According to reports from Puerto

American imperialism in Nicaragua

directly involved in the armed strug-

The National Miners Union has de-
clared full support of the strike of
over 10000 coal miners in western
Pennsylvania District 9. of the U.
M. W. but warns the miners to learn
a lesson from the Glen Alden strike
recently. betrayed by international,
district and local miSleaders, and
build their own strong rank and file
strike committees to lead the strug-
gle.
The capitalist papers in New York
yesterday carried news of the strike
of 10000 miners in District 9 of the
United Mine Workers of America
which is a strike covering practically
the whole district
It was stated that the strike was
called through meeting of repre-
Sentatives of locals, and that there
were 1900 Of these delegates at a

1t is stated in the capitalist press
that speeches in the meeting of the
delegates of District 9 denounced In
ternational President Lewis of the
UNIV, and his president of District 9,
Martin Bremen for allowing the
companies to discriminate, refuse
division of work, and cut wages. The
main demand of the District 9 local
delegates was for division of the
work, according to the press stories.
1t is stated on the same authority
that before this meeting of delegates,
1000 men had struck because of the
refusal of Locust Gap colliery Of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Co. to accept division.
Delegations are reported to have
been sent by the conference in Sham

endoah to enlist support. Both these
are in District 9.

SPRING GRID DRILLS
TO BE HELD AT YALE
Early Foot Ball Practice Is Ordered
Despite Student OPP
position.

NEW HAVEN, February 26.-In spite
Of opposition from the Yale Daily News
and different plans by rival institutions,
Yale will have foot ball practice this
Spring.
DR.. Marvin A. Stevens, Yale's varsity
coach, has announced his plans for the
Spring workout. He said that the prac-
tice would begin either March or
March g. according to weather condi-
tions, and would last four weeks, the
plan being to include 20 practice ses-
sions, regardless of when the season
opens.
It was not made known whether the
full coaching staff would be on hand,
but this being the usual procedure, it
was thought that all four varsity
coaches would be available. This means
that Benny Friedman, the latest addi-
ton to the Eli stah, will join Stevens,
Adam Walsh, who is resident Of New
Haven, and Charley Comerford.
The announcement came from Ste
vens, with the explanation, made to
members Of the foot ball squad, that
such Spring practice was necessary to
teach the players the fundamentals.
The plans were announced through
the columns of the Yale Daily News,
undergraduate daily, which has ex-
pressed critical opinions on many mat
ters concerning athletics this year.
Accompanying the foot ball an
nouncement the News printed a critical
editorial which claimed that such
Spring foot ball work "defies not only
the sentiments Of many a foot ball
player but likewise not a few of Yale's
opponents"
The News pointed out that "justi-
fication cannot be maintained on the
grounds that Yale needs projections
against her foot ball rivals" since Dart
mouth, Princeton and Army have
dropped Spring practice.

 IN APPEAL FOR RED CROSS FUND
Nation wide Broadcast Is Made Coolidge and
 Smith Join in

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. B. An appeal to the American people to donate $10,OO0,0O0 to the Red Cross drought relief, was broad cast in a nationwide net work of one hour last night.
 The voice of President Hoover led the appeal from Washington. The President said "It is unthink- able that any of our people should be allowed to suffer hunger and want. The heart of the nation will not permit"
 Former President Calvin Coolidge from Northampton, Mass, said there is scarcely national people that has not benefited from American generosity and now the misery of our own people cannot fail to receive the same response.
 Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith and Mary Pickford, from New York City, and Will Rogers from Little Rock, Arkansas, also spoke over the nationwide hook-up.

 AS RESULT OF
 NEE. CAMP A|CN
Victor Seymour and Groc. CT Norris Must Face
 Perjury Charges

LINCOLN, Nebraska, Jan. 23.- Victor Seymour, former Western Headquarters Manager of the Re- publican National Committee at Denver, is charged with perjury in an indictment returned by the Federal grand jury.
 George w. Norris, Broken Bow, Nebraska, grocer, who attempted to oppose Senator George Norris in the Senatorial race, is also in- dicted fer perjury.
 Both indictments result from testimony Seymour and Norris gave before the Nye Committee.
 Seymours indictment contained eight counts and grocer Norris's indictment two counts.
 Seymour told the Nye Commit tee he had not taken an active interest in the Nebraska campaig., and had no knowledge of the groc- CTS filing until the story appeared in the newspapers.
 Miss Esther Alton, former em- ployee of Seymour, told the com- mittee Seymour conducted straw vote to determine Senator Norris's opponent and that statement is- sued by grocer Norris at the time he filed for the Senatorial nom ination way typed in Seymour's of- flee.

conjunction with the American, Japanese and British warcraft that have been patrolling that stream.
 But the most the boats can do is to keep the reds and other raiders off the banks The job of hunting them down in the hills must fall to planes and infantry units.
 Tn one respect the new campaign differs widely from previous ban dit-suppressing attempts. Hitherto outlaws who faced extermination have saved their necks by enlisting with the. forces of law and order to become later menaces to disci- pline and loyalty within the gov ernment ranks.
 Marshal Uhlang has ordered his subordinates to show no mercy IT this campaign. He also has put a ban on the old custom of quarter ing troops upon the countryside and levying tribute from towns for the ostensible purpose of paying soldiers engaged in protecting the population from robbers.
 The nationalist leader has issued stringent orders that the troops employed in this winters campaign are to be paid only by the central government, and has planned to restore property and homes to vic- tims of bandit and communistic outrages.
