They realize that the party cannot carry on its work suc- cessfully if the irresponsible methods are followed that are displayed by many of the party units in reference to the instructions sent them. Out of a total of a thousand street and shop nuclei of the party, which have re- ceived the special assessment stamp, less than 200 have thus far made their settlement. That sort of Communist work is not a credit to the party, If the party cannot sufficiently collect the special assessment of 50c, and secure prompt settlement by the party units, how can it hope to carrrying on a big politi- cal campaign successfullly. if aon special United Labor Ticket assessment must be gompleted by the end of the month of July. By that time every party unit which has received stamps must make a settlement with the National Organization. The response which the party units make to these instructions will be a test of their capability of their functioning as part of a Communist Party. PITTSBURGH MACHINISTS CALLED UPON TO RALLY TO THE UNION By WILLIAM J. MURPHY, (Dist. Business Agent, Dist. No. 6, I. A, of M., Pittsburgh, Pa.) What are you machine shop workers doing to better your working con- ditions as well as better wages? Workers who are unorganized do not help in any way improve these conditions, but rather hinder every plan to improve by remaining away from membership in the machinist union.

S. Banning Their Parade PARIS, July 11.—The French Union of War Veterans are determined to go ahead with their demonstration next Sunday against the U. S. debt settle- ment, regardless of the prohibition of the government at the behest of the American ambassador, Myron T. Her- rick, who has let it be known that the American government will consider the demonstration an “insult.” The banks also asked the government to forbid the demonstration. A rift has opened in the previous friendly relations between the war veterans’ association and the Amer- ican patriotic organizations such as the Paris post of the American Legion. The French veterans asked the legion to participate, and found its invitation hotly rejected. The legion, the banks and the Amer- ican ambassador state that the French veterans’ association is in the hands of “radicals and even Communists” as one reason for opposition. The dem- onstration planned is a parade of the veterans from the tomb of the un- known soldier to the statue of George Washington in the Place d'lena. RIVALRIES OF IMPERIALISTS STIR PEKING Charges and Counter- Charges Fly About PEKING, July 11—The foreign dele- gates to the Chinese customs confer- ence are having nearly as hard a fight between themselves as are the Chinese armies contending at the gates of Peking for control of the city, The British have issued an official statement saying that they are willing to abide by all provisions of the Washington treaty, and intends to grant surtaxes there specified and is prepared to discuss any reasonable proposal offered by Chinese delegates. This is aimed to offset what is sup- posed to be “Japanese propaganda” to the effect that the British and Amer icans were wishing to wreck the con- ference and picturing Japan as China’s only friend in the conference. It is claimed that the Japanese have sent news broadcast that the confer- ence is breaking up and the delegates returning home. Japan, it is claimed by British and Americans, is willing to waive her extra-territorial rights if China will give her a preferential tariff aimed at excluding British and American trade. Japan seems to have become en- couraged since her satrap, Chang Tso- lin, has gained control, not only of Manchuria, but of the Peking dis- trict. WEALTHY REBELS WHO FAILED GET HEAVILY FINED Rivera Says He Wants to Be Gentle MADRID, July 11—The dictator of Spain, Primo de Rivera, has decided that the most fitting punishment for the plotters against his rule that re- cently were arrested on a charge of conspiracy to overthrow De Rivera, is to levy heavy fines. De Rivera says in public statement that he desires to exercise his dicta- torship in the “most gentle manner” but is “aware of his duties and re- sponsibilities.” Consequently, he says, he will stand firm. “Normal govern- ment” will be established sometime in the future. . The fines announced on the first Hist of those apprehended include a fine of 500,000 pesetas against Count Romanones, one of the richest men of the nation, 200,000 pesetas against General Aguileran, while General Weyler, Dr. Maranon and some oth- ers are fined 100,000 pesetas each. A peseta is about 15 cents in U. 8S. money. Hundreds of revolutionary workers are in jail under long sentences for organizing unions or as leaderg of those unions broken up by De Ri- vera. .

Arnold Ross, oil operator, formerly Jim Ross, teamster, drives with hie thirteen-year-old son, Bunny, to Beach City to sign a lease for a new oil field. Meeting his ‘Lease Hound,” Ben Skutt, in a hotel he goes to meet a group of small property owners whose land he wants for drilling. But other of concerns have been intriguing and the meeting breaks up in a row. Bunny meet Paul Watkins, son of a Holy Roller, who has run away from home. They become friends but Paul leaves for other parts before their acquaintance is very old. Dad begins to drill in Prospect Hill near Beach City. He needs the roads fixed and smooths the paim of a city official. in short order his first well, “Ross- Bankside No. 1,” is begun. Dad spends busy days in his little office and Bunny is always with him—ilearning about oil. Bertie, Bunny’s sister, comes home from finishing school on a vacation. She is very snobbish. Her Aunt Emma has been trying to make a lady of her. Bunny tells Bertie about Paul. Bertie, doesn’t like Bunny to know such “Horried Fellows.” in the meantime Dad is getting along with his well, With many careful and toilsome mechanical operations, Ross-Bankside No. 1 is ready to drill and by noon the next day has filled up the first tank. In a week Dad had ‘several more derricks under way. He was working hard with everything coming his way. Bunny asks his Dad to take a rest and go quail hunting over in the San Elido valley. Dad protests that it’s too far away and is told that that’s where Paul's family is and they're up against it and Bunny wants to help them. Finally Dad wae persuaded. They get their camping outfit ready and the next day are nearing the Watkins ranch in the San Elido Valley, e e & e Presently they came to the “slide,” which was a wooden run- way carrying water—with many leaks, so that bright green grass was spread in every direction, and made fogd for a big flock of sheep, which paid no attention to the car, nor to all the tooting— the silly fools, they just would get under your wheels! And then came a man riding horseback; a big brown handsome fellow, with a fancy-colored handkerchief about his neck, a wide-brim- med hat with a leather strap. He was bringing in a herd of cat- tle, and as he rode, his saddle and his stirrup-straps went “Squnch, squnch,” which was a sort of thrilling sound to a boy, especially there in the evening quiet. Dad stopped, and the man stopped and Dad said “Good evening,” and the man answered, “Evenin’.” He had a pleasant, open face, and told them the way; they couldn’t miss the arroyo, because it was the only one that had water, and they would see the buildings as soon as they had got a little way up. And as they went on Bunny said, “Gee, Dad, but I wish we could live here; I’d like to ride a horse like that.” He knew this would fetch Dad, because the man looked jist the way Dad thought a man ought to look, big and sturdy, colored brown and red like an Injun. Yes, it wouldn’t take much to per- suade Dad to buy the Watkins ranch for his son! Well, they went wabbling on down the sheep-trail, counting the arroyos, whose walls loomed high in the twilight, crowned with fantastic piles of rocks. The lights of the car were on, and swung this way and that, picking out the road; until at last there was an arroyo with water—you knew it by the bright green grass -—and they turned in, and followed a still more bumpy lane, and here ahead were some buildings, with one light shining in a win- dow. It was the ranch where Paul Watkins had been born and raised; and something in Bunny stirred with a quite inexplicable thrill—as if he were approaching the birth-place of Abraham Lincoln, or some person of that great sort! Suddenly Dad spoke. “Listen, son.” he said. “There might be oil here—there’s always one chance in a million, so don’t you say nothin’ about it. You can tell them you met Paul if you want to, but don’t say that he mentioned no oil, and don’t you mention none. Let me do all the talkin’ about business.” It was a “California house,” that is, it was made of boards a foot wide, running vertically, with little strips of “Batting” to cover the cracks. It had no porch, whether front or back, nothing but one flat stone for a step. The paint, if there had ever been any, was so badly faded that you saw no trace of it by the lights of the car. On the other side of the lane, and farther up the little Valley, loomed a group of sheds, with a big pen made of boards, patched here and there with poles cut from eucalyptus trees. From this place came the stirring and murmuring of-a great number of animals crowded together. The family stood in the yard, lined*up to stare at the unac- customed spectacle of an automobile entering their premises. There was a man, lean and stooped, and a boy, somewhat shorter, but already stooped, both of them clad in faded blue shirtswith- out collar, and denim trousers, very much patched, held up by suspenders. There were three girls, in a descending row, in non- descript calico dresses; and in the doorway a woman, a little wraith of a woman, sallow and worn. All six of them stood motionless and silent, while the car came into the yard,.and stopped, and the engine fell to a soft purring. “Good evening,” said Dad. é “Howdy, brother,” said the man. » “Is this the Watkins place!” Peer “Yes, brother.” It was a feeble, uncertain voice, but it thrit® Bunny to the depths, for he knew that this voice was accustom % to “babble” and “talk in tongues.” Suppose the family were to “Jet go,” and start their “jumping” and rolling” while Bunny was there! “We're huntin’,” Dad explained, ‘‘and we was told this-woul be a good place to camp. You got good water?” “None better. Make yourself to home, brother.” “Well, we'll go up the lane jist a bit, somewheres out of the way. You got a big tree that'll give us shade?” “Eli, you show ’em the oak-tree, and help ’em git fixed.” And again Bunny was thrilled; for this was Eli, that had been blessed of the Holy Spirit, and had the “shivers,” and had healed old Mrs. Bugner, that had complications, by the laying on of hands. Bunny remembered every detail about this family, the most extraordinary he had ever come upon outside of a story- © book. Eli moved up the lane, and the car followed; and Mr. Watkins followed the car, to see that Eli did his duty, no doubt; and the three girls straggled behind; and Mrs. Watkins continued to stand in the doorway, watching. There was a big live oak tree with a clear space underneath, and Dad placed the car so that the lights streamed upon the space—you never needed to worry about darkness, when you were camping with a car! They stopped, and Bunny slid over the top of his door, and went to work on the straps which held the big bundle to the running-board. He had it off in a jiffy, and unrolled it, and quite magical were the things which came out of it. There was a tent, made of such light waterproofed silk that a structure eight feet square rolled up to a bundle which might have been a suit of clothes. There were the tent poles, made in several joints which screwed together; and the stakes, and a little camp hatchet to drive them with. There were three warm camping-blankets, besides the water- proof cover, which also made a blanket. There were two pneu- matic pillows, and a pneumatic mattress, which you sat and puffed at until you were red in the face—it was great sport! Tinally there was a canvas bag containing a set of camp utensils, all made of aluminum, and fitting one into another, everything with detachable handles; and aluminum boxes with several com- partments for grub. When all these things were set in order, you could be as comfortable in the midst of a desert or on top of a mountain as in the best hotel room. ; chia <, Yon Leroi NY 4 ‘i
