war. He hoped he could get some
of the other boys who were fight
ing to turn against the war and
fight the bosses instead.
In the real war, the boy, who
was now a young man, did get
hurt. He wasn't a tin soldier. His
bosses, who wanted to make more
money selling war goods, didn't
care because he got hurt. They
didn't care when lot of the boys
soldier comrades were killed.
The boy told many Of his sold
Ter comrades that they should not
fight against other men like them
selves who were in trenches, in
holes in the earth, not far away.
The boy said to the soldiers, eve
are all working men. We have
nothing but the hard work to do
all the time. We have to work all
day at home for the bosses to
make them rich while we al
ways stay poor. We have to go
to war and shoot at other work
ing men. DO you think that is
right?"
And the soldiers said, "No, il
isn't right" and that they would
never fight other workers again.
Then a bullet came whizzing
thru the air and hit the boy who
had grown up and he fell down
dead. He was not a tin soldier
and the little piece of lead cut
right into his soft warm flesh and
tore a hole in his heart so that ii
could not beat anymore.
The soldier died, and so did
many of his friends. But those
that didn't die have been telling
other workers not to go to war
for the bosses but to fght
against the bosses and make
,oorkers free all orer the toorld.

the editorial continues: "In the reso-

vention, the committee discussed the
advisability of a plank on the Khan.
Mr.. Marley, who was the chairman of
the committee, stated that in localities
where labor is organized the Khan is

where labor is not strongly organized
it is open shop and that nothing

BY JOSEPH MANLEY

In recent issue of the New Leader,
of which James O'Neal is editor, an
editorial appeared under the caption
"Kluxers and Kommunists," in which
he seeks, by a fabrication originating
in his own renegade and morbid mag
ination, to connect me with the Ku
Klux Khan.
The editorial in typical O'Neal, left
handed" style recites the breakup of
the socialist party, blaming it upon
the Communists, and indicating that
the Communists have undertaken a
wholesale campaign of destruction of
the socialists and labor movements in
every country" These things
being so, to point out facts bearing
out that line of action is the plain
duty of the socialist press" Follow

up the above fabrication. Such one
perhaps as his man Nathan Fine, form
erly student at the University Of
Chicago, who now seeking to escape
useful work is selling himself to the
cause of that latest godsend of cast
off trade union bureaucrats, former
socialists and ex-peddlers of Clown

From such sources as this reporter, .
O'Neal, probably gathers his facts. F"
Fellows Try to Save Khan.
The real facts are: l was chairman
of the st. Paul convention platform.
Just when the committee was getting
ready to report to the convention,
some progressives appeared before it
to try to butcher the platform, by
taking out such radical planks as
Land for it's Users" because it
might antagonize LaFollette." In the
midst of the heated discussion that
ensued some reporters came shopping
into the committee meeting. / ordered
them out. l insisted that we could
not white down our platform to suit
the meaningless one, which Walter T.
Mills, and other supporters of LaFol-
lette and the c. P. P. A., wanted to
substitute for it, A majority of the
committee decided that neither could
we agree to take out certain planks,
which the reporters dubbed as Dol
skevistic."
Communist Resolution Hits Khan.
Following this decision two resolu-
tions were introduced, both dealing
with the Ku Klux Khan. the most radi-
cal one of the two, calling for an out
right denunciation of the Khan, was
introduced by Ludwig Lore. Discus
sion occurred on both resolutions. AS
Chairman of the committee l invited
our Comrade, Stanley ]. Clark, who
was present tho not member of the
committee, to address the committee
"as the best anti-Klan expert in the
country" Several progressive non
Communists on the committee, one of
them a trade union representative and
the other a Socialist" spoke against
adopting the resolutions.

AS chairman of the committee, /

York to PROMOTE made my own un-
alterable opposition to the Khan as
plain as my alien English would al
low. The few other communists on the
committee did the same. Shortly
afterwards the demand was made
upon the committee by the convention
that had been impatiently waiting for
the report, that the platform be forth
with presented. No vote on the reso,
lutions was taken as the majority OF
the committee, who we're progress
sives and non-Communist. stated that
they would vote against It in commit

I'VE further find that no adequate

Alaskan fishing and especially
salmon is one of the nations greatest

there have never been any govern

cleanliness, purity and wholesome

action taken along these lines that the
Grand Jury is aware Of Is that in rare
cases where the fish ara decayed be-
fore they are packed, parts Of the pack
have been condemned.
Many Of the matters and condi-
tions set forth demand legal action
and prosecution, but this Grand Jury
did not convene until after the crews
had departed FROM the fishing fields
and scattered throughout the country
and it was imposiblt. except in few
instances to obtain the necessary proof
for conviction, but we have not the
slightest doubt that conditions are as
bad as set forth above and worse"

zone instance Is reported where a
man in the advanced stage OF syphi-
lis, and having ulcers therefrom an
over his body, was employed in press
ing the fish down into the cans With
his hands which were protected only
with cotton gloves. Another instance
is reported where . member Of the
China crew was allowed by the COM
pany s1.00 per day to buy narcotics
on the plea that If he did not obtain
the narcotics he would not and could
not work.
eve wish to call the courts atten-
ton to the fact that ct the present
term here are two cases of homicide
and three cases Of assault with dead
ly weapons and other crimes origin
ating among cannery help imported
by the canneries, which will cost the
government many thousands Of dol
lars in prosecution.
Unfit Food Cause Labor Trouble
Owe also beg TO suggest that an
other source Of trouble in the can
neries appears to be the quality Of
food furnished and fed to the China
crews by Oriental contractors in the
employ of the canneries. Some of the
crime and much Of the trouble orig
mating in the cannery districts has
been through strikes on account of
China crews. One of these food
strikes terminated in the killing of
one man and the wounding of two
others.
Evidence has been adduced before
us showing that a comon practice in
many OF the cities of the Pacific
Coast is to release men serving terms
in Jail to come north to the canneries,
which results in unloading upon the
territory of Alaska an undesirable and
criminal class.
In brief, we find conditions in the
Bristol Bay District most deplorable
and alarming, especially with regards
to narcotics and bringing in of fire
arms by Oriental foremen and men,
bers OF the China crews.
Abuses Due To "SIop Chest"
I'VE also beg to report that 1t ap-
pears from our investigations that on
account Of the poor food furnished by
many Of the contractors, the men are
forced to supplement their rations with
purchases from the commisary, or
what is know mas the 'slop chest
which are sold to them by the fore
men of the China gangs and Oriental
contractors at exorbitant prices. Many
cases are reported where the earnings
OF the men were consumed in pur
chases of food to supplement- the de-
ficiency of rations and when the men
finished the season and returned to
the states, they were indebted to the
companies.
I'VE further wish to call the courts
attention to the nature of contract un-
der which these men are employed
and which they are compelled to sign
before leaving port in the states to
go to the fishing fields. These con-
tracts leave the men at the entire
mercy Of the Oriental contractors and
under their terms slight infractions
OF onerous regulations will and
do result in penalties which consume

other authority. They were kept in
communicate in jail for over twenty
four hours, although the law provides
that no one can be held over twenty
four hours without a warrant, and
these forty-seven men were crowded
into three small cells containing six
cots.
Amount Of Bonds Reduced
Originally all of the strikers were
held under five thousand dollar bonds
each. When the grand jury first
found additional indictments the
bonds of those indicted were in
creased to ten thousand dollars each.
Finally all of those arrested had had
true bills found against them, and
then came most extraordinary event
for, after the county prosecutor had
secured true bills from the grand
jury against every one arrested, all
of the bonds were reduce; the highest
being placed at five thousand dollars
and number as low as one thousand.
The reducing Of these bonds, and
the various amounts set, constitute
the clearest evidence that the author
tiles are beginning to doubt the guilt
of those accused, and to realize that
some one in authority had Numbered
and Numbered most seriously.
The grounds for. believing that
some one in authority Numbered, or
perhaps is responsible for something
much more sinister than a blunder,
are being uncovered for, among other
things, direct connection between the
prosecuting attorney and the Nation
al Steel Casting Company, of Mont
pelier, has been established.
Prosecutor Represented Foundry.
The strike was precipitated by the
discharge of all the union members
in the steel foundry of the casting
company. Sometime afterwards the
company applied for and secured an
injunction against the strikers, and
one of the attorneys representing the
company in court was Hugh D. Mad
dox, who is also county prosecutor.
This fact may serve to indicate one
Of the reasons for the unlawful meth
cd of the arrests and the inhuman
conditions inflicted upon the strik-
ers after they had been placed in Jail.
The conditions connected with the
arrests and the treatment of the strik-
ers have been such that not only state
but federal authorities have been
sufficiently Interested to make indie
pendent Investigations. Firmly be-
lieving that the county authorities
were either incompetent, prejudiced.
or both, the International Molders'
Union requested federal investigation
and this investigation is now being
made. Information seeping out from
county officials indicate that coun-
ty authorities and others are of the
opinion that citizens as innocent of
the crime as new born babes, have
been arrested and jailed under cir
cumstances which if committed in
any other country would lead Ameri-
cans to accuse that nation of bar
barism.
The outstanding features of the
case at present are the unlawful
method of the arrests, and the un-
lawful detention of the striking mold
ers in the beginning, and the utterly
inhuman, calloused manner in which
many of them have been treated by
the authorities.

happened to Woodrow Wilson while
he was participating in making the
treaty of peace in Paris in that his
toric winter Of 1~918-1919. 1t would
require another volume to tell the
engrossing story of diplomatic ma
~noeuvers, intrigues and dramatic
moments that attended it. Publica-
ton of either at this time probably
would result in the creation of An
nanias clubs on both sides of the At
lantic and certainly would not add
to good feeling among people who
are looking forward to an end of
wars and an era Of peace.
Woodrow Wilson himself would
not wish it. When, in 1920, he ac-
cepted the Nobel peace prize for be-
ing "the person who has promoted
most or best the fraternity of nations
and the adjustment or diminution
of standing armies and the forma-
ton and increase of peace con-
crosses, he said:
"The cause of peace and the cause
Of truth are of n family. What
ave has been accomplished in the
past is petty compared to the glory
of the promise of the future"
Woodrow Wilson lived his last
years and died in "the glory of the
future" confident that right as he
saw it would ultimately prevail. He
never lost faith in the league of ma
tiOns. but he lost faith in soua of
the human beings who were its in
evitable elements.
He closed his eyes confident that
as a man of letters and a president
ne had done his best for humanity
but that his best was not all that he
might have wished.
Time alone can write his epitaph.
