one of the big sensations this fall

one OF the Dig sensations lnlS Iall
HEISMAN has a mighty good look
ing tackle named Nance, who is
Orother-in-law of one Of the pro-
fessors at Tech. Nance hasn't played
much football for two years, but he
was a demon tackle as a schooiboy
when he attended the Denver tColoD
High School about three sea sons back.
He weighs fully 200 pounds and
must stand 6 feet > inches. He is
lightning fast for a big fellow. Just
al present he is not in top-notch CON
ditIOn and Hcisman is bringing him
out slowly and carefully.
II EISMAN believes in having his
L men well trained, Billy Muldoon
never put man through more severe
stunts than J. w. does his young
athletes.
A few Of the stunts are really
amusing. The 300 spectators who
witnessed them yesterday were forced
to smile aloud as some Of the lads
tried to follow Heis through his mo-
tons.
Say, you fellows over there on the
sidelines, yelled the coach, will have
to close up or We will take up a con-
tribution."
Yes Heis was in good mood yes
terday.
But what a merry time he will give
some OF those lazy candidates when
he has one Of his crabby days!

He made good in a jiffy, and as
player manager of the Roanoke
Tigers in the Virginia League this
season he succeeded in landing his
team in second place.
Now. he is being urged to manage
the Richmond Colts next season, and
it looks as If the doctor will fall for
the offer which was made to him
Saturday following the close of the
season. In fact, he has practically
said that if he can obtain his release
from the Roanoke hospital early next
spring he will undertake the job.
Roanoke is also anxious to secure his
services again, but it appears that
financial allurements in these parts
are more attractive
In addition to his managerial quail
tiles, Presley is a first baseman Of
no mean ability and is particularly
strong with the stick.
STEVE GRIFFIN, who has managed
~ Richmond the past two seasons
landing the club in third place on
both occasions, is slated for manager
of the Charleston, S. c., club next
year
DRESENT indications are that Par
son Perryman, who springs from
family of ball players down in
Georgia, will also wear a Colt uniform
next season. John MCGraw has re
linquished all claims on him, It il
understood. thus leaving PERUVIAN

appearance East in 10-round bout with
Young Ahearn, of Brooklyn. Although
Ahearn conceded seven pounds to his o1-

BELLINGHAM

Kate Sadler, OF Seattle. addressed
a street meeting here Saturday night.
The weather was bit cold, but there
were not less than 200 men and women
at any time during the hour and
half the meeting lasted, and the crowd
was kept interested till the close. At
the propaganda meeting Of the second
ward local Sunday afternoon Comrade
Sadler delivered the second lecture
of the state lyceum course on THE
War Of the Classes" Besides the two
meetings in Bellingham, the comrade
also spoke in Whatcom county as fol-
lows: Sumas, Echo Valley, Wicker
sham, Clipper, Ferndale, Anti-War and
Lynden.
There was an increased attendance
at the national lyceum last Friday
night, when N. A. Richardson spoke
on what is Socialism," This was the
second lecture of the course, and there
. is every indication that the capacity of
our hall will be filled to the limit when
Miss Twining speaks next Friday night
April 4. Perhaps a larger hall should
have been secured for these lectures,
but in the circumstances the local
committee did the best it could. It
is fine treat to hear all these national
speakers, and locals that happen to be
in the big towns are certainly FORUM
ate. Comrade Richardson, however,
calls attention to the vast amount of
literature placed in circulation by the
national lyceum course and considers
it the most important feature of the
party work. All socialists will agree
with him, and we could wish that the
lyceum might reach a thousand cities
in the future instead of $50, which I
believe is about the present number
At the close of the meeting the ushers
distributed bundles of papers receiv-
ed from socialist publishers, including
the Commonwealth, Social-Demokrate
| (Scandinavian) and Social-Democrati
Herald. 1t may be of interest to say
that all capitalist papers of this city
have printed the matter supplied by
our local press agent.
The national lyceum lecturers come
to Bellingham from Aberdeen, arriv-
ing here at 7:45 p. M, just few min
utes before they are required to speak
This is unfortunate, but owing to the
train schedule it cannot be remedied
However, we are hoping that none of
the meetings will be spoiled by late
train.
"The Glass Conflict will be the
subject of Luella Twining's lecture at
Odd Fellows hall Friday night, April
4, at S:15.

County Notes
Rogers Says coaatry Is at Mercy of
the Trusts.
YAKIMA COUNTY.

Bruce Rogers, socialistic lecturer
and one of the most active of the radi-
cal branch of the socialists, spoke at
the county courthouse last evening to
an audience that filled the chamber.
The socialists are conducting reg
ular lyceum course with six lecturers
They are travelling the state speaking
on regular circuit at intervals of six
weeks. Rogers is the second to appear
here, and will be followed in May by
another Tonight he speaks at Naches,
Tuesday at Springdale, Wednesday at
Grandview, Thursday at Sunnyside
and Friday at Toppenish.
Avoiding what is commonly termed
denunciation, he delivers violent ar
raignment of the present system Of
government and treats with contempt
and ridicule efforts of those whom he
terms as of the capitalistic class to ac-
complish anything for humanity.
''If the socialists ever erect monu-
ment to any man it will be to John D..
Rockefeller" says Mr. Rogers. Rock
efeller is the greatest organizer of in
dustry and eliminator of competition. ="
The speaker constantly urges his
hearers to read, to educate themselves
and seems confident that if he can
only get them to studying the situa-
ton and listening to the arguments
advanced by socialists they will heed
the warning and, before it is too late,
save this country and the world at
large from armed revolution against
despotism and the money power

SOME TRUTHS AND COM
MENTS.
BY w. ]. FOrtSOn.

The resources of the state of Wash
ington are second to none and they
will be delivered by labor and not
capital. Who ever heard of drone
bee making honey?
1t is not how much capital we can
get in our midst But how much of
labor product goes back to labor that
community depends upon for pros
perity.
Can you imagine the state of Wash
ington progressing if all were CAPT
talists and none were workers. Now
reverse the proposition.
The minimum wage bill and moth
ers' pension bill are working class
measures. But it is not reform we
want It's revolution. Smoke this in
your old clay pipe. You reformers!
Comrades and workers, let us unite
at the ballot box and put hobble
skirt on the capitalist system, and
take back the lavish resources of our
state and nation for all mankind.
If our local preacher will preach a
sermon from the text found in Genesis
3-19 or Leviticus 1924 and make it
stick, there will, l believe, be a great
influx of the workers into the church.

STATE COMMITTEEMAN DIES

State committeeman Henry G. Gar

1913.
Comrade Garletts was born in Spring
water, Oregon March 16, 1857. He
leaves a wife and nine children, the
youngest 13 years of age. He has been
an active socialist worker since the
organization of the party in this state.

spoke of him as zone who loved his
fellowmen" c. A. Waikle, Secy.

What the Workers Are Fighting
Against.

When the senatorial probe is over,
the world will know that conditions in
the Akron rubber factories outrival
the conditions which existed in the
Lawrence textile industries.
Girl rubber workers were obliged to
report going to the toilet and report
on going out of the toilet. The girls
lavatory in one factory contains "a
apartments, but only two girls are
permitted to go at a time. No matter
how sick girl is, she cannot go to
the toilet room if two girls are already
there.
Rubber bags that are spoiled after
leaving the girls hands are not paid
for but are sold for seconds, hence
the workers produce a lot of goods
for which they receive not one cent of
pay.
Workers died from acid burns. Girls
have hands so stiff from acids that
they can't put their fingers together
Time checks show that on piece
work many girls were able to earn
but A. so, rs and so cents a day.
When workers are taken sick in the
factory, they are taken to the factory
hospital where a nurse, not a doctor.
attends them.
Men report to a woman when they
go TO the toilet and come out, and if
there too long have TO tell her exactly
what they were doing
Men and women are discharged
when they spoke of organization in
the shops.

OF other cities when they did not need

Important developments concerning
the entire labor movement of Grays
Harbor evolved from a discussion by
the Hoquiam local of Single Weay-
ers, Sawmiu Workers and Woodsmen
of a jurisdietional line between Aber-
deem and Hoquiam. It was asserted
that an embarrassing situation would
shortly ensue If the matter of the jur-
isdictions OF the respective locals OF
these two cities be much longer de
layed. Men who. by reason Of their
proximity TO Hoquiam, should be en-
rolled there, were being enlisted in

WALLA WALLA.
Luella winnings Lecture,

Lucia iWlHlHH LGgAuTGs
Tuesday night at the Y. M. c. A.
Miss Luella Twining delivered her
lecture on "The Glass Conflict" She
told of the slums of New York and
London, especially the latter, where
thousands of people sleep in the open
air, having absolutely no place Of
shelter. Death by starvation is no
common that little or no notice is
taken of it. In vivid contrast with
these conditions Miss Twining told of
her efforts to find these "slums" in
Germany. In that country the social
lists and labor unions, which are prac-
tically the same organization, have
succeeded in abolishing the slums, and
made it possible for nearly every fam
lily to have some kind of home, and
every child get an education. Pow
erty has not been abolished, but con-
ditions have been improved so much
that emigration has practically ceased
from the German empire.-Garden

The Emnloyers, Desire.

In his official report on journey
through Canada, arranged by the
board of trade, the British trade COM
missioner recommends a law for the
prevention of strikes after the example
of Canada. In the Dominion there
has been since 1907 law for the in
vestigation of strikes. The principle
of this law is that all differences be-
tween employers and men must be
dealt with by representatives Of both
parties and the government before
stoppage of work. AS matter of
fact, their decision Is not binding on
either party. Any alteration in wages
and working conditions must be ad-
vised at least 80 days in advance. The
government is very content with the
working of the law as it prevents sud
den strikes. In the previous year the
British Trade Union congress rejected
a similar proposal But the employ
ers would like such an act in force.
