Insurgent Republicans Help. Coolidge and Mellon have cause for alarm because the insurgent repub- licans will line up with the democrats in the fight against the aluminum trust and the department of justice, as Well as against the second democratic issue, the Forney-McCumber tariff. Under the subject of the tariff they will link such measures as farm re- let and try to prove that the tariff on imports has enabled the American manufacturers to charge high prices for farm necessities, while failing in any manner to aid the farmers in the oorn, wheat and tobacco growing belts. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7—National Woman's Party leaders who are op- posed to all laws which give special protection to women in industry, as compared with men in industry, are to have an interview Janj 17 with Pres- ident Coolidge. They will also hold a meeting in the Belasco theatre, op- posite the white house, when the na- tional conference called by the wo- men’s bureau of the department of 1a- bor is in session, seeking to protect women in industry by minimum wage laws and otherwise. KAROLYI CASE GETTING WARM FOR KELLOGG “Nervous Nellie” to Be Brought to Court WASHINGTON, D,C., Jan 7—(FP) —Countess Karolyi, Hungarian liberal, when Secretary Kellogg excluded from this country on the ground that-she is a dangerous red agitator, has secured trom Justice Hitz in the supreme court of the District of Columbia 4 rule dir- ected to Kellogg, to be answered in court Feb. 4, to show cause why he should not be compelled to grant her a passport visa. The department of justice, repres- enting Kellogg, will try to have the temporary ruling dismissed when the case comes up again. It will take the ground that was taken by President Coolidge in his annual message last month—that no alien not residing in this country has any rights under our government. If Kellogg does not like to permit the wife of the ex-president of Hun- gary to lecture in the United States, he can keep her out, under alleged Hope for Victory. The democrats hope, by raising these issues in the coming campaign, to carry sufficient .congressional dis- tricts ‘and regain their majority in the house and increase their representa- tion in the senate, as a prelude to car- tying the presidential election of 1928. The insurgent republicans hope to so discredit Coolidge in the con- gressional elections that a representa- tive of the industrialist bloc of the middle west will secure the republican party nomination in 1928, and they do not conceal the fact that they be leve Coolidge will fail of election if he runs again. The general farm depression and the slowing down of industry that is apparent and is expected to become intensified during the coming year will Pave the way for widespread political revolts in the estimation of many of LEWIS PROPOSES FIVE-YEAR TERM FOR U, M. W. OF A, Would Set Part of the Union Against Rest By ALEX REID. Sec’y. Miners’ Progressive Committee The proposal of John L, Lewis for a five-year contract for the anthra- cite, which contract will undoubtedly terminate at a different time in the year and in a different year from the bituminous miners, is another in sult to the miners of Anierica, and a betrayal of the hard coal miners Scranton convention demands The miners are bitterly opposed to long term agreement The tying of one part of the mining industry down to a long term agreement in opposi- tion to another part of the industry, is in effect the setting of one part of the miners against the other, and ir reality contains the principles of dua! unionism. It is the policy of the open shoppers, and the Lewis gang ar< Playing directly into the hands. of the Wall Street union wreckers. Costs Soar. Long term agreements react again: the miners’ interest’ as we h ree son to know. The cost of living generally on the increase, while sta tionary wages are in reality a decreas in value of our earnings. To tie our selves down for five years means that no matter how high the cost of living soars, no matter how unbearable the working conditions become, we will have to suffer them for what will appear a lifetime. Five years will give the operators ample time to get rid of all militant miners from the mines and Lewis time to get rid of them from the union, Long term agreements will cause the miners to scab on each other—as they are doing now. The soft coal miners against the hard coal miners legal authority in the anti-anarchist and,anti-Communist clauses of the im- migration law. In her petition to the District court, filed by New York and Washington lawyers, Countess Karolyi denies that Kellogg has any legal authority or discretion under any valid law or regulation to refuse her,a visa, She will fight the case thru to.a finish, HOUSE COMMITTEE VOTES FUNDS. FOR GENEVA MEETING Congress will Soon En- dorse It (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Participa- tion by the United States in the pre- liminary conference at Geneva next month to draft an agenda for a dis- armament conference under the league of nations was approved unan- imously today by the. house foreign affairs committee. ¥ The committee recommended ap- propriation of $50,000 to defray ex- penses of the American delegates, as was asked by Coolidge. The authori- zation carried no commitment for par- ticipation in the major conference. The committee decided to ask for early consideration of the appropria- tion in the house. While members of the committee ‘agreed on a favorable report it was with individual an- houncements that they would not commit themselves to go further than a discussion with other nations as to a general conference, the democrats and insurgent repub- licans. As usual, none of the conflicting groups have any remedy that will improve the condition of the work- ing class. No Third Party Move. To all appearances the third party movement launched by LaFollette im the last presidential campaign is dead as a door nail. Young LaFol- lette, who succeeded his late father in the senate, tho an insurgent, is safely in the oamp of the republican party, Wheeler of Montana is back with the regular democrats and howling for the world court, while the former LaFol- lette supporters in the republican camp are unanimously against this country entering the court. The “farm bloc” is watching the developing farmer-labor parties in the northwestern states and is some- what alarmed that the character of this new movement is more definitely of a class character and not tinged so much with the petty bourgeois psychology of the earlier parties bear- ing that name. Few politicians seem to have definite opinions on the rising demand for a labor party in the in- dustrial centers of the country and not even the insurgents can be made to comment upon the action of two great labor conventions going on record for the formation of a class party of labor, RED STARS By Wm.
