Not a Member, Says Decision.
The decision, formally rendered by
the committee empowered to act by
the local union, is, in full, as follows:
1--WE, the committee elected to in

er wherein it was alleged that he
allowed himself to become delin-
quent member of the United Mine

investigation into every available

he can only be reinstated into mem
bership in the United Mine Work

IA, Section 2, International Consti-

I'VE therefore notify all local

Especial 70 The Daily worker.l

GREAT FAILS, Mont, April a.
The trial of Senator Burton X.
Wheeler Of Montana, for alleged mis-.
use of office, speeded rapidly to
close in federal court here today.
Wheeler is accused of illegally re-
ceiving after election to the senate a
$4,000 fee from Gordon Campbell,
Montana prospector, to handle govern
ment oil permits before the interior
department.
Both prosecution and defense hav-
ing rested, final arguments began to-
day and the case was expected to
reach the jury before night.
Limit Arguments
Judge Frank S. Dietrich did not set
any limit on the length of arguments,
but each side agreed not to consume
more than two hours apiece.
John L. Slattery, United States
district attorney, handled the final
argument for the government, includ-
ing both the opening and closing
statements.
Final addresses of the defense were
delegated to Senator Thomas ]. Walsh
Of Montana, Wheeler's colleague, and
William f. oLeary, Great Falls at
torney.
Completion of the arguments and the
courts instruction to the jury will
bring to a close one of the most
acrimoniously contested criminal
cases in Montana history. Few be-
fore have attracted such attention and
held so continuously the interest Of
the entire state. The trial has been in

Tomorrow afternoon the boss-In-

vides that If master BARRIERS and
journeymen fail to come to an agree
meqt a third person is called in and
the decision of the arbitrator is to be
final and binding. And, as an official
of the journeymen blandly puts it,
'1n this way we will have a perpetual
contract" To the progressives this
means perpetual dependence on the
whims of the bosses.
The hullaballo raised over the 81
raise is a crude attempt to gloss over
the betrayal of the barber workmen.
1t is a well known fact that the ma
jority of BARRIERS working in Chicago
have received a minimum wage Of
$50 week for more than a year. IL
is true that the preceding contract
called for a $26 minimum wage, but
this wage was strapped long ago
when the bosses we're forced to pay
$50 because Of labor shortage.
The hours of work, according lathe
award, remain the same. This. de-
spite the strong rank and file move

officials of the BARRIERS union are ig-
noring the rank and file demands
when they propose to jam down the
threats of the workers this shameful
contract.

BULGAR PLOT
Czarist Agents Wrote
Terror Letter
Especial to Tho Daily Worker,J


LONDON, April 24.-The London
Daily Herald, official daily organ Of
the trade union movement of Great
Britain, has exposed the forgeries Of
documents alleged to be instructions
from the Communist international to
Bulgarian Communists to assassinate
officials Of the ZankoV government.
The alleged letter from ZinoViev set
the date of the uprising for April 10
That this letter. actually came from
Berlin and was the work of czarist
plotters acting in concert with the
zankov government is the belief here.
The fake document was found on an
alleged Soviet agent last April.
Another Forgery.
The document was headed: &c. c.
c. l., Central Section, Department For
Foreign Relations" The Herlad points
out that the Comintern has no such
department and says:
CAS- long ago as March "a, long
before the document was published,
before it had been captured the
Berlin Rote Fahne issued a warn
ing that fake was being prepared,
tho for what sinister purpose it
could not surmise.
ut had discovered that a white
ex-officer, now working as a secret
agent, man known sometimes as
Gutschinski, sometimes as Brisch-
evski, living at SO Ansbacherstr.,
Berlin had printed at a printing
works in Lutherstrasse, Berlin, thou
sands of copies of forged Third
International note paper. This
Gutschinski forgery bore the same
damningly impossible heading, e.

ment for Foreign Relations"
The capitalist press of England and
the continent with a few exceptions
have Joined the chorus that lays
the bomb explosion in the cathedral
at the feet of the Communist Interna-
tional. Those. liars are well aware
that they are lying. but they are used
to it, and certain purpose can be
served by lying. The recent British

AS WE SEE 1T
BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

ONLY few months ago, the cap
~ italist press gave page after page
of their valuable advertising space to
the story of Floyd Collins incarcera-
ton in an underground prison, and
the attempts of the military to rescue
him. The work went on for three
weeks and the newspapers gained in
circulation, and an increase in circu-
lation means an increase in advertis-
ing rates. Today we read that Collins
body is free and the story gets only
a few paragraphs.
TT should be remarked that the
boosted ingenuity of the military
failed to release Collins. This job has
since been done by a practical miner
and his body was released from the
heavy boulder that held him down.
We pointed out at the time the cap
italist papers were filed with senti-
mental slush about one man who lost
his life in hole underground, that
thousands OF miners are killed every
year while earning living for them
selves and their dependents and pill
ing up profits for their masters. Most
of those fatalities are preventable,
but the capitalist press let's the worst
Of the mine disasters go with head
line or two. The god Of profits must
not be irritated.
A MOTHER socialist publication has
4 come cropper. This time it is
the Polish daily, Dziennik Ludowy. OF
course it has long ago lost any claim
TO consideration as an organ Of So
cialism. 1t Is interesting to note that
while socialist papers are running into
hard luck, Communist publications are
growing in power and influence. Com
munism is on the up grade, while So
cialist parties are going the other way
The only parties that fight for social
ism today are the Communist parties.
WORKERS education is very i'm
w portant question and one that
should receive the greatest consider
alton from the working class move
ment. There is more than one kind
of education. There is learning for
the sake of learning, luxury which
only the parasite classes can afford.
Then the kind of education that tries
and succeeds in making the workers
useful tools Of capitalism, with minds
trained to hum in harmony with the
industrial machine There is also the
kind Of education that teaches the
worker his place in society, besides
putting at his disposal the concen-
trated experience Of the human race,
represented by knowledge stored in
books.
THERE is more to it than that.
\ Workers education not alone
teaches the workers these things but
it gives him the necessary urge to
use the knowledge acquired to trans
late aims into achievement. We COM
mented in a recent issue on the
Workers Education Bureau, which
4 refused the privilege of attending its
convention to Communist educators.
When Scott Nearing mentioned the
hclass struggle at the same convention,
the labor takers who control it threw
cat fits. Yet Dennis Bait, recently
prominent member of the proletarian
party eulogized this pernicious dope
Institution. Official organs of American
trade unions are so uniformly react
ionary on this question, that it is a
pleasure to read an article on work
lng class education, like the one that

Flushing" Recommended
for the Breeding Ewes

Preparation for breeding is the be-
ginning Of the direct work for the
harvest of lambs hoped for the next
spring. The period of CESSATION In
sheep is LAT to $50 days. The mating,
therefore. should begin practically
five months before the first lambs are
wanted. The yves should be gaining
In condition at the time of mating.
Such a condition will cause more of
he ewes to come in heat quickly and
to settle at the first mating. as well
as a larger number Of twin lambs.
Changing the ewes to especially good
pasture or giving n little extra feed
beginning ten days before the breeding
season, will serve to bring about this
desired condition. This extra feeding
whether from extra pasture or add
tional feed given. is called Gushing"
