[ aF0llette Running
Mate Leads Eviction
Of Many Unemployed

MADISON, Wise, Sept. 18.-In the
fight between the regular" Republic
ans and the La-Follette so-called
Progressive" Republicans, a good
deal of information is coming out.
The regulars have exposed the fact
that LaFollettes man for attorney
general, Leonard Fons, is lawyer
for his real estate owning family in
scores of eviction cases of workers
who cannot pay their rent because
of unemployment.
The Pons family, with the candidate
for attorney general handling the
legal reins, attacks principally poor
Polish families. The regulars" are
circulating leaflets giving a list OF
95 such evictionS.
In plenty of cases the REGULARS"
have done the same, so jobless work
ers chance to avoid evictions is not
in voting for either, but for Commu-
nism and unemployment relief and
insurance, also by mass opposition to
evictions led by Unemployed Coun-
ellis.

The armed struggle between Am

battle ensued its ninth day yesterday
The fort is now completely sur
rounded by Paraguayan troops which
are energetically pressing the attack
to re-capture it from the Bolivians
who seized it on July 81 in surprise
attack. The local successes of the
Paraguayans have forced the Amer

other U. S. imperialists to come out
openly in support of the Bolivians,
helping in the training of Bolivian
troops, the organization of the Red

new directives have just been issued
altering the nature of the mass tech

directivss, the instruction given must
be of such nature that tie workers
first receive the technical knowl-
edge ensuring that they do not man
age their own machines, enabling
them to make small reparations, to
lessen waste, to achieve higher
production and thus to improve their
own material position.

Factory is Like Jail
The men in the Niles plant of Re-
public Steel are worse off today than
men in the penitentiaries. Rollers
in Niles are not allowed to leave
their stardings-that is, when their
iron is being sheared, they are not
even allowed to go over and see that
it is being opened alright
Each and every man in the plant
is supposed to stay at his place Of
work-you are not even allowed to
go out and walk around between
heats to get some air. even when it
is insufferably hot II you want to
go to the restaurant, you have just
che door to leave by and come in.
The floors around the mill are mark
ed cut with white paint in four-foot
walks and you must walk in between
the white markings. If you should
happen to get out of the line you
are liable to disc rye.
At the Niles Int there is one boss
in particular that. should be exposed
to all workers. He was formerly a
roller, and rotten one at that, and
he tries to tell the men how to do
their work when he doesn't know
himself how it should be done. His
name is A. j. Elias.

Circulating Library

HOUSTON, Texas-In many of
the outlying towns of the south, like
Houston where the Party is weak, we
are almost totally without literature.
Particularly higher priced books.
Now, many comrades in the larger

shelf that are not being used, such
as; Essentials of Marx, State and

If some comrades will send us such

A year ago measures we're adopted
for carrying through general tech

TALLEY ACQUITTED
BY POLICE BOARD
Detective Sergeant's Denial of IN
necessary Force in Arrest Cor
roborated at Trial.

Carlton Talley, a headquarters de-
tective sergeant, was acquitted yes
terday by special Police Trial Board
after two-day hearing on charges of
using unnecessary force to make an
arrest.
The decision was announced by In
spector o. T. Davis, chairman. Other
members Of the special board were
Herbert L. Davis, District superintend-
ent OF insurance, and A. r. Pilkerton,
deputy District auditor. The special
board was named by the District Com
missioners because the charges were
brought by a civilian
Talley denied all of the allegations
made by the complaining witness, Ray
mond Grimes, colored elevator opera
tor employed by the Washington Loan
& Trust Co. The detective said he
was cruising IN a police radio car
May 80, 1881, when he noticed Grimes
asleep in a parked automobile, the
lights of which were burning, at North
Capitol and G streets.
The detective said he removed
Grimes to the fourth precinct for in
vestigation after he failed to produce
drivers permit or registration card
Talley said he did not strike or other
wise miStreat the prisoner. He insist
ed Grimes acted as though he had been
drinking.
Several other policemen corroborated
Talleys statements
Numerous police officials testified to
Talley's good character the opening
day of the trial. Included were Lieut..
Ira e. Keck aide of Commissioner Her.
bert B. Crosby; Inspector Frank Burke,
chief of detectives, and Inspector Err
nest Brown, head Of the Traffic Bu-
reau.
James A. O'Shea represented Talley,
while Chester Gray, an assistant cor
poration counsel, conducted the prose-
cution.

TRACTION POWER
CLAUSE OPPOSED
Capper and Blaine Object to
Provision in Trolley Mer-
ger Resolution.

Although the street railway merger
resolution will be reported fayorably to
the Senate, probably sometime this
week, Senator Capper, Republican of
Kansas, committee chairman, and Sena-
tor Blaine. Republican Of Wisconsin,
will unite in opposing the clause In the
resolution fixing the terms under which
electric current would be furnished the
merged car company.
In making known yesterday his op-
position to the power clause as 1t stands
in the resolution, Senator Capper said
he believes the resolution as a whole
Is in better shape, with the amendments
made by the committee Friday, than 1t
has been heretofore, but that he does
not regard the power clause as fair and
will express q minority view on that
question.
Blaine Cites Objections.
Senator Blaine indicated yesterday
that, in addition to the power clause,
he has certain other questions under
consideration in connection with q
minority report. He did not go into
detail beyond saying that one other
question relates to the subject of valu-
alton procedure.
Three years ago, when a previous
merger plan was reported from the SEN
ate Committee, Senator Blaine filed a
minority report in which he advocated q
revision Of the procedure in utility valu-
alton cases generally in the District.
No final action was obtained at that
time
The power section, which Senators
Capper and Blaine will oppose, provides
that the new company shall take over
existing contracts of the Washington
Railway, and Electric Co. for the sale
OF power to other railway companies.
Later Subject to Review.
1t also provides that for a period of
Is years SO per cent Of the electric
power for the new company shall be
furnished in accordance with the pres
ent arrangement between the Potomac
Electric Power Co. and the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Co., with the
terms for the remaining 81 per cent
to be fixed by the utilities commits
sion. After the 15-year period it would
all be subject to review by the Public
Utilities Commission.

the war refugees of China, many OF
whom are reported to be in dire need.
BY this means 1t is hoped to supplement

RESIDENT HOOVER has a new

with a heroic plaster bust of
L George Washington, measuring
Z feet in height, with nose
several feet long and neck more
than feet in diameter
This bust of the first President was
presented to Mr.. Hoover yesterday by
Ernest Durig, Swiss sculptor, who has
been in Washington for some time. He
was presented to the President by the
Swiss Minister, Marc Peter.
President Hoover expressed great ad-
miration for the work of Mr. Durig and
praised him for his talent, but all the
while had quizzical expression on his
face, and during the conversation in
quired If any one could suggest good
place for the bust. 1t was decided that
the art work was too huge for the ex-
ecutive office or even the White House

the bust.
The President finally got the idea
Representative Sol Bloom of New York,
associate director of the George Wash
ington Bicentennial Commission, could
solve the problem for him. Mr. Hoo
yer suggested that probably the TO
tunda Of the Capitol or some other
space in public building might serve
the purpose.
The bust was brought to the execu-
tive office In truck bearing a sign on
either side, I'VE Move Anything" and
as it stood in the front grounds con-
siderable crowd gathered to watch the
four colored workmen lift the bust
from the truck and carry 1t to the
grounds Immediately in the rear of the
Presidents private office. 1t was never
brought into the building itself. Presi-
dent Hoover accompanied the sculptor
and the Swiss diplomat to the rear
grounds to view the work.
