Mr.. Newman spoke of the need of
a whole hearted devotion to the work
of the church, and in the afternoon
met the trustees and elders of the
church for a conference. During the
conference it was decided to relin-
quish 500 of the aid that had been
given to the church this year, in or

need than ours might be able to keep
open its doors.

The BIG THIRD ANNUAL
NORTHERN CORN SHOW

(By Bernard Markham, Wolf Point)
"Hey, Skinney, where you goin'?''
"Who, me? Why I'm goin' to the
Wolf Point Corn Show" He did
and it was extra good. The corn was
the best Of all of the seasons. 1t was
hard and matured well and there
were many different varieties. There
was SO much you couldn't see any
thing but corn, corn, corn. There were
lots of other things, too. The corn
consisted of popcorn, yellow dent and
too many other varieties to be men
toned. And right there was the place
where Mr.. Irish Cobbler took the
prize for the sixteenth time in the
history of America. And, oh Boy, the
wheat! 1t was too much. 1t took all
the women's baking pans of Wolf
Point to hold it.
And say, the other spuds besides
Mr.. Irish Cobbler, were also grand.
And, oh Boy, the turnips. They sure
did turn up. They all drew good prizes
When the judge went to test them he
used a large sized butcher knife be-
cause they were so large. And then
besides the exhibiting there was ex-
cellent speaking by ONE good speak

sides this, the Wolf Point band and
orchestra gave splendid programs.

Communist Issues in Britain

The Macdonald government has fallen on an
issue raised by the Communist Party of Great
Britain-an issue that is close to the life of the
labor movement and every British worker, an issue
growing out of the Communist campaign against
imperialist war-quashing of Indictment of
sediton against the editor of the Workers Weekly,
official organ of the Communist Party
Closely linked up with this issue is the question
Of the recognition of and treaty with Soviet Rus
sia- another matter brought forward by the Com
munists which the great mass of organized British
workers supported.
Harold J. Laski writing in The Nation of Octo-
Der 1, on the British Trades Union Congress says:
'The hostility of the Congress to the Communists
was marked All their resolutions were voted
down. :" We published yesterday article
on the British Trades Union Congress by Harry
Pollitt-one of the acknowledged leaders of the
boilermakers' union-which does not coincide with
the liberal Laskfs statements, but more of this
later. The fact remains that the British labor
ment which is not Communist, and the British
labor party, which is not Communist, must now
fight British capitalism on clear cut demands which
the Communists have made the center of the
struggle.
The social-democratic idea that a party must
have parliamentary bloc to achieve leadership in
the struggles of the workers has been badly shat
tered by the recent events in Britain and the Com
munist policy of a correct revolutionary theory,
immediate demands that fit the needs of the work
ers coupled with constant activity in the daily
struggles of the workers. has been indicated again
Another result of Communist activity in the
trade unions the granting of extended powers
to the Trade Union Council making it possible for
this central directing agency of the labor move
ment to call the unions into action without delay
when it becomes necessary.
The immediate aims that the Communist Party
Of Great Britain has achieved then are to give a.
clear working class character to the coming cleo
ton campaign and to place the Trade Union
Council in position to solidify the entire labor
movement in the fight against British Imperialism.
All this has been donesaltho, as Mr.. LasH says,
''the hostility of the congress to the Communists
was marked"
May we be allowed to say that when the congress
greets the Communist delegates with marked cor
diality the revolution will not be very far away
but--the liberals will

of what was once the most
militant labor organization in
America.
While members who have paid in
the money have been out of work all
summer and some of them all last
winter, starve and get put out of their
miserable homes for failure to pay
rent, Harrington charges up an aver
age of over seven dollars a day for
hotel bills including the time he stays
at home. He charged UP for hotels for
the three months period $642.00 and
for train fare $9O1.70, and for livery
Che rides in the Yellow taxis) $105.00
in addition to charging up $414.91 for
alleged kilograms while travelling"
Expensive Bric-a-Brac.
This latter item is smaller than he
sometimes charges up as during the
strike of 1922, when he was supposed
to be working without salary, he
charged up over $500 for alleged
kilograms while travelling, but nobody
got the kilograms nor does the West
ern Union have any record of their
being sent. This was an average of
over five hundred dollars a month in
addition to the amount charged up to
the Office for kilograms. Harrington
is the most expensive ornament the
miners have ever had in the position
of president. II is common talk that
he makes more out Of his expense ac-
count than his salary which is almost
five hundred a month.
Treasury ThIns-Farrineto Fattens.
For many years the miners carried
strike balance amounting to from
one to two million on hand all the
time. This has now been reduced to
less than five hundred thousand dol
lars or less than five dollars apiece
for the hundred thousand members,
while the expense account has mount
ed until It is four hundred per cent
higher than 1t was before Harrington
got at the pie counter in this state
and began to accumulate wealth. II
is generally said now that as the
miners treasury began to fade Far
rington's wealth began to increase
and II this is so, as seems likely, there
has simply been a transfer of the
funds supplemented by what the oper-
ators contributed to the worthy cause
of helping out very capable agent
in return for favors granted.
The report shows that the income
