To Boo or Not to Boo

All the sports writer's of the boss prest,
been discussing the question whether lie
right or not for the baseball crowd AR
adelphia World Series game to have boo Z
President Of these Benighted States Whe
1t was ethical" or not was decided bye
crowd, which rszzed Hooey Hoover both n
he came and when he departed
Maybe it was because all the banks in Pr
went bust the day before. Anyhow it horrii
all those who think that because stock sW1
Ter gets elected to the presidency that he
comes holy, sacred, divine.
About this swindling business: We've be
looking over book that tells some of the d
on Hoover, 1.-THE Strange Career of Mr. Hoover
by John Hamill, published by William Fa
Inc, New York City. Written by a capital
and from that viewpoint it still gives the ID
down on Angel Face Fatty
On page 60 it quotes a letter Hoover wrot
some years ago, when he was busy at-"the
great science of extracting the greatest possible
amount Of money from some other human be-
ing, as he put it. On the same page since
Hoover is now moving warships to save China
from Japan" we call attention to Hamis re-
mark Save the Chinesei Was it not in 1915
when he CHoover) had hundreds of millions for
relief, that Chinese coolies were dropping dead
Of hunger at Hoover's mines in BurmaP"
Incidentally Hoover around 1900 was right in
China cheating the Chinese out of vast mining
concessions, tie Kaiping coal mines for exam
pie only Herbie got the hsmmer-lock ON the
British company he was working for by having
the deed made out to himself, personally, SO the
company had to give him big part of the swag.
On page 81. we learn in a quotation from
Hooyer's own report the Kaiping mines,
exactly what he thinks of workers. He says:
"The disregard for human life permits cheap
mining by the company by economy in timber
and the argrieved relatives are amply coma
pensated by the regular payment of $50 per
man lost"
CThe timber" mentioned is used in mines to
prevent the rock falling from the roof and
crushing the workers. We explain for the bene-
fit of you who a~o rot minersD
Perhaps you don't know that the British COM
pany, the Russo-he'atic Consolidated, with
which Hoover was BIZ cheese, has claim"
agaij,,t the s3viets TO- e43o,o0oooo for ats sup
po-ed concessions in m'1ing gotten under the
Gear That's lo~el ortse-, t'-a "sociel's+" Eill-
quit didn't get in on it b-'rg fcd with the Bril-
fish goverpt1ert in 100 f~c-, r-oo-,ars office
in London (see re~e 3N2 Of Fani'''s boelt)
From what We lcqr1 ca rage 800 you can
figure out why He-bia th'nts he Is goig to
save the banks bv pla.''r- a~curd with inflated
stocks. In November. 1919. he formed COM
pany to exploit Russian J-'i~es.k the "Irtych Cor
poration" Hith-says Femill-"a psid I'D capital
of $35, and nominal ceptol Of S1000o,000S
The ten million is a part CT the $280,o00,0o0
"claim" of the Russo-tsatc Consolidated
against the Bolsheyks who upset Herbies APPLE
cart. No wonder Herbie detssts Bolsheviks!
There is also funny story of man named
Herbert Clark Emery" who got gold mine in
Nicaragua, with a photostat copy of the Mica
the original vanished from the N. Y Public
Library the day after he got it photographed.
Funny, Ell? But there's lot of funny things
in this book
