that turned the victory Of Kuo into a
defeat and gave Chang Tso-lin his
barbarous vengeance of parading
Kuo's head and that Of his wife thru

With very good reason the imper-

BISMARCK, N. D., Dec. 20. = The
Nonpartisan League faction in North
Dakota, headed by William Lemke,
r. H. Walker and Ralph lngerson,
which took forward step at the Bis
mark conference on December 10 In
throwing their forces into fight for a
farmer-Iabor party in the state, will
do all in their power to convence the
rank and file Of the Ieaguers that the
launching Of such a party is to the
best interests of the farmers.
The farmerlabor party issue has
now been raised on a statewide scale
and this in itself is of great import
ance. The league state convention
meets sometime in February and the
question of organizing the farmer-la-
Dor party is likely to be one of the big
questions that will come up for con-
sideration. League precinct meetings
will be held on January 7 and county
conventions which select delegates
for the state convention are scheduled
for the 81 Of January.
May Jump on Bandwagon.
Governor Sorlie and his Office hold
ing crowd do not seem to be much
interested in the farmer-labor party
and if the attitude Of this faction does
not change within the next two
months it is probable that it will fight
against the farmer-labor forces in the
state convention of the league. U. s.
Senator Lynn j. Frazier is now OPP
posed to the farmer-labor party but
there is possibility that he may line
up on the side of Lemke if he can be
convinced that the formation Of this
party is the wise" thing to do at this
time.
r. w. Frazier, member of the Nom
partisan League state committee, who
has issued the call for the holding of
the league conventions. is also openly
opposed to the farmer-labor party, but
he, like Senator Frazier, may get be.

WINGED that it is right to do so at

Deep MYSTERY
Negotiations Begin at
Union League Club
Especial to The DAILY workerl

Especial 10 ne OAuy WGiN9Fl
NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 2s-The
conference between the anthracite
coal operators and the United Mine
Workers will open at the symbol Of
reaetionary wealth, the Union League
Club, here Tuesday.
The operators, who now feel they
have the upper hand will demand that
mining be resumed at once at the
wages paid on August 81, 1925, when
the strike began; that If no agree
ment is reached the whole situation
shall be submitted to arbitration or
that arbitration shall decide parti-
cular points which may be left un-
settled by an agreement for resump-
ton Of mining. and that the contract
finally signed shall be for five years.
Lewis in Position Of Retreat.
What the Lewis administration of
the union will ask is still unknown.
Lewis retreat from the tri-district de-
mands to the Pinchot plan. and then
his further retreat from the Pinchot
plan to agreement to discuss any plan
of settlement, all do not increase his
morale as he goes to the door Of the
Union League Club, to talk settle
ment.
If Lewis brings up the Pinchot plan
for discussion the operators, who
have refused it before, will certainly
not be in a poorer position to refuse
it at present.
Green Optimistic.
william Green, head of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, has stated
his opinion that the strike win be
over in ten days, according to reports
from his Ohio home in CoshoctJn.
where he is spending the holidays. He
added that he thought manufacturing
and business will continue on a "sa-
tisfactory basis" and show gradual i'm
provements, while wages wiz be
maintained on high level and re
lationship between employers and
workers will improve"
The Chicago Typographical Union
at its Sundays meeting voted tAe
limit of its Legal donation without
special action, sum of $50, and noti-
fed the membership that special action
at the next meeting would vote on
making the sum $1,000. to aid the
anthracite strikers. In addition con-
tribution lists were ordered passed
around the chapels.

social-Democrats Betray Workers.
Time and again workers trade
unions have been raided and are being
prosecuted and the only unions that
are allowed to exist without any inter-
ference are those that are controlled
body ana soul by the clergy. The
government which is at present run
ming the country is composed Of cler-
icals, nationalists and social-demo-
Gratis. The workers have protested
numerous times to the social-demo-
Gratis, who try to pose as working class
fighters, and each time the workers
s have been betrayed and those that
protested have been jailed or done
away with.
Torture Victims.
Police raiding squads that are sent
TO bring in active workers never re-
turn to the police station empty
handed. If they do not find the worker
they seek, they arrest his wife, his
daughter or his son. These victims
are then put thru the most terrible tor
tures in order to force Confessions, /"
which can be used against workers in
