BLOODY WEDNESDAY"

and also of the employed workers on
account of the unlawful dissolution of
the trade union council was tremen-
dous. The workers perceived the OBJ
iect of the Polish coalition authorities
and continued the work of organizing
the unemployed in spite of the fact
that the trade union council was dis
solved.
On Wednesday, March 81, imme-
diately before Easter, a delegation of
unemployed went to the district gov
ernor and demanded payment of the
unemployment benefit that had long
been promised them. The governor
refused to receive the delegation, and
his deputy, who received the delega-
ton, behaved in very rude and inso-
lent manner. At the same time the
local magistrates also refused to re-
ceive the delegation and to take note
Of their request. The delegation re-
turned empty handed.
Shoot Unarmed JobIess
The desperate unemployed workers
and their wives, who had waited for
days for the unemployed dole for
Easter, were reused to the greatest in
dignation on account of this criminal
and contemptuous ignoring of their
minimum demands on the part of the
well-fed officials of the coalition gov
eminent; they formed procession of
over 1900 unemployed and marched
to the Office Of the governor and de-
manded work or maintenance. A por-
ton of the unemployed forced their
way into the premises of the governor
and demanded payment out of the un-
employed dole. The crowd waited
calmly outside. In the meantime a
body Of police go men) appeared on
the scene.
The crowd greeted the police with
boots, but otherwise. remained quite
calm. Suddenly, without any reason
and without any warning, there was
given the commando fire" Shots
were fired into the crowd. The blood
of the workers who were shot down
splashed the walls OF the governors
house. The surprise and terror of the
demonstrators was tremendous. They
dispersed as quick as lightning. The
Polish police achieved a victory over
unarmed. demonstrators. Four dead

six died later, are 70 be recorded to

PARTRIDGE SEASON
FOR 1926 is CLOSED

In order to give additional
protection to the Ruffed Grouse
or Partridge in Minnesota Gov.
ernor Theodore Christensen on
request of Commissioner J. F.
Gould of the Game and Fish De
partment has issued an order
forbidding the shooting of this
popular game bird this year.
The law provides for an open
season beginning October 18th
and extending to November goth,
but on account of the unusual
depletion in supply of partridge
by reason of disease, inclement
weather during each season and
other causes the past two years
it was deemed necessary to give
the partridge or ruffed grouse
additional protection for another
year.
Reports from all sections
where partridge have been num-
erous in the past years establish
the fact that they are practically,
extinct at this time. Some dis
ease has been the main cause of
extinction and many specimens
have undergone inspection at the
hands of scientists at the Cornell
University and the State Univer-
sity at the request of Commits
sioner Gould. At this time the
source of disease remains much
of mystery.

WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page /,

-. s =
In the argument before the
War Department and the Con-
gressional committees the ques-
ton is raised as to the effect on
our Canadian neighbors. 1t
seems quite likely that this issue
will develop to make it cam
paign in the fall or possibly hold
over until the presidential cleo
tions.
+. Effort to make the tariff a
subject for debate in the forth
coming elections have succeeded.
The Senate has adopted a resolu-
ton authorizing investigation in
the affairs of the Tariff Com
mission. Therefore, we may ex-
pect a wide assortment of
charges. and counter-charges be-
tween now and the first Tuesday
in November election day.
The patronage situation is
reaching imposing proportions
nowadays. The Postmaster Gen
eral has become involved in bit
ter controversy as to patronage
in Mississippi, Texas, and several
other states. Resolutions have
been introduced in the House
asking for Investigations into the
activities of the Post Office De-
partment as to appointments but
it is doubtful if they will get be-
yond the talking stage at this
session. It would be decidedly
harmful to the Administration to
have an inquiry into patronage
before the primaries.
Meanwhile, both parties have a
staff of experts preparing sum-
maries of accomplishments lndi-
vidually and collectively, on the
part of the Senate and the House,
and the executive departments.
This data will naturally be inter
preted to suit the needs of it's
proponents and distributed as
campaign propaganda within a
few days. 1t is curious how
items which during the consider
alton were regarded as insignifi.
cant, become great accomplish
ments when the voting season is
at hand.
