aged to get to the convention but
neither the lstoolpigeon nor the gov
eminent knew about the location of
the convention until a rat by the
name of Morrow, Barns agent, who
was member Of the Communist
Party in Philadelphia district, got as
far as Grand Rapids, with the group
ne travelled with. 1t was there he
gathered from his companions that
the convention would be held where
another Communist convention was
held a few years previously. This
location was known to the govern
ment. So when Morrow telephone&
Washington from Grand Rapids the
federal detectives knew where to go.
TIE Burns agents had no more to

to hold their convention in Bridge
man in 1922-not 1923 as The Nation
had it-than Mr.. Lewis Gannett or
Oswald Garrison Willard. Had the edi-
tors of The Nation taken the trouble
to read the testimony given in the
Foster and Ruthenberg trials at st.
Joseph, Michigan in the spring of
1923, they would not have an excuse
to publish the SANDER against the
Communist movement under the
cloak Of an attack on Burns.
