tary of the Workers Communist
Party, who died yesterday in Chi
cago while undergoing an operation
at the hospital, had been active in the
revolutionary movement since 1909.
Ruthenberg's Early History.
Born in Cleveland on the 9th day
Of July 1882, of somewhat conser-
lvative parentage, young Ruthenberg
lentered into world that was full of
contradiction and which was later to
give him an, eventful career as a lead
Jar of the working class movement.
His father was longshoreman and
gcould only afford to give his son
primary school education. His early
instruction was also clouded with the
religious teachings of the German
Lutheran Church, the denomination of
his parents faith. Later he visited
the business college of Cleveland and
between working in a factory and at
tending night school Ruthenberg
gathered his first knowledge Of which
he had to make such extensive use
later on. He entered the field of bust
ness, first as clerk, but in few
shot years held the position Of man
ager of the sales department.
Activity in Socialist Party.
His intellectual capacity prompted
him now to enter the field of journal
ism, and in short time he became
regular correspondent to newspa-
pers. 1t is at this time that Ruthen-
berg came in contact with the social
list movement TO which he soon devoted
all of his time. In 1909 he became
city organizer and secretary of the
socialist party in Cleveland, which po-
sition he held until 1919, when he.
with the other members of the left
wing, organized the Communist Party
of America, of which he became the
executive secretary. Prior to the split
from the socialist party he had been
on the national committee Of the So
cialist party and had been editor of
the cleveland Socialist" and later

Is Sentenced Under CONSUMPTION Law.
In 1917 he was indicted and con-
victed under the national CONSUMPTION
law. Prior to going to Jail he ran
as candidate for mayor in Cleveland
OH the socialist ticket and polled 27,-
coo votes.
In 1919 he was indicted with others
under the criminal anarchy law of the
state of New York, as the result of
the investigation Of the Lusk conf
mittee and served two years and a
half in Sing Sing prison.
Becomes Secretary of Workers Party.
Soon after his release he became
executive secretary of the Workers
(Communist) Party of America, which
position he held until his death.
Ruthenberg was also convicted nm
der the Michigan criminal syndicalist
law, but appealed the case from the
lower to the higher courts until the
case finally reached tho u. $. Supreme
Court. which was TO have decided upon
the validity Of the state criminal syn
dicalist law.
Dies With Sentence Pending.
This decision has not been made.
Yet Ruthenberg was active in his re-
sponsible position up to the last day.

HEROES COAST GUARD
 NEW PARAMOUNT FILM

Little-known heroes, in the persons l of members of the Coast Guard, have taken their places as heroes of the screen
 These men, often i'll paid for the work they do, that of saving lives lon the east and west coasts and Great Lakes shores. and salvaging millions of dollars worth of shipping property, are pictured by Irwin Will lat in Joseph c. Lincoln's story of the life saving service on Cape Cod, Rugged Waters"
 The members of the service, lead ing lives easily as hazardous as any troops in the world war, are frugal of words. The typical surf man is quiet, dignified, slow speak ing, quick acting. The best men in the life saving stations arc over 40. Many in their prime are over 50. It is one of the compensations and one of the hardships, that a man may not grow old in the service, for it keeps him young; most of the men who lose their lives on the firing line of the sea are young men,. Gathering together a group of men, who looked and acted the parts of Coast Guardsmen, was one of the
 tasks performed by Willat in filming Rugged Waters" Two excellent 1 types of guardsmen were found in

JOHN H. BUNCH.

One Of the best informed and strongest men
engaged in Alaska transportation passed from
the active scenes of life when John H. Bunch
died Saturday in Seattle. He Joined the Alaska
steamship Company in the days of the klondike
stampede and remained with it until the end,
rising to the position of Traffic Manager NO
man contributed more to the building up OF that
companys business on a sound and practicai
basis He was probably the best advised man IN
the Alaska transportation field With an an
alytcal mind and passion for details. coupled
with vision, he was the essence OF practical
bity.
The news of Mr.. Bunch's sudden death ere
ated profound shock yesterday when news OF
1t reached Juneau. He had never been what mas
been termed mixer. He was quiet and re-
firing almost taciturn in his association with
people, and, therefore. was not so well under
stood by the general public as some OF the other
high transportation officials, but those who were
closely associated with him and Others who had
come to know him we'll were his firm friends
and warm admirers. The loss to his company
and the people of the North through his death
is severe indeed and will be felt for Ions

THE FAIR.

Juneau's Sixth Annual Fair lived up to the
promises That is the general verdict of those
who attended it. The exhibits were excellent,
the carnival features were good-better than ever
beforehand the concessionares did a thriving
business. The management of the Fair was ef-
icient and in every way satisfactory
The new building erected by the Southeast
ern Alaska Fair Association measured fully up to
the expectations of those who built it, and was
praised by all who attended the Fair, and as Gov
Parks said in his speech at thea opening, the
building will be useful for many cher purposes as
we'll as for the annual Fair. 1t will make an
excellent place for athletic field sports in the
winter and spring months when weather condi-
lions are not always satisfactory for out-of-door
meets It will serve need that has long
existed here
Considered from every standpoint, the South
eastern Alaska Fair Association has been one of
the principal contributors to Juneau's remarkable
year of achievements, and its record this year
is a guarantee that it will continue to contribute
to the welfare of the community and South
eastern Alaska.

Should Men Reduce?
est. Louis Post-Dispatch.,

(St Louis Post-Dispatch.)
In publishing the results of experiments which
prove that fat men are less efficient that slim
ones the Nelson Laboratory may have aided the
cause of efficiency but it assuredly has struck
good humor a blow below the belt.
For it is superstition that there is an
intimate relationship between humor and exces-
sive avoirdupois. The fat man, before and since
Sir John Falstaf has been the inspiration of
most chuckes and outlaws. Perhaps the first
laugh emitted by man was at the expense OF
some waddling brother. What is even more
significant, most of the worlds great hhmorists
have not conformed to the ideal of contem-
porary Paris modste. OF Aristophanes and other
ancients we know little, but of Rabelas and
more modern humorists there can be no doubt
Babeaiss admiration for porty characters proves
that he was no perfect SO himself Nor is any
humorist of the day very different from him IN
this particular Surely G. X Chesterton, Irwin
Cobb and most of the rest of the fraternity bear
no resemblance to the shapey gentlemen in tail
oring advertisements.
Should men, therefore. heed the warning that
fat men are less efficient than slim ones and

humor we should answer with a determined
negative
