A. F, KEELING (. FOUND DEAD

Antone r. Kelling, an aged FISH erman. residing on the DouS-as beach near Cowee creek. was founu dead in his cabin yesterday afser- noon when U. s. Commissioner Charles Sey and Deputy U. 5. Marshal w. E. Feero went out to investigate the possibility that had happened.
 J TWO neighbors of Kelling, Matt Multala and Jack Merla, having missed him for two or three days, had gone to his cabin to inyestl- gate but found the door locked from within and they could get no response to their knocking. Sus- pecting something wrong, they made haste to report the matter to the authorities.
 Judging from the position ol the body, which was found lying stretched out on the bed, death may have been due to heart d. sease or some acute illness. The remains were brought to town and ~urned over to the w. c. Carter mortuary.
 A search of the Kelling cabin revealed very little information regarding him. Plenty of pro- visions were in the cabin ana about S20 in money was found. According to his neighbors the deceased had been in the habit or going trolling during the summer seasons but had not gone out last summer. No letter or other evl- dence of relatives were located. He was a pensioner of the Territory.

ident, and George H. Lakey, second
general president.
You will notice that this clause
specifically guaranteed to every
member, who would transfer, full
rights and privileges. Not only that,
but an individual communication was
sent to all of the members of that
local stating that if you would take
your clearance card Immediately
your standing in the Brotherhood
would be in no way affected. Not
withstanding this decision that we
should have full rights and priv
leges guaranteed to the brothers that
transferred, under the signature Of
Hutcheson and the two vice-presi-
dents, he went back on his word,
and after the members had been
transferred he sent secret letters to
the local unions where the members
were assigned, depriving them of
the right of ever holding office in
the United Brotherhood, in viola
ton of the constitution and in viola
tin of his own decision. The details
of this case come up under sepa-
rate appeal. / will not dwell on
that. That will be taken up in the
appeal of Joseph Lapidas, who has
been a candidate for president of
local 1854 and has been taken off
the ballot by orders of Hutcheson,
stating that the former members of
local 376 could not hold office for
an indefinite period. There was no
definite period allowed.
In conclusion l expect from what
Brother Hutcheson has said that he
is going to spring a great surprise.
He is going to do that probably be-
cause his case, as far as it concerns
the local union, is very weak.

judgment on the actions of General
President Hutcheson during the last
four years. ask you to support

tice on our officials that constitu-
tional provisions and guarantees
made by decisions, especially in the
case where he had guaranteed full
rights and privileges to every men,
Der that transferred, cannot be
arbitrarily abrogated by our general
officers.
If the convention approves the &C
tions of Hutcheson it will set a pre-
cedent where Hutcheson can suspend

that Hutcheson needs such a prece-

to consider the circumstances and to

everything l said. Could we in fair
ness to the local union, in fairness
to ourselves, and in fairness to
honesty and straightforwardness,
have acted any differently?
And | appeal to you, brothers, that
if the general officers or anybody
else tries to inject other issues into

itself, disregard it. That is usually
trick to steam up members against

Therefore, this is to notify your

at is President Hutcheson who is
guilty of violating the laws of our
Brotherhood by his deliberate and
interruptions policy of prosecuting
all progressive members who dare
to oppose and challenge his al
mighty rule in the Brotherhood. Lo-
cal Union 376 is fully informed of
his actions in Chicago in the case
of the five progressive members of
ISL, in Detroit in the case of Brother
William Reynolds, president of Lo-
cal Union 2140, and the reorgani-
cation of the district council of De-
troit, Mich, in Philadelphia in the
case of w. F. Burgess, member and

Brother James Walsh, president of

By H. C. WILLIAMS.

What is the significance of the
eleven years existence of the Sow
Jet Union in relationship to the
working class and oppressed colonial
peoples? Prior to 1917, under the
lash of imperialist butchery and
robbery, little hope was held by the
millions of black and yellow people
of Africa and Asia.
The biggest imperialist countries
of the world, namely, America,
France, England, Japan, Germany
and Russia, by confiscating whole
continents and dividing them among
themselves as means of securing
raw material, cheap labor and large
spheres of influence, created great
rivalry and deep antagonism among
themselves to such an extent that
world war was inevitable.
Such competition inevitably led
to world conflict which took the
lives of millions of workers and op-
pressed colonial peoples. After
many years of fighting, the work
ers of the world began to ask the
question as to why they were fight
ing and killing each other.
The Bolshevik Party of Russia,
with the historical background of
1905, steeled with MARKHAM principles
and under the leadership of Lenin-
ism called upon the workers of the
world to turn the imperialist war
into a civil war. This led to the
triumph of the proletarian revolu-
ton of Russia which shook the en-
tire world.

Legion. Long live the solidarity of

struggle of the oppressed people
against Imperialism. Long live Sow
