They were British radicals and are now out- fide the Communist movement. They were more radical. than Lenin if phrasemongering and frothing at the mouth were the only criterion of radi- calism. Lloyd George was at this time on the top of the heap, much to the discomfort of the British bourgeoisie who looked on the wily Welshman as @ sort of human polecat who,was use- ful as long as the enemy was around but made a disagreeable guest at a garden party wherg the ladies wore delicate maiment. eee b PLE like Sylvia Pankhurst held * that all capitalist politicians at all times were the servants of the capital- ists. But Lenin hit this theory witha well directed shot of logic and proved that at times a good demogogue may have the capitalists by the small of the back, and tho this demogogue is undoubtedly loyal to the system on which he battens, nevertheless he is monarch of all he surveys for the mo- ment. Since he has the necessary mass following, he formulates policies that have as their‘ first consideration hhis own political fortunes. The ecap!- talists do not like to have such a person fastened on them permanently and they take the first opportunity that presents itself to get rid of him. That's just what they did to Lloyd wyeree. ee ALVIN COOLIDGE is no Lloyd George, but he’s nobody's sap, Cal- vin has no ambition to hike back to Vermont and collect bills on a 25% commission as he did in the old daya before he became a famous strike- r.

But the peculiar switching of Sig- nor Federzoni from the ministry of interior to the ministry of colonies is reported to' have been prompted by the Garibaldi disclosures, since the ministry of interior is held reapon- sible for the action of the Italian po- lice. Affair Not Settled. The French secret service has not, however, completed its. inquiry. into the Garibaldi affair and the recent dis- orders at Ventimille have not been satisfactorily settled. The Italian goy- ernment has not offered apologies but has suggested that the French citi- zens held in connection with the dis- orders shail be released in exchange for the release of fascists who are held by ‘the French authorities. France fs inclined to believe that more drastic action\than this is re- quired and that Italy; should offer apologies.

WASHINGTON — (FP) —Federal District Judge George W. English, of East St. Louis, Ill., has resigned from the bench rather than “face trial um der impeachment charges before the senate. Trial was set for Nov. 10, and senators were enroute to the cap- ital from all parts of the country to hear the evidence when English am nouneed that he woud make no de- fense and would leave his judicial post. While the senate in fts capacity as a court could try the accused, in order to fix upon him the penalty of being barred henceforth from hold- ing any federal office, sentiment among leaders in that body was ai! against such action. It is likely that the senate wil meet, hear the an- nouncement of the resigtation ana possibly the reading of the articles ot impeachment, and then take a recess until the date of the opening of the regular session of congress in Decem- ber. At that time, unless the house offers objection, the senate will prob- ably vote to adjourn as a court, thereby putting an end to the case. Wilson Appointee. English was appointad to the fea- eral bench by President Wilson, ana at that time claimed to be a friend of | organized labor. (Wilsqn appointed English on the recommendation or Samuel Gompers.—Ed.) When the, railroad. shopmen’s strike began in the summer of 1922 he became very active in seeking to assist Harry Daugherty, then federal attorney gen- eral, inf breaking the strike. He sum. moned into his court, in violation or law, the sheriffs and prosecuting at- tornéys of two counties of IlMnois in which were located a big termina raiiroad yard, and threatened them with martial law unltss they shoula suppress “disorder” ong strikers. — «4 y ‘With violent and vulgar language he discussed the possibility that “some, wives will be widows” unless his or- ders were obeyed. +. Osborne Worker Attorney. When one of the lawyers for the federated shop crafts demanded « jury trial in English’s court for a striker accused of violating one of his injunctions, English flew into a rage and drove him from the court- room, He then called him back and told the lawyer that he was barrea from practicing in that court. He disbarred another lawyer in similar ir- regular fashion. During the long hearings and argn- ment before the house judiciary com mittee and before the house, leading to the formal impeachment of Judge English, the fact that the judge haa intervened against strikers was not emphasized, but the fact tft’ he rob- bed lawyers of their ordinary rights was pointed out with much eloquence | (Continued on ‘page 2) JUDGE ENGLISH QUIT; BEFORE HE I$ FIRED; WAS GOMPERS?

R., Nov. 9—Representatives of the Miners’ Union of Soviet Republics have postponed their departure for Berlin where they were to have met the executive of the British Miners’ Federation on the basis of last minute information reaching here that the acute stage of the coal crisis in Great Britain now transpiring will not permit them to leave England. t Accordingly the conference that was to have effected Anglo-Russian unity between the two miners’ unions is postponed to a date to be chosen mt later.

Presidential Coolidge’s proposal for a 10 or 12% per cent rebate of this year’s federal income taxes faces a@ stiffer fight to enactment today be cause opposition has developed with- in-the administration’s own ranks in congress as well as from the republi- ean insurgent group.

A similar view was expressed by Senator Charles L. McNary, R., of Oregon, a western ad- ministration leader. Debt Retirement Plan. Norris, who will lead the little band of insurgents who hold a “balance of power” in the senate of the seven. teenth congress, proposed that the $250,000,000 surplus, expected in the treasury by the end of the year, should be used to retire the public debt. The ‘republican organization «mean while took steps to initiate work on a new tax bill, whether the legislation ultimately conforms to the president's rebate proposal or to the democratic demands for a downward slash of all federal taxes.

If the views of Norris are sup- ported by other progressives, it was pointed out, the democratic plan may be defeated even tho the minority is able to block enactment of Coolidge’s rebate.
