You may take it from Gary and
his military friends, when you vol
unteer or register in the next draft,
you can be fairly certain of not re-
turning disappointed. Of not re-
turning in fact. For the delight Of
its illustrious guests, the Ordnance
Association exhibited few Of the
modern war machines in the banquet
hall. Obviously, to whet the din
ers' appetite.
The quests generally agreed that
they enjoyed a pleasant evening. A
of cordial greeting from
President Coolidge was read amid
happy applause. The announcement
of each new contraption Of death and
destruction brought cheerful smiles
and approval and encouragement.
The hard-faced men who got rich out
of the last war were in accord that
the next session would afford them
incomparably greater prosperity.
The concensus Of the diners was
the Box and Levermore and similar
pessimists need not be taken too
seriously; for the prospects are, in
deed, rosy. The conversation at the
banquet table showed unreserved con-
fidence in the government at Wash

hunter during the war, and federal
prohibition agent since. He lost his
job as dry agent year ago after
he was tried for murder of raid
victim in Madison.
Young was hired by the Khan six
months ago, ostensibly to clean up
bootleggers in Williamson county.
Actually he has been warning upon
foreign-born miners and anti-Klan
elements.
The dictator" jumped into the
Herrin fights Friday night as soon
as he heard of the killing here Of
Caesar eagle, Herrin policeman,
khan leader, and Young's first raid
lieutenant. He dashed in an auto
mobile TO Herrin and swore out
warrants for Mayor A. G. Anderson,
Sheriff Galligan and dozen Of the
sheriff's deputies, served them after
shooting up the Herrin hospital, and
took over the police power Of the
town under the nose Of the first com
panies of troops.
For the $1,000 salary the khan has
paid him so far, Young has 500
cases charging violation Of the Vol
stead Act 70 come before the March

GERMAN D
WILSQ
TROU Bill
VIII ContESE e

Reports that the refusal OF the
German ambassador to half mast the
flag at the German embassy on ac-
count of the death of Wilson will
seriously interfere with collections
for German relief were branded as
"nonsense" by Rose Karsner, ma
tional secretary of the Friends of
Soviet Russia and Workers Germany
Yesterday. Dispatches from Wash
ington have quoted various bankers
and big business men as saying that
the action of the German ambassador
will kill all chances Of floating loan
for Germany and all possibility Of
collecting for German relief in this
country.
1.-THE Friends of Soviet Russia and
Workers Germany will not pay any
attention to the talk Of the American
bankers who are willing to use any
excuse to stop German relief. They
will continue to send all the aid they
can to their German brothers.
Ambassadors Act Natural.
1.-THE workers of this country can
well understand the motives that led
the German ambassador to refuse to
mourn the death of Willon. That his
refusal to mourn will slriously inter-
fere with collecting for the relief of
the starving German workers and
their children is the sheerest nom
sense. The bankers aid others who
hone that this incident will interfere
with German relief lave not them
selves been helping the German
workers and their Children. They are
afraid Of the spirit tat is manifest
when American wdkers give for
German relief. Thef would like to
see it killed." the seretary's state
ment said.
1.-THE bankers knoI that the work.

day are the very German workers
who were opposed q the war and
were forced into it $ainst their will.

Of the war welcome it. The Hohen-
zollerns were closerto them than the
workers who fouat the war that

Walsh, chief, New York ord
nance district; Gen. j. j. Carly,
vice-president, American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co., and Dwight
F. Davis, assistant secretary of war.
You may believe the assurances of
these gentlemen that the next war
is not going to be any little semi-
pro affair as the last one. In their
remarks delivered at this festive
dinner, the speakers left no doubt
that the coming unpleasantness would
be a good business proposition.
Inventions for destruction, which
were considered epochal until 1918,
are now antiquated. Colonel Walsh
announced, with ill-concealed pride,
that his own department has per-
fected a rs milimeter cannon which
can carry twice as far as the most
powerful French cannon in the world
war. Aerial bombs are now con-
structed in this country, which de-
stroy whole towns and, UPON striking
their mark, rip open craters $50 feet
wide and so feet deep. These har-
bingers of democracy contain 1000
pounds of explosives. Tanks which
could move only at the rate
of IL miles an hour will hereafter
tear across land and water and up As

they are subjected to by the capt.

such a party. Therefore, be it,
Resolved, That this Conference
declares itself in favor of the or
ganization of a Farmer-Labor Par
ty and independent political action
by the industrial workers and
farmers, and be it further
Resolved, That this Conference
endorses the convention called for
May both in the Twin Cities to
nominate q Farmer-Labor candi-
date for president and yice-presi-

which convention is called by the
Farmer-Labor Party of Minnesota,
the Federated Farmer-Labor Party,
the Farmer-Labor Parties Of Wash
ington, Montana, South Dakota,
the Progressive Party of Idaho and
the Committee of AZ, and urges
each organization represented in
this Conference to send delegates
to the May S0th Convention.
He had hardly finished reading
when Chairman Johnston declared the
resolution out of order because at is
contrary to principles of this confer
ence." Delegate Cramer, Of Mime
apolis, thereupon moved as an amend
ment, "That the convention shall
nominate a candidate for president
and vice-president on a Farmer
Labor Party"
One of the railroad delegates was
quickly on the floor to move to table
the amendment and this was carried,
cutting Cramer off from debate. The
first section of the call was there
upon adopted. The next section pro.
vided for the date of the conven-
ton and delegate Cramer was again
on his feet with the amendment chat
the convention be held IN St. Paul
on May 30th."
Another railroad delegate quickly
moved to table the amendment, at
to cut off Cramer again.
This was too raw and the chairman
was forced TO hold the motion in
abeyance while Cramer spoke. Cramer
said, "The workers and farmers of
the Northwest are thru with the old
parties. They have called their con-
vention for may Both to nominate on
a Farmer-Labor Party ticket. They
are suspicious Of this conference.
They have no faith in it. If you
don't want dual movement and two
parties you should change the date
10 May Both when the farmers and
workers have already determined to
hold their convention"
Cramer's speech made a strong i'm
preston but the machine quickly
railroaded thru the motion TO table
his amendment.
Another fight was precipitated
when Cramer amended the report to
provide for representation in the
Cleveland convention from local
Unions. Delegates Sullivan and Strong
