THEDERAL JUDGE JAMES 3. WILL
Il KERsoN entered an order Tor
the receives Of the Chicago. Milwau-
kee and st. Paul railroad not to pay
the 5000 900 interest due on the $780,
100000 promisory note Of the rail-
road, held by the United States direc-
tor Of railroads. The order was issued
on the ground that the note Is secured
nv ssq.OO0OOO refunding bonds and
mortgages over railroad property that
has depreciated more than 80 per cent
since they were issued. so that there
Is now no tangible assets behind the
note. s
vFmIKERSON is the gentleman who
w issued the famous injunction in
tina shipments strike Of 1872, on ap-
ulication OF the then attorney general,
Harry NJ. Daugherty. He is a good
friend Of the railroads This is very
cute way to get S20,OOO,0OO. What is
the use of having judges unless they
do the work? n judge proved as
isnient In the case OF a striking work
or held for violation Of some statute,
he would be conaidered public men
ace by the-caDitalist press.
THERE is q cartoon in yesterdays
i Daily News, OF Chicago, Which
represents Soviet Russia endeavoring
to find favor in the eyes OF the rest
OF the world. The cartoonist was so
bankrupt in originality that he had to
fan back on the old reliable whiskers
to bring home his point. The idea for
the picture had its origin in recent
dispatch from the Associated Press
representative in Moscow, to the
effect that the Communist Party of
Russia, which is the ruling party,
passed a resolution that will give
moro favored living conditions to the
so-calIed white collar workers.
TIME capitalist tripe hounds saw in
4 this another step towards peace,
with capitalism on the part Of the
Soviet government. AS il there was
any incompatibility between white

the fact that the white collar"
elements or the industrial and COM
mercial experts who did not coddle
to the new order, have finally ac-
copied the Soviet rule as a thing of
power and permanency.
TIN trying to look respectable now
4 see my collar is white" These
are the words the artist puts into the
mouth Of the alleged Bolshevik. And
the "rest of the world" is made to
reply, mot very well-your whiskers
are in the way" Perhaps most of the
readers OF the Daily News will see no
connection between this cartoon and
the interview with a japanese news
pdpCA man IudL dpPCdASU OA TIC pAO'A-
Gus day. The Japanese statesman
said that his country benefited very
much from its treaty with Russia and
because of its recognition of the So
Wet power. This was dangerous stuff
and must be counteracted.
WHAT false impression this car
w toon conveys? One would i'm
agine that Soviet Russia is not recog-
nized by a single country in the
world. AS matter of fact all the
great powers except the United States
and most of the small powers have
recognized Russia. The liberal sup
ply Of hirsute adornment which the
cartoonist attaches to his mythical
Russian is supposed to represent Boil
shevism, and this is the obstacle to
respectabilityl What is making So
