MODERNIZED DRESS OF

Great NOrthern Railways Crack
TranscOntinental Trains Replaced
BY New Steel Equipment.

st. Paul.-On May 18th the Orient
al Limited, the crack" Transconti-
mental train Of the Great Northern
Railway, will start its cross country
trip from Chicago in brand-new dress
from engine TO observation car. The
new steel equipment for the Oriental
Limited replaces the equipment
which was specially built and placed
in service for the Seattle Alaska Yu-
kon Exposition in 1909. At that
time this was the most up-to-date
train operating on the north trans
continental route, and the new steel
train now replaces what was then re-
garded as the "last minute luxury in
equipment" The new transconti-
mental trains will require about 200
steel cars.

Eastern Washington politicians,
fearful Of the probable effect if the
Palmer initiatory bill for reappor-
tionment is passed, have started a
counter movement which is designed
to defeat the Palmer movement. The
movement is fathered by Senator
Westfall Of Spokane. 1t appears
that its sponsors desire TO defeat the
Palmer bill and carry the matter over
to the Legislature where it
would be allowed to die, and we
should go on with no relief from the
present unfair districting.

GOMPERS ON GUARD AGAINST
COMMUNISM

Spokesman Review: William Z.
Foster, a radical labor agitator. who
directed the ill-starred steel strike,
was publicly accused by Samuel
Gompers at Chicago Wednesday night
Of deliberate design to wreck the
American Federation of Labor and
organize in its stead the so-called one
big union labor organization.
Back of that resolution" Mr.
Gompers charged, is the propaganda
of radical revolution to overthrow the
constituted government Of the United
States. To do that, as Lenine him
self said, the American Federation
of Labor must be overthrow, and
William Z.Foster wants to become the
autocrat of America"
Mr.. Gompers speaks with knowl-
edge Of the facts. The communist par
ty of America, which stands for the
dictatorship of the the proletariat'
and the soviet system of Russia,
openly declares in its official pro
gram;
The communist party must en-
gage actively in the struggle to
revolutionize the trade unions.
A against the unionism of the
American Federation of Labor,
the communist party propagan-
dies industrial unionism and in
dustrial union organization, en-
phasizing their revolutionary i'm
plications. The communist party
recognizes that the American
Federation of labor is reactionary
and bulwark of capitalism 1t
shall be a major task of the com
munist party to agitate for the
construction of a general indus
trial union organization, en-
bracing the l. w w, the W. J.
!. u, independent and seeded
unions, militant unions of the A.
F.of l., and the unorganized work
ers, on the basis of a revolution
airy class struggle.
There is good reason to believe that
Mr.. Gompers is right, and that VIII
liam Z. Foster wants to become the
Lenine of America and with that pu1-
pose is trying to bore into the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, wreck it
from within, organize a so-called pro-
letariat union of all wage earners
and start a revolution in the United
States for the over throw of the
rights of private property and the
substitution of the communist idea
He will fail, of course. There was
time when the novelty Of the Rus
sian soviet method fascinated many
American wage earners, and when
there was slight danger of formid-
able instruction that would have re
suited in bloodshed and widespread
disorders. That danger is no longer
imminent. The Russian experiment
has proved to be a world tragedy, and
only an infinitesimal number of
American wage earners could be in
duced today to advocate its trial in
the United States. Not even in the
last year of widespread and distress
ing unemployment has the commun-
list idea any advancement in the

 It Is understood that Manager Doyle of the Vols intends playing Krehmye- regularly on the short field for the Nashville team. This means that Krehmyer's entrance to the Vol fold means the exit Of shortstop Fuhry, who has been holding down the shortfield since the season got started.
 It would seem that Doyle is bent on getting all the exBarons in his camp he possibly can. First Tommy Gall Iagher was sent to Nashville in ex- change for Bill Statham. Then Out fielder Emery was sold outright. Now comes the Krehmyer deal. Doyle had great luck on the Emery purchase, as Spoke has been playing wonderful however, has done little for them in pitching way.
