of chickens, declaring they were
in the market for poultry and
would like to buy as many as the
farmer could sell. An agreement
was made and the man left three
chicken coops, asking that the
farmer catch the poultry in the
evening and box them up, and
they would call for them the next
morning. This was done but when
the farmer got up next morning
he found the coops gone. The

October 20 Will See
1928 Campaign Begin

Because Minnesota Legion posuJ
have always been "way out ahead"
in putting over Legion activities,
the new membership campaign
plan which calls for renewal of
dues October 20 instead of the
following January 1, won't make
so much difference to The Gopher
Gang, the majority of Minnesota
posts having had the reputation of
being largely paid-up by New
Years Day for the ensuing year.
In fact, it was through Minnesota
suggestions that the change was
brought above. North Star Legion

cleared of membership details and

Ed Schroeder, formerly of Sank
Centre, but now editing the Brow
erville Blade, says that free-for-
all fight took place in front of the
Sobota soft drink parlor on Main
street last week Tuesday evening
From Eddie's explanation it must
have been one of the fistic classics
of the season, running a close sec
ond to the Dempsey-Tunney exhi-
bition. The argument developed
from mere words into real punches
and black eyes, torn shirts and
other marks of violence. 1t is said
that these exhibitions of fistic skill
take place at least once a week,
and that there is no one there to
take care of the persistent scrap
pers. Ed says that his town needs
a good cop to handle those boys.

John Nelson, of Milwaukee, who

fifty feet of rope. The water was
three feet deeper and that COM
bined with his weight stood the
boat on end, throwing the heavy,

in two row boats heard his cries
for help, but were unable to load
him into either of the boats. They
tied rope around his middle ans

Eight days ago, Comrade Rykoff
revealed this Infamous conspiracy be-
fore a Moscow Soviet. He was de-
nouncing particularly the action Of
the British Consul Preston. He read
a letter of this party which we are
publishing in this issue. 1t is impos-
sible not to establish correlation be-
tween the criminal activity of counter
revolution, the murder Of Woikoff,
the terrorist attack of Leningrad and
the attack on Comrade Opanski and
his companions.
Downing Street has created an at
mosphere of murder around the Soviet
Union and has launched against it its
paid gangsters. The rupture of Lon
don was expected by the conspirators
as a word of command: "Assail the
Communists, kill as many of them as
possible"
1t is not with regular armies that

they are now fighting the country of
the Revolution. It is with the aid of
murderers in white collars and as
sassins in evening dress. Let it be so,
but the Revolutionists like Woikoff
and like the Communists of Leningrad
are not afraid of death. The revolu-
ton, however, cannot sell so cheaply
the lives of its champions. 1t has the
right to defend itself and ask for the
aid of the exploited over the whole
world. 1t is they who to the fire of
the reactionary attack must oppose
the proletarian force which is the safe
guard of the future.
It is they who must organize
around their Russian Revolution first
the proletarian defense and then the
victorious attack against Imperialism.

All of these prison activities emu

carried on by the prisoners them
selves without the direction or super

showing as great an interest in US,
as we were showing in them. The

from our American class war prison
ers, especially mentioning Sacco and
Vanzetti and Mooney and Billings.
Yes, they had all heard of Sacco and
Vanzetti here, condemning the in
tended murder of these innocent
workers and comparing the treat
ment these workers were receiving
with the leniency shown the enem-
les of the Workers Republic within
the borders of the Soviet Union.

would treat his workingclass enemies
if he were in power.
AS we talked to him prisoners
dropped in from neighboring cells,
joining in the discussion, making "an
evening" out of it.
Kuzminsky, who had been with
Wrangel and Denikin, was less com
municative. While the late czarist
prince was aged and his hair and
beard white, Kuzminsky was care
fully smooth shaven and he had not
yet begun to gray. He had radio,
that seemed to be an excellent instru-
ment. better than the many possessed
by others.
Kuzminsl1y's radio, however, only
brought him such programs as the
Soviet State offered and he was
reading, as we entered, the latest is
sue of the Isvestia, the official organ
of the Soviet Government. Probably
that is very disconcerting to him.
Of this he would say nothing.
Then we passed on among prison
ers, most of whom were to be found
on this evening, as on nearly every
evening, gathered in the various edu-
cational and cultural activities being
conducted within the prison. The
story of these activities were told us
by the educational director, mem
Der of the Communist Party.
Greater enthusiasm for music 1
have never seen displayed than that
shown by the prison chorus. What
singing!
The radio circle was in full session.
The prison radio that pointed its
huge amplifier into the prison chapel

sembly halD was turned on for our
benefit.

the stage was rehearsing a play that
was to be presented on some special
occasion in the near future.

ants who had unluclily, or perhaps
luckily fallen counter to the Soviet
Law. Luckily" l say, because here
in prison they were getting an edu-
cation unknown to them under car
ism. Peasants on good behavior are
given three months off each year to
return to their villages for the har-
vest. Other prisoners are given a
two weeks vacation each year. All
this time is counted as part of the
serving of their various terms of i'm
prisonment.
Another "Circle" discusses the
History of the Communist Party and
general political and scientific sub
jects.
The prison library contains 1000
volumes. Every cell receives a copy
of daily newspaper. The prisoners
can get other Soviet newspapers and
magazines that they wish. All are to
be had in the prison.
The theater boasts an excellent
moving picture machine, with which
the best Soviet pictures, such as
"Potemkin" and Gorky's Mother"
have been shown. The moving pic
ture operator is former member of
the Communist Party, imprisoned for
misuse Of party funds.
So we might have spent the night
investigating and studying methods
by which the Soviet Union is seeking
to solve one of its big problems. But
it was getting towards ten o'clock in
the evening and we must make the
trip back to the city.

EDITORS N0TE:-UpOn the
first news of the assassination of
Comrade VOykoff in Warsaw, the
French Communist daily "l'Hu-
mantle" published an article in
prominent position under the title
'England's Breach With the
Soviet UniOn-the Signal for
Murderers and Assassins." We
herewith republish the translated
article:
SO the assault against Moscow is
started with the Juror of despair. At
least the instigators of this bloody adj
venture should know that dirty work
has in itself the marks of certain
death. Not only the ignoble crimes
as those which have taken place in
Warsaw and Leningrad as we'll as the
frontier of White Russia will not
shake and destroy the dictatorship of
workers and peasants, but they will
strengthen the workers of the world
in their determination not to let these
criminals go unpunished. In the as
sassination of Comrade Woikoff we
are witnessing the beginning Of White
counter-rnvolution Our comrade has
occupied his post at Warsaw since
1924, which he himself used to call
fighting post. He had replaced Com
rade Karkhan and French journalist
who interviewed WoilSoff last summer
was writing yesterday about the pre-
cautions that the staff of the Russian
embassy at Poland had to take owing
to hostile manifestations of which
they were frequently the subject.
The Poland Of Sikorski and Pilsud-
ski and of White terror, this Poland
so dear to Mr.. Boncour is the land Of
prediction of Russian monarchists
and counter-revolutionist What
would, however, be the Polish state
without the English gold and the sub
sidy of financiers of the City. How
many times in this paper we have dis
closed the maneuvers of London ad-
vancing now and then the Polish
pawns on the anti-bolshrvist checker
board. 1t was in Lausanne that Com
rade Vorofsky was assassinated in
1923, while defending the rights of
the peoples of the Orient against the
imperialist jingoes. 1t is in the cap
ital of reactionary Poland, in the coun-
try which the Whites have chosen as
their advanced outpost against Soviet
ism, that an assassin has killed Woi-
koff.
Yes, the instigators of this crime
are in London and they know how to
choose the place and the means of
their sinister designs. Yesterday it
was Conrad the mercenary of Wran-
gel and today it's Boris Kowerda, the
trusted man of abhorred Czarism.
Kowerda belonged to that troublesome
organization which is under the lead
ership of Nicholas-N icolaewitch and
has its ramifications in all the capi-
tails of Europe. One of the chiefs of
these bands is the notorious Sablin
the right hand of English Fascist and
their chief Locker-Lampson, who is a
person always welcome at the home
office of Representatives.. Another
pawn of this company is General
Koutepov, less known but equally
harmful. Koutepov has recently es-
