tionary Officials had the right to ap-
peal their case to the general presi-
dent within thirty days and that in
the meantime they should remain
members Of the union without how
ever the right TO vote or participate
in union proceedings.
Trying to Fool Members,
As the action against the expelled
members was taken on the instruc,
tions of Hutcheson, it is quite obvious
that this is only a smooth trick in or
der TO railroad them out of the or
ganization with something like an air
OF legality. The moderate tone adopt
ed in the Hutcheson letter was for
the purpose of pacifying the member
ship.
Wise to Faker's Tricks.
The tricks of the arch faker
Hutcheson, are well known TO the
members of Local lS1 and they see
beneath the velvet glove the iron fist
of reaction. The sentiment in favor
Of the expelled members is increasing
and the reactionaries will learn that
they have bitten off more than they
chew when they illegally railroaded
loyal union men for standing up for
the principles Of working class solid
arity in fighting scabbery and united
front with the bosses, the enemies Of
the workers.

against them by Judge Carpenter.
Gompers is characterized as the

to power and influence and had not

began TO cIamor for some policy on
Soviet Russia did not Secretary Of
state Hughes write a letter to Com

that Sam got an inflated idea OF his

MONARCHlSTS OF

BERLIN, Dec. 16.-Whether the
nationalists are included in the next
cabinet or not is one of the most
widely discussed possibilities in Ger
man politics today. The centrists who
hold the balance of power are afraid
to include the nationalists in the pro-
posed coalition cabinet and what is
still more important, the American
ananciers who hold the strings to the
German money bag do not trust them.
Came Near Victory,
But the nationalist came within
speaking distance of victory in the
recent elections and if they cannot
have their own way, they insist on
making 1t uncomfortable for others.
They are opposed to the Dawes plan,
because it puts capitalist Germany in
humiliating position and reduces her
to the position of colony Of the
other powers. They are not concerned
with its effect on the workers stand
ard Of living.
The nationalists are also cunning
for the head Of the socialist president
of capitalist Germany. Ebert, having
done the dirty work for the capitalists,
has almost reached the limit of his
usefulness TO them. At least they be-
lieve they can get along without him
now.
! He Is charged by the nationalists
and monarchists with being respon-
sible for the munitions workers strike
in January 1918 and is guilty of high
treason. Ludendorff is also after
Ebert's scalp. claiming that the Ger
man revolution which occurred a few
days before the armistice lost Ger
many the war.
Proud OF His PerfIdy,
But Ebert is fighting hard against
the efforts of the monarchists to prove
that he was loyal to the workers. His
counsel read a letter in court, during
the trial OF the presidents libel suit
against q monarchist. written by Won
Hindenburg. In which the latter gives
credit to Ebert for the "unselhshness
with which Herr Ebert Is working as
true German for the salvation of the
nation. forgetting all personal opin-
ions and plans" This letter did much
to prove that Ebert was a faithful
tool OF the capitalist class.

Who Does Everything Well, Is The
 Ideal Pitcher.
 New York, July 25.-'Walter John- son is the ideal pitcher" says Babe Ruth, baseball's greatest slugger.
 Prior to his reign as the King of Swat" Ruth was the premier south- paw pitcher of the American league. All of which qualities him as an ex- pert in judging pitchers.
 The fans think only of Johnson's great speed as pitcher. when as . matter of fact he Is the most finished all-round performer in the major leagues.
 with his speed, Johnson has fine curve, a good slow ball and great change of pace. That's enough for any pitcher.
 Incidentally. Johnson Is probably the best fielding pitcher In the Ameri- can league Washington has five in- fielders with him working.
 Unlike most great pitchers, John son is a fine batsman. He hits 'em hard and is dangerous in the pinch. The averages show him around the 300 mark.
