extricate socialism from the DONNA
ton Of the Berger politics. There are
numerous other points of difference.
The Left Wing is sympathetic toward
direct action, toward strikes and
toward a more vigorous policy for So
cialism all around. In the Left Wing
itself there is already split. minor
lty of this wing desires recognition OF
the I. W. w. and complete secession
from the Socialist to the Communist
party. The Communist party will, how
ever. hold a convention in Chicago next

undoubtedly be repeated but this time

The First Case

In the storm of other irritating
circumstances Dennis +. Bait, the
organizer Of the Communist party,
was arrested for a violation Of the
new Illinois sedltion law. It Is
alleged that a few days prior to his
arrest he made a revolutionary
speech in the West Side Auditorium
at Chicago.
This is first case. The legisla-
ton provides punishment for any
one advocating the reformation or
overthrow by violence or any othe
unlawful means Of the representa-.
tive form of government now Sc
cured to the citizens Of the United
States"
Bait made no resistance. He wi.
contest his case on the principle
that it is beyond the right Of tho
state TO pass and enforce measure
involving offences against the F.
eral government. Bait was prom

Sadler, |. f. Ferguson and Joh'
Reed in the withdrawal of the Le,

1.-The Left Wing explained Mr.. Fer
guson, its secretary, represents about
so per cent OF the Socialist party. The
executive council in power has man
aged to keep its place by throwing out
under one pretcxt or another such
states as voted against il. The ex-
ecutive council charges there was fraud
in the last May election, which de-
posed it and has held up the referen-
dunn. At this convention the Right
Wing will probably elect new ex-
ecut;ve council. This will result in re-
turning members from the Right Wing

Left Wing seems for the time out Of

between the Left and Right wings is

from his cockpit by his friends at
the landing field, exhausted from the
strain. Nothing could be less true.
The fiiers who finished the circuit
at Mineola were the calmest men
on the field when their planes had
come down. AS soon as they hit the
ground they would be surrounded
by crowd of race officials demand
ing their log books and records and
excitedly asking them how things
were getting on at the other control
stations. Also, in the first few days
of the race, when public interest
was high, they would be pounced

stretch his legs, reach for a cigarette
and calmly answer questions.
The most conspicuous marks OF
having passed through an ordeal
which were left upon the pilots were
the dust ground into their faces and
the grease on their flying suits.
Often, too, their eyes would be
slightly bloodshot and there would
be tiny witch Of their lips as they
talked, in spite Of their general
calm. These marks disappeared at

called the incompetence Of himself

"We're rotten" he told Lieuten-

him at Mineola. Eve had darn

Kindley was recommended to the

bravery in crashing to escape the

Then there was Lieutenant James

faded spray of goldenrod and five

cloth. He had as hard trip as any
Of them. Whe;s he was thirty miles
from Syracuse his exhaust pipe
broke off and flames from the un-

Organized labor of Phoenix is going to celebrate Labor day with good old fashioned picnic. sports program and outing. the feature Of which will be 10-round boxing bout between Frankie Malone of San Francisco and Lefty Lewis of Phoenix.
 A three card boxing program has been scheduled by the unions of this city as the feature of their celebrations The main event will be the ten- -round match announced above. Two four round matches have also been included, the opener to be between Young Hughes and Kid Confetti at 122 pounds and the semi-final between Charles Mueller and Kid Mendoza at 14o pounds.
 The Malone-L Lewis match is expected to prove an attraction worth going miles to see. Malone, ordinarily light weight, has agreed to meet the local artist at the lightweight limit, l3s pounds, ringside.
 Malone is heraldeo Tn San Francisco his home, as the next featherweigf1f champion of the United States. Ever now he is being groomed for match with Champion Johnny klibane- Among his recent victories is a decision over Willie Jackson, the boy who put Johnf ny Dundee to sleep in the first roune of a scheduled l0-round bout. To prove that his victory over Jackson was no fluke, Malone gave the easterner a return match and again emerged vict torious.
 The boxing program is being put oE by the labor unions to aid in defrayine expenses of the picnic and outing to be held Labor day Tickets for the match have already been placed on sale.
 We are taking this means of raising funds for our annual celebration rather than asking subscriptions from busi- ness firms. declared one of the labor men last evening. We believe we will give value received for these boxing tickets, as we are bringing together two high class boys"
