Defy Sheriff; Put
Back EViCted Farmer
By AARNE PISILA

KELSO, Wn., July 12.-The
farmers and workers of Cow
IIitz County have placed an
Ievictcd farmer back on his farm
for the first time in the history
of this locality.
Joe FOrs, IA farmer living nine
miles from Longview, Willow
Grove district, had his farm fore
IclOsed and the eviction was sup
posed to take place July 3. Fors
had paid over $4,000 on his place
besides the taxes and mainten-
Iancc. He had lived on the place
for seven years.
On the day of the scheduled
eviction the farmers from
around Kelso, LOngview and
kalama, together with several
trucklOads Of workers from
KeIso, modified at the Joe Fors
farm; about a total of seventy
five people. A committee was
selected to visit Judge Stone to
demand ways and means of
keeping Mr.. FOrs on his farm.
But the Judge laughed it off
and said that he could do
nothing. Late in the afternoon
the farmers and workers went
back to their homes.
Evict Secretly
The next morning while Joe
FOrs and family were all in town,
the brave" sheriff, together
with his hirelings and the assist
ance of the Martin Transfer
Company, went to the FOrs
farm and moved all the farm
implements and cattle onto the
County road. The cattle were
driven on the road on which
there is a herd law and no one
was left to watch them. And
they used FOrs' tractor, which
had no water in the radiator,
and which they had no right to
use, to haul the farm imple-
mcnts off the place. No Tres
passing" signs were tackled up
all over the place signed by
J. H&lstead, who is supposed to
be the new owner.
The workers and farmers
heard what was going on so
they started to mobilize again.
Arriving too late at the Fors
farm to stop the eviction
meeting was held and it was
unanimously decided to place
the implements back in their
places. And this was done. Soon
the farm looked the same as
ever, and Mr.. Fors proceeded
to milk his cows. The No Tres
passing" signs had magically
disappeared.

ORGANIZED PRESSURE ON
COUNTY DOCTOR FORCES
CARE FOR SWANSON

PORTLAND, Ore Portland
unemployed workers are eonvin-
ced that mimeographed leaflets
bring results. At least a leaflet
issued by the Rose City local of
the Civic Emergency Federation
has created u miniature earth
quake here. Faced by a reItis-
al of medical authorities to take
any action whatsoever in the
case of Robert Swanson, 7. h.
sufferer, the local issued a leaf
let accusing the county physi-
clans office of the murder and
calling upon the public to rally
to the support of the unem-
ployed in their fight to save the
dying youth. Two hours after
the leaflct was ON the street, the
head physician, Doctor Clilf, was
at the Swanson home wringing
his hands and weeping crocodile
tears over the bed-ridden pat
lent.

In his hand he had a copy OF the
lcaflet which was prOiusely illus
trated with sketches of skulls
and cross bones during one
day last week, by the doctors
own admission, over fifty people
called upon him to demand an
answer to the charges set forth
in the leaflet.
Due to the leaflet the Swan
sens received a two dollar in
crease in their grocery order, ice
and other medical necessities
for the patient. Il daily order for
three quarts of milk, and num-
erOus other necessities.
Before the leaflet had been
issued Doctor Cliff, although in
formed that Robert Swanson
was coughing and splitting blood
refused to come to the home.

FLASHES
From Oregon
By Kenneth Fitzgerald

After several months of slow
decline, the unemployed move
ment in Portland is beginning
to look up.
The trend toward the bottom
was one that owed its origin to
many causes, chief of which was
! the well organized disruption
which took place in the ranks
of the Civic Emergency Fedora
ton, some months ago. This
disruption. resulting in an org
anizatiOnal split, was brought
about by the wholesale dissem-
ination of the red scare on
the part of local authorities who
had quite effectively planted
their henchmen in the fedora
ton.
Every effort indicative OF the
trend towards FGscism was
brought into play in this sig
nifigant and wide spread cont
roversy. Paid agents of the
state were everywhere in evil
dence, the leaders of the Social
list Party lived up to their hist
Oric role as opponents OF work,
ing class unity, and OppOrtun-
lists of every description rushed
into the organization to seize
whatever booty was available,
The ultimate split was not ac-
CidPntal. 1t was well planned,
well financed.
The fight was started by a
campaign to exclude from the
CEF all Communists and Com
munist sympafhiZerS". r. is
generalization, of course, cover
ed a multitude of sins and any
one unfortunate enough to eX,
press a desire for unity of all
working class elements was i'm
mediately castigated as a Com
muniSt SympathiZer and booted
out of the federation.
The writer, himself former
member of the Socialist Party
and two years ago a candidate
for state office on the Socialist
ticket, had the extreme pleasure
of being excluded from two Soc,
ialiSt Party controlled locals
The chief crimes of which he was
alleged guilty were communist
sympathics and conduct unbe,
coming a gentlemen" These
crimes were committed by de.
manding that the proposed ac,
ton be submitted to the mem
bership for a referendum vote
and, as a minority member OF
the bureaucratic executive com.

such referendum.

Verdict Returned ~
Against Hospital
Case Was Started Over Death of
Man in Waseca County
Hospital

A $4,000 verdict returned in Wa
SEGA county against the Williams
Sanitorium Inc. and DR.. Boyd T. Will
Iiams, of Hudson, Wisconsin, the own
er, for the death of Arthur Brase of
Meriden was affirmed recently by the
Minnesota supreme court, says the
Waseca Journal. The action was COM
menced by the Arthur Brase estate
and verdict of $4,000 was secured in
district court at Waseca. Carl E..
Brase, executor of the estate of Ar
thur Brase, brought the suit.
Brase, who entered the hospital for
treatment of small cancer on his
lip, became slightly delirious a few
days later after seemingly being in
normal health and was found No.
vember Is, 1882, partly dressed at
tempting to get out onto the porch Of
the hospital.
The nurse returned him to bed and
after he became highly excited, the
nurses attending him said it was ne
cessary to apply restraints by fasten-
ing the ankles, strapping the arms to
the side of the bed and Handwriting
one arm.
DR.. Williams, according to the
court testimony, was in Minneapolis
at the time, and after being informed
of the patients condition, advised the
nurse to use restraints and to admin
lister a hypodermic of strychnine.
Two such hypodermics were given
Brase, and he died the morning of
November 16, after trying to free
himself. The high court refused the
sanitorium and DR.. Williams new
trial. 1t also held that DR.. Williams
practiced medicine in Minnesota, at
one time, without a license.
Two doctors testified that death was
caused by exhaustion due to over
exertion. Evidenced by the longest
ed condition of the lungs and that in
cases OF patients in an excitable or
delirious condition, the administration
of strychnine, stimulant was impro-
per and that a sedative should have
been administered.
DR.. Williams testified the use of
the restraints was not improper in
such a case and that the cause of
death was not exhaustion.
The evidence, however, was suffc-
lent to sustain finding that the
treatment administered was not pro-
per practice and caused Brase's
death.
