George Hardy Back
From Europe.

Chicago.-George Hardy, general
secretary of the Industrial Workers
of the World, who has just returned
from six months visit to Europe,
where he attended the international
conference of industrial unions held
in Berlin Some months ago, in
report to the thirteenth annual con-
vention of his organization, just con-
cluded lat Chicago. recommends at
filiation with the Industrial Inter-
national and closer unity between the
!. w. w. and other revolutionary
labor groups of Latin-America. He
declares that no other organization
in the world has the same influence,
from revolutionary standpoint, as
the /. w. w.
Touching upon home issues he
urges greater efforts among the
colored workers of America and more
coordination between the various
parts Of the organization, from the
job branch to the general office. He
stresses the Importance of industrial
education and tke carrying on Of
industrial research to the greatest
possible extent, recommending, that
handbooks giving the facts on the
various industries be written.
Hardy was detained in German
jail for month, incommunicado, be-
cause he was without passports. He
finally arrived in Russia, where he
conferred with Lenin and active
unicn meli and visited factories. As
a result of his observations in the
Soviet republic Hardy reports, in
comparing conditions there with con-
ditions in this country, that those
who control the economic organiza-
tions will control the revolution.
He said he found that in Russia
there is group of workers wI,o
believe that the industrial unions are
capable of running the industries, ir-
respective of the government. The I.
w. w. secretary, however, states that
the Communists were in the majority
on most factory committees not

know little about factory manage.

Senator France Sails
For Russia.
May Have Important Bearing on
Future Trade Relations.

With a passport and State Depart
ment credentials in his pockets,
Senator Joseph I. France of Mary
land sailed for Russia May 25 via
England.
Senator France denied he repres-
ented any governmental department
or officials on his journey, but in
timated that the report he brings
back to the U. s. may have material
bearing upon this country's relations
with the Soviets.
"We are the only nation not trad
ing with Russia or seeking future
trade relations with her." he stated
before leaving. Gas far as one man
can, / propose to say my say for a
! different policy for an interchange
Of commodities and ideas. l hope
that the result of my trip will be a
better understanding Of Russia and
the European situation generally"
was another statement made.
Senator France expected to meet
the Russian trade commission head
ed by Leonid Krassin at London. He
will enter Russia either by the, Bal
tic route or from Berlin via Riga
or Reval.
Intimations that the Senator may
not be able to enter Russia in the
face of the Soviets' published decla-
ration that no Americans would be
admitted until Soviet Representative
is allowed here, did not appear to
cloud his anticipations.
"If they won't let me in, of course
that finishes my journey" he stated.
He seemd entirely confident however
that no obstacle would be placed in
his entry and journey to Moscow to
interview the heads of the Soviet
government and to get first hand
acquaintance of the workings Of
sovietism.
France has been most active in the
Senate in pushing the establishment
of trade relations between this coun,
try and Russia. He expects to be alb.
sent several weeks.

her black winter coat hanging on
the centerpole of the tent, under a
severed electric light wire. It was
riddled.

triumphantly. "But when we crawled
back here last night to get our

Silky blind rabbits, born during the
battle, snuggled in the sunshine out

on the bare hill had been moved
down--the miners cows, and even
their rose bushes. But now, after
five days unwonted silence, the
ground-hogs were venturing out Of
their holes, and the children were
perching again on the fenceposts,

George Tindsley and his wife were
tired. For a solid week before the
three-day battle they hadn't had their
clothes off because of the night
shooting. The chimney and the kitch-
en- range had been considered safe
places to crouch, until shots from
highpowered rifles had sent bricks
tumbling from the chimney. Then
they and five small children and
grandchildren had spent the nights
| in their cellar until they found II
insecure. After that it was "over the
hill."'

Eight days before the baby had
been snatched from that bed and
carried to safety with her brothers

highpowered rifles and machine guns,
falling almost as thick as the heavy

'Liberator' to Have
2-nd Class Rates.
Communist Magazine Gets Fav-
orable p. o. Ruling. Will
Receive Refund.

The Liberator, Communist monthly
magazine, edited by Max Eastman,
and to which the late John Reed was
contributor, has had its second
class mail privileges restored.
Based solely upon the rule that
any publication acceptable for mail
ing thru the United States Postoffice
is entitled to the privilege of the
special rates for its class, Postmaster
General Will H. Hays granted the
application of the Liberator for ad-
mission to second -class mails on May
|25.
The ruling is looked upon as an
important one in respect to the post
office censorship of the public press
Inasmuch as a number of radical and
socialist magazines and papers were
deprived of second-class rates while
being allowed to pass thru the mails
as mailable matter under the Wilson
Burleson- Palmer administration, the
new Hays ruling comes as a vel
come rift in the clouds of officia
suppression of public expression.
The Liberator (then named The
Masses) was barred from the second
class rates Nov. 2, 1917 when Judge
Rogers upheld decision of th'
