,nas editOrially that the GastOnia
strikprs who were convicted of
murder for the killing of Chief
# Police AderhOIt in self-defense
Tsre tried for their political be-
Gefs rather than for the action
.necified in the Indictment. The
Tritpr stated that if those who
slaughtered Mrs. Ella Wiggins
we're acquitted there would be no
doubt about it. Since the editori-

murderers of Mrs. Wiggins were

| have just finished reading a
hook called "The Red Web" writ
Ten by a stOOlpigeOn by the name
Of Blair COan... The object of the
tome was to put a pair of white
wings on the notorious DaugheFty,
at one time Attorney ("Strike-
beaker"C General of the United
States. COan had "a tough job
but no doubt he got a piece of
sharge out of it. He goes after
The reds" like a little man and
IN this category he places every
body in the land who believes that
4 WOrkingman should not be sum-
nsrily executed for eating his
breakfast without first asking a
capitalists permission. The fink
selects Burton X. Wheeler for the
principal target Of his venom and
tries to make it appear that the
Montana senator was an agent of
TfOtsky.
While it is true that Wheeler
did a good job on Daugherty in
having Injunction Harry" Ousted,
he Cnly made room for another
tool Of capitalism. Wheeler is
not a radical except in cOmpari-
son with others. Any man who
stands for the capitalist system
i not a radical in the real mean
ng Of the word. Wheeler is a
clever politician and knows the
game as well as any man in the
senate.
It looks as if the country is 60
ng to have another taste of red
batting. According to reports
nom Washington, Blair COan and
others are working in conjunction
With the Burns Detective Agency
On plan 30 shake down the cap
lallsts for a lot of money. The
pan Is, according to information
received from reliable sources. to
Sage red raids thruOut the coun-
ny arrest hundreds of COmmun-

Hogressives to start an investi-
