The creation of a workers news
reel service should be the answer to
Gar Hays. This should be one Of
the many activities on the part of
militant labor in answer to the cal
lous murder of our two comrades,
Sacco and Vanzetti.
The murderers of Sacco and Van
zetti are most effectively answered
by the organization of all workers ac-

WILL HAYS is the car of movie
W dom. He decides what shall be
shown on the motion picture screens
throughout the country. Ostensibly
his job is to see that nothing salaci-
Gus or indecent is produced at Holly
wood so that the morals of tens OF
millions of movie-goers shall not be
corrupted.
Recently, however, Hayes showed
his hand as a labor-baiting censor.
The Exhibitors Herald" motion
picture trade journal carried news
item to the effect that all news reels
taken of the Sacco-V anzetti demon
strations etcetera are to be destroyed.
This act of deliberate callousness was
ordered by the car himself after a
conference with some leading ex-
hibitors.
Thus all cinema records of this
world-famous case will be lost to the
workingclass forever. Not only are
the prints to be destroyed, but the
negatives have been ordered to be
burned also.
Those engaged in the motion pic
ture industry are fond of saying that
the business is still in it's infancy,
that it is young and will develop
with time, ETC., etc. +. Infant or no
infant, it is financed by Wall Street
and its securities are listed on the
stock exchange. 1t receives its or
ders as we'll as it's financing from big
boys down on the street.
And if Wall Street knows anything
it knows all about the minute little
details of anti-labor propaganda 1t
knows that the mere mention of the
names of Sacco and Vanzetti has a
revolutionary effect on the militant
workers of America. The capitalist
press will see to it that the names of
these two valiant workers is never
mentioned again. The motion picture
men have now fixed things so that
their likenesses will not be seen on
the screen.
Some day future labor cinema
producer will want to make motion
picture portraying the murder of
Sacco and Vanzetti. The present ac-
ton of Gar Will Hays will make this
impossible in the future.
This latest act of wanton destruc-
tion of public record should be a
lesson to workers to be independent of
capitalistic news agencies of all
kinds. Just as a labor press should
be built and maintained so volun-
tary cinema service should be or
ganized and kept up.
This is not as difficult as it might
appear--nor as expensive. Every
city in the country should have its

Ten Years Of Soviet Rule
Inspires Renewed Campaign
for American Recognition
By ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

INCREASING attention is being given by the Amer
daily press to the question of recognition of the
Union of Soviet Republics by the United States gov
eminent.
It is impossible especially at this time lose sight
of the fact that the Soviet Power has ruled
cessfully for ten years.
Thus the New York Telegram, the Scripps-Howard
newspaper in New York City, Friday Sept 30th says:
THE point is that by November Russia will have
completed ten years under continuous Soviet Rule"
Similarly, Sept. 18th, the Telegraph the Hearst
paper in Pittsburgh had declared:
"The wise thing for the United States would be to
recognize the that has lasted for years. al
lowing the Russians to manage their country they
choose while we manage our country as we choose"
Neither editorial seeks to give any thorough analysis
of why recognition is opposed by the government in
Washington. Only two arguments advanced, and
effort made to dispose of them They follows:
FIRST: That the Communism advanced by the Union
Of Soviet Republics hostile to the capitalism supported
by the United States Government.
SECONDS That recognition followed by the coming
of a Soviet Ambassador to Washington would result in
can increased flood of Communist propaganda in the
United States"
Both the New York Telegram and the Pittsburgh
Telegraph seek to deal with these objections.
The Telegram views American recognition of various
and sunry governments in all sections of the world
follows
"China has been in chaos for some 10 years. One
government after another has and gone Pekng
few having the slightest claim to legality and most
being the rankest sort of usurpaton by political bosses
backed by personal armies.
'Yet have been without diplomatic represen-
taton at Pekn. Washington has recognized each gov
eminent fast as it bobbed up And, to our way of
thinking Washington has acted wisely. We wish to
maintain with China state department officials
explain and to do must turn blind side to
lot of irregularities. "

Crop figures from Washington were
not available until long after trading
in grain was at an end. Meanwhile,
the wheat market here was affected
mainly by decided broadening of ex-
port demand, for wheat from North
America and by word of a blizzard in
Alberta, and of snow in Saskatchewan
causing further delay to tfreshing as
well as impairment of quality. Today'S
sales of wheat to Europe were esti-
mated at 100000 bushels, largely
Canadian, and news was also received
that the German wheat crop this sea-
son had been officially estimated as
100000 bushels less than last year.
Increase of spring wheat production
this season, according to the new Of
fetal figures, amounts to 100000
bushels over the government estimate
last month. The increase is much
more striking as compared with latest
private estimates which on an average
were 24,000,O00 bushels short of today's
government figures. Most wheat trad
erS were further wrong in ignoring
favorable crop advices from Argentina
and Australia and continued large re-
ceipts at Duluth and Minneapolis, 2,198
cars against SIG cars a year ago.
Government estimates today Of corn
yield were 41,O00,O0O bushels above the
average of private reports and were
146 100000 bushels in excess of the lat

Some of the librarians, under the
supervision of Miss Halle Harsh, re-
cats logued the books in the library,
They used the abridged decimal clas-

as the Dewey Decimal System This
abridgment is to meet strong de-

With the efficient assistance of Mr.
Leslie Tenant, manual training sup
ervisor, and his class of workers, the
table, cases and wood work in the Ii
brary have been re-varnished. This
not only gives the library a bright
and CHEEKY appearance but clean
and healthful one as well.
In order to have a model library
we must have efficient, active librar-
ians. B.H.S has, at present, splen-

The re-modeled library is at all
times kept in sanitary condition. No
chewing gum is allowed stuck on

BOOTH CEMETERY
TO BE IMPROVED
Grave of Gen. Isaac Booth
Will Be Decorated
May 80.

Fulton j. Booth has bought from
Oscar Wilmoth plat of ground Of
about one-eight acre taking in the
Booth Cemetery on Reservoir Hill.
the deed having beer made April 2S.
1927.
This cemetery has been neglected
and almost forgotten. but for the past
seven years negotiations have been
made to buy it. but not until recent
ly did the plans materialize This l.;
considered the Oldest graveyard in
this vicinity.
During the Indian Border warfare
family by the nameof Kansas
were killed by the Indians and were
buried there. 1t is thought that Dan
iel Booth and wife and six infant
children We're the first inferred at
this place. Then their son. General
Isaac Booth. who was born january
|, 1716. and became an army officer,
served twenty-One terms in the Wiz
GINA Legislature, and died March IA,
1858, and was buried there with mill
tary honors. Claudius Booth and an
infant child Of General Isaac Booth,
and Daniel Booth, father Of the late
Frederick Booth of Sugar Greek were
buried there. Other graves are there
unmarked, also.
On March 5. 1919, the people of
this community were startled by the
report that the grave of old General
Isaac Booth was entered and robbed
Of his sword and epaulets, and per-
haps sixty-two one dollar gold pieces
that was rllmored to have been bur-
led with him.
Just before the Civil War Payton
Booth, son Of General Isaac Booth
purchased two large white marble
tomb stones to be placed to his faith
er's grave. but Peyton Booth was
captured and taken prisoner and
the stone lay for sixty years near the
old Davis place and just right after
the ghouls entered the grave of old
General Booth, these two stones were
broken in several pieces In the mean
time, while these old stones were
laying hidden away, the L. S. Gov
eminent sent a head marble stone to
be placed to the memory of the old
General, but due to some misunder-
standing this stone is not yet placed
to the grave. Yet. the government
stone has come into the possession Of
a near relative who will turn it in
to be placed as marker.
AT this time the d. A. X. and the
ID. A. 1872. are planning to put up
a marker to the grave of General
Isaac Booth and to decorate the grave
on May 80. and probably by that time
the oldest cemetery in this community
will be fenced and cleaned up as il
should have been years ago.
