"On the contrary, the acute situation

Socialist Manifesto
Against War Is Dead

When questioning of the witness be
gan as to the purpose OF the elimina-
ton OF this clause, which provided for
the expulsion from the Socialist party
OF any member attempting sabotage,
Mr.. Stedman interrupted:
Il will read something that will clear
that up little later" he said, that
is eliminated because it was dead

one ,-lre was strong in the party, was
eliminated =" that it was no longer

A little earlier the Socialist mani
testo against the war adopted at
the St. Louis convention had been read
nto the record This pronounced
american participation "a crime against
he people Of the United States" and
asserted in the bargain: "ln all modern
history there has been no war more un-
Justitable than the war in which we
are about to engage
The Socialist manifesto of 1917 also
declared the opposition Of the party
TO the war; to military or industrial

of any sort and to military training
and teachings in the public schools.

The revolution is under way; that it
would come mucn sooner than l had
expected it. said that did not be-
lieve in that kind of doctrine, and we
got into discussion about the Sunday
school classes that the Socialists were
conducting in Brownsville"
AS soon as direct examination had
concluded, Mr.. Stedman pounced on the
witness and went at him hammer and
tong5. At times the colloquy grew so
pungent that the Assembly Chamber
was filled with laughter, and Chairman
Martin thumped unavailingly for order.
Wasserman became considerably tan
g.ed on what he knew about socialism,
but he stuck to his story of what the
suspended Assemblymen had said to
him He admitted openly that he was
hostile to the Socialist party, and made
no homes about saying that he believed
they we're plotting the overthrow of the
government by force.
Earlier in the day Stedman and Suth-
erand became embroiled in the most
violent quarrel that has occurred since
Morris Hillquit withdrew temporarily
from the case.
This Was during the direct examina-
.ion Of Algernon Lee. Mr.. Sutherland
evidently resented the objections shot
counsel for the Socialists. When he
offered in evidence the record of the
conviction OF the American Socialist
Society for q violation of the espionage
act, Mr.. Stedman objected again.
II am objecting," he said, "for the
reason that the case is pending on
appeal and it is incompetent to offer
any record of a court showing an
adjudication of an undetermined pro-
ceedng as any lawyer knows"

Sutherland snapped,

proceeded

A Blow at Haywood

He then brought out, by questioning
Mr.. Lee, that the anti abotage plank
had been adopted originally because
William Haywood. OF /. W. W. motor
iety, had recently been preaching his
gospel within the Socialist party and
had made many converts to his
doctrine
will you proceed to state just ex-
actly why it was dropped?" Mr. Sted-
man then asked
1T was dropped the witness re-
piled, because between 1912 and 1917
II had ceased to be an issue within
the party because those who had con-
sidered sabotage as an efficient method
of working class action had been elm
mated or eliminated themselves, from
the Socialist party.
In the discussion of the party
platform and in the convention Of
1917 it was generally agreed, l be-
any occasion to be in the constitution"
"Nr. Lee asked Chairman Martin,
IS that your opinion as to the reason
fer striking this out ?"
That is my opinion" the witness re-
tarned, gained from listening to and
participating in the discussions Of the
convention"
Was Mn Haywood in the party at
.hat time?" Mr.. Stedman asked
"Not at that time," was the answer;
he was already out of the party"
Late in the afternoon. after Wasser-
man had given his testimony as to
what he had heard Claessens and Solo
mon say. Mr.. Sutherland returned to
Mr. Lee and the sabotage plank ques
ton For fifteen minutes he shot
question after question at the witness,
trying to break him down to an admis-
sion that the plank had been eliminated
to hinder Americas war preparations.
Sabotage Plank Dropped
After We Entered War
"You say" he asked, that the rea-
son the plank was dropped from the
platform was because it was a dead
letter."
Because it was no longer an ISSUE"
