COSTA RIGA, Sept. 23-President
Jimenez of Costa Rica has called 8
/ special meeting Of Congress for the
purpose of "suspending the Con-
gressional immunity of Communist
Congressman Mora" Manuel Mora
is the secretary of the Communist
Party of Costa RIGA and an active
leader of the strike of 1000 banana
workers, which has been led by
the Communist Party since the
workers laid down their tools on
Aug. 8.
From the first, the government
used its troops not only 20 gusrd
strike breakers and to attack the
strikers, but to work on the plan
tations. Thirty Nicaraguans have
been deported, as agents Of Mos
cow; the terror has been in
creased, and a member Of the Cen
trail Committee of tn c. P. has
been shot down by the police.
On Sept. 2, the strikers, backed
solidly by the Communist Party.
by sympathetic intellectuals and
by the building workers, the tail
ors, the needle workers and the
shoemakers, left-wing trade unions,
seemed to have won a victory.
They had agreed to government
arbitration, and accepted wage in
creases ranging from five per cent
to ninety percent, and a reduction
from eight 10 six hours work a
day, and wo1 the promise Of pay
in real money (they had formerl;'
been paid in script, redeenlable
only at company Stores) HOSPITALS
to be installed on each plantation,
fair prices in the company stores,
decent living quarters, and most of
their tools to be supplied by the
owners and the United Fruit Co.
Boss Refuses to Sign.
The strike committee signed the
agreement, and also the plantation
owners. Mr.. Chittendon, the man
ager of the United Fruit Company
in Costa Rica, refused to sign, ION
account of special considerations"
The strike continued, in full
/ force.
All the fascist and imperialist
forces at work have not broken
the spirit OF the strike. The in
fluence OF the Communist Party
reaches over the whole country.
The peasants and the workers and
the small traders have not for
gotten the movement, start d
with the backing of the Commu-
mist Party, which recently forced
a reduction of 25 per cent in
power rates, and continues it's
struggle for another % per cent.
Contributions to the strike fund
continue to pour in. Delegations
of school teachers and intellectuals
have helped the strikers, and the
harbor- workers of Limon have pre-
vented the loading of United Fruit
Company freighters.
The Anti-Imperialist League of
the United States has sent the
following telegram of protest to
the Costa Rican Minister, stating
"T'he Anti-Imperialist League OF
the United States vigorously pro-
tests the shooting of Cerdas, a
leader of the banana strike, a
bloody act which shows that the
Government Of Costa RIGA is car
rying the policy of the United
Fruit Company and Yankee i'm
perialiSm, which is instigating the
bloody terror in Costa Rica.
I'VE demand the withdrawal of
the armed guard from Cerdas' bed
side, his unconditional, immediate
release, punishment for all respon-
sible for the shooting, and hold
you responsible for his safety.
I'VE further protest the proposed
expulsion of the two Communist
Deputies in the Congress of Costa
RIGA and demand that such ac-
ton be dropped

The Most Burning Question =
Unity Of Action

ton have opened the eyes OF many Social Demo-
cratic workers and thus encouraged the struggle
for unity of action. We need only give or two
examples: France-the offensive Of fascist organi-
cations and the introductions of the emergency
decree system; CzechO- SIOvakia-enlergency decree
regime not only against the German Nazis but also
in the whole sphere of social policy, based on the
Czech fascist movements; Belgum-plenary power
to act for the government; England-the offensive
of the fascist Mosley aided by the newspaper king
Lord Rothermere Switzerland-the Haeberlin bill
against the labor movement and the growing
tvity of the fascist fronts advances of the fascists
in all Baltic and Balkan countries. In all these
countries there has been an increasingly rapid
growth of the urge to unity among the workers.
BURIAL OF THE BOYCOTT
A. We should also mention the tacit and un-
honored burial of the boycott against goods from
Hitler Germany. We Communists had predicted
that this boycott Of goods would not be carried into
effect and that the agitation for this boycott would
only be carried on 50 long the interests of the
bourgeoisie in the various countries permitted it..
The bankruptcy Of the idea of a boycott against
goods from Hitler Germany has proved the neces-
sity of revolutionary struggle against fascism
S. However the most important factor causing
change of feeling among the broadest masses of
the working class was the collapse of Austrian So
ciaI- Democracy in February this year. In Austria
it was not only ore Social Democratic Party which
collapsed-a party which had boosted of having in
vented western methods" of building socialism, in
volving no sacrifices on the part of the workers.
In Austria clear proof provided that the
unity of great and powerful social-Democratc
Party does not yet denote the unity of the working
class and that strong militant unity of the working
class can only be achieved if the workers in poll
teal and trade union organizations reject all class
collaboration with the bourgeosie.
All these phenomena today are to large ex-
tent facts of experience for the Social-Democratc
workers and those in reformist organizations and
even for many Social-D Democratic and trade union
functionaries. The presence of such facts of ex-
perence has enabled us to repeat our offers of a
united front and has yielded the first successes of
these proposals

10000 Welsh Miners
May Strike on Sunday

, CARDIFF, Wales, Sept. 23.-Union
delegates and mine owners met
Tuesday without result. Miners
continued to demand wage increases
to meet the rising cost Of living and
rejected arbitration proposals in
favor of the operators.
The cost Of living, as shown by
official statistics, has gone up As per
cent, while wages, figured on the
basis Of full work, have increased
only 81 per cent since 1915.
If no agreement is reached by
Sept. 30, 10000 coal miners through
out the Welsh basin will strike.

Take Advantage of
Wheat Allotment
Farmer Interested Can Be Served
at County Agents Office,
st. Cloud

Wheat growers interested in TAX
ing advantage of the wheat alot-
ment plan and did not come in on
it last fall have just this week to
take advantage of this government
contract. Growers should come to
the county agents office, st. Cloud,
for assistance with their contracts.
With the vast amount of work now
going on with seed loans and corn
and hog contracts, no time is avail
able to put on an organized cam
paign in the distant points of the
county.
All producers who wish to take
advantage of the contract should
come prepared with a rough sketch
of their farms showing the .oca-
ton and sizes of fields of the var
ious crops that they had planted
in 1888. They should likewise have
at their finger tips the acreages
and production of wheat for he
years 1880, 1881. and 1882, these be-
ing the base years.
A new ruling has come out in
connection with this wheat pro-
gram, making it possible for folks
that grow wheat only in 1882 and
1888 to take advantage of the con-
tract. Complete details are not yet
available, but so far the informa-
ton leads one TO believe that the
1882 acreage becomes the base acre
age on which the farm allotment
is figured and benefit payments, of
course, are made on the farm allot-
ment that is so determined.
There is perhaps only a limited
number of folks that would be af-
fected by this ruling whereby grow
ers of wheat in 1882 and 1888 would
be able to come in on the contract.
Nevertheless, their attention is
called to- it and if they so desire,
they may take advantage of the
plan.

LADY IN AUTO WRECK

The following story from the Say
vile, L. L., newspaper will be of
interest to many Herald readers:
Mrs. Herbert A. Falk had her
new sedan badly damaged on Tues
day afternoon through no fault of
her own. She had driven to Patch
ogue, accompanied by Miss Rose
Wosch and Mrs. Roger Lafferran-
DIRE and was waiting for the traffic
light at the corner of Main Street
and Ocean avenue when big
beer truck backed out from the
curb and into her car. Mrs. Falk
was second in line and other cars
were close behind her so she could
do nothing but blow her horn. The
other driver, however, was un-
conscious of the noise and kept
backing until he had pushed her
car over at an angle when he was
attracted by the shouts of passers-
by. Fortunately, no one was hurt,
but if the truck had backed a few
inches farther the car would have
been turned over and undoubtedly
there would have been some injur-
les. Both doors of the car were
badly damaged. The policeman on
duty at the corner and people in
the street were all agreed that Mrs.
Falk was entirely blameless and
even the truck driver admitted that
the fault had been his. Fortunate
ly. the beer firm is insured and DR..
and Mrs. Falk will be reimbursed
for the damage to their car.

High Taxes Keep
Men Out of Jobs
Construction Work Postponed Be-
cause Taxes Eat Up All
the Income

When we set out to equalize the
tax burden we: ought to be sure
that new revenue from any propos-
ed new tax sources must be used
definitely to reduce the burden on
real estate, J. p. Mcdonnell, presi-
dent Of the Minnesota Taxpayers
association, stated in a talk.
Land" he said, "is paying an ex-
orbitant rate. Taxes are taking all
the profits of the farm, and a big
part of the income of the property
owner. The home-owner is discour-
aged, people will not build homes
when it is cheaper to rent than to
build"
"This condition is disastrous to
skilled labor and to common labor,
because large percentage of men
never can get work until the build
ing industry get going. This indus
try. one of the greatest forces to
bring back prosperity, cannot get
going so long as. high taxes make
such a program Improbable and
virtually impossible Mcdonnell
stated.
mo one thing is going to solve
this taxation muddle. It will re-
quire series of changes. It is a
problem of getting the facts
through proper accounting meth
cd. a problem Of reducing levies;
a question of controlling the spend
ers. of establishing tax safeguards;
of relieving general property; and a
question of applying to receipts
from new tax sources to relieve the
many sources that already are pay
ing an unequal and unfair proper
ton Of a tax burden that. in the
first place, is too high" Mcdonnell
stated.
