Gently fled from the United States to
Russia, through a two-column inter-
view printed by the Pravoa, pictures
the United States as place where
potato fields, apple orchards, rice
plantations and other full crops are
deliberately allowed to rot because OF
"a capitalistic conspiracy to hold Up
prices and starve the working man
into submission.
America, says Haywood, is passing
through its greatest economic crisis,
due to ''the vast conspiracy OF a
group of capitalists against the
working class as whole
From all sides in America he
adds, ''one can be easily convinced
that the capitalists OF the United
States, who are the owners OF the
land and industrial undertakings, are
as ready to destroy the workmen Tor
their own benefit as to destroy ma
lures bounty"

the annual convention OF the associa-
ton which has just closed.
The doctors, who are circulating
petitions for referendum on the
medical college bill passed by the last
Legislature, which would require the
State Board OF Health to admit to cx-
animation graduates OF all medical
colleges irrespective OF whether they
were considered reputable by the
board, are displcascd with the Cover
nor because he signed the bill.
The Governor ) visit to st. Joseph
to inspect the State Hospital was on
one OF the days OF the convention.
He mingled with the doctors in the
lobby OF a hotel. Finally one who
is politically friendly to the Cover
nor suggested TO DR.. Ferguson the
invitation for the Governor to speak.
Il take this to be an inspired re-
quest. DIR. Ferguson replied. IF
such is the case you may inform the
Governor that if he wishes to adj
dress the organized medical profess
sion of this State he must first come
with open hands and the admission
that he has made a serious mistake
in signing a bill that definitely low
ers medical standards in Missouri.
Otherwise he will not be heard.
