I.SNR PLEDGES
AID TO YOKINEh.
Will Mobilize Negro
and White Masses

NEW YORK.-Recognizing that
August Yokinen, the defendant in
|. last Sundays mass trial, was arrested
and held for deportation by immi-
grafton authorities precisely because
he admitted his error in harboring
chauvinistic tendencies against the
Negro workers and pledged himself
to correct this error by participating
in the front ranks of the struggle for
Negro rights, the executive bureau
of the League of Struggle for Negro
Rights sent the following telegram
to Yokinen shortly before his release
on $500 bond from Ellis Island:
"In the name of 100000 perse-
cuted Negroes in the United States,
we congratulate you on your open
and courageous admission of your
mistakes and your firm, working
class pledge to carry on a militant,
unceasing struggle against all mani
festations of race prejudice.
I'm the name of the oppressed Ne
gro toilers suffering under the yoke
of the anti-foreign-born, Jim Grow
government of the United States
Which is trying to deport you to a
country of certain death for the
crime" of advocating race equality,
we pledge to mobilize millions of
Negro and white workers in your
defense.
I'VE further pledge to fight the
vicious propaganda of Negro mis-
leaders like Oscar DePriest, Dubois
and Motion, who join the white rul-
ing class in attacking the foreign
born and Negro workers.
Long live the solidarity of Negro
and white, native and foreign born
workers!
Down with Negro reformists, the
tools Of the anti-working class, Jim
Grow government!
Smash all deportations and race
discrimination laws!
Fight for full equality for Ne
groes and for the right of self deter
mination Of Negroes in the Black
Belt!
Join the League Of Struggle for
Negro Rights!
Support the Liberator!'
Executive Buro, League Of
Struggle for Negro Rights"

The Daily Worker Faces Suspension !!

The Daily Worker faces suspension to-
morrow. We are only able to appear to-
day after extraordinary efforts and after
jeopardizing the position of the Freiheit

This is due to the failure of agents and
districts to pay their bills. Over $4,000 in
debts are now outstanding. Bundles are
not paid for. Money raised at Daily
Worker affairs is not promptly sent in.
Today must mark the beginning of a
decisive change. All districts and agents
must Immediately make payments Money

bills must be paid promptly or bundles will
be cut off.
Remember Money by telegraph to-

Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 9.-Grain prices
went upward early today, stimulated by
storm effects in the corn belt and by
curtailment of wheat stocks at Liver
pool. The amount of wheat on ocean
passage showed 2,52o000 bushels de-
crease, compared with week ago.
Starting at 3sa34 cents advance,
corn later held near to the initial
range. Wheat opened Il of to 70 up,
and subsequently scored an additional
advance.
indications that the peak of the
seasons movement of corn had been
passed helped to strengthen prices. At
fected by rough weather, Chicago re-
ceipts totaled but liz cars, against 364
a week ago and 1872 at this time last
year. Primary arrivals were only $780,
600 bushels, compared with 1,377000 a
week back and 1872 900 on the cor
responding day of 1880.
Wheat advanced despite primary re-
ceipts aggregating 2,455,000 bushels,
against 1884 900 a week ago and 894,-
900 at this time last year Liverpool
reported demand better, with Canadian
and Argentine offers firmer. In France.
the weather was extra unfavorable, and
a heavy abandonment of wheat acreage
was predicted. midas production was
forecast as $1,000 900 bushels less than
last year. Oats sympathized with
wheat and corn.
Provisions responded to upturns in
hog values.

FAILURE OF KENTUCKY
BANK IS reviewed
Controller Pole Says Troubles Were
Caused by Excessive Loans
to Officials.

Unlawful excessive loans to Rogers
Caldwell and his associates, together
with loans TO employees and officers, coll
lateraled by Banco-Kentucky stock,
were given as the cause of the failure
OF the National Bank of Kentucky, in
q report made by Controller of the Cur
rency Pole to the Glass Financial In
quiry Committee.
Criticisms Of the conduct of officers
OF the bank were first made by the
controller in 1925. At that time slow
and doubtful assets amounted to 81 $780,
600 and 1924, 600, respectively.
These items increased until October
ID, 1880, when slow assets were $4,542,-
900 and doubtful assets $3.50, 900, to-
gether with losses of 81, 1856 900.
Total loans made TO Rogers Caldwell
and afnliates aggregated $2,065, 900, COLI
lateral largely by stock of the Inter.
Southern Life Insurance Co. The bank
was carrying at time Of failure 100000
shares of the stock of the Banco-Ken-
lucky Corporation, an affiliate created
by the banks, which was given a book
value OF 81 $40, 900
Failure of Caldwell & Co. resulted In
slow run on the bank which could not
be checked, the controller said, and its
resources were being rapidly exhausted.
In order to preserve its resources, the
controller closed the bank on November
II, 1890.

TOBACCO SALES TOTAL
S4.678.724 AT DANVILLE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DANVILLE, Va, March 9.-The Dan
vile tobacco market closed the 1885,
81 season with the total sales ag-
gregating 5O,22I,787 pounds, which
brought, S4,67s, 724.82, or an average Of
$9. 03 per hundred pounds.
The season just closed was probably
the worst marketing season within the
memory of the present generation, with
the product averaging less than 10 cents
a pound, or less than the cost of pro-
duction.
However, the desired types brought
what was considered good prices, but
this was offset by the large amount of
inferior leaf, for which there was little
demand. The drought was big factor
in the general poor quality.
