Compromises this year will yield
the Govern nlent approximately
$1,000 900.
Unusual care will be taken in the
study Of pardon and parole appli-

= The applications will be referred
to the prohibition unit by the De-
partment of Justice.
No pardons or paroles will be APP
proved without reference of the
cases to prohibition administrators
or other field officers from whose
district the applicant was sentenced.
Thousands of prohibition actions.
including both criminal and civil
proceedings, are pending In the Fed
eral courts.
It is expected that an examina- !
ton of all pending cases viii be
ordered through the prohibition at
torney to administrators offices.
Lack of Connections Feared
Where there appeared to be little
chance for conviction, officials said
that the prohibition attorneys would
recommend dismissal of cases to
the United States attorneys. Dis
posaI of these cases will make a Dig
step toward clearing the Federal
court dockets of the present con- |
gestion.
Andrews has instructed all ad- |
miufstrators that new cases must
be prepared carefully and only those
brought into court where there Is
reasonable certainty Of conviction.
The prohibition field forces are
Under instructions to press the
prosecution Of all court cases and to

RESUME WORKERS
MOVIES IN MIN N.

So far as northern Minnesota is con-
cerned the summer season has no ter
rors for workers who are pushing the
motion pictures of their class. At the
Cromwell, MINI, Opera House, on
July 20 and at Lawler, MINI, on July
80, there will be showings OF THE
Beauty and the Bolshevik," and of
Russia in Overalls."
See Them for First Time.
Hundreds of cities in this country
have not yet had the benefit of these
and similar labor films. The message
of Soviet Russia, as expressed in liv-
ing pictures of actual events in the
first workers republic, has been deni-
ed to the working men and women liv-
ing in these towns. Only 200 cities
out of possible 1000 have run these
workers films.
Some cities, small as we'll as large,
on the other hand, have taken full ad-
vantage of the six educational and
three story films made available by
the Movie Department of the Interna-
tional Workers Aid Films have been
shown in large theaters and small. in
Labor ! Temples and schoolhouses.
They have been shown by themselves,
or to complete a meeting program, or
occasionally at picnics to draw and
hold the crowd beyond the usual home
hour. Now plans are being rapidly
perfected to carry the movie show, by
means Of portable equipment, right
into the halls and homes of even the
smallest working class organizations.
In this way the high theater rentals
will be overcome and the showings,
while smaller, will be less expensive
and of more intense and intimate eff
feet upon the audience. Any organ
ization interested in booking a movie
showing should communicate with the

Los Angeles Takers
Feel Ground SweIls

LOS ANGELES, July. 15-The
American Federation of Labor of Los
Angeles is experiencing disturbances
resembling recent California earth
quakes. L. M. Upset, who was presi-
dent of the Building Trades Council,
has been shaken out. ]. M. Byrne,
for many years editor of Citizen, has
resigned and gone to Sacramento.
AS Lipsett led the secession of the
building council from the general
council and Byrne opposed the seces-
sion bitterly, honors are even as to
the two factions.
But more seismic upheavals are
coming. The cause of the workers of
Los Angeles has been betrayed and
sold so fiagrantly that sweeping read
justments must be made. Complete
changes of personnel are called for.

Didn't Secure Permit
Commission Rules

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 49, The
Illinois commerce commission today
referred to the attorney general for
further action on the complaint OF the
American Railway Express company,
that the National transit company Of
Chicago, has operated motor trucks
for transportation of freight between
Chicago and SO communities within a
radius Of ia miles without certi-
ficate Of convenience and necessity
The commission upon. hearing
held that the National Transit COM
pany has been operating without the
required certificate as provided by
the Illinois Public Utilities law.
Altho the attorney general has not
announced his plans with regard to
this case the usual procedure is to
file a petition for an injunction prob
ably in the circuit court of Cook
county to restrain the truck company
from continuing in business. The
trucks are still running.

New Films for
Fall and Winter
In from Russia

Effort are being made to bring the
latest film successes of Soviet Rus
STA to this country for next Fall and
Winters program. 1t is expected to
get the best of all, "Lenin's Warn
ing" 1t is an exciting story of love
and struggle, showing the life of a
young girl as she goes thru the storm
lest period of revolution, and it brings
in the tremendous influence exerted
by Lenin upon events and mass senti-
ment in Russia, both during his life
and after his death. A comedy show
ing an American Rabbits adventures
in Moscow, and news film showing
the work of the "Mopr" or Interna-
tional Red Aid, are also expected. 1t
is not known just when these films.
which are now enjoying great popular
ity abroad, will be made available for
the use of the Western workers.
In the meantime, however, some ex-
cellent news films of Russian life and
industry have been received and
these will be combined with the very
1851 oAA AhCot CllCGllNE SCENES from
all the pictures thus far put out in
this country in the form of "A Trim
to Soviet Russia" Many millions who
have never seen any of these pictures
and many who have looked at them
once will welcome chance to see
them again in new treatment and
significance. This "Trip to Soviet
Russia" will be accompanied by a ira
velogue by William F. Kruse. who as
the cameraman for the international
Workers Aid, photographed most of
the film and edited the rest from Rus
sian newsreels Similar talks and
movies were given by Comrade Kruse
at the University of Chicago and at
the Lewis Institute of technology.
Organizations and schools interested
in booking this very different" ira

cumulate at compound interest in the
shape Of starvation, disease, stunted
development, and moral degradation;
in which the prospect of even steady
and honest industry Is life Of unsue-
cessfuI battling with hunger, rounded
out by pauper's grave bold
face mine.) When the organization of
society, instead of mitigating this
tendency, tends to continue and inten-
sify it, when a given social order
plainly makes for evil and not for
good, men naturally enuf begin to
think 1t high time to try a fresh ex-
pertinent :"
Thus spoke the Scientist Huxley
and thus spoke Alfred r. Wallace CO.
worker with Darwin in the discovery
Of the evolutionary theory. Here we
learn that Huxley, the exponent of
evolution, looks upon capitalism as a
cause Of poverty and degradation, and
hence calls upon the workers and
thinking people to put an end to this
disgrace and hell that capitalism and
its relgious-crazed henchmen have
brot upon the producers Of wealth and
their wives and children.
The cold and bitter experiences of
the thinking wage-slaves of the United
States has proven to them that cap
italism is crime and a destroyer of
all that is good and noble in man, and
that it is high time to abolish this
crime and instead bring forward
system of society that will make for
the economic and social betterment of
the working and producing class, and
destroy the capitalist parasites, and
the religious parasites.
Idiotic Judge.
Judge Raulston, who presides at the
trial and who with fan in hand fans
himself while he stands with broad
puritanical and idiotic smile on his
face-and chews (gum) and trys to-
talk at the same time, seems to stand
in awe of Mr.. barrow, the defense at
torney, as the latter speaks. More
than once the Judge has shown his
fear when side-stepping the local rules
of trials in Difference to barrow.
However, this does not mean that he
is not prejudiced against scientific
truth. The opening of the trial with
a prayer by a 100 per cent fundamen-
talist displayed all the prejudice that
is needed to prove that real hearing
for oeienee will be soreIy laolsine otl
this trial. But even if the judge will
try to be as fair as possible, he can
still rely upon the SO per cent funda-
mentalist jury, and hence the Judge
can afford to be somewhat fair in his
dealings with the defense. For it is
as difficult to obtain an unprejudiced
jury in this town as it would be to OBJ
tain a judge or jury in Pittsburgh,
Pa. who would hand out justice to a
bunch of REDS"
