A man giving his name as Frank
Schnale and saying his parents lived
in Eureka, Kas., died at the City Hall
about $40 Friday morning. The
man was found near the plant Of the
Missouri Utilities Company at 5

the plant. The man was scarcely
able to speak but gave his name and
that Of his parents and told Mr.

could not live long. He was taken
to the city hall and died few min
utes later.
The man told Mrs. George Rod
house that he was on his way to
Kansas City to enter hospital but
had run out of money and was beat
ing his way on the railroad.
He appeared to be about 35 years
old and was nicely but quietly 'dres-
sed. Mr.. Painter sent a telegram to
his parents and notified the coroner.
DR.. r. C. Strobe, coroner Of Aud
rain County viewed the body and
pronounced that death was caused by
consumption and exposure. No in
quest was necessary.
E. R. Schnale, father of Frank
Schnale, who died in Mexico Friday
morning of consumption and expos
ure after being found near the light
plant, arrived IN Mexico late Satur-
day afternoon.
The funeral took place Sunday, the
body being buried in lot purchased
by the father in Elniwood Cemetery
Mr.. Schnale said that his son had
been i'll for some timeand he had sent
him to Hot Springs and New Mexico
for his health but he had not been
contented to stay there. He also said
his son was married but he did not
know where his wife was.

collected is not being used for re-
lief work but is devoted to propa
ganda work.
To it's everlasting credit, the New
York Nation in its issue of January
Is has effectually scotched these
dirty rumors with an editorial call
ing attention to the fact that any or
ganization which can raise such a
great fund ($500,000), entirely from
the working class in this period of
unemployment and widespread at
tacks on the labor movement, with
an overhead of only per cent, can
boast of a brilliant record of achieve
ment.
Just what Hoover's game is, is
is no longer a mystery. 1t is not
game he played in Hungary, neither
the openly Revolutionary
is it the peaceful penetration with
which he is being credited: Hoov-
ers game is to play with the twenty
million odd lives that are at stake
in the Volga valley to the end that
the Russian Soviet government may
be weakened as much as possible.
Just now he is finding most effective
the method of creating the illusion
that he has the situation we'll in
hand. to the end that the American
national conscience may be quieted
and that not more than a fraction
of the necessary relief can be given.
The job before the American work
ing class is sufficiently obvious. The
work must be kept going with an
ever-increasing intensity. Every
element of the working class must
be swept into the work and every
worker must be made to realize that
his great duty is to give and get
others to give for the relief of the
famine sufferers of Soviet Russia.

WORKMEN'S ACCIDENT INSUR.
ANCE LAW
Initiative Measure No. AZ.

INITIATIVE measure NV. r..
The principal improvements of this
measure, over the existing law, are
as follows:
1st-The scope of the act will be
extended to include all wage earners,
except thosee employed in offices,
agriculture and domestic service.
2nd-Awards for injured workers
will be increased from SO percent
to 100 percent. The injured employee,
if single, will receive so percent of
his weekly wage. If married, and
has one child, 60 per cent Of his
weekly wage. If married, and has
two or more Schildren, GO 2/3 per
cent of his weekly wage. The min
imum compensation to be paid is
$40 per week, and the maximum $25
per week.
(The maximum for a single man
at present is $50 per month; single
man under this proposed law, who
earns 1925 a month, receiving 90 per
cent of his wages, would get 5000.
The maximum for married man I'M
der the present law is $3.50 per
month; under this proposed measure,
if he earns 1925 per month"; receiv-
ing sc 2/3 percent of his wages, he
would get 1888. The salary of 1925
per month has been selected as an
average and example of the increased
benefits that will accrue.)
If the injury results in death, his
widow will receive 35 percent of his
weekly wage, with 10 percent added
for each child; with minimum of
SO and a maximum of $25 per week:
also $3.50 for burial expenses. de
tailed schedules will be found in Sec
ton 81
3rd-The joint contribution for
medical aid for injured workers by
which the worker now pays one and
one-fourth cents per day worked,
which totals approximately 100000
per year, is abolished by this meas
ure and the entire cost placed on in
dustry.
4th-The contract doctor and hos
pital system will be abolished, and
the injured employee is given free
choice of physicians.
5th-The measure provides for CO.
operation between this State and the
Federal Board for Educational Edu-
cation for the rehabilitation of in
dustrial cripples.

JUST A WAITIN'
By Charley L. Cant, Editor Guemes
Beachcomber

Just a sittin' here and waitin'
Till the birds commence amatin'
And the daffodill and crocus come a
peepin' from the ground,
Just sort of singin' sighin'
Waitin' for the dandeloin
To perform his hocus-pocus, with his
head above the mound.
Just a sittin' here and dreamin'
Of the balmy sunlight gleamin'
Over sea and field and meadow where
the healthful breeZes play,
Where the sandy beach expresses
Pleasure at the waves caresses
And the light breaks through the
shadow into springtime galaday
Just a waitin' for the glimmer
Of the sun, where waters simmer
And the primrose and the daisy open
their petals to the breeze,
Just a waitin' for the comm
Of the Chinese pheasant's drummin'
And the balmy breezes soughing over
Sapphirated seas.
Waitin' here for springtime clover,
When the winter days are over
And the symphony of Nature plays a
chorus round about.
, Just a waiting here and wishin'
For the early springtime fishin'
When the bloom is on the wahoo and
the speckles on the trout.

Can You Tell Why

Labor laws are always declared
unconstitutional?
All workmen cannot see the benefit
of organization
Union men so often fail to demand
union goods?
So many members never attend
meetings, only when out of job or
in trouble?
So many members think unionism
consists only of paying dues?
Some members always have i'm
portant business on meeting nights
Some unionists never pay their
dues until threatened with expul-
sion?
Some members yell on the street
corners, but whisper in the lodge
rooms?
We so often forget our own faults,
Euth never fail to detect our neigh
boris?
We expect our union to be power
full when we refuse to furnish the
ammunition drains and money! ?

The following article explains one
of the reasons why the local Russian
Famine Relief Committee did not
accept the ultimatum of the Y. NJ.
C. A Committee.
By NORTH J. LOEB
(For the Federated Press
In spite of all Hoover's crafty
work to keep the friendly sentiment
of the American people toward Rus
STA from crystallizing and taking
active form, another organization
calling itself the American Commit
tee for Russian Famine Relief has
been formed to raise funds and ma
terials, particularly foodstuffs, from
the American people generally. This
organization is differed by the lib
eral element and announces policy
of propaganda for the recognition of
the Soviet government, both eco
nomically and industrially. It's dis
tribution will be through the Rus
sian Red Cross.
Senator France of Maryland is
one of it's sponsors and already ten
United States Senators, many Con-
gressmen and governors, and hum
dreds of mayors, clergymen and
educators, have accepted hppoint-
ments on the national advisory COM
mittee. Hoover no sooner was in
formed of this new move than he
got busy again and attempted to
kill the organization in its birth.
Propaganda has been made alleging
the radical character of the organ
ization. Apparently this has failed
of its purpose.
Now Hoover is beginning to get
little hysterical and has sent a
telegram to the headquarters of the
American Committee for Russian
Famine Relief, which he gave out to
the press, making the plea, "*
that as a matter of national pride,
if for no other reason, American
relief work in Russia should be done
by Americans" or in other words,
by Hoover.
At the same time insidious propa-
ganda is being spread against the
working class relief organizations
The Friends of Soviet Russia, the
most active and successful of these
organizations, is being made the
special target of these thinly veilec
attacks which have as their apparent
object the destruction of the or.
ganization. Hoping to damn the
Friends of Soviet Russia in the eyes
of the workers, its name has beer
connected with the Communist, Fail
ing on this score to scare off sup
port, the attempt has been made to
discredit the organization by spread
ing lying rumors that the money
