A well-known American man ot letters once called on Thomas Hardy at Max Gate, his home in Dorset. The Englishman talked sparingly and listened more. Later, the American was asked his impression of the noted au- thor and he replied with one Stony
 Hardy himself might have given the same answer, for until the last he held to what has been termed his classic pessimism," a shy, shrinking, self-effacing little man. unaware of his eminence.
 So unassuming in his manner was Hardy that H. G. Wells on first beholding him, exclaimed:
 What? That little gray man?"

 With all his shyness, however, Hardy wrote in a bold, striking manner. His view of women, 1t has been said. was more French than English in that he saw all that is irresponsible for good and evil in a woman's character, all that is untrustworthy in her brain and will, all that is alluring in her variability. He was her apol. ogist. but always with a reserve of private judgment.
 This attitude. carried cut with relentless sincerity. at times proved too much for Victorian sentiments.

Hard-BOiled Facts About
 Alaska Are Tersely Told
 By Gen. ". P. Richardson

Gen. W. P. Richardson, Tor twenty years resident of Alaska most of which time he was Presi- dent of the Alaska Road comm.s- sion, created by Congress at his suggestion and upon his urgenee, Is the author of an article of T dozen pages in the January mum Der of the Atlantic Monthly on Alaska. He reviews briefly the progress of the Territory for the last thirty years, the effect of Government activities in it. and the outlook for the future. and offers suggestions as to the policy that ought to be pursued.
 In the first place. Gen. Richard son contends that there has been too much booming and exagges. ation with reference to the extent and richness of Alaska's ra. sources. He disputes the conten ton that the Territory is ths richest possession under the American flag" points to tle slowness of settlement and de- yelopment to prove it. and con. trasts the slothfulness of North. ern development with the rapid ity of the development of the Louisiana and Florida purchases, etc. He contends that the Alas. ka Railroad has not justified the predictions Of those who secured it's authorization from Congress. He declares that the expenditure of $70.000.000 in that enterprise was not warranted, and that less money invested in good roads and trails and other Improvements would have brought better re- turns. However, he is emphatic in his contention that having built the railroad it must be kept 'n service.
 Harm In Exapgeration
 He blames exaggerated state. ments and harmful propaganda, coming at time when "muc6- raking corporations and 'preia- tory wealth" was favorite' voca. tion, for developing the belief among the people of the country that they possessed a substantial and definite interest, payable un. on demand, in the coal lands ef Alaska. of which they were aboul to be robbed" This resulted in a "blow to further development by the withdrawal from entry within a short period of years of thIs coal. oil and timber lands"
 It was this that had most to de with the failure of the placer gold operations to last long enough to permit the population they had brought into the country to be- come fixed. as President Roose- welt had told Gen. Richardson that he hoped would be the case. While Gen. Richardson does not mention it, it was MT. Roosevelt who made the withdrawals that defeated the fruition of his hope.
 Gen. Richardson declares that the amount of coal involved in the controversy when 1t was asserted that predatory interests were about to steal the coal lands was about one-thirtieth of one per cent of the coal areas now located in that Territory. And nobody was trying to steal it! Yet it be- came almost worth ones reputat tion to express an opinion con. trary to this prevailing convic- tion."

RUTH SNYDER
 AND H. J. GRAY
 DIE IN CHAIR
Both Forfeit Their Lives for Killing Husband
 of Woman
BOTH ELECTROCUTED
 IN PRISON AT NIGHT
W 0 m an Says Forgive Them as Led to Chair
 Man Utters Prayer

OSSlNING. N. Y, Jan. 13-Mrs Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd Gray paid with their lives in the electric chair for the murder of the woman's husband.
 Mrs. Snyder was led to the chair first and pronounced dead at 11:06 o'clock last night. Gray followed immediately and was pro nounced dead at 11:16 o'clock.
 Mrs. Snyder went to the chain muttering Biblical quotation and Gray followed her to death, his lips moving in prayer but making no audible sound.
 Taken to Death Chamber
 Mrs. Snyder was led to the death chamber by two matrons who stayed with her to the end. As she walked to the electric chair she cried out: Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do."
 As Mrs. Snyder's body was taken from the room, Gray. sen fenced with her for the murder If her husband. was led in.
 A Catholic Priest had murmur- ed the ritual as Mrs. Snyder died and Gray was accompanied by a Protestant Minister. As the Min ister read in solemn voice. Gray's lips were seen to move n a responsive prayer

 Mrs. Snyder was given three shocks of 2.200 volts and Gray two shocks.
 Mrs. Snyder wore a black house dress, open at the neck and scarcely more than knee length Over this was a tan smock.
 Gray wore light grey suit. white shirt but no necktie.. CRIME FOR WHICH THEY DIED
 The crime for which Ruth Shy der and Henry Judd Gray were condemned to die arose from tn, petty discontent of two common place folk-a bored housewife and an intellectual man trying vaguely to be good fellow.
 But the deed itself famed forth one Sunday morning so luridly that the story was told and re. told in far lands.
 Daughter calIs Police
 On the morning of March 90 last year, terrified little girl ran from a small frame dwelling in Queens Village. She brought po- lice and neighbors to find Albert Snyder, art editor of the magazine Motor Boating" dead in his bed The 45-year-old man had met death violently. His skull had been crushed, picture wire had been twisted about his neck. and chloroform-saturated pads of cot. ton stuffed into his nostrils.
 Ruth Snyder, his wife, IA years his junior, was found tied hau9 and foot She hitd aroused her nine-year-old daughter Lorraine by pumping against the. door If the child's bedroom. The house was in disorder.
 Within few hours. the young woman who thought she had tricked the police had confessed that she and her lover, Henry Judd Gray. had killed Snyder to have him out of the way and to enjoy $96.O00 of insurance she had placed upon his life.

URGES ALL
WORKERS TO VOTE RED

The Grand Lodge officialdom are
lined up either with the elephant or
with the jackass. In Chicago,
Charles w. Fry, business agent Of
Lodge 126, the boss of the district,
and slugger in chief recently against
the progressive elements, has be-
come the chairman of the Chicago
Trade Union Committee for Al
Smith.
Fry, with salary many times
that of the ordinary machinist, lines
up with the democrats. Business
Agent Uhlmann of Chicago was
lined up last year with the repub-
licans. These apostles of class-col-
laboration quite naturally fall into
the employers parties. But the in
terest of the rank and file machin-
ist lies in a fundamentally opposite
direction.
What of the S. p?
And what about the socialist
party? Grand Lodge officials in
former years, before the war, car
ried red cards. It was Socialist
union. Can the socialist party lay
claim to support from machinists :?
Led by the Reverend Norman Thom-
as, backed by the millionaire cor
poration lawyer, Morris Hillquit, it
has become defender of the exist
ing order, trying to reform" capi-
talism. 1t is lined up with the fax
ers in the labor movement. 1t op-
poses the rank and file membership
in the mining and needle trades
unions, who struggled against the
takers, and finally had to establish
new unions. The socialist party lost
its rank and file membership many
years ago; it has also lost its claim
to be working class party.
What happened to the former $50

Former President Johnston led SEN

alley through his many Conference:

so-called Socialists" had swung

Of their former opponents. A NOR.
ganatic marriage took place between

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT
Conductorless Orchestra Enthusiastically
Received In First Concert at Carnegie Hall

without the aid of a conductor. The
players also showed by their force
full playing the ground work Of many
rehearsals. In the slow movement
and the sherzo the players again
proved by their tempo and technic
the thorough work of fine musician
ship. The rendering of the finale
was an accomplishment and was
surprising in its vigor and earnest
ness.
The accompaniment for the SOLO
ist was further surprise. Although
Max Rosen gave the impression of
being somewhat nervous in his
opening passage, the first move
ment of the concerto showed the
possibility of the many opportuni-
ties of a conductorless orchestra.
The rondo was especially refreshing
as rendered by Rosen. Altogether
his work of the evening was mas
terly.
A word or two of the personel
would not be amiss here. The mem
bers. of the Ensemble, which is CO.
operative, combined their resources
in the expenses of the experiment.
The funds for hall hire, manage
ment, advertising, ETC., came out
of their individual pockets. AS they
are workers, and many of them out
of employment, the sacrifice for the
undertaking can be appreciated by
their fellow workers.
AS Oswald Garrison Willard, editor
of The Nation, who made brief
statement following the symphony,
said, "The leaderless orchestra, in
its interesting experiment proved
the possibility of cooperation and
democracy. They were not paid
hands, but musicians who believed
in the cooperative spirit"
Altogether this was the most in
teresting event of the musical sea-
son. The idea of conductorless or
chestra will no doubt bring music
closer to the workers of America, as
it has done abroad. Not only Rus
sia, but Germany, Switzerland and
France has it's leaderless orchestras.
who bring music to the workers at
fraction of the usual cost of the

THE music lovers who were fortu-
A nate enough to secure admission
to crowded Carnegie Hall on Satur-
day night, were treated to thrill
which seldom is the fortune of the
music enthusiast. For the first
time in the history Of musical art
in America an orchestra appeared
and performed without conductor.
The American Symphonic Ensem-
BILE, newly organized group of
talented musicians, following closely
the idea of the nows famous con-
ductorless orchestra of Moscow, the
Persimfans (First Symphonic En-
semble), gave their first concert of
the season-an all-Beethoven pro-
gram-with Max Rosen as soloist.
The experiment proved highly
successful in every way. The pro-
gram offered was not only of major
Importance: the "Eroica" Symphony
the Concerto in D-major and the
"Egmont" Overture, but the per
formance was spirited and played
with understanding by the Ensemble
without the usual conductor.
In its seating arrangement, the
American Symphonic Ensemble fol
lows the plan of it's Moscow con-
temporary. The members are seated
in semi-circle, with the violins
seated with their backs to the audi
ence. In the centre, the space usu-
ally occupied by the conductor, is
seated the concert master, who is
the real leader of the group; in such
position where all the players can
see him and watch for any signals.
Of the performance, the highest
praise can be given here. Many
sceptics in the audience, who no
doubt came to jeer the experiment,
were compelled to join in the enthus-
iastic reception of the others. The
opening passage of the "Eroica"
which opens with a clean attack of
E.flat chords was a masterpiece.
1t was more than brilliant per-
formance. The players gave an

phony which not only showed their
thorough musicianship, but also
proved the possibility to perform

ORGANIZING ALL
WORKING WOMEN
Anita Whitley, Red
Nominee. in Call
By ANITA WHITNEY.
Communist Candidate for Governor
of California;

Woman's entry into industry in
constantly increasing numbers as
we'll as in more varied lines of work
than formerly makes it of the ut
most importance that the Workers
(Communist) Party should make a
special effort to interest and draw
into the Party the women of this
country.
Women work under the double
handicap of belonging to a partial
ly submerged group. Until recently
they had no political expression and
because of the isolation of their
lives in their homes they had no op-
portunity to develop a knowledge of
the value and possibilities of or
ganization.
Now that they have become a fac
tor in industry, they must be shown
the necessity of cooperation and
organization in bettering the condi-
tions under which they live, and
work.
Women as a group, like Negroes
as group, can be and are used to
break down the standard of wages
of the workers as "a whole. With
the improvements in machinery and
technique they can easily replace
men and, in times of strike, as
workers without class consciousness
or organization, they can be effec-
lively used as strikebreakers.
Again no strike can now be won
unless the women, as part of the
industrial world, as we'll as women
home-makers, stand with the work
ing class as an understanding and
solidifying force in the strike move
ment.
Organize and educate the women.
