When Women Carried Men.

The ruined castle Of Weibertreu, not
far from Heilbroon, was captured in the
twelfth century and the victor planned
to put all the men to the sword, deny
ing the women the plea for their hus--
bands lives. The only favor granted
was that each woman was permitted to
remove from the castle as much Of her
valuable property Is she could carry.
Each woman, therefore crossed the
drawbridge with her husband on her
back.

The wet estimate of liquor expendi-

drink bill the booklet took issue with
the claim that prohibition had increased
productivity of workers, asserting the
report of President Hoover's committee

as guide and it nowhere mentions
prohibition as factor in the increased
output of workingmen."
THE increased output of workers can
be accounted for" the report said, "by
the increased use of power, improved
and similar factors which
are quite outside the control of the in
dividual worker"
Consumption Increased.
The association estimated the per
capita consumption of beer at a little
over one-fourth the pre-war figure. with
wine consumption nearly doubled and
use of spirits about one-tenth higher
than before prohibition. The totals
given were 790,000,000 gallons of beer.

But it soon became clear that it was not a

ment of Republican Party policies as opposed
to the workers in the organization who repre-
sented the Communist Party.
This struggle has developed to such de-
gree that today the reactionary leadership is
taking definite aims to eliminate revolutionary
workers from the organization and thus deprive
the rank and file of working-class leader
ship.
Last year the opposition succeeded in placing
a rank and fl revolutionary worker as editor
of the official organ of the order 1.-THE S. G. W.
1t formerly had been sheet which none cared
to read Under the new editor it attracted the
attention of everyone, causing howl of rage
to come from the reactionary leadership, who
its positio, endangered.
When they saw they could not silence it
with demands of neutrality in the class strug-
gle" they started to publish magazine of the
most counter-revolutionary character They
brushed neutrality" aside, attacked the revo-
iutionary workers and the Communist Party
showing themselves in their true coors.
Under the control of the opposition, the
February issue of the official organ published
the draft of new program, based on new con-
ditions confronting workers. 1t mapped out
the line for an intensified program, founded on
the cl9sq STRUGGLE, and pointed out how we
were ,lne'te to make a successful fight against
the rotten conditions in Society if we followed

the old program. The class lines were squarely
put before the workers.
The new pr gram was published in tebru-
airy, and in Anri' Comrade Wikstrom, the out
standing leader of the opposition, was sus-
pended for year-his 'crime" was making
public the nner activity" of the organization.
The leadership thought by cutting off WIKI
strom they would be able to strangle the oppo-
sition. They put committee over the editor
the purpose of which was to prevent all revo-
utionary material from being published in the
organ But this committee only succeeded in
censuring one issue.
This reactionary clique, being unsuccessful
in its censorship printed a private organ, The
Misunderstanding the dirtiest counter-revo-
lutionist lies about the working class move
ment and the Soviet Union.
1t is not very surprising that in close ALI
ance with fascist Sandberg and the rest of
the counter revoutionary clique we find j. o.
Bentall, the Lovestoneite, openly fighting with
bourgeois leaders against the revolutionary
workers. This renegade, Bentall was engaged
to speak at the New York grand lodges picnic
in Bliss Park on June 90; and he followed the
fascist line OF Sandberg and company, SLAM
dering the Soviet Union and the Communist
Party-the vanguard of the working class
movement.
But Bentall will not be able to fool the
Scandinavian workers. Instead he will prove
by his action that he is on the other side Of
the barricade, fighting side by side with those
hangmen who are against the workers and the
revolutionary movement. It is up to the class
conscious elements to prevent such vermin
from spreading their counter-revolutona
propaganda and to give them the only recep
ton they deserve when they dare stick their
noses into working-class gathering
The most pressing danger at the present
time is tendency to lag behind in our activi-
ties, giving the reactionary clique time to con-
soldate its forces The overwhelming major

over to the revolutionary line and with in
