A BOrah Republican Party?
From the Milwaukee Journal.

from the milwaukee journal.
Wonder of wonders! Senator Borah
is now mentioned as the probable
white hope of the Republican party
in 1885, But then-Borah is always
mentioned two or three years before a
decision Is to be made. Borah is
counted a liberal, but never deserts
the party sheep fold. Borah is looked
upon by his colleagues as acceptable
to some millions of persons to whom
Ogden Mills, Jim Wadsworth or Bert
rand Smell would be anathema
What kind of President would Bo-
rah be? His latest issue crops out at
the very time the boomlet for 1886
appears. There should be a Govern
ment-controlled central bank, says
Borah. For under the present sys-
tenn the amount of money in circula-
ton is regulated by those interested
in whether there is more or less" And
those interested are those who control
and have controlled Republican party
leadership at least since Mark Hanna!
To look to such a Borah would be to
propose revolution in Republican
ranks.
Somebody seems to be kidding
somebody.

| temporarily, action by the League of

the Albania-Serb controversy; the
Italian Greek controversy, over the
murder of several Greek officials near

Sadors; the action concerning war
criminals; ordering Germany to re-
place the plane allotted to the United

which they recommended to the
League or World Court for action.

Mother Bloor Trial
Over Police Attack
Is Set in Nebraska

NEW YORK.-Mother Ella
Reeve Bloor has just received
notice from the court in Loup
City, Sherman County, Neb., that
she must appear for trial on
Sept. 10 on the appeal case
growing out of the police attack
and arrests at a mass meeting
last June.
Five farmers, Floyd Booth and
his wife, Negro organizers, and
Mother Bloor were sentenced in
June because they helped to Or
ganize and also to make public
the terrible conditions women
were forced to work under in the
Fairmont Creameries in Loup
City.
At the meeting a group of
thugs brutally attacked the farm
ers, almost killed Burt Smell,
farmer who is now workers can
didate for Congress, and injured
scores of workers.

if he thought the workers were
fighting for themselves he might
have stayed home. He declared his
unity with the top leadership of the
A. F. of l.. by saying that anyone
who issues leaflets which disagree
with the national leaders of the
strike are betraying the textile
strike"
Like German he tried to confuse
the workers by making them think
that the Communists were fighting
for something different than the
strike demands.
Several hundred Paterson silk
strikers swooped down on the
Botany Worsted Plant in Passaic in
flying squadrons" which were or
ganized here this morning. This
was the first attempt which had
been made to bring out the Passaic
plant since the historic strike in
1926. Throughout the late morni1o
and noon hours the Botany workers
heard the militant yells and sing
ing Of the picket line.
Many unemployed Passaic textile
workers joined the strikers on the
line. The strikers left the Botany
plant several hours and marched to
the Polish Hall, where a brief meet
ing was held and arrangement;
made for further picketing in Pas
sale.

Somebody shouted that there was
no water pressure. There was only
a little water coming out of some of
the hoses, whether because of lack
of water pressure or because the
valves were't opened, I don't know.
"At any rate, there wasn't much
use in manning the fire hoses and
we started making our way to the
boat deck. We saw three passengers
and pushed them up to the boat
deck ahead of us. They couldn't find
