What? Anarchists
and HighbrOws?

Just when we were on point of saying some
thing cruel about the New Republic or the Rev.
Music, or even Roger Baldwin, for their limit
less crust in telling workers that they must be
pacifists and not hurt the poor capitalists nor
ever dare to slap cop in spite of all provoca-
ton, we picked up the comparatively unknown
paper (the Fish Committee would call it a
secret" publication. gotten out by the real,
genuine, Sure-enough anarchists
Those fellows who believe in the propaganda
of the deed" very rarely have nerve enough to
do such propaganda, except in such cases as
when they shot two Communist miners in Penn
sylvania last Augusta
We picked this little paper up which breathes
fire and blood and fertilizer, and discovered.
yes, sir; we discovered that testimonial dinner
to Alexander Berkman, the chap who at least
tried to shoot capitalist, Mr. Prick is to be
attended by none other than the most sanctified
upholders of pacifst means against bosses-not
workers..
Among them are two editors of the New Re-
public, Lovett and Lindeman Then we have
the old skinfint social fascist, Rev. Music who
tells the Danville strikers to not touch hair of
the bosses heads while he is memorializing an
anarchist who shot boss with malice afore-
thought and unlucky) a mere % revolver.
Then we have Saposs and Golden of Brookwood.
and unser teerer und beliebter Morris Hillquit
besides the sweet little butterfly of imaginary
civil liberties, Roger Baldwin.
Well! Can these deceitful cusses be using
this means to make up, in cheap and unsatis-
factory way, for condemning the Gastonia VIC
tins?
Or, whist Maybe they're assisting them
anarchists to make bombs according to old
Johan Most's anarchist cookbook"
But, shucks, after all, maybe they're only get
ting together to assure each other that the Com
munsts are wretched and impairment fellows
who have no respect for gentlemen who prefer
bonds"

the March 9th demonstration The socialist
Jew York New Leader in its March 18th issue
declared that "the police department is not

Wherever this matter was discussed the same
answer was I'VE are not to blame" and ut is

letter was sent to the Milwaukee Journal
requesting information as to who controlled the
police department. Their reply stated that the
chief Of police was appointed by the police and
fire commissioners who were themselves appoint

lie.
But this was not all. OF the workers arrested,
twenty-four were charged with rioting: they
were sentenced to from one month to six months.
Fifteen others were charged with vagrancy The
trial of the first three resulted in the cases be-

requested that the vagrancy charges be with
drawn and charges of rioting be substituted.

responsibility.

socialists do the dirty work OF their capitalist
masters.

" Unemployment Relief was broken up on

Mass Unemployment in Buffalo. ST..
The economic crisis that grips the whole of
the United States effects the state of New York
and Buffalo just as well as any other city or
state in the Union.
According to the Industrial Bulletin of the
State Labor Department, in the month of Aug
uSt, 1929, 59,421 workers were employed by the
manufacturing establishments while in the same
month of 1880 only 1865 workers were working.
This is a difference of 11,756. If we take into
consideration the usual juggling with figures,
especially if it is question of the number of
unemployed workers, of the bourgeois statisti-
clans, if we add to this number the Marine
workers who became unemployed due to the stop
page of shipping on the lakes, if we add to all
this the number of unemployed workers from
the commercial establishments and those who
were engaged during the summer months on
farms and drifted back to the city, then we get
the actual number of unemployed in the city of
Buffalo, which is not less than $4,000. Buffalo
steel and iron industries. These industries were
hit the hardest in the crisis.
Communist Party Leads Jobess.
Like everywhere else in the United States,
only the Communist Party is organizing and
leading the thousands of unemployed workers to
give immediate unemployment relief So in the
city of Buffalo, during the Election Campaign,
the Communist Party put a specific emphasis
upon the mobilization and organization of the
unemployed workers. The Party with the CO.
operation of the T.U.U.L., mobilizing the workers
for an unemployment demonstration on the 25th
of october. and planned to stage monster
demonstration for the Communist candidate for
Governor. Comrade William z. Foster, for the
next day.
Police Force Is Modified
The demonstration was advertised to take place
at o'clock but the police force of the city &C.
cupied the whole territory full hour ahead of
time One hundred fifty cops, IS on horse, so
motorcycle cops, and hundreds of plain clothes
men, were all modified and the whole territory
looked like as it was in state of siege.
The workers who came to the demonstration
in twos and three's were chased away for blocks.
The smallest gatherings were Immediately broken

up and when o'clock, the leaders of the DEM
onstration wanted to speak, after they pro-
nounced few words were jumped upon and
arrested.
"Victory" For the Ruling Class
The mass mobilization of all the police and
detective force of the city of Buffalo to crush
the unemployed demonstration is an unnistak-
able sign of the fear on the part of the ruling
class of this city, of the growing militancy of
the workers of Buffalo, of the growing influence
of the Communist Party, and of the tremendous
revolutionary possibilities that might be de-
veloped through organization and in the present
favorable, objective situation The fact of the
matter of the unemployment demonstration was
made impossible only through this 100 per cent
mobilization shows that if the unemployed work
ers of Buffalo will organize themselves and stage
great demonstrations in the different parts of
the city at the same time and march from the
different parts towards the central concentration
point the whole police force of the city will be
insufficient and incapable to deal with this ire
mendous army After the victory" of the police,
they were not satisfied with the breaking up of
the demonstration but proceeded to raid the
Headquarters of the Communist Party
The Arrested Charged With Drunkenness.
The fact that the authorities, after consulting,
placed among other charges, the charge of being
drunk, against those being arrested. The fact
that Mayor Roesch, was obliged to make pub
lie statement to the effect that the raid was
made and the arrests took place not because the
arrested are Communists, but because they were
disorderly, shows the desire of the bosses to
minimize the Importance of the raid and to push
aside its political contents. They successful
to such a degree in this vancouver that even
of the comrades expressed the opinion
that the whole case is trifle matter and we
should try to make one postponement after an
other in order to make the judge tired Of the
case, so that he shall throw out the case"
This is an absolutely wrong attitude to take
and the Party must realize the full political
significance Of the raid and endeavor to convince
not only the Party members but also the I'M
employed and exploited workers of Buffalo that
this raid was engaged in against the Party not
because those in the hall were disorderly but be-
cause the Communists in Buffalo are the only
ones who are leading the unemployed workers
for Unemployment Insurance, higher wages,
shorter hours, for full social, political and
omic equality for the Negroes. Therefore it is
wrong to follow the policy of postponing the
and try to make out of it small technical
case.

For a Real Strike in Illinois

THE miners of Illinois are mobilizing their forces
i and fighting. number of strikes have broken
out in many parts of the state against worsen-
ing conditions, lay offs, wage cuts. At present
there is strike in the O'Gara No 3 mine in
Harrisburg against additional layoffs. In Old
Ben No. and No. IA and in Orient No.
miners fight against speed up by putting the
mine into SLOW motion" These the first
steps in the struggle of the miners to maintain
their living condtionss.
New Traitors.
The miners in years of struggle have learned
the bitter true lesson that Lewis, Fishwick,
Howatt harrington ETC., are their worse enemies
and they are losing all faith in thsi bunch of
traitors; so traitors arise to try to fool the
miners. Such are Murray and "Boxcar' Jen-
kns petty takers, ex-officials of the UMW.A.,
utilizing the discomfort and readiness of the
miners to struggle and attempt to lead them into
submission to the bosses.
One of the latest maneuvers Of these new
takers is the issuance of so-called strike call"
for November u.s. They are calling only on
miners in mechanical mines to strike; telling
the miners in hand loading mines to stay at
work and support the strike by giving as high
as two-thirds of their. wages This is only
gesture by the takers under the pressure of the
rank and file miners and not a preparation for
strike. Murray and jenkins have no inten-
ton of leading the miners in struggle. This
method of calling a strike is simply playing into
the hands of the bosses.
Union for ALL
What the miners want is strike to embrace
both the mechanizeje and hand loading mines.
These takers are calling the strike on the issue
of taking out the machines This is ridiculous
issue. The fight must be concentrated against
the coal OPERATORS and their tools in the United
Mine Workers of America When machinery is
introduced in the mines, the miners must strug-
gle, under the leadership of their own mine
committee, for shortened working hours at a full
week wages; and against the speed up of the
machine by instituting regular rest periods.
Mine Committees!
The Mine, Oil and Shelter Workers Industrial
Union calls on all miners to form their mine
committees, unite every miner who is ready to
fight and strike against wage cuts and speed
up, pay for all dead work, Is minutes rest period
in every hour on all machines, man for each
job, minimum wage of s35 week, for the
six hour day and five day week and for workers
unemployment insurance. The miners should
build their own organs of struggle, and affiliate
with the MO.SWIU., build their own unem-
ployed councils, and carry on their own fight.

O, Justice!

From the columns of the company-unionized
1L.G.W.'s paper that goes under the name of
Justice" we extract this tidbit from the article
by Dr. B. Hoffman who, being doctor" and
not worker naturally was elected to attend
the A. F. of L, Convention as a union delegate.
In the middle of his article, Dock Hoffman gets
this off:
Il like to hear President Green speak. He has
sweet, pleasant voice, and he speaks with heart.
In the debate over unemployment insurance he
spoke very warmly feengly and sincerely"
Naturally the Doctor was so seduced by
Green's voice that he forgot to notice that Green
opposed Unemployment Insurance or rather
having noticed it, the Dock was too overcome by
Green's eloquence to raise a row But then he
explains all the useessness of doing ANYTHING
there in the line of speaking. He says
Whether talking does any good there is, Of
course, another story

GIVES
HIS LAND VIEWS

Washington, Jan. 21.-Governor
Erickson of Montana discussed
the land problems with President
Hoover today, paying particular
attention to the work of the Gar
field commission. now making an
exhaustive study of a proposal to
turn the public lands over to
public land states.
Erickson was accompanied by
Representative Leavitt of Mon
tana.
After the conference Erickson
said general sentiment in Montana
was favorable to the Presidents
proposal to turn the public lands
over to the state, but that senti-
ment probably would not be crys-
talized until after the Garfield
commission completed it's study.
The house now is considering a
to provide funds for the
commission, Mr.. Leavitt said. He
expected the bill to be reported
tomorrow.

NORTHERN MONT.
STOCKMEN'S ASSN.

A meeting of the executive com.
mittee and any other interested
members or stockmen is hereby
called for January 10Th, 1880, to
be held at Malta, Montana.
The primary object of the meet
ing is to arrive at a settlement
in regard to claims which have
been made for our advertised re-
ward. Among other things which
may come up of interest to the
association will be a discussion Of
the following subjects:
Ffrst-General welfare of the as
ISOLATION, necessity of a larger
membership, current business and
the selection OF a date and place
for the annual meeting for 1880.
Second-The possibility of affil-
iating with other stockmen of the
state in presenting to the Federal
Farm board or it's duly accredited
agents, the needs of northern
Montana stockmen, with a view
of securing such aid and coopera-
ton from the board as will enable
us to feed here in Montana a larg-
err number of our marketable live
The theory has been advanced
that the stockmen of Montana, il
adequately financed, could furnish
a market for larger quantities of
feed grown upon our federal and
private irrigation projects and for
vast quantities of Montana grains,
.hus furnishing to the grain grow
ers of the state a market for
product, which would tend to
the regular market of a
certain amount Of the usual sur
plus.
1t is the intention Of the presi-
lent and secretary of the associa-
ion to bring these matters up
or consideration at this meeting,
With a view of appointing a com
nittee to work with other live
took associations and grain grow
rs in formulating a definite pro-
ram for the betterment of Mon
ana agriculture, to be presented
through the State Department of
agriculture or other proper agen-
y to the Federal Farm board
or their consideration. g.,

FORGERY CHARGE
AGAINST AGENT
CLEVER FORGERY GAME AT
FROID PUZZLES COUNTY
OFFICIALS

A man giving the name of ]. T
Wyard is in the county Jail on a
charge of forgery preferred by
by Neils Jensen. Wyard was Civ
en- a hearing before Justice w. G..
Reiter of Froid on the 21st. The
case has some peculiar features
and county attorney Foor is do
ing his best to untangle the mat
ter and establish Wyard's guilt
if he is guilty. Wyard is supposed
to belong at Williston and, it is
stated, is also wanted there. Mr..
Foor is there this week making
an effort to gather facts.
An Odd Game
The circumstances, as brought
out at the hearing before Justice
Reiter, January 81, all point to-
ward Wyard being the person
wanted, but positive proof is still
lacking. A man came to the bank
at Froid and presented a check
made out to w. j. Burt for 5000,
signed by Neils Jensen. In pay
ment of the check he took a draft
in favor of w. ]. Burt for 5000
the other ten cents going to pay
the exchange. The young lady
teller of the bank could not pos
itively identify Wyard as the man
who presented the check, but
said he was of the same build and
age. Previous to this time Wyard
had been at Neils Jensen's farm
near Froid as an agent for maya
lines, and was given a check by
Mr.. Jensen for $500. Jensen swore
hat he knew no such man as W.
T. Burt and had not written a
check for 5000. Wyard swore
hat he had never been in Froid
Until the day of the hearing. 1t
s stated that the forgery is a
ather clever one but still consid-
rably different from Neils Jen-
ems own writing.
