"These people are not seeking
charity" Chairman Johnson flung
back. They merely ask a chance 70
earn their daily bread. What about
contract work We know there will
be work opened up this summer.
There's no good reason why this
work could not be started at once.
The city would thus save money in
two ways, saving on contractors, and
saving on money it would have to
put out for relief. This work could
be done under the supervision of the
city's own bosses. They have enough
bosses doing nothing but lodging
each other. Why not put them to
work?
"The relief given by labor was not
looked upon as charity. That was
labor solidarity case of workers
aiding those on strike"

Scott Nearing on
Soviet Union Next
Saturday Afternoon

A refreshing contrast to the sub
iect matter of the previous lectures
in his series on Post War Europe will
be furnished by the final lecture this
Saturday, April 16, at 2 P. NJ, at the
Workers School, when Scott Nearing
speaks on the one country in post
war Europe that is definitely and
steadily on the upgrade, namely, the
Soviet Union. This series has pre-
sented a picture Of Europe ruined by
the world war, partially and tenn
porarily stabilized in the so-called
period of reconstruction, increasingly
subject to the dominance of American
capitalism, torn by Fascism, white
terror and the acutest forms of the
class war. His final lecture, dealing
with the Soviet Union, will show a
country that has not only solved the
problems created by the destruction
wrought by the world war and the
revolutionary period, but that has
already passed, in most branches of
industry, the pre-war economic level
and is entering into period that
marks new level and an increasingly
different order of society from that
which exists in any other country of
the world.
This is the final Saturday after
noon lecture of the series given by
Nearing. Admission is 35 cents.

: Crowd On Streets.
Many workers who were unable to
gain admission, crowded the side
walks hoping to hear an occasional
word or two. A similar demonstra-
ton took place when Weisbord
reached the Hungarian Home.
These successful meetings took
place in spite OF the sabotage Of the
local hallkeepers and press. The
largest halls being refused while the
newspapers announced that the meet
ing would take place in q different
hall. But in spite of all, the workers
responded in a manner that showed
their confidence in Weisbord and the
program he stands for.
Exile Ends.
Weisbord said that 3now that the
strike is over my exile is finished
and l come back and help you pick
up the fight were we left off. Under
the leadership of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor you have been forced
to retreat but today is the time TO
end retreating.
"The election offers us this oppor-
tunity. The bosses do not forget.
Their agents are imposing long SEN
fences on the workers who were ac-
tive in the strike. In this campaign
we will have an opportunity to let the
bosses know that we never will for
get the strike"
He also called upon the workers to
participate in the political campaign
as they did on the picket line, rally
ing all the workers who are voters.
It was announced that five candi-
dates, a full slate, will run.
Speaks As Communist.
At the meetings Weisbord an
nouneed that he is a Communist and
that he is running with the indorse-
ment Of that party for member of

Mr.. Greenstein told the court
restitution has been made and Bez-

As the 800 pound mayor strolled

shooting. Adams fell dead.
Subsequently Harry Thomasson-
brother OF Elmo who was one Of the
men killed in the destruction OF
Shady Rest-was arrested and con-
fessed that he and his brother had
killed Adams He said the killing
was at Birger's command and that
they were given $50 each for the
shooting. Burger was indicted.
For several days there was ques-
ton of how Burger was to be arrest
ed. He was in Saline county. Final
ly he submitted to arrest and even
took machine gun with him into
the Saline County Jail through fear
that some of his enemies might at
tempt to take his life.
Later he was brought to Benton
and still later removed to Spring
field and Bloomington after subse-
quent confessions had involved him
in even more brutal murders.
The removal to Springfield came
after Art Newman, one time his
lieutenant, had said he watched

Bergeson, who was convicted IN
1925 of the charge Of operating an

cnce Of liquor, said he had not been
feeling well Of late and yesterday he
drank one glass Of cider and took
quinine. He was driving on Arch
street shortly after noon and almost
collided with q car when Officer
Strolls noticed him and ordered him
to leave the seat. The officer testi-
fed that Bergeson was unfit to drive.

geson's car to the police station.
testified that the foot brakes and
the emergency brake were useless.
Bergeson. after having pleaded
guilty to the charge of driving while
under the influence of liquor, said he
did not know the brakes were bad.
The cider and quinine made him
dizzy and unsteady. he said. At
torney Milkowitz asked that Judge
SAKE be as lenient as possible. as
Bergeson has a family depending on
him and he Is busy on his farm 50
that a jail sentence would be very
severe.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Greenstein recommended the fine
and Jail sentence. and said he felt
Bergeson should serve IL days. as
he is a second offender. Judge
SAKE said he considers 1t fortunate
for Bergeson that the recommends
ton Of the assistant prosecuting at
torney was so light. Driving an
automobile Is a difficult operation
even when a person is entirely sober
and to drive while Intoxicated Is
very serious offense, in his opinion.
