The witnesses called included Brig. Gen. Fox Connor, assistant chief of staff in charge of training, and Maj Gen, Robert C, Davis, adjutant gen- eral. The board also recalled Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the army air service. The recall of Patrick was believed due to the sensational testimony of Martin B. Madden, republican con- gressman of Illinois, chairman of the house appropriations committee, who charged the two air services with squandering millions of dollars in an orgy of aerial experiments. The board also desired to question Patrick con- cerning the effects of antl!-aircraft fire on moving planes. Can Stop Aircraft Testimony given by Maj. Gen, F. W. Coe, chief of the coast artillery, was to the effect that four three-inch batteries of anti-aircraft guns could defend any objective against an enemy bombing squadron. In tests, Coe testified, the anti-aircraft batter- ies made 4.67 percent of direct hits, sufficient to break up any bombing attack.

It is under- stood that M. Vandervelde, the social- ist minister of the king of the Bel- gians, will also sign for his govern- ment. Eastern Problem Up. The second reason for optimism is that discussions between the German delegates and the representatives of the Czecho-Slovakian and Polish gov- ernments have begun an effort to reach a compromise on the question of the eastern boundaries of Germany. The Germans insist upon thé dissolu- tion of the Franco-Polish military al- liances, declaring that if Germany neters the league and signs a security pact+ such an alliance will be in- congruous, May Last Week Longer. These" new efforts at compromise will have the effect of prolonging the conference at least another week. It is not thought here that the out- come can posibly be favorable for the powers assembled because of the con- flicting interests that are insurmount- able. their side of the pase. The permit was granted Monday on the railrod’s pleasthat it was in great need of money. Jurisdiction sDispute Justification for the reviewing of the interstate body’s findings is mani- fested in the belief that the interstate commerce commission ican decide only in cases where commerce between two states is invélvéd, and that the state commission has sole power over commerce conducted solely within its respective state.

BUDENZ, Federated Press. FAIRMONT, W. Va., Oct. 13.—In order to divert attention in West Vir- ginia from their violation of the con- tract with the United Mine Workers, the coal operators are resorting to the time-honored camouflage of “Americanism.” Foreigners are being denounced by the Fairmont Times, the operator paper, and thru the other channels of gossip and social press- ure used in these outlying communi- ties. Stins Up Prejudice. The Times says for instance, “The many Americans who are working un- der the American plan are very bit- ter with the union because of the many foreigners in it and because of the predominance of foreigners among the strikers and picketers.” “No one can claim that I am not an American,” said Mayor Harry Ben- nett, the fighting labor executive of Monongah, who faces jail thru his de- fiance of Judge W. S. Meredith’s in- “What's more, the union is fighting for an American standard and for the sanctity of contract. If the workers had broken their agreement instead of the operators they would have been cruelfied in the public press long before this.” Militant Youth to Participate in Fall Festival in Milwaukee peiiatbede MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 13.—Local Milwaukee of the Workers Party is giving a Fall Festival and Ball on the 25th October in Miller Hall, 802 State street.

Firemen Quit Later the workers held a meeting behind closed doors, where the street car workers, bakers, butchers, chauf- feurs and coach drivers decided to stop work in protest against the high rents. Panama’s volunteer firemen, refusing to fight against the workers, turned in their uniforms at the cen- tral station and quit work, while the workers cheered. President Calls for Aid President Rodalfo Chiari, vassal of American capital, appealed to General Lassiter to rush troops to Panama City. In a short time Martin, in com- mand of three batallions of the 33rd infantry stationed at Fort Clayton, five miles from the city arrived and proceeded immediately to the most frightful excesses. All business is closed and the an- nouncement is made that the troops will leave the city within a few days, after firmly establishing “order.” The workers, though crushed, are still re- bellious and unquestionably the stores closed by the military will remain closed by the workers thru a city-wide strike, even after the troops have left, until their greivances are adjusted.
