MIR. Lee Resents
A Pointed Question

| ~ OInICQ NuSStlOn
"You know that German money was
used by Trotzky and Lenine to over
throw the kerensky government" Mr.
Cuvillier shouted.
~ know nothing Of the sort, and as
that that statement is untrue" snapped
the witness.
I'VE cannot get two persons who
know two opposite facts to both agree,
protested Mr.. Stedman.
II am in position to know it is
the TRUTH" Cuvilier charged.
II have no doubt but what the COM
mitteeman may be sworn and testify as
witness. am not going to pursue
this with this Witness" said the So
cialist counsel.
I'VE also have the understanding
that we can prove this point from per-
sons who know the actual situation in
Russia"
If YOU can, then prove it," said
Cuvillier
"Oh, we'll, now. Mr.. Cuvillier," Mr..
Martin deprecated.
II am quite willing to know the COM
mltteeman's position" said Mr.. Sted-
man, with smile, because these men
who are strongest against you fight the
hardest for you when you convince
them"
Mr.. Lee then launched into descrip
ton of the growth of the intern ationale
and of the Socialist movement in vari-
GUS countries.
"Will you define bourgeoise ?" coun-
sci asked
The nearest equivalent or synonym
TO bourgeoise is capitalist class" the
witness said
New-York tribune., 1920-01-31
Louis NJ. Martin, chairman of the COM
m ttee, interrupted.
Block Silenced
BY Chairman Martin

Mr.. Block protested, but was finally
cut short by Mr.. Martin, who said:
proceed with the examination. This
is the end Of it."
"That is not the end Of it," Mr.. Block
contradicted.
ut is as far as this suit is con-
cernod. Proceed with the case" the
chair returned.
THAT is not ali. You wanted to hear
about the facts" counsel for the So
cialists vociferated.
"lf you do not want to hear all the
facts | do not mind. I understand Mr..
Cuvilieris question to be directed to
all the facts
The chairman's gavel banged and
Ny Block threw himself back into his
chair.
Under cross-examination by Mr.
Stedman it was brought out that a mo-
tion had been made to reopen the case
last July, but that this had been denied.
Nh Lee then was asked to describe
his participation in the activities of the
Socialist party He complied at length,
telling the Offices he had held in the
party. He said he had been delegate
to Socialist congresses at Amsterdam
in 1904 and Stuttgart in 1907. He had
been chosen to atteA1 the Vienna con-
gress in 1914, which was prevented by

"And the man that assassinated him
Is free to-day?" persisted Cuvilier.
Several Socialists were murde red
during the war" replied Mr.. Lee. "a

And he ought to be-" commented
Mr.. Cuv.llier

Stednan. had just returned. had he
not, from Belgium, where they were at
tempting to hold the nternationale to

class of Germany together and others

Workln- classes of every country?"
New-York tribune., 1920-01-31
Jaures Voiced
Opposition to War

yes" was the response.
Don't you know" demanded Mr.
CuvilIier that Jaures. through the
SOCIALIST manifesto, asked the con-
scrlpted soldiers of France not to 90
German invasion, August 7, 19l4?"
''Juares had been dead seven davs on
August :, 1914: Juares was shot on
the evening Of July 81" said Mr. Lee.
The question was asked" said Mr..
Stedman. "whether Jaures asked con-
scrlpted soldiers not to go to the rescue
OF France. There was man named
Bernard Shaw, who said that the SOL
dlers should shoot their officers and go
home, did he not >"
'Ile is still at large? ?"
"le is Socialist" asked Mr.. Con-
He is mcmncr OF the Socialist

Mr. Lee then won't on with his de-
scrlptloh OF the actions of the Socialist
party IN The warning countries.

man; can You state in a general way
the position Of the party upon the war

the rep y. from the beginning of the
war IN Europe advocated neutrality on

ties to urge the Socialist party Of the

through them the working classes of

opportunity it could to explain the

MIR. Conboy Tries
To Trap Witness

There is very great distinction
OF opposing and obstructing meas
urc, take it that is, you would
recognize it
For some time Mr. Conboy sttove to
trap the witness into an admission
mat the Socialist announced policy Of
mass movefncAts in opposition to con-
scriptlon,' contained in the partv
mamie sto Of 1917 did not mean com
blned Illegal resistance of the meas
urc Mr.. Lee continued to deny that
amy such significance would properly be
reaa INTO the manifesto.
Opposition to conscription, he said
means opposition TO the enactment OF
laws or opposition to the continuance
OF these laws, in other words, mass
acton to bring about by legal means
l'e rcpeal of such laws
N.Y. Conboy then contrasted the at.
t''ude Of the Socialist party in amer
lca toward the war with the position
,aten by the American Federation OF
Labor by reading into the record the
resolution adopted by the latter bod,
at me meeting Of its executive counci,
IN Washington March l2, 1917.

Proletariat Defined
AS Wagc.W Workers

will YOU define proletariat ?"
ny proietarlat we mean the wage
working Glass; was the answer.
DO you mean by that exclusively
manual workers? ?" queried Mr.. Sted-
man.
mo. sir. 1t has no reference to the
nature of the work." replied the Wit
ness. 1T has reference to- the persons
economic position i'll society," There
are persons who get their income by
owning means of production. produc-
tive wealth which other people opor-
ate, either as wage workers or as
tenants or lessecs. There are persons
VINO own the things with which they
work, aS, tor instance, the small work
ing farmer Or the self-employina-
artisan.
There is in all modern civilized
countries very large growing class
of persons who do not own the means
of employing themselves and who in
order to work and get a living, mus
sell their services. sell their labor
power whether it be in what we call
manual or what we call intellectual
work, any kind of work for wages
which are sometimes called salaries.
II have known OF people who were
proud of getting salary of Sl2 a
week, rather than wages of S20. 1t
is distinction only of words It is
that fact of having to sell ones serv-
ices IN the labor market that con-
sntutes one a wage worker or pro-
letariat."
DO you class any of the professions
with the proletariat?" asked Mr..
Martin.
"Within recent years, especially, a
good many professional workers arc
passing into the position of prole-
tarans," said Mr.. Lee
Yes, sir; that Is true of many
physicians, dentists, engineers, chem
lists. | believe it is even true in the
legal profession that there arc q CON
siderable number of lawyers who do
not establish an independent practice
but are employed for n wage"
lnternationale's View
OF the World War
Mr.. Stedman then took up with the
witness the attitude of the terna-
tionale toward the great war.
Mr. Zee also recounted the hostility
toward the conflict Of Socialists in Rus
sia. Serbia Italy and England. He SAID
that the Socialists of France, Germany
and Austria originally supported their
governments, but eventually developed
opposition to the continuation Of the
war.
Mr.. Lee" asked Asscmblyman Gu
viller, "Mr aures was the member of
the Socialist party in France who was
assassinated by patriotic man? ?'
He was assassinated on July 31,'
the witness answered.

again. the Socialist delegation was
solid in opposition.
SO were they also when the fna
bill offered as evidence, an act te
provide for paying members of the
National Guard who served without the
state in response to the call Of the
President, June 19, 1916.
The day, apart from the examination
of Mr.. Lee, was occupied chiefly with
the reading Of material into the
record.
Mr.. Lee occupied the stand most of
the morning, submitting to 'cross-ex-
animation by Seymour Stedman, coun-
sci for the five suspended Assembly,
men. This portion of his testimony
had to do chiefly with the general
question of socialism, its growth and
the manner in which it reacted to
the war in various countries.
Time and again during his testimony
the witness was assailed by Louis
Cuvillier, vice-chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee. 1t was Mr.. Cuvilier
who before the triul began expressed
tie opinion that tn, five Socialists, if
found guilty, should be shot So
violently did he attack Mr. Lees state
ments that more tnan once Chairman
Louis NJ. Martin was obliged to inter-
venc.
When Mr.. Stcdman surrendered the
witness, Martin Conboy. for the prose-
cution, began redirect examination.
Almost at once the question of the
elimination of the anti-sabotage plank
from the Socialist platform in 1917
cropped up again. Yesterday the
prosecution sought to bring out that
this elimination was in the nature of
a move to hamper the government in
its prosecution Of the war.
1t was pointed out yesterday that
the Socialist party had declared its
opposition to the conflict at the time
II eliminated the provision against
sabotage from its constitution. Coun-
sci for the committee at that time at
tempted to make Mr.. Lee admit that
the average party member would re-
gard the combination Of these two cir
as a hint to commit sa-
botagc.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-31
Socialists Not Urged
To Obstruct War

The same question was propounded
to Mr.. Lee again to-day. He denied
positively that his party had ;ny such
idea in mind when the plank was
stricken out.
"In the first place he said, Il may
say that | suppose very few party
members paid any attention to the
dropping of that clause out of the
constitution. do not believe it re-
I'D any particular publicity.
There was no occasion or it to do
So but if you ask me- as you do, what
would naturally be the effect what I
might expect to be an effect upon the
minds of the people in the outskirts, a 3
you put it, worNingmen more or less
sympathize with the Socialist party
but outside of the organization, people
whom we reach what would be the
effect on their minds. | would say if
we had asked them to obstruct the war.
then | suppose the conclusion would
be what you suggest.
"But we did not urge them to OBJ
struct the war. as both in the procla-
nation itself and in the newspaper ar
tcles and speeches made some of
these speeches myse;' upon the sub
ject-we made it very clear that we
were not urging anybody to obstruct
the war. to obstruct the making Of
'4'e.'ii -'iiHf vi al tllilIS tlSc VI tuIL
kind; bat that we were attempting to
influence the public mind to bring
about an opposition to the partcipa-
ton ard to the continued participation
of he United States in the war
My answer to that question is: No
sir the effect upon the minds of these
people would not have been what you
suggested"
but you say. Mr.. Lee,' persisted
Assemblyman Harrington, one Of the
committee, that you did not ask your
members to obstruct the war. but you
did ask them to use their opposition
against the war;
1--WE asked them" the witness re-
turned, ito oppose the policy of par
ticipation and continued rticpation
IN 'he war"
81 don't see the difference" the
Asscnbl blyman dcmurred
"Ihc difference is this. Assembly,
nl-n," replied Mr. Lee. g" oppose =

it is enacted | may oppose it and favor
is repeal, but that by no means is
the same thing as proceeding illegally
to manufacture whisky or to sell
whisky in violation of the prohibition
law, or try to induce other people to
do it, or ohstruct officers Of the law in
their search for liquor.
