short -sleeved sweater, buttoned-

called special meeting for
Tuesday night, July 10th, to take
care of this case. The farmers de-
cided to not only protest the
foreclosure but to prevent it.
They decided to demand new
contract, and they, themselves
to dictate the terms of the new
contract.
First, they demanded that the
suit to foreclosure now pending,
be imediately withdrawn, and
that an entirely new contract be
drawn.
Second. that all unpaid interest
be cancelled.
Third, that a plot of the land
certified by a licensed civil en-
gineer be furneshed by the seller
so as to determine exact num-
Der of acres and thereby obtain
the total purchase price.
Fourth. that there be no pay
mentS either of interest or prin-
cipal until June, 1885. And then

of % per cent as heretofore.
Fifth, that the number of COWS
to be kept on the place be at the
decision of the farmer himself as
he knows how many COWS the
place will support. Land sellers
like to get the farmer to agree
to keep more COWS than the farm
will support so as to get the
farmer in debt for interest and
feed and then fOreclOse.)
Farmers Will Dictate

An Impartial Board

We note that the President
has set up an impartial (?)
board to deal with the long
shore strike.
How is it possible to get a
board that is fair to both sides
when their interests are so diff
ferent.
Where is the lOngshOremen's
representative? One preacher,
one lawyer and one government
man. 1t looks more like a
United Front of capital, if you
ask me. If they had any in
tentiOn of giving the longshOre-
men a fair deal, it looks like
they should have someone to
represent them.
Winding up an article en-
titled Brains or Bullets" on
the editorial page of the Port
land Journal of June Is it
says:
When could there ever be
more profitable time to use
brains instead of bullets, and
reason instead of clubs?"
Well, who uses clubs and
bullets? Does not the police
use these things along with
tear gas? While it may be
true that in some eases the
strikers have beat up scabs,
most of the violence comes
from the officers of the law
themselves and they are AL
WAYS the ones to start the
trouble, either through their
agents in the ranks of the
strikers or by direct attack on
the workers.
If testing out gas on limo
cent people is a display of
brains, | for one fail to see it.
Perhaps | don't know just
what brains are.
The capitalist press bowls
about the big loss to them
selves and the dear public, but
do not say anything about the
loss to the lOngshOremen and
their families.
They ought to have the i'm
partial board spend about six
teen or eighteen hours in the
hold of a ship with a good
tough mate on their neckS.
Maybe they would know some
thing about why the lOngshOre-
men are out on strike.
If they want to settle the
strike why don't they make
the ship owners and the steve
dore companies settle with the
longshOremen and grant them
their just demands?
Workers should read a work
ers' paper for working class
news.

Next Hitler claimed that
Communism is a hereditary

was practiced. Still Communism
