lied by the bourgeoisie in October,
1905, Comrade Shorokhov was COM
PEELED to work for a time illegally.
He had two years of almost COM
plete unemployment. In 1912 he
was elected delegate of the workers
employed III the factory of the Ivan
cvo-VoZnesensk weaving concern and
was their representative in the fourth
Duma. Because of the confidence the
workers had in him, he was dismissed
from the factory. He was arrested in
October 1913 when the organization
of the Russian cial-Democratic La
Dor Party was liquidated by the Ok
hranka (Secret Intelligence Depart
ment), then Jail, long tramp to the
place of exile-a remote village in the
PovinetZ Uyezd of the Polonctz Gu
hernia. On his return from exile in
1915 he was all the time watched and
followed by detectives and gendarmes
who compelled him to shift from town
to town. Such are the characteristic
facts of Comrade Shorokhov's life
prior to the February Revolution
which found him in the then Petro-
grad in the Lives Works.
In the middle Of March 1917, Com
rade Shorokhov returned to Ivanovo-
Voznesensk and gave himself up to
current Party and Soviet work. From
the beginning of 1918, Comrade Shor-
okhov took an active part in the or
ganization of the New Peoples Court.
This was not an easy task. Workers
were afraid to tackle this work which
in their minds was linked up with
the idea of some special iuridical wis
dom. The juridcal intelligentsia was
sabotaging: you try and do without
us, you lousy fellows! In the end
this sabotage did a good thing con-
trary to the expectation OF the
sabotagers. Comrade Shorokhov or
ganiZed first Of all q circle of jur-
lists (mainly from the midst of bar
risters who had accepted the Soviet
platform) and with their help he be-
gan the proletarization Of the court.
Short term juridical courses were hur-
riedly organized, factories delegated
workers and after little while judges
and magistrates taken from the bench
were trained and prepared for the
juridical apparatus.
In September 1918 Comrade Sho-
rokhov was elected to the post of
director of the gubernia department
Of the Commissariat of Justice, which
post he retained up to his election as
member of the supreme court of the
RSFSR.

QuGzOn Attending
Conference Of the
FiIipinOs in u, S.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. 2. -
The Philippine Federation of America
has opened it's annual convention this
week, at the Philharmonic Auditorium
here. The attitude of Filipinos in
America toward American rule in the
islands will probably be expressed at
this conference, which is considered
by Filipino leaders important enough
to warrant the presence of Manuel
Quezon and Senator Osmena, who are
staying over for the convention while
on their way home from Washington,
D. C.
There is a tendency on the part of
Filipino organizations in this coun-
try, especially among the student ele-
ments, who know Americas imperial
ist policies very well, to demand
more militant policy and fight for in
dependence than the conservative. ma
tionalist leaders have been following,
and they say the presence of Quezon
and Osmena is to insure the approval
of their policies by the Philippine
Federation of America.

Seen as Move to Grab
BeSSarabia

MOSCOW, Dec. 2. - Reports of
counter-revolutionary uprisings in
Ukrainia which have appeared in the
foreign press have been denied by
Soviet authorities who point to the
absence of information of any dis
turbance whatever from German con-
suls in Kiev, Kharkov and Odessa and
to the normality Of train service.
The reports, most of which have or
iginated in Bucharest, are regarded
as Rumanian fabrications to cover the
difficult internal situation in that
country and with a view to the League
Council meeting which will probably
take up the Rumanian occupation of
Bessarabia.
The rumors Of counter-revolution-
airy outbreaks manufactured in Ru-
mania were also vigorously denied by
the American-Jewish Joint distribu-
ton committee.

ExiIes Banished
Selves, Venezuela
Car Tells World

WASHINGTON, OPP Dec. q
Protest from the dummy "Iabor
Federation of Venezuela" organized
and maintained by Dictator Gomez in
that country, has been sent to Pan
American Federation of Labor head
quarters in Washington, because the
Pan-American Labor Congress Of
last summer discussed the suppress
sion Of trade unionism in that coun-
try.
Ruperto Lugo, president, and five
other officers of the Gomez labor or
ganization, in their letter, reDuke the
P. A. F. of L. for saying that dele
gates were not permitted to come
from Venezuela, and that therefore
delegates from the union of exiled
Venezuelan workers in New York
were recognized.
Gomez, speaking through his
dummy union, says that there are no
exiles from Venezuela in any part of
the globe; that his country has ''its
arms open for all the sons of good
will who wish to live in it's midst"
that the element recognized in the
P. A. F. of L. meeting is "a society
of political character which sustains
a groundless propaganda against the
institutions of the country on the ex-
terror"
The exiles are self-exiled, or re-
fugees, whose lives would be forfeit
if they returned to Venezuela where
Gomez police await them with the
open arms he mentions. Many have
spent years in his dungeons for try
ing to organize trade unions in Vene-
3uelan towns.

Syria May Go to

PARIS, Dec. 2. - The cession Of thu
Syrian mandate to Italy if Italy
agrees to give up her claims to a
share in the booty at Tangiers and
her encroachments in the Balkans is
being considered here in Parliament
airy circles as the result of Brands
conciliatory speech in the Chamber Of
Deputies the day before yesterday.
This proposal has been made a
number of times before, but the recent
revolts against French Imperialism in
Syria as well as Italian claims to
share of Tangiers has led to a renewal
of the proposal.
The feeling Of hostility in Italy
against France has reached fever
pitch, according to Jules Sauerwein,
foreign editor of Matin who is now in
Paris.

DOCKERS' STRIKE
t5eamen Also to Go Out
as $4,000 Tie Up Port

MELBOURNE, Dec. 2. - Twenty
five thousand Australian coal miners
have threatened to go out on sympa-
thy strike because of the lockout of
dock workers here. The dock workers
were forced to strike when the ship
owners tried to compel them to ac-
cept the decisions of the arbitrator
in the overtime wage dispute.
The shipping tie-up has practically
paralyzed trade and it is estimated
that more than 113 vessels are now
idle in Melbourne harbor. At least
$4,000 dock workers are reported to
be out.
The strike of the coal4niners, which
will tie up the coal industry in the
hinterland, is scheduled to keep the
vessels idle with empty bunkers, and
render ineffective whatever labor the
ship owners may be able to get from
scabs.
The government of the Australian
Commonwealth. After tumultuous
scenes in Parliament, has obtained ex-
ceptional powers to deal with the
strike.
LONDON, Dec. 2. - Reports from
Sydney state that the Australian
dock-workers' strike is spreading rap
idly and that thousands OF lockers are
already out, and many other branches
of harbor industry will be effected
during the coming week. The sea-
men are already taking measures
looking towards a sympathy strike.
The wool industry whose export
season is at its height has been brot
to a standstill.

Dmftri Ivanovitch Shorokhov, men,
Der of the supreme court of the
RSFSR, was born on October %,
1877, in the Pashulitch village Viatka
Gubernia. He lost his father when he
was years old and three years later
his mother died. In his biography
Comrade Shorokhov says: 81 was left
alone without parents and without
support. The poor peasant possess
sions were sold by auction for tax ar
rears and at the age of 10 l found
myself in the ranks of the proletariat.
Not to die of starvation l was COM
PEELED to hire myself out as an agri-
cultural laborer to a rich kulak for
whom l worked three years, was ter
ribly exploited and was made to do
what can be safely termed hard labor
for which ! was paid the munificent
sum of s roubles in the first year, 10
roubles in the second, and 13 roubles
in the third" When Comrade Shor-
okhov was IA he worked as porter
on the Volga landing stages.
When the navigation season came
to an end, Comrade Shorokhov went

Shorokhov speak for himself: "Where
the gigantic departments stand now,

the town. In dark crowded and damp
