WARSAW, (By Mail) The Polish
reformists have been in state of for
NAL opposition to Pilsudski's govern
ment since January last. The policy
of the government scattered all the
illusions the masses may have har-
bored with regard to Pilsudski
Plentiful evidence, such as the broad
strike movement, the elections to the
Sick Benefit Societies and Municipal
Councils WARSAW, LODI, etc., dur
ing which the workers despite re-
pressive action voted in their thou
sands for the annulled Communist
lists, the May Day and 7th Novem-
Der demonstrations, the pro te t
demonstration after the murder of
Voikov, convinced the reformists that
the working masses were Slipping
away from them and openly going
over to the side of the Communists.
This spontaneous movement even
found certain reflection in the
trade union movement. The reform
ist leaders were forced, on pam of
being left behind by the masses, to
embark upon regular system OF OPP
positional naneouvres, beginning with
the resolution passed by the Central
Commission of Trade Unions on the
18th of January, 1927.
This resolution declared: "The Cen
trial Commission of Trade Unions con-
siders that the policy of the present
government is hostile to the interests
of the working class" In April the
Central Commission declared: "The
Government is waging a campaign
tory of the State concerns :. the
development of organizations of a
fascist type cannot be allowed to come
to pass"

While, however, that section of the
Polish Socialist Party, which was
nearer to the masses was adapting
it's tactics to the spirit of the masses
many prominent members of the
party-Morachevski, Goluvko, Yavor-
ovski and others--took an active part
in Pilsudski's policy. Incessant ar
guments went on within the Polish
Socialist Party between the open adj
herents of Pilsudski and the trade
unionists. This internal struggle be-

Pole Police Arrest
Leading Communists

WARSAW, Jan. IL. - Practically
the entire Central Committee of the
Communist Party of Poland and the
Young Communist League have been
arrested, according to Warsaw police
announcements. A systematic terror
has been carried on since the Christ
mas holidays Households raids are
a daily occurrence.
The terrorism which is aimed at
all progressive organizations is par
ticularly strong against the Commun-
ists. Pilsudski's police agents are
ruthless in Selling workers merely on
the suspicion of Communist sympa-
Thy and throwing them into the in
describably horrible Polish jails.

MOSCOW, Jan. Interpretations

Workers as Terrorism

LONDON, Jan. 11.-Eight work
ers, suspected of Communist sympa-
thies, have been arrested by the Pal
estine police, reports from Jaffa
state. The authorities are carrying on
reign of terror against all progress
sive and labor bodies. In one place
they broke down the door of a room

FRENCH SOLDIERS
REBEL ARREST IS
Communist Prisoners
Sing In Jails

PARIS, (By MaiD. Fifteen
French soldiers have been arrested as
the result of the Communist mutiny
at the garrison of Calvi, Corsica.
The prisoners were dragged from
their cells and put into irons when
they began singing revolutionary
songs which were taken up by other
soldiers in the barracks.
The Communist soldiers refused to
stop singing when ordered to do SO
and barricaded themselves in the de-
tention room. The door was then
battered in and the Communists put
in irons.
Troops in the Calvi garrison, ac-
cording to reports received here, are
in a complete state of insubordina-
ton. 1t is likely that they will be
transferred to another garrison

PHONE TAPPING CONTINUES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. TO-
The supreme court recently refused
to disregard evidence secured by pro-
hibition agents by the tapping of tele-
phone wires. Many here view this as
dangerous precedent, saying that
millions of people will be subject to
spying by agents who will pretend
to seek evidence relating to crime.

NO INCREASE IN PRICE

Potato farmers in Connecticut have
little hope for in increase or marked
rise in price this year due 20 the con
sistently low returns all season and
the size Of the tuber crop Of the coun-
try.
"The price Of potatoes" claims DR..
+. A Perregaux. Connecticut extern
sion economist, in reporting crop and
market conditions Of the state ''is az
fected much more by the size Of the
United States crop than by any single
factor. The mobility Of the potato
crop and the fact that there is no
carry-ovcr from one season 60 the
next necessitates large crop being
absorbed during the season. II pric-
els are relatively high ~ the beginning
of the season. II may stimulate ship
ments sufficiently so that there may
be- a shortage az the end with conse
auent higher prices. II the prices are
low al the beginning Of the season
shipments may be held back sufficient
ly so that the price viii not rise
throughout the remainder Of the
year"
Potato production IN the New Eng
land states for 1928 amounted 10 49,
552 900 bushels. the New England
Crop Reporting Service announced
Thursday. This total compares with
IS. 662. 900 bushels harvested last
year and the average Of 47,253,O0

Outlying District and Roads,
Pupils Make Pastors.-Hon-
or Roll Includes 19 Names.

The pupils and teachers of the Saw
yer District School are pleased be-
cause at last the road from their
school towards the "Home" is being
snished. They were astonished that
the work was begun last year at the
southern extension and the other end
neglected. There are but six pupils
who travel over the road but twice
a day while the part running north
fs traversed four times day by
forty-fve pupils and one tax-paying
teacher
The road running south from the
school was given layer of stones
and then covered with gravel. II was
bv no means in a bad condition as
the road towards the "Home" which
has been a bed Of mud in some places
and a sheet of water in others for
wears. The writer knows from ae-
tual experience that it was difficult
undertaking TO get 10 the school with
out wetting ones feet. This part has
SOW been covered with a few inches
of gravel.
However we're thankful for that
small favor though we had been told
that the ROAD Whe 70 ot "th sNP"'N@

BRIERE GETS $1,000
AWARD FROM JURY
Danielson Man Injured By OFF,
GERS Billy Successful In
Suit
Putnam Theaters Cooperation Found
Liable

After being out but approximately
thirty minutes "A jury in the superior
court at Putnam. Saturday, returned
at IL. 40 p. m, and through the fore.
man, G. Henry Bright. returned q
verdict for the plaintiff, Charles
Briere of Danielson, in the sum OF
81 600 The verdict was accepted by
the court. No motion was made BY
the attorney for the defendant Put.
nam Theatres Corporation. Ii is an.
derstood that the defendant is covered
by insurance.
The case grew out Of an assault,
made on the plaintiff by a servant Of
the defendant while the plaintiff was
a patron Of the Orpheum Theatre
Danielson, on the night Of December
4th, 1927.
Starts at Road-House
The story unfolded from the witness
stand was that Briere and several
companions visited road house over
the Rhode Island border during the af-
ternoon and drank four or five glasses
Of home brew. That they returned 70
Danielson. had supper, and separated.
Briere went to the 0rpheum Theatre.
While seated in the theatre Officer
Alphonse Fraser, employed by the
theatre company, upon complaint that
Briere was unduly noisy. went 10
Br.ere and asked him to leave. There
was a seuffle, the house manager, Hen
ry Johnson. appeared, and upon his
request Briere followed him out.
| At the back OF the theatre there was
another scuffle between the officer and
Briere and the officer struck Briere
several times with his club. Briere
was taken to Doctors Office and sub
sequently went 10 the Day Kimball
! Hospital, where it was found that
there was slight crack in his skull.
Injuries Serious
Expert testimony was in substance
that there is nothing known 10 medical
science that can remedy such a condi-
ton, and that the possibilities are that
the injured one will have headaches
and suffer mental trouble, possibly
followed by apoplexy
The issue was as 10 whether the Off.
Ger used unnecessary force in eleetinp
the plaintiff. The defence commended
that Briere was drunk, making a dis
turbance, resisted the officer. and was
choking the officer at the time the Off
Ger used his club.
+ The plaintiff introduced numerous
witnesses to prove that he was not I'M
der the influence Of liquor, that he was
not boisterous, and that he did not
attack the officer.
/ Briere is an exceptionally well built
man, thirty-six years cid. and is in the
