in Moscow, to set up demonstration
farm in the Volga valley. They are
sent by the Friends Of Soviet Russia.
Seven are here already, under the
leadership Of Charles Heck, organizer
Of the Nonpaftisan league. Four more
are between Moscow and the frontier,
under the leadership of Harold Ware,
professor Of agriculture; they are
bringing the freight, which consists Of
foodstuffs, and Fl large tractors.
The ! are not all farmers. They
include machinist, special repre-
sentative of the tractor company and
a professor of agriculture. But the
rest are the kind that have made North
Dakota famous.
| talked to c. E. Milling, familiarIy
known as Mickey Milling. He is stay
ing at the Lux, the hotel reserved for
foreigners who come here to do special
stunts that the government specially
endorses. He told me they all liked
Russia as far as they had gone, and
were being shown the sightspin good
shape.
I'VE are to get about 10000 acres
in the Volga valley" he said, and cur
tractors are going to work "a hours a
day. We hope to get students from the
commisseriat for agriculture to work
with us, thus producing food and learn
ing scientific agriculture at one and the
same time. We expect to combine
large-scale production with education. .

IMPARTIAL JUSTICE?
by The Federated Pressl

Philadelphia. Because the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Of America
is not incorporated it is "un-American'
and not entitled to any status before
the law, in the opinion Of Judge Rog-
ers, who has granted permanent IN
junction against the local A. c. w.
body, restraining its members from in
terfering with the employees of the A.
|B. Kirschbaum Clothing Co. Judge
Rogers. after delivering pompous or
alton against the methods and purposes
of the Amalgamated. ordered the seiz-
ure of all records and books of the To-
cal. The material seized was return
ed. however, the next day. Then he
announced from the bench that he In
tended to break up the Amalgamated
and drive it from the country.
This organization is not incorporat-
ed and should have no legal recogni-
ton" he declared. 1T should be driv-
en- out of existence as menace to the
nation.
Thereupon William A. Gray. attor-
ney for the A. c. w., demanded that
the court make public retraction for
having declared that Lazarus Marco
Wiz had lied in declaring hirnself to be
la naturaIized citizen. Gray produced
Marcovitz' naturalization papers in
court.
"The court will not make any re-
traction, " stormed Rogers. The court
knows all about this man" Then the
court demonstrated its Americanism by
reading from the bench part Of the pre-
amble of the old constitution of the A.
c. w., after which he refused to adj
NIT in evidence copy of the revised
constitution recently adopted by ref
erendum vote of the membership Of the
union.
As result Of the present strike of
PhiIadaIphia's clothing workers, the
Philadelphia membership of the Anal
gamated has increased from about A.
900 to 5000. Thousands of members
having settled with their employers,
have returned to work, important shops
have been unionized, wages increased
and irresponsible subcontractors driven
from the industry.

(By The Federated Press)

New York. - Charge made in the
Jewish Daily Forward Of this city, in
sinuating that funds collected for the
Friends of Soviet Russia for famine re-
lief have been used for propaganda
purposes, must be proved or retracted,
or the Forward will have to bear the
consequences, according to A. B. Mar

Wet Russia. Martin, in statement ex-
pIicitIy denying the insinuaticns Of the
Forward" and its editor, Abraham Ca
han, calls attention to the fact that
Cahan has stated he cannot prove his
charges, and declares it is highest
time that an end be put to statements
whose purpose it is to create distrust
and disrupt constructive work.

50 gross, SO false" says the statement,
that some other motive than interest
and soIicitude for the starving in Rus
sla is behind them. 1t asserts that a
Forward reporter who interviewed
DR.. Jacob W. Hartman, treasurer of
the Friends. distorted facts given him
in the interview; that he failed to con-
suit the chartered public accountant
who audited the latest financial state
ment of the Friends, and that the For
ward deliberately lied' when it stat
ed that. only small part of the money
sent to Russia is definitely reported,
namely 100000 in food and $4,000
in cash" Every penny Of the $4l 900
is accounted for, it declares.
The demand for retraction, with
the implied alternative Of a damage
suit, is made.

JUDICIAL RoTTENNESS
(By The Federated Press)

San Francisco. Stone by stone
the edifice Of lies reared against Moon
ey and Billings has crumbled under its
own rottenness. One of the last stones
has just fallen. Mrs. Carrie MacNe-
vim, suing her husband, William v.
Mac Nevin, for divorce, gave it the
blow that toppled it.
Mac Nevin was foreman Of the jury
that convicted Tom Mooney. In fight
ing his wife's divorce suit he has gone
before the county grand jury. of which
He is member, asking them to indict
her on charges preferred by him.
In retaliation. Mrs. Mac Nevin has
filed I0-page affidavit in which she
claims that during the Mooney trial her
husband had frequent conferences in
their home with Edward Cunha, at that
time assistant to Charles M. Fickert,
then district attorney; that in these
conferences he kept Cunha informed
Of the effect Of the prosecution on the
jury, that he often took other members
of the jury to lunch and argued to per-
suade them that Mooney was guilty;
and that, since Moneys conviction, he
has repeatedly boosted to her that it
was his influence that did the work,
and told her Of the many influential
friends he had gained thru this action,
and Of its beneficial effect on his real
estate business. (MacNevin has since
that time been expelled from the San
Francisco Real Estate board for de-
frauding an old woman client.).
This latest expose Of the frame-up
has caused a sensation here, and Mrs.
Rena Mooney announces that it will
be made the basis of new plea to
Governor Stephens to pardon Tom
Mooney and Warren Billings.

A PARTISAN JUDGE
(Bx The Federated Pressl

Detroit. = Judge Arthur J. futile,
in U. S. district court here has been
asked three times for injunctions re-
straining trespassing by striking rail
way shop workers in the southwestern
district of Michigan. And on all three
occasions he has used his bench as a
rostrum from which to deliver bitter
propaganda in favor of the open shop
and against organized labor.
Tuttle's last utterance, delivered in
the guise of legal opinion, was that by
their methods of conducting the pre-
sent railroad and coal strikes, organic
ed workers had forfeited any right to
court protection. He condemned
all organized labor, without confirming
himself to the railroad workers invoIv-

MINE OPERATORS WILL
TAKE THEIR MEDICINE

Cleveland. - Two meetings vitality
affecting the mine strike which has
been in progress since April |, opened
here Aug. 7. The miners policy com
mittee. which controls the action of the
United Mine Workers during the sus-
pension of work, has assembled to out
line a program and to act on results
that may be obtained in the other meet
ing. The second meeting is that of the
joint scale committee of miners and OPP
orators, created under the agreement
which expired March 81. This meet
ing should have taken place before the
expiration. but the operators preferred
to provoke the strike by violating their
pledge to meet with the miners.
The immediate issue is the terms,
temporary or permanent, under which
coal mining for the winters supply is
to begin without further delay. Opera
tors have been shooed into the confer
ence by government and business in
terests, it is believed. with the threat of
government control Of their mining
in the offing.

GERMAN WORKERS SOLIDARITY
WILL MAINTAIN REPUBLIC

Munich. Germany. - If anybody
thinks that all Bavaria is united, as one,
las the capitalist press would have its
readers believe, in its desire for the re-
establishment of monarchy, let him
spend week, as have just spent it,
visiting around at union headquarters,
talking to people on the streets, and
viewing workers demonstrations. He
will then see that the events culminat-
ing in the murder of Foreign Minister
Rathenau have provoked the same
deep-seated resentment among the rank
and file of Bavaria's workers as they
have in the rest of Germany.
Within two weeks | have seen pop
ular demonstrations on behalf of the
republic in Berlin. in Leipsic, one of
the chief industrial centers Of Saxony,
and now in Munich, the capital of Ba-
varia. In all three of these large CEN
tiers more workers turned out in one
common demonstration than | have
ever seen together anywhere else. Yet
of the three, the most impressive was
easily that in Munich.
Out of tn west end of the city, with
the Greek temple and the colossal sta
tue Of the patron goddess Bavaria in
the background. and with the industrial
fair, which is attracting visitors from
every part of the world. in close prox-
unity, there is an enormous field. 1t
was there that the revolution of 1918
led by the murdered Kurt Eisner, had
its inception. Almost 100000 persons
can assemble there.
From three in the afternoon on, a
steady stream of men and women kept
pouring in, until by 5 the place was
filled. There were hundreds of red
flags and an equal number of the new
flags Of the republic-red, black and
gold. There were innumerabIe pla-
cards and inscriptions bearing such le-
gends as Down With Reaction" "For
the Republic of the Workers. - Peace.
Bread, and Liberty" TO the GalIows
With the Reactionaries, and the like.
At given signal. volley of cheers
for the republic went up that could be
heard far into the city. Nothing more
was said or done-the workers by lay
ing down their tools had given an omin-
Gus demonstration of what they intend
to do if monarchism should again rear
its head.

THE IMMIGRANTS EXPERIENCE
FORMS HIS VIEWPOINT.

New York. = So-called Americana
cation Of our foreign-born population
as practiced by professional American
izers, does not and cannot do good eth
Ter to the aliens or to America, declar~
ed DR.. Albert Shiels of Teachers COL
lege, this city, in an address to the
Amerlcanization conference. Shiels'
address was biting arraignment of
the methods by which American Off
|claIs and self-constituted authorities at
tempt to cram newcomers to America
with ideals and concepts which he cam
not understand, and which, the speaker
limited, are preached rather than prac-
,ticed by the rest of us.
From the moment of his arrival we
try to jam down the foreigners throat
an understanding and acceptance of
our IDEALS" he said. Naturally, we
have not been markedly successful.
In attacking this problem we have
tried to evolve a scheme to satisfy our
own prejudices. Instead of teaching
the immigrant what we think he ought
ito know, we should teach him what he
wants to know. When he first comes
here he is not interested in American
history or civics. That interest, will
come later. with broader interest in
his new surroundings. We ought to
treat him like human being and work
with him, not for him.
DO not try to tell the immigrant that
this country is perfection. Make him
feel that he has come here to help to
make it perfect. He is moi SO differ
ent from us-rather he is very much
like US, That is why he does not like
to'be bulied, patronized. or despised."
Only 3 percent Of the immigrants
education is at present accomplished
in the schools, Shiels continued. The
remaining 81 percent is intrusted to
unsympathetic industry. to the scom-
ful community. And antipathy toward
American institutions is the likely and
mot unnatural result.

LABOR BOARD IS =.
DOOMED TO DIE
Ex-senator BeverIdge Declares
It Should Be Abolished.

Press dispatches from Columbus,
Ohio, indicate that the national ad-
ministration favors abolishing the
railroad labor board.
In his keynote address to Ohio re-
publicans, ex-senator Beveridge of
Indiana declared that the railroad
labor board should be abolished.
American transportation he
said. must be freed from the iron
hand of artificial and arbitrary gov
ernmental direction and placed once
more under the control Of economic
law"
The speaker was selected by
President Harding, who, of course,
discussed with Mr.. Beveridge the
subjects to be referred to.
This changed position by the ad-
ministration again sustains the or
ganized workers, who predicted that
the labor sections of the Cummins-
Esch law would have the ending that
ex-senator Beveridge now suggests
Labor took this position when the
men who now agree with it were

All Star Boxing Card to Be
Staged Next Friday.

The All Star boxing card to be
Friday evening, Oct. 20, will be the
banner attraction for opening the
fall season in the Northwest.
1t brings together on one bill, box
ers who are headliners good enough
for any fight card.
Bernie, one of the fighting Hahn
twins, of Wheeling, W. Va, cham
pion Of the South, will appear in
half of the double windup against
Stewart Mclean. Mclean needs no
introduction to fight fans in this part
of the country. Hahn has met, with
success, all the prominent bantam
weights in the ring at the present
time.
In the other half of the windup
we find Jimmy Delaney, another
boxer well known to Duluth and
Northwest fans. who is now under
direction of Mike Gibbons and Mike
Collins, and being pointed toward
the light heavyweight championship
His opponent, Johnny Sudenberg Of
Omaha, will test Delaney's mettle to
the utmost as Sudenberg has met
Heavyweight Champion Jack Demp-
sey on two occasions, drawing in the
firts bout and only losing the second
by a close margin.
Farmer Lodge, a heavyweight Of
230 pounds, who is also being ham
died by the two Mikes and is start
ing on a campaign toward meet
ing with Jack Dempsey, will meet
John Lee Of Omaha, a boxer we'll
over the 200-pound mark and one
who has an enviable reputation.
In addition there will also be a
six-round bout between two good
featherweights, probably Harry
Ward of St. Paul and Joey Murray
of Buffalo.
This will make bill totaling Sc
rounds of real fighting and one that
all Twin City sporting editors have
commented favorably upon. In fact
they are surprised that a card of
this caliber should be staged in Du-
luth instead Of in the Twin Cities.

Senator Borah read from the consti-

1T seems to me-" said Senator
Borah, that a vicious doctrine has

reasonable doctrine.
'There can be no low, no free
government, without free speech"
Senator Borah assailed the admin

period last year there were 1918
fatalities, of which 365 were at an
thracite mines and 953 at bitumin-
Gus mines.
Falls of roof and coal were re-
sponsible for a fatality rate in 1922
slightly below the eight-mcnths' rate
last year. Accidents due to explo-
sives have been reduced nearly SO
per cent. The fatality rate from haul
age accidents has increased about Z
per cent, while the gas and dust ex-
plosions are about double the num-
ber for the first eight months last
