Mexican Congress for Svecessor for Calles MEXICO CITY, Sept. 6. — Con- gress is expected to select a provi- siona! rresident to succeed Plutar- cho lias Calles within the next ‘ortnight. The selection of a candidate for one year, pending the new elections, was indicated as the deputies plan- ned to name the next executive al- most, immediately instead of waiting until’ the last of November when President Calles’ term will expire. New names have been placed in the spotlight since President Calles’ opening address to the congress Sat- urday in which he predicted the end of military rule in Mexico. Most prominently mentioned for the presidency have been Joaquin Amero, Minister of War; General Jose Gonzales Escobar; Gov. Manuel Perey Trevino, and Emilio Portes Gil, Minister of Interior.

(By Mail).— A new national miners union, with fighting policies ae organized bod- ies of coal m section of the industry to start with, is an assured fact. Despite all the terror- ism and intimidation of the Lewis machine and the lack of funds for an intensive campaign by the pro- tens of thousands of mine have elected delegates to the onal Convention, Sept. 9-16, at Pittsburgh, Pa., which will organ- ize the new union, liberating. the miners from the traitorous leader- ship which has wrecked their old union. At least 600 delegates will gather in Pittsburgh for this historic task. judging by the large number of cre- dentials that have already reached the headquarters of the National Convention A ‘sements Commit- tee, according to Pat H. Toohey, Sec- retary of the Committee. The credentials already received show the following number of dele- gates from the various coal fields: at least 40 from the states west of Illinois, 45 from Indiana and Ken- y, about 75 from Illinois, over 50 from Ohio, about 150 from the Pittsburgh District, about 20 from District 2, Central Pennsylvania, 50 from the Anthracite, about 100 from West Virginia and 70 from the un- organized counties of Pennsylvania. No doubt there are additional dele- gates whose credentials have not arrived yet. The large delegations from the formerly unorganized territories are of particular significance. In the short time that’ the National Con- vention Arrangements Committee has carried on organizing work, and despite the lack of funds, it has suc- ceeded in organizing a large number of locals and has established hun- dreds of groups in the formerly un-| organized coal fields, The miners everywhere have responded with en- thusiasm to the call for the new, fighting National Miners Union, and will gather their forces for the | struggle to regain the losses suf- fered through the betrayals of the Lewis machine and to re-establish union conditions in the industry. Every indication points to a rapid growth of the new union. Sept. 9 will usher in a new day for the miners of this country. —A, ¢. 9 Ronbing Plans in Military Maneuvers, FORT BRAGG, N.

Those arrested were classed as “aliens” and “foreigners” (all resi- |i dents outside of Martins Ferry are aliens) and charged with rioting and holding meetines which are a menace to public safety. The police of Martins Ferry at- tempted to scare the workers from attending the Sacco-Vanzetti meet- ing by making statements in the lo-| cal papers that “there will be no meeting tonight” and that “patriotic organizations would come to the aid of the authorities to drive the ‘reds’ from the city.” Patrol wagons and riot guns were | on hand at the meeting and the | speakers were not given an oppor-| tunity to say much when they were | hustled to the waiting patrol. Sev- eral hundred of the crowd followed | the police to the city jail and police fearing trouble gave the arrested men a sneedy hearing and ordered them sent to the county jail at St. Clairsville. An armed escort of | many machines was necessary to bring the men to the county jail because their “Communist friends” might try to rescue them en route. The bail of the arrested men was | |fixed at $1,000 and although the hearing was speedy yet their re- lease was delayed to three days be- cause the judge was out of town, | (playing golf at a country club), and, besides “the men were better locked up than free.” The arrested men sang solidarity songs and local | papers stated that they were a group of “radical foreigners” who (learned this from the songs) have | been planning a revolution for Oc-| tober in Martins Ferry.
