Although General Sandino’s forces entrenched in the El Chipote area, are repor.ed to have been receiv new recruits during the past week, the situation is' still quiet with the marines and the Nicaraguan constabulary better un-| prepared to give battle because of their own lack of reinforcements. In the hinterland there has been great enthusiasm among Sandino sup- porters, owing to the battle a week ago, it is reported, and this has re- sulted in additional men ‘joining the —Hberal forces. There are indications that the ma- rines are not planning to attack San- dino. It is even reported that some new efforts may be made ‘at sor, peace with Sandino. Sandino’s snipers are still active. 9. 500 Marines For Corinto SAN DIEGO, Jan. ment of nearly 500 marines will sail | from ‘here tomorrow for Corinto, the only western seaport of Nicaragua. | The force consists of three infantry | companies, a machine gun and how- itzer company .and a_ headquarters company. The departure of the ma- rines from San Diego coincides with the sailing of a thousand marines from Hampton Roads and Charleston. * * * Wives Say Farewell. NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 9. — In an atmosphere reminiscent of the World War, hundreds of wives and children | of the enlisted men have arrived at Hampton Roads to bid farewell to the soldiers who are being sent to invade Nicaragua and many of whom it is admitted will never return. The marines have been hurriedly as- sembled from points thruout the east | and final touches are being given to the outfit preliminary to their sailing tomorrow. Most of the marines are veterans of the United States’ previ- ous attacks in Latin America and China and no men whose enlistments are expiring in six months are being shipped to Nicaragua. The officers are frank in admitting that they par- ticipate a long hard campaign. NEW PARTY BOOKS: FOR MEMBERS Every member of the Workers (Communist) Party will have to ex- change his old book for a new one before the end of this month of Janu- ary in order to be considered in good standing. The new book is published for one year only and expires on December 1st, 1928. The new book also is num- bered so that this will afford the Party a better check-up and control of the membership. A new feature of the book is the place to record the attendance and activity of the member. This together with the dues payments will serve as a record for every member. All Party units and sub-divisions will make a special drive during the month of January to make every mem- ber in good. standing. your nucleus meeting and become a good standing and active member.

Another conference called in Pittsburgh, the heart of the great steel industry, also proved abortive. A. F. of L. Officialdom Faiis The ‘officialdom of the American Federation of Labor, apparently not recognizing the seriousness of the situation and the danger to the whole |trade union movement involved in the possibility of a defeat of the strike, has made no serious effort to conduct a relief campaign on a sufficiently broad scale. The breaking of this strike of workers who have for years consti- tuted the backbone of the American trade union movement would not only threaten the existence of the labor movement in the United States, but would have a damaging effect on the to attend a con-|} standard of living of the workers the world over. in the United States would be a signal for the bosses in other countries as well as in the United States to stage a new attempt to hammer down the living conditions of their employes. This is what followed the defeat of the miners’ strike in Great Britain. First Appeal Made. The heroic miners, veterans of many bitter struggles against the coal barons have until now refrained from appealing to their brothers and sters in other countries. This is the appeal made in their behalf to international labor. In the name of the common in- terests of the workers in all countries, in name of working class solidarity, as well as in the name of the self- interest of all workers we now call on international labor to come to the as- sistance of the battling miners of the United States and their destitute families, You must stand by the striking mine workers of America. \ If unionism is to survive they must win, Help them win and save unionism by contributing to their support. A defeat of the miners| y POLITICIANS IN COLORADO HIDE FROM MINER HATE DENVER, Jan. 9 (FP).—So strong has grown the sentiment against the brutal and illegal strike-breaking tac- ties of the state police, that reaction- ary politicians are taking advantage of it to get under cover for their for- mer weakness during the coal strike. Vagrangy Charges. Foster Cline, district attorney in Denver, sent a letter to. Mayor Ben F. Stapleton Wednesday in which he condemned the action of the state police and city coppers in bringing three Wobblies to Denver to be ques- tioned at the state capitol and then having the city police arrest them at the capitol and charge them with va- grancy; they were sentenced to serve 90 days, but have been released on ap- bonds. Never in my experience have I heard of justice being more ruthlessly prostituted than has been done in this case,” he said. “If we can perpetrate this kind of thing under the name of expediency, then so can the man who robs, steals or murders. The principle is the same—lawlessness in both cases. “If I read history correctly in the long spans between the periods of so- ial revolutions, the voice of the ority today is often considered ‘ong tomonrow. “ff the majority can arbitrarily suppress the voice of a minority, no matter how feeble that voice may be, we are departing a long way from the constitutional principles of freedom of speech laid down by our fore- fathers and we are establishing a dangerous precedent. “Tt would be better for our govern- ment and for law enforcement that every man be turned out of our jails than these men be incarcerated with- out cause and against all constitu- tional guarantees. “T would be untrue to my sense of justice and untrue to my conception of a lawyer’s duty if I did not protest against this unwarranted, unlawful and unconstitutional procedure.” Mr, Cline is not quite converted to radicalism, however. He still has as |one of his assistants Capt. Charles M. White, in command of the largest body of troops breaking the strike and secretary of the Democratic state committee. Mayor Stapleton’s answer was, “I am not interested.” He doesn’t come up for election until 1931. Mr. Cline’s term runs out after the election this fall. os %2—A detach. |<f 5 | i Pet , + VIOLIN VIRTUOSO siasetseisesscssesssissseessenetneestere STAR ix Fri. Kve., Jan. — 8.15 P.

As befits a tender- ed and civilized audience, the em- phasis all along falls on the psychological | difficulties of the weak man, forced to decide problems too great for him, and not on the objective tiampden events. The _ solilo- quys are best. The performance at Hampden’s is not intcenaed, apparenuy, to soive any ot the outstanding difficulties of the play, about which huge and indecisive and contradictory books have been written. Hampden’s Hamlet ‘ shows the same casualness about pinking Polonius that he does hesitation about stabbing the king consort, a state of mind never yet explained, except on the assumption of madness, which again another debatable matter. And neither does Hampden clear that up. The play is left the same mystery that it has always been, from Shal peare’s day to this, as good an. ex planation as any being Frank Harris theory that Shakespeare merely felt like making some Freudian revela- tions, and wrote himself up as the hero. of whatever next play he had in mind, the same happening to be a blood and thunder melodrama with half a dozen murders in it. And the incongruity remains with us even to this day. Hampden continues it. Waker is Hampden is good, as we said be- fore, but not enough better than the rest of his players to warrant his taking all of the curtain calls alone.
