asked him why he could not
write out his report and give It to
me. He countered that he had been
instructed to submit report in person
and must carry out the instructions
he had received.
After further argument, seeing that
the matter was going against him, he
cried out:
81 may be starving, and you have
not even asked me whether l had
my lunch" and burst into tears.
The tears of insulted virtue rolling
down his cheeks, accompanied by
all the evidence of a complete break
down because of the lack of conf
dence in his revolutionary honor,
shook me for moment, and / an
swered.
"Give me your telephone number,
and I will take the matter up again
and advise you of the decision"

said. and frightened perceptible.
We parted.
A few hours later l had a friend
call the number which he had given
me and asked what place it was.
"Hotel Commodore" came back the
answer of the telephone operator;
"Mr. Nosovitsky isn't in his room"
The great clever, cunning interna-
tional spy who pretended to be starv-
ing was living at one of the most
expensive hotels in New York.
That was the end of Nosovitsky so
far as any relationship with the Com
munist Party was concerned.

the police were looking for them in
order to place the leadership Of the
party behind prison bars.
We gathered up our literature and
departed, telling Nosovitsky we would
bring his request before the Central
Executive Committee and advise him
later as to its decision.
Since it has a bearing on the later
developments of this story, l want
to remark here that Nosovitsky was
lavish in his offer of entertainment.
He brought forth profusion of boxes
OF candy, nuts, dates, figs, fruits, etc.
which he pressed upon US before we
were able to effect our departure.
In Washington Park.
During the weeks which followed I
heard frequently from Nosovitsky,
who pressed his demand that he an.
pear before the Central Executive
Committee. He sent word and tele-
phoned that he had many important
matters to report which he had been
instructed to tell only to the COM
mittee.
After many urgent calls / finally
agreed to meet him again. The ap-
pointment was made for a certain
bench in Washington Park. Another
comrade accompanied me.
AT this meeting Nosovitsky pleaded
at lenght for the right to appear be-
fore the committee.
Don't you trust me after the work
have done for the movement" he
demanded.

No More Deaf, No More Dumb,

THE Grey Ghost whistles from the rigging,

And the Red Ghost bellows
Where the black coal yelows,
But their words go wasted down the breeze.
For he hears not, speaks not, sees not
He is deaf he is dumb, he is blind
To the jingle of the keys
With their clue to mysteries
That have kept him a captive in his mind.
The Ocean is still for saying,
The Mountains mute for a word,
That the Factories would siren
With escaping steam ON iron
Could the voice of their void be but heard.
But he hears not speaks not sees not
He is deaf, he is blind, he is dumb,
And the Open Sesame,
That would set him prisonfree,
Stumbes on his tongue and will not coma.
The gates are ready to glide open,
The curtain of the sky to RISE
And the Earth her bosom BARE
Flowing milk and honey rare,
For glimpse for glance from his eyeA.
But he hears not, speaks not, sees not
He is deaf he is dumb he is blind,
Living nightshift, like mole,

Nosovitsky the Buffer.

Since that time Nosovitsky has
painted his own picture in the series
OF articles which have been appearing
in the Hearst papers. He has acknow-
lodged, not only that he was a spy
wouking for Scotland Yard and the
United States department Of justice in
the labor and Communist movement,
but also that he tricked his capitalist
employers by palming OF on them
forged documents purporting to give
information about the Communists.
Nosovitsky's picture Of himself,
however, is not complete.
In his story of himself he is the
clever international spy, knowing
everything, forseeing everything
ready for every emergency. He was
able to dupe everybody, Soviet gov
eminent officials and Communist lead
ers, and never once did he make
misstep and expose himself. He is the
perfect hero of romance who comes
out on top in every situation.
So that this legend of Nosovitsky
may not become the established ver-
sion of his relation to the Communist
movement, / want to tell little story
which Nosovitsky carefully omitted
from his narrative. It isn't much to
/, his credit as brainy, uncomfortable,
International spy. 1t will serve to
:, splash, a little the picture of perfec-
ton, which is Nosovitsky's version Of
himself.
Nosovltsky Expelled as Prcvocateur.
My first contact with Nosovitsky
was some time late in November,
1919. The Communist Party of Amer
ica, formed q few months before,
wished to establish contact with the
] International movement and Louis G.
Fraina had been elected 10 60 abroad
for that purpose. Nosovitsky had been
sent from New York by a committee
there, as one able to make the neces-
sary arrangements for Fraina's trip.
With two other members OF the
party l went to confer with him at
the Morrison Hotel.
He met us dressed In Che fun

ocean liner. the part which he was
playing at the time.
Our first talk was about his status
in relation to the party.
NosoVitsky had been expelled from
the Russian section of the party on
suspicion that he was a provoeateur,
some months before. The basis of this
action was his urgent offers Of auto
matte pistols made to the members
Of the leading committee of the
Russian section. He seemed to have
an unlimited supply Of these at this
command and wanted every one to
have one. Since the Communists were
interested in printing their news
papers, books and pamphlets to edu-
cate the workers as to the nature Of
the class struggle, and had no partic-
ular use for automatic pistols under
the existing conditions of the class
struggle, his actions aroused suspi-
cion. There was no definite evidence
against him, but on general principles
he was considered as an undesirable
member Of the party, and was ex-
PEELED.
Nosovitsky offered a batch of docu-
ments, giving his history and work,
in order to exonerate himself. The
committee which had expelled him
thought it might have been mistaken
in its action, and that his assistance
could be accepted in facilitating
Fraina's trip.
Nosovitsky pleaded, that if he was
to help Fraina he must be reinstated
as a member of the party and be
given a credential as a representative
of the Central Executive Committee of
the party.
The weasel-faced, shifty Nosovitsky
| did not, however, make a good impress
sion on us, and after leaving him and
discussing the matter, we decided
that we could not reinstate him to
membership in the party and give him
credentials which would enable him
to pose as a representative OF, the
party. On the other hand we needed
his aid to make the arrangements for
Fraina's trip. We decided to make use
of whatever services he could render,
without exposing ourselves through
any breach of faith ON his part.
We gave him a note stating he was
authorized to receive printed litera-
ture and deliver same to our party,
an authority he already had from
other sources, and told him he could
proceed with making the technical
arrangement to have Fraina travel
with him on his ship.

And so NOsovitsky left.

Evidently he was gathering material
for the series of stories with which he
has entertained the gullible readers
of capitalist newspaper. He thought
that SIX years after every Communist
knew his true role-that of provoca-
teur and spy-he could still pull the
BLUM Of injured innocence.

The Untold Story.

The next I heard of Nosovitsky was
upon his return from Europe after
having taken Fraina across. He sent
word that he wished to report on hav-
ing successfully fulfilled his duty.
Another comrade and called upon
him at his home somewhere in the
one hundred and twenties of Lenox
Ave. in New York. First he pulled out
a suitcase filed with the latest books,
pamphlets and newspapers published
by the Communist movement in Eu-
rope-literature which we had been
endeavoring to secure for months
and turned it over to us. Much of
this literature was later translated
and published in the United States.
Then he handed back the note au-
thorizing him to receive literature for
us.
He was evidently paving the way
to be trusted further, by apparent
frankness in surrendering the only
document which gave him any stand
ing in relation to the movement.
What he was playing for soon came
out. He demanded to appear before
the Central Executive Committee of
the party and submit report on the
Amsterdam conference Of European
Communists, which he declared he
had attended with Fraina.
That was quite another story. The
time was February, 1870. after the
Palmer raids In which four thousand
members OF the party had been ar
rested, indicted and held for deporta-
ton and Imprisonment, All the mem
bers OF the Central Executive Com

the significance Of the emphasis.
He explained that he had heard
that there was a printed pamphlet CON
tanning the testimony in the investi-
CATION of the charge against Louis
G. Fraina and that. In this pamphlet
suspicion was cast upon him and he
wanted a copy of this pamphlet so
that he could clear himself Of this sus-
picion.
I told him knew nothing about this
pamphlet and could not give him a
copy and was not interested in the
matter. and left him.
A day or two later Nosovitsky came
back into the headquarters OF the
party accompanied by another man,
and demanded to see me. sent back
word that l was too busy and didn't
want to talk to him. He sent a
message that the man with him was
a Michigan doctor whose papers he
had given to me in 1919, and that the
doctor needed these, and wouldn't !
find them for him. My answer was
that / knew nothing about his papers
and did not want anything to do with
him.

The working man may or may not
be aware that the twentieth century
is going to bring him an honorable
and secure position in society through
his own organized effort. Still, Off

that the so-called public has recently
come to take a new and different at

public is beginning to see, despite
wholesale propaganda of organized
employers, that organized labor is a
constructive and orderly force in in
dustry. With this realization, the
public is demanding more Of orgaA-

relinquishing one gain it has made
in the past, is prepared to take with
its brother unions, its place in the
