the capitalists who financed his disastrous pri-
mary campaign of 1920 to the extent of two
million dollars is lauded and Endorsed by the
President.
The Coolidge message on the Philippine ques-
ton is a challenge and a warning to the Filipino
people and to the American working and farm
ing masses. The brazen effrontery of our Puri-
tanic president, his attempt to terrorize the
Filipino people into submission to the autocrat
Wood-are merely desperate efforts to stop the
Filipinos from fighting for their national free
dom and from exposing General Woods guilt in
numerous scandals in his administration of the
Islands that would put the oil steal to shame
The refusal Of the Administration to give
the Philippines the national freedom which
should be theirs should be signal for all our
workers and farmers to line up solidly with our
Filipino brothers to smash the clique of Amer
lean capitalist Shylocks demanding their pound
of flesh from the oppressed Filipino nation. 1t
is the sacred duty of every workers and farm
ers organization to denounce the Coolidge at
tack on the Filipinos as an attack on the Amer
lean working masses.

Get Real Investigators

When Senator Walsh was away from Wash
ington recently many became disturbed over the
manner in which the Committee on Public Lands
was conducting its investigation of the oil
scandals.
The situation has not changed fundamentally
since the return to the Capital of the senior
Senator from Montana. The fact of the matter
is that the Committee on Public Lands is emf
nently untitled for the task it is now charged
with. If the country is to be given thoro-
going investigation of the whole rotten affair,
if the country is not to be denied the undluted
truth about this gigantic steal then the Com
mittee on Public Lands should Immediately be
discharged from the duty of going on with the
investigation.
AS its personnel stands today, the Public
Lands Committee is burdened with such Sem
ators as Lenroot and Smoot. Lenroot from
Wisconsin is chairman. He has already shown
himself to be distinctly preiudiced in favor Of
the corruptionists who have been despoiling the
country's resources. He has been found to be
informing the McLeans, the Falls and their
lickspittles, thru circuitous and devious chan
nels it is true of the plans of the investigating
committee.
Then there is Smoot, than whom there is no
worse CRATER and corruptionist. The Senator
from Utah has been caught red-handed passing
notes to Doheny at the very moment while he
was supposed to be investigating Doheny about
shady oil deals. This Latter-Day Saint of the
Mormon Church has been involved in enough
scandals to make the Sinclairs and Dohenys
blush with shame. We still remember his tariff
steal in behalf of the sugar interests.
There can be no effective, real housekeeping,
all the talk about it to the contrary notwith-
standing, until the present Public Lands Com
mittee itself is subject to some thoro house
cleaning. The country has no confidence in the
honesty and purpose of more than one of the
members of the Committee now investigating
the Teapot scandal We must have new COM
mittee chosen to prosecute the investigation.
We must have committee that will not allow
any of its members to work in collision with
the criminals to be tried and that will resolutely
set itself to ferreting out the thieves no matter
how high up they may be in the Cabinet, the
Stock Exchange, or the White House.

The frantic appeal that Hiram Johnson is
making for the republican presidential NOM
ination and his renewed claims to progressiv-
ism once more bring to the fore the cases of
Mooney and Billings now rotting in California
jais.
The cases of Mooney and Billings present
the most elaborate and outrageous frame-up
perpetrated by the capitalist class and its gov
eminent in all the dark annals Of workingcass
persecution in America.
For nearly eight years Tom Mooney, the
valiant fighter of the workingclass, has been
in California dungeon Both Mooney and
Billings have been shown to be innocent, to
be completely innocent of any connection with
the preparedness bomb explosion. This case
has assumed an international significance, as
the demonstration by the Petrograd workers
for Moneys freedom indicated.
-Four of the witnesses whose evidence en-
abled the courts to frame Mooney and Billings
have confessed perjury since. The Judge who
sentenced Mooney to be hanged has recon-
mended new trial. The attorney general Of
California, federal mediation commission.
and Mr. Densmore, the director of the United
States Employment Bureau, have concurred in
this recommendation. The innocence of Bill
lngs was established long ago. District attor-
ney Brady who succeeded the notorious Flick
ert declared more than two years ago that
Mooney and Billings couldn't be convicted in
new trial. Yet, he is still langushing in the
filthy Folsom jail and Mooney in the San
Quentin prison.
But no governor of the state has ever dared
to free these innocent workers The State of
California is in the grip of ruthless industrial
interests who see in Mooney and Billings their
mortal enemies and therefore keep them i'm
prisoned. Only Senator Hiram Johnson can
help move these powerful capitalist magnates.
However, Hiram johnson is not doing thing
to free the innocent workingmen. Today the
guilt of the suffering and the continued impri-
sonment of Mooney and Billings is to be
fastened on the head Of Hiram johnson who
can secure their freedom with very little effort.

she subdued this feeling of instinc-

the railing, straining to guess at
the still indistinct outlines of the
dark object. She came nearer;
her feet sank in the deep snow,
and suddenly, somehow all at once,
she saw, recognized, and with
low cry sank on the ground.
Clothes torn to pieces, so that
the blue naked body showed thru;
a woman's clothes, a woman's
body; dark wound above the ex-

naked hands and uncovered face;
tightly screwed up eyes, bitten
lips, disordered hair, loose and
trodden into the snow. 1t was the
face of Simkova.
Lisa did not scream now, did
not weep, but crept over the damp
snow to the body, raised the dead
head and touched the cold cheeks
with the palms of her hands.
And the sky grew blue to the
zenith, and color poured over
everything, the little. houses of the
outskirts, the. brown road and the
grey trees. One side of the sky
turned ruby, brighter and brighter,
just as if a bonfire had been lit
there and was blazing up. From
over there the sun would shine out,
and a pure, almost impercepGble
rosy reflection was added to the
blue-white of the snowdrifts and
the roofs of the houses.

revulsion and anguish, that pale
face with the dead, screwed up

The Russian Communist Party
branch is governing this frontier
city and fighting the counter
revolution. Earlier installments
tell of the fuel shortage that pre-
vents seed grain from being
fetched on the railroad. The Party
meeting decides to send the Red
Army far away for fuel, at the
risk of leaving the city open for
bandits and counter-revolution
1t also decides to conscript the
local bourgeoisie for wood cutting
in a nearby park. Varied types
of party members are flashed on
the screen: Klimin, the efficient
president of the branch, who still
finds time to have a sweetheart:
Robeiko, the consumptive, whose
devotion is killing him; Gornuikh,
the brilliant youth of 10 on the
Cheka; Matusenko, the luxury
loving place-hunter and Stalmak-
how, practical worlingman revo-
lutionist. Gornuikh, disguised as
peasant, overhears talk in the
market place about a plot of
counter-revolutionists to seize the
town while the Red Army is away
getting wood. The Communist
company is summoned. The last
issue tells of the counter-revolu-
tionists numbering Robeiko before
the eyes of the delicate little school
teacher Lisa. She rushes out over
