7 TAYLOR Is
SURRENDERED
BY B0NDSMEN
Man Who. Was Involved in
Bowen Shooting in 1919
Is Again in Jail

Beach, N. D., Feb. 24.-Ennis W.
TAYLOR, central figure in tragedy
of years gone by. involving the shoot
ing to death Of NJ. X. Bowen, a ranch
'ers of this county, is. again. in Jail.
Bondsmen have surrendered Tay-
lor into the custody of the sheriff OF
Golden Valley county, and he is held
here, Notwithstanding the fact that
the state has for long time been
prepared to dismiss the charge Of
murder that was lodged against Tay-
lor at the time of the Bowen killing
Involved in the case is a peculiar
legal phase, that of lost jurisulction
insofar as the courts are concerned,
and until this situation is clarified
and the prosecuting officers of Col
den Valley county can find judge
who will assume jurisdiction, Taylor
seems doomed to remain in Jail.
The killing of Bowen, back in 1919,
was sensational, made SO by COM
bination of circumstances that re-
suited in the case becoming more or
less political.
Charged With Poisoning
Bowen charged that his cattle
were being poisoned. lie had lodged
complaints to that effect with state
authorities. Then followed the death
of Bowen in an alteration with Tay-
lor and a companion. Offley.
Out Of Bismarck there arose a
great cry from the then reigning adj
nistraton, that of Lynn j. Frazier
Nonpartisan papers took up the case
charging that Bowen, the Nonparti.
san, had been slain by his enemies
And efforts were made to make il
appear that politics was responsible
for the shooting.
The then States Attorney Gallagh.
er Of Golden Valley county, under
fire from the state administration
told the governor to name his owl
prosecutor in the case, and Leslie
Simpson, Dickinson, was appointed
Simpson has been out Of the cast
four years.
On change Of venue the case:
were taken to Adams county ant
there Offley was found not guilty
1t was disclosed that the shooting
of Bowen was done in self defense.
TaylOr's Case Untried
Taylor's case remained untried
and by stipulation it was arranged
/, that the case should be again trans
ferred this time to Burleigh count
and that it should be tried befor
Judge VI. l.. Nuessle, then distric
| judge.
Judge Nuesslc refused to assume

cognizant Of the details of the case.
] It was then that an effort wa
| made to have Judge H. L. Berry, be
/ fore whom the Offley case had beer

/ ing "A motion to dismiss the Taylo
case, for the state was prepared t.

Judge Berry held he had lost jur

In the meantime, and over per

Several days ago, bondsmen decld

SENATE APPROVAL is
EXPECTED BEFORE NIGHT

Washington. Fcp. 24-tP) The sem
ate today took up consideration of
the $387 100000 tax reduction bill
with final passage of the measure
believed certain before night.
Only senate approval of the COM
promise bill as agreed to by the
house and senate conferees was nee
essary to make it ready for the sig
nature Of President Coolidge.
Senate rules were laid aside by
unanimous consent to permit the con-
ference report to be considered to-
day.
Opening debate, Chairman Smoot OF
the finance committee and head OF
the senate confcrccs said the treas
ury could stand the proposed cut in
tax receipts although it was above
that first declared possible by Secre-
tary Mellon.
Expected prosperity in business
would swell receipts above estimates,
he said, while Continued economy by
the administration would hold gov
ernment expenses down."

TWO MEN DID SHOOTING
Mysterious Telephone Call
May Shed Some Light on
the Killings
TWO MEN DID SHOOTING

St. Paul, Feb. 2l-GP-Tracing of
telephone call may shed some light
today on the brutal slayings Of two
st. Paul patrolmen here early yester-
day.
Fellow workers recalled that Off,
Ger John Schultz. who was slain with
his partner, Fred A. Peitsch. had re-
ccivcd the call at the precinct station
at 0:45 p. m. Monday.
Apparently Schultz made an APP
poiritment on the telephone TO meet
some one about 4 q. m. Tuesday. Halt
an hour before that time nc ana
Pcitsch were shot down by two men
after an argument lasting 10 mi-
nutcs lin the street in residential
section. After they had been wound
cd. the officers were shot again to
make certain their death.
Police, who characterized the slay-
ings as the most "cold bloodcd MUIR
ders" in the history of st. Paul, ad-
vanccd the theory that liquor law
viOlators or professional gunmcn shot
the officers to avoid arrest.
Two men did the shooting in the
opinion of police. The coroner said
the bullets found in Peitsch's body
were from .38 calibre revolver. and
those from Schultz were Of 80 cali
brc.
The Dispatch and the St. Paul Pion-
Ger Press have offered $1,000 reward
for arrest and conviction oS the slay-

the Lena workers were shot down by
the cars cossacks, trying to draw the
absurd conclusion that the same thing
would happen under Soviet rule. Does
he wish to wager anything more sub
stantial than his reputation as a
prophet that the same thing will occur
under Soviet rule to the Lena workers
as their massacre under the czardom
for striking? He takes great risk,
and would do we'll to hold his peace

about it on conjecture.

trayals' and prosecutions" such as

Where Is Russia Going?

TN previous articles we have dealt
L with the issues raised by an article
written from the anarchist point of
view which appeared in the I. w. w.
press as an attack on the Soviet gov
eminent We have covered the es-
sential issues basic to the anarchist
argument without reference to the
particular illustration used regarding
the Lena Goldfelds concession.
A member Of the l. w. W., upon
reading the articles and it's introduce
tory note signed by the chairman Of
the G. E. B. saying that each and
every member has the privilege of ex-
pressing his or her ideas in conformity
with the aims of the /. w. w." thought
this included him. He therefore sub
mitted a very mildly-worded answer
to the officials of the I. w. w. on
June &c, but found that he was mis-
taken and his article was refused.
THE industrial unionist member Of
the I. w. w. who disputed the
points of his anarchist fellow-worker
dealt with the Lena Goldfelds con-
cession, since the attack on Soviet
Russia devoted much space to this
concession, without, however, really
saying much about it; an art which is
the special gift of all who try to at
tack Soviet Russia. To afford him
self some point of departure for roam
ing into the limitless fields of his
imagination, however, the anarchist
worker did bring out the following
concrete issues:
% The Soviet Metal Workers In.
dustrial Union had signed an agree
ment with the Lena Goldfelds, Ltd,
an English concern which is now pre-
pairing as a concession the properties
Of which the revolution had dispos-
sessed its owner. (2) The agree
ment runs for two years. (3) 1t is
conceded in the article that the de-
tails Of the agreement Indicates that
the workers we're getting much the
better Of the deal"
WTHAT'S wrong about this? The
w anarchist writer's chief complaint
Is that by this agreement the right
to strike has been taken away" In
fact, he contends that the right to
strike is abolished generally in Soviet
Russia. This is simply lie, as the
right to strike is guaranteed by the
Soviet Labor Code The enforcement
OF the other provisions Of the labor
code makes the strike weapon usually
unnecessary, however. Private capt.
tai, including the Lena Goldfelds, Ltd,
has TO pledge as one Of the terms OF
getting a concession to obey the labor
code. II may lose the entire conces.

ARTICLE vi.
BY HARRISON GEORGE.

sion if it violates this term. So much
for that sort of protection.
The right to strike also exists in
the state industries But against what
sort of employer would the strike be
directed? No "lily-fngered private
stockholders" exist in state industry.
1t belong to the workers of Soviet
Russia and its profits" go either (a)
to develop the industry; % to in
crease money wages; or, (c) to lower
prices-or all three at once. No para.
site class draws profits from owner
ship without working. A strike is,
therefore, against the interests of the
working class as whole, and is rarely
heard of.
The disputes over matters which
would otherwise lead to strikes are
settled by conference between work
ers and management. Reports show
that about 80 per cent of these dis
putes are settled in favor of the work
ers. OF the remaining ones which are
appealed to special labor tribunals, a
similar high percentage are settled in
favor of the workers. Thus there is
no reason to strike and consequently
strikes are very rare.
THERE is another point about the
4 Soviet government and its atti-
tude to strikes. If what the anarch-
lists in the l. W. w. say is true the
Russian workers are very harshly sup
pressed by their government. But
how does It happen, then, that they
send thru their unions thousands and
even millions of dollars to aid the
strikers in other lands, such as the
Ruhr miners, the Chinese strikers. the
Norwegian strike, the striking miners
of Nova Scotia and the general strike
and miners strike in England?
Perhaps the anarchists would reply:
"The Soviet government forces them
to contribute to strikes in capitalist
countries" But what becomes, then.
Of the argument that the Soviet gov.
eminent is capitalistic affair, op
posed to working-class interests as
much as any other government? Will
the anarchists please answer this
question II they can?
OUR anarchist friend admits that the
- Lena workers are getting much
the better of the deal" If so. why
should they not keep on getting Il for
two years? Is II a principle with him
that the workers have not only a right.
but duty TO strike. regardless Of
whether reason exists for Il? Whether
anything is to be gained by 1t?

posed when he goes back to the time
