SMUT SITUATION
DEMANDS ATTENTION

NO longer can W. delude our-
selves into believing that no smut
ty wheat is shipped from Roose-
welt county. A cold blooded ana
lysis by r. H. Black, U. S. Grain
investigator at Minneapolis shows
that 26 ars of smutty wheat were
received in Minneapolis between
August l and October 81, 1927,
from Roosevelt county shipping
points. OF the 26 ears designated
as smutty, Is were winter wheat
and IL were spring wheat.
The report by Mr.. Black credits
the following stations with cars of
smutted wheat; Bainville, 3 spring;
Brockton, 1 spring; Culbertson, 3
spring, 4 winter; Poplar, 3 spring,
6 winter; Glover, l spring; Nc
Cabe, 1 winter; Wolf Point, 4 win
ter.
Shipments of spring wheat from
Roosevelt county show less smut
infection proportionately than
from any other county in north
eastern Montana, however, the
foregoing report indicates there is
considerable room for improve
ment. The loss by the grain trade
or by farmers from this county on
smutted grain during the season
is v%ariously estimated to be from
$4,000 to 5000 or more, and is
considered a needless waste which
treating by standard control
methods will prevent.
Montana as a state shipped 37S
cars of smutted spring wheat and
1882 cars of smutted winter
wheat into Minneapolis during the
period covered in Mr.. Blacks re-
port.-A. w. Warden, County
Agent.

FILE INCOME TAX
RETURNS EARLY

c. A. Rasmussen, collector of
internal revenue, Helena, Montana
calls attention to the fact that the
last day for filing income tax re-
turns is on Thursday, March Is;
and urges all taxpayers to file
early.
There are no changes in tho 1aw,
regulations, rates, or exemptions,
from last year. The act Of 1926
governs the filing of this years
returns. Those who must file are
single persons widows and wi
bowers included) who had net in
come Of $500 or more, or gross
income of $4,000 or more; and
married couples who had net in
come OF SO, 800 or more, or gross
income of $1,000 or more. The
personal exemptions are $500 for
each single individual, and SO, 800
for each married person, with ad.
ditional exemption Of $500 for
each child under is. Taxpayers
are urged to exercise due caution
in computing the % percent de-
duction for tax which would be
due on their earned income. In
correct Interpretation of this pro
vision has caused many errors and
much confusion. Read the in
structions on back of blanks care
fully. E
In making out his income tax
for the year 1927, the business
man, professional man, or farmer,
is required to use Form 1910, re-
CARELESS of whether his net in
come was or was not in excess of
$4,000. The smaller Form, 1O40A,
is used for reporting incomes Of
$4,000 or less, derived chiefly
from salaries or wages.
Attention is called to the fact
that in previous years, stockmen
and farmers have failed to file re-
turns, who had gross incomes OF
5000 or more, when such returns
would have proved non taxable.
In order to avoid penalties by rea-
son of Investigations to be made
in the future, such persons as are
engaged in farming occupations
and who come under the limita-
lions and provisions of this act
that is to say, who have gross in
comes of over IS, O00-should file
returns accompanied by the farm
schedule known as 1040 f.
Forms have been sent to per-
who last year filed returns of
income. Failure to receive a form,
however, does not relieve the tax
from his obligation to file a
and pay the tax within the
time prescribed, on or before
March Is, 1928. All corporations
and partnerships must file income
tax returns, regardless of the
amounts of their income, and even
they operated at a loss.
Failure to file returns within the
time specified by law, will result

CUBA yAILS FOR
CANCER TORTURE

HAVANA, July 30.-The innocu-
lation of cancer into prisoners as an
alternative to the death penalty has
been proposed by Cuban medical and
health officials. 1t is proposed that
prisoners condemned to death should
be given the choice Of allowing
themselves to be inoculated with
cancer, in which case they would re-
main for twelve years under medi-
cal observation for experimentation
and study of the disease and its de-
velopments and methods of cure, If
the prisoner survives these twelve
years he would be freed to die out
side the prison.
The proposal is to go before the
Cuban congress for legislative ac-
ton. At present the Cuban convicts
condemned to death are executed by
the old Spanish system of the gar
rote," by which the condemned is
checked to death by an iron ring
placed around his neck and turn
screw, which is forced into the back
of the neck.

PLAN BIG ANTI
WAR MEETINGS
Appeals to Births h
Workers in Letter

NEW HAVEN, July 29.--The
Workers (Communist) Party and
the Young Workers (Commuinst)
League of District Is, Connecticut,
have arranged for big anti-war open
air demonstrations to take place in
most of the principal cities in the
state on the fourteenth anniversary
of the outbreak of the imperialist
war of 1914-1S.
These meetings, taking place in
various cities between July 81 and
August 6, inclusive, will be ad-
dressed by Charles Mitchell, acting
district organizer of the party, and
Dan Grey, district organizer of the
league.
The dates and places Of the meet
ings are as follows: New Haven,
Tuesday, July 81 at 8 p. M, at the
Green, Church and Chopel Sts.; New
Britain, Wednesday, August l at s
p. M, at the Center; Hartford,
Thursday, August 2 at 7:30 p. M, at
Buckingham and Main SITS; STAN
ford, Friday, August at 1880 p. m,
on the Town Hall steps; Bridgeport,
Saturday, August at 8 p. M, at
Bank and Main SITS, and in New
London, Monday, August 6 at 8 p.
M, at Bank and Main SITS.
All preparations have been made
for a successful anti-war demon
stration in cities like New Haven,
Bridgeport and New London, the
former two being the center of war
industry and the latter one of the
biggest naval bases in the country.
In arranging these anti-war meet
ings, it is the aim of the Party and
the Young Workers League to bring
home to the workers of this state
the disastrous results of the last
world war, which cost the working
class of the world over ten million
lives and untold misery and degrade
ton, and to warn against the fren-
zied preparations on the part of the
imperialists for another world
slaughter.

Youth of Bulgaria

SOFIA, July N29.-fhe Bulgarian
youth movement has hot been per-

Under the fascist rule, working
class youth organizations are for

prevent the spread of revolutionary
ideas among the working class
youth.
In spite of the White Terror. the
underground youth movement is
very active, and at the present mo-
ment has sections in about 30
places. The conditions under which
the youth work is very difficult, and
legal conventions are impossible.

HIT NATIONAL
GUARD AS TOOL
OF OPERATORS
Point to Kenosha AS
Example

by Worker Correspondent
Another exposure of the purpose
of the national guard and capitalist
militarism in general as strike
breaking agency comes from Keno
sha, Wis.
The city council of Kenosha re-
Gently sent request for use of the
national guard in the hosiery work.
ers' strike. Unable to break the
strike with the power of the local
police, the national guardsmen had
to be called in.
Fight Against Own Interests.
What does this mean? 1t shows
the Importance of the national
guard as tool Of the bosses, and
that many workers who enlist are
used against their own interest.
Workers from one industry are used
against those of another, and occa-
sionally against their own strikes,
as happened in the Henderson, N. c.,
textile strike. When the police can
not succeed In breaking strike, the
national guard is the next line of the
bosses strength.
The answer of the governor of
Wisconsin was that the efforts of
the local authorities should be in
tensified, and that if again unsuc-
cessful the request for the national
guard should be repeated. This
does not lessen the significance of
the case, for the governor is re-
luctant to use the national guard
when the police could use their clubs
more effectively. The city council
exposed itself and this matter must
be taken up by the workers.
Appeal to Youth.
The Young Workers (Communist)
League plans an appeal to youth or
CARNATIONS for a united front
against the use of the national guard
as a strike-breaker. This case must
be used to expose militarism. The
national guardsmen, who come from
the ranks of the workers, must be
shown the role for which they are
used, so that they will refuse to be
used as breakers and that
when called upon to fight against
their fellow workers, they will use
their military knowledge for their
own class against the bosses.

CONTROL WORLD
CABLE SYSTEMS
Huge Communications
Merger Planned

OTTAWA, Ontario, July 28.--
The report of the Imperial Wireless
and Cable Conference of 1928, is
here yesterday, disclosed plan pro-
posing a worldwide merger and
control Of cables and wireless by
the British government. The mer-
ger company would include all COM
panies of the British dominions,
protectorates and colonies and would
control virtually all major lines of
communication.
The report states that British
control of all the companies will be
guaranteed and that the govern
ment will assume control of the cable
and wireless systems in tine of war
or other emergencies. The right to
build stations and lines solely for
military purposes is reserved by the
merger company, under supervision
of the English government.
The merger, which went into eff
feet as of April /, 1928, includes
the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
Company, Eastern Extension and
Western Telegraph Companies, the
Pacific Cable Board, the West In
dian Gable and Wireless system,
the Imperial Atlantic Cables and all
post office stations and beams.
Although the Canadian Wireless
Company will be allowed to main
tain parallel independent service
it will be subject to immediate in
corporation into the British govern
ment merger in times of emergency.
The boards of directors of the
mergers must be approved by the
English government on the sugges-
ton of the cable companies. The
government will thus retain COM
plete control of the communications
merger.
On matters of policy the company
will have to refer to an advisory
board which will consist of govern
ment representatives.
The report warns against Ser
tain foreign interests to secure an
increased share in the control and
operation of world communications"
and says that the merger will vir-
tually eliminate foreign competition.

ing the years 1918, 1914, 1915 and
1916 l was an active participant in
many strikes-some of my own
trade, and some in other trades with
which I was sympathetic. During
part of that time was president Of
Local PIG (San Francisco, CALI, Of
the Boot and Shoe Workers Union
and delegate to the San Francisco
Labor Council and also to the Inter
national Workers Defense League.
In short, l was an active progressive
in the labor movement along with
Thomas J. Mooney, Edward D. No
Ian and others.
EARLY in 1916 we were all inter-
ested in an attempt to organize the
Electric Railway Workers of San
Francisco and this, coupled with our
other activities, won US the enmity
of various public utilities corpora
lions which subsequently sought to
remove us from their path to lower
wages and obtain greater profits.
"On July %, 1916, during a pa
triotic demonstration, known at the
time as the Preparedness Parade"
bomb of some sort was exploded
at the intersection of two of the
principal streets of the city and II
persons were killed and 40 more in
jured. 1t was deplorable catas-
trophe and heinous crime, but the
corporations who sought our re-
moval from the field of labor lost
no time whatever in turning it to
their advantage, and in very short
time they had us all in prison
charged with the crime. Five of us
were arrested-Thomas J. Mooney
Mrs. Rena Mooney, his wife, Edward
D. Nolan, Israel Weinberg and my
self.
Absolutely No Evidence.
There was absolutely no evidence
to connect us with the crime, but
that made no difference to the cor
porations and their private detec-
tives. They hired ex-convicts, pros
titutes. drug addicts, and criminals
of any and all stripes to appear as
witnesses against us, and the result
was that both Mooney and were
convicted and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. Mrs. Mooney and Vein
berg were both acquitted on the self
same evidence upon which we were
convicted, but that was after we hac
exposed the bulk of the testimony
as rank perjury. Nolan was never
tried at all, but was released after
nine months imprisonment.

convictions against US and maintain
