Soviet troops had been massed on the border and engaged in mintary operations which took them well into Chinese territory. An agreement finally was signed at Habarovsk call ing formal settlement of details in the conference now under way In Moscow.
 The Soviet representatives in Har- bin, as far as the writer could de- termine after extensive conversations with them. are inclined to favor a policy of realism" in dealing with China, They would settle each prob lem as it arises and probably would not be opposed to show of strength when they consider it necessary. Lengthy treaties and Agreements, they seemed to feel, are not neces- sarily desirable.
 The writer saw no indications that the Russians. following their victory in the conflict regarding the rail- way, are adopting a high handed at titude-the spirit of victor over van-
  face appearances in Harbin were that cooperation in the management of the railway has been restored md that both sides are inclined to adopt a give and take attitude. Foreign observers generally seemed to feel this is the case, but they aa 1ed there still exist many elements of danger and that the possibility of new conflict should not be ignored.
 Russian officials said Moscow is quite willing to abide by the agree ment to sell the Soviet interest in the railway to China at any time China wishes to buy. The price they mem tioned, however, was enormous. ap- proximately one billion, 400 million gold rubles, or about gold s70O,- 100000. This figure. the ysaid. repre- sents the amount Russia has spent on the railway since it was first pro- jected, plus interest Foreign observ- CTS in Harbin considered the figure impossible and thought there is no possibility China would accept such terms.
 The railway has no immediate program for extensive improvements or the construction of new lines, it's executives said. New equipment will be purchased in "the best available market as the finances of the line justify such expenditure.

The telephone solicitor then urges his prospect to take additional copies of the issue in which the story will appear for filing and publicity pur- poses, Many prominent executives and corporations have been victim ized by these fakers A vicious pic ture of these publications is that they also pander to the swindlers, partic- ularly the vendors of fake stock.

 Photographers Involved
 If the person solicited for a bio- graphical write-up cannot supply a photograph, the pseudo associations offer to have one taken without ad- ditional cost. Whereupon a photog- rapher appears. takes numerous photographs and later exerts every effort to have the subject purchase a quantity of high priced photo graphs. What appears to be an amaz- ing willingness on the part of the photographer to cooperate, is. in re ality business risk assumed by the photographer in the belief that he will make } profit by selling photo graphs.
 Business executives who are so- licited to pay for newspaper public ity are reminded that reputable newspapers and news gathering agencies serving the press do not accept fees for the publication of news or photographs and that any material that is not news finds its way promptly to the waste basket. If an individual is prominent enough to warrant a newspaper giving his biography or photograph space in their files. the chances are that one of the accredited press agencies will have supplied the data, as regular feature of it's service to it's subscrib- CTS and without cost to the subject, or if they haven't they can flash the necessary data over the wires promptly whenever there is any oc- casion for using It,
 The National Better Business Bureau will willingly assist business executives to get the facts regarding any organization masquerading as a Press Association that offers to publish their biography for a con- alteration"

FRENCH DAVIS CUP
 HEADS AVOID TAXES
Battles With Department to
 Prevent Levy

Paris, July 19 (UP)-The French Davis Cup committee is battling with the French tax department to prevent the taxing by the French government of the shares of Davis Cup gate earnings which are allotted to the nations playing in the final and challenge rounds.
 The French government is willing enough to exempt the share of the French committee. on the grounds that the announcement of tennis serves to develop, athletically, youths for the French conscript army However, the tax department con- tends that it cannot see why the shares of foreign countries should be exempt since tennis in America. Germany or Japan cannot possibly help the physique of French soldiers.
 If the tax department wins in it's contention, the United States or any other nation reaching the finals will see it's share cut by Is per cent, representing the state tax on enter tainments of a sporting nature.
 The French committee, realizing that foreign tennis bodies would ob- ject to paying such a heavy tax, nas been actively fighting the tax off cials claim. The matter has not VI been formally decided, but it is be- lieved probable today that the tax department will waive it's tax claims for 1880. but continues it's suit 10 collect back taxes from gates before 1928.
 The argument reached such pro- portions at one time that the French committee threatened to take the Davis Cup finals and challenge rounds to Ostend or elsewhere out side of France. That threat is be- lieved to have had much to do with changing the position of the tax col lectors.

 The Real solution
 The solution of the gang mur- ders in this city is to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. The gang sters are killing each other for the control of the liquor business, the vice business and the gambling bus mess, etc. If we consistently raided these establishments and suppressed them we'd take the profit out of the business and there'd be nothing for the gangsters to fight over. Until We do that we'll have crime. AS long as our dry laws, our anti gambling laws and our prostitution laws go unetforced, we'll have gang stars."
 Judge Bruce paused DO you realize" he continued that there are 6o.000 boys arrested in Chicago each year? That S5 per cent of all our criminals are between the ages Of r and 262 Kids!
 Out there, in the slums-that's where they are. We've let 'em go. We can't cure our crime waves by hanging men and by sending them to prison and by passing laws. We've got to start at the bottom"

SOVIETS UNMOVED
 OVER CONFERENCE
Sino-RusSian Farley Fails to
 Stir Red Leaders

Harbin North Manchuria, July 19 P-Re representatives of Soviet Russia in North Manchuria apparently are not greatly concerned regarding the outcome of the Sino-Russian confer ence in Moscow. While none of them may be quoted, the writer obtained the impression after talking with leading representatives of the Mes COW government in its consular serv- ice and in the cement of the Chinese Eastern railway-a joint Chinese Russian enterprise-that so far as Moscow is concerned the Sino- Soviet conflict of last summer and fall is over and that the terms of the agreement signed in Habarovsk are the basis of present relations.
 It will be recalled that China ex- pelled many of the Soviet employees of the Chinese Eastern railway and assumed virtual control Of the line last summer, charging the Soviet citizens with engaging in Communist propaganda in violation of the 1924 treaty between the two countries. The conflict was settled only after

Sharp Turn in Anthracite Crisis

matey 10000 miners were thrown into the army
OF unemployed Since the sharp drop in produc-
ton, in Sept and Oct. unemployment Is increas-
ing and part time work is becoming greater
Meanwhile due to the 51a year slave agreement
the conditions of the workers have worsened
The 51s year agreement is an attempted chain
to tie the Anthracite miners to the chariot of
the coal operators. The miners realize this and
are therefore rebelling against it. Although the
agreement strictly outlaws" strikes and in spite
of the bitter opposition of the fascist leadership
to strikes, several strikes one of these involving
5000 miners, took place since the agreement
was signed
There is a mass opposition to the check off
system. This in spite Of the fact that the check
OH for years was one of the most pressing de-
mands by the miners in the Anthracite. The
operators were bitterly opposed to it. But since
the U.MW.A. has been completely transformed
into fascist company union the operators to-
gether with the fascist leadership of the UNI
Wa, have forced the check off upon the miners.
This was necessary due to the fact that the
great majority of the miners refused to pay dues
to the company union. The check off has forced
all OF the miners to become members of the
U.MW.A. and to pay dues to it,
This mass opposition to the check of is being
the local officials we're collecting dues directly
from the miners without any one controlling
them AS result the local officials were making
their living on widespread graft and all of them
we're well dressed lived in beautiful homes and
rode in expensive automobiles. Now the situa-
uon has changed. The district officials are COL
lectlng dues directly through the company
oflces Then the local share is returned to the
local officials But in most cases the district
officials are getting the local share on account of
back dues. Thus the local officials are deprived
OF their fat income by the district and national
fascist leadership who are also wanting fat in
comes. Hence the corrupt local leadership is
now utilizing the dissatisfaction of the miners in
an attempt to abolish the check of and to regain
us lost privileges Hence again fake rump con-
ventions. All of this is tending to mislead and
further enslave the Anthracite miners.
This situation gives the Mine, Oil and Shelter
Workers Industrial Union an excellent oppor-
tunity to unmask the national, district and local
leadership of the company union (UMWA).
1t gives us golden opportunity to gain the con-
hdence and leadership Of the Anthracite miners,

Secretary of the M.O.S.WI.U.

Secretary of the MO.S.WLU.
THE crisis IN the Anthracite region did not ex-
press :tself SO sharply in the past year as it
did In the Bituminous field. The capitalists and
their agents Of the fascist U.MW.A. were boast
ing OF this fact particularly az the time of the
81 year slave agreement was signed. At that
time the miners we're told that prosperity in
the Anthracite was possible because the bosses
were willing" to cooperate with and to accept
the terms Of labor"
However the boasting of the bosses and their
agents is not effective any longer The undis-
putabe facts OF the sharpening crisis, admitted
even by the bosses themselves, speaks so loud
that any word of boasting is Immediately
drowned. The crisis in the Anthracite is catch
ing up with and oven surprising the profound
crisis of the Bituulinous 1leld. This is clearly
shown by the figures recently published by the
United States B,iro OF Mines. Those figures by
10 means exaggerate the crisis in the Anthracite.
The production OF the Anthracite region for
the month of Aug. IN each OF the S years-1926
1885, according to the Buro OF Mines, on an
average vas follows; In 1926-7,o36455 tons;
IN 1875 674,630 tons; in 1925, 279,005 tons;
1885, 360i50 tons and in l93o--482l, 100 tons.
The continual drop in the production in the
years Is sef-evdent 1t will be noticed that the
drop Is about II million tons year
But The drop since last Aug has taken a very
sharp bTn. The production in Sept, 1880, was
only 1899 405 tons or almost 1000 900 tons less
than in Aug. of the same year. The drop is a
Single month of 1880 is almost as big as in any
Of two Of the five years combined.
The drop in Oct is still more profound In a
snsis week ending Oct 18th, the production
dropped an additional SOB 900 tons in comparison
WITT the previous weekend. Oct. 18th. Here
ths drop is greater in one week than previously
IN one year.
The average daily production in the week of
Oct 18TH. 1929 was $4,000 tons, while in 1880
IN the cane week it was 217,ooO TONS Almost
100000 tons daily decrease.
Those ngrres, taken from the Buro of Mines
repo-ts, show the very decision and sharp turn
Of tho deepening crisis in the Anthracite AS

MILWAUKEE has a socialist mayor 1t has had

9Th the unemployed, under the leadership of the
Communist Party, marched through the streets
of Milwaukee demonstrating against unemploy-

capitalist law and order" and make the world
safe for the masters turned the demonstration
into riot, charged into the crowd of workers,
bloodily beating up the unemployed. All this
on the excuse of protecting lone individual who
had gotten up on a box to make speech in
favor of the socialist mayor Hoan. Not satisfied
with rioting against the workers they broke into
Communist Party headquarters-and discovered
a number Of Pioneers and an old couple watch
ing game of checkers. This peaceful scene did
not prevent them from wrecking the place. At
the same time the police arrested f1fty-one
workers.
In Milwaukee as in New York, the job of
casting all blame on the Communists began.
Mayor Hoan as quoted by the socialist Mil

Communists have attempted to stir up trouble
with the police that would result in arrests"
