non-partisan league convention held
in Bismarck a resolution requesting
the recognition Of Soviet Russia was
conveniently buried in committee. On
this occasion particular pains were
taken to ascertain the opinion of the
individual delegates on the Russian
question and practically all agreed
that Russia ought to be recognized
by this country.
Senator Lynn ]. Frazier of North
Dakota who was present at this con-
vention also said in private that the
Soviet government should be accord
ed recognition by the United States.
Yet, despite all this favorable senti-
ment for diplomatic and commercial
relations with Russia, it was not con-
sidered wise" by the league leader
ship to present the resolution to the
convention.
All this shows lack OF courage, and
unwillingness as well to fight on the
side Of the farmers and the workers
and against the capitalists and their

RULED BY
Toilette HITS
AT ALL STRIKES
IF Scabs Are Working
There's No Strike
Especial to The Daily worksr)

MADISON, Wis, February 10-"A
strike is not fully determined by the
action of the workmen, but by the
output of the plant, and, although a
strike has been called, a strike may
not be in effect if the plant continues
to run without reduction of output,
was the opinion of the Wisconsin
supreme court handed down today in
an action by the state against the
West Allis company of Milwaukee.
Moulders at the plant had declared
a strike and the company advertised
for help, but did not announce that a
strike was on, with the result that
officials of the concern were arrested.
Tried in the Milwaukee municipal
court, the officials were held guilty of
violating the statutes and appealed.
The decision today reverses the YER
dict of the lower court.
The ruling is expected to have a
far-reaching effect in labor annals,
and practically annuls the law forbit-
ting employers advertising for work
ers during strikes without stating in
the advertisement that it is a scab
job.

few DELEGATES
At VIC BENGER'S
.C.P.P.A. Meeting
Pre-CMcGgo Gathering
MGneuDer Fails

MILWAUKEE,, Wis.,, Feb. .1o.-Vic-
tor Bergers socialist" machine in
Wisconsin planned grand maneuver.
It was proposed to organize a gigantic
conference in Wisconsin with a large
representation and then come with an
accomplished fact to the national con.
vention Of the conference for progress
sive political action, in Chicago Feb.
Fl, and on this basis demand the form
alton Of a new party.
Holding a four-flush in his hands
Berger made D grand bluff. A large
hall was rented in the auditorium
with a capacity of over 1000 seats;
but on the date of conference only
thirty delegates assembled. This hand
full could hardly be seen among the
hundreds of empty seats.
More than three-quarters of dele,
gates represented the oficialdom Of
the socialist party machine with the
rank and file membership conspicu-
GUS by their absence and with only a
few trade union delegates.
Why Labor was Absent
The handful of delegates huddled
in q corner pfesented very pitiful
and depressing sight. The prediction
of the Workers Party had come true
Ernest Waterman of the socialist
party wanted to know with whom the
socialists were uniting. He wondered
in so many plain words if the social
list party was not making the united
front with itself.
He asked why there were only a
few delegates. To this the chairman
of the conference. Nickerson, replied
laconically ASK me something easy"
Hanley, Of the Wisconsin State Fee
Iteration Of Labor, was more encourag-
ing. He announced that the absence
of delegates is due to a high railroad
fare. But Upterman was not re-
assured since Of the 10 unions in
Milwaukee 81 ape or two wsre pres
ent, and the street car fare of IA cents
did not seem like such heavy bur-
den upon organizations with over
10000 members
Edmund t. Melms of the socialist
party was not dismayed however. He
announced that the next conference
will be called in the balmy summer
weather when the loyal supporters of
the socialist party will be able to ar
rive in their touring cars.
Platform Question Avoided
The Milwaukee Leader announced
that the conference was unanimous
Yet the question of a platform was
not even raised at the conference. A
lone delegate, Miss Keenan,. with a
feminine instinct, felt that something
should be said to conceal that some
thing is rotten in Denmark, so she

were stirring and lively, the solos
fine and the specialties went off
with snap. The curtain unroled
upon background of red. The cho-
rus dressed in red with yellow kerr
chiefs around their necks and with
yellow caps, were grouped around
the Interlocuter, Mrs. Eva Marble.
Just as the orchestra started the
opening song there was great eX-
