With the approach of the national elections to the Reichstag, which will} be held Sunday, the fascists have con-| ducted a bitter campaign against the Communist Party. The gains which the Communists made in the Ham- burg and other local elections, as well as the crises in the coal, metal and chemical industries, indicate a pro- nounced swing to the left in the na- tional poll, The Hamburg attack promises to be the first of a series of attacks before the elections. The Steel Hel- mets have been particularly embit- tered: by their failure to secure the suppression of the Red Front Fight- ers’ League. The. Communist Party is carrying on am intensive drive in the Ruhr where the workers have been carrying on a struggle against wage cuts and a lenver working day. DEMOCRATS, VARE, IN ELECTION DEAL Charge Unholy Alliance in Pennsylvania WASHINGTON, May 18. — The honor of thieves seems to be very un- certain. Especially when there is big loot at stake such as the presidency of the United States. Tha placid waters of the senate committee’s so- called investigation into presidential campaign funds were slightly ruffled today by a charge that the demo- eratic organization in Pennsylvania had. entered into a-deal with the re- publicari boss. of Pennsylvania, Will- iam §S, Vare.

LABOR TEM PLE charges which tend to indicate that some unsavory hocus-pocus has been going on in the Smith organization in Pennsylvania. Meanwhile the Smith slush fund figures continue under fire. The names of 12 new witnesses have been suggested to the senate committee for examination regarding the’ Smith expenditures. The revelation that traction interests are behind the ef- fort to buy the nomination for Tam- many Hall’s: major servant and the cha: of Senator Heflin that the Smith fund is closer to $10,000,000 than to the $103,310 given by his manager are compelling the senate committee to make a gesture at fur- ther investigation. Ecuador Attempts to Protect Child Life New public health law of Ecuador enacted in 1927 prescribes short term imprisonment or fines ranging from 20 cents to $20, or both fine and im- prisonment, for mothers who declinc to nurse their infants at the breast unless a physician has certified their inability to do so. Similar penalties are prescribed for placing a chil¢ with a nurse who has not a physician’: certificate ‘of health, for failure tc have a child vaccinated against small- pox within a certain time or to pro- vide medical care for a child promp!- ly if neglect results in death, and for leaving a child locked in a house No Raise For Postal and ’ Foreign Employes araguan nationalist troops, sent a let- ter to the manager of an American mining company protesting against the “warlike invasion Your govern-| ment, has made in our territory with- out more right than that of brute force.” SANDINO BRANDS COOLIDGE PIRATE Sends Letter to U. S. Mine Manager (Continued from Page One) government, and from Calvin Cool- idge, who is responsible for the hor- rible and disastrous situation that prevails in Nicaragua today. “If you are an honorable man you will be able to understand that the above mentioned is an accomplished fact. The pretext that Coolidge brings forward for his intervention is that pf protecting lives and interests of the North American and other foreigners residing in this country, which is a tremendous hypocrisy. Fruits of Imperialism. “We Nicaraguans are respectable men and never in our history have occurred such happenings as are tak- ing place at this time. They are the fruit of the politics of your country- men in our own country. “The most honorable resolution that your country could adopt in this con- flict with Nicaragua is to retire your armed forces from our territory, thus permitting us Nicaraguans to elect our national government. This will be the only method of pacification in our counsry. It depends upon government to conserve the good or bad friend- ship between our own government and yours.” The letter was signed “Sandino” and bore the Sandino stamp and seal at the top of which is the picture of a marine with a drawn sword. Calls Letter Authentic. The letter which General Sandino is according to Manuel Gomez, secretary of the All-American Anti-Imperialist League. The letter, however, was probably garbled in translation. “Sandino has indicated in all of his statements that he realizes that the American workers are allied with him in the struggle against imperialism,” szomez said, ASKS SYMPATHY FOR BIG TRUSTS Federal Commissioner “Interprets” Times (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW ORLEANS, May 18.—An in- lirect plea for a tolerant attitude tc the increasing tendency towards trustifieation and mergers in industry was made today by Federal Trade Commissioner Abram F. Myers, in @ speech before the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association in which he pictured the change which had aken place in the interpretation of the Sherman anti-trust law as affect- ing trade practices. “The department of justice for sev- eral years looked upon all trade as- sociation activities with suspicion,” Myers declared, “but the old order has changed and economists and statesmen today recognize that our great national prosperity cannot he maintained on principles of jungle competition.” Trade commissioners, federal and newspapermen and to 50,000 workers} and members of the civil service who will alternately attend the trial, but the complete testimony and all of the speeches will be broadcast over the radio, Preliminary investigation revealed the accused*had received money from | foreign firms and from monarchists who had owned the mines under the ezarist regime to sabotage the de- velopment of the mines in the Don Basin. The indictment against the accused alleges that they had plotted to hamper the coal industry so that the mines would be considered worth- less and turned back to the persons who had previously owned them. GUNS FORGE END OF PERU STRIKE CALLAO, Peru, May 18.—Rushing troops to cow the striking longshore- men of the port of Lima, together with the railroad men who had gone out with them, the government has succeeded in compelling the both lines to return to their jobs under the rifles of the armed forces. For two days past, the sailors of the port have been forced to unload and load vessels tied up in the harbor while the Peruvian troops patrolled the docks -with guns in their hands. Clashes with the police who at- tempted to break up demonstrations of the strikers farther in the city re- sulted in a number of injuries, none of them serious, however. R.R.

Whether or not the police partici- pated in the struggle has not been learned. The walk-out in Santa Fe is nearly one hundred per cent in spite of the effort of certain elements to halt a} general tie-up. The spirit of the men is militant and firm in the face of the dock owners, strike leaders state. The longshoremen of Santa Fe, which is the third largest port in the Argentine, ‘went out on sympathy strike with the Rosario barbor work- ers two days ago. ** Rosario Isolated BUENOS AYRES, May 18.—Fol- lowing the virtual isolation of Rosario yesterday as a result of the tie-up of railroad communication, the officials and the dock and railroad owners are making desperate efforts to rush in strikebreakers. The presence of the scabs has led to violent clashes with the strikers in which the police participated. No new casualties have been reported, however. The authorities and owners frankly admit that the slight advantage they gained yesterday with the first inroad of strikebreakers has now been com- pletely lost. A delegation from the Rosario stock exchange has appealed to the pro- Despatches from practically every town on the coast or in the interior of Argentina report growing unrest among the workers.

The front of the man’s skull was crushed, and it was necessary to re- move a part of his brain.

REPUBLICANS IN NEGRO BETRAYAL Bolster Fake Promises With Slush Fund WASHINGTON, May 18.—Corrupt Hoover politics among the Negro poli. ticians in the Old Guard republican camp was uncovered by the senate committee investigating presidential | campaign expenditures.
