DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT
ON SCAB LROAD WAS
CAUSE OF FATAL WRECK

ST. LOUIS.-Engineer William J.
ogan, Missouri Pacific, denies re-
sponsibiIIty for the headon coIlis-
ion of two passenger trains at SYRIA
cuse, Mo-, when "A passengers were
injured and an engineer killed.
ogan maintains the wreck was due
to faulty air-brakes. After the col
Iision ogan inspected his train and
found the angle-cock on the first car
partly closed by vibration Of the air
pipes. With this cock closed the
brakes could not be applied. This
adds another fatility to the Missouri
Pacific, whose repair shops are still
manned by strikebreakers. The
shipments strike Of 1922 has never
been settled. The railroad faces a
multitude of damage suits for in
jurIes to passengers in wrecks. In
most cases experienced railroaders
give as their opinion that the disas-
tiers were the fruits Of defective
equipment.

GERMAN PRISONS
HORROR CELLS
FOR POL|TICALS
Families Suffer Poverty
and Persecution


The brutalities committed by the
police of Germany in the name of law
and order read like a list of barbar-
tiles perpetrated in the medieval
chamber OF torture.
The Modern Inquisition.
In the city of Muenster the police
beat into insanity worker, Heimburg
by name. He had to be transferred
to an insane asylum.
In Ulm, Christian Reich, laborer,
was brutally treated to the point of
death. A request to have him trans.
ferred to the hospital was answered
by the prison doctor with the accusa,
ton that the prisoner was only simu.
lating Two days after, Reich died in
terrible agony.
Fritz Neubacher, a machinist in
Schwerin, was held in prison without
any specific indictment. He was mis-.
treated until deathly sick. Transfer
to hospital was denied. Neubacher
was driven to suicide In the same
city of Schwerin, the laborer Hummer
field was imprisoned, accused of at
tempt to murder. Cruelties brought
Kummerfeld to the point of death.
Transfer to hospital was not permit
ted and suicide ended his sufferings
After his death the district attorney
declared that no evidence existed
against Kummerfeld, but that he was
kept in prison for his unwelcome pol
itical beliefs.
Thousands Imprisoned Daily.
These are only a few of the thou
sands of cases which occur under the
guise Of law and order in Germany.
Thousands of workers are imprisoned
and each day more are added.
Law and order in Germany could
be regarded as a joke were it not
such grim reality for those unfortu-
mates who fall into its clutches. First
the ruling classes pushed the workers
into the slaughter of the world war.
Objection to the war was a major
crime. Now oppositions to misery
which resulted from the war becomes
a major crime.
Women and Children starve.
Mothers, wives and children of the
imprisoned are starving, bounded by
the police and refused work. Concern
for their beloved ones outside of pris.
on increases the sufferings Of those
workers inside of prison. These
workers buried in the hell-holes of
Ebertist prisons, their starving and
suffering wives, children and mothers,
appeal for help to the workers of the

Replying to McCullagh's testimony
which talked luridly of executions of
priests and bishops in Russia Hibben
declared that the only priest put to
death there was Mgr Butkevitz, for
high treason and the use of money

CANADIAN BANKS
MERGED SINCE
The WORLD WAR
Bankers Spent 500, 600
to Protect rights"

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. 2S.-"ThG
concentration of Canadian wealth
since the war has been astounding
and today nearly three-quarters OF the
money on deposit in Canadian banks
is held by four banking houses. Ten
years ago there we're "a chartered
banks in Canada; one year ago II
were in existence and today this num-
Der has been reduced to 49," These
facts concerning the control Of Can
ada's money power were made public
by ]. S. Woodwork, leader Of the
labor party in the Canadian house of
commons while on a speaking tour Of
the Pacific coast
Wordsworth declared that 100000
was spent by the Canadian Bankers
Assn. to prevent the introduction of
federal legislation interfering with
their pilfering perogatives. Attempt
was made by the labor group in the
federal house to secure government
inspection of banking books, but the
government was completely sub
'servient to the big business interests
of Canada and refused to countenance
any change.
One result Of the governments at
titude on the question Of banking regu-
lations was the alignment of larger
labor group in the dominion house of
commons, Wordsworth stated. Several
members Of the house, who had been
elected as progressives and had be-
come disguised with the way the pro
gressive party truckled to the govern
ment, went over to the labor group
and increased its number to 10.
