SOCIALIST STOOL
PIGEON TESTIFIES
AGAINST WORKERS
Echo of Abramovich in
Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Calf, May A.
julius Rebelsky, the first Of eight
workers held for trial because they
protested the lies of Professor
Raphael Abramovich, counter-revolu-
tionary menshevik agent of the Sec
ond International, to his face when
he tried to address an audience of
workers in this city, was convicted
here and fined $50 by Judge Georgia
Bullock.
The remaining seven were granted
jury trials and the cases were set for
an early date.
The Los Angeles socialists, doing
their best to copy the counter-revoiu-
tionary record of the professor, took
the witness stand in the capitalist
court to testify against the workers.
Ike Weisenberg, member of the vel
low socialist party and it's chief stool
pigeon, declared in part:
"Abramovich came to America from
the socialist international particularly
to arouse public opinion against So.
Wet Russia"
His testimony was so plainly that
of police informer that even some
of the few remaining members Of the
socialist party were disguised.
But if the socialists were willing
to play the informer, Judge Georgia
Bullock, was willing to be informed.
All rulings were grossly unfair, and
the whole community is aroused over
the cases.

Communist Gains
Expected In French
Municipal Election

PARIS, France, May 4.--Indications
were that the Communists would
make material gains in the municipal
elections that have just taken place
turnout France. Dissatisfaction with
the treachery Of the Herriot left bloc
regime, which is still controlling the
Painleve government, is seen on every
hand.
Many workers are now following the
leadership of the Communists. Her.
riot supported the Dawes plan, and
the socialists are aiding the fascist
regime in France TO crush the revolt
Of the oppressed Moroccan colonists.

terrible feeling that "the w.. a. yet
to come" India is gathering her mil
lions for the big scrap with Britain.
The millions turnout Asia who have
experienced the hobnailed boot of
British imperialism on their necks
are in a state of incipient revolt. And
behind those millions is the Com
munist International, with its message
of salvation to the workers and peas
ants Of the world, putting into effect
the message of the immortal Marx:
Workers Of the world unite; you
have nothing to lose but your chains,
you have a world to gain" When
Britain loses her colonies ''finis" will
be written under the last chapter of
the history of the greatest robber en-
pire the world has ever known.
THEREFORE it is not surprising
that the British government
should take steps to meet this new
danger. Ever since the Campbell
case, when the editor Of the Work
ers' Weekly was arrested On a
charge Of sedition by the Ramsay
Macdonald government, and released
almost Immediately thru pressure
from the labor movement, ever since
then, It has been quite evident that
a more drastic policy would be
adopted by the British ruling class
towards the revolutionary movement
The 'Zinoviev letter" was evidence of
how low this gang of political pimps
would stoop to in order to gain their
ends.

L ment, in England, the successful
outcome Of the negotiations for inter
national trade union unity between
the Russian and the British workers.
the increase of revolutionary senti-
ment in the colonies and the decline

ruling class from power, presents
John Bull with a serious situation.
This accounts for most of the fake
plots and conspiracies that have inun-
dated Europe for months. Britain is
behind all this as the Soviet govern
ment knows quite well.
britain is now trying to organize
- a European bloc against Russia.
Britain will never make peace with
Soviet Russia, no matter how many
treaties she may sign. While all
capitalist nations are as corrupt and
as treacherous as they know how,
England can still show them cards
and spades. But Soviet Russia is on
to all her tricks, and will foil" them
as the capitalist journalists would say.

SOCIALISTS OF
FRANCE AID WAR

Unite with Spain Against
Rih1ans

PARIS, France, May 4.-The French
and Spanish governments have agreed
on united military operations against
the Rifian tribes in Spanish and
French Morocco, who are fighting for
independence from European impe-
rialism. The French troops in the
northern African colony are attacking
the natives from Fee.
Three columns of French troops are
operating against the Rifhans along
the Ouegha river over front 100
miles long. The French are trying
to cut off the southern base Of the
Rifians, in an effort to prevent the
native Moroccans from having pos
sible retreat into the mountains Of
Spanish Morocco.

Primo de Rivera, Spanish dictator,
will endeavor to land troops opposite
TO Alhucemas, where Abdel Krim, the
Moroccan leader has established head
quarters. Meanwhile the Spanish
deet intends to lombard the Rim pA-
sitions with gas.
The Italian fascist government,
jealous Of the plumber French and
Spanish capitalists have been secur-
ing from the oppressed Moroccan col
onies, has made a strong protest
against the combined action OF the
French and Spanish imperialists.

Mussolini has no love for the ma

that the Italian imperialists shall

Name Committee
TO See 10 Needs
OF the Hospital

A number Of citizens met with
Adolph andre at the city hall Fri
da yevening to discuss conditions
relative to St. Mary's Ringing
hospital.
DR.. Sullivan Of Madison who has
a long and varied experience in hos
pital work throughout the state,
gave a very interesting talk. He
complimented Baraboo on having
one Of the most up to date hosp t
ais in the state. He said that the
conditions confronting the institu
ton are no different than OF all 9th
er hospitals, particularly in the
smaller communities. He claims
that very few hospitals, even in
large cities, are self supporting,
that the overhead expenses so on
whether they have one or one hun
drod patients, that the hospitals
have to do a lot of charity work,
and no one is turned away because
he or she cannot pay. He said that
because the hospltal is not a i'm
ancial success is no reason why it
should not be encouraged and sup
ported as is done in the case Of
our schools churches and public Ii,
brarics. that the hospital is an in
dispe4sabie necessity in every com
munity Tor the alIevition of human
sunerings ard its invaluable SER
vices cannot be measured in dol
lars and cents.
While many of us may never
need hospital care, he said, it IS
worth something to know that
we have a first class hospital at
our doors if ever we do need it,
or as one of the speakers APPLY
expressed it when he said, Be
cause / don't need my telephone
vey often is no reason why I should
not maintain one all the time, for
! it is too late to install the phone
when I wan to use it."
It was the unanimous feeling OF
those present that the hospital is
one of the city's greatest assets,
and that it is deserving Of the gen
elous support of the entire COM
munity.

Adolph andre to appoint COM
mittee to devise means to pro-
lvida for the financial needs OF tie

CAsHED $3.50
IN LIBERTY
BONDS, CLAIM

After two nights of grilling Del
bert and Williams Bills, District
Attorney II. j. Bohn is almost con-
ffdent the. two brothers. held in
jail here, had nothing to do with
the murder of Julius, William and
Mary BaIzer on their farm in tie
town of Troy, August 9, 1922.
The men are being held on a
charge OF. receiving stolen goods of
the Balzer trio. They were taken
into custody in an attempt to con-
vert two $500 bonds of the deceas-
ed Troy farmers into cash. 1t was
brought out in the investigation
that William Bills had previously
converted $3.50 in Liberty bonds
OF the Blazers into cash in Madi-
son.
Rat Hole Leads to Find
William Bills, 81, the older of
the two brothers, when quizzed by
District Attorney Bohn and L. NJ
Shearer, special investigator, stat
ed a rat hole in the granary floor
led him to the discovery of the
miniature safe with the bonds.
Shortly after threshing time last
fall he noticed the hole in the
floor and discovered that the board
was not nailed down. He lifted 1t
I'D and saw wooded box. In the
box was the safe kept closed with
a paddock
William since leaving the Balzer
farm, which he and his brother
had rented after the murder, has
resided on the farm near Payne's
corners. He has a wife and three
children.
During his examination by the
authorities at the Jail here he had
q witty reply for those who put
questions to him in spite OF his
difficult situation.
The younger brother. Dclber-,
%, who has been working in Re
lott, was largely the tool Of his
older brother in attempting to dis
pose of the bonds. Mr.. Bohn be-
lieves.
In all probability the two men
will be released soon if they can
make good the $3.50 obtained from
the cashed Liberty bonds.
There has not been the slight
est clue unearthed in the grilling
Of the pair which could be used TO
hold them in connection with the
murder Of the Blazers.
William Bills was taken over tbs
scene Of the murder on Cassel
Prairie by the authorities Wednes-
day night in the hope that he might
throw some light on teunsolved
mystery. The trip was uneventful
as far as obtaining any new evil
dence was concerned.
