doctrinaire his opportunity for an
audience before which to place his
cause"
!, While a regrettable menace to free
speech. yet the trial was of value in
many ways to the labor movement,
for it showed clearly the domination
Of the communists in this country by
their Russian brethren and the readi-
ness of our reds to take orders from
the soviet authorities. It also made
clear the methods that are followed
in making these orders effective. We
are reprfnting or summarizing the
testimony that bears out these con-
clusions. Bear In mind that this
testimony was given under oath by
Ruthenberg, principal witness for the
defense. and by the defendant testi-
flying in his own behalf.
The principal witness described the
difference between communism and
anarchism, and communism and So
cialism. He declared that the COM
munists, following Marx, believed
that it was impossible to force a
revolution by the minority using vio-
lence, that 1t could only come by an
organization of the majority of the
workers, which should strive for po-
I'm the question of force" the wit
ness continued. "the communist in
ternationale has told the communist
party of America that to talk about
force in the United States was nom
sense. that there are no historical
conditions to suggest such propagan-
da here and that We should merely
advocate here today the first step of
the workers and the farmers to unite
themselves politically for the strug-
gle against capitalism. They, told us
to organize labor party and to urge
the unions to amalgamate and to
propagate the idea of Industrial
unions instead Of craft unions, so that
all the workers in an industry can
be organized into one union"
In Touch With Moscow.
Ruthenberg testified that the work
ers' party still had a direct connec-
ton with the communist interna-
tienale and that he himself had COM
municated several times recently
tary OF the executive committee Of
the communist internationale. He
also admitted that the New York city
meeting had taken up the question of
whether communist work here was to
be carried on in the open hereafter
speech delivered by a man named
Pepper. According to Ruthenberg,
Pepper told the New York commu-
nists that the leaders of the interna-
tionaie in Moscow favored an open
communist movement in America, be-
cause they believed the political sit
uation here had changed enough to
make it possible to advocate publicly
revolution and Dictatorship by the
proletariat
Ruthenberg said that the COM
munist party had an industrial de-
partment, through which members of
the party who were also trade union
lists, were organized to carry on a
campaign within the unions for the
industrial program of the party.
The American Federation of Labor,
through Its executive council has
not hesitated to apply discipline to
city central labor Unions inoculated
with the communist germ and show
ing virulent reaction. Detroit was
called to order, and Seattle and Min
neapolis have been given a time limit
in which to ,retract. The federation

HE president of the American
Federation of Labor is gun
ming for the communists in
and out of the labor move
ment. In a number of recent public
addresses Mr.. Gompers has exposed
the trickery and the sophistry Of the
advocates Of one big union and has
linked their activities with the work
ers' party, the communists and the
Trade Union Educational League, the
latter the creature of w. z. Foster
and exploited by his paper, the Labor
Herald, published in Chicago.
One does not have to go far for
the evidence to justify MIR. Gompers
in his determination that the wage
earners shall know the facts and thus
be able to appreciate the menace
that confronts them and their
organizations, and to guard against
the Bridgeman raid, in which the de-
fendant escaped because Of an equal
ly divided jury. Ruthenberg. one of
our leading communists, and Foster,
the scheme to control the labor unions
of America and that his effort was
conducted Under plans perfected in
Moscow and orders from that center
Of red activity and propaganda.
Theory Sounds Fine.
Briefly. the conspiracy seeks to
amalgamate all unions into a single
is termed one, big union, so that the
wage earners may be the better
equipped to meet the employer on
the economic field" and that when
necessary; in order to enforce de.

strikes under single and fully ern-
powered leadership. This sounds
nice, another beautiful theory, many
times exploded. but the trouble is
that the memories OF the wage earn
ers, like those Of people generally,
are short. The real object Is pofitf-
cal. The proponents of the movement
know that it cannot now be made to
work for many reasons, but tney also
know that II it could be made effec-
hurt it's communist progenitors;
rather will 1t help them. for in defeat
and despair the wage earners are Pc
culiarly susceptible to economic nos
trums, takers and schemers. They
are willing to grasp at straws, to
embrace any doctrine that promises
relief. The communists and their flk
are great promfsers- They know
what they want and they are not
bothered with consciences.
lions Of wage earners will be under
the guidance and domination OF its
proponents and when 1t falls eco
nomically and turns to politics, exert
ed through the communist party. the
same tricksters will be In command,
SO much nearer their dream OF po-
litical power and its ruthless applica-
ton. Russia furnishes the tnspira-
ton and the example.
Explains Objective.
At the st. Joseph trial, questioned
as to his objective and as to his ac-
tivfties in the labor government,
Foster made the admission that his
program of industrial unionism Is the
key to the whole revolutionary move
ment. 1t was contended that this
aspect Of the case was all-important
because all communist literature, es-
pecially the works of Lentn and
many other prominent leaders Of the
Russian soviet republic and the COM
munist fnternationale at Moscow, en-
phasixes the fact that communism can
only get control in any country by
organising the workera- and getting

UNION PACIFIC
BRAKEMAN Is
BADLY INJURED
Member of North Platte-Jules-
burg Local Crew Strikes Head
Against Car While Switching
In Union Pacific Railroad
Yards Here Last Tuesday

E. H. Helgerson, Union Pacific
brakeman, and a member of the North
Platte -Julesburg local freight crew,
was seriously injured Tuesday after
noon about two o'clock, shortly after
the local had arrived here from North
Platte. Mr.. Helgerson was engaged in
switching in the east railroad yards
near the coal chutes. and in leaning
out from the side of moving car,
his head struck the side of another
car which was standing on an adjoin-
ing track. He fell from the moving
car which he was riding onto the
ground, being rendered temporarily
unconscious from the terrific blow
which he received in the back of his
head. Other members of the train
crew witnessed the accident. and i'm
mediately rushed to his assistance.
He was taken to the offices of Drs. F.
G. Dutton and C. w. Rook. Union Pa
cific physicians, where the injured
man was given medical aid. Mr.. Hell
gerson was put aboard eastbound
passenger train No. 20 Tuesday after
non and taken to his home in North
Platte, Nebr., for further treatment.
1t is thought that his injury will not
prove fatal, as fortunately the skull
was not fractured.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
FOUNDER OF REPUBLIC

With all the eulogizing of Wash
ington which is done at this time each
year, how many Americans think Of
the amazing good fortune which our
nation enjoyed in having such lead
er at such time? Very few. Even
the speakers and writers who praise
him most usually regard him as an
ornament of the republic when the
fact is that he was one of the basic
causes of the republic. Without
George Washington. the history of the
United States and of the world for
the last century and half would
have been different from what it has
been.
To begin with, Washington was a
great soldier; one of the four or five
greatest that the English speaking
race has produced-and probably the
J foremost of them all. His Trenton
and Princeton campaigns were mill
tary masterpieces. His Yorktown
campaign was another masterpiece on
larger scale. The way in which he
threw his army across the country and
closed in on CORVALLIS stood unri-
vailed until Napoleon threw his forces
across France and closed in on the
Austrians at Ulm.

realized that the present controversy
between the growers and the Great
Western Sugar Company, concerning
the price for beets for the year 1928,
is fraught with great danger of loss
to oil parties concerned, and an early
settlement of the price for beets is
vehs ce.iTable. At next Saturdays

agreement between all parties can be
reached concerning the contract price
for beets fro 1928.
