CE cman sees REITERATE ROE Rm UE RE -KELLOGG SENDS SECRET THREAT TO NICARAGUANS Ignores Treaty. to Aid Dictator Chamorro WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Secretary of State Kellogg refuses as yet to make public the instructions he sent to Corinto, Nicaragua, to the Amer- ican minister, who has tried to-me- diate between the Chamorro military dictatorship and the rebel liberal forces, who demand that Vice-Presi- dent Sacasa be returned to power in ‘accordance with the deelsfon at’ the last election in the republic. Reports from Corinto are that Kel- loge warned the liberals that they must not receive further shipments of | arms from Mexico. The liberals * broke up the parley, saying that with- out supplies of war materials they ‘could not restore constitutional gov- ernment, Ignore Treaty Obligations Kellogg and, President’ Coolidge are caught between their solemn treaty obligations to refuse recognition to the Chamorro regime—because it is based on a military seizure of power— and their anxiety lest the liberals shall co-operate with Mexico in ex- tending the moral leadership of radi- cal Mexico to the southward. If Chamorro carries out his scheme of appointing Adolfo Diaz, former dic- tators, to the presidential office, the Mberals and the Mexican adherents of their cause will fight on. Restore Constitution With Guns. Kellogg cannot fairly refuse recog- nition of Sacasa’s government if it is finally established, because it is the restoration of a constitutional author- ity which was recognized by the United States before Chamorro’s coup. Belgium “Stabilizes” Coin by Borrowing a Sum of $150,000,000 NEW YORK, Oct, 28.—The Belgian france disappeared from the list 2f foreign exchange quotations today, * and in its place appeared the new form of Belgian currency used exclus- ively in foreign trade—the belga. This is in accordance with the new stabil- ization plan, made possible theu the sale in the international markets of $100,000,000 of new thirty-year 7 per eent, Belgian government bonds,’ of which $50,000,000 is offered in Amer- lea today at 94. The Belgian franc, to be used here- after only ia Belgian demestic trade, has been stabilized at 174.3 to the British pound and 36-to the American dollar. This is ‘equivalent to’ 2.78 cents for the franc, or about ons seventh of its pre-war value. The new belga, quoted for the first time today at 13.88 cents for demand and 13.90 cents for cables, is equal in value to five paper francs, and with a definite gold equivalent of .209211 grams. Belgium’s money, which -has been subject to wide fluctuation since the German invasion of the country in 1914, now has the support of the leading banks in Europe and America, making ft for the first, time in twelve years a proper medium for the transaction of international! trade. ——1 es: GERMAN COMMUNISTS IN REIGHSTAG REOPEN CASE OF MONARCHIST PROPERTY BERLIN, Germany, Oct. 28.—The Communists, who stukbornly fought the Hohenzollern property settle- ment bill in the Prussian diet, have prasented a motion that the bill should be referred back to the diet for reconsideration. They take the ground that it had been debated on incomplete and faulty information. MUSSOLINI NOT TO’CHANGE THE ITALIAN SENATE}: 300 Fascists to Rule the Chamber of Deputies ROMH, Oct. 28.—Facing opposition by the big industrialists and royalists to the scheme proposed by his aid, Rossoni, to abolish the present Italian senate and create a new one by ap pointing selected members of fascist labor unions and employers’ organiza- tions, Mussolini has decided to leave the senate as it is for the present and carry out the idea principally in the lower house—the chamber of depu- ties. By this plan 300 members of: the chamber of deputies will be chosen from among fascist labor leaders and employers: corporations, The rest of the deputies, below 50 per cent, would, under the dictator’s scheme, be elect- ed on a ballot with two lists, the fas- cist party and the opposition, with the usual terrorism of any who dared run on or vote for the opposition, Rossoni, a renegade anafcho-syndi- ealist, is now secretary of corpora- tions, the office binding fascist labor unions to the employers. His plan was not approved by the industrial- ists and Mussolini because it was felt that inexperienced.men could not take over the senate. Mussolini aims to appoint selected ones to the senate after they have shown themselves strongly fascist in the chamber, Berlin Coal Famine Shows German Unions as Strike Breakers BERLIN, Oct. 28—Berlin is threat- ened with @ coal shortage due:to the British miners’ strike. Because of the large coal shipments to ‘England the great reserves dumped: in the Ruhr are entirely gone, ‘Shipments to Berlin do hot exceed the daily demand, and asthe mine owners are using heavy rail! ship ments to the harbors for exports to hold their new markets, thereis'a/car shortage for Berlin shipments.) To relieve the shortage,’ plans fare being made to buy from Poland large quantities of Upper Silesian. surplus. coal. i The coal famine exposes the falsity of the claims made by -the reformist Amsterdam International Federation of Trade Unions that little coal was going from Germany to England and that German unions were not, there- fore, helping to break the British. strike, International Review ‘Italy’s Play. for Syria and Syria’s Revolt tt furious pace at which Italian imperialism 4s, developing is again , indicated by the report, reliably given in the Journal de Genevois, a paper close to the league of nations’ affairs, that the approaching conversations of the French, foreign minister, Briand, with Mussolini will take up the ques- tion of transfering the mandate over Syria, given to France in 1920, to ‘ Italy. In return Italy is to renounce all claims to Moroceo and Tunis, the north African reserve of French im- pertalism, t Whether or not Italy secures the mandate over Syria, it is certain that the Italian-inspired demand of Spain for Tangiers has thrown France ‘into a Frenzy of fear at the prospect of a° loss of position in the Mediterranean veand a ‘strengthened rival in north ‘Africa. The tremendous reserve of man power for its army—which is now the largest in Europe, if not-in the world—that ig afforded by the 35,- » 000,000 inhabitants of French colonies ‘tin north Africa, who gave 750,000 col- » ered troops to/France in the world ‘war and who compose an ever greater proportion of its armed troops, is not a light matter for France. And, in ad- dition, there is the wealth of mineral resources, especially jn Morocco, to be considered.

COME FRIDAY NIGHT. READY FOR WORK. By F. 0. K. (Worker Correspondent.) IDMONTON, Alta., Can., Oct. 20—I read your paper and I enjoy the deal with human problems and I thought that you might be interested to know a bit of the rottenness that is vermeating Alberta's affairs, The pop- ulation here is something arouid 67,- 000 people and there is not near enough work for those that live here, and certainly less for the outsiders, other, Canadians, Americans and for- eigners, There is almost no manufacturing here and the town is @ept alive by the provincial farmers. There is a large foreign population here and in this province, and a great many more are coming, Most of these people are unable to read or write other than their own language, The Candiian Pacific railroad is of course getting a large sum for trans- porting these people and With them— the C, P. R.—I suppose the thought is: Why worry about Alberta's troubles concerning immigration, These unfor- {unate foreigners have been misled by glowing accounts of the wonderful op- portunities in Canada, which they find is the worst kind of “bunk” when they reach “Fair Alberta.” They are stand- ing around the streets here in destitu- tion. $B of them was recently offering his prayer beads to the public for the price of a meal, A large crowd of men have been lured to Alberta to work in the harvest at fabulous prices, and these, tog, have been be- trayed, There hag béen much bad weather, so that men could not work and during these delays the farmers— in many cases—have refused to feed their help. These men, then, have been obliged to go to the nearest town and pay $1.00 for a bed and 40 cents ber meal, When these harvest hands become absolutely impoverished they the driven out of town or thrown in jail. Only recently two of these har- vest. workers were passing thru Hd- monton and they loitered a bit. Be- ‘ore they had been in town two hours they were arrested for vagrancy and given six weeks at Fort Saskatchewan, & provincia! prison twenty miles from Edmonton. AM told by men that served there that the place is unspeakable. Men are lashed there and then salt ix bbed into their wounds. In fact, 1 am led to believe that this prison is much like the’one known as Peter- Paul in Russia in the time of the czar. A judge here, or a police magistrate, is absolute in their decisions under what'is known as the British North- American Act. This act is a relic of British tyranny that is being de- nounced by all progressive people, One is denied a trial by jury and they are not even allowed to plead their own cases, The mere matter of becoming a British subject is of no earthly use to the foreigner or the American if he falls into the law, He will certainly be insulted by all that has to do with the court and in most cases “treated rough.” If the “British subject” becomes old and impover- ished and physically broken in Canada hes, obliged to ask those in author. straightforward manner fn which you } THREE PRIZES OFFERED WORKING GLASS WRITERS FOR BEST NEWS STORIES Three splendid books will be given as prizes to’ the workers who send in the best worker correspondent stories between now and Nov. 3. The first prize will be an in- tensely Interesting and Important book by Friedrich Engels, “The Peasant War in Germany.” This is just off the press and is a classic In its first American publication. Who will be the worker correspond- ent to get this fine book? The second prize will be that famous collection of vivid Red Car- toons. There are over seventy car toons by seventeen leading prole- tarian artists, For the third prize, the board- bound edition of the famous Russell- Nearing Debate has been selected. Bertrand Russell is known as an “intellectual giant” of England, and Scott Nearing has one of the keenest minds In America.’ It Is a book worth having. The prizes will be awarded Thurs- day, Now. 3. Send in that story now that you have been thinking about. It may win a prize—and, anyway, your fellow workers want to read it! Behind the Scenes in Canada at any place on British territory for justice, food, clothing, etc., H® WILL be obliged to go where he has lived, or where he “went broke.” He,may be hundreds of miles trom where he became a subject, and if he has not the means of transporta tion he is certainly more out of luck, because it will not be given to him. it he is able to reach his province or district he is-even then in most cases more “out ofjuck.” There are a great many in,the employ of the govern- ment to “sideirack” these appeals, They put the applicant to a quiz. How old is he? Has he aay property? Any‘ relations? ¢tc., etc, He is then directed to a public clinic. There he is obliged to Inform the entire house just why he is there. He is told to get on a table and be examined By a ‘Bomful of students, He is ordered and not requésted, He is told to sub- mit to positions of nudity merely to gratify their Curiosity. If he has any spirit and protests then he is “framed.” He will havé'to go before many of these government agents and they all stand in together po matter what kinds of enorinities are perpetrated and his protests will be phoned to the hext office ‘ail some “blocking” will be resorted to, H® WILL eventually be directed to a Salvation Army rooming house. {f he has any change he will have to use it there for lis room. If he is fed the public does it, certainly not the Salvation Army. It is a trick of the Salvation Army to wait or even force one on the rocks and then do @ bit of spectacular work before the public and term it “uplift.” Know this, that the Salvation Army on the street corner is certainly not the Sal- vation Army behind the scenes. You will hardly believe the cold-blooded work resorted to thera Men are bawled out by these “officers” in a nifty uniform, sneered at, treated as an inferior, not associated with more than is absolntely necessary. Many are in rags, elbows and knees out, ete. The Salyation Army sends a nifty motor car around the city to beg old clothes, These clothes are sold again in a Salvation Army store and not given io unfortunate people, And please, reader, do not doubt this ¥tate- ment becau is quite true and all Edmonton it. When the stage will stand the setting a religious farce is “pulled oft” Jn order to keep up the bluff, No ong, however, is misled by these Salva’ Army dumps. It is public that falls for keep a bunch of .on the streets to obtain the price of aypew uniform and a new motor car for these sky pilots. The suffering public does not want to go to the Salvation Army and this is just why the law forces this act, be- cause they hold that the indigent cit- izen will resort to any measure to try to “carry on” rather than go to any other farce that they have in their Salvation Army “house,” hotel or any line of fakes, Bank President a Suicide.

When news of the meeting reached the district office President Golden no- tifled the superintendent of schools that the use of the school hall should be denied the progressives. The su- perintendent, being a political hack, meeting could not be held on that day. The Meeting Was Held. But on the following day the meet- ing was held in another part of the town and in a public school, Brennan spoke and so did a Polish speaker. The speakers presented the program of the progressive ticket, the high spots of which are the organization of the unorganized, the nationaliza- tion of the mining industry, solidarity between the bituminous and anthra- cite miners, a labor party and the restoration to membership in the union of all those who were expelled lilegally by the bureaucracy. The miners present at the meeting received the speech with enthusiasm and promised to work hard until elec- tion day to carry this message to every member of the union in this dis- trict. | To Distribute Papers. We are actively working to dis- tribute the “Coal Miner,” national or- gan of the progressives, which we ex- pect here this week, and the Polish weekly, ‘“Trybuna Robotnicza,” which is rendering valuable service to the progressive cause, Under the slogan, “Save the Union,” he progressives here aim to line up this section 100 per cent behind the Brophy ticket.
