proof that it is good one, so they
have arranged to bundle us all off to
Jail. Comrade Anita Whitney, of our
s. L. G. was the first to be convicted
She managed to get out on bail.
Comrade John Weller was the next to
bs convicted in the wc1st kind Of
kangaroo court. Comrade Whitney was
convicted on one count and got from
cne to IA years but comrade Wicler
was convicted on four counts and got
Just q little JOLT of from one to
| fourteen on each count which the
law did not provide should run con-
currently 80 if amounts to only So
years. And while Comrade Weller sat
with two little boys in his arms and
another close by the judge handed
lin the 56 years without a blush it
s improbable that he will be admitted
10 bail pending an appeal.
Comrade James Dolsen, State Sec-
Treas. is now on trial and it is going
into its second week. lie is defending
himself and can assure you ne will
get away with it if any lawyer can
altho he has never studied law. They
are going to earn their money before
they put him over. With cool, placid
smile on his face he keeps them
snarling and barking continually. Hc
threw the court into fever when he
asked prospective juror if he would
convict him for advocating "lawful
terrorism" "What's that, what's
hat9" growled the prosecutor and judge
in the same breath. (The law provides
punishment for advocating UNLAW-
Full terorism). Anyway, it took the
Judge Is minutes to sustain the OBJ
jections.

are slated for the jute mill. My case
will be called tomorrow, the LIST but
will probably be put over till after

our forefathers and was "good enough

We got our knowledge of values and
economies from the same source in the
same manner. Everybody KNEW (O
that both capital and labor was neces'

and that capital gave labor opportuni'

growth Of capitalist industries was the

the rest Of the herd, some who were
not content with running in the same

to tell US as did Lincoln, "Labor was
prior to and antedated capital and was

tom; that the worker in effect paid
the capitalist employer for the
privilege of being allowed to work, but
these few were usually hooted down by
the mthinking mob, who always hoot
at any new idea just as certainly as

There are many "fricnds Of labor"

"the labor vote') who believe that
labor should not mix in politics and
above all should not "attack religion /"

holding religion to be private matter
and any discussion of it liable to be
means whereby the solidarity of
labor might be destroyed. In my
opinion these "friends Of labor" have
never analysed the plan, purpose or
function of religion. Those who have
analysed the plan. purpose and function
of religion have found it to be the
most efficient method whereby n
master class may keep slave class in

There is something inherently wrong

The Soldier and the Bonus

BY the time the picture in our week.

readers,-Congress may have passed a
Soldiers Bonus of some sort. But never.
theless it still presents the moral that
it was intended to convey.
1t will be readily recalled that when
the last loan was issued,-the 5th or
Victory they named 1.-THE public
was informed that at least one, and
perhaps two more might be required
to cover expenditures incident to the
war. No one outside the workings Of
the invisable government at Washing
ton could tell the reason for these
but as all know, they were never
issued.

wore the halo of patriotism! Many will
recall the maledictions brought down
