BY A. c. H.

TO give a basis for judging the
value of my opinions, will state
that I am comparatively new in the
movement-six months in the T. u.
U. l.. and three months in the Par
ty. My work thus far has been to
assist in building a local of the Ma
tlonal Railroad Industrial League
where I am employed. Also have
oeen working with the National Of
flee of the R.R. League to further
organization on the railroads in
general.
The Party seems fully aware of
the Importance of trade union work
in heavy industry. The Party reso-
lutions and literature stress this
point and there is apparently a
real effort being made to transfer
the 14th Plenum Resolution on this
point into concrete action. And
yet the actual accomplishments fall
far short of the possibilities.
WHERE PARTY FAILS
| have already observed many in
stances of failure of Party members
who are or who have been employ
ed on the railroads to get in touch
with the NRIL. I understand this
condition exists in all the TUUL
sections, which are hampered in
their activities by lack of forces
Often these forces are at hand
members who are particularly fitted
for trade union work, but who are
engaged in general Party work.
For example, laid,-off member of
railroad electricians lodge with
many contacts in the terminal
where he formerly worked-a cap
able organizer with trade union ex-
perience in the Miners Union of
Great Britain. Has been nine
months in the Party, doing Unem-
ployed Council and Open Forum
work, but until month ago Meth
er he nor the NRIL knew of the
existence of the other. Another
case-an ex-"boomer" sWitchman
with contacts in many yards-Par-
ty member for several months
contacted by accident at nom
Party railroad meeting. He has
been exceptionally active in uneln-
ployed work and will apparently be

v.
nEBS was an uncompromising OPP
~ ponent of capitalist wars and as
such he was indicted in 1918. AL
though he knew the economic
causes of wars, he did not fully
comprehend the nature of mod
ern Imperialism. Unlike Ruthenberg
who understood the role of Am
erican imperialism and was among
the first to be imprisoned during
the war, Debs was guided in his
anti-war stand mainly by his 10y
atty to the principle of interna-
tional solidarity Of Socialism. He
denounced the European Socialists
who turned social patriots, and with
the Socialists who voted war credits
he wrote: IF I were in Congress
I would be shot before I would
vote a dollar for such a war.
DEBS FOR THE WAR
OF SOCIAL REVOLUTION
Some of Debs' utterances betray
pacifist notions and repugnance to
violence. When I think of a cold,
glittering, steel bayonet being
plunged into the white, quivering
flesh of a human being, I recoil
with horror" he declared in his
Canton speech. We find sufficient
proof, however, that Debs was not
opposed to war in general, but only
to capitalist wars.
In 1915, when America began to
prepare for war, Debs wrote an
article for an Preparedness
issue OF the Appeal to Reason in
which he derided those who would
enlist in the army. There were
many expressions in that article
which did not harmonic with his
known convictions. He was. how
ever, accused of harboring pacifist
illusions. In a reply in another
issue of the paper Debs came back
with a declaration of his position
which should cause his self
appointed successor. Norman Tho
mas, to renounce his memory
toreverl mo. j am not opposed to
all wars. nor am I opposed to fight
ing under all circumstances, and
any declaration to the contrary
would disqualify me AS revolu-
ZIONIST" bold nine--A. To This
was a statement dictated by Debs'
revolutionary class consciousness.
Debs reiterated that he was only
opposed to ruling class war" and
that he refused Ito obey any COM

HOPPER CROP
IN 1892 SEEN
AS BIG MENACE
Entomoiogist Says Only Cold
And Wet Weather Can Stop
Huge Hatch

Infestations of grasshoppers suffi-
cient to change the face of nature by
turning luxuriantly growing fields in
to deserts" are foreseen in 1882 by
A. G. Ruggles, Minnesota state ento-
mologist.
In his report to the state depart
ment of agriculture, Mr.. Ruggles says
the potential grasshoppers crop for
next year is now in the soil in the egg
stage.
"The only thing that can save us
from devasting boards of these pests
in 1882" he says, sis cold and wet
May and June. Even if we have
weather conditions, the Canadian ex-
pert in this field, Norman Criddue,
asserts that we in Minnesota are
bound to have an excessive number of
these insects"
Matching Conditions Good
In survey recently completed by
federal and state entomologists the
eggs of the hoppers were found to be
in perfect condition for Matching next
spring, even though deep snow had to
be shoveled off the egg beds and the
frozen soil broken with pickax.
Minnesota must be prepared to
meet the emergency" warns the
states entomologist. Poisoned bait
must be on hand in sufficient quanti-
ties to protect at least 1,394,581 acres
of grasshopper-infested crop land in
1882. Applications of this bait must
be started by the middle of June at
the latest. Unless nature intervenes
in behalf of the farmers in the infest-
ed areas, $15O,OOO will be needed to
prevent a calamitous grasshopper
plague in Minnesota. The farmers in
che badly infested territory have no
funds with which to buy poison; gov
eminent agencies must help them"
5000 to Square Foot
- Field studies Of the scientists re-
vealed that in places of the infested
northwest area there are 20 to $50
egg packets or pods to the square
foot. Every pod contains 20 to 70
eggs. If all these eggs hatch next
May or June it will mean anywhere
from 1000 to $500 young grasshop-
pers per square foot. The eggs were
laid for the most part along the bord-
ers of fields, by roadsides, on ditch
banks and railroad rights of way, and
in waste land and pastures. Only
a comparatively small number are
can be disposed of by cultivation The
laid in loose soil in fields and these
infestation next year will start,
therefore, on the edges of fields and
progress into and over the crops as
the season goes on, Mr. Ruggles said.

Wards Reduce Prices
Throughout System

A general reduction in selling
prices throughout all Montgomery
Ward & Co. stores, totaling $5,000,-
600, has just been completed, accord
ing to R. E. Anderson, local manager.
This step, one of the most momentous
in American retailing, has resulted in
a general lowering of prices from 10
percent to as much as so per cent be-
low the peak prices of 1881.
George B. Everritt, president of
Montgomery Ward & Co., said in a
statement to the press There are
about 123,OO0,0O0 people in America
to be supplied with the necessities Of
life. This job will go to the mer-
chants who are in position to offer
the greatest values, and who have the
courage to make liberal use of print
er's ink in letting the public know
about them. Last year we spent ap-
proximately $4,5OO,OOO on newspaper
advertising alone. Without attempt
ing an forecast as to the future out
look for business, we look for re-
vival of good old fashioned bargain
hunting. The drastic price conces-
sions we are making, and our recent
advertising plans for 1882, reflect our
confidence in the future"
In line with this new policy, all
prices at the Redwood Falls store
have been reduced to the new 1882
rock bottom prices, even on the
newly arrived shipments of Spring
erchandise.-Adv.
