INJUNCTION MAY KEEP
GAME Law OFF BALLOT

A temporary injunction, addressed
to Secretary of State James H. Kerby
and the boards of supervisors and
clerks of 10 Arizona counties, pro-
hibiting them from printing on bal
lots at the forthcoming election refer
ence to the proposed referendum
measure for repeal of the fish and
game law, was signed by Superior
Judge Joseph S. Jenckes.
The order was issued at hearing
on a temporary restraining order
signed by Judge Jenckes in> Wicken-
burg and addressed to Secretary
Kerby and the board Of supervisors
of che IA Arizona counties. Another
hearing, to determine whether the in
junction issued shall be made perman-
ent, will be held in Phoenix Saturday,
September H.
At that time also Representatives of
Gila, Apache, Yuma and Pima coun-
ties, who were not present or repre-
Isented, must show cause why a temp
fporary injunction should not issue as
to them. Service on the boards Of SUI
pervisors of these four counties had
not been obtained and Judge Jenckes
consequently extended the time for
hearing until September IL, the same
time as that set for final hearing on
the order issued.
The net result of the order granted,
/ in the opinion of Attorneys Thomas
w. Nealon and Thomas A. Flynn,
counsel for T. g. Mccullough, the
plaintiff, will be to keep the pro-
posed referendum measure off the
ballot at the special election to be
held September 20. The petition for
the Injunction is based on the allega-
tion that submission of the measure
at a special election is unconstitu-
tional.
Attorney General John w. Murphy
and Assistant Attorney General Earl
Anderson appeared for Secretary of
State Kerby at the hearing. Arthur
IT. LaPrade, county attorney of Mari
copa county, and Gene S. Cunningham
of counsel, appeared for the Mancopa
county board of supervisors. Attorney
General Murphy and Mr.. Anderson,
his assistant, were delegated to ap-
pear for the other counties, which had
accepted service. In addition to Mar
icopa county, these were Santa Cruz,
Cochise, Pinal, Navajo, Graham,
Greenlee, Coconino, Mohave and va
vapai counties.
Unless an appeal is taken by the de-
PENDANTS and the state supreme court
advances the case on its calendar and
decides otherwise, the measure will
mot appear on the ballot, it was as
serted following the order Of Superior
Judge Jenckes.
The injunction, according to Attor-
neys Nealson and Flynn, is not di-
rected against the measure itself, but
against the manner of its submission.
The main objection to repeal of the
game code bill at this time, they state,
lis that it would prevent all fishing or
hunting in Arizona for period Of ap-
proximately two years, or until such
time as the state legislature could
enact another fish and game law.
Judge Nealon stated that in his
opinion there is nothing to prevent
submitting the same measure at a
general election, even though the tenn
porary injunction issued is made ner-
manent at the hearing on September
II, when it is expected that the mat
ter will be finally disposed of.

Cast into the dungeons of the most
terrible and at the same time largest
of all Roumanian prisons, whose hor-
rors are whispered in many legend,
wasting away behind the prison walls
of Doftan, we send the toilers of
Soviet Russia our fraternal greetings
on the occasion of the seventh ami

Each year, according to the prison
reports, from forty to fifty lives are
taken. Taken for ever.
But, Notwithstanding the ferocities
and horrors of our prison routine, we
yesterday celebrated the anniversary
of the October victory. We arose be-
fore the dawn, two hours before the
reveille, and the strains of the Inter

very hearts, swelled the gloomy space,
confined by the prison walls of the
dead Doftan prison.

The Labor Movement in Syria and Palestine RAM V&s
By H. M. Wicks

WHILE the labor movement in coun,
| W tries developed in dollhouse
fashion by the great imperialist ma
tions has many obstacles to over
come that other laber movements do
not have, there is one blight that it
has escaped. That is the deadening
influence of the social-democracy of
the Second International The heroes
of that international of ineffable in
fanny we're so busy serving their
various capitalist masters and kings
that they devoted no time to the
colonial movement except to help
enslave the colonials.
While the colonial territories were
being subjected and enslaved by the
imperialist nations the social-demo-
Gratis were playing grand politics by
entering the cabinets of their various
countries and aiding in forwarding the
interests of Imperialism.
Being true social-dcmocrats and
therefore Shiny philistines they form
ulated theory for their betrayal by
DuOublIOuo NpGi vel SlOu VI Wal AAclns
They held that real labor movement
could only develop in those countries
where capitalism was highly develop
ed and that it was useless to attempt
to bring the workers of backward
countries into the labor movement
until such time as capitalism had
sufficiently developed. The logical de-
duction from such position was that
by aiding. their capitalist masters ex-
plot the colonies the social-democrats
we're comforting upon the natives the
blessings of capitalist civilization and
preparing them so they would be fit
to enter the exalted company of the
Second International.
This distortion of Marxism was
utilized to conceal the material in
terests of these mercenaries Of the
bourgeoisie The extreme exploita-
ton and open plumber of the capital
list nations in the colonies results in a
super profit which is shared with the
skilled strata of the working class of
the home country.
.Social-democracy is the representa-
tive of this bribed and corrupted
strata of the working class.
The failure of social-democracy to
gain a foothold in the colonies, COM
bined with the fact that we are living
today in the era of world revolution,
accounts for the developing of the
labor movement in these countries un-
der the domination of the Commun.
lists
In the present struggle against the
Unreasonable terror of Britain and
France in the colonies and inundated
areas the Communists strive with the
nationalist to break the imperialist
chains so that they can clear the
ground for the final conflict.
With the labor movement in the
colonies under control of Communists,
and Communist influence gaining in
the home countries of Imperialism the
death knell of capitalism will soon

aries of France and1 Britain and the
Intensive exploitation of labor created
he objective conditions favorable for
our agitation. One of 'the Communist
leaders in Palestine reports that with
in the past two years hundreds of
thousands of copies of newspapers,
brochures, tens of thousands of Com
munist proclamations, hundreds of
meetings, and small groups meeting
in secret to plan organizational work,
laid the foundation for the rise of
the labor movement and dispelled the
illusions created in the minds of the
Arabs by the jewish immigrants de-
liberately segregating themselves and
creating nationalist groups under the
guise of unionism.
The Communists report that on last
May Day, for the first time in the his
tory of these territories, the workers
in all the industrial nenters participat-
ed in huge mass demonstrations. In
the principal centersf the celebrations
were of real Communist character,
the workers, in spite OF police threats
and terror, marching thru the streets
with the red flag dehantly flying.
BoIsheVik Tactics Necessary.
COMMUNISTS in Syria and Pales-
- tine who have become the leaders
of the labor movemehtrare confronted
with most serious tasks because of
the complicated character of the
struggle existing in the mandates ter
ritories Not only must they strive
against great odds ot5s build up the
unions in defiance Of Che bayonets Of
the foreign invaderso Who defend the
investors, but they must fight against
the nationalism thats nanifests itself
in the slogans of M6hammedanism.
Such slogans as are calculated to
cause an uprising Of the Moham-
medan world against the rest of the
world are most dangerous and it is
one of the major tasks, and may soon
become the one imperative task, of the
Communist Party to dispel that illu-
sion just as they had to combat the
Jewish nationalism Of the earlier
movement
Such slogans as asia for the
Asiatics," and 1.-THE World of Islam
for the Faithful" have nothing in
common with Bolshevism. They are
absolutely, now and forever, irrecon-
cilable with the tactics of Commun-
ism. Amidst the Islamite clamor and
the general merging af TALL classes in
the struggle to throw off the foreign
invader the task Of holding aloft the
banner of the class struggle becomes
extremely difficult. In periods of
open, bloody struggle such as now
convulses Syria, the class struggle
becomes obscured Sin this critical
period the Communist Party struggles
with might and main against the sub
merging of class lines in the swamp
of religious rebellion against all the
unfaithful, as the anti.imperialist wars
rage.

storming of Damascus, strikes, under
