Doheny had purch- ased thousands of rifles in order to carry out the program and when he found out that the Mexicans had re- vealed the plans, he hurriedly made a present of several hundred rifles to the Occidental College of Pasadena . and told the U. S. government officials that he intended the balance as a gift to the California National Guard. “As these'rifles were of the make of 1907, you can imagine just how true his story is. Anyone knows that‘army equipment must be up-to-date. Later on, Doheny placed the guns on board @ vessel bound for a Lower California port but Villa and Zogg engaged the boat in combat and sunk it with all on board. Then Doheny started out to get Zogg with the result that he was instrumental in having him ar- rested under the Spinach Act and due to the employment of a pimp and a prostitute regularly employed by the officials for that purpose, he was con- victed and has now languished in pris- on for 6 years where he has contract- ed tuberculosis.

STEEL BARONS STEAL MILLION; KILL WORKERS The Dally Worker: BENWOOD, W. Vaw” May to— A triple funeral was held here Friday for miners burned in the explosion Monday morning. A great procession of friends of the dead workers came from all over the country to attend the last rites. It was a pitiful and sorrowful gathering, many of the par- ticipants still awaiting the finding of the bodies of their own relatives lost in the mine disaster. Meanwhile President I. M. Scott re- mains unapprehended in his palatial million-dollar home in the Woodsdale section of Wheeling. Million Profit in 3 Months. The Wheeling. Steel Corporation has just declared its quarterly divi- dend and announced a net profit of $941,901.59 for the first three months of this year. Nearly a million dollars net profit, after all possible deduc- tions are made! And the net surplus of the company on March 31, 1924, was $7,836,249.61!

The revolutionary forces feel that Secretary Hughes is about to apply the same crushing rule to the Ven- ezuelans as to the Cubans—that the power of the United States will be thrown behind an oppressive govern- ment, Juan Vicente Gomez was vice-prest- dent under Castro, and sixteen years ago became president. His brother was made vice-president. Some three years ago this brother was found mur- dered, and it was believed that the dictator’s son, in order to get the vice- presidency at the hands of his own father, had causen his uncle to be assassinated. In any event the dic- tator’s son is now vice-president. The Venezuelan minister to the United States, Senor Domenicci, resigned when the son ascended the vice-presi- dential “throne,” saying that he could not identify himself with ‘dynastic Politics. Recently the Mexican government has had trouble with Gomez, and two American citizens, residents of Porto Rico, have been expelled from Ven- ezuela on the alleged accusation of Gomez’ secret police that they were fomenting revolt. As a matter of fact they were trying to go into the drug business in Gomez’ doman, and that line of business is monopolized by, the dictator and his favorites, Trade union organization is forbid- den in Venezuela, under the most sert- ous penalties. The Pan-American Federation of Labor is expected to issue a statement before Secretary Hughes commits the United States to support Gomez against the revolu- tionaries, Bryan Wants Cuba To Hold Pine Isle For Sugar Trust WASHINGTON, May 7. — When more distinguished foreign delegates, have wholly or in part wthdrawn their sanction.

This call has heen issued by the Committee of Arrangements in the name of the following organizations, Washington Farmer -Labor Party, South Dakota Farmer-Labor Party, Montana Farmer-Labor Party, Minne- sota Farmer-Labor Party, Federated Farmer-Labor Party, Nebraska Farm- er-Labor Party, and the Buffalo Farm- er-Labor Party. Invitations to parti- cipate are based on endorsement of the following tentative program. A. Public Ownership. B. Government Banking. €. Public Control of All Natural Resources. D. Restoration of Civil Liberties Guaranteed by the Constitution. E. Abolition of the use of Injunc- tions in Labor Disputes. The forces of farmers and industrial workers of the State of Ohio must be united to be represented effectively at the June 17th convention, ‘This is the only hope for success in the Novem- ber elections, In this State in many parts of which of Centrosoyus deposits.

Centrosoyus claimed title to its Na- tional City bank deposits early in 1919. The bank, while not claiming the money for itself, questioned whether the present Controsoyus in view of the intervening revolution was legally the same organization which deposited the funds. The question of ownership and authority turned on the continuity of the legal existence of Centrosoyus as an independent corporation from the time of its incorporation under the czar in 1898 to the present time, A committee consisting of Charles A. Marshall, Centrosoyus attorney, Major James A. Willis in behalf of the U. S, war department and department of justice, and Col. V. R. Ruehl for the N. Y. supreme court, was sent to.Rus- sia and other coutries to gather data. The documents recently brought back by the committee convinced the court of the identity and legal continuity of the organization. | Besides the payment to the govern- ment the court required the bank to Pay Centrosoyus $1,946,774.50, and al- lowed the bank to retain $250,374.94 for an advance made by it to Cen- trosoyus. WOMEN CONDEMN VIOLENCE AMID WAR RUMBLINGS (By The Federated Press) WASHINGTON, May 7.—“We con- demn all violence in civil and class wars,” says the manifesto adopted by the fourth congress of the Women’s In- which Fall is said to have given him a note. Northwest Loggers Face Staryation As Camps Close Down EVERETT, Wash., May 7.—All log- ging camps in this section have closed for an indefinite period due to an over- supply of logs. Mills here have been running only four days a week for | over a month. Propaganda by fhsur- ance companies and makers of other Troofings has hit the shingle industry and there is a falling off in both Jap- anese and domestic demand. Forest fires are starting unusually early this year and have closed several camps in the Centralia and Portland regions. Camps remained idle most of the winter. Loggers have usually made a stake during the summer and while discontented have pulled thru the winter. This spfing the slave mar- kets of Portland, Seattle and other northwestern ciffes are crowded with angry idle men and jobs grow scarcer and scarcer. Thousands of acres of farmland in Eastern Washington have not been planted this year and the wheat harvest will find an oversupply instead of the usual shortage of la- bor. Unable to acthmulate a stake during the summer, thousands will face starvation this winter. There is little organization among these men, but the revolutionary spirit of the I. W. W. is by no means dead among them. Co eee DETROIT Workmen’s Co-operative Full Line of Meats, Groceries, Fruits and Vegetables promising for a successful convention at Schenectady on May 18th. There are, however, many sympa- thetic organizations which have not as yet acted on this call and they are urged to immediately elect delegates at their next meeting in order that their organization will be represented at Schenectady on May 18th. The expenses for a delegate are ex- ceedingly small and every organiza- tion ought to be there. As soon as you have elected your delegate, send your delegate’s name to the state secretary, Mr. Frank Her- zog, 63 Leroy Ave., Buffalo, N. Y. It is of the utmost importance that all organizations in addition to electing their delegates, also make a donation to carry on the work and help defray the expenses of the convention. All contributions should be sent to Mr. W. J. Kelly, local secretary at 81 Hast 10th Street, N. Y.
