TRY This ON A MULE
But FIRST CALL UP
YOUR UNDERTAKEN

Washington, D. C. - Business
and politics have failed to solve
the most serious of all postwar
problems, now give Religion a
chance, urges Doctor Henry A.
Atkinson. Put Prosperity up to
the churches.
Doctor Atkinson is the general
secretary and organizer of the
World Conference for Information
al Peace through religion, which,
in November, 1882, will bring to-
gether in Washington leaders of
all the major religions to consider
how the church people of the
world-Christians, Jews, Moham-
medans, Buddhists and all the 9th
er great sects-can best cooperate
to prevent war. Economic condi-
tons will undergo no permanent
Improvement, he believes. until the
world has better assurance of
peaceful future. In a report to
his executive committee, which in
cludes such leaders as Doctor S.
Parkes Cadman, Doctor Einstein
of Germany, Doctor Tagore of In
dia, and the Lord Bishop of Liver
pool, England, Doctor Atkinson
says:
Wherever one turns one finds
cynicism in the face of existing
conditions and skepticism regard
ing any possibility of a peaceful
future. Economic conditions are
bad all the world over. At a time
when the industries of the world
should be taxed to their utmost
capacity to build up what was de-
stroyed during the years of the
war, we find the wheels slowing
down, or they have come to a COM
rlete stop. The religions of the
world have at their command the
force for helping humanity at this
juncture of world affairs. If the
combined religious, moral and spir-
itual resources of mankind co-pr-
dinated and brought to bear upon
these problems cannot help, then
there is no help possible"

EXPLOITED WORK
ERS TAKE ABONUS
Montana School of Mines Gradu-
ates IN Bolivia. Tell of Expert
ence In Revolution.

Butte, Nov. 24.-At Llallagua,
Bolivia, more than $4,000 feet
above the sea, the location of the
worlds greatest tin mine, the re-
cent revolutionary outbursts of
South America were such that sent
a Montana School of Mines gradu-
ate fleeing into the mountains on
an early morning a few weeks ago.
Jacob ]. Drummer, research fellow
in ore dressing at the Montana
mining college, recently received a
letter from John J. Mccarthy, a
friend of his in the class of 1929,
now an efficiency engineer for Pa
tino Mines and Enterprises Con-
solidated in the Andes, who tells
of his travels and adventures since
graduating as a mining engineer.
Excerpts from the letter follow:
"At present l am working for a
tin mine up in Bolivia-and l mean
up. We live at an elevation of
$4,000, and the mine is all over
this level, extending to 1890 feet.
1t is the largest single tin mine in
the world. Right now in slack
times there are over 5000 men in
the mine, about 1000 on the sur
face and another 1900 in the mill.
The whole mine is run by about
twenty Americans.
Ordinarily the place is pretty
dull, but when excitement does
come it is in entirely too violent
form. You have read in the
papers about the revolution in
Bolivia. Until recently most of the
fighting had been confined to the
bigger cities, but about three
weeks ago an organized outbreak
occurred here.
"The night shift, coming off
shift early one morning and lead
by communists decided 10 capture
and take over the mills. It seems
they We're led to believe that by
getting rid of the gringos Gamer
icans) they could then take oven
the mine, run it as a cooperative
and share in the profits. They
were a little slow in getting start
ed with their attack, and we man
aged to get wind of what was up
and clear out. l myself just got
out the back way, with nothing but
a pair of pants over my pajamas
and a pair of shoes on, before the
fighting started and the rocks be-
gan flying.
"The seIni-darlness of the early
hours of the morning aided us
considerably. We walked to an
other small town few miles away
and stayed there for the day, and
by night we heard that the gov
eminent had sent in a troop of
cavalary and without much fight
ing had dispersed the workers.
Since then there has been no sign
of further trouble. There are $50
soldiers stationed here.
According to Mr.. Mccarthy, the
workers captured the homes of the
mine officials. And the huge COM
pany store-"Well, the workers
just packed away that place, men,
women and children carrying off
every damned thing. The loss
to the company is well over $780,
600. In less than one hour there
was a complete turnover of all
stock on hand. I'll bet there are
few stores which can show such
quick turnover!'
The workers of these tin mines
work IL hour shifts for about a
dollar a day salary. Their exploit
tation. is terrible.

DENVER, April 15.-Jouett Shouse,
chairman of the Democratic national
executive committee, last night criticized
the Hoover administration and the
Republican majorities in Congress for
their stand on the tariff and efforts at
farm relief. Mr.. Shouse spoke at a JEFF
ferson day dinner Of Denver County
Democrats.
I'VE have been told recently through
Government statistics that there are
from 100000 to 100000 unemployed
in the United States today" said Mr..
Shouse. The Fordney McCumber tar
if of 1922 is still in effect. Are we to
take the situation in the fabric mills Of
New England or the present status of
agriculture in the West as the measure
of the prosperity secured under the
tariff policy so emphat1cally urged by
Mr.. Hoover?"
The speaker commented that while sit
Is perhaps too early to pronounce the
Hoover farm relief system a failure, the
Federal Farm Board certainly has
demonstrated that as tipSter in Specu-
lation it cannot qualify"
Referring to the pending tariff bill,
Mr.. Shouse observed: Every time the
Grundybund has added an oStensible
dollar to the farmers hypothetical bene-
fits from the tariff they have taken
pains to slip in provision exposing him
to the penalty Of paying $40 on the In
dustrial schedule"
