He quotes as the most direct lnforma- ton a dispatch from Russian trade lnion- ists to w. A. Appleton, president of the international Federation of Trade Unions, which declares that bolshevists have split up the reserve funds of trade unions, throttled the labor press, killed labor organizations, split up trade unions as a class and put down strikes by force or arms and plentiful executions.

 lie quotes the amendment to the federal constitution and adds.
 That concept and the spirit of thal amendment have been entirely reversed by the constitution of bolshevist Russia which provides for and enforces compul- sory labor The plea to withhold judgment is a last desperate attempt te win favor from the American people fol a system of government which by the confession of it's own advocates and de lenders is foreign to every concept of the American republic, We know about Rus sia.

HAVE SUFFICIENT DATA

"All the information necessary to the passing of judgment on bolsheVlsm ana the system of government and as state of society is at hand from sources that are authentic The plea of those mis- guided persons in America who say walt for facts before passing judgment IS nothing more than an excuse which IL IS hoped will gain time for the Russian e&- pertinent and enable it to spread to other countries"
 Quoting from the new bolshevist con stitution, MT. Gompers points out that while the fifth Pan-Russian congress de- clares for dictatorship of the prole- tariat and the poorest peasantry, great portion of the beasantry is disfrancnlseo and the largest bolshevist estimate ol the
 profetariat calculates them as only one-
 fifth of the number of peasants. Even fairly prosperous workingman, by thls calculation, Mir Gompers says, IS not a
 proletarian.
 Bolshevist statistics, he says, show that the bolshevist minority does not even represent the masses of factory workers in Moscow, the bolshevst stronghold. Quoting from bolshevist official doeu- ments to show the extent of massed ter 1 TOT by the bolsheviki MT Gompers de- l clares that the economic condition n in ternal Russia at the preesnt time has ao- solutely nothing to do with the merits or demerits of the bolshevist philosophy ol l goyernment" and adds that it shoulu i have no influence in determining tne judgment of any person upon 1t as sucn.
