cocted the charges against the n
officers for arranging the May Day
festival at the Metropolitan Opera
House?
Mr.. Hillquit, of Course.
Mr.. Hillquit
One of his former disciples who
took most active part in the fight
against the three locals in 1925, a
certain Mr.. Meyer Perlstein, testi-
fled to that effect in letter printed
in the Jewish Day on Sept. IS. The
Freiheit on Sept. 20 in an article
on its front page asked Mr.. Hillquit
whether Perlstein's statement was
true (altho nobody doubted it). Hill
quit made no answer.
And this is the record, in part, of
another socialist elector.
Preachers and High Salaried
Officials.
There is Abe Cahan on the list
of electors. This socialist" editor
of the Socialist" Forward draws his
measly $17,50O a year and Eek
penses." Mr.. Cahan has recently
acquired some fame in Boston where
the Sigmanites had their "conven-
ton" under the protection of the
Boston police (Mr. Thomas was
there, too, giving his blessings.)
There Mr.. Cahan openly stated that
the manifesto" issued by Sigman
in December, 1926, again expelling
the above named three locals was
written in his, Cahan's office, and
dictated to his, Cahan's stenogfaph-
er 1--WE can guess by whom.
Here is direct proof that the $50
cialist' party was the instigator of
the fight in the l. l.. G. w. U. The
cloak and dressmakers will no doubt
appreciate the activities of the S. P.
on election day and in particular the
activity of the socialist elector, Abe
Cahan.
Then there is Benjamin Schles-
niger on the list of electors. The
same gentleman who is now trying
to save" the cloak and dressmak-
ers while he is getting his advertis-
ing commissions from the Forward
amounting to $4,000 up per annum.

is the "brains" of the Infamous Sig
man union wrecking crew. The
united front with the bosses, the hir-
ing of gangsters, the securing of
injunctions against left wing locals,
all this was done on the legal advice
of Mr.. Hillquit. The role he has
played in the Sigman campaign
against the needle unions is alone
enough to brand Hillquit for what
he is. But something new was dis
covered about ten days ago.
In June, 1925, Sigman's first
grand attack against the member
ship of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union took place.
The three largest locals of the
union, 2, 9 and %, were expelled
and the seventy-seven officers of
these locals were put on trial. The
accusation against them was that
they had held a May Day festival
in the Metropolitan Opera House on
May LIST, 1925, with Comrade Olgin
as one of the speakers.
A Shocking Demonstration.
This festival was truly a shock
ing affair. The New York Times
of May 2, 1925, had a big story on
the front page proclaiming the ter
rible news that the Diamond Horse
shoe" of the Metropolitan Opera
House had been occupied by mere
workers who, in addition, cheered for
Soviet Russia and sang the Interna-
tional and other "Red songs"
The -Four Hundred" of New
York were terrified. Something had
to be done. And when in June, 1925,
the workers who had dared arrange
this festival were put on trial by
Sigman e. Co., great relief was felt
among the -Four Hundred" The
N. Y. Times of June 16, 1925, car
ried big story on its front page
giving all the details of the charges
against the II officers and quoting
everything the Sigmanites had said
about Moscow" the "Comintern,"
the Reds" etc. The New York
Times was triumphant. At last the
-Four Hundred were avenged.
Whose were the "brains" that con-

What Kellogg peace"
Plan Means TO Workers

by a Worker Correspondence
The boss press and its agents are
trying with might and main to tell
the workers of this country that the
Kellogg peace plan is new step
towards world peace. Of course, we
all know that when the diplomats
say peace, it means in plain Ian
guage war. Now, more than ever
before, do we find the United States
government engaged in military
propaganda.
Altho the Citizens Military Train
ing Camps are now closed, their ac-
tivity is still going on. Lieutenant
Colonel Howard L. Campion, of the
Eighteenth Infantry division of the
United States army, has sent out
letters to all G. M. T. C. recruits
urging them to come to the sixth
annual outing of the c. M. T. C.
Second Corps Area, which will be
held at West Point, N. Y, on Oct.
10.

By PAUL NOVICK.

The New York Times which pub
fishes "all the news fit to print"
(fit for the capitalists, of course),
is giving space literally to the So
cialist campaign. On October LIST
the Times devoted nearly full
column in printing the list of So
cialist presidential electors for New
York State
The gentlemen on that list no
doubt deserve that space-judglng
by their financial standing and by
the respect they command in their
various communities. For among
the socialist electors there are at
least one known millionaire, three
preachers, one republican city Off
cial and a good number of corpora
ton lawyers and officials whose
salaries are from fifteen thousand
per annum up.
There is hardly one worker
among the forty-five electors!
Just the people aft for print"
A Socialist" Owner of Chain of
Nearly One Hundred Stores.
First on the list we find gen
tleman by the name of Morris Ber-
man, Pleasantville, N. Y.
The American Labor Who's
Who" issued by the Hanford Press
in 1925, gives the following infor-
nation about this country gentle
man: Board of Directors in the
International Union Bank; partner
in company owning eighty-three
chain stores selling wearing apparel
in seven states" The city address
of the owner of the Pleasantville
Estate is 900 Grand Concourse.
The International Union Bank is
not a union bank any more. 1t is
now a private institution run for
profit. One of the capitalists own
ing this bank is Mr.. Morris Berman.
The first elector on the socialist
ticket is not alone burdened with a
large number of stores selling wear
ing apparel in seven states (rumor
has it that Mr.. Berman is also the
owner of a number of factories that
are supplying these stores; the same
rumor affirms that the number of
stores have increased since 1925,
but he is also, as has been indi-
Gated, a private banker.
Something New About Mr.. Hillquit.
Then, of course, there is Morris
Hillquit.
Mr.. Hillquit is a well-established
corporation lawyer. Among the cor
porations he has served is the Con-
solidated Rabbit Dressers' Manufac
turers' Association of Newark, N.
j. His most conspicuous services
for that organization of employers
was rendered during the controversy
it had with Local Union 25 of the
Fur Workers international, during
the whole of which the socialist"
leader represented the employers
association.
Mr.. Hillquit recently covered him
self with glory at Brussels where
he voted against the manifesto which
the Second international" has is
sued. Even the Second Information
al is too radical for this rich cor
poration lawyerl
Mr.. Hillquit has been recently at
lacking the Soviet Union and has
termed the Bolshevist Revolution as
the greatest catastrophe for the
working class.
But something else was recently
discovered about Mr.. Hillquit which
is worth while publishing. 1t is
concerned with the right wing at
tacks on the needle unions.
Mr.. Hillquit has distinguished
himself in this field. He was and

WhO'sWhO of Socialist Electors
Another $4,000 Man.

Another $4,000 Socialist" cleo
tor is Mr.. B. C. Vladeck, manager
of the same Forward. Then there
is another advertising agent of this
same paper by the name of Joseph
Weinberg. There is also that good
friend of the Amalgamated mem
bers, Mr.. Abraham Beckerman,
known for his muscular methods, for
the STANDARD of production" and
piece work system he has estab-
lished in the mems clothing shops
against the overwhelming vote of
the workers in the industry.
Then we have three reverends:
Rev. A. L. Byron Curtis of Atwell;
Rev: Walter N. McNinch of Gin
cinnati and Rev. John Haynes
Holmes of New York.
Direct Link Between Socialists and
Republicans.
Last but not least is Frank C.
Perkins of Buffalo.
Of all the picturesque luminaries
among the socialist electors, Mr..
Perkins shines most brilliantly.
Mr.. Perkins was elected last No
vember as chairman of the City
Council of Buffalo, an office which
corresponds to that of mayor (there
is no mayor in Buffalo, the city be-
ing run by the counciD. He re-
ceived $4,000 votes on the republi-
can ticket, 5000 votes on the So
cialist ticket and 5000 votes on the
independent ticket. Mr.. Perkins
managed to run on all three, as it
were!
The socialists weren't altogether
cheered last November by the cleo
ton OF Perkins as the head of the
city administration of Buffalo. Buff
falo is republican city with
strong party machine. The fact that
the Coolidgeites had given their full
support to Mr.. Perkins and had
rolled up for him vote of IS 900.
against the $1,000 votes received bv
the democrat, Sweeney, was proof
enough where Mr.. Perkins stood
with the republicans. The fact that
the Buffalo socialists had also ac-
cepted Mr.. Perkins as their candi-
date and did not mind his running
on the republican ticket was some
thing for which even the party of
Mr.. Hillquit could not be very COM
pletely enthusiastic. Now we find
the same Perkins among the electors
on the socialist state ticket.
A Fit Party-and How,
Here is direct link between the
socialists and the republican party,
the party of big business.
Small wonder that the news about
the socialist campaign is eft to
print" More so, the list of socialist
electors. They are all honorable
men!
But that millionaires, reverends.
corporation lawyers, and republican
politicians should pretend to repre-
sent workers and also lay claim to
their votes, is one of the freakish
phenomena of American politics. or
rather one of the schemes of the
capitalist class to fool the workers.
The workers will not be fooled.
The workers will vote for a workers
party and workers. candidates and
not for candidates who are mater
tally and ideologically part and par
eel of the bourgeoisie; nor will thew
vote for the socialist party which
is the representative Of the capital
lists within the ranks of the work
ers. The workers have their own
party, the Workers (Communist)
Party of America and will vote for
the candidates of that Partx

This clearly shows that the mill

methods to militarize the youth in

of the word because didn't happen to bag three of those wonderful and magnificent animals. Every man to his own way of thinking. do not pretend to speak for anybody but my self when I say that l regard limit of three brown bear to each hunter as being little short of preposterous. can speak without hesitation because went on record with my guides that I wouldn't kill three of those superb animals under any circumstances nor would I. As a hunter of years of experience, with a consistent regard for the wild life of our country and a sane belief in conservation, would not want such wanton destruction of the great Alaska brown bear on my conscience. Such a limit is an invi tation to the killer" who, in most instances, seems to be more intent on getting his moneys worth" than to secure a worth while specimen of one of the nob1est animals that ever trod the wilderness. Let those who do not agree with me make the most of it. The day will come when the only specimens of this greatest of All aska's wild life will be found only in museums, with the result that our sons and their sons who love the wilder ness trails and the zest of the chase will curse their short sighted ances- tors for hogging the game and the thoughtless law makers who made such things possible. Alaska's Game Commissioners are to be congratulated on having reduced the limit on brown bear to two for the coming years-and they would not go far wrong if they made it one. That at least, is the way I feel about it.

GUS eELLEs' SPLENDID WORK

while l am on the subject, I am glad to go on record concerning the. excellent constructive work that IS being done by the Alaska Guides Inc, along these very lines. In gathering. worth while, trustworthy and con- scientious guides of the Territory into an organization that will fight for the conservation of the game (if for no other reason than self -preservation) Secretary Gelles is performing a pub- lie service, the importance of which is scarcely to be exaggerated. No one realizes the necessity for that kind of police work more than the hunter who observes the law and asks no more than that others will do likewise. Such an organization is a public asset and. richly deserves the earnest support of every public spirited citizen in the Territory"

LACUNA ROUTES
SUBMITTED TO
LOCAL CHAMBER

Reports on the proposed estab-
lishment of a more direct highway
from the valley to Laguna marked
the meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Chamber of Commerce
held last night. Phil knights, city
engineer, and Robert Hays SUBMIT
ed the reports on their findings re-
lative to the proposed new highway.
Knights in his report said that he
had made n survey last fall at the
instance Of the chamber. In his find
ings he believed the best method of
shortening and improving the pres
cnt route to Laguna would be by
cutting away from the state high
way at point near Boulevard.
Boulevard is approximately seven
miles west of Jacumba. This route
would cut between 10 and 16 miles
from the present distance.
The engineer declared that the
rev route would require about 80
per cent heavy road building con
struction work while the remaining
half would be comparatively easy.
The most difficulty, he said, woGid
br encountered, N the Two miles of
mountain construction between La
guna and Thing Valley.
The Carisso Gorge route would be
impractical according to his esti'
mates bat he believes that the gov
ernment would be favorable to the
route through Thing Valley as it
would afford two outlets to the for
est reserve. Tie road as outlined by
Knights would make Laguna about
20 miles distant from FL Centre by
automobile.
Havs then took the floor. He said
that he had written to the state
highway commission relative to the
proposed new highway and had re-
ceived a reply from f. Q. Sullivan,
district engineer of the division of
highways, saying that Sullivan will
be here later. to go over the road
with a view to suggesting new
route to the government
Devils Canyon Route
HAYS declared that he believes
the use of the Devils Canyon road
would prove the proper means OF
affording new highway to Laguna.
He said that 90 per cent of that
highway is at present large enough
to permit the passage of two cars
and that it should prove an easy
matter to improve it for use to La
guna.
This would cut the new highway
off the state road at point just
above Mountain Sitings and ac-
cording to Hays would bring La
guna within two hours drive of FL
Centre. He further said that it would
open considerable new territory to
the motoring public which he be
lieves would be regarded as highly
favorable by the government.
The board then turned its dis
cussion to the matter of airports.
Upon motion made by Ross Hick-
cox d committee consisting of X. y.
Watson, Ray Edgar, w. c. Costello
and j. s. Cameron was named to
look into the matter of airports
and were instructed TO check up lnr
title on several proposed sites. They
are to make a report on the matter
