Victim of K. K. ks
Ex-Grand Dragon
May Yet Recover

INDIANAPOLIS, April 13.-Indi-
ana's best medical minds were baffled
today by the condition of Miss Madge
Oberholtzer, %, victim of a criminal
attack with which D. G. Stephenson,
politician and former ku klux khan
organizer, has been charged.
Unconscious for the greater part Of
the fifteen days that have elapsed
since she swallowed a slow poison
after the attack, Miss Oberholtzer has
taken but little nourishment. Her
temperature has lowered around and
above 100. Yet her physicians admit
ted today for the first time that she
might recover.
The case is one OF the oddities Of
medical annals" DR.. ]. X. Kingbury,
who first attended the girl, declared.
Apparent relief from an infection Of
the right kidney has caused us to
postpone the contemplated operation.
We will await developments.
I'm most cases a victim OF poison
as strong as that Miss Oberholtzer
swallowed, would have died within a
week or ten days"
Stephenson's case comes up again
next Saturday when Judge James A.
Collins in criminal court is TO rule
on his motion to quash all charges
against him.
Should Judge Collins overrule
Stephenson's latest motion TO quash
the indictments, he cannot be brought
TO trial before June, County Prosecu-
tor Remy indicated. Eight murder
trials and a number Of lesser impor.
tant cases docketed ahead Of the
politicians case, are expected to hold

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 13.-If a
bill introduced in the state Legislature

The proposal was introduced by
Representative Rufin. 1t declares that
it is a misdemeanor punishable by

The bill makes no reference to

"That any employe, laborer, servant,
renter or share-crpoper who willfully
breaches a written contract between
employer and employee, laborer, ser

guilty of misdemeanor."
The penalty is a fine Of not less than
$40 and not more than $50, together
with Imprisonment in the county Jail

OPTIMISM OF
MIKE TIGHE
COMES EARLY
Manufacturer Says "No
Wage Increases"

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 49,
Mike Tighe, faker president of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers expressed an
un1ustifled optimism in his inter.
views with capitalist journalists here
Harmony, all is harmony" is Tighe'a
idea of the relations between the
members of the union and the steel
trust and its subsidiaries called "in-
dependents"
"Peace and Good Will"
This "peace and good will stun

lions with James H. Mutt, of Youngs.
town, Ohio, secretary-treasure Of
both the Western Bar Iron Associa,
ton and the Western Sheet and Tin
Plate Manufacturers Association.
These supposedly are independent
steel manufacturers.
Tighe is going down for nice va
cation to Atlantic City next month,
and while listening to what the wild
waves are saying, the manufacturers
are going to put over an agreement
for the wage scale that will be effec-
tive from July first onward for one
year.
What the scale will be is yet to be
determined, but Mutt has loosened up
with the opinion that no wage scale
increases can be agreed to. And the
Amalgamated has too much modesty
to let its demands be known-or else
Tighe is afraid to let the members
know the proposed union scale.
Glass Collaboration Theory.
The best that Tighe could offer as
policy of the union is quotation
from James J. Davis, secretary Of the
deportation department of Coolidge's
cabinet. Tighe says: Secretary
Davis is right when he said that en-
ployers and employees are learning
that fighting costs money. Our or
ganization is doing everything pos
sible to foster better relations be-
tween workers and employers"
This attitude of class collaboration
| is the dominating force in the Am
algamated union, as no progressive
element has yet appeared strong enuf
to cause Tighe to make even a pre-
tense Of class struggle. The whole
contrasts strongly with the spirit of
the unorganized steel workers of Nc.

have brought the charge against me
in my trial for treason.
"But not a word was heard Of it.
The truth is, as every one in Hun
gary knows, Bella Kun, the leader OF
the Bolsheviks, was arrested on my
order and imprisoned when he began
his crusading agitation. While he
was in prison the swift rush of events
broke the prison doors, released Bella
Kun, and brought on the rule Of the
Bolsheviks. This came as a stroke Of
fate, and nothing could have stop
ped it.
5lames Allies for 6oIsheVism.
ION March 20, 1919, the final blow
was given to us by the ultimatum of
the allies, rendered to me by the al
lied commission headed by Col. Vix.
This ultimatum demanded that we
should give up, again, large portion
of territory to the Roumanians. The
demarcational line thus drawn was
not any more a strategical but a po-
litical line.
ut was the foreshadowing of the
Versailles treaty, and it was in all
respects Numerically opposed to the
spirit and to the letter of the armis-
tice. I refused. But in doing so, l
warned for the last time the allied
commission that they were driving
the country into the arms Of the
Bolsheviks, and that the inevitable
consequence of this measure would
be war and civil war, war against
Ineighboring states, and civil war
within the country.
1--WE were dropped by the western
countries. We were not helped, not
understood, but even opposed by the
so-called paciflst allies with whom
we signed the armistice. To adjust
ourselves to all the wishes of the
allies concerning pacifism we had
disarmed our troops. The small army
we had was chiefly composed of in
dustrial workers. The reason for this
was that the peasantry, who had
spent four and half years in the
trenches, did not want to go into
military service. It was practically
impossible to recruit soldiers from
this strata Of the population. The way
in which we were treated economical
ly and politically by the allies helped
to make the spirit Of the army very
belligrent.
+ "The enormous masses Of unem-
ployed workers, the masses Of those
who were driven out from Roumania
and Czecho-Slovakia by the occupa-
ton Of the old Hungarian territories,
overheated the whole atmosphere.
Budapest, which had a population
Of 100000 during the war, increased
several hundred thousand. Just at the
time when the capacity for taking
care of the population was at its

eve not only had not coal sufficient
to light up the town, but we had not
sufficient trains to feed this increased
population, and hadn't enough lodging
possibilities. Thousands of people
had to be lodged in railroad coaches.
Ex-service men and ex-oflcers were
out of jobs. There was no possibility
for giving them any. Under these
conditions it was impossible to keep
up a coalition cabinet.
Proposes Socialist Party to Save
Bourgeois.
II proposed to form a party, a So
cialistic one. Again the whole cabi-
net agreed. Even the nationalists who
were consulted were Of the opinion
that nothing else could be done.
while this was going on, 1 got the
news that 10000 industrial workers
had gone over to the Bolshevik party.
'Bela Kun was the leader of the
Bolshevik movement in Hungary, and
was at that time in prison.
"The actual reason that / decided
to nominate purely socialist govern
ment was, as l said, to stop the Boil
sheviks.
Secondly, as nobody wanted to &C
cept Col. Vix's ultimatum, we had
to prepare ourselves for forcible re-
sistance. A coalition with the lead
ing spirit of pacihsm was already
shipwrecked.
THAT very night the Hungarian
Soviet was proclaimed.
"The government troops had prac-
tically all gone over to the Bolshe-
viks. So, thru the force of conditions
that could not be controlled, 1 ceased
to be president Of the Hungarian re-
public.
81 hadn't known, hadn't even seen
Bella Kun before the Bolsheviks
seized power His name had only
been known for two months when he
came back from Russia, after having
been war prisoner there for several
years. He was a good agitator and
was convincing man.
Il am absolutely sure that Bolshe-
vism in Hungary was not made with
the help of Russian money. But you
cannot, in any country, under any
circumstances, make much Roadway
with propaganda if that propaganda
doesn't appeal to the masses in gem
eral.
For six months we tried hard, and
didn't succeeded in persuading the al
lies that it was impossible to carry
on the policy they did. Contradictory
as it seems, it was a nationalist move
ment more than anything else that
characterized this second revolution.

the Red army in masses, and it was

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 1s.-The

ander Howat speak on "Labor's Pris-

Caroline Lowe, In an effective
speech showed that the 100 per cent

al syndicalism law from Europe. Now
it was being actively used to Jail
workers of the United States, in Mich
lgan and California particularly.
When Howat was introduced he
was given a rousing welcome. and
Ill thru his speech each point made
brought tremendous applause.
"The Kansas soldiers gave up their
lives in the world war for democracy"
said Howat, 'but they got the indus
trial court law that put the working
class back fifty years."
Officials Succeeded Where Govern

"All the power in the state Of Kan
sas could not enforce the industrial
court law against the militant miners.
And Governor Allen pulled in his
horns when the miners gave determin-
ed battle.
Neither the governor Of Kansas
nor the industrial court could demo
ralize the miners union, but the
Lewis machine, the officials of the
union, could and did demoralize it.
"The dearly beloved public, &C.
cording to the idea Of the capitalist
politicians are the Is per cent of the
people who have been riding on the
backs Of the IS per cent, the work
ers. The Communists are put in Jail
under the criminal syndicaIism law
because they support the workers
against the parasites.
Anyone who stands for the work
ers' rights is a radical. A conserva.
tive is one who will get along with
any salary and is always ready to
compromise with the boss and thinks
1t proper for workers to get starvation
wages.

WIN HOT STRIKE
Give Militant Lesson to
Sleepy Union
Especial 20 The Daily wOrker.)

McKEESPORT, Pa, April 1S.- A
Neutrality-suspicious. strike, splendid de-
monstration of solidarity and 1900 I'M
organized steel workers at McKees-
port, Pennsylvania, made the bosses
come to terms and won a complete
victory last Wednesday. An attempt
made to increase the present speed
up system failed utterly.
On Tuesday afternoon while the
second shift was at work in the Nc
Keesport Tin Plate Co., at Port View,
a suburb of McKeesport, the boss
notified one young husky roller that
from now on the iron bars would have
to be given an extra passing thru
the rolls, increasing the passings
from four to five with no extra pay.
The roller and the catcher just re-
fused, dropped their tools and walked
out.
Complete Spontaneous Strike.
Immediately they were followed by
the crews from the "A different sets
Of rolls, popularity called mills, with
il men to a crew. The third shift
that day and the early shift next
morning remained out and struck with
them, a total of 1900 men. Not one
single individual could be discovered
at work in the mill on that morning.
On Wednesday, just before the time
when the second shift usually starts
working, notices were posted all over
the mill, signed by the management,
stating that it had receded from its
demand of five passings and were will
ing to continue on the old basis. The
management saw the necessity of
complete surrender before such de-
monstration Of solidarity and the
workers returned as united as they
had come out.
The demonstration made is so much
more significant when one recalls that
not only has this steel mill never been
organized, but in addition the most
ruthless campaign of opposition to la
Dor organization Of any kind has been
carried on for years in McKeesport,
Pa. The present mayor of the city,
Lysle, openly boasts of his record of
prohibiting labor organization in the
steel mills and working class meet
ings for any purpose whatever within
the city. He claims he has been re-
elected on this record.
Unoreanized More Militant Than
"ProgressiVes."
The workers, however, have now
become quite convinced that when.
ever they unitedly take matters into
their own hands, the opposition Of all
the kings horses and all the kings
men cannot stop them. The militant
workers in this mill are now endeav.
oring to take full advantage of this
experience and are proposing the or
ganization of shop committees.
The victory won by the decisive &C.
ton of these unorganized workers will
perhaps convince the timid progress
sives who belong to the union but
are fearful Of fighting for militant pol
icies that after all these steel work
ers are not so backward.
