New York City (ILNS).-Soviet
Russia has lost its long fight for
linking the United States with the
World Federation of Trade Unions
in promoting respect for rights of
organized labor. After more than
6 hours of debate, the UN Econom-
ic and Social Council assigned the
task to the International Labor Or
ganization, which Russia left in
1910.
The council, meeting at Lake
Success, N. Y, acted after having
heard report on trade union
rights from the International La
Dor Organization. The council voted
to send the report to the UN Gen.
eral Assembly, with the request
that Trygve Lie, Secretary general,
have the Human Rights Commits
sion, which is now writing the In
ternational Bill of Rrights, cooper
ate with the LILO in drafting con-
ventions to safeguard the rights
of workers.
Sees Action Difficult
In reporting to the council that
the lilo was preparing draft con-
ventions safeguarding the workers
right to organize and their free
dom of association, David A.
Morse, United States Assistant
Secretary of Labor, and a govern
mental member of the information
al organization, said that these
rights raised questions of national
sovereignty. Hence, the conventions
are difficult to prepare for inter-
national acceptance, he said.
The LILO started its work for the
United Nations on trade union

Farmers Now Paying Off
Loans At Slower Rate

Washington, d. C.-Farmers are
paying off their Government loans
with which they financed farm pur-
chases more slowly than a year
ago, the report of the Farm Credit
Administration showed.
Repayments averaged $1.62 for
each dollar loaned during the year.
In 1916 repayments averaged $1.S1
for each dollar loaned, and $3.1l in
1915.
During the year 32,193 loans
were made for total of 50,O56,-
051. The higher prices of land were
reflected in the fact that lonas
averaged lib percent larger than
in 1916.

Washington (LPA)- Chairman
A. Philip Randolph of the Natl
Council for IA Permanent FEPC has
demanded that Attorney General
Tom C. Clark prosecute anyone at
tempting to enforce the Mississippi
law which proposed as a condition
of registration in the Democratic
primary that citizens, except those
who have voted in the last three
primaries, swear under oath that
they are opposed to bills for a
permanent FEPC, and to penalize
lynching. For the second election
in succession, despite the state
law enacted this year, Negroes ap-
peared in sizeable numbers to vote
in the Democratic primaries last
week, thus defeating the purpose
of the law.

Farmers Find 80 Skeletons
In Cavern in Virginia
BY the Associated Pros.

TAzEWELL. Va, Oct. ia
buried cave, discovered accidentally
by a farm hand, yesterday gave up
Its secret; 30 skeletons.
Unearthed on a farm some three
miles from here, the cave was ex-
plored briefly by two farmers who
reported they found an enormous"
subterranean cavern filled with
stalagmite formations. Lying on
the floor, they said, were the skele-
tons, some apparently placed in
order and others looking as though
they had been thrown in hur-
rledly." Near the bodies were a
number of beads.
Jeff Hlggenbottom on whose farm
the cave was found, said he had
asked an archaeologist from Vir-
glnia Tech to explore the cave and
examine the skeletons.
The entrance to the cave is a
small hole, large enough to admit
only one man. Thirty feet down,
however. the perature widens out
into a series of elaborate under
ground passages.
Mr.. Higgenbottom's farm is near
Fort Witten, former Indian strong
hold, and one theory is that the
skeletons are those of members of
an Indian tribe.
