District Attorney Woolwine Il
Candidate for Democrat
Nomination for Governor
NO STRONG CANDIDATE
YET OPPOSES JOHNSON
Republican Choice for Cover

Hard-Fought Campaign il.
BV M. D. Tracy

San Francisco, June 14-Thomas
Lee Woolwinc. militant district at
torney of Los Angeles, has thrown
the first dash of pepper into Califor-
MAS political pot,
His announcement that he would
become candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination for governor at the
primaries still more than two months
away, put little edge on the here
toforc flat mixture which the pot
contained.
Senator Hiram johnson was the
first expected to form a storm CEN
ter in the primary campaign, but
weeks have gone by and one after
another the available men to oppose
Johnson have decided they did not
care to run against him for Repub-
lican senatorial honors.
At this time it would look as il
the primaries would be little more
interesting than a curtain raiser at
a four-round boxing show and that
California must look to the general
election in November for its excite
ment.
Woolwine's announcement that he
would seek the Democratic, nomina-
ton for governor, followed announ-
cement by former u. s. Senator
James D. Phelan that he would not
run for the govcrnorship. This left
Woolwine as the dominating figure
in the Democratic ranks.

ination include Friend William Rich

TEN MEMBERS of Nv, W.
GO TO TRIAL ON COAST
Case Expected to Establish
Whether Membership Can Be
"Criminal Syndicalism'
(By United Press)


Sacramento, Calf, June a.
Ten men went to trial here today on
charges of terminal syndicalism" in
case which is expected to establish
legally whether membership in the
I. w. w., is sufficient grounds for
criminal prosecution. Widespread
prosecutions, it was believed, would
follow any conviction in this case.
All ten were witnesses two months
ago in the trial of j. A. Casdorf and
Earl frey, tried for "criminal syn
dicalism" here, and convicted.
The men were called by the de-
tense to give expert testimony as to
the character Of the I. w. w. organi-
cation.
"Are you member of the I. w.
W." each witness was asked by the
state and each replied affirmatively.
Whereupon arrests on charge of
terminal syndicalism" was made i'm
mediately as each witness left the
stand.
Witnesses called to give expert
testimony who answered that they
were not I. W. w. members were
disqualified and not permitted to tes-
tify, on the grounds that they could
not be experts upon the character of
the organization if they were not
members.
The California criminal syndi-
calism" law was passed during the
war and imposes maximum of ten
years in prison as a penalty for any
statement or action contrary to the
established order of society. Its
constitutionality has been upheld by
the California courts.
While the majority of the prose-
cutions under the law have hinged
upon l. W. W., Membership, these
cases stand out as the first large
prosecutions in which I. w. w. men,
bership alone has been an issue.
The ten men on trial are C. B.
Laruc, Pete Beazlcy, J. O'Mara, W.
Rutherford, j. r. Nash, Tom Zangcr,
B. Kyler, Walter Smith, H. M. Ed
wards and Andrew Anderson.

STOLEN LIBERTY BONDS
TRACED TO TWIN CITIES
(By United Press)


St. Paul, June 14-Nearly $1,000
900 worth of liberty bonds and other
securities stolen in New York, Chi
cago and Philadelphia have been
traced to the Twin Cities, postoffice
inspectors told the United Press to-
day. Probably $75o,ooo of these
bonds have been sold either through
unsuspecting bank clerks or accomp-
Ices of the bank thieves.
Warrants have been issued for 26
men, including bank clerks and bond
statesmen in St. Paul, and only two
had been arrested at an early hour
today. The four "big men" sought
in connection with the bond theft had
disappeared when federal agents or
dered the roundup early today.
According to J. W. Marles, post
office inspector in charge Of this dis
trict, Investigations during the last
three weeks revealed that a number
of bank clerks were cooperating IN
the scheme to dispose of the stolen
bonds here, Bankers and trust COM
panies, as we'll as bond brokers, are
said to have been victimized by the
flood of stolen securities. Scores OF
small and large depositors in the bank
are believed to have purchased bonds
at reduced prices.

War and Other Sports En-
joyed; Eats Are Feature l.

Bright and early Monday mornii
to be exact June 5, 1922-twenA,
husky members Of the B. A. C. Club
met on the corner by the Presbyterian
church with packs and kits of all
descriptions to load up for the an
nual weeks outing trip. Trucks
kept coming and unloading provis-
ions until it looked like all the stores
of Bemidji had been sold out for
the special benefit Of the boys; and
the boys. were there to see the eats
pile up, and to speculate on just
how they were going to taste. c. w.
Vandersluis, with his big truck, fin.
ally came and all the camp outfits
and provisions were loaded; and with
seven boys top Of the load to
lend ballast, they started off for
>1tasca Park camping grounds. Auto
mobiles loaded with boys followed,
and all the encampment arrived at
the annual camping spot at 10 o'clock,
where under the supervision Of H. A.
Pflughoeft, Louis Neumann, D. S.
Mitchell, Mr.. Vandersluis and Rev.
L. P. Warford, camp was set up.
1t was difficult and strenuous task
which occupied the bunch until noon;
but by that time all, obstacles were
overcome, and a nice row Of tents:
were visible ,ron the high bank Of
Lake Itasca overlooking the source
of the Mississippi as it issues forth
from the lake. i
The first day was surely real
day in the history Of camping, The
camp cook, Louis Neumann, certainly
lived up to expectations, and manag-
ed to fill 20 bottomless pits. After
dinner all hands went down to the
. "Old Swimming Hole" and mingled
with the turtles and the frogs. Lat
er in the afternoon a great champion
ship baseball game took place be-
tween the Swell Fronts and the Back
Alley gang. Louis Neumann, Mr.
Pfleughoeft, Merton Denley, Francis
Rhea, John Smith and Winthrop
Batchelder starred. The game was
finally won by the Back Alley gang.
The umpires were D.rS. Mitchell and
Rev. Warford, and it certainly taxed
both umpires to keep the bunch
straight. Supper came at last. The.
wood choppers were set to work get
ting the fires ready, and the H. P's
were set to work under the direction
of Louis Neumann. Soon the odor
of bacon and eggs, fried potatoes
and coffee filled the air and asted up
on the ever-growing appetites. Al
ter supper the beds were arranged
and the smudges built, and the
watches set for the night. In addi-
ton to patrol duty the watches were
instructed to keep the camp-fires
going all night, and to particularly
watch the provisions so as to insure
against the invasion of the many lit
tie wild animals which infested the
district, and seemed particularly hun
cry. The night proved wonderful
" restful and quiet one for the first
night. The watches, Angus Wander

LACkoF N0URISHMENJ
. CAUSES Dull CHILDREN

!: Children are. delinquent and back
ward in their school studies because
:of improper nourishme1ft, is the opin-
ion of a member Of the. Anne ricam
Social Hygiene, Association, who at
tended the annual prison conference
recently held In Jacksonville Fla.
Such children are easily discouraged
and acknowledgements most fertile
soil for the growth of anti-social
conduct. This hygienist agrees that
labor is right in it's VIGOROUS protest
against child labor. and holds with
4 the trade union movement that the
child should be kept at school until
at least 16 years of age, and be given
a chance to enter upon the battle
Of life properly equipped with a
sound, body. and active brain and
a sensible education.
Strong men and women arereared
from well-fed, properly nourished
children-children who live an act
ual child life free from the travail
'of proverty and@the necessity of sup
porting themselves. by going to work
at tender age in factory shop or
mine. Boys and girls,'' says, this
trained observer o. social conditions,
must have more wholesome, direct
play. and must: be semoved from de-
pressing environment. Children so
reared develop strong, character
self-reliance and initiative" These
are the qualities which make a ma
ton great and no prospect of profit
from exploiting child labor should be
permitted to outweigh the enormous
benefits that shall. accrue to society
through the proper protection of its
children. -

T WASHINGTON open shop
may be q. good thing or a bad thing.
All depends upon the kind Of open
shop one has in mind. -,
According to the ordinary defini-
ton the open shop is an estab-
i:lishment, in which employees may
belong to a union or remain outside
1t without any sort of coercion from
either the employer or the union.
For purely abstract purposes this
definition may suffice. For prac-
teal purposes it is worse than worth
less. It is positively and disastrously
misleading.
Following are two practical def
nlt1ons of the open shop. The first
IS this: An open shop is an es-
Establishment in which men are not
coerced either to enter or to leave
the union, but in which the en-
p1oyer deals with the union as rep
~resenting those Of his employees who
comprise it's membership.
In this arrangement, the employer
does not put pressure upon his non
union employees to join the organi-
cation, while the union strives to
methods: Of persuasion.
This is the kind of open shop
sanctioned and enforced by the Ma
"tional War Labor Board during the
war;,
" -. Lose All Gains.
Here is the second practical def
milton: The open shop is an. estab-
Hshment in which no pressure is
put on employees to leave. or enter
the union. but in which the employ
er refuses to deal with the union
or its: authorized representatives. .
, If the: employer comedies collec-
tive bargaining to any group Of his
employees, j.. he negotiates with them
