Realizing this the state has cooperated with the coffee producers consistently, doing everything to encourage the business, such as building roads and railroads for them, again on money borrowed from England. The state does not have any other successful industry, general chaos reigning in the textile mills. The coffee institute, with the help of British capital, has been able thus far to retain its high price level and to reap tremendous profits. But a note of danger has been instilled by the American producers, who do not seem to be satisfied with their pro- fits and are demanding a reduction in the price of coffee. This not forth- coming, the Americans have declared a virtual boycott of Brazilian cof- fee. War Clouds. The editor of the Rio de Janeiro paper, O. Journal, this morning pointed to the danger of the Amer- ican sabotage and wrote, “America, directed by the able strategist, Hoover, fought rubber’s valorization and defeated it. I am not surprised that America plans to do the same with coffee, for America is doing it now vigorously, and I call Brazil’s attention to it.” The serious situation, in which Brazil seems to be caught between the United States and Britain, has led Dr. Paulo R. Pestana, director of the department of industry and commerce to declare, ‘“‘on the horizon are surging dark clouds, messengers of approaching peril.” 15 Victims of Ohio Jail Fire in Morgue; Five Still Missing JUNCTION CITY, Ohio, Oct. 9 (UP).—The bodies of fifteen prison- ers, burned to death when the brick plant prison dormitory here was de- stroyed, were in the prison morgue today, none identified. Five men were missing and another was be- Neved dying in the prison hospital. Prison authorities believe that two of the missing five were burned to death. Nearly forty were in the hospital suffering from burns. Three separate investigations ‘were under way today to determine the origin of the fire, which en- dangered 288 sleeping prisoners. COMMUNISTS GAIN IN SWEDEN. The final returns of the Swedish general election show that the Com- munists have gained four seats while the social-democrats have lost fifteen. The state of parties is now as follows: conservatives 73 seats (eight gains), agricultural unionists 27 seats (four gains), liberals four (no change), radicals 29 (one loss), social democrats 90 (fifteen losses), and Communists eight (four gains). jagainst. a white man charged with| |lynching a wounded Negro prisoner | just before the democratic conven-| | tion.

Chernenko Rouses Workers. This sort of speech, delivered to an audience about to go on strike, and the dispirited and listless speech of several of the union officials, had the effect of leaving the workers cold and puzzled. It was only on the introduction of Lena Chernenko, who is remembered by many of the | workers here as a devoted leader of the Passaic strike, that the meet- ing took fire and flamed into en- thusiasm, Completely ignoring the slurring remarks of the previous speaker, the girl strike leader warmly con- gratulated the workers for their de- cision to fight for better working standards, Four or five times dur- ing her speech she was interrupted with bursts of spontaneous applause and was the recipient of a ten-min- ute ovation when she concluded. Tremendous enthusiasm _— was evinced from her hearers when she declared that they would receive the support of the newly organized Na- tional Textile Workers Union of America. She praised the strike committee for its decision to make the strike general, and told them not to stop at taking inte the union only the unorganized workers in the silk manufacturing industry but also to exert al! afforts possible to spread the strike to the thousands of totally unorganized dye house workers. . ho wins when you read your ses’ paperh te ITALY NAVY NOTE | Mussolini Ranged With) “The socialist party of America | United States 4 PARIS, Oct. 9.—French to reach the proportions of the other | French navy, when the Italian reply | ie Anglo-French pact ranging ti | Mussolini on the side of the United | “lection campaign which is against | States was made public here today.

The epidemic has been traced to the city water supply, which, it i said, was never properly purified despite assurances of city officials to the contrary. The inhabitants of this city, who have been in a state of panic since the epidemic started, are incensed at this criminal neglect of matters that mean life or death to them and vestigation and the fixing of re- sponsibility.
