THE officer in charge of soldiers
4 dispensing crowds of massed workers
should see that his men never present
the butt of their guns to the crowd,
but always the bayonet end of the
weapon. The reason for this is OBJ
vious. This or words to this effect
are taken from a small manual of in
structions published by the board of
stragedy of the army at Leaven-
worth, Kansas for the use of Off
GERS of bands of soldiers in case of
their having to deal with bodies of
strikers, or "mobs" as the book puts
it. This same book gives these same
officers careful instructions, on how
to get the initiative in such cases and
how to keep their minds ahead of the
minds of the workers. The book is
a splendid example of how those who
serve the master class are trained
for the purpose of guarding the prop
erty of the master class and the book
let is filled with maxims for the use
of the trained and armed, as against
the unframed and unarmed.
How to march from the places of
rendezvous to the scene of the
trouble. How to approach open
spaces where they may be attacked
by superior forces. How to avoid
traps and ambushes while on the
march and how to go into action in
order to keep the minds of the people
occupied in front of them while the
detailed troops are sent thru side
streets to attack in the rear, and thus
gain the initiative if they have lost
it, is gone into the minutest detail.
How to attack with tear gas bombs
and other gases and when and where
to use bombs is given much attention
Barbados both by strikers and mobs
and the best methods of attacking
these occupy a liberal space. In fact
the very best and latest means to
employ under all circumstances of
street warfare in the case of strikes
and other disturbances, is given not
only liberal but lavish space. Not a
thing is overlooked that will the bet
ter prepare the superior officer to
cope with the difficulties, which may
menace the property Of the financial
and industrial, rulers of this country.

Poets there are who write
Of Spring
Of misty air,
Sweet singing birds:
Of flowers that bloom
In gardens of beauty;
OF cleaning satins,
Palaces of gold
And sparkling jewels, multi-colored;
Of Phantasy,
Of Nothing.
Some Of their art plaything make,
And others barter it for gold
And poets there are who write
Of pain and storm,
Of Hunger
Gnawing need for bread;
Of lives that toss,
Ebb and flow
At the within of masters,
And of Peoples struggle for Light;
OF Reality,
Of Life.
And some with their Art bring hope,
And others point the Goal.

The Miners Divided Front

the convention of the Illinois Fedora
ton of Labor and the agreement that
was signed by these same officials
Fishwick came directly to the con-
vention after an unsuccessful con-
ference with the operators which
ended on September 18th. Fishwick
said in part the following:
eve have been asking that we
be allowed to retain the Jack
sOnville agreement from now I'M
til the first of April, and in the
meantime joint committee of
two operators and two miners
shall be created to conduct a full
investigation of the situation and
formulate a NEW AGREEMENT
to take the place of the temper
airy agreement which would Cx-
pire on April 1st f.. We were
asked, Wouldn't you like to have
a fifth man selected by Bill
Taft?" We said, No, we DOM
want any fifth man selected by
Bill Taft or anyone else"
Yet two weeks later, President
Fishwick and Lewis went into a con-
ference with the Illinois operators or
October LIST, and accepted the follow
ing clause: "To facilitate agreement
upon disputed points the commission
may enlarge its number to five, ir
which case majority vote shall be
binding"
Thus again the Lewis maahine has
told the miners one thing and Their
crawled on their knees to the Goa
operators and found common ground
with them in betraying the miners
and leading them further into a blinc
alley.
Approach New Stage.
The fight of the miners is APP
preaching a new stage. The rank anC
file must watch out for the treachery
of the Lewis machine in the next few
months. Undoubtedly those district:
where no agreement has been reach
ed have been very much weakened
by the policy pursued by John Lewis
The miners that are back at worl
must raise the issue of immediate
support Of relief for those miner.
that are still on strike in Pennsyl
vania and Ohio.
If these miners are compelled tx
surrender it will not be so much be-
cause of hunger, but because of the
treachery of the Lewis machine.
AS long as the miners have Levi,
and his machine at the head of the
miners union, the miners will never
be victorious in their struggles. Only
when the miners will be lead by i;
new leadership with a progressiv,
and militant program will they b,
able to carry their struggles for theil
standard of living and for economi,
freedom to victorious end.

LESSONS IN "CIvILIzED" SLAUGHTER

THE most approved utterances of the
best trained officers who have de-
voted their lives to the best methods
of killing are quoted and set out in
a manner that will best fix them in
the minds of those who are gathered
in citizens military training camps
and in reserve officers corps.
All of these things contained in
that book, came to my mind as l
looked over the ground at the grove
where the workers gathered in Ches-
wick, Pennsylvania. l could see in
my minds eye the plans carefully
laid by those in command of the state
Cossacks. How they had for days
planned and mapped out their bloody
work. No bungling in this matter,
each and every move was thot out
days in advance. The stool-pigeons
placed where they could watch the
crowd and give the right signal for
the quiet entrance of these cowardly
thugs loaded down with their tear
gas bombs and riot clubs. This was
to be massacre which was to be re-
membered by the workers, intent
upon rescuing two of their fellow
workers from being burned to death
in the interest of the masters of
America.
VOW these trained thugs glutted
Ii their lust for blood is brot out in
the testimony of the MANNED and
bruised as they haltingly and in
broken English describe the scenes
that were enacted that dreadful 22nd
of August in the state ruled over by
the big corporate interests of the
country. The trained horses of the
Cossacks, rearing and striking with
their fore feet-what a mighty havoc
they must have done among those
closely-packed working people.
It is a splendid thing for the work.
ers that they have such an orgar1l-
cation as the International Labor De-
tense to come to their assistance in
just such cases, to bail them out and
get them lawyers to fight their bat
ties for them and to bring the facts
out before the world.

FUND MEMBERS
ATTACK BILL
Livdahl and Mcdonald Calm
Measure Limiting Bene-
fits Is Indefinite

The workmcns compensation bill,
Uniting benefits in case Of total per-
mancnt disability or death To $4,000,
drew the fire Of two members of the
wOrkmens compensation board ut a
hearing before the senate state af-
fairs committee Friday.
The members of the board who
spoke were G. N Livdahl and S. S.
Mcdonald. Livdahl asserted that the
bill is vague and indefinite, while
Mcdonald protested any limitation
whatsoever.
Lvdahl, however, told the commit
tee that he would he IN
favor Of the bill if the
$4,000 limitation was specified to
be paid in lump sum, and not to
mean the total compensation paid ut
regular periods throughout the dis
abled persons life.
According to his figures, if the $l5,-
600 limit was interpreted to mean
regular payments during the dis
abled persons life, it would deprive
him of interest that would accrue
during the years.
Would Awart Actuary's Report
The bill, introduced by Senator c.
l.. Bakken, Williams county, also pro-
yides for benefit limits for injuries
of various kinds, which Livdahl also
attacked. He said that the bill was
apparently "haphazardly drawn" and
if the provisions on benefits were al
lowed to stand, would leave the bu-
reau almost imperative.
He asked that the committee defer
action until an actuary's report is
completed, probably the first part Of
next week.
Mcdonald attacked the bill as in
furious to employees. He submitted a
mass of figures to support his con
tentions that liabilities now being
raid are not unreasonable. He also
declared that the scale of benefits
should be left entirely to the bureau
Mcdonald characterized charges
that the present lack of limitation is
discouraging some industries from
entering North Dakota as bunk" H,
espec tally referred to assertions that
the sugar beet industry was suffering
from the workmen's compensation
rates. The committee deferred &c
ton.

funds set aside for the North Dakota
national guard by the secretary of
war was also recommended.
The senate had but one bill on it's
calendar Friday. and passed it by a
80 to 6 vote. 1t was an appropria-
ton Of $4,000 for the fund for boun-
ties on wolves, coyotes and magpies.
Bills introduced today included
measures providing that, on the vote
of the residents, cities may sell public
utilities, an act regulating the prac-
tice Of professional engineering and
land surveying in the state, and a
measure limiting the work days of
railroad employees to IL hours day.

of the stadium campaign which is to
open Feb. at Minneapolis at a pro-
gram which will be attended by Pres
ident Thomas +. Kane Of the Univer-

Samuelson, continuing from Min

kee and Omaha, on six weeks trip.
He will supervise University alumni
club banqucts for the stadium drive

The drive director will return to
Grand Forks and then ut "a later date
