After laborious efforts by which

Fry found McDonough at the house
occupied by Swift, who was not at
home. The former was repairing his
car.
The liquor was found in 10-gallon
kegs. In order to destroy the liquor,
the kegs were perforated by shots
from revolver and the liquor allowed
to run out through the bullet holes.
Charges of conspiracy TO possess
liquor were first filed against the two
defendants. After the release of Nc
Donough. the charges of conspiracy
were automatically dropped against
Swift and he was held on simple
charge of possession. .

had eaten all the ham before he
came up. But it illustrates the prin-
ciple of the thing.
We admit that the organization of
our little soviet is as yet incomplete.
In beginning a soviet the real true
way is that the members shall all
be united in a common and harmoni-
Gus occupation. Then the common
product belongs TO all. This is diff
cult for us. So, instead of beginning
in a complete way, we have sovietized
all our wages. Comrade Globenski
explained to US how wages are soviet
ized. We all bring what we earn to
Globenski and then il becomes a pool
and belongs to all of the brothers
and sisters in common. Every Satur-
day night each brother brings what
he earns and lays il down on a little
tablet in front of Globenski and says:
Take this, little father" And Clio
benski says: Il do take it, little
brother" And he does.

had and he was accidentally gas
piped the same evening. The coinci-
dence struck everybody at once.
If any comrade is without work
and without pay. il makes no differ
ence. He simply says to Globenski:
''Oh, comrade. l have nothing" And
Globenski says: And what of that,
oh, brother? What We have not be-
longs to all. Take, and take freely"
The thing is so beautiful that it
makes one lose his taste for capital
istic society altogether.
When brother feels that he can
work no longer in bourgeois society,
all that he has to do is TO go before
Globenski and hold up his two hands
and say: Look. brother: / work no

its young. It is believed that half
this distance is covered in a single

to launch over the Atlantic in the
vicinity of Nova Scotia, and there

being seen again until they appear in
northern South America

OUR LITTLE SOVIET EXPLAINED
BY A ASERIOUS-MINDED MEMBER

1t, however, in the evenings, and are
away on in the alphabet already.
Two of the comrades passed the six
teenth letter neck and neck last week
and are still forging ahead. And
Globenski is teaching us little phrases
orally, such as Have | the property
Of my brother NO. but ! mighty

THERE have been little difficulties
l. about our amusements. Many OF
the brothers are fond OF playing
cards, and, especially when the broth
ers have desisted from outside bour-
geois work they like to sit in the
soviet and drink , per cent kwas and
play Skoot, which is a Russian game
something like the one called poker
Two of the brothers were playing
skoot the other night on a soap box
by candlelight and / stood watching
the game, and when it was all fin
ished one looked up and said to me:
Sorrow with me, o brother; I have
lost Your Sunday overcoat.' And the
other: And with me. too. little
brother; have lost your patent
leather slippers. Share my grief with
me till it heals"
Little difficulties like these have
made some of the brothers and sisters

working that perhaps our organiza-
tion was premature. Possibly we

seem TO have found him yet and is

little troubled. They fear that perhaps
Globenski has been seized by the
agents of the ounter-reVolutionary

NJ Y friends and I have just
nH started a little soviet of
our own. We got our OPP

to the fact that several of US were
and he told us how and offered to
be dictator. Comrade Globenskt used
to mend shoes on Grand street. but
he said that he had grown sick and
tired of the capitalist regime and
bourgeois society. He said he had no
wish to take part in capitalism any
more.
So when we had heard so much
about the soviet and what it could
do, we went to Globenski. three or
four of us. and we said: "Globenski,
do you know how to make soviet?'
And he said: Il do" So we said:
How much will you take to make
soviet for usr' And he said: Il will
take nothing. The soviet is based
on love- 1 will do II for love" Then
he got up from his bench and kissed
us. 1t was wonderful.
The commencement was simple.
Most CT the prospective comrades
lived in the same apartment house.
SO we simply sovietiZed the house
and declared il to be the common
property of all the brothers and Sis
ters.
Globenski invited the proprietors of
our apartment house-if / may be
allowed to use term which ought
to have no place in the language-to
