Spokane socialists are laughing
over something that happened to
O. Lund, formerly of Spokane and
father of Attorney Lund, up In
Canada recently. Mr.. Lund is a
capitalist and socialist combined.
Here is his experience as told by
an Edmonton paper:
That o. Lund, proprietor of the
Pioneer hotel in Sedgwick and
respected citizen nearly 70 years
of age, should have been turned
out of a local hotel at midnight
because he professed socialist con-
victions is surprising thing to all
citizens who believe they are bet
ter off here than in Russia, but
this actually did happen In Edmon-
ton, at the Windsor hotel.
The too enthusiastic gentlemen
responsible for this breach of COM
mon sense and law were immedi-
ately relieved Of all duties in con-
nection with his hotel by A. Yorke,
proprietor of the Windsor, Al
berta, and Yale hotels.
