1t was learned through confidential
sources by agents of the Government
that at the section conference of the
Workers party in New York city on
July 13, 1922, a suggestion was made
by Ruthenberg that the party come
out in the open with the full Com
munist program, with the words
"armed insurrection" put in way
that would mean the same and retain
the name of the Workers party but
also keep an illegal apparatus that
could take the party underground IL
1t was again forced to by the Depart
ment of Justice.
Jakiro asked Ruthenberg If he
wished an open Communist party why
he wanted an illegal apparatus. Ruth
enberg answered, saying, ITO do the
illegal work, such as send men in the
army and navy to distribute illegal
propaganda in facts, not in words, as
has been done in the case N the past,
and other things that would be illegal
under the present form of society"
He also explained that if the words
~mass action" we're used in the pro-
kram it would cover the words of
Farmed insurrection." which, for a
certainty, the present Government
would never allow them to use.
$50, by having a program of this
kind with an illegal apparatus, the
G.. T.. G. at any time could call for sew
eral men and let them join the army
end navy and undermine them through
the propaganda work, ana once they
nre undermined" he said. I'VE could
come out with fun Communist pro-
gram and propagate armed insurrec-
tion without any one being able to
stop U.S."
A vote was taken. 1t favored the
Ruthenberg idea.
1t was learned that NJ. Jalsiro made
h motion at a subdistrict committee
meeting to have youths who are MEM
bers OF the party join the military
training camps for two reasons--one
to propagate among them and the
other to become militaristic In prepa-
ration OF the time of revolution.
Jakiro is subdistrict organizer.
1 Plans for Workers Party.
"A Chicago report gave detailed ac-
count of the plans of the Communist
Party for tho Workers Party. A set
of typewritten instructions sent out
to all members OF mo. 1"-"the IL
legal party"--ss to what their atti-
kude toward mo. 2"-the legal wing
should be, was procured. These in
ptructions are binding TO all members.
Here are some of the important ones:
"The complete and satisfactory ad-
nustment of No. l and No. Is the
hext problem that the party must
eolve.
I've have had no experience in the
Form OF organization which we are at
che present time building up. Up to
thc present we have been functioning
as a party under conditions OF sup
preston. The form OF organization
was adapted to this condition and al
though the machinery was cumber-
SONS there was no particuglar prob
lem of organization. To-day. in con-
structing the No. we are confronted
with the problem OF adjusting No. 1
to No. in such manner as not to
hamper the growth Of the new organ
fzation.
The need for an open organization
does not have to be emphasized. 1t is

the first problems considered by the
new party. The centrals OF the Agra
rian Bureau were organized under the
proletarian and semi-proletarian farm
workers. Backward farmers, with So
called "land psychology received con-
siderable attention to make a revo-
lutionary element out of them.
All OF these facts covering inten-
tions. purposes and plans were In the
hands of Government officials early in
the game.
About this time Elmer T. Allison of
Philadelphia issued a bulletin which
was manifestly TO cheer his followers
for the struggle:
"The. Workers party is the new
weapon of American toilers. Thou
sands have already laid their hands u
ii. Many other thousands are aroused
to a questioning interest. The pit is
alive with interrogations and shouts OF
approval. The workers are needing the
call to battle.

CHAPTER Vil-Continued,
B.

On the seventh day he was nearing
the village, where the sick chief lay,
and when he caught sight Of the tee
pees In q little creek bottom, he fired
his rifle. and putting Firefy into a
gallop and with right hand high, swept
into the village. Several bucks had
caught up bow or rifle Mt the report
of the gun and the clatter of hoofs,
but their hands relaxed when they
saw his sign of peace. The squaws
gathered and there were grunts OF
recognition and greeting when the boy
pulled up In their midst. The flaps of
the chiefs tent parted and his foster
mother started toward him with a sud
den stream of tears and turned quick
ly back. The old chiefs keen black
eyes were waiting for her and he
spoke before she could open her lips:
"Whlte Arrow! 1t Is well. Here-at
once!"
Erskine had swung from his horse
and followed. The old chief measured
him from head to foot slowly and his
face grew content:
"Show me the horse"
The boy threw back the flaps of the
tent and with q gesture babe an In
dian to lead FREELY to and fro. The
horse even thrust his beautiful head
over his masters shoulder and looked
within, snorting gently. Kahtoo
waved dismissal:
You must ride north soon to carry
the white wampum and a peace talk.
And when you go you must hurry back,
for when the sun Is highest on the
day after you return, my spirit will
pass"
And ~thefeupon he turned his face
and went back into sleep.
just before sunset rlfie-shots sound
ed in the distance-the hunters were
coming In - and the accompanying
whOops meant great success Each OF
three bucks carried a deer over his
shoulders, and foremost OF the three
was Crooked Lightning, who barely
paused when he saw Erskine, and
then with an insolent glare and grunt
passed him and tossed his deer at the
feet OF the squaws. The boys hand
slipped toward the handle of his t0ma.
hawk, but some swift instinct kept him
still. The savage must have had good
reaso for such open defiance, for the
lad began to feel that many others
shared in his hostility and he began
to wonder and speculate.
Quickly the feast was prepared and
the boy ate ~apart-hls foster.mother
bringing him food-but he could hear
the story of the days hunting and the
illusions TO the prowess of Crooked
L%ightning's son, Black Wolf, who was
ErskIne's age, and he knew they were
but slurs against himself.
Fresh wood was thrown ON the fire
and as It's light leaped upward the Lao
saw an aged Indian emerge from one
OF two tents that sat apart on a LITTLE
rise-saw him lift both hands towar'

turn within.

The old nan hesitated long with
closed eyes. When he opened them
the fire was gone and they were dim
again.
"The story Of the prophet and
Crooked Lightning is too long, he
said YEARLY. 81 will tell tomorrow.
The woman must die because her
people have slain mine. Besides, she

turned to lie down and went to sleep.
The old man sat on, staring out at the
stars.

An armful Of pine fagots was tossed
on the blaze, and in q whittier leap of
light he saw the face of a woman at
the other tent-saw her face and for
II moment met her eyes before she
shrank back-and neither face nor
! eyes belonged to an Indian. Startled,
he caught his mother by the wrist and
all but cried out:

"And big Jim" did come back. big

day big jim" was summoned to Fort
Crook, near Omaha, ana In the pres
ence of n thousand or more American
Legion buddies and Hanford Mac
Nider. national commander of the
American Legion, and other notables,
the Distinguished Service cross was
pinned on his breast.
A letter from Gen. John j. Pershing,
and one from Gov. Henry Allen of
Kansas, were read, praising big Jim"
for magnificent heroism. And the story
was told again of how he fought his
way back, dangerously wounded, to
life, and back home again to the wife
who held to the faith he would return.

but IL of the platoon were killed or

the head, and his right arm paralyzed,
but he kept on going, refusing medical
attention, but insisting that his
wounded men be looked after. He led
a brilliant charge, personally captur-
ing two of the German guns.
He sustained wounds in the head,
right thigh and left arm. He crawled
into a shell hole and was unconscious
eight hours. When he recovered con-
seriousness he bound up his own
wounds and tried to help two other
wounded men in the same hole-but
they were killed by shells.
Then he tried to "dig In" But he

swOOping down, opening fire on the
wounded officer with a machine gun.
He played 'possum' again.
And two hours later he crawled out
of his hole and started, slowly, In
agony, to crawl to the American lines.
He couldn't walk. He rolled, crawled,
pushed his way along inch by inch. A
German sniper shot at him every time
he rolled over, and added more
wounds to his total. Finally the
sniper got him with a bullet through
the right thigh, and big Jim" tainted.
He was picked up the next day and
sent to a hospital. He was uncon-
scious 81 hours. and for n month his
identity lost. The War department
cabled his wife in Pittsburg, and
