demnation--that the Post Once De-
partment permitted this concern to
carry some mail, and that there are
officials of the Post ONCE Department
now who have been trying to arrange
1t so that the Government will have
to pay Mr.. Brush. call this especial
ly to the attention of Postmaster
General Farley, and hope that such
officials, If my information Is correct,
will be promptly discharged.
Subsidies Vicious.
My friends, from the foregoing you
will see that these favored steamship
lines got subsidies in three ways. In
the first place, they bought ships from
the Government costing millions OF
dollars at nominal prices, and then
they borrowed the money to remodel
or recondition these ships, and occa-
sionally built new ones, and then they
got enough money out Of these mail
contracts to make them rich. One
witness on the stand, whose concern
was getting millions from the Govern
ment. said that they carried merely q
handful Of mail.
The theory upon which these sub
sides were granted was to build up q
merchant marine in America. Instead
Of building it up, it has constantly
gone down under this rotten system.
Indeed, the officials Of the Govern
ment in trading these subsidies made
little distinction In giving subsidies as
between foreign and domestic inter-
eSts.
Since these ocean mail contracts
are again in the front, I hope the
President will take the same course
he has in reference to the airmail
contracts and cancel all of them,
with possibly one exception.
Building Merchant Marine.
They talk about these subsidies be-
ing used for the purpose of building
up an American merchant marine. 1t
Is Just so much poppycock.
The entire contract pay for the
whole Of the terms of ocean mail con-
tracts Is 1912, 2,684, 1894.
(a) The actual contract costs from
the beginning Of the contracts under
the merchant marine act of 1923 to
January 81, 1884, was $107,257 ,487.18.
(b) If the mails had been carried at
United States registry pound rates the
cost would have been $l4, ,445, ,440.36.

Why 1t Acts Quickly
Let the discoverer, M. G. Platt, MD,

tell you why. "A cold should be fought
in 8 different ways. Rinex actually does.
l. It quickly clears the head, making
breathing easy. 2. 1t tends to prevent or
allay spasms of the bronchial tubes. 8. 1t
reduces attendant fever. 4. 1t promptly
and safely relieves headache and associ-
ated pains and discomforts. S. 1t safely
soothes the nerves, without the use Of
narcotics. 6. Itstimulates gently, relieving
that dull-minded, depressed feeling. 7. 1t
reduces acidity, whichis frequently con-
tributing cause. 8. 1t provides the means
for adding to the calcium content of the
blood, often deficient in cold conditions.
A cold is in the system, and that is why,

run its course. Avoid halfway measures.

something! Fight them all at once with

The New Film

Enemies of Progress" tells the
story of the vain pompous Cossack
Chieftain, the Atalnan, Boris An
nenkof, who fought with the Allied
Interventionists in the Semirechie
region Of Siberia during the Civil
War, in hopes Of some day over
powering the Red Armies and march
ing into Moscow at the head of a
royal procession and occupying the
throne forcibly vacated by Gar
Nicholas.
Supported in his aims by Allied
money and ammunition and by the
Kulaks who aWesonely regarded
Annenkof as the heaVen-sent savior
come to free them from the yoke Of
Bolshevism-the Atalnan when he
found he could not peacefully induce
the peasants to support him in his
counter-revolutionary actions, mT-
dered, terrorized, raped and pillaged
the land until he and his supporters
were finally driven off Soviet soil by
the fast moving Red Armies.
This is the sum and substance Of the
film. But there are incidental episodes
in the picture Of great charm and
fascination, particularly the scenes
Of the amazing sword dance and the
whirling dervishes which provide en-
tertainment for the Allied Generals
and kulaks during the lulls of bat
tie. The peasant scenes are delight
full. The first Soviet rooster makes
his bow with grand crow, and a
dog does some pertinent barking

barked at Shorty. Without waiting
for a reply. he turned around and
walked off, followed by the foreman.
Shorty was mopentarily stunned
Clearly this meant he was going to be
fired if he did not finish the job in
the stipulated time He looked ner-
vously at the revolving flywheel, still
running at dizzy speed. He seemed to
De debating whether or not to climb
into the press right away Evidently
coming to a decision, he pressed lips
together tightly, put the safety block
in place, and crept into the yawning
gap.
Under his tense body Shorty could
feel the slight vibration of the huge
machine. The bulky steel punch
above him seemed to increase in size
as he stared at it. He imagined that
the enormous mass Of iron and steel
moved slowly down upon him. A
shiver ran along his spine at the
thought Of what would be his fate if
the press should suddenly go into
motion. Cold sweat Of fear broke out
on his forehead. He shook his head
violently to drive away this horrible
vision, and then it happened.
The vibration of the press caused
by the revolving dywheel had slowly
shaken the lever forward When it
passed the halfway mark, it fell
abruptly into the starting position
A blood curdling cry Of fear rang
out above the noise and din Of the
plant. Those working nearby, star
tied by this heartrending cry, and the
ensting crash Of the swapping safety
block, rushed exdtedly to the scene.
When the first workman approached
the press, Shorty's leg was Just falling
to the floor, severed by the closing
edges Of the die, while the rest of
his body was being nodded along the
surface Of the punch into the form
of an automobile back. Having spent
all Of its velocity in the stamping Of
Shorty's body, the flywheel came to
a complete standstill. The press had
reached the lower end of its Jour-
ney. The huge steel monster was ST.
lent and motAonless once more.
WHEN passing judgment upon this
w gruesome affair, we urge the
reader to take into consideration that

cOMETHING brushed against Shor-
y tvs foot, and he knew Jim Allen
was watching him again. He gritted
his teeth and gave few more furi-
Gus strokes with the file. After rest
ing few seconds to wipe the sweat
from his brow with the back of his
hand, he clambered out of the press
and jumped to the floor with sigh
Of relief. He always felt lighter OF
heart when leaving the narrow space
between a die in the press. The solid
mass OF steel suspended above his
walled-in body often made him shud-
der.
"How is she coming along?" quer-
ried the unlocking foreman.
'eWe'n see in jiffy," Shorty re-
piled sullenly.
With an air hose he blew the steel
dust out Of the die. Allen took a
steel sheet from the pile alongside
the press and placed it in the die,
against the points which served as
guides for the sheets. Shorty re-
moved the safety block and started
the motor, while the foreman took
hold of the lever by which the press
is swung into motion.
"All clear" he shouted after few
moments waiting, and pressed the
lever forward.
The upper part Of the press came
down with laundering noise upon the
shining surface Of the metal sheet.
The outside ring of the die gripped
the edges of the metal, while inside
the punch stamped it irresistibly into
the form of an automobile back. For
@ fraction Of a second the press
seemed to stand motionless at the end
Of its downward course, then 1t rose
noisily upwards again. Allen pulled
the lever back towards him, thereby
bringing the machine to a stop.
The panel was taken out Of the
press and the two men examined 1t
carefully. Yes, there was the crack
again, little less pronounced than
before, but still there. CurSing under
his breath, Shorty threw the panel
aside and pushed the button to stop
the motor
YOU'D better get the damned thing
fixed up pretty soon now, or thereIl
be hell to pay" remarked Allen.
There was a hint of a threat in his
voice. Shorty did not answer. With
supreme effort he controlled his
anger. Assuming an air of indiffer-
ence, he leaned against the pile Of
steel and waited for the flywheel to
come to a complete standstill before
resuming his wearisome task.
The foreman made an impatient
gesture at Shorty's apparent indiffer-

The World Telegram movie critic
dubbed Enemies of Progress" a re-
grettably bad film unworthy Of any
kind of recommendation. The
Times" men called it well-photo-
graphed as well as an exciting bit
Of modern Russian history. Other
opinions range pro and con, reveal
ing wide differences of opinion in the
ranks of the enemy press.
But the opinion of this reviewer,
which will be unanimously supported
by the hundreds Of workers who will
see this picture at the Acme Theatre,
is that Enemies Of Progress be-
cause it deals with a gravely impor-
tant event in the history and growth
Of the Soviet Union, and because this
event is recorded with such unques-
toned authenticity Of locale, people,
costumes, detail, ETC., should not fail
to be seen by everyone to whom the
Soviet Republic means more than
merely place where they happen to
turn out exciting and well-photo-
graphed movies.
Notwithstanding the many minor
faults which the picture undoubtedly
has, such as inexpert acting at times,
broken continuity of action, uncer-
tain direction, unnecessary repetition,
the picture nevertheless firmly sus-
tains itself without single moment
Of dizziness and becomes far more
