RECOMMEND SUCCESSOR
The election Of Mr.. Bonar Laws
successor, as important to Great Brit
ain as the election of a president to
the United States, is outside the hands
of the people; the prerogative rests
with the king of summOning a con-
sentative statesman to take over the
seals of Office. According to the Gus
tom, Mr.. Bonar Law will recommend
to the king his successor. His resig-
nation from the premiership being a
personal one, not the resignation Of
the cabinet, does not involve the hold
ing Of a general election, though that
is among the possibilities and I'M
doubtedly the last possibility the peo-
pie want to see. This is the Whitsun-
are now absent from London.
The burning question is who will
put on Laws mantle. If Austen Cham
berlain were not one of the cOnserva-
tive "die hards" who stood by the
LLOYD George coalition and kept aloOf
from inquiries received Friday when
bly, would be the legitimate and natur-
al successor. There are three of four
possibilities among the conservative
leaders-LOrd Derby, who is the incar-
nation of steady, unsensatiOnal states
manship; the Earl of Balfour, tried
and trusted, who. although well on in
years, appears still at the prime Of his
mental powers and Marquis Curzon
who appears logically the most likely
successor.
While none questions of his ability

DAYS guarded discussion of the future
have pointed out that what they con-
slider his personal disabilities for lead
ership and tactful leadership of men.
NOT CURZON AIM
Everyone knows that the premier
ship has been the goal and dream OF
Lord Curzon's life.
A premier who is a member of the
house of lords will not be popular in
the house of commons.
The question arises as TO whether
the new premier, informing his cabin
ct will take into consultation Mr.
Chamberlain, Lord Birkenhead, Sil
Robert Stevenson Horne and others
of the die hard faction.
Parliament stands adjourned until
May % and there is a speculation as
to whether the king will summon il
to meet at once.

CAL. BUSINESS TYRANTS OUT TO SMASH
HARBOR STRIKE, SINCLAIR CHARGES
Noted Radical Author Arrested at
Free Speech Meeting, Will Expose
Open Shop Savagery.

The unlawful arrest of Upton Sim
clair by the Los Angeles police when
he attempted to hold free speech
meeting in that city on Tuesday last,
is only one factor in a drive to break
the seamen's strike now in full swing,
according to a telegram received by
the American Civil Liberties Union
from Sinclair. The noted socialist
and author claims that he is Gin a po-
sition to show that the entire cam
paign to smash the harbOr strike by
means of the police is instigated and
directed by the Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association of California"
The telegram to the Union relates
how Sinclair and his three companions
were spirited away in an automobile
Immediately after their meeting was
interrupted, held incommunicado for
eighteen hours and how, finally, only
the persistent efforts of newspaper
men forced Oaks to reveal his where
abouts. All this time, Sinclair states,
"jail and police authorities were lying
to my wife and attorneys as to my
whereabouts, refusing them access to
me or information.
Sinclair charges Mayor Cryer of
Los Angeles with getting cold feet,
stating that the Mayor promised him
and his companions that they might
meet unmolested and then gave them
the double cross by allowing Chief
Oaks to arrest them for reading the
Constitution of the United States on
private property. Don't talk this
constitution stuff here" was Oaks re-
plv to Sinclair when he read him the
bill of rights in the police station,
prior to the meeting.
Hunter Kimbrough (Sinclair's
brother-in-law) and myself were in
the Office of Irving Hays, vice preSi-
dent of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers Association" Sinclair states in
his telegram to the American Civil
Liberties Union. eve heard him in
a long, stormy conference with Ham
mond, president of the Hammond
Lumber Company, a great shipping
corporation. Hammond cursed and
pounded the table demanding immedi-
ate smashing of the strike. Hamomnd
was promised an immediate meeting
and arrangements for action. | am
in a position to expose the whole sit
uation. There is wide open public
sympathy with us. I want to summon
as witnesses at our trial, which comes
up June 18th, Mayor Cryef, all the
police officials, and Hammond, and
also several clerp ymen who have been
arrested when they tried 20 speak out
here. We can make full expose If

HORSE HITCH DEMON
.STRATION in SHERI-
dan COUNTY in JUNE

An expert Will Handle the Teams
Showing Two bitches and Demon
strating How Quick Teams Can BE
Harnessed.
A demonstration of the methods of
hitching and handling large horse
teams will be given in Sheridan coun-
ty in June, according to word from
County Agent Melvin Ostby. The
dates now are set for June II and II,
but later announcement Of exact dates
and places of the demonstration Will
be given by the county agent.
In the big survey of successful
farms in North Dakota last summer it
was found that men driving large
teams were, in most cases, making
larger incomes than men VINO can
handle not more than four or SIX hors-
es at a time. The survey developed
that big horse farming has an I'M
portant place in the dry land methods
of north Montana On the dry farm
success train that the State College
Extension Service sent thru north
Montana this spring, the big team
demonstration was a feature. Be
cause of the interest in this handling
of big teams, another demonstration
tour is arranged for June.
At each demonstration will be the
county agent, an agricultural engineer
and an expert handler of big teams.
1t is thought that this teamster will
be Jesse j. Peek, the driver who was
with the farm success train this
spring. Different methods of hitching
from eight to twelve horses will be
shown, with different kinds of harness
and methods of driving the teams.
| There is some difference of opinion be-
tween various farmers on the Mailman
type of hitch and the evener type, but
! both types will be demonstrated and
the farmer can see which works most
efficiently.
One thing about the demonstration
! of interest will be methods by which
I one man can quickly harness these big
teams, lead them from the barns
hitch them to the implement, feed anC
water them without unnecessary loss
of time. 1t will also be shown how
young colts can be broken among the
old horses in each of these big outfits
without danger of undue trouble.
A big dynOmometer will measure
the pull between various horses anC
various teams in these demonstrations
and will measure the efficiency of the
various bitches.

LIBERTIES UNIONS PROPAGANDA NOT

Send Sharp Rebuke to A. F. of 3
False Charges in Publicity Survey
Characterization of the free-speech
propaganda of the American Civil Lii
berries Union as "prO--Soviet," made
in survey of the A. F. of L. publicity
service is vigorously denied by offic-
ials of the Union in statement sent
today to Chester M. Wright, who
made the survey.

maintenance of free speech, free

Prof. Harry F. Ward, chairman of the

director, assert They deny that most
of the militant work is necessarily
done for those who are most attacked,
whom they describe as '.the radicals
and militant elements of organized la
bOr."
The Civil Liberties Unions COM
municatiOp to Wright, follows:
"In your news service for release
May 18th, you report the results of a
survey of efforts to use the trade I'M
ion press of the United States for
propaganda purposes In it you
charge the American Civil Liberties
Union with sending out 'pro-Soviet
propaganda You have evidently not
examined the facts with any care. We
have not sent out any propaganda
except that relating to the rights of
free speech, free press and freedom
of assemblage in accordance with the
American constitutional guarantees
and tradition. We have not sent out
one line of what can fairly be des-
cribed as pro-Soviet propaganda, and
we challenge you to cite single state
ment or publication of ours to that
effect.
cit is, of course, true that we have
beer aiding the defense of commune
lists and other persons sympathetic
with Soviet Russia, because they
were prosecuted and interfered with
merely for their expressions of indus
trial and economic opinions. We have
done the same thing for the Ku Kl1x

ed Mine Workers District II, District
2. among others; with the Interna-
tional Association of Machinis1s and

eve call your attention to these
facts because of misstatements in the
