NEW YORK, Nov. 2s. Rattle

wrapped around his coffin.
A squad Of veterans fired a part
ing salute over ] Is grave near the
little stone church in saltwater; N.
J Soprano voices sang Beautiful

spoke soft words over him.
It was a gentle devastating for
Rattlesnake Bill after his forty
eight years Of unorthodox adven-

In his early childhood he was
known as william Van Horn That
was before he developed the rattle,
snake complex. TO most men . rat.

to Bill it became career.
Ratt1esnake hunting was his life
work. Hundreds II museums. ZOOS,
laboratories and snake cl1armers
depended on Bill for their raw ma.
terial.
Bill also had q penchant for rob,
bling hen roosts. This little eecen-
tricity put him in many jails.
One day crazy student in the
Balkans pulled his gun on a duke,
and the whole course Of Bills life
was changed He passed up his
career and his hobbies, went to
France in soldiers uniform and
became hero.
Bill was different man when
he came back. The rattlers waxed
fat and venomous, the hens slept
peacefully In their coops at night,
and the jaiIs from Maine to Flor
ida knew him no more. He had be
come q patriot.
That IS why he was buried with
a flag wrapped around his coffin.
That is why they fired a parting

6. Full support for the general
council in its fight for international
trade union unity, and in its present
relations with the Russian trade
unions, but we further demand the
definite formation of the Anglo-Rus-
sian Unity Committee, that shall con-
duct immediate propaganda and agi-
tation, that will lead to the organ
lzing of a world trades union con-
gress, where all trade union centers
shall be present, and where a single
international trade union center shall
be created.
The executive committee of the Ma
tional Minority Movement affirms
that such an all-embracing program
as this will rally the whole of the
workers to its support. We further
place on record our willingness to CO.
operate with any working class or.
ganization that is willing to fight for
the realization of this program.
Larkin Rejected.
The only discordant note in the
conference was injected by James
Larkin Of the Irish Workers Union.
When he was first called to the plat
form he was given quite cordial re-
ception by the conference. Later in a
speech he bitterly denounced Brit
ish trade unions and certain leaders
Of the Minority Movement by name
for not insisting on the withdrawal of
all British unions from Ireland and for
not giving him better support Tom
Mann later answered some of these
points. Just as the convention was
adjourning Larkin rushed to the front
and tried to make a conciliatory state
ment but received more Kisses than
attention.

effective practical contributions in the
discussion of the various resolutions.
Realistic RevoIutionlsts. eul
The conference showed the right
combination of revolutionary spirit
and realistic facing of actual condi'
tons. Harry Pollitt, secretary of the
movement in his report pointed to the
large and widespread rank and file
representation at the conference as
an answer to the charge that the Ma
tional Minority Movement was MOTH
ing but a few agitators with little
strength inside the regular trade
union movement.
The first convention in August
1924, had 271 delegates; the special
unity conference in June, 1925. had
617; the present had $50, practically
all rank and file workers There were
workers present from every corner of
England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales,
speaking for 100000 trade unionists
Back in December, 1920, when a small
group of workers met to plan for agi-
tation for affiliation to the Red Inter-
national of Labor Unions there were a
number who favored pulling away and
forming new unions outside. Those

who insisted that the proper way was
20 work inside the existing unions
and strengthen and extend them pre-
vailed. Today there was further vim
dication of this policy.
MIltants must realize that they
must not scorn the most simple
tasks In the trade unions, they
must function wherever there was
work to do. In this way they could
) demonstrate that they we're real
trade unionists and that their re-
volutionary program sprane from
the same motive. A delegate from
the National Union of Railway
men said he had been a lone voice
crying in the wilderness for some
years, but results were now show
ing themselves. There would be
eleven left wing delegates at the
coming convention Of the NJ. U. r.
PollHt declared that while many
leaders of labor a year ago were quite
openly close to the N. M. NJ, the
sharpening of class lines was causing
some of them to hedge. While de-
claring for the social revolution they
were beginning to stand away. The
movement must become strong enuf
to force them to make a choice. They
must either adopt militant action on
behalf of the workers or stand be-
fore their followers as discredited
and of no further use to them. The
N. M. M. would work as a trade I'M
ion organization with anybody or
group that was prepared to put for
ward the revolutionary demands Of
the working class. ]. T. Murphy

Widespread unemployment and high
prices had reduced the purchasing
power of the people to an enormous
exteHt-$3, 900, 100000 from 1928.
Markets heretofore open to Britain
had been lost due to the development
of manufacturing in other countries.
