WILL EXECUTE THEM
Two Yeggs Will Die in Elec-
trical Chair.
(American News Service)


Boston, Mass, March 4-Some time
during the coming week, probably at
an early hour Monday morning. the
grim old state prison in Charlestown
will be the scene of a double electro
cution, the second that has taken
place in Massachusetts since the elec-
trio chair was introduced in this
state. The prospective victims are
Andri Ipsen and Wassilli Ivankowski
two members of the desperate band of
Russian yeggmen that terrorized the
city of Lynn last summer. Ipsen and
Ivankowski were with a third bandit
known only by the name of Joe" who
took his own life when he was sur
rounded by the police shortly after he
and his companions had mercilessly
shot down and robbed Thomas A.
Landregan, wealthy shoe manufact-
urer. and James II. Carroll, patrol
and helping him carry the $4,000 re-
quired for the weekly payroll of the
shoe factory. Not only did the trio
shoot down Landregan and Carroll,
but they fired three bullets into the
formers body and ten into the lat
ter's body, most of them after their
victims had fallen mortally wounded
on the sidewalk. The shooting took
place in broad day within short dis
tance of the principal square of the
city. A posse of police and citizens
gave chase to the bandits and in the
encounter that followed one of the
trio was killed. Ipsen and Ivankowshi
were seriously wounded during the
hunt, but recovered and were tried
and convicted on charges of first de-
gree murder

Labor Needs No Tariff
First Socialist Speech Delivered
in Congress

want facts. am very glad of that,
because hope to convince you within

Now, gentlemen, I just ask yeu
kindly to overlook my Milwaukee ac-

NO Protection for the I.aborer
Some of the gentlemen here have re-
peated the old threadbare fall ICY that
the high tariff is to protect labor.
Now, I want it understood that there
is no such thing as protection to labor
in any tariff BILL want to say this in
the name of the many millions of en-
lightened Worlzingmen in this country,
and in all other civilized countries,
who think for themselves.
Moreover, gentlemen, you are not in
the habit of making laws for the pro-
lection of labor Applause on the
Democratic side.)
Your are continually making laws
for the protection Of life and property
for the protection of the lives Of
those who own the property, and for
the protection of the property they
own. You are continually making laws
for manufacturers, bankers, and mer-
chants.
But the workingman who has no
other property than his labor gets
scant protection, indeed.
In he wants to be protected, he must
commit crime; he must steal Or get
drunk and disturb the peace or become
"a tramp. Then the law gets hold Of
him and gives him protection. Then he
gets the protection of the jail or the
penitentiary.
As the long as he is well and decent
the law does not protect him. The high
tariff does not protect him.
Kernel of the Tariff Issue.
What is the philosophy Of the tariff
The history of the protective tariff
is the same in every country.
Agricultural countries substitute
manufacturers for the purpose Of erea-
ting industries.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1911-10-19

centuries England became the foremost
manufacturing country in the world.
Germany, which before had supplied
the world with manufactured goods,
had been thrown back in civ lizatiOn
and culture by the horrors Of the felig-
ious wars incident ia the Reformation.
f England bought the raw material of
the Werld and sold the manufactured
product. In order to build up indus
tries in their own countries the Euro
pean rulers tried to protect their man
afaetufers against the importation of
English goods by putting up high
tariff.
The history of the American tariff
is very much the same. The tariff
reaches back TO the days Of Alexander
Hamilton and is based ON the same
idea. 80.
1t simply meant substituting manu-
factufers SO as to build up Industries.
It meant that the Nation was paying
the manufacturer q bonus for investing
his money in manufa stirring
The result in every country has been
the same.
The high tarif at first stimulated
competition. Everybody who had any
money or any business talent went
into the manufacturing business.
That tendency, Of course, cut down
the profits. It eliminated in this
country about 1892, when one Of those
periodical crises which are part of our
industrial system set in.
The result was natural enOngh No

Widespread and intense interest was
aroused all over this country by the
first speech on the floor of Congress BY
Victor L. Berger, Of milwaukee,, the
arst Socialist- over seated IN the Con
awess Of the United States, which was
delivered w ednesday, june u, 1911 In
the House of Representatives Washing
ron, d. C.
The capitalist press Of the country
devoted a great deal of space to Berg
er s arguments, reporting that he made
a distinct impression upon his fellow
members of Congress, and that he was
frequently applauded.
The House being in committee of thc
whole to consider the condition of the
country, and having under considera-
tion the bill House of Representatives

and the manufacture of wool, Berger
spoke at length on the tariff question
from the working class point of view.
Mr.. Berger Is speech follows in full,
with the interruptions and questions
hurled at him from the floor of Con-
gress:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN: It is hardly nee
essary for me to explain how highly

There is probably no other legisIa-
tiyee body in the world in which there
are so many earnest, bright and inter
esting men. However, you interpret
things as you see them, and you see
them from the point of view of your
class the capitalist class.
The first question you materially ask
Of any new Member is, What is your
message?
Now, Mr.. Chairman, have a mes
sage to deliver from the most advanced
and intelligent section of the toiling
masses from millions of men and
women.
IF you Will bear with me in patience
for an hour / shall try to deliver a
part Of that message to the best of my.

The highly protected manufacturers

OPINION OF ATTORNEY GEN.
ERAL BlCKETT on THE ACr.

Raleigh, March 6.---Attorney-Gea-
eral T. w. Beckett was interviewed BY
the News and Observer Friday af-
sernoon concerning the antitrust bill
which on Friday passed the house with
the unanimous vote of the democratic
membership. Mr. Beckett said:
THE bill is one which no man who
Is engaged in legitimate business
can, In good conscience. oppose. Its
manifest purpose is to secure to the
people OF the state protection from
the cut-throat methods usually en-
ployed by trusts to destroy compete
ton and TO guarantee to every man
who desires to engage in any business
in North Carolina free field and a
fair fight so far as North Carolina is
concerned.
"Mr. burlington, the author OF the
bill, stated in his opening speech on
the floor of the house that he did not
claim that the bill would or could abb
soluteiy destroy any trust that does
large interstate business, and that
| is chartered by some state other than
North Carolina. But he commended
that while the arm of the state might
not be-sufficiently long to reach the
octupus in every part of the country
or the globe, that the state could and
should make 1t impossible for the
trust to exert any unfair or oppressive
methods within our borders. To this
end the bill makes it unlawful for:
Il. The trust to force the trade te
handle its goods to the exclusion o.
| the goods Of independent concerns.
20. For the trust to circulate re
ports tending to damage the character
or credit Of competitor.
IS. To undersell or overbuy tn,
market for the purpose OF injuring o.
destroying competition.
"A. To parcel out the territory o
the state for the purposes Of trade.
IS. To sell a. place where Their
is competition at lower rate thai
where there is none for the purpos
Of destroying competition.
&c. To conspire or agree to pu
down the price Of anything produces

labor of others. This section has Il
III all that anybody has ever sug
gested should go in 1t.
II. To issue coupons. prizes or re
bates of any kind.
