OBITUARY.
The sudden death of Capt. Charles
H. Hodgkins was shock to his
many friends. Two weeks ago he
heart trouble, but he had so far re-
covered as to be able to be about
the house, and even take short
ride. Thursday morning he seemed
to be better, and after breakfast
sat on the porch to read the paper
There a neighbor found him. The
Great Pilot had called, and he had
answered the summons.
Capt. Hodgkins was born in La
moine sixty-seven years ago, son
Of the late Francis D. and Clarissa
Coggins Hodgkins. The sea called
him in his youth, and he became a
successful sea captain. He made
several trips to the Grand Banks.
The ports of our southern states, the
West Indies, and the Gold Coast of
Africa were we'll known to Capt
Hodgkins. Among his closest
friends were the sea captains of
Maine-those who had charge of
sailing vessels twenty-five years ago.
He retired from the sea about
twenty years ago. For several years
he and Mrs. Hodgkins have spent
their winters at Stuart, Fla, return
ing to their home here for the sum-
mer.
Capt. Hodgkins is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Grace Leland of
Trenton, and five children-Mrs.
Hazel Junior of Alfred, Joseph B.
Of New York, DR.. Charles H. of
Philadelphia, Howard D. of New
York, and Roger of Lamoine. There
are three little grandchildren, who
were very dear to him. He is also

World Labor Protests.

From the labor movement, not only
in America but also across the Allan
tic and in far off Australia, come reso-
buttons denouncing the dastardly
frame-up against the miners. These
resolutions show the workers. are
aroused against the disgraceful frame
up, and the workers stand amazed at
the action of the fake labor leaders
aiding in the prosecution.
The victims of the frame-up are all
miners, formerly employed by the FOL
Ter Coal company in Zeigler, Ill. These
miners have been imposed upon for
years, and the climax came when the
coal company arbitrarily discharged
the miners assistant check-weighman
thereby denying the miners proper
weighing service.

BY WILLIAM F. KRusE.

THE second federal conference of
l. Association of Former Political
Exiles" has just ended with a big
meeting at which speeches were de-
livered in commemoration of the Tooth
anniversary OF the Dekabrist Upris-
ing and Of the goth anniversary of the
1905 revolt, the speakers including F.
Kon, Vera Figner and Leon Trotsky.
The former war commissar especially
received an Unprecedented ovation
and delivered classic speech.
The society now consists Of 1929
who have undergone penal servitude,
129 who were exiled. ASS who were
banished, 129 sentenced to death, and
SO who had been sentenced to impris-
onment for life. Totalling up their
various punishments it was found that
they had to their credit 1O,0S6 years
of Imprisonment, 1,041 years of exile,
1,244 years in emigration, while one
had been 20 years in solitary confine-
ment, others %, 10 and Is years, and
some had spent as much as Is years
in chains.
Considerable interest in the revolu-
tionary past is being stimulated by
excellent exhibits in the revolutionary
museums in Moscow and Leningrad.
The various revolutionary periods are

separated and consist OF paintings,
original drawings, cartoons, and vari-
GUS documents of the periods in ques-
ton. More and more material is be-
ing unearthed even concerning the
Dekabrist revolt of a hundred years
back, often coming from simple Siber-
ian peasants among whom the exiles
spent many weary years. 1.-THE Men
agerie" the famous torture cell at
Schluesselberg is reproduced, as is
the cell in which Vera Fenger spent
many years. Originals and replicas
Of the most noted underground print
ing presses, diagrams of the methods
of their concealment, original copies
Of some of the most important edi-
tons, all these contribute greatly to
the interest and value of the exhibits.
Constant streams of workers, school
children, peasant delegations and sol
diers stream thru the musuems under
capable guides to make acquaintance
with their illustrious revolutionary
past.
The story is also being told in in.
Vulnerable forms in films and stage
plays, and all the thousands of Rus
sian bookstores feature an unlimited
libarary of books and pamphlets,
while clubrooms, factories, and store
windows put forth no end of inspiring
picture of the revolutionary days.
Even the new commemorative postage
stamps serve the memory of the great
past struggles for the emancipation
of the workers.

MiIitants Were Reelected:

This reelection was held. 1t was
presided over by the representatives
OF the International Union because
John L. Lewis knew that the miners
would have no confidence in an cleo
ton held under the Farrington-Fox
machine, the feeling being so bitter
against it. Lewis, of course, was try
ing to curry favor with the outraged
miners, but the order that this cleo
ton be held under the international
auspices resulted in the reelection Of
the former militant group of miners
who had been illegally removed.

World Labor Rallies to Aid.

This fight is the fight of all organ
lied labor in America. All organized
labor must rally to the support of the
Zeigler victims of the frame-up. From
many trade unions come the report
that they have passed resolutions and
donated as much money as they can
to aid the. miners in their noble fight
against this crime. From Great Brit
ain, France, Germany, Canada, Aus
tralia, and in fact from all over the
world the workers are denouncing the
outrage. Rally to the miners defense,
and send resolutions to Frank Far
rington protesting against his aid to
the prosecutors of the miners!

Brutal Murder of Coal Digger.

After the miners had heckled Fox
and had shown his excuses and expla-
nations to be untrue, Fox, in despera-
ton provoked 'rough-house." One
of his thug supporters, a Kentucky
Coal company scab, drew his gun and
shot militant miner, member Of
the Workers Community Party, who
vas taken to the hospital in Herrin
where he died a few days afterwards.
This thug has never been tried, and
today is at liberty with no charges
against him. The lights in the hall
were shot out, and chairs were broken
over the heads of many of the audi
ence. In the melee, the Fox got his
Uranium cracked and spent a few
days in the hospital.

Provoked Trouble.

All eye-witnesses state that the Fox
gang provoked trouble from the mo-
ment they entered the hall, and lin
their desperation was prepared to go
to any length to gain their ends.
Immediately after the murderous
shooting in the union hall, Fox, with
the support of the coal company and
the ku klux khan, had the state au-
thorities bring the charges of conspir-
acy and attempt to murder against the
militant miners who had been present
at that meeting.
Never since the frame-up against
Tom Mooney has the world of labor
stood aghast at such disgraceful
spectacle as the one now to be seen
n the courts at Benton, III.

Militant Labor Shocked.

1t is well for the laboring class to
stop and ask, what is the significance
Of this trial, To what extent will the
verdict affect the laboring masses.
If the frame-up should succeed in rail-
reading these men to jail it will set
back the militant movement for many
years, and in many places will prac-
tically destroy all organized labor in
the United Mine Workers Union for
a long time to-come. Not only will it
have this effect in the U. M. w. of A.,
but all organized labor will be sub
jected to similar processes.

Aids Coal Company.

1t was a usual sight last summer to
see these miners sitting in groups
ready to protect their homes against
the thugs who had threatened to
shoot up their homes, because the
coal diggers refused to submit meekly
to the coal company outrages.
Fox, the. sub-district president had
been appealed to, many times, from
the decision of the coal operators, and
this individual sustained the decision
Of the coal owners in mostly every
case.

: They Want to Jail the Coal Diggers

they set out to destroy all the influ-
ence o fthe progressive miners. They
expelled miners right and left, upheld
the decisions of the operators against
the miners, and created a reign Of ter
ror in the Zeigler local of the union.
The feeling became so intense
against the Fox machine not only in
zeigler, but turnout the sub-district,
that the Fox, and the Cobb, saw they
were being repudiated to such an ex-
tent that reelection was out Of the
question for them.

The Fox GANG Attends local.

Many meetings of the miners had
been held to discuss the outrages, and
the miners at each meeting had unani-
mously registered themselves against
the betrayals. Finally Fox agreed to
attend meeting of the miners to ex-
plain his actions in sustaining the de-
cisions of the coal company. Fox
came to this meeting with dozens of
carloads of men who were reported to
be heavily armed, and prepared to
bully thru their program in any way
necessary.

Lewis Compelled to Check His
harrington Allies.

This is the same Fox that holds his
Office by the theft of the last ballot
in that sub-district. This is the same
Fox who has done his damndest to re-
move all local union officials from
their Office; this the same Fox who,
with the aid of Frank Harrington, did
finally succeed in removing from the
local unions most of the officers who
refused to bow their knee to the
Harrington machine, and these are the
same harrington and Fox whom even
John L. Lewis was finally compelled
to stop in their process of destroying
the miners union in Zeigler, Lewis
having been forced to order a new
election in zeigler after Farrinton
and Fox had firmly planted their tools
in these Offices in vialation of the con-
stitutional law Of the miners.
