Ryan declared that following the
dismissal of the Mcpherson case he
was called upon to prosecute the Big
Pines road camp case against the
board of supervisors, although the
district attorney knew of the inno-

~ learned after the dismissal of
the charges that you, knowing these
men to be innocent of the charges
and assuring them and their legal
representatives that there would be
no charge filed against them, in

Mr.. keyes, and your chief deputy,
Harold Davis. left for a trip to Chi

Ryan said.

RYAN stated that the resignation
was to become effective at once.
In. answering the charges Davis
intimated that Ryan had personal
ambitions for the position of district
attorney and for that reason made
his sensational statement.

Homage to Beethoven

One hundred years ago this Satur-
day, Ludwig Won Beethoven died in
Vienna, leaving behind him nine of
the most glorious symphonies, innu-
merable sonatas, concerts and quar-
tets. He lived in a period when dem
ocraey was just breaking through the
cloud Of reaction and much of his
music-especially his symphonies
express this spirit of the times.
Through the world, his music is be-
ing played to commemorate the cen
tennial of his DEATH Beethoven, like
most genius died in poverty.
This week is being devoted TO the
music of the great master. The Phil
harmonic orchester is giving an all
Beethoven program this Thursday
night and repeated on Friday after
noon. Katherine Baron is giving a
program of five Beethoven sonatas
Saturday afternoon in Town Hall, in
GLIDING the Moonlight, Appassioniata

thoven Week Advisory Body. The

Mother Bloor Pays Tribute to Ruthenberg

lst of May celebration was brutally
broken up by police, the headquarters
smashed, and Ruthenberg arrested as
he was, with his usual courage, stand
ing by the workers who were being
literally crushed by the police. One
good Hungarian comrade was killed
outright.
ON the occasion mentioned, July
" 4th, Ruthenberg asked me TO be
the speaker for the day. The Cleve-
land police threatened to break up
anything the Comrades would arrange
for that day. So they went out in
the country way beyond the city linn
its. AS we left the cars all the men
were searched and as we entered the
picnic grounds seventy newly sworn
in county deputies swept into the
yard in fine autos to intimidate us
with their big shining badges and red
faces. 1t was terribly hot day and
Ruthenberg in his jolly way turned
to me and said, 1--WE will not begin
our speaking at 2 o'clock, we will
keep them waiting until A, then they
will buy all our ice cream and cold
drinks This the deputies were COM
PEELED to do in sheer self defense,
suffering from the extreme heat.
Then when Ruthenberg got up to
open the meeting and introduced me,
the government secret service men
began to take down every word on
paper. The 70 deputies gathered
close around us, armed Of course.

The statement of the South Slav
Bureau Of the Workers (Communist)
Party calls for the building Of The
party as follows:
1.-THE death of Comrade Ruthenborg
is not only blow at the Workers
fCommunist) Party of America and
the Comintem but also a blow nc the
whole working class. IT is great
loss to the South Slav workingmen
and workingwomen in this country
and also the workers Of other nation
alities. Comrade Ruthenberg was an
internationalist. To him the workers
and peasants Of all nationalities were
unity.
"Comrade RuthenberG was well
known and had the confidence Of the
South Slav class conscious organized
workers and with this the unorgan-
lied workers. Even in the Socialist
Party Comradc Ruthenberg had al
ready won the confidence and respect
Of the South Slav workers.
During the period OF the anti-war

International News Service

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-The
credit and banking structure of the
United States is sound. Money is
plentiful. The agricultural situa.
ton has decidedly improved and
the farmers prospects are unusually
bright. The Presidential election
next year may have an unsettling
influence on business, particularly
If it ushers in the prospect of tariff
tinkering. The automobile industry
will 'come back and employment
lin car manufacturing ranks will in

The above survey of American
! business prospects for the new year
was made for International News
Service today by two of the most
prominent and best-known Ameri-
can bankers, Percy II. Johnson,
president of the Chemical National
Bank of New York, and Jules s.
Bache, head of the banking house
of J. s. Bache and Co.
Commodity prices have become
firmer, and continued conservatism
in bushes is evident, as reflected
in moderate inventories. said John.
son today, as the basis for the
expectation of prosperous con,li-
tions next year. The unprecedented
amount of borrowing through flo5a-
ion Of securities will unquestion-
ably create a further demand for
labor and materials, and the encr.
nous purchasing power of the
country will stimulate consump-
ton of goods, he declared.
Bache expressed the opinion that
the Presidential campaign will ex-
ercise an important influence over
business developments next year.
Bache urged that definite sum
be agreed upon as the total amount
of German reparations. instead of
