SOCIETY GIRL
 BECOMES NUN
Elizabeth Makins, zS, Now
 in Mother House in Holland

London, (UP)-An English so- ciety girl who added to the thrills of modern life by driving racing automobiles has decided to be- come nun.
 Elizabeth Maiins, 2S-year old daughter of a knight, will be- come a Lady of the Holy Grail. She is now in the mother house of the order in Holland, where she will undergo a three-year novitiate.
 This order, which specializes in converting the modern girl was founded only six years ago by 100 Dutch nuns. When their training is finished, the new nuns are sent out into the world as mission aries. Already the movement has captured the religious devotion of hundreds of girls in Europe and America.
 Miss Makins has been inter ested in the order since she be- came converted to Catholicism six years ago. When she played a part in the lily Grail orders presentation of "Everyman," the

No wonder, therefore, that Melvin

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 25.-
Final arrangements have been
made, it was announced today by
w. c. Sandberg, chairman Of the
Ohio Communist state election COM
mittee, for the state ratification
conference to be held in Xoungs-
town on Sunday morning.
All organizations are TO be re-
sponsible for paying the transpor-
tation Of their own delegates.
Automobiles and trucks are being
modified here for a caravan which
will carry all Cleveland delegates
to the conference.
While the nominating petition
signature drive here and in other
parts of the state has shown inn
provements during the current
week, there is still grave danger
that the required total of $4,000
signatures by Aug. l will not be
achieved unless still greater en-
ergy is thrown into the work,
Ssndberg said today.
Announcement was also made
today Of the slate for Summit
County by the Communist local
campaign committee in Akron. The
slate is:
Fred M. Yale for clerk, William
Fisher for commissioner, David
Couts for auditor, Nina B. Wilcox
for records, Sam r. Bachtel for
treasurer, Joseph Tesitel for sher-
if, William j. Doran and F. M.
Lovelace for State Senator, and E.
G. Quist, Hassie Fisher, s. Adam
son and j. L. Ferguson for state
representatives.

old age pensions, for the right to
organize and strike, for repeal Of
the criminal syndicalist> law. for the
farmers relief bill, for the Negro
rights bill, for increase in wages and
shortening Of the working week,
against imperlalist war, for defense
of the Soviet Union.
1t is around these issues that the
election campaign is carried on by
the Communist Party.
We are entering the election cam
paign with election victories al
ready gained. In Taylor Springs,
H., the Communist Party elected
out of members on the Village
Board. In Benld, Illinois, Commu-
nists have been elected as alder
men. The Village Board of Taylor
Springs, under the leadership of
the Communists. led struggles not
emily for the unemployed workers in
Taylor Springs. but all over Mont
gomery County.
Two members of the Village Board
have been arrested with 9 others
and thrown into Jail and held on
$4,000 cash bond because of their
participation and activity in behalf
of the workers.
Compare the record of the men,
bers of the Village Board of Taylor
Springs and the Communist alder
man of Bend with the record OF
the labor" alderman in Chicago
Oscar Nelson. Compare it with
Socialist Mayor Hoan of Mil
waukee, who used police to shoot
down striking workers.

THE real wages of the workers
throughout the country, under
the Roosevelt administration, have
declined. We will take fcE ex-
ample the economic position of the
Chicago working class. In the
Chicago slaughtering and meat
packing houses, employment, based
on 1925-27 average, stood in March,
1888, at 1874 and in March, 1884 at
1865 which shows an increase in
employment by 281 Wages in
March, 1888 stood at CO., and in
March, 1884 at 92.1 showing very
concretely a discrepancy between
temporary seasonal pickup in the
packing industries and wages paid
to the workers.
In iron and steel we see the fol-
lowing: In March, 1888, employ
ment stood at $50 and in March,
1884 at 1879 And wages, in March,
1888 at 224 and in March, 1884 at
52.3.
The total index of employment in
all factories and industries in the
city of Chicago in March, 1888,
stood at 49, in March 1884, 642.
And wages in March, 1888 at 25.7
and March, 1884 at IA
In addition to this it must be
clearly understood that the value of
the dollar has declined and the
murderous speed-up has been in
tensified in every factory in the city.
To what extent the increase of
prices of commodities affects the re-
tail trade has been declared by one
of the large Chicago merchants:

cago, voted against the bonus
for ex-servicemen and for all
measures of the Roosevelt New
Deal. He very frankly admits that
politics is a racket.
De Priest Tool of insult
For instance, the Negro Republi-
can Congressman, Oscar De Priest
of the 1st Congressional District Of
Chicago, according to the Chicago
Tribune report from Washington,
received in the year 1926 from the
insult fund between ten and fifteen
thousand dollars for lining up the
black vote" Together with this
Negro misleader, others that are
involved in the same graft are State
Senator Richard j. Barr and
Superior Court Justice Harry
Miller of Chicago.
The politics Of the capitalist class
parties in Chicago cannot be dis
associated from gangsterism. They
are part and parcel of the whole
Democratic and Republican Party
machinery. The Chicago Daily
News" in an editorial on Monday,
June 4, 1884, writes:
"Ai Capone gangsters aspire
to five seats in the House and
two seats in the Senate"

These are the records. These
records must be made known to the
working masses. The full meaning
of them must be explained. This
shows clearly the direct connection
which runs from Wall Street down
to Al Capone. 1t is also interest

PHILADELPHIA, July 25-The
strike Of almost 1000 Gulf Oil
workers at the Girsrd Point refinery

decisions of the National Labor
Board and hypocritical seedlings by

several months while the strike is
broken.

spreading the strike to the neigh
boring Atlantic Refining plant, an

Workers Must Break With Old Parties

The Communist Party calls upon the workers to
break decisively with these parties of hunger fas-
cism and war 1t calls upon the masses to defeat
the Republican, Democratic, Farmer-Labor and So
cialist candidates in the congressional elections.
Elect Communist candidates Send fighters for
your demands for your class interests to Congress
The Communist Party calls upon the millions of
workers and farmers Negro and white not only to
elect Communist congressman and all other Com
munist candidates, but to boldly and determnedly
take up and broaden the mass fight for the i'm
mediate demands set forth in this platform. This
alone can win immediate and substantial victories
for the toilers.
More than that, the mass fight for these de-
mands is the starting point in the workers struggle
for political power for workers government for
Soviet government in the United States which
alone will bring the present capitalist crisis to an
end in manner beneficial to the masses

golf course here with rope around

identified today as authorities began
an investigation of a case which DO
lice admitted was as mystifying as it
was bizarre.
The body was identified as that of
Paul E. Ostin, SO, Detroit factory
worker. and the exhumation was or
dered by Ostin's widow, Estelle, after
Ostin's car was found Friday within
200 feet Of the spot where the body
was found. A battling angle, police
said, was the fact that the car was
not seen at the place where it was
found at the time the body was dis
covered.
In the vehicle was found every
article Of clothing worn by Ostin when
he vanished the morning of June 26,
in addition to pair of woman's pa
jamas. a blue dress, an opened pack
age Of cigarettes and 73 cents, which
Mrs. Ostin said her husband had with
him when she last saw him alive.
The body was dressed in a white
hat. a green coat, yellow slipover
dress, a brassiere, three pairs of un-
derclothing and two pairs of stock
ings. A rope was around the neck
and was fastened to a tree limb.

In granting the annulment to Miss

Miss Thompson and Bronner, a

POLAND CHANGES DOLLAR
Decree Ends Status as Second Ma
tiOnal Currency.

WARSAW, July (P).-A presiden-
tial decree abolishing the gold dollar
clause in foreign currency regula-
tions today removed the United States
dollar from its position as a sort Of
second national currency in Poland.
The exact effects of the decree on
PoliSh-American trade will not be-
come clear. however, until regulations
which will follow the decree are
known.
1t was certain, however, that loans
in dollars made since 1925-including
the Dillon-Raad loan of $35 900, 900
in 1925 and the Webster -Blodgett loan
Of the City of Warsaw in 1929-will
be affected.
The decree bars the gold dollar ex-
cept in insurance contracts, the inten-
ton being to force business to deal
in the national currency.
