MAkQU ETTE. Mich, Oct. d
On" Of Michigan : most hafflin9
crimes had been solved today with
the recovery from Spear S Dock,
near here, cf tine bodies # Emil
S5koogland and ArviI Erickson,
game wardcns missing for several
days.
The finding Of the bodies at 2:30
clock this morning came as a eli
max to an all night dragging of
the waters Of Lake Superior after
Roy Num-, the alleged murderer Of
the two men, had pointed out
Spear 5 dock as the place where the
bodies were concealed.
Several pounds OF bricks and
other wcightv materials had kept
the bodies submerged in IS feet of
water, while practically all Of
northern Michigan had been search
cd for trace Of the two warGenS
during the last three weeks.
Num- had been held in custody
for several days following con-
fcssion made by Joe Tonters, who
said that he had left Num- in the
custody Of the two officers on the
day that they disappeared.
Tonters made his confession dur
ing the heat OF Il search for the
two wardens.
He said that he and Num- We're
hunting deer when they were sur
priscd by the two wardens and ar
rested.
"After the Officers saw that |
had no gun, they told me to 80,
Tonters said. - struck out over
the hill and looked back as top
red it. / saw that Num- had gain
ed the upper hand and had the two
Officers under control with his riff
le. | went on, but short time lat
CT heard several shots"
Num- was arrested following this
but remained obstinate in his d.
nal of the crime until last night
when he led officers to Pickercl
Lake, several miles from Sands,
where the murder was committed.
- thought about hiding them
hcrc.' he said, "but couldn t find
= suitable place. | took them on
over TO Spear 5 dock.
Authorities Immediately began, a
search cf the doe, waters and fin
ally discovered the bodies.
Formal charges of murder We're
to be placed against Num- today.
Num-, Il IS year old man, has
spent 23 l2 years of his life in pris-

SACRAMENTO. Oct 22.-Califor-
mas state senate by vote of "a
to 3 today rejected Governor Rich
ardson S proposal for unconditional
ratification Of the six state Colo
RADIO river pact and adopt a substi
tute resolution of Senator Ralph
Swing of San Bernardino re-affirm-
ing ratification of the pact with
reservation.
The action came after less than
half an hours debate in the senate.
Governor Message
The governor S message to the
legislature was much along the lines
of his proclamation calling the spe-
cial session. He added that in
calling this session | have had hut
one purpose, and that is ratification
of the Six State Colorado River
Compact. As l am retiring from the
office of governor, after four years
of public service. no one can hon
estlv say that / have any personal
motives III connection with this
measure.
81 hope the members of the Cal-
ifornia legislature will consider this
matter on its merits, free from any
political or partisan motives. There
is vital need for immediate ac-
tion in order to protect the lives and
property of the Imperial Valley.
Last summer a few inches further
rise in the flood would have sent
the water pouring down through
New river and into the Salton sea.
Indication that the governor fore
saw a bitter fight and possible de-
feat Of his proposal in the special
session. was given bv another sting
ing attack upon Senator Hiram
johnson.

legislature would "refuse to ratify
the 10 commandments should a re-

olution-in the minds Of our ruling
class-thru a growing consciousness
that what they have ben thinking as
impossible is quite probable.
George w. Hinman, one of the eco
nomic experts for the Hearst Syndi-
cate, sums up the fears of his class
in this fashion.
dis there any European event
which would signify more to Amer
lean business than the breakdown
OF the whole modern business ma
chine of Great Britain? Is there
any European event which would
cause America to look more anx-
iously to her business buIwarks7 :.
That is one serious thot. Another
serious thot is that unfortunately,
British example seems usually to
take strong hold in the United
States"
And some even betray their nerv-
BUSINESS by suggesting a practical
American solution" of the British cri.
sis. For instance, the Minneapolis
Journal has editorially made the fol
lowing suggestion:
1--WE Americans just now have a
splendid opportunity to exempiify
our world citizenshipsby extending,
at little or no cost to ourselves, the
helping hand that may pull our
friendly neIghbor, Great Britain,

out of chaos and thereby protect
our own country from the grave con
sequences that would be most GER
tainly reflected here were the Brit
ish empire to go on the rocks :.
Why cannot Washington offer Great
Britain moratorium for the net
three years, covering whatever por-
tons of the annual payment may be
Necessary to keep the coal subsidy
alive until the emergency has
passed.
"If Great Britain might thereby
be helped out Of her plight, the prop
to world economy stability would
repay US for our pains many tlmes
over"
THE American Trade Union move
L ment owes much to the British
Trade Union movement Numerous
English workers were among the
leaders of the pioneers, in laying the
foundation Of our present Trade Union
organizations. We have learned
much in the past from the British
working class. We can learn much
more now. Today the British working
class Is in the front ranks of the
workers of the world and can teach
many a lesson in class solidarity to
the workers Of the United States. We
have very much to learn and gain
from the heroic British example.

gossip its concern was the sys-
tematic diversion Of the minds of
the workers from their growing
realization Of economic and Indus
trial conditions. Every device of
journalism, from the dazzling con-
temptation Of the power, the SUI
premacy and the greatness of the
British empire to the encourage
ment of popular interest in the best
bunch Of sweet peas (for which a
prize of E 1000 was offered) con-
tributed to this end.
"The workers on the Harmsworth
papers themselves were kept queit
and contented with good conditions
and high wages. Today" declared
Mckenzie in 1921, the staff Of the
Daily Mail, working on a five days
a week basis, be it said is, without
exception, the most highly paid in
the world At his, death, Lord
NorthcIiffe was widely commemo-
rated as the workers friend"
This is the same Daily Mail which
recently financed a so-called Labor
Delegation to America in order to
have the English workers learn the
blessings of Yankee imperialism. "The
Open Shop Review" for March, the
organ of the National Metal Trades
Association, one of the most bitter
open shop organizations in this coun-
try, has hailed this venture of the
Daily Mail as monumental achieve
ment and has declared that "the idea
originated with Prime Minister Bald
win"
Not even the spirit of Lord North
cliffe" could induce the workers to
print an appeal to the masses ito hold
themselves at the service of king and

of course, the sympathy OF the
" American workers is with then
British brothers. This sympathy IL
far more genuine and deep-going than
the fainthearted statement OF Presi-
dent Green OF the American Fedora
ton of Labor would indicate.
But our bourgeoisie are deeply
stirred and much disturbed by the
events in England. Magistrate Dou-
ras, sentencing striking fur-workers in
New York, said, the other day:
"These people must realize that the
United States is not like England
This is somewhat OF a revelation.
Only yesterday, the strong refrain OF
our capitalist apologists was: that
the United States is not like Soviet
Russia. The United States is an An

is like England. Yes. This statement

Workers Role in History

FOR years bourgeois dictatorship ruled the
world;
Its bloody tyrannies the workers need not be
told.
All bourgeois institutions and the political state,
At the command of the masters never hesitate
To defend the robber system in the name Of
fake democracy
But the workers are learning, seeing through
hypocrisy.
Yet the yellows praise democracy and peace
full evolution"
They run in circles to avoid the proletarian rev.
oution,
They turned Marx, as Lenin said, Unto q
hackneyed liberal"
And in the name of Marx these traitors carry
on betrayal.
Proletarian dictatorship is frightful to these
fellows,
For they fear they day may swing upon
the gallows.
The proletariat, taught by experience OF bour-
geois history,
When the time comes viii abolish the bloody
tyranny,
And having conquered the political state,
AS long as the enemys resistance lasts, shall
not hesitate
To defend the great cause now in victory;
And thatll be the last dictatorship known to
history.
