Witness in CrOnkhite Case Says
 P0thier Was Curious

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. S.-James d.. Lee, a Connfcticut garage man and former department of justice agent, was ready to testify this morning as to statements alleged 10 have been made to him in New York by former Sergeant-Bngler Roland H.

Cronkhite on the Camp Lewis military reservation October 25, 1918.
 Major Cronkhite was shot to death while on practice march with the 2l5th Engineers. Pother and Captain Robert Rosenbluth are held on charges of murder as a re- suit of the mysterious death of Ma lor Cronkh!te. Rosenbluth will be tried later.
 Pothier was curious as to the dlf- ference between killing" and 'murdering' a man, David N. Jor- dan of Providence, R, L, testified yesterday.
 Heard No Admission.
 Jordan, who formerly was a dep- uty United States marshal at Provi- dence, said that he never had heard Pothier admit murdering Major Cronkhite. Other witnesses have tes- lined that Pothier made such an ad- mission.
 Jordan said, however, that he had heard Pothier ask:
 Cant you kill man without murdering him ,"
 Ralph Navarro of Brooklyn, N, Y and Frederick s. Hoeckley. of New York, special agents of the depart ment Of justice at the time Pothjer was hrst arrested in March, 1921, preceded Jordan on the stand. Both or them said that Pothier in their presence and with Jordan present, declared in New York city restaur- ant on March 25, 1921, that he had Filled Major Cronkhite at the insti- gatlon of Robert Roscnbluth.

This meeting was still greater
success. Comrade Max Schactman
spoke. There was a crowd close to
800. The subject was "The Next
War" The results were shown by
the questions that were asked and the
discussion, which alone lasted for an
hour and one-half. The speaker
spoke for one hour. There were some
hot arguments with some yellow So

closed at IL.
We advise other branches in this

Class War Victims
Will be Helped by
Workers Aid Group

The Committee for International
Workers Aid, which is in the midst
of campaign to get relief to the
striking miners Of Germany is extend
ing the scope OF its activity to include
help for all victims of the class war,
especially the class war prisoners
and their destitute families. That this
added activity becomes an absolute
necessity is evident from the frightful
situation in many countries. In Pc
land, for instance, the white terror of
the capitalist government has reached
such proportions that even capitalist
politicians have raised a protest.
The French radicals who are about
to take charge OF. the government and
number of other wellknown men
of letters and politics in France, in
Guiding EdouArd Herriot, Paul Pain
leve, Leon Blum, Paul Boncour, Ro-
main ROLAND and A. Aulard printed
proclamation which, altho in reality
intended for currying favor with the
French workers and for getting their
votes, served nevertheless to expose
the horrible crimes perpetrated by the
ruling class of Poland upon the Polish
workers. Tho the French radicals on
entering into Office will proceed to
forget their own manifesto, the work
ers and peasants of France, remem-
bering the manifesto, will not fail to
denounce the conspiratory alliance be-
tween imperialist France and its ac-
complete in crime, Poland.

TOO MUCH FOR
PUBLIC HEALTH
M e dicos' Convention
Denounces Glands

Only one doctor to care for every
nine thousand children in the public
schools, is the startling record estab-
lished by New York State, according
to charts displayed by the Bureau OF
Health and Public Instruction OF the
American Medical Association at the
Municipal Pier.
And it is generally the less eff
cient doctors who are in charge of
public health" said David w. Hensink-
weld, in charge Of the exhibit. pub
lie service, under the present system,
is not made attractive to men of
ability"
The same general inertia is respon-
sible for the lack of adequate public
hospital facilities, Mr.. Hensinkveld
claims. In five states there is not a
single city which has free hospital;
1,454 counties are without hospitals.
"The prevalence of politics in mat
tiers pertaining to public health makes
efficient administration of sanitary
laws an impossibility, said w. S.
Rankin, of North Carolina, in a speech
before the Section on Preventive and
Industrial Medicine and Public Health
yesterday. Every measure for public
health that has been put thru has
succeeded only after bitter fight"
overwork Kills Most.
Doctors in charge of bureaus Of
child welfare agreed in denouncing
the negligence of the modern school
in matters of health. Unhealthy work
ing conditions in factories and stores,
where light and ventilation are poor
and where working conditions cause
a great general strain, were shown to
have an effect on public welfare which
is greatest among the poor, unable to
escape from the slavery where such
conditions are imposed.
"Heart-strain, caused by overwork,
is the indirect cause of heart disease,
and the percentages of deaths from
heart disease is highest among all the
possible causes of death" said DR..
Alexander Lambert, heart specialist.

THE VIEWS OF OUR READERS ON
LIFE, LABOR, INDUSTRY, POLITICS

Down South, the original home OF
the Khan, Negroes and Whites are com
pletely separated in every walk of life
yet friction and animosities between
the races are daily occurrences.
The khan, white guards of the CAPT.
talists, desire to keep Negroes and
Whites ESPECIALLY workers) from
meeting together or coming in contact
with each other The khan wants both
groups to be suspicious and prejudiced
towards each other. K
1t is obvious that under the distinct
and separate Ku Klux Khan southern
policy, the unity Of Negro and White
workers is totally impossible.
When dangerous Red meetings OF
both oppressed groups occur in the
south. it will be the beginning of the
end for the aristocratic exploiters OF
that section.

BULGARIAN MASS
MOVEMENT GAINS
ON GOVERNMENT
Workers and Farmers
Rule Looms


BOSTON, Mass, June 16.-Accoras
ing to official sources of information,
the results Of recent local elections
in Bulgaria are as follows: For gov
eminent parties, $4,000; against gov
eminent parties (farmers and Com
munists), 100000. This is the basis
upon which the people Of Bulgaria
voted in electing their local or county
officials, which means that the power
of the national government sooner or
later must be transferred into the
hands of the left parties.
"The Morning Star" the chief Pre-.
testant paper in Bulgaria and thu
mouthpiece Of foreign capitalism,
while regretting the present situakpu
as being dark and gloomy for tt
in power and shedding crocodile te r.
over it, is vehemently urging tho
people ito be good citizens, obedient
patriots, and exemplary Christians.
(That is: to be meek, kind and for
lgetful Of the autrocities committed
by those in power upon helpless farm
ers and Communists, But fortunately
that, is not the makeup of the peo-
pie of the lofty hills of the Balkan
peninsula)
''IntelIIgentzIa" Fight Workers.
1t states further: at is evident that
a bitter fight is in progress between
the government forces and the left
parties, which, if continued at its
present fervor, can bring to the coun-
try nothing else but sad events and
catastrophies. The "Intellegentzia"(
and part Of those who reside in the
cities as well as those who are in a.
better financial situation, remembered
well the lawlessness and hooliganisra
committed during the regime of SIAM
bouliski (evidently this refers to the
public trial and spiriting away to Jail
Of the ministers responsible for Bull
garia's partaking in the world war)
have decided to prevent at all costs
the comeback of the same regime
with the added continuation of Com
munist leadership. This vow not to
permit the reins of the government
to be transferred into the hands of
the farmers and the Communists is
supported by the fear that if they do
come to power there will be some
bloody vindications. This is more than
certain
1t further states: "This is clear and
unquestionable and this is the main
reason why those in power decided
to do everything possible to prevent
the occurrence of such a carnage.T
| Notice reader, that this Protestant
paper mentions nothing about the
carnage that took place during amt
after the overthrow Of Stamboulsky.3
On the other hand the American
observer must take in consideration
that the farmers (Which constitute
fve-sevenths of the population) and
the Communists are equally deter
mined, in view of their numerical
supremacy which is growing day by
day and not to allow a "gefunkedr
military dictatorship rule over real
and genuine militants of the working
class. That the people of the green
mountain state means business is a
positive fact. This is the reason
why the capitalist propaganda papers
in Bulgaria are working overtime
trying to stimulate hypocritical
brotherly spirit amongst the masses,
for they know from their guilty con-
science that fate has something in
store for them.
