William Hard clearly defined the
differences between the two political
schools of thought in I regard to
Americas entrance into the World
Court in his talk from WCAP last
night.
1t was an able talk in which the
claims OF both sides were given an
impartial presentation in Mr.. Hard's
clear cut, decisive words which GER
tainly begot confidence in what
he said
While WCAP's political prophet
does not use the high flung ora
torical style that has made Frederic
William Vile famous with the radio
audience, his deliberate, steady,
finely accumulated words make
one feel sure that he knows what
he is talking about
When Mr.. Hard began his series
Of talks, we did not Immediately en-
thuse over them. His style was
not as picturesque as that Of Mr..
VILE, and he lacked much of the lat
ter's biting irony and sarcasm which
met with such a spontaneous re-
Spouse from the air listeners.
But as week after week went by
and we continued to listen to
WCAP's political talker, we began
to like him more and more. Others
got the same reaction 1t seemed, be-
cause we heard more favorable COM
ment on his talks.
Mr.. Hard throughout his talks has
used a different method in his Sc
lection of subjects. He has some
times overlooked particularly ORA.
matte events about which 1t would
be easy to arrange an interesting
though unimportant talk, In favor
of less appealing though more con-
sequential topics.
We hope Bill Hard will not follow
WiIe's example and decide to make
his addresses biweekly instead OF
weekly. We believe he has bril-
liant radio future If he continues
in his present manner.

II any local listeners heard Bill

they were dreaming or something
but it was true.
Not long ago. . talk by Secretary

broadcast by WRC. Secretary
Hoover was scheduled to address
a banquet at Wardman Park Hotel
that night and also was slated to
make a talk over the radio from

After making his talk at Ward

specially equipped room and talked
via WRC to the New York banquet
and to the world at large through

Runaway Freight
Train Is Wrecked;
Two Men Killed

Travelling at a triffic speed a run
away freight train was wrecked.
two of it's crew were killed and one
was severely injured today on the
middle division of the Pennsylvania
railroad, at Altoona.
The men killed were F. c. Sche-
line, Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania,
engineer and H. H. Tauber, OF
Aspenwall, fireman.
Gathering speed on seven mile
down grade, and with the engineer
whistling for hand brakes, the on
coming freight train .sideswiped
another freight under the Seven
teenth street bridge, making kindl-
ing wood of the box cars. The
wreckage was piled 80 feet high
with the cargo strewn everywhere.
The brakeman escaped death by
running back on top of the train.
Railroad men believed that the
engine was travelling lin reverse"
and that the air brakes may nave
failed. The driving wheels OF the
locomotive were fiat for several
inches. Thirty-nine of the SO cars
in the runaway train were demol-
ished and eleven cars OF the tram
sideswiped were damaged.

CARPENTERS UNION
is UNANIMOUS FOR
ROSELAND, COMMUNIST

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May -
Carpenters Local Union No. 2, at
its last regular meeting endorsed
/. A. Roseland, Communist candl-
date for alderman in the 10th ward,
by unanimous vote.
comrade Roseland has been a
member Of this local for the past
twelve years and Is now serving as
president Of the Twin City carpen-
ters' District Council. He was one
Of the carpenters delegates that
was the center Of the fight launched
by the reaetionary labor officials in
their efforts to disrupt the local la.
Dor movement by expeIIIng the Com
munist and left wing elements. The
reactionary officials Of the carpen-
tiers have also attempted to destroy
the confidence held by the rank and
file in Roseland, but the vote Of the
local at it's last meeting is con-
elusive proof that this oomrade has
won the support Of the rank and
file because Of his sincerity and be-
cause Of the program that he has
consistently supported.

We are gonna put the radicals on the
bum. That's the purpose Of our pa
per; to raise hell with the labor men.
We have already tied up the unions
with our work In the assembly. It's
your cause we are fighting for. so
help us do your work"
This is an exact reproduction Of a
canvas which they put over the bust
ness men. For money they stop at
nothing. 1t is said by some who have
recently returned from Washington
that this scurrilous plaster of maggots
is to become the official organ Of the
central labor union. / doubt 1t very
much. But should it really happen,
it would attest the fact that degenera-
ton has set in so far, In that place,
that hope for its redemption is futile.
The truth is before you Mr.. Work
ing Man and Woman. Van Lear and
Harthill stand convicted OF rank
treachery and monstrous perfdy to
the cause of the working classes. The
movement that has fed and clothed
them, and in the case of Van Lear
honored him with it's leadership, they
have attempted to sell out to the en-
emies of the toilers. Van Lear, who is
also an expert on Russian questions,
about like village pump master, is
an authority of dialectics, has dem
onstrated beyond any point of doubt,
that he can be true TO no man, cause
OF movement.
The Workers (Communist) Party is
the only organization that can protect
the working class from a duplication
of this kind of treason in the future.
This is true because this party is a
party Of iron discipline. It's member
ship and its leadership are under the
control of the organization. Conse-
quently, treason is unthinkable. More
over, its press and publications gener-
ally, are the property of the organize
ton, utilized for the purpose Of edu-
eating the working class to organize
for the overthrow Of capitalism, as an
economic system.
1t is to be noted. in conclusion, that
while Van Lear was perpetrating all
Of his treason, the so-called socialist
labor group headed by Albert Bastis
and Lynn Thompson, not only did not
raise finger to stop him. but, in many
cases, actually co-operated with him.
Between them and Van Lear is only
a question of degree; in principle, they
are the same. AS for the labor takers
in the unions, such as Bob Cramer,
there is no difference at all.
The working class can very we'll
afford to sing with Lord Byron:
I've learned to think and sternly
speak the truth,
Learn to derive the critics starch de-
cree
And break him on the wheel he meant
for me-"

al shake-down artist, as the whole
town knows. He is an expert purvey-
or Of dirty linen; that's why decent
people hold their nose when his name
is pronounced.
For years he was the publicity
agent for the underworld, when the
town was wide open. He not only
maintained contact with the scarlet
shadows of sin, but his sheet was
lewd, obscene and lascivious. His rag
was the official organ Of Sodom and
Gomorrah.
For three years this fellow dashed
Harthill and Van Lear: 1917, 1918,
and 1919. That was due to the fact
that Guilford considered himself as
being "doublecrossed" by the pair,
pertaining to some prediction prom
Use. His dirty linen pen splashed all
over Harthill and Van Lear. 1t was
Guilford who coined Harthilrs nick
name, Little Lou" Today they en-
brace one another 1t is unbelievable,
but true.
In 1921 Guilford hired out to Ed.
Carpenter and an official of the Mime
apolis Steel and Machinery company,
to publish broadside against Van
Lear, who was a candidate for office.
He was to obtain three thousand dol
lars for the job. However, after Gull
ford performed his part of the con-
tract, the money was not forthcoming.
So Guilford entered suit to recover.
Today Van Lear is an Intimate work
er and warm friend of Guilford. This
sounds, know, as if It was a great
joke. Nevertheless, it's the truth. Do
not these facts prove conclusively that
Van Lear and Harthill comprehend
political honor, decency and self-re-
spect, about as much as a hog does
Latin. Yet they have got the brass to
misrepresent honorable men in their
INSCRIPTIONS sheet. The rag became
so corrupt that Guilford quit. Now
the traitor Gilbert does the writing.
Is it not the duty of every honest
and intelligent worker, in the light of
the facts herein recorded, to shun
these traitors to the cause of the work
ing class, and for their leperous rag,
as he would poisonous serpent. Ger
tainly 1t is.
This sheet is new bit Of gold for the
duo. It's the price of their continued
treachery. They approach the mem
bers of the Citizens Alliance, whose
good will they have got and whose
ideals they are spreading in this man
ner:
I'VE want an ad from you. You
know our paper is doing your work.

COMMUNISTS GET
ENDORSEMENT OF
MACHINISTS' LODGE

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May r.
Lodge No. 81, international AssocIa-
ton of Machinists at it's last regular
meeting gave its endorsement to
Dan w. Stevens, the Communist
candidate for mayor and also to c.
A. Hathaway and L. A. Roseland the
Communist candidates for alderman
in the first and tenth wards respect
lively.
This meeting was attended by
Harley p. NIckerson of Milwaukee,
international vice president Of the
machinists' union, who tried to swing
the local behind "BlIl" Johnston and
his Infamous B. & o. plan. The Com
munIst members Of the local explain
ed that to adopt the 3. & o. plan
meant the destruction Of the union
as a weapon In the hands Of workers
with which to carry on the struggle
against the capitalists for improved
working conditions and appealed to
the members to support the pro-
gram of the left wing lead by the
T. U. E. L. They called upon those
present to vote for the Anderson
ticket for the sole purpose Of bust
ing the Johnston machine, but to
organize the left wing with the Idea
Of placing the control Of the union
in their hands at the earliest pos
slble time.
The vote Of the local at this meet
ing was rs for the Anderson slate
and three for the Johnston machine.
Nickerson left the meeting feeling
rather blue after the left wing had
challenged him to debate the cIass
collaboration policy Of the present
leadership as opposed to the pro-
gram Of the class struggle advanced
by the left wing.

arrested, spent a night In the city
Jail and was fined $1,000 in munich
pal court the next morning. He also
implied that Magnus had been in
yolyed with fast women.
Magnus Avoided Primrose Path.
This is looked upon here as the
first step in the effort to unseat Schall
in the senate. II is significant that
prominent members of the republican
machine in Minnesota testified in be-
half Of Johnson at this trial and were
largely instrumental in bringing about
Jacobs conviction.
Schall is thought to be unpopular
with the republican leaders and in as
much as Magnus is not asking for
the seat himself, but is merely ask
ing that Schall be unseated, they are
willing to help with the job. IL is
also significant that the republican
leaders introduced a bill In the last
session of the state legislature. which
was adopted, authorizing the governor
Ga republican, to appoint senators to
I'LL vacancies in the event that such
vacancies should occur.
To Follow La Toilette to G. o. p.
Others here are of the opinion that
this trial marks the beginning OF
the retreat OF Magnus Johnson back
into the fold of the republican party,
where he will find many OF his old
farmer-labor companions such as
Thomas Van Lear, Lewis Harthill and
others.

CATCHING DISEASE BY
HAND

THE Chinese are supposed to do
= everything just the opposite from
what we do Of course. that's silly,
though they probably think it's silly
for US to do just the opposite from
what they do.
But in one practice, at least, they
show more sense than we do. When
Chinaman meets friend he bows
and shakes, rot his friends hand. but
his own hand.
Historians tell us that handshaking
originate. among savages. Two men
of different tribes and unknown to
each other would meet in the forest
or on the plains. The one who, first
saw the other would hold up his right
hand to show that he had no weapon
in 1t. This custom survived in the
Roman salute which you can see in
"Quo Vadis" and still exists in the
salute Of the Fascist. When Mus
solini's legions marchpas their chief,
they all greet him with the right arm
raised and the open palm turned to-
ward the reviewing stand. ''
In the Middle ages. the knights
weren't satisfied to have their asso-
ciates show an empty hand, they
wanted t, hold each others right
hand, so as to be sure that the bther
fellow couldn't pull a knife. So when
two knights met they grasped hands
and didn't let go as long as they were
within striking distance. $50
Today handshaking is survival of
these ole customs. 1t Is not only
meaningle, IS but it Is a severe phys
ical strain on presidents. governors
and other prominent men. Many a
candidate has worn himself out shak.
ing hands for votes.
But handshaEing is not only tire
some. it is dirty and dangerous. We
handle all sorts. of unclean things
with our bare hands-door knobs,
books and newspapers. car rails and
straps, things that hundreds of other
people have handled. Then we meet
a friend who has also handled dirty
things and for fear we' may have
some kind of dirt he hasn't, we clasp
hands and rub them together.
When we have a cold. we cough
into our hands and when we meet our
friends, we give them each sample.
We swap colds and wonder why our
own doesn't get better or why We
have a new one.
In the winter and spring, when
colds and coughs are common. keep
your hands clean, wear gloves and
when you rect your friends shake
hands Chinese fasaion. Especially be
careful to wash sour hands before
eating.
