Rasputin's Daughter
Suing Yousoupoff

PARIS, July Madame Solovief
daughter of the Russian Monk Ras-
putin, confidential adviser to the
Russian Royal Family, has brought
suit for 100000 francs damages
against Prince Yousoupoff for the
assassination of the monk, and against
Grand Duke Dimitri, who was in You
soupoff's home when the assassina-
ton occurred.
Whether the case Will be heard is
extremely doubtful, following assar-
tions by Yousoupoff and his followers
that the murder was Of a purely polit-
zeal character. Moreover, as the
parties involved are under the protec-
ton of the League Of Nations, having
rejected the nationality of the Soviet
Republic and not having assumed
French nationality, the jurisdiction of
the French courts in this respect is a
subject of debate in the corridors of
the Palais De Justice.
Nine. Solovief admits the excessive
drinking habits of the priest, but
naively adds that he did it because
he knew he was condemned and that
the fatal hour was approaching. She
attributes to Prince Yousoupoff a
sinister design for overthrowing the
car, placing the Grand Duke Dimi-
tri on the throne, and himself becom-
ing the power behind the new ruler.

POISON AGAINST
LABOR is SPREAD
BY insult Trust
Mysterious Payments
Made by Magnates
BY LAWRENCE TODD
Celebrated Press)

WASHINGTON (FP1, July 1. =
Why did a public utilities lobbyist,
w. C. Frazee, of Rushville, home viii
lage of Sen. Jim Watson, draw ST.
270.6Q for his services and expens-
es" at the 60-day session of the In
diana legislature of 1928? Why did
the Indiana Utilities Assn, state
branch Of Sam Insults nationwide
system Of propaganda and lobbying
activities, pay Frazee S3.286 for the
session of 1925, and $500 for the
session of 1927?
That is one Of the many mysteries
presented to the Federal Trade Com
mission June % when John Mellett.
former university instructor and
newspaper man, for years director
of the power trust propaganda in In
diana, was on the stand. Mellett
could not explain why Frazee, Jim
Watson's townsman, was so expen-
sive. He said he never saw an item
lied bill for these services and ex-
penses. Mellett gave up his job last
September.
Mysterious Payments
Then there was a mysterious pay
ment of $4,000, during last years
session, to Frank O. Cuppy, to whom
Mellett afterward paid in cash an
additional $1,000 as salary" This
was strange, Chief Counsel Healy for
the Commission pointed out, as Cup
Ply was on regular salary as secre-
tary-manager of the Lafayette Tele-
phone Co. and of the Indiana Tele-
phone Assn. He registered at the
state-house as a lobbyist.
Albert Stump, Tom Taggart's Dem
ocratic nominee for U. S. senator in
1926 and again this year, was en-
ployed by Mellett's bureau in 1921
and 1922 to deliver speeches in the
state. He talked before Rotary and
other Service" clubs on patriotism
and the utilities. The first season,
when he was merely tried out, he
was paid $165.69, but in 1922 he
drew $1,161.51. He was not adver-
tised as hired man of the power
trust, but as patriotic orator."
insult Propaganda
In a pamphlet circulated in Indi-
ana high schools, and called "The
Half Century Miracle" Mellett's bu-
reau employed the standard insult
school-propaganda arguments for
private ownership and non-interfer-
ence. But there was inserted an ar
gument against strikes-evidently at
the instance of the anti-union man.
agement of the traction company in
Indianapolis.
Anti-Labor Poison
when street railway transporta-
ton was suspended by strikes in Bos-
ton, Denver, and Chicago, merchant
trade fell off SO per cent, and multi
tudes of working people, besides
those on strike, lost wages because
they could not get to work on time
or at all. In the summer of 1919,
telephone service in Christian, Shelby
and Montgomery counties, Illinois,
was suspended by strike of opera
tors"
This poison against organized la
Dor was offered to 210 high-schools
and was accepted by GA. A speech
by Sam insult and one by Harry NJ.
Daugherty were mailed to 1000 util-
ity executives, politicians and news
papers. For this work Mellett first
got $4,000 and later $4,000 a year.

Evidence Shows Huge
Conspiracy
Especial Cable to The Daily worlrer)

(SpecfaI Cable to The Daily Worker)
MOSCOW, July 1.-The irrefutable
existence of a giant counter-rovolu-
tionary sabotage organization, the
object of which was the complete ruin
of the Soviet Union coal industry in
the Donetz Basin was proved by evil
dence submitted at the Donetz trial,
according to Prosecutor Krylenko.
The organization was connected
abroad with the former Czarist own
ers of the mines and with official for
eign institutions, Krylenko declared.
The accused, the prosecutor charged,
were not only guilty of sabotage and
espionage, but planned to create dis
order in the rear, if the Soviet Union
were attacked by the imperialistic
powers.
After summing up the evidence
against the members of the sabotage
organization, Krylenko demanded
death sentences for Beresovcky, Kali
ganov,, Boyarinov,. Budny, Sushtchey-
ski, Adrei Kolodub, Vassilyev, Alex
ander Nekrassov, Matov, Bartanov-
sky, Kasarinov, Boyarshinov, Gorlet-
Xxi, Stadium, Kusma, Bashkin, Mesh
kov, Yussevitch, Krishanovski, Sko-
rutto and Rabinovitsh.
He demanded terms of imprison-
ment for Imenitoff, Kelnin, Samoilov,
Ivan Krassov and Ehilian Kolodub,
The indictment against the German,
Meier, was dropped because he had
been falsely accused by Bashkin.
Krylenko demanded the copdemna-
ton Of the German, Badstieber, with
probation and a sentence of six
months for the German technician,
Otto.

that reduction in wages will help
the Illinois miners This can not and
will not help, because where coal
mines are operated non-union the OPP
orator simply cuts the wages by post
ing a notice. The question arises:
VIII the miners allow these betrayers
still to lead them? We believe not.
We have faith in the fighting spirit
of the rank and file of the United
Mine Workers of America
Will the sufferings and hardships,
the giving of life itself by the Ohio
and Pennsylvania miners, have been in
vain? Muse miners, their wives and
children be beaten. slugged, thrown in
jails, murdered again and again, be-
fore the workers learn that they must
organize into great labor party on
the political field?
The hope of the miners future lies
in Riding their union of these betray
ers, the Iewises, Fishwicks, Capped

Appeal" For Aid.
Although considerable bail was
raised from strike sympathizers, the
leaders of the union and the Interna-
tional Labor Defense sent out an i'm
mediate appeal which brought in
enough to release all those arrested
before night. Despite the offer to put
up sufficient bail bonds, the police de-
layed the strikers release for sew
eral hours.
All those arrested are facing the
charge of melting to riot, assaulting
policemen, and disturbing the peace.

during the strike, which enters it's
twelfth week.
Huge Picket Line
The largest picket lines that have
as yet appeared at the mills during
the strike, are expected to come out
for duty Monday morning. This is
due, not only to the tremendous fight
ing spirit generated by the attack on
the parade, but also to the fact that
the mill owners have threatened to re-
open their mills Monday, July 9.

pected to jam the cotton manufactur-
