Early in his youth, Nathan Straus made up his mind as soon as he Was able ne would do all he could to help the other fellow"
 He was prompted to make that resolution because lack of money many times prevented him from satisfying his own hunger and to him hunger became the typification of all suffering.
 In later life he was enabled to carry out the determination of his boy-hoOd, it being said that he spent more than S2,500,000 in philanthropie,, mostly in relieving the poor.
 The work which brought great est recognition to MT. Straus was the distribution to the children of New York of pasteurzed milk, a system he originated and maintain ed at his own expense many years. | ilAo lupol dtoi4to u4stl iuul4HS lHe milk at one cent bottle, were credited with having saved the liv es of thousands of babies in the metropolitan district
 Other philanthropies included the distribution of coal during the panic of 1899 at the rate of 25 pounds for five cents: the main tenance of lodging houses supply i ing bed and breakfast for the same amount, and the esta blishment ! of Tuberculosis Preventorium for ! Children at Farm ngdale. N.

E. MACHADO GIVEN
VOLUNTARYLEAVE
Faced Death In Exile
to Venezuela

NEW YORK.-After a fight of
over a half year, the New York Dis
trict of the International Labor De-
Tense has forced the U. S. Depart
ment Of Labor to reverse its decision
to deport Eduardo Machado, militant
Latin American worker, to Venezuela,
and to grant him voluntary de-
parture to Soviet Russia.
Machado, editor of vida Obrera. ("
Communist weekly in the Spanish
language, was arrested early this year
and ordered deported to the fascist
terror regime of Venezuela where
death or long Imprisonment awaited
him. The New York 1. L. D. organ
lied struggle to save him, as it did
in the cases of r. H. Ii and Guido
Serio. An appeal from the original
Department of Labor decision in the
Machado case was taken to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals, but the Labor
Department, under pressure of the
organized mass protest, has now it
self reversed the decision. Isaac Shorr
was the l. L. D. attorney in the case.
Machado will leave for the U. S.
S. R. together with Guido Serio, the
Italian worker whom the l. l.. D. has
saved from Mussolini's hangmen. A
big mass farewell banquet for both
workers will be given Sunday, Nov.
90, at 6 p. m in Irving Plaza, 18th
st. and Irving Place.

Oregon Syndicalist Cases
All Dismissed; Campaign Must Go On to Free
Boloff, Previously Convicted

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 16.-All the
oregon criminal syndicalism cases
were dismissed today upon motion Of
the prosecution. The discrediting OF
the stool pigeon, Bacon, and the
mass protest and flood of kilograms
demanding release of these workers
got results.
The arrests took place in Septem-
Der, 1880, in the course Of general
raids by police. Thirteen of those ar
rested were charged with criminal
syndicalism and others were held for
deportation. The stool pigeon, M. R
Bacon, testified to fanciful story
about the Communists plotting vio-
lence and about a mythical "expro-
priation committee" which, he said
was headed by Paul Munter, aged %,
and Communist Party member.
The first trial was that Of Ben
Boloff, who was convicted, sentenced
to 10 years, his conviction affirmed
