now Wells' home—which is Just next
now
We were terribly tired but even
so the train ride was fun
We passed nice little vine-covered
stone houses thatch-roofed
and set-in gardens The Mosleys
met us So cordial they were and
warmly friendly that we miracu-
lously lost all tiredness We drove
from the village which is about
four miles away along a very
pretty English countryside to the
park gates—and then miles to the
most enormous mansion surround-
ed by gardens and pools and rose
arbors and tennis courts and end-
less things of beauty which outdo
the wildest painted stage scenery
I've ever seen
Most Entrancing Gardens
Our room is on the top floor
looking out on these most entranc-
ing gardens the end of which we
cannot even see But there's
scarcely time to tell about them—
rose-coveredsolumns yews cut like
sentinels thatched summer houses
vine-covered built up in great
trees little surprising nooks fitted
with stone seats sunken gardens
bursts of the brightest dowers
around corners formal beds stud-
ding acres of close cropped lawn
paths leading through wildish
places
I'll tell you about the mansion
any room of which Is larger than
your entire house
It is somewhat like the white
house in Washington but the rooms
are much larger and fuller and
more gaudy
I don't even now (and it's 24
hours) know how many rooms
there are—but the staircase is a
broad green and gold affair with
mirrors for walls and divans on
every landing wbich you may have
seen the like of in the movies—but
I doubt it
In fact Pie never seen anything
half so exquisite as the gardens—
not even in the movies All the
12-s"-ic'4 of centuries are collected
In the house and the gardens seem
to have been tended for almost for-
ever since the Warwicks are an
old English feudal family closely
allied with British royalty which
reminds me that the butler re-
ferred to the Countess of Warwick
as "her ladyship" this morning
and I felt too utterly as if I were

The General Strike
As to the Labor school—
Pat Dolan of Clyde Scotland is
manager of the school ("the dicta-
tor" he calls himself) this fort-
night of which we missed one day
Mr Dolan is a witty and charm-
ing fellow who seems well loved
even by those who do not agree
with him
I brought him papa's regards- 1
Fenner Brockway is here (he is
the secretary of the Independent
Labor party) and last night Phillips-Rice
gave the lecture hich
was on the general strike He
gave an historical survey showing
that the gineral strike has never
been successful when it was waged
over a purely economic issue and
proved that It Wa niutt effective
W hen it was tied up with sonic po-
litical demands
There was much agitation among
the GO students who though they
were courteous as to the academic
value of his speech had expected
him to talk about the general
strike of May
Mosley Calms Discussion
It seems that the Labor party—
or at least the younger members--
are very resentful of the trades
anion leatiers who called off the!
trike without even tLe guarantee
of no penalties for the worker
And there was a good bit of ex- 1
cited condemnation aimed at the
leaders in general including and
csPechIllY J Ramsay MacDonald (
Then T Oswald Mosley rose Ina
persuasive and yet dominatingly
logical way he urged "wars usually t
ate not won or lost in one great
clash" That the mistake made by (
the Labor party was Its failure to
demand a general election last year (
—backed by the threat of a general
strike
He argued that if the Tories had t
denied them a "general election" t
on the important issue of wages c
after Baldwin bad said "every r
worker in England must ex)cet a t
reduction of wages"—tben they s
would have had an issue near and
dear to the hearts of libel ty-loving
A
door (beyond the park) Mr Wells
isn't at home—only his wife
Later Cynthia Mosley says she
means to drive us to Scotland stay-
ing two nights with her relatives
en route and also arranging a big
miners' meeting on the way In
Scotland we shall live at the sum-
mer home of the Mosleys—next
door to Ramsay MacDonald And
after that the Mosleys talk of tak-
ing me to motor all over the con-
tinent Tennis On Wells Court
Lady Cynthia is the most gra-
cious of hostesses the most charm-
ing by far of all the persons here
Yesterday Mr Mosley and my
husband (Colin G Wells) and John
Strachey and I went over to play
on H G Wells' court
The Wells house is charming!—

bright gay garden and park where
!"Mr 'trilling saw things through"
John Strachey is the editor of The
Socialist Review The Miner and
author of several pamphlets lies

tor MacDonald and Snowden and

bit of ragging from the speakers
here who are by and large—rather
young
Talk Labor Financial Problenri
All day yesterday there were lec-
tures on the future financial policy
of the Labor party
The question for them is how
can they so expand credit as to cre-
ate a market which will induce
the maximum production of eco-
nomic wealth which they say will
be necessary in a government if
child allowances shorter hours
pensions etc are to be affectuated
For the first time I found the
subject of finance enthralling
Then there were some very stim-
ulating discussionr of what the
next Labor government must do in
Its first three SPSSiOnS and about
apart in the clouds the grass the

DictThOMA LEADER
WASII1NGTON—The lowest lev-
el in farm prices for almost two
years was shown by the July price
index just issued by the depart-
ment of agriculture Dairy prod-
ucts gained a point but the pur-
chasing power of grain truits veg-
etables cotton and cotton seed de-
clined The statement of the department
follows in part:
"The general level of prices for
farm products- declined to 132 per-
cent of the pre-war level by August
15 continuing the drop which car-
ried it from 139 in June to 135 in
July This is 20 points or about
13 percent lower than in August
last year This index of 132 is the
lowest reached in nearly two years
"Small price gains in cotton and
grains were more than offset by
declines in the meat animal and
fruit and vegetable groups Farm
prices of corn advanced 11 percent
from July 15 to August 15 while
the price of hogs dropped about
8 points With July 15 farm prices
the price of i(t) pounds of hogs
was equivalent to the price of near-
ly 18 bushels of corn while Au-
gust 15 this ratio was reduced to
less than 15 bushels which is the
lowest since November 1925 The
farm price of rye increased 7 per-
cent and the price of potatoes
dropped nearly 20 percent

he has had an opportunity of giv-

For a time it looked as though

fore the hearings Attorney Gen-

ing to obtain a respite backed
down Thompson appealed to the
governor protesting that in a hun
dred years no attorney general had
refused to respite a murder wit-
ness under such circumstances
But Fuller rebuffed him referring
him to Judge Thayer who presides
at the Sacco-Vanzetti hearings
Thayer recommended the extension
and Fuller granted the respite of
execution

LA FOLLETTE
GETS PRAISE
OF MORRISON
Great Progressive Leader
Given Eulogy Of
Secretary
MADISON -- (FP) — Eulogy of
the late Senator Robert M La Fol-
lette arid a warning that the work
ers must defend America against
th e Mussolini idea" company
!unions and injunction judges
I marked the Labor day address of
Frank Ntorrison secretary of the
American Federation of Labor at
a demonstration here As a young
man Morrison worked as a com-
positor on a Madison daily and he
spoke as an early admirer of "Bat-
tling Bob"
"There was not a selfish strain
In his makeup" said Morrison "Ile
disregarded consequences and he
threw every ounce of his being into
the people's fight for justice His
knowledge of the labor movement
his sympathy with the oppressed
his fearlessness in challenging
wrong will be a lasting guide in the
contest against entrenched privi-
lege It is needless to express
the hope that Wisconsin citizens
will not ignore the rich heritage he
left them and that they will con-
tinue the struggle he so succese
fully championed and led"
Unions Not Narrow
Asserting that the labor move-
ment has made substantial gains
in better wages shorter hours and
generally improved conditions dur-
ing the past year Morrison said
the trade unions had given all the
workers a discontent leading them
to a higher intelligence This
higher level he added could be
reached only through organization
and education
He denied that the unions are
narrow W'orkers of every raca
creed nationality and political
view are found within the A F of
L he said and the only test is:
"Ho you work for wages?" Th
only standardized view for the
movement was that the wage
workers must unite to improve liv-
ing standards decrease hours and
Improve working conditions
Company unions Morrison said
assume the form but never the
spirit that the "open shop" theory
has failed yet they seek to tin-
pose on modern industry a kind of
feudalism which is abhorrent to
democracy
31UMS01111i Idea
"The Mussolini idea of govern-
ment or lack of government" de-
Oared the A F of L secretary "is
defended in the name of efficiency
There is no doubt that it will be
efficient as far as privilege is con-
cerned and that the few can satisfy
their wants because the people will
not be permitted to be informed
We want no Museolini system
whereby Rome future occupant of
the White House may say: 'I will
permit congres41 but I will pay no
attention to it' With that genii-
ment accepted free press and free
speech will go the same way and
our boasted democracy will silent-
ly pass even though its Passing
may be less theatrical than that of
Italy's freedom"
Injunction judges Morrison said
"forget that wage workers are not
fastened to their jobs as agricul-
tural workers were in the feudal
age" and hence they turn their
courts into strike breaking ma-
chines The cure for injunction
judges he declared was non-partisan
political action by the workers
who have votes enough to fill the
bench with judges loyal to demo-
cratic ideals
MINE ERISE
S LIS 44 LIVES
Miners Perish At Clymer
Pennsylvania
CLYMER Fa--Forty-four is be-
lieved to be the total number of
miners who perished in the ex-
plosion on August 26 of Clymer
mine No 1 of the Clearfield
Bituminous Coal corporation Four-
teen men escaped ten practically
uninjured and four suffering from
gas and shock
Investigators for the United
States bureau of mines said they
had not found the cause of the ex-
plosion but the general theory is
that it was due to an explosion of
coal dust Rescue squads from
Pittsburgh Johnstown and the
Bethlehem steel mills aided the
men from the Pittsburgh elation of
the bureau of mines in recovering
the bodies
One of the injured men J M
Olson told the story of the ex-
plosion lie was 4000 feet down
when the blast occurred
"I was thrown to the ground by
(he force of the 'data" he said
"When I got up I was dazed For
minutes I suppose I wandered
around When I became conscious
of things I MIINV a cloud coming
toward me
"I led bix other miners along the
passage to a point beneath the air
vent I had to walk across the
bodies of 20 workers before I could
reach it
"I counted at least eight other
bodies lying in the doorway of a
short hallway which crosses the
center of the long passage Sev-
eral had been decapitated
"Two of the 20 over which I
stumbled had been torn in two as
though ripped in opposite direc-
tions Others were so mutilated
could not recognize them I had
no chance to determine how many
of them there were as I was nearly
suffocated
Saved by Air Tent
"At the air vent we felt warm
air coming down My comrades
thought it was the after damp The
six left me
"I knew however that the Mt
was being pumped into the mine
and I stuck to the air vent Later
after an hour I climbed out"
It was estimated that 150 chil-
dren were made fatherless b e

NEW YORK—al') — Another

newspapers—and letters from Cu-

ban workers to their friends in
New York tell the story of this lat-
American crlu:-
tier president Gerardo Machado
ital lialbomero Durnenico treas-
urer of the railway union was
sliot dead on his doorstep as he
tried to enter his house at 8 o'clock
the evening of August 22
Inimenico was nationally known
in the Cuban labor movement and
well liked Ile leaves a wife and
four small children without sup-
port in their home at Cienfuegos
Seventeen workers were killed dur-
ing the railroad strike for their
part in it Papera printing ac-
counts of the fascist terroism
against the workers whether la-
bor or liberal papers are sup-
pressed and their edit or g impris-
oned The Education Ohrera is
the latest 'o be hit Manuel Lan-
drove secretary of the harbor
workers union and others have
been imprisoned for an article crit-
icizing the government
Two recent letters from Cuban
workers read:
"The finding of dead bodies Of ac-
tive union men is a daily occur-
rence both in the city anri in the
village
"The gunboat Maximo Gomez is
anchored in the Havana harbor and
is used as a floating Jail to hold
the arrested until the arrival of the
trans-Atlantic liners which will
take them away to unknown des-
tinations as deportees It is a well
known fact that some of these un-
fortunates are secretly thrown into
the water at night
'Hy order of the dictator Mach
ado all union men known to be
actlie are expelled from the coun-
try" "What happens here dear friend
is horrible Tay the daily press
and the police 'discovered' an
plot to assassinate Mach-
a(10 and Zayas Hazen and as a re-
suit of the 'discovery' union men
are jailed by the hundreds The
citizens are interned in the mili-
tary barracks while the foreigners
and some naturalized citizens are
deported or held on the war ships
for deportation of God knows what
"Two days ago an active union
man of the brotherhood of rail-
road workers was mortally wound-
ed In the dark as be was entering
his home at night Death is ex-
pected at any moment
"Since the disappearance of Lo-
pez (secretary Havana federation
of labor whose story was previous-
ly told by Federated Press) two
more active union men from Cama-
guey and one from Santi Spiritus
have disappeared their disappear-
ances being surrounded by the
sanie circumstances and mystery
as thst of Lopez
'The August It issue cf 'La Se-
mana' an independent paper was !
forbidden circulation and picked off
the newstands for the crime of pub-
lishing some cartoons condemning
the horrible executions of working
men Any one seen with a copy is
placed under arrest"
Sixty Canary Islands farm la-
borers were hung literally lynched
after the disappearance of a Cama-
guey army colonel hacienda owner
ho never paid his workers The
men were forced to sign a note say-
ing they were 'tired of living' and
were committing suicide
A grim filet that the Cuban work-
ers make much of is that president
litachado was a butcher until her
became president and has the mid-
dle finger of one hand miarriag as
result
