Bee COSTLY VICTORY FOR ANTI-FARM RELIEF FORCES Farmers Have Chance to ' , Get Even at Polls By LAURENCE TODD, Federated Press. WASHINGTON, June 28.—In the de- cisive roll call that defeated the Mc- Nary-Haugen farm relief bill in the senate the Coolidge administration. mobilized not merely the standpat senators who do not come up for elec- tion this year, but also the ones who do stand in danger of adverse verdict at the polls. Political managers for both the old parties looked upon this triumph of 45 votes against 39 as one of the most costly a republican re- gime ever secured. On that roll call the loss of the senate to the demo- erats appears definitely to be assured. Senators voting to kill the bill were: Bayard, Bingham, Borth, Blease, Brous- sard, Bruce, Butler, Couzens, Dale, Edge, Edwards, Ernst, Fernald, Fess, George, Gerry, Gillett, Glass, Goff, Hale, Harris, Harrison, Keyes, King, Lenroot, Metcalf, Moses, Pepper, Phipps, Ransdelll, Reed of Missouri, Reed of Pennsylvania, Robinson of Askansas, Sackett, Sheppard, Short- ridge, Stephens, Swanson, Trammell, Underwood, Wadsworth, Walsh, Wel- Jer and Willis. Doomed Senators. Pepper is already disposed of, but Butler, Dale, Ernst, Lenroot, Short- ridge, Moses, Wadsworth, Weller and Willias have battles on, their hands. Their votes against the only measure of farm relief which had any chance of enactment will be used against them by the organized and distressed farmers. ‘The fact that @ group of constitu- tional lawyers opposed the measure on the ground that agriculture should not be granted a special privilege similar to the high protective tariff granted to manufacturing industries, does not explain the votes of these regular administration senators. Bo- rah, Walsh, Reed of Missouri and va- rious other lawyers were unwilling to invoke what they thought was a vicious method of relief; the admin- istration bloc were unwilling to at- tempt to equalize economic condi- tions between farmers and manufac- turers. The unfavorable political effect of , this roll call is likely to be registered most definitely against Ernst in Ken- tucky, Lenroot in Wisconsin, Weller in Maryland and Willis in Ohio. But it will also be felt by Butler in Massa- chusetts and Wadsworth in New York. Some Straddied. It is to ‘he noticed that Cuntis of Kansas, floor leader, voted for the MeNary Dill, as did Jones of Wash- ington, Means of Colorado, Harreld of Oklahoma, Cameron of Arizona and Watson and Robinson of Indiana, who are running this year. They come from farming states and defied the White House in order to save them- selves from the wrath of the voters. Even had the bill been adopted by the senate, it passage was blocked by a hostile majority of 25 votes in the house, and by the certainty of a veto from Coolidge. Administration sena- tors became alarmed late in the fight at the possibility that the house might reverse itself if the senate should Pass the bill. Hence every pressure was exerted at the end of the debate to make the senate responsible for killing farm relief. Negro Students to Study Conditions in the Soviet Union NEW YORK, June 28.—Thomas L.

If it was not, then the government's Protest against Russian money is cheap political blustering. “In the exchange of notes on the subject the Russian goverriment established a clear legal case for its policy. The 1921 trade agree- ment has not been violated. The British government was forced to climb down from its original pos!: tion in a rather humiliating man- ner.” SAMOYED TRIBES HOLD CONGRESS IN SOVIET UNION 100 Delegates Attend Meet in Telvisk MOSCOW, U.

Is it possible for the secretary of agriculture to scientifically or other- wise forecast the future markets of grain on the exchanges? 3. What information has the secre- tary of agriculture which will enable him to determine and forecast the prices of grain? Asks Information Source. 4. Whether this information, which he imparts secretly, came to him by reason of his official connection as sec- retary of agriculture with the grain exchanges. _5. Whether this information thus imparted is detrimental to the public good, 6. What compensation he received for such services. How To Beat The Game. “Here is the secretary of agricul- ture lending his name and agreeing to be one of the faculty members of a school which is to teach its pupils to beat the market, the rules of which are made by the secretary of agricul- ture,” said Senator Caraway. “They want to show their pupils how they can succeed as gamblers. To inspire the confidence of their pupils they say that their school has the en- dorsement of the secretary of agricul- ture, ‘who himself has been one of our instructors.’” Spanish Dictatorship Jails Constitutional Plotters Against It PARIS, June 28. — About 200 men are imprisoned by order of Primo de Rivera, the Spanish dictator, for an at- tempt to stage a coup d’etat by repub- lican forces, chiefly, to overthrow the dictatorship and re-establish the con- stitutional rights “suspended” now for three years by De Rivera, according to reports coming thru the strict Span- ish censorship. ‘The attempt had not yet broken into action when the plot was discovered and the leaders jailed or placed under surveillance, Among those jailed are the former republican deputies Mer- celino, Domingo, Barriovero and other political leaders of the so-called liber- al school.

Cleveland Jobless Have Hard Lot at Employment Office three hours at the city employment office and counted 643 able-bodied men going into the basement looking for any kind of labor at any price. There was just one job to be given out and nearly 650 men to take it. The prize was corralled by one who appeared as strong as an ox. I tried to strike a conversation with him and was for a time unsuccessful. He was to get four days hard labor at 40 cents an hour. He told me he had been to the employment office every day for 22 days. There are two city officers on duty during employment hours to keep or- der and pick the workers.

The letter of invitation declares that the Moscow organization of the Young Communist League considers it neces- sary to establish a close connection with various towns and provinces in the Soviet Union and the working youth of various districts in other countries for the purpose of a mutual study of their living conditions and that this invitation represents the first step in this direction. A social democratic member of. the International Transport Workers’ Fed- eration, Nose of Tcheckoslovakia, is at present staying in Moscow for the purpose of studying the activity of the Transport Workers’ Union of the Soviet Union.

Trude in his contest declared that Crowe used the force at his command in tthe state’s attorney's office and Chicago and Cicero gunmen to terror- ize and stuff ballot boxes at the April 13 primary. The Crowe gang has attempted in various ways to forestall the expos- ure of their methods. They* sought to do so by having a secret grand jury quiz started with Special State’s Attorney McDonald, vice-president of the Foreman Trust and Savings Bank and sympathetic to Crowe, at its head. In order to kill Trude’s fight in the courts for a recount, the Crowe- Bar- rett-Thompson machine appealed to the exceutive committee of the su- perior court to take the case -away from Judge William McKinley, who is fighting the Crowe’ faction, and give it to someone that favored the Crowe faction. The case was finally transferred to Judge Jesse Holcomb. Holcomb in throwing out the appeal for a recount declared that his court had no juris- diction over election recount and fraud cases.
