FORMS UNIONS
AS 1T DISCARDS YOKE
OF IMPERIALIST WEST
By CARL HAESSLER

Chicago-(FP) - In strident tones
the Chicago Tribune, most powerful
imperialist organ outside of New
York, is beginning to call to the col
ors for armed opposition by the Unit
ed States to the progressive regime
in China. So convinced is it that a
large scale war is likely that it has
already begun to excite public senti-
ment against American pacifist OPP
position.
Firm, prompt, effective action, re-
CARELESS of the pacifists, is what the
Tribune wants against the successful
Cantonese government that has driv-
en- the warlords out of south and cen
trail China and is establishing labor
unions and education wherever it ad-
vances. With CantOn's onward march
the western imperialist powers are
! losing their special privilege of ex-
plotting the Chinese populations.
'STact as we'll as vigOr are re-
auired, but we have here humanT-
tartan as well as a national duty
to perform" the Tribune says edl-
torially on China, although we
are likely to have cries of protest
against effective action from our
sO-called humanitarians."
Perhaps the Tribune had in mine

MATUSKOF
DRY DICK
Redirect examination disclosed the
fact that witness had served under
many sheriffs and county attorneys
in different parts of the state and had
testified in the district courts of the
state in hundreds of cases.
The cross examination failed to
alter his direct testimony in any ma
terial point.
Elsie Hedderick On Stand
At four o'clock, Wednesday after
noon, Elsie Hedderick, the states
star witness, a nine-year-Old girl,
who was directly responsible for the
charge against Joe Kittock, was put
on the stand, following the lengthy
cross examination of George Matus-
kof. The little girl had been sitting
in the court room during the day and
had listened to testimony t h a t her
"Uncle Joe" had threatened to shut
her mouth forever before the day of
the trial-that she would not testify
against them. If she was nervous she
gave very little evidence of it, but in
the preliminary questions answered
/ clearly. These questions were but to
establish competency of witness and
the defense made but little effort to
disqualify her.
! The testimony showed that she had
lived at Poplar and at various times
had come to Scobey for visits of short
! duration, and that at those times she
stayed at Grandma KittOck's place
where her Uncle Joe lived. That on
