tee, the attorney of the Goteborg
Metal Workers Union, F. ]. Moberg,
has been impeached and arrested.
Moberg who, as secretary of the un.
ion, received salry Of about 5000
kronen, found this salary insufficient
for the needs of one-time worker,
and so he set up pipe-fitting com
pany, of which he was the boss. He
set aside special room in the Offices
of the trade union for handling his
business affairs. He had an automo-
bile, and for five years played the
part of the grand seigneur," without
the union executive committee, which
knew all about his activities, lifting
? finger to put stop to his graft
Moberg used about $4,000 kronen of
the union funds in speculation, and
he concealed the deficit always by
paying the union dues to the central
trade union committee several weeks
late.
THE investigation showed that Mo-
l berg, who was one of the main
leaders Of the social democratic party
Of Gothenburg, was, among other
things, municipal councillor of this
party, and had several accomplices
among other party members. He was,
in addition, director and business
manager of the important social
democratic paper Nye It'd, which,
after the discovery. made desperate
efforts to save their grating col
league.
The social democratic editor Of
this paper, who had a yearly income
of 10000 kronen, had joined Moberg
in buying shares in a shady enter
prise. On the formers initiative a
committee was formed, which de-
elared that it was willing to save Mo
bert, by refunding a portion of the
stolen money, but only upon certain
conditions.
They stipulated that the executive
committee Of the local union should
keep the committees action secret,
making it appear as tho Mobert had
made good his theft himself and tell
ing the union membership merely that
when the books were examined it was
found that the unions money had
been employed in an unwise fashion.
II these conditions were complied
| with, small part of the money
could be paid in cash, and for the re-
mainder, stocks (Which happened to
be worthless. by the way, would be
given as guarantee"
These conditions are extremely edi-
flying. They show the moral depray.
ity Of the social-democratic "class
fighters" who were not ashamed to
ask their comrades to swindle the
5000 members of the local union, in
order to save the Honor" Of a thirty
ing leader, or rather, to save a whole
gang of social democratic thieves and
grafters from the. scandal that was
threatening them.
The local trade union committee
had the decency to reject the propos
sitions, whereupon the gang left their
brother to his fate. Moberg was fin
ally brot to trial, and sentenced to q
year in jail. The union Immediately
elected Communist, one of the lead
ing militants, in his place.
N FEW more instances must be
n added to this edifying recital.

Scopes, who has termed himself the
goat in the coming struggle over
the Tennessee anti-evolution law, prob
ably will occupy the spotlight for
some time to come, but this appar-
emily has not detracted from his de.
sire to refill his old position as a
teacher in the Rhea County High
School next term.
The indicted science teacher, whose

luton to his class has created world.
wide interest, has made formal ap-
plication to the school board for the
position, 1t was announced. Walter
White, superintendent of schools and
chief prosecutor in the case, appeared
surprised at the application, but de.
clined to comment.
Among outstanding developments in
the case yesterday was the statement
by Gov. Austin Peay that he would
not go to Dayton to testify "unless
required to by compulsory process. II
An invitation to the governor to ap.

Reports that Thomas A. Edison had
offered his services as a witness for
the defense were denied by Mr.. Edi-
son, who asserted he>had nc intention
of attending the trial. RumorS that
William Jennings Brvan had obtained
the services of Samuel Untermyer,
prominent New York attorney, to aid
in the prosecution, were scoffed at by
DR.. George w. Rappleyea. original
prosecutor of Scopes. who returned
to Dayton from conferences in New
York.
One addition to the list of those
who will defend Scopes was added
with the announcement at New York
that the American Civil Liberties
Union had accepted the services of
Charles H. Strong. secretary Of the
Bar Association of New York City,
and had appointed Mr.. Strong. who
is president of the body. it's observer
at the trial.
Following similar action taken by
other county schools boards in Ten
nessee, the De Kalb County board an
nounced that it would sign no contract
with any teacher until first obtaining
the applicants views in evolution.
