comes the news that Soviet repre-
sentative has left Moscow for Riga
to conclude a similar treaty with Lat
via. Should such a treaty be success
fully accomplished, the Soviet Union
will have delivered two telling blows
against the policy of Intervention
which is being inspired by Chamber
lain in the Baltic and the Balkans
against Russia.
Pilsudski, in the meantime, actively
supported by London, continues to full

been held in Warsaw, lasting four

heightened the German desire TO rem.

Thru the delegates at Thursday

call. 1--WE know that anyone who had

would never consider that anything
warranted a retrial

''But workers all over the world
stand united in their determination

Several years ago the De Laurens
were very active in the radical move

soap-boxer in cities from coast to
coast. During the war he had Red
Cross assignment, the loss of leg
IN the Spanish-American war having
unified him for active service. In
l920-21 he was state organizer for the
Private Soldiers and Sailors Legion,
and was candidate for state treasurer
on the farmer-labor ticket. During

mors began to float around that this
fellow was spy in the employ Of

could be proven and he continued his

strike-breakers, declared a third.
Arrest Them Anyhow.
One car was stopped by policeman
and the pickets IN the car arrested
on disorderly conduct charges. They
were bailed out by the Paper Box
Makers Union, conducting the strike
for higher wages, the 44-hour week,
union shops and better sanitary con-
ditions. Another car vas stopped later
and the driver forced to take down
the signs. He asked If 1t were VIC
lation to advertise a strike, asserting:
Every show that comes to town is
allowed to advertise itself in a similar
manner" The policeman answered
that this wasn't advertising" but

driver asked if the union demands
were bolshevism, the cop got sore and
threatened arrest.
