audience began to yell at the top Of
their voices. Cries of Down with
Weinberg! Down with the socialist
traitors to the workers." were heard
above the din.
Weinberg Draws Jeers.
Finally after tremendous work on
the part of the police, the meeting be-
came fairly quiet. Weinberg tried to
speak again, pleading with the mem
bers Of the Workmen's Circle not to
insult their chalrman-himself. More
shouts. who elected you? Whose
leader are YOUR Act one repeated.
The gangsters busy again. The work
ers busy again, doing their share. Ev-
erything was turmoil
The Forward" clique of socialists
decided to call reinforcements. Around
four O'clock in walked about a score
Of husky sluggers. They took their
places in the aisles, like guards in
penitentiary, and waited for the signal
from their bosses. They were not kept
long waiting.
AaNAh AAAAOuuNGu &AWIdIuONlGus k0l-
lence reigned. The first three rows
stood up--looked around--saw nobody
rising but themselves, sat down again.
No applause
Workers Cheer Soviet Rule.
Then Abramovich, agent of white
guardism, emissary of the blood-spiIl-
ers Of the socialist Second Internation-
al commenced. He proceeded without
interruption until he mentioned SOY
let Russia" At once the hall was
shouting-'Long live Soviet Russia!
Long live the first Workers and Farm
ers' government"
Mister" Abramovich lost his self
control entirely. He could not imagine
that so many Bolsheyiks would turn
up at a meeting in America called by
the yellow socialists. He turned pale
He jumped and stumbled in speech
He was continually Interrupted. The
gangsters got to work. Like wolves
they were. Seats were upset. The
whole crowd of perhaps 1000 people
for half hour massed themselves in
one big group tumbling over the seats,
rolling on the floor.
Women screamed continually as
gangsters piled their trade. A dread
full sight, when socialists who pretend
to represent the workers call the DO
lice of the capitalist government and
hire sluggers to beat down workers
who voice their protests against at
tacks on Soviet Russia. But above all
the din the shouts came-'Long live
Soviet Russial Down with yellow
traitors! Long live the Communist In
ternational! Long live the Workers
Party!" And threaded thru it the
song of the International.
The traitors on the platform were
deathly pale. They had met much
more than they wished to meet. They
all tried to quiet the crowd. One az
ter another took the chair and plead
ed. 1t did not help. All were trying
to rescue their coats and their fami-
lies and go home.
Judge Panken and Hillquit conferr-
ed. They telephoned the police. A
new troop of $50 police and detectives
arrived, rushed into the hall. The
committees" of gangsters went out
side. The police used their hickory
night sticks. Abramovich found his
voice and asked the crowd to be quiet.
For every lie you tell, we will shout"
IL replied.
The meeting could not proceed. Ev-
cry word Abramovich uttered, the
workers shouted TITS a liel Long live

bers were not entitled to a working
card. One of the defendants took the
floor and asked if he would be allowed
to make a statement. The president
ruled that the meeting was not yet
opened.
the defendant then explained the
whole case, telling Of the fake trial,
how the secretary faxed the record.
that the officials Of the local made
mockery Of the constitution and in
short, that there was no trial accord
ing to the laws of the organization.
Another defendant read the AFFIDAVIT
signed by majority Of the trial COM
mittee, which stated that the defend
ants did not plead guilty as stated by
the lying secretary who acted as pro
secutor, Judge and jury.
Caught In A Lie.
The secretary got himself into a
hole, when President Hutcheson re-
quested information from him after
the appeal against the ''raiIroading"
reached Indianapolis. The local satel-
lite, in his letter to Hutchinson craw-
fished on his first statement written
into his faxed report of the trial"
to the effect that the expelled mem
bers pleaded guilty. In his letter to
the "czar" he stated that they admit
ted signing the anti-Landis award re-
solution, which was the cause of their
expulsion but denied violating the law
of the union. Thus the secretary was
proven liar out Of his mouth and in
his own handwriting.
After the defendants had their say
at last Monday nights meeting they
left the hall voluntarily, as the presi-
dent declared that the meeting could
not be held while they were present.
Faker Under Charges.
After the expelled" members left,
charges were preferred against the
president on the ground that he VIC
lated the constitution and presented
in the usual manner. A motion was
made that they take the usual course,
which means that a trial committee
would be elected at the next meeting.
But the president who earlier in the
evening had shown so much devotion
to the constitution now showed his
contempt for it by refusing to enter
tain the motion. Harry Jensen was
on the job prompting his actors in
the art Of defying the will Of the men,
bership.
The takers have substituted the die
tatorship of few reactionaries for
the will of the majority and evidently
they have the assurance Of Hutchinson
that they can ride over the constitu-
ton with IMMUNITY.
Jensen's Strategy.
The members of Local 181 are ex-
hausting all legal avenues for redress
of their grievances as we'll as their
patience. The takers evidently con-
slider the constitution as a sort Of
bible to be interpreted in whatever
way best suits the interests OF High
Priest Hutchinson and his altar boys.
But there is limit to human patience
and 1t is only question Of time when
the great majority of Local 181 will
show the few crawling lickspittles Of
Hutchinson and Jensen that the rank
and file intend TO run their own union.
The strategy OF Jensen is to tire out
the members. He hoped they would
lose interest in the fight. But they are
not Of the type that can be bam-
boozled. They know the takers game
and they are determined to fight to
the flnish-and winl

No change has occurred since Almost every ranch
has its own pet variety of potatoes It would be difficult
to find full carload Of potatoes all of variety with
any mixtures
For season like last year when potatoes were high
in price and scarce it made little difference When
tatoes are good and plentiful however it means low
priced potatoes the Belt farmers When the local de-
mand is satisfied there is outlet.
There is only remedy for this situation Grow
only standard varieties of potatoes that the market de-
mands It will take number of years for entire COM
munty to work together in raising only few select
varieties q start be made this season. Two or
three farmers living together could easily to
only variety of potatoes, and together raise
enough for carload shipment
The remedy cooperation To attempt to get the whole
valley adopt particular type of potato for production in
one year hopeless However three four farmers would
agree among themselves plant this and
operate marketing positive that the results obtained
would others into the until the association
would be strong enough to compel respect and attention
Dry land potatoes always command better market than ir
gated potatoes provided they uniform in size and quality
