Second, late seeding. Flax needs to
be sown early to mature before frost,
and also to keep ahead of the weeds
in the spring. Experiments show that
fax can be successfully grown on
clean corn land. They also show that
fax should not follow small grain.

Action Seems to Forecast British -' Recognition of S0VietS

London, Jan a5.-Although Pre- mier Macdonald and his ministerial colleagues have made no announce ment since taking office, regarding their plans for recognition of soviet Russia, the press accepts unquestion- ingly the statement of the South Leeds labor party that James O'Grady has agreed to accept appointment as Britain's first ambassador to. Moscow.
 Newspaper dispatches from South Leeds which is MT. O'Grady's par liamentary constituency say the labor organization received its information from the member himself. The 1ap- pointment has not been confirmed of ficially but the views of the ministers on this subject are well known from their election speeches.
 It is not expected that Mir. O'Grady will go to Russia immediately in any case. The death of Lenine doubtless is delaying the arrangements for rec ognition and the uncertainties regard ing the succession to the leadership of Russia presumably will have to be removed before the new British ad- ministration is able to take definite action.

Philadelphia, Jan. 25.-The third 4s hour police drive against vice and crime in this city started today under the direction Of General Smedley D. Butler, director of public safety.
 The police swung into action after the director had held a conference with high officials of the department. Preceding the conference, forty-two lieutenants were summoned to the di- rectors office. As the lieutenants filed out. General Butler announced he had told them there was to be mo more fooling," as he knew they had not "clcaned up their districts as thoroughly as they had reported & "Hundreds of joints," he said, "supposedly closed, have been operat- ing openly in daylight and this is go- ing to be stopped at once. ] told the lieutenants 1T they couldn't do what l wanted the police force would be too hot a place for them.'
 Speculation was rife among the rank and file Of the force over an in- tiaiation of General Butler that he was going to spring great sur- prise"

DEATH WAGE OF SIN
 BOY MAY BE DYING
Son Of Head of House of David Married Outside Of the Cult

Benton Harbor, Mich, Jan. 25.- Death is the result of sin. according to the teachings of King" Benjamin Purnell founder and missing head of the House of David colony here, but should his son, Coy Purnell, died, it would not affect the faith of members of the cult, according to those out side the colony, who are familiar with its teachings. The son now lies in Shiloh House, Capitol" of the colony, probably mortally ill.
 But Coy Purnell sinned, his fathers teachings say, for some years ago he married a woman who was not q member of the House of David. Thus in colony where death is regarded as a disgrace and those who die are buried outside the colony in nnmark- ed graves, unmourned and unremem- bered, the illness of the founders son. if it proves fatal, may be taken merely as a substantiation Of the teachings of the cult.
 Benjamin Purnell las been sought by Michigan authorities for some time on criminal charges brought by former members Of the cult in con- nection with alleged illegal practices in the colony. A sharper watch has been kept by authorities since the son became ill in the belief that the father might return, but former mem- bers of the colony say tn.s Is un- likely. These persons point out that an estrangemcnt existed between the father and son before the former dis appeared from the colony. only through his mothers intervention. 1t is said. has the son been permitted to live at the colony.

lAfHERE the beautiful Mt Fuji

worthy of its name. You can walk

When modern industry invaded
Treasure Island, the islanders were
able to respond to its call without
destroying primitive Communism and
thereby enjoying its beauty and hap

of capitalistic anarchy which prevails
turnout the civilized nations. About
600 years ago, they were told that
they have one more treasure in addi-

The Mikura lockwood with plenty mois-

THE recent election of S. Saklat-
/ vala, member of the British Com
munist Party and also of the British
labor party to parliament by the vot-
ers of the Battersea (London) district
is a smashing answer to the charge of
labor party officials that Communists
cannot function constructively in the
labor party and trade union move
ment and should be denied member
ship in the British labor party.
MS member Of the Clerks and
n Administrative Workers Union,
and their delegate to the labor party
branch of st. Pancras Uondon), SAX
Iatvala has for many years taken an
active part in the labor movement as
an educational propagandist- Before
joining the Communist Party he was
a member of the independent labor
party. In the parliament preceding
that Of the Macdonald government, he
was the lone Communist member. At
ter one terms absence he now comes
back as the lone Communist mem
Der.
LIE comes back to parliament now
because $4,000 working men and
women in Battersea believe in his in
tegrity, in his ability as fighter, and
in the principles of workingclass gov
eminent for which he stands. These
$1,000 wOrkers-not more than 30 OF
whom are members of the Communist
Party (his own figures) have conf
dence in Saklatvala in spite Of the de-
luge of prejudice and abuse which
is levelled against Communists by ma
tional labor party officials and the tory
press. He was the overwhelming
choice OF the Battersea labor party
branch as their parliamentary cAndi-
date, and the national labor party con-
ference had TO accept him. His con-
structfve ability IN the labor move
ment is further attested by the invi-
tations which come 10 him every week

Do you think if you were told to play,
study or do whatever you prefer thru
out the year, except for 40 days, that
this would be bad? The boys in the
Treasure Island engage in fishing in
dustry only. This is custom adopt
ed from the remote past, and 40 days
OF fishing season in the summer time,
is more than enough to supply the
whole population of the land. That Is
so because they do not have any peo-
pie called capitalists who swallow
more than they can produce.
The lockwood industry being COM
paratively new to the island, girls are
entrusted to take care OF the forest

plants which may happen to grow by

THE SOVIET TRADE UNIONS
AT THE SIXTH ALL-RUSSIAN
TRADE UNION CONGRESS

THE report made by comrade
DOsadoV, secretary Of the ALI
Russian Central Council of
Trade Unions. at the Sixth Trade
Union Congress on November Il,
gives the following picture of the
present status and work Of the
trade unions Of the u. S. s. r.
The first notable thing Is the In
crease Of the trade union member
ship. Two years ago. at the time
of the Fifth Congress, the AIl-Rus-
sian Central Council OF Trade IN
ions had an afliIiated membership
of 4,547 600; now at the Sixth
Congress, the membership has
reached 6,o0o,o0O. This member
ship comprises 81 per cent Of man
uaI workers and 80 per cent of
brain and Office workers. The per
cent of women members has de-
creased since the Fifth Congress
from % to "a per cent, the num-
Der Of young workers has been
lowered from 81 per cent to 81
per cent. However, this was not
due to an actual decrease of wo-
men and young members, but to
the greater rate of increase of
male members. There are only
391 900 workers who are not men,
bers Of the trade unions, thus
making up 8 per cent Of unor1an-
lied workers In Soviet Russia.
The unorganized belong chiefly to
trades in which the work is large

working class appeal for information
Il solidarity. Naturally this was bound
10 create a psychology among many
British workers which allowed them
70 be stampeded by the false zinoviev
letter. Macdonald bungled his end of
the matter and It cost the labor party
working class votes. While labor
polled a million more votes this time
than at the previous election, it must
be remembered that there were So
more parliamentary candidates in the
field, which gave many an opportunity
to vote labor who had never had 1t
before. am convinced that had Mac
Donald and the leaders acted with de-
cision and courage on the vital tissues
of the campaign, even with their bad
record in Office, we would not have
lost the seats we did and probably
would have gained"
THAT labor's participation in par
1 liamentary action must lead to the
acceptance Of the Communist position
was a point which Saklatvala said
should be emphasized repeatedly. The
policy Of the labor party in fishing for
midde-elass and liberal votes-refus-
ing to discuss the capital levy in one
district-the Russian treaty in a sec
prohibition in third, etc, could
only make for confusion and defeat OF
the real purpose of working class poll
teal action Already the lure of place
and preferment in government am
public life was making itself felt anC
the political wing of labor was being
over-emphasized to the weakening o.
the industrial wing. The workers
were being told they must get along
amicably with their employers-there
were no real differences which could
not be settled between them without
strikes and disruption. There were
men in the labor party-high up in its
counsels-preaching this doctrine OF
class-collaboration in their desire for
recognition by business people as
constructive labor leaders" worthy OF
high Office.
CAKLATvALA'S parting word was,
o-Labor must learn to be absolutely
honest with itself. 1t blames its reac-
