The paper has been invigorated with

HERRIN, ILL.,, Jan. 2o.-The

The inquest into the death of

a farce, with two klansmen, Ar

to the fact that Young kept his wife

This state Of affairs is unsatisfac
tory to the farmer. He does not wan
to insure his crop because he feels
that the hail tax is too big for him
to pay. His condition under the CAM
talist system is such that he must
save all he can and so, in order tc
escape paying taxes, he refuses to in
sure his crop This means that he is
without hail insurance protection and
when hail strikes down his crop he
sustains total loss.
A tax levied upon every acre of till.
able land in the state will mean a low
hail tax to the farmer-about an av
erage Of 10 cents per acre for 81 per

of five or six years. In this way the
crops Of all farmers can be insured
The majority of farmers are able to

This compulsory state hail insur.
ance system will Immediately simpIif,
the operation Of the state hail insur
ance department because all cropped
land is automatically insured and
there will be no Withdrawals.
Investment companies, real estate
men, bankers and spectators will, Of
course, object strenuously against
such law, but Communists are main
ly concerned with the farmer who
does the important work of raising tho
crops. If it were not for the working
farmers the land of the bankers and
spectators would not have any valu,
whatever.
The working farmers create the
land values and make 1t possible 70,
the spectators and absentee land
owners to sell their land at a profit.
For this reason, those who are not en-.
gagged in the work of producing crops,
but living of the labor of the farmers
should at least bear the burden of
paying part Of the hail tax.
This hail insurance arrangement
will not, Of course, solve any of the
underlying problems Of the poor farm,
er, serving merely to give the capitas

stool pigeon, Botterill, has gone into
the capitalist courts and gotten out
an injunction to keep Reynolds from
attending his local union meetings.
OF course, the left wing does not go
into capitalist courts, nor do they re-
cognize injunctions issued against la
Dor. They are always ready to lay
their case before the membership.
This is thing that labor takers like
Hutchinson are always afraid to do.
They will use all of the dirty, un-
demanded, inscriptions, and dishon-
est means at hand to enforce their
will, and If this is not enough they
win then step further into the muck
and appeal to the capitalist courts to
support them. Reynolds, the militant,
will fight the injunction but never
will he bring the case before a cap
italist court of his own volition.

count Of his stewardship.
A Few Questions for Hutcheson.
Why is he afraid to allow these
men a fair trial? Why cannot he
explain the signing Of the Chicago
agreement IL it is not a scab agree
ment? Why does he send in a COM
mittee to Philadelphia to railroad
Burgess out OF the Brotherhood, if
what he says Burgess said is not true?
The constitution protects Hutche
son just as it is supposed to protect
all members, and would protect them
IL 1t were lived up to. If Hutchinson
is the honest man he says he is, why
has he annulled Section IS Of the gen.
eral constitution?

Thus already in May and June the
production Of unbleached goods
amounted to rs million metres a

the Russian cotton mills.
Most British firms formerly had

amounted to BIOS per cent Of that of
October, that of May to 1913 per cent

In the summer of 1924 the output of

Home Grown Production Increases.
The Soviet cotton industry used for
this years production a total of seven

which 100000 pools were home
