tion with the $3,0O0,O0O expert fee

William H Stuart pleased thousands
of Chicagoans by the noble, generous
and truthful tribute which he paid to
the late Robert e. Burke in the col
umns of the Chicago American, over
which he presides, last Wednesday.
The article was just vindication of
an honest, patriotic and able man. If
there were more writer's of the force
and ability of Mr.. Stuart on the daily
press it's power would not be waning
and men who, like Bob" Burke, who
committed no other offense than that
of dying poor would be honored by
the world instead of being forgotten
or misjudged.

The work of organizing has been 60

and TrOtZky became all powerful IN
the Russias, which are now feeling the
scourge of their dictatorship. With
in the last 80 days the work has been
augmented by the unity obtained fol-
lowing a Joint convention between the
United Communist party and the Com
munist Party of America, which nave
ironed out their differences and united
under the common banner of giving

Met ain the Woods"
The convention was held, according
70 their own documents, ''in the
woods" The confidential informant
knows where the woods" are in New
York state. The convention was held
secretly because of the prosecutions
which followed the open conventions
held in Chicago two years ago. Will
liam Bross Lloyd and 10 others were
convicted of seditiOn.
At the convention in the "woods"
the United Communist party reported
a membership of 5,927, organized in
| III underground groups, three OF
which are in Canada. The Communist
Party of America reported 6,328 men,
| bers. In the treasury of the former or
ganization was S9O29.65; in the latter
organization was S1O,420.40. Since
February. 1921. 2,1S3,OOO leaflets in
English 1O4, 900 copies of IL different
books and 61OO0 copies of nine
pamphlets were distributed by the
| Communist party, and the declaration
was made at the convention that 10
newspapers printed in seven languages
| and having joint circulation of about
100000 copies each month are con-
trolled by the party.
Even though the report of the con-
ventiOn proclaims the utmost frater-
nalism. two factions, using the words
of the report, 'were not quite prepared
to trust the impartiality of the other
and as a result two 'impartiaP' mem
bers were chosen instead of one to
make up the personnel of the central
executive committee, the controlling
| group in the party.

Wise, of the China Mail Steam ship liner China, is attempting to in duce the United States government to accept as true the old copy-book exercises, Honesty is the best pol icV" and Virtue is it's own reward it was revealed here when the China stopped on her latest voyage long enough for Captain Wise to make certain affidavits to support his co.'- tention that the government should realize the truth of the sentences.
 Captain Wise is asking that fines levied on the vessels last trip from the Far East be remitted As tEe China was entering this port that voyage " ships officers noticed a sampan ho1ering in the offing, ap- parently signalling to some person aboard the China. The officers iil- vestigated and found a package of opium estimated to be worth $10,000. The package was wrapped in water tight covering and was dangling at the end of rope, apparently intend
 
 ed to be picked up by the sampan.
 The ships officers seized the pa 'k- age and turned it over to government officials when the China. docked The viligance and action of Captain Wise and the officers was praised highly at the time by Acting Collec. tor of the Port O'Neil. The com mandatory words, however. did net deter other officials from fining the China several hundred dollars, be- cause the opium was not listed on the vessels manifest.
 These fines Captain Wise is at- tempting to have remitted. pointing out that the ships officers frustrat ed the smuggling plot, and that tie seizure was entered on the vessels log immediately after it was ac- complished.
