July 122.— Four y state troopers charged with having robbed Timothy Meaney of $2,675 in h after their attack on the Mean rm-house and murder of Beatrice Meaney were acquitted late yesterday aftrnoon. The jury had been out 23 hours and 3 minutes when the verdict was pro- nounced. The accused, Lieuvenant Daniel F. Rogers, Sergeant Thoma -+ Cunning- | ham, Corporal Matthew Daly and/ Trooper Joseph A.

Timothy Meaney testified during the trial that after he was searched by the troopers, when the siege was lifted, he discovered the money had been taken from a coat hanging on the door of his farmhouse. During the siege Miss Beatrice Meaney, sister of Tim, was fatally wounded by members of the state po- lice, several of whom were convicted of manslaughter recently. Adjourn “Boston Billy” Trial.

It was announced today. Federal agents arrested 20,000 more persons than the year before., A majority of those apprehended were accused of major violations of the) law, including conspiracies against the government, smuggling and big) bootlegging operations. Several international smuggling and bootlegging rings were put out) of commission and their leaders sen- tenced to jail. Reports at the close of the year, however, indicated that many big bootlegging corporations are still in existance. Administrators | here for a week’s conference, have been informed that serious problems} confront the enforcement machine in| the next year. H More than 2,500,000 gallons of! whiskey, wine, cider and malts were} seized by the federal authorities, a! considerable decrease over the year! before, although captures of boats and automobiles were heavier. H A survey of enforcement showed! that the average fine for persons! convicted in the federal courts was) $150 and the average jail sentence! 140 days. A majority of those ar-| rested were convicted. The best| record for the percentage of convic-! tions was made .in the Chicago and} Montana districts. 5 | PS (-) — (0) ———— (-) — (+) ————(-) — (oJ YOUR TAMP Buy — 7 NOTIFY THE It is the only way to finance Money must be sent in toda: om 6 SO r10r 0% CONVENTION nnn nee: your unit organizer has none— your unit organizer has not sold them— your unit organizer has not sent in the money for them— your unit organizer is not pushing the sale energetically— ATIONAL OFFICE! you from losing your right to vote.

The Executive of the Coney Island) Workers Club also decided to donate $200 to the Joint Defense Committee.

At a meeting called to dis- cuss this decision the members en-} thusiastically approved and decided to| raise the money at once. $185 was realized. The members who were not at the meeting will also be visited and instead of the $200 pledged they will try to make it $300. * + $50 At Graduation Party. An appeal for the Defense at a graduation party in the house of Brother Rench in honor of his niece, brought a collection of $50. M. Hein forwarded $5 to the Defense. * * ¥ * More Vacation Money. A check for $106.2! was received at the Defense Office with the following letter: “Dear Comrades:—We are in the mountains on our vacation, but have not forgotten that you remained in New York to continue the heroic struggle against the betrayers. We feel that your struggle is our strug- gle and while we cannot be with you on the picket line, we send this con- tribution as a symbol of solidarity. We take this opportunity to extend our heartiest thanks to all those who contributed, and.to the management of “The House of Joy” for their kind cooperation in helping to make the collection. Fraternally, M. Green- stein, Kaufman, S. Pecker, Gladstein and Rothenberg.” There are many other class con- scious workers who are at present on vacation and they must not forget the brave struggle that our brothers are waging. Make collections in your hotel or camp and forward it im- mediately to the Defense Office. * * * Rock Island, TH. Twenty-eight dollars with the fol- lowing letter from a group of sym- pathizers of Rock Island, Ml. was received at the Defense Office. “Heartiest greetings to you brother Furriers! Although we are not con- nected with you on the economic field we are in the fullest sympathy with you. Your fight is justified and you must win. The Truth is on your side, therefore your victory is as- sured.” This is another example which not alone in their struggle. Mrs. Lena Weinrib and Mrs. Moskowitz were active in raising the $28.00. * * * Carpenters and electricians who have any leisure time are asked to come into the Defense Office im- mediately.

Appointment of Walter Wood of Kansas, a Reublican white politician, brings little satisfaction. Under all previous administrations, the position of registrar of the treasury has been ‘ political plums awarded them for faithfulness to the Republican party. Cuban Government Stages Red Raids fo Prevent Strikes HAVANA, July 12—The Cuban government, in response to demands of the American sugar, tobacco and other trusts having interests has be- gun an offensive against the labor movement by wholesale arrests of Communists. The slave drivers fear that the sugar cane crop will be en- dangered unless the demands of the workers are met and so the govern- ment pretends to have “discovered” a plot against itself. Fifty-seven Communists are under arrest in Camaguri and Regla and some 100 or more have been arrested and held incommunicado in Havana. No specific charges have been filed against the prisoners, as Cuban law permits the holding of prisoners on open charges for a period of seventy- two hours. Meanwhile the houses and headquarters of Communists are being burglarized by the police who are stealing tons of literature and fixtures. Civil Wage Increase Carried in Committee Over Poincare’s Will PARIS, July 11.—The Poincare | Government suffered two defeats to- day in the Finance Committee of the Chamber on the question of an in- crease in pay for Government em- | ployees. An amendment to increase | the original proposal for an expendi- | ture of 600,000,000 francs to $900,- | 000,000 franes was carried by a vote | of 14 to 8 over the bitter opposition | of the Premier. | A provision that the 1928 budget | surplus be applied to this sum was | shows that the fighting furriers are| opposed by M. Poincare with equal |fervor, but he was again defeated. \It is expected that the open dis- ‘cussion in the Chamber on Wednes- | day will be the setting for a severe struggle on this question. There was more than a covert warning in the | Premier’s statement to the Committee that continued opposition to his po- | gessor of an automobile you can be | licy in this matter would result in his of great help to the Defense this | leavirlg “to others the responsibility OOO RIOESIOE week, of destroying the budget equilibrium.” | filled with Negroes as one of the few | KELLOGG AGAIN ATTACKS CALLES FOR OIL TAXES Two More Secret Notes } Sent to Mexico WASHINGTON, July. 12.—The |fourth message from the Kellogg branch of the Coolidge-Wall Street | administration at Washington has been dispatched in secrecy to Wash- ington .

MEXICO CITY, July 12—The| newspaper “El Universal Grafico” not a pro-Calles organ, sharply con-| demns the resigning American min- ister Sheffield for his conduct of his office here, for the insulting tone of | his communications with the Mexican | government and for his open associa- | tion with aristocratic elements hos- tile to and at times in open armed rebellion against the Calles adminis- tration.

German Press Demands Rhineland Evacuation BERLIN, July 12. — Immediate evacuation of the Rhineland by French and Allied troops is urged by the German Press in fulfillment of promises made to Germany at the time of signing the Locarno Treaty, nearly two years ago. The occasion for reiteration of this request is pro- vided by the announcement that Ger- many has fulfilled the demand of the allies that she destroy her eastern fortifications, and has passed the “war material” law required by them. The “Berliner Tageblatt” points out that all peace treaty conditions have now been carried out, and the evacuation of the Rhineland must now take place as a matter of right, | and that any evasion or refusal will | ‘constitute a breach of contract on the part of the allies. The Press in general takes the po- sition that, having fulfilled her obli- gations, Germany has the right to demand that the allies look to the fulfillment of theirs. Survey Wages, Hours of Machine Shop Workers WASHINGTON, (FP) July 12.— Unions in the machine trade hope to gather valuable information for their organization work from the sched- uled survey of wages and hours in foundries and machine shops, to be undertaken by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The survey will be com- pleted by the end of the year after taking samples of statistics in shops employing 125,000 workers. The prin- cipal states to be covered are Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

A. Levine from Eu- rope to America under the pilotage of the French ace, Drouhin, has ex- cited similar plans among the Ger- mans.

This is the evidence submitted by E. G. Pipp. a former editor of the Dearborn In- dependent, which will appear in the American Hebrew next Friday. Aspiring to the presidency and hoping to gain votes in backward communities, Ford had the articles published, Pipp says. “When Ford first launched the attacks on the Jews,” he declares. “he was a candi- date for the presidency of the United States—firmly so in his own mind. He figured that the prejudice in small communities thruout the United States was so strong against the Jews that he would gain three, four or five votes for every Jewish vote he would lose,” Ford’s sudden reversal of his posi- tion is ascribed to the rapid inroads made in his sales by the General Mo- tors, which is engaging in a titanic struggle with the Ford Company for control of the automobile market. The recent decline in‘Ford’s production has led to sudden henevolence toward the Jews, it is stated. Boston ‘Street Car Men Win Six-Day Week But Suffer Big Pay Slash BOSTON, (FP) July 12.—Winning a 6-day week for the first time, 4000 union Boston street car men have taken with it a wage cut. Hourly rates have been increased 212 am |to Michigan City, Indiana, on Sunday, | hour, but the higher rate leaves weekly pay about $5.16 short of for- mer earnings. Motormen and conductors, one-man car operators and bus drivers and 100 miscellaneous employes are af- fected by the new agreement. The basic rates for motormen and con- ductors is 75 cents an hour with the increase. This is the second consecu- tive year the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street & Electric Railway Em- ployes has dealt directly with the Boston Elevated Co., instead of re- sorting to arbitration as previously. Hunt Murderers of 8 In Chicago Booze Feud CHICAGO, July 12.—Heavily armed detectives tramped the streets of “Little Italy” today in an effort to halt the feud that has resulted in the death of eight Italians within the last twelve days. The heavy police guard was thrown ‘into the district last night after the latest victims, Viovani Blandina and Caspar Alagna, had been shot to death, the men were neighbors and friends. Police believe all eight recerit slay- ings can be tracked back to the Ven- detta which originated when the Gen- ‘na gang of alcohol peddiars was in its prime. 3 Die In English Storms.
