MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. g.
One of the means used by the
Wisconsin bourgeoisie to support
the Socialist" party is to adver-
tise in its press. The Milwaukee
Leader, socialist party organ, car
ried for months advertisements OF
the electromagnetic mainly. Like
the Milwaukee Leader ads, which

workers are exploited in this oper
shop at wages as low as $6 g

But the prize ads of all, com.

tried to side-track the issue by
bringing up a proposal for $4,000
for a County soup kitchen and
flop house to "aid" the 10000
single men in Milwaukee County.
The demands of the Unemployed
Council for S1S,OOO,OOO winter re-
lief, abolition of forced labor and
the endorsement of the Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill was shelv-
ed by the committee which refer
red the matter back to the Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors.
Most of the time was devoted
to the question of relief for single
workers who are not receiving any
aid in this County. The Supervis-
ors slandered them and called them
''bums" and "drunkards" as justi-
fication for the brutal treatment
they receive. They claimed that
the Rescue Mission is good enough
for the single men and that the
Transient Bureau takes care OF
them. Speakers from the Unem-
ployment Council pointed out that
these organizations were simply
used to drive the single men out
of town and to break down their
spirit, but the supervisors refused
to take steps to give them relief
The supervisors were told that
this evasion would not stop the
struggle of the unemployed work
ers for relief.

SCANDINAVIAN
CONFERENCE
SCORES WAR MOVE
RESOLUTION CALLS FOR DE-
TENSE OF USSR.

ROCKFORD, Ill.-Scandinavina
workers organizations with 200
delegates at a conference held
here Sunday, Nov. 20 under the
auspices of the Scandinavian
Workers Educational Leagu
adopted an anti-war resolution de-
handing the withdrawal of Japan
csc troops from Manchuria and
calling for the defense of the So
Wet Union.
The resolution points out that
the League of Nations and various
disarmament conferences held by
the imperialist nations are prim-
arlly war instruments and that the
huge expenditures for ornaments
by capitalist nations shows the
imminence of war. GIN order to
establish world peace permanently
we must eliminate the basic causes
breeding war, e. g., the present
system of society and establish a
new system on a cooperative basis,
a workers and farmers society
the resolution says in part.
The resolution further demanded
that the secret war agreements
between the imperialist powers be
published.
Copies of the resolution were
sent to the Chinese and japanese
Ambassadors, to the State De-
partment and to the press.

The pictures of the Five-Year-
Plan in Russia projected on the
screen carry instant conviction,
that the workers and farmers there
are doing wonderful job-that
they are happy, well-housed and
well fed, and their minds develop

Comrade Garlin, the associate

Labor Defense, will spend the hol-
idays in Plentywood, arriving
there the day before Christmas.
He will deliver his lecture at the

Everyone should take advant-

jamestown, N. D., Nov. 12.-(H)--
Scoring its fourth home victory in as
many weeks, jamestown coll & e
trampled over the football team of
Valley City state teachers college to
roll up a AZ to victory Wednesday.
The Jimmies scored twice in the
first eight minutes Of play. A Is
yard run by Schauer capped by an
end sweep by Stone started the
touchdowns parade. Schauer passed
to Watne for the extra point.
Schauer recovered Viking tumble
on the succeeding kickoff. Purdy
rushed across for the second touch
down and Schauer plunged to score
the extra point.
Larratt scored in the second period
when he snagged a pass from Purdy
intended for Schauer but juggled by
Bauman of the Vikings.
A pass, Egstrom to Purdy, brought
another touchdown early in the Sec
ond period, and Egstroln dropkicked
for the 9th point.
Held scoreless in the third period
the Jimmies came back In the fourth
quarter to score three more touch
downs. Hidden scored after the ball
had been brought to the one-yard
line by a series of line plays. Purdy

Schauer intercepted one Of Bas-

to count again. Stone made the total

Alumni and Student Bodies Fail
to Set Up Agitation For
Winning Mentors
HANLEY IS EVANSTON IDOL
Iowa Is Behind Burt lngwerser
Despite Poor Success Of
Hawkeyes

Chicago, Nov. 12.-P-A noisy
note has been strangely missing dur
ing the heat of the Big Ten football
wars this fall and many coaches are
wondering what's wrong with their
sense of hearing.
Not in years has the celebrated
"anvil chorus" the alumni and STU
dent body which campaigns for a
winning coach, been so quiet as this
season. Except for few feeble at
lacks. it appears to have lapsed into
respectful disinterested silence.
With the 1891 campaign swiftly
fading today, only one coach appear
ed to be under fire-Coach Glen
ThistlethWaite of Wisconsin. But
even his supporters were certain of
his rentention in view of the record
of the Badger team, which still had
q good chance to finish in q second
place tie in the championship race.
The attack on the Badger coach
cooled considerably after his Badgers
had upset Purdue, 81 to IA, in one of
the most surprising games Of the
year.
Mild attacks have been started
against Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg of
Chicago and Sam Willaman of Ohio
State but they, too. apparently have
failed.
All the other mentors appeared to
be riding high around the Big Ten
camps. At Minnesota, they're sing
ing praises to Fritz Crisler and many
Gopher hackers are afraid reports Of
his resignation as coach to devote his
abilities solely to the office of athle-
tic diector may be true. Coach E. G.
Hayes, who succeeded Pat Page last
spring. has made q ten strike with
the fiery Hoosier fans and so has

Westerns undefeated Wildcats.
Iowa appears solidly back of Burt

the Hawkeyes.

Dempsey Beats
Omaha Fighter
Manassa MauIer Unable to
Knockout Bearcat Wright,
Giant Negro

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 12.-P-The
string Of knockouts being compiled by
Jack Dempsey, Americas greatest fis-
tic idol in the last decade, floundered
here Wednesday night on the head of
Bearcat Wright, giant Omaha Negro
heavyweight.
True, Dempsey smacked his way to
a referees decision, but the Bearcat,
q champion at the art Of defensive
fighting. gave Jack nothing to shoot
at but shining bald head and that
head absorbed everything that came
its way without quiver.
There was much clinching through
out the. four round bout but Jack was
never able to straighten Bearcat up
out of his crablike defensive stance.
Now and then, Wright made a brief
offensive furry, but at no time was
either fighter in danger Of count,
short or long.
Dempsey drew boos from part of
the crowd Of 5000 while Wright drew
cheers when they left the ring.

lnHockey League
Financial Difficulties Cause
Philadelphia and Ottawa
to Drop Out

New York, Nov. 12.-(R-A long
journey down the ice of the Nation
al Hockey Leagues areas begins to-
night to wind up next spring with the
elimination of only two of the eight
clubs which will compete in the major
hockey circuit this season from the
championship playoffs.
The financial difficulties which
forced Ottawa and Philadelphia to
suspend operations for year has
come as boon to the weaker clubs.
The players from the two imperative
clubs were distributed among the 9TH
ers on rental basis and filled q
few long felt wants. The men still
remain the property of the clubs and
will be recalled II they resume oper-
ationS.
The New York Americans, almost
a great team last year, and the De-
troit Falcons appear greatly strength
ened by these additions and the Mon-
treal Maroons, another club which was
having its troubles, picked up cou-
pie of good defense men to fill the
holes. But not until after the first
guns of the battle are fired tonight In
Montreal, Toronto and Detroit will
the real strength of the teams be
known.
Les Canadiens of Montreal, present
holders Of the Stanley cup and reign
