"Cculdn't Speak Frankly"
Neither permission to see Torgler
and the other defendants, nor the
opportunity to read the indictment
was obtainable, Teichert told Hays
without authorization from the
High Court at Leipzig"
Realizing that Teicherts role was
not that of an energetic defender,
Hays nevertheless informed the
lawyer that there were number of
Germans in Paris who were eager to
be witnesses for the defense. Hays
said he desired to take their testi-
mony in the form Of deposition, and
asked Teichert if he could give him
amy suggestions.
The attorney assigned to defend
Torgler, Dimitrov and the others had
mo suggestions.
Weary Of Teichert's hedging, Hays
straightforward the American con-
Sul-to get in touch with President
Buenger of the High Court in Leip-
zig. The same evasive tactics were
resorted to by Buenger. Through the
U. S. consul, according to Hays, he
stated that he wished first to CON

that he would not state whether or
not he would see me-"

Hays thereupon addressed formal
communication to the High Court"
in Leipzig. After declaring that he
is an American lawyer admitted to
the bar of the State of New York
and the Supreme Court of the United
States, Hays told of his power Of at

admitted to practice in German
courts" Hays wrote, 81 understand
it will not be possible for me directly
to handle the defense of the accused.
There are ways nevertheless in which
a foreign lawyer may be useful"
Hays thereupon made the follow
ing requests of the Leipzig court:
1. For a copy Of the official charges
against the defendants;
2. Permission to see and confer
with the defendants.
The lawyer further wrote that he
is informed that there is evidence to
be obtained on behalf of the defense
from German refugees in foreign
countries. I request that your court
permit and direct that I have the
opportunity to obtain such evidence
and the assistance of the lawyers as
signed to the defense in connection
with obtaining and properly present.

400 Workers Cheer
WeinStOCk'S Attack
on MIRA. Evils
workers Must Take
Rights" He Says
in Debate

NEW YORK, Aug 1S.-The first
public debate on the N. R. A. in this
city held in Irving Plaza last night
ended in decisive defeat for Presi-
dent Roosevelt'S so-called Industrial
Recovery Act.
About 400 workers, most of them
members of trade unions, applauded
and cheered Louis Weinstock when
he attacked the N. R. A. as depriving
the workers Of their basic rights, and
called on all labor to organize under
militant leadership for compelling the
bosses to improve working conditions.
Lsadore A. Blanche, attorney, who
favored the N. R. A., caused much
laughter among the workers when he
insisted that the N. r. A. puts the
American government and law on the
side of the working class against the
employers.
Weinstock blasted this claim by
citing what happened in the coal
fields and other industrial areas
where striking workers were forced to
return to work under the old condi-
tons by the N. R. A. Board.
Considerable commotion arose when
Blanche declared, GAS long as capt.
talisrn exists the N. R. A. is a safe
guard for the workers. You can't
abolish capitalism, can you?"
The workers answered him in an
uproar, eyes, we can, and we will?"
Weinstock called upon the workers
to demand Federal Unemployment
Insurance, shorter hours, increased
wages. THE only way the working
class can gain it's rights" he declared,
''is by taking them through organized
struggle"
The debate was sponsored by the
A. F. of L. Committee for Unemploy-
ment Insurance, of which Weinstock
is the National Secretary. Max
Boardman presided.

Those of us who believe in the
inevitability and iinminence of the
cooperative commonwealth" notes
the inclusive columnist, have gone
around assuring ourselves that the
individual doesn't matter. Economic
determinism governs the tides of
mankind and leaders come upon the
stage not of their own volition but
according to their cues. The mass
makes the master spirit and not vice
versa"
In point of fact, those of us who
believe in the inevitability and immi-
nence of the cooperative common
wealth have not gone around or even
sat around assuring ourselves of any
such thing. The individual does
matter. Some individuals don't, but
that category includes neither Babe
Ruth nor Haywood Broun.
The theory to which Mr.. Broun
refers is the apparently none too
widespread one which points out
that the individual is social product
and reacts on his environment. THE
mass makes the master spirit" and
vice versa. Babe Ruth not only hasn't
knocked Karl Marx out of the box"
but doesn't even have him bearing
down."

observe, create mythical figures as a

Sports writers are not necessarily
aware of the manner in which they
fit into the scheme. They need have
no trace of sinister intent. To keep
their jobs they have to have some
thing to write about and they pick
on things which they figure will most
effectively strike an audience condi-
toned and prepared by multitude
of factors.
They're not giving the public what
it wants They're giving it some

Ten Commandments
For Hunters.
by III. w. Wack.)

Thou shalt not employ others to
kill they game for thee, or count
game killed by others.
Thou shalt speak to the farm
owner of land in gentle voice and
kindly entreat him to let thee hunt
on his premises, lest he boot thy
north end from his dominion.
Point not thy gun tward any iv-
ing thing thou dost not wish to kill.
Lo, there are fools and idiots wan
dering to and fro on the earth, but
he who fails to observe this rule is
verify the King imbecile.
Shoot not thy gun toward any
cattle, swine, or farm live stock,
within one-fourth mile of thee. If
thou shalt disobey this, the farmer
will jab thy pants with his pitch
fork till thou rOarest for help and
thereafter must eat thy meals stand
ing. =.
Unload thy gun before thou en-
terest thy automobile. Then may
thy days be long and thy funeral
postponed.
Take not thy gun by the muzzle
to draw it toward thee. Verify some
foolish human may love thee and
why shouldst thou die?
Look not into the muzzle of thy
gun whether it be loaded or empty.
Verify an empty gun shOOteth out
an inquiring eye, and the under
taker grOweth rich thereby.
Thou shalt not carry thy gun
cooked. Verify, thou art mighty
hunter, but the hides of thy friends
will not turn shot.
Climb not fences with thy gun
in thy hands. Put thy gun through
first with the muzzle pointing away
from thee and all living things.
Better it is to miss chance at crow
than to return to thy house with
guilt in thy heart and thy friends
hind leg in a basket.
All these rules thou shalt obey
and live past three score and ten.
If thou failest, thou shalt sleep in
thy nice new coffin or in the prison
cell while the mourners go about

A GOOD BARGAIN FOR ALL.

Duluth Herald-In an enlightened
spirit of give and take the Ely city
council and the companies operating
the iron mines in that city made a
bargain this week that is testimonial
to the good judgment and public spirit
of both.
Under its terms the council sue
ceeded in accomplishing two things OF
great Importance to the welfare of its
city and of that of its workers.
BY inducing the Oliver Iron Mining
company and the Pickands-Mather
company to promptly pay the last half
of their current taxes, amounting to
1928, 1856, the reasonableneSs of which
was to be tested in the courts it made
certain that the city's schools and
governmental functions would not be
crippled this winter, because there
would be money in the public treasury
to care for them.
1t also obtained the guarantee that
mining operations would be resumed
within thirty days in the Pioneer,
Zenith and Sibley mines, all of which
have been practically suspended for a
year. This means new monthly pay
roll for Ely of about fifty thousand
dollars and permanent employment for
several hundred men, a development of
significance to the entire range.
In return for these concessions, the
members of the city council agreed to
reduce the tax levy to be made for 1894
to not more than $250,O0O, or about
$4,000 less than they had intended to
levy. The lower figure is based on a
city budget of fifty dollars per capita
which, in the opinion of the council
and many of Ely's responsible business
men, will be ample for all legitimate
requirements.
The councils broad view of the in
equities in Minnesota mining taxes was
voiced in its declaration that valuations
on Ely'S mining property should have
the same consideration as farm and all
other classes of property, and that state
taxing authorities should recognize the
blow dealt to the value of iron prop
critics by the business depression of the
last four years.
From any point of view the settle
ment is timely one, but even more,
it is an encouraging demonstration of
the spirit of mutual concession and
cooperation so ardently desired by
President Roosevelt in his great cam
paign for the return of good times
