THOUSANDS OF
WORKERS LOCKED
OUT IN NORWAY
Communist Papers Are
Fined for Strike Support
By DIR. KARL F. M. sANDBERC

By DR.. KARL F. M. SANDBERG
A general lockout was declared in
Kristiania on Feb. %, by the en-
ployers association. 1t has been d.
vided in two sections. the first one
comprising the building, textile, to-
bacco, tailor, woodworking, furniture,
explosive and metal mining industries
with some $4,000 men, takes effect
at once, the second one, involving
workers in the breweries, chocolate
factories, electro-chemical industry,
Norwegian Hydro, sawmills and the
bookbinderies, some 1900 men, be-
comes effective a week later. It is
considered strategical move against
the 5000 striking iron and trans
port workers, who have been out for
some time. 5000 workers in the
paper, cellulose and wood pulp in
dustry have declared strike in SYM
pathy with those locked out. Of the
F. of LIS 100000 members $780,
600 only are working, about 10000
on strike or locked out.
Students Becoming Radical.
The students of the University of
Kristiania have elected a communist
president Of their society and an
executive committee on communist
platform. Some students having
acted as strikebreakers in the trans
port workers. strike, the society re-
solved that none of its members may
serve as strikebreakers. Olav
Schefio spoke before the society on
Lenin and Leninism. The technical
school is located at Trondhjem, Mar
tin Tranmael spoke before the stu
dents society there on Dictatorship"
He pointed out that engineers sooner
or later would have to choose between
capitalist dictatorship and proletarian
dictatorship.
Some farmers from Haus and Fame
having worked as strike-breakers, the
Bergen Creamery resolved not to &C
cept any more milk from them.
Tranmael and Schefo, respective
leaders Of the two communist fac
tions, have been found guilty of
"praising an outlaw strike" in their
papers and sentenced to a fine of
500 kr. each.
Cost of Living.
The Gold Custom Law has been
passed by the Storting, SO votes for,
AZ against. Customs will now have
to be paid in gold. There is no gold
in circulation. The Bank of Norway
is exempt from redeeming its notes
in gold and they are worth less than
half. A duty of one crown will mean
more than two of paper. The result
will be higher duties and higher
prices. A general protest was
raised against the law.
The Bergen Steamship Company
will in the near future open regular
line on the Black Sea. The Norge
Mexico Gulf Line in connection with
the Swedish-America-M exico Line
and the Swedish line Transatlantic"
will commence monthly sailings be-
tween American Gulf harbors and
Petrograd. The first boat, "Dela-
ware" will load the last part of
March.

Big Communist Vote
In CzechOsIOUakid:
Elect Nine Deputies

ROSICE, Czechoslovakia, March %.
Results of general elections in
Ruthenia show that the Communist
party has received 100000 Of the to-
tai 250.000 votes cast. OF nine deputies
thus elected to parliament the Social
Democrats, Agrarians, Trudova and
Hungarian Nationalist parties each
have one, while the Communists have
five. The Communists will also send
two representatives OF Ruthenia into
the senate.
Ruthenia is an autonomous province
Of Czechoslovakia, possessing Tx
ranian culture. Situated among the
foothills Of the Carpathians, this ter
ritory has passed thru a stormy ca
reer during recent years. II was oc-
cupied by the Magyar red army dur
ing the Hungarian Commune, and It
is largely the influence Of those days,
coupled with the lingering feudal des-
potism, that has strengthened the
Communist following. Despite its adj
herence to the Czechoslovak republic.
Ruthenia has remained in the hands
Of few absentee landlords, who keep
the native foresters, peasants and
lumbcrjacks in serfdom.

Hall in Protest
At Scheiden,nSin

CASSEL, Germany, March o.
Philip Scheidemann, who Loyalty
supported his kaiser during the war
and who, with President Ebert, is
largely credited with having prevent
ed Germany from becoming work
ers' state after the revolution, is
chief mayor Of Cassel. Cassel was
chosen as the convention city this
year for the German Metal Workers
union, the largest single union in the
world.
Scheidemann, as mayor, arose on
the first day of the convention to ex-
tend the greetings Of the city to the
metal workers. Thereupon the Com
munists, who number little more
than one-third Of the entire member
ship Of the union, arose az a man and
left the hall.

Comrades, we must strive to build
mass party in this country. Our
Party is numerically weak, consid-
ering the Importance industrially,
financially and otherwise, of this
country, and the millions Of workers
engaged in the class struggle here.
We must put forth special efforts
to inaugurate the above outlined
campaign between the period of
April LIST to July list, by which time
it ought to be a more or less firmly
established institution of the Party
and then continued indefinitely. This
is possible because no great efforts
are called for insofar as the units
of the Party are concerned.
Let us show that we are the or

Forward towards the goal Of
doubling our membership by the

SOCIALIST PARTY
IN OKLAH 0 MA
HAS SIX MEMBERS
Workers and Farmers
Prepare for Action
By DAVID COBB.

NGpeclhA TO Inc DAiAy WOhNokJ
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, March
PA few years ago, the State So
cialist convention of Oklahoma was
a big event. Several hundred dele
gates from all over the state at
tended. There was life, there was
earnestness, there was enthusiasm,
then.
But in 1915, the party began to
dwindle, and gradually lost in mem
bership, till in 1921, the dues-payinR
members had fallen far below the
required number to retain charter,
and for that reason Otto Branstetter,
the National Secretary revoked the
state charter.
In 1922, the National Secretary
called state convention to assemble
on April 8, in Oklahoma City for the,
purpose Of recognizing the party.
In response to this call fifty-six dele
gates met, paid their dues and re-
organized the party. We started out
on the political campaign. But the
old comrades who had formerly
furnished the finance necessary to
carry on campaign failed to render
any substantial assistance In any
way. Our vote had dwindled to five
thousand in the state. In 1914, be-
fore woman suffrage, we cast fifty
two thousand votes. We said then
Oklahoma will be the first state in
the Socialist column.
Again late in 1922, E. H. H. Gates
assembled a part Of the Socialist
Local of Oklahoma City together and
over the protest Of the State Execu-
tive committee called state wide
convention in Oklahoma City for the
last of December. The convention
which met pursuant to this call was
composed of something like fifteen
qualified delegates. Another Social
list convention of Oklahoma, met
again on March 9, Of this year, with
exactly six paid-up dues paying MEM
bers. Four of these were from the
city, two from the country, and three
out of the city were from one family.
Truly it may be said, Show the
Mighty Has Fallen"
1t is a joke pure and simple, every
one knows there is no such thing as
a Socialist party in Oklahoma.
The time was never ripper, the psy-
chology of the farmers and laborers
never better to organize real class
farmer-labor party, than now. The
Socialists have lost faith in doing any
thing thru the old Socialist party.
The entire group composed of So
cialists, progressive Democrats and
Republicans who attempted to work
thru the Democrat party are dis
satisfied with results. and have lost
faith in the idea that they can effect
ually use to their benefit the Demo-
crat machinery. say the entire
group, but / must make one excep-
ton, the professional politician in the
ranks.
Heretofore the law has prohibited
farmer-labor party as such in this
state. This defect has been cured by
the passage, on March Is, of a bill
which will recognize Farmer-Labor
party as legal political party, and
the names Of their candidate can now
be printed on the official ballot
Such a party will be organized in
very short time and you may look
for big things from Oklahoma.

REPRESENTATIVE

WHEN it takes hard work for the
w people of Kennewick to keep a
man like Mark M. Moulton in the leg
islature, we are of the opinion that
it is just about time to quit and turn
all the interests of Benton county
over to the people of Prosser.
Mr.. Moulton, with great sacrifice
to his personal affairs, has most ably
represented this county, yet the peo-
pie at the county seat seem deter
mined to replace him with an mex
perienced man. We realize that many
Prosser people admire Mr.. Moulton
and only oppose him for geographi-
cal reasons, yet when these reasons
seem to so disturb the Prosser mind
that they cast a big, almost solid
vote against Moulton, and it at the
same time requires strenuous eff
fort by few men to even get local
people to go to the polls, we believe
it just about time to give up the
ghost.
After such strenuous primary ef-
fort by Prosser, to defeat Moulton
it is needless to say that they have
also made plans to continue the fight
by writing in the name of some DEM
ocrat to run in November.
Outside of Prosser, Mr.. Moulton
is appreciated as was indicated by
the majority in all the precincts. In
the outlying districts the voters were
not handicapped by local prejudice, so
they cast their votes in the interest
of Benton county.
