be picked up by the politicians and
union bureaucrats who viii dominate
the July gathering. They were
willing to take the risk of wrecking
the whole movement for a class
farmer-labor party in order to ac-
complish this purpose.
Meeting with no success IN st.
Paul because their tactics and the
the motives that prompted them were
we'll understood by the real represen-
tatives Of the Northwest Farmer-La-
Dor movement who, however, accord
ed them the courtesy of listening pa
tiently to every lie, misrepresenta-
ton, SANDER, innuendo and jesuitical
argument they had to lay before the
conference, this group then went to
Minneapolis, and, forming another
united front with the most reaction
airy section Of the Minnesota labor
and farmer movement, hung around
the fringe of the powerful organiza-
ton that was taking form and peddled
their poison to everyone that would
listen.
United Front Of Reaction.
During the three conferences that
were held in Minneapolis following
the st. Paul meeting, the conferences
that brought unity in the labor
farmer movement in Minnesota, these
free-lance apostles of policy of tim
idity and hesitation, were seen with
such obstructionists and careerists as
Baldus and Thomson Of the new de-
funct non-partisan league, Parsons
and Vandenberg, meal-ticket artists
and takers par excellence, in short
they co-operated to the best of their
ability with the Van Lear-Townley
clique that prostituted the Mime
sofa Daily Star and did its best to
make the Minnesota movement tail
to the political kite of spineless and
crooked office-seekers.
William v. Mahoney of Washing
ton, even journeyed to st. Cloud and
continued his scandal-mongering at
the convention of the official Farmer
Labor party Of Minnesota until he
was squelched by William Mahoney
of st. Paul, chairman of the farmer
labor federation of Minnesota.
The report published in the New
Majority is therefore sadly lacking
in both detail and truth. Were it a
truthful record of what took place in
Minnesota it would state that the
men who signed it and two of their
allies already named, at time when
great coalition of the working class
forces of the Northwest was taking
shape, deliberately sabotaged the
unity process as well as they could
land that their activities were source

THE OTHER DAY, travelling
Il down thru France, on the, Riviera
express, fate and fortune were so
good as to project me, suitably
equipped with non-comittal guide
books and literature, into a compart-
ment in which were two ex-officers,
one Italian and the other British.
We got into conversation which be-
came, TO- say the least, interesting.
It started with the franc. It went
on to the pound. 1t embraced the
Labor government, and the guards
man became still more interesting.
The Italian proved to be a Fascist.
They grew communicative. / smiled
my sympathy and my encourage
ment.
Fascism-The Cult.
My compatriot was engagingly
frank. Fascism is the thing and
matters are going ON very nicely.
1t is the cult in the regimental
messes and in the West End clubs.
One Of these days, and bAfore so
very long something is to happen to
"those damned fellows from the
Clyde" They will be taught salu-
tary lesson. It win be rather "a
rag, don't you know -. "We are
going to have no Bolshevism in
England"
Now, this weekend one finds in
the reactionary press a chorus of
denunciation of Wheatley, torrents
of abuse of the Clyde men, violent
attacks upon the Communists of
Poplar. The whole of the Conserva-
tives and very large section of the
Liberals are rallying against Wheat
ley and his Interpretation by an
executive act Of the whole case of
the left wing elements in what az
fects the treatment Of the unem-
ployed worker.
Wheatley intends to force the
pace. The issue he has raised
makes a direct and immediate APP
peal to the great masses Of the un-

ID OBERT M. BUCK and j. G.
N Brown, for the group calling it.
self the National Farmer-Labor Party,
in the New Majority for March ~, ex-
plain the position Of that almost de-
funct organization relative to the re-
cent Minnesota conferences, the June
II convention, the July conference,
the Communist bugaboo and many
other things.
To Correct False Impressions.
II is solely for the purpose Of
clearing up any false impressions
created by the gentlemen mentioned
above that this article is written.
Their expressions of despair at and
disappointment with the outcome of
the Minnesota conference are merely
an extension of the attitude they as
sumed at these important meetings
and it is therefore necessary to state
clearly what that attitude was and
what the delegates to the Minnesota
conferences represented. Neither
from the article in the New Majority
on the Minnesota conferences signed
by Robert M. Buck nor from the Of
fetal report of Buck and Brown as
delegates can be learned the fact
that every conference and convention
beginning with the St. Paul meeting
of the Farmer-Labor party represen-
tatives from seven states on March
10, to the convention of the Mime
sofa Farmer-Labor party on March
Ia, represented by delegates of func-
tioning Farmer-Labor parties and
economic organizations, hundreds of
thousands of workers and farmers
These delegates had been elected
by their organizations for the specific
purpose of passing upon the advisa-
bility of calling great convention of
delegates from labor unions, working
class political parties, cooperative
societies, ETC., and organizing these
forces on the political field.
The organizations represented at
the Minnesota conferences were those
which had committed themselves to a
political party separate and distinct
from the parties of American CAPT
talism and whose attitude towards in
dependent political action was not
predicated upon the bolt of one or
more progressives from the old par
ties but adopted as the fundamental
principle of political action for a
mass party of workers and farmers.
Authoritative Gathering.
The st. Paul conference was a
inundated body. Every delegate came
with authority to make decisions on
behalf Of his organization and repre-
scented there were the Western Prog

ressive Farmers of Washingtsn I'll, the
Farmer-Labor parties Of Washington,
Montana, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, the Progressive party Of Ne
braska, the Farmer Labor Federation
Of Minnesota, the local party If Buff
falo, N. ", and the Federated Farm
er-Labor party. In addition to these
bona fide parties there were the Ma
tioral Farmer-Labor party of Amer
ica--a party in name only, without
members OF even good mailing list
represented by Buck and Brown;
the seeding Illinois faction Of this
same organization represented by
Rodriguez and Clifford Ernst and a
non-existent labor party in Washing
ton, d. c., represented by one Will
liam v. Mahoney.
The vote against holding the pro-
posed convention on June Ills given
by Buck as IL to 6 without any ex-
PLANTATION of its character. It is
enough to say here that Rodriguez,
Ernst, Buck, Brown, William V. Ma
honey of Washington, d. c., with one
Minnesota delegate voted in opposi-
ton with the obvious corollary that
the June IL convention was favored
by all of the bona fide farmer-labor
parties outside Of Minnesota and by
half Of the Minnesota delegation. 1t
should be noted also that the seces-
sion Of Rodriguez and Ernst gave the
National" Farmer-Labor party two
more votes-a total of four, one for
each member.
This gives the lie to the statements
made and reiterated by Buck and
Brown to the effect that it was Com
munist control that forced the setting
of the convention date. As a Com
munist / wish that this were true, but
the facts are otherwise.
The truth of the matter is and
Everybody who attended the Mime
sofa conferences knows it, that Buck
and Brown, united for the purpose
with Rodriguez and Ernst, came to
st. Paul, not to work for unity in the
Farmer-Labor ranks, but to destroy
the movement for a class Farmer
Labor party in the interests of the
Conference for Progressive Political
Action and the middle class elements
which the oficialdom Of that organ
ization follows.
Destructionist Efforts.
This group, representing nothing
and nobody but themselves since they
bolted the July 3rd convention, tried
to scare the other elements in the
conferences with the threadbare tales
of the Communist menace, disrupt
the northwest movement and leave
nothing but scattered fragments tc

SUES RENT BOARD.
Apartment Owner Seeks Injunction
to Prevent Ruling.

Declaring that the Rent Commis-
sion is about to issue a determination
fixing rentals in Clifton Terrace and
the St Mihiel apartments, owned by
him, in unlawful invasion and inter-
ference with his right OF property,
Thomas w. Stubblefield today filed

an injunction against the members Of
the District Rent Commission. Hear
ing on a motion by his attorney, Will
liam ]. Dow, for a temporary injunc-
ton has been scheduled for Friday.
May 20.
Mr.. Stubblefield relies on the deci-
sion of the United States Supreme
Court in the Chastleton case, and
cites the recent action of Justice
Stafford in granting similar injunc-
ton in the Norment case. He points
out that the housing emergency has
passed, as is evidenced by more than
1900 vacancies in apartments. dwell
ings and rooms in the city available

rentals has not kept pace with the
increased costs in other living ex-
