The Committee of 20.
The affair in the capital was COL
orful and startling. A committee of
20, elected from among the march,
ers, headed by Jack tombstone, sec
rotary of the Trade Union Unity
Council of New York City; Sam
Nesin, secretary of the Councils of
the Unemployed of New York City,
and Fred Biedenkapp, leader Of the
great shoe workers strike two years
ago in Brooklyn, went in Is minutes
ahead of the rest of the marchers
and interviewed Speaker of the As
sembly Joseph A. McGinnies. They
asked the speaker to be allowed to
read the proposals for immediate re-
lief for the unemployed in New York
state. Mechanics refused and soon
after called the assembly to order.
In the Gallery. y
Before this, some 300 of the march
ers had flocked into the gallery of
the assembly chamber, and immedi-
ately raised placards and signs with
the demands of the jobless for weekly
cash relief, for no evictions, for work
or wages, etc.
An atmosphere of tension pre-
vailed. A double force of state troop
ers had been occupying the capitol
building for the last "a hours.
Twenty of them crowded up toward
the jobless in the balcony and others
stood around.
tombstone Speaks.
AS soon as the assembly got down
to business, Johnstone spoke from as
far front in the hall as he could get,
saying: Il represent the unemployed
in this state. They are starving and
propose that this legislature pass a
bill for their relief =. :"
State troopers pounced on John
stone and dragged him bodily out of
the hall. Nesin and Biedenkapp were
treated the same way as soon as they
began to speak and likewise others
of the committee of 20.
The crowd of unemployed and
marchers in the balcony demon
strated against this treatment of the
demands Of the hungry unemployed.
They shouted, Let him speak," and
I'VE want work or wages!"

Immediately the state troopers be-

Groman stated: THE Vorwatts and
the Second International cannot ad-
nit wreckers' work and preparation
for intervention because this must be
carried on secretly from the world
proletariat. The declaration just read
is continuation Of the double book
keeping and secret policies"
Yakobovitch, another defendant
said: "Our arrest dealt heavy blow
to the Menshevik policy ending our
counter-revolutionary activity. This
trial deals a new blow against the
MenshevikS because the group of
fourteen old, underground Social
Democratic functionaries publicity
disavow the Menshevik policy"
Sukhanov said: 'VorWarts is right
in trying to deny the turn in Men
shevik policy. because the Menshevik
tactics was always aiming at wreck
ers' work and intervention"
Similar expressions were made by
other defendants whose declarations
are still being made while this is be-
ing sent to the Daily Worker.
Especial Cable to the Daily Worker
MOSCOW, March g. Berlatsky
continued his testimony in the trial
o fthe Menshevik counter
lists. He confirmed the fact that he
received a letter from Dan, Men
shevik leader in Berlin, to Sher, an
other of the defendants. Dan in
formed Berlatsky that the letter con-
tanned authority for Sher, by the
foreign Menshevik delegation, to act
as representative of the Central Com
mittee for conducting social demo-
cratic work in the Soviet Union.
Sher recalled that he received such
a letter, signed by Dan, in which he
(Sher) was appointed representative
of the foreign delegation Sher add
ed to Berlatsky's statement in that
the social democratic platform of
1924 was approved by the local Men
sheviks in Moscow, namely, the
widening and deepening of the New
Economic Policy. with the view of
furthering capitalist forms of econ
omy and the degeneration of the So
Wet regime, which was the founda-
ton Of the Social Democratic tactics
at that time.
Sher admitted that his practical
work in the State Bank favored in
this sense private capital; and on
direct questioning by Judge Antonov.
Saratovsky, he said he must admit
that weakening work in the Soviet
institutions was the means of Dan
to undermine these Soviet institu-
items, and that it was taken UP and

IMPROVEMENTS
AT CUSTER FIELD
WATER SYSTEM WITH LIGHTING
PLANT is INCLUDED ON THE
NEW PROGRAM

Work planned on many improve
ments at Custer battlefield, is now
under way and at present force of
workmen under Custodian Bolsius are
speeding various projects. Prelimin-
ary steps have already been taken for
installation Of complete electric
light syster. which will include IL
Elimination of the two principal mon
uments, the one on Custer hill and
the one on Reno hill, more than
three miles distant.
An extensive water system has been
planned, the water to be obtained from
the Little Big Horn river or from wells
It is further proposed to lay out extern
sive lawns and plant shrubbery to take
the place of the present semi-arid ma
tural growth.
At present the crew is building a
steel fence to replace the older barbed
wire enclosure around the restricted
national cemetery area.
A concrete road along the full length
|of the historic hills will render easy a
full view of the entire scene of the his
toric tragedy of 1876. This road will
follow about the present course from
the main highway up to Custer monu-
ment. Thence it will take a course along
the crest of that battle ridge, on south
westward across the intervening hills
and gulches to the Reno entrenchment
place and monument, and then be con-
tinued to connect via the present Reno
creek road with the main highway
about four miles up the valley from
the point of beginning of the side road
diversion. 1t is contemplated that the
entire present program of improvement
will be completed before the end of 1882
AS a final touch, a museum of relics
of the battle may be established at some
point along the new concrete hill road
Not long ago an army officer, Major
Adams, visited the place for special in
quiry into this phase of the additional
developments in this national ceme-
tery's growth. He did not make any
clear statement as to the result of his
inquiry, but every indication is that
he will recommend government approx

able governmental financial support

mand were selected by myself with a
view Of obtaining those that by size,
weight and condition were best suited
to move with troops, and TO furnish as
near as possible one days ration to the
whole command from each steer. l also
had in view that heavy cattle lose a
great deal in proportion in marching
than such cattle as 1 sent"
General Miles ordered more cattle to
be sent out. On May 20, Lieutenant
Randall, writing to Lieutenant Douglas,
7th Infantry A. c. S., then in camp on
Rosebud creek, that 'in obedience to
orders of Col N. A. Miles, commanding,
I send you twenty 900 head of beef
cattle in charge of Lieutenant Borden,
5th Infantry, accompanied by de-
tachment of the I'd cavalry. The weight
of the cattle will be ascertained by
weighing six 60 head that will be killed
here for issue to troops here, and the
invoice will be forwarded after the
weight is ascertained by the train now
loaded here for your command"
On the following day Lieut.. Douglas
was informed, with the transmission
of invoices and corresponding receipts
for the 20 head of cattle, that the net
weight of each head was 718 pounds
THE weight of the cattle was ascer-
tained by killing six animals of like
size for issue to troops here and
weighing before issue"
In the fourth and final installment,
the loss of cattle, the difficulties en-
countered in handling the mess sup
plies and miscellaneous incidents in
the work of a commissary subsistence
officer will be detailed.

geant Mark to slaughter the animals at
the cantonment, and the extra pay al
lowed for the work apparently brought
some objections on the part of the
commissary general of the United
States army at Washington, for on
Jan. S, 1877 Lieutenant Randall wrote
to this officer that "the work performed
was we'll worth the pay; no commissary
sergeant could be obtained and under
the circumstances l think it only fair
that Sergeant Mark should be paid. /
therefore ask that you allow the ac-
count to be paid
Almost a month later, on Feb. g. the
commissary general of subsistence at
Washington was again informed, in re-
ply to letter received from that Of
ficer dated Dec. %, 1876, that additional
butchers had been employed. The same
question Of an increased compensation
was raised II would respectfully re-
quest that the amount poid the men
mentioned, Sergeant Kelly and Private
Fisher as butchers, and Sergeant Mark
as clerk, be allowed. Skilled men were
necessary to do the butchering and they
more than saved their pay as they un-
derstood killing cattle and cutting meat
to advantage. Sergeant Mark did the
duty of a commissary sergeant, issued
rations under my direction without re-
gard to hours, worked day and night,
no commiSSary sergeant was present,
and I respectfully request thai the pay
be allowed" The chief commissary OF
subsistence at st. Paul was informed on
Feb. S, 1877, that beef is killed from
day to Gay as needed for use,' and that
it was the best Lieutenant Randall
'ever saw in service; some of the cattle
killed would be taken for stall fed"
Supplying fresh beef to the troops
while stationed at the cantonment was
not a difficult task compared to the
work of sending them out to the troops
in the field. Early in May, 1877 Gen
eral Miles conducted an expedition
against Lame Deer, Indian chief, then
located on the upper waters OF the
Tongue river just inside the southern
boundary line of Montana. In his let
ter directed to First Lieut.. c. W. Baird
5th Infantry, assistant adjutant gen.
eral, Lieutenant Randall wrote on May
6, that II send with the party that
leaves this post tomorrow, the 7th Inst.
fifteen (15) head of beef cattle as di-
rected by the commanding officer The
attention of the commanding officer is
respectfully directed to the fact that
though these cattle are estimated tt
weigh 75O pounds net here, they will not
weigh that on arrival as the loss II
weight will be great. Cattle are no
able to move more than ten (10) mile
day and hold their own in weight.

that you send 1t by first train, as
am writing this on board placed
above two boxes, and my Office papers
are kept in an old hard bread box You
can understand that l need this desk
badly"
Iaboring under the handicap OF no
Office equipment, the commissary officer
was also responsive to his responsibility
of determining the condition OF food
supplies upon their receipt. A few days
previous, on Nov %, he acknowledged
receipt of 180,066 pounds OF potatoes
from Fort Ellis, M. T., which had ar
rived at the cantonment on the 18TH.
They were not in good condition. "They
have been more or less frozen," he
stated. II am unable at this time" he
advised the chief commissary Of sub
sistence at st. Paul, Ito inform you OF
the number of pounds which are in
good order. They are now being sorted
over and the good separated from the
bad, and as each potato requires sep
arate handling it will take ten days to
complete the job. write you now to
take advantage of the mail leaving to-
day. 1t is great source OF regret that
we have been so unfortunate in our
potato operations. hope, if blame at
taches to anyone, that proper measures
will be taken to call them to account.
The money value Of the potatoes is O
mere trifle compared to the inconven-
fence, and maybe suffering that may
ensue from the loss of these potatoes" :"
There was more or less of confusion
incidental to the arrival OF the 5th In
fantry at the mouth of the Tongue
river or Aug. /, 1876. 1t was not until
October 80, that Lieutenant Randall
was able to transmit receipts for sub
sistence stores corresponding with in
voices of Aug 2 and 5, except few
which he enumerated in communica-
ton directed to Maj. M P. Small, G. S.,
u. S. A., Chicago. A board Of survey
had acted on the articles on account Of
shortages. The work of investigation
was continued THE hard bread has
been so mixed up on the road with
consignments from officers serving in
the subsistence department (boxes
bearing your mark),' he wrote, that it
is impossible at present to decide to
whom receipts are due; proper credit
cannot be given until all the hard
bread arrives. Marks on bacon invoiced
from different sources and mixed up
while in transit and not distinguish
able, will be receipted for as soon as
the decision of the board of survey
comes to hand"
Setting up housekeeping for the army
was an arduous task at the canton
ment on Tongue river. The sorting Of
the potatoes, to which reference was
just made, was completed by Dec. 7.
The commiSsary officer found that the
amount invoiced was 180,066 pounds,
but the amount received crossed l62,-
727 pounds, consisting OF 1874 sacks
