Of their remarks, the strikers have
been remarkably orderly. In fact, both
sides have taken great pains to avoid
provocation to violence. Each side ac-
cuses the other of intimidation, and
each goes armed, but except for a few
fist fights and some very mild rioting
there has been no trouble, though
plenty of threats.
For some time there was grave doubt

they have learned that lesson, too.

~ he second victory over Bolshe-
vism in America can be
marked up. First Seattle;
now Winnipeg. There was
really another victory at Toronto, but
that was only a skirmish.
The Red leaders made Winnipeg q
complete demonstration of just what
united labor can do. Winnipeg citi-
.ers made it an equally complete de-
monstration Of what it cannot do.
The Reds made their attack with
every Advantage and scored every in
;t;al success. They had labor solid
behind them and practically every man
ual worker in the city walked out on
the leaders demand, including the bulk
Of the civil employees. Business and
PRODUCTION stopped. The city was cut
~ from the world There was no fire
protection, no street cleaning nor gar
hsee collection, no store deliveries, al
most no restaurants, no mail, no tele-
phone, no telegraph. no newspapers.
Bread and milk went only to the strik-
ers. The police served strike no.
sice, but stayed on their posts at the
strikers orders.
It was mplete-there was no gov
.rnment. On May Is, the third day
Of the strike, the Rev. William Ivens,
pastor of the Labor Church" leader
on the strike committee and editor of
the strikers paper, declared:
winnipeg is now governed by the
soviet. The seat of government has
been transferred from the city hall to
the labor temple"

H0,C 1t Began

The history of the Winnipeg strike
begins even before the Seattle Bolshe-
vlk tiasco, when a considerable num-
Der of agitators appeared, mostly from
Britain, and began talking Bolshevik
ideas. Following the Seattle failure
there was a general slump in radical
confidence, and a convention was held
at Calgary early in March to take
measures to check this. Among the
leading lights at this convention were
Il. II. Johns and R. B. Russell, George
Armstrong, Mrs. Helen Armstrong and
Andrew Scoble, all of whom are active
leaders in the Winnipeg fight.
This convention asked all unions in
Canada to break away from the inter
national crafts unions, join the One
Big Union which could take mass ac-
tlon,' as in Winnipeg, in any case that
arose, the ultimate aim being prole-
tarlan dictatorship and control of ali
resources, industries and means of pro-
duction." 1t also passed resolutions
favorlng general strikes to release
political prisoners, definitely specifying
those who had been "actively working
! tor the German government in this
country" demanded the establishment
OF a soviet government and proletarian
dictatorship, and sent fraternal greet
lngs to the Bolsheviki and Sparta
cans. Plans were laid for general
strike on July 4.
1t was at this convention that Wi,-
Nipes was selected for the first demon
stratlon OF a general strike, to re-
hearten the people discouraged by
Seattle, and to serve as rallyinp is
sue There were several reasons for
the choice of this particular city. In
the first place, the civil service unions
had already shown that they were will
ing to join 4 sympathetic strike. In
the second. there was large element
OF foreigners, chiefly Austrians-there
are ~ 900 registered aliens out of the
100000 IN the city. These men could
not be used politically, but could help
IN strike. There are FIVE labor mem
oers out of the fourteen in the City
Council and the Mayor is known for his
sympathy with labor. Finally, Winni-
peg was as far east as the reds could
have any hope of success, and the plan
was to spread the movement, bv
means of sympathetic strikes, first
westward to the coast, then eastward.
and finally, when all Canada was in
volved. south into the States
New-York tribune., 1919-06-22
Its Completeness

All but the last of these moves have
been attempted. Sympathetic strikes
have been called, based on the Winni-
peg situation, in many of the cities
between here and the coast. but none
has been SO complete as here. and
many cities have refused to 90 out
The attempt to go east was blocked
when the old line labor leaders beat
the sympathetic strike move in Toronto.
There have been two attempts to
make the strike an all Dominion affair.
First, in Toronto, a resolution was in
troduced thas no union on strike there
should go back until all the demands
of all unions in the country had been
satisfied. This was beaten. Second
was the plan to turn control of the
Winnipeg strike over to a committee
which was to represent radical labor
of the entire Dominion. This failed
from internal jealousies among the
strike leaders.

MOISTURE THIS FALL
WOULD COMBAT SMUT

Unless Cmatilla county has enough
rain and frost during the coming fan
to kill the smut spores that have
sperad from wheat fields to summer
fallcw. the smut situation next year
will be more serious than at present,
according to Fred Bennion, county
agent A dry fall. according to Mr..
Bennion, would materially increase
the spread Of the smut. while mois-
ture would aid in fighting the smut.
To aid in combating the menace
to the grain fields of this county. j.
T. Bregger. of q. A. c., is here to OBJ
tain samples from various parts of
Unlatilla county. which will be tested
at the college to discover If this coun-
~ has more than one variety of the
grain smut. So far but one variety
has been found in this re-
g.on, but as the Willamette
valley has two, it is thought
that the second variety may have
spread to eastern oregon. Mr.. Breg-
ger will investigate the smut traps
here.
Mr.. Bennion reports that farmers
in the Myrick, Nolin and Athena dis
trictss say that the harvest is better
than last year. Last years crop was
estimated at from so to 20 per cent.
while the yield is thought to be so
per cent this harvest.
