
Senior Gales himself when he gave
up the presidency. guiding the group
until he decided to abandon active
political life.
Still Regarded as Leader.
Senior Gales. though devoted to agri-
cultural work at his farm near Mexico
City and at present discharging the
special task Of recognizing the Ma
tional Railways. continues to be a
luminary to whom politicians turn for
inspiration. The army, represented by
a plurality of its leaders. yesterday
paid homage to Senior Gales at a
luncheon attended by army chiefs, who
came to the capital from far and
wide, the POSTMASTER declaring that the
army still considered him its leader.
Constitution Of Senior Ortiz Rubi0 5
cabinet has thrown the politicians into
great excitement, the ranks of the Ma
tional Revolutionary party dividing into
two groups. One, composed of stanch
friends of Senior Gales, is called the
Whites; the other Is more inclined TO
seek Ortiz Rubio's shelter and is known
as the Reds" Each group is DESTROYS
of having its leaders fill the portfolios.
President-elect Ortiz Rubio succeed
ed in soothing the first agitation re-
Gently when he made both groups COM
promise on the lineup Of the pernna-
nent congressional committee, which
represents Congress during its recess
and which in a way has the final say
on the constitution of the new Con-
gress.
However, the political seas are heavier
and heavier as Ortiz Rubio's Inaugural
ton nears. A few days ago the Whites
dealt their opponents a heavy blow hy
obtaining complete control of the con-
gressional committee. Reprisals fol-
lowed Immediately, and nine Senator'S
and eight deputies were expelled from
the revolutionary party, charged with
lack of discipline and disloyalty.
So Ortiz Rubio is rushing back and It
is expected that he will throw oil on the
troubled political waters. 1t is believed
that he will accept the demands of the
Whites by giving them some portfolios,
as otherwise he runs the risk of losing
their support in the new Congress.

SMITH RECORDS
PROMISED DODDS
Federal Agent Seeks Aft
davits From New York
Clients of Company.
BY a stan Correspondent of The Star.

By Stan Correspondent of The Star.
NEW YORK, January 9.-Having
reached an agreement with attorneys
for the F. H. Smith Co. that the long
sought records of the corporation will
be produced in Federal Court Monday,
Nugent Dodds, special assistant to the
Attorney General, today was interview
ing Smith Co. clients here. in an en-
6eavor to obtain afidavits for use in
possible criminal proceedings against
certain officials of the concern.
Dodds has not asked the Federal
grand jury here to indict any of the
Smith Co offcisls. but 1t was learned
he Is preparing evidence for presenta-
ton to the jury next week. 1t is not
believed, however, that he will attempt
to have indictments returned until he
has received and studied the records
of the company.
Will Not Press COntempt Charge.
Dodds decided yesterday, after con-
ference with defense counsel, not to
press contempt of court charges against
G. Bryan Pitts. chairman of the Smith
Co. directorate; John H. Edwards, jr.,
vice president, and Gerald r. Trimble,
secretary.
Subpoenas duces tecum had been
served on the three, directing them to
appear in court yesterday with records
which the Department of Justice deemed
essential to its investigation of the
Smith Co.'S business Offices However
the officials did not appear. Instead,
George Leisure Of Smith counsel ap-
peared in court with three young girls.
whom he described as 'custodians of
the records"
His contention is that Pitts, Edwards
and Trlmble were not served with per-
scnal subpoenas and that they could
not under such service be compelled
TO appear personally before the grand
jury. Leisure said the three girls had
the records wanted by the department
with them yesterday and that, although
they waited all afternoon, no demand
was made on them to produce the docu-
ments.
Refuses to Recognize Girls.
Dodds refused to recognize the ap-
pearance of the three girls as a proper
answer to the subpoenaes, presumably
aim from inStituting contempt of court
proceedings against the three officials.
Instead, after conference with Leisure,
it was decided to defer court action I'M
til Monday.
Defense attorneys indicated however,
that the records will not be brought into
court by officials of the Smith Co. Ac-
cording to Leisure, appearance in court
Of the ofhcials might hinder them in de-
tense of charges being made against
them in Washington.
