ers-are in favor of holding an
election of all former employees,
providing that election can be
held without interference or as
sault by Wier's thugs recruited
from 574, that the claim of the
union gangsters falls rather
fiat. And it is also evident that
one plan, certain of results, has
not been tried. Let me submit it !:
Let the mayor issue instruc-
tons to his police chief that every
Strutwear employee wishing to re-
turn to work be given proper po-
lice protection; that in addition
each male worker be furnished a
baseball bat and each female
worker supplied with one of
those old fashioned hat pins
eight inches of chilled steel set
in a convenient knob of rubber
or concrete; then turn them
loose. The plant would be run
ming full blast within forty split
seconds.
This plan, I admit is somewhat
crude but not more so than that
adopted by Wier and his gang
of skull-crackers in driving these
workers from their jobs on Au-
gust lo, last.
Quite naturally the secret bal
lot plan is the best because, if hon.
estly conducted-ruffians held at
bay or thrown in the bastile at
the first attempt at intimidation
the employees would be able to
declare their preference. If the
majority voted to join Wier's
brigands, the majority would
rule. On the other hand. if the
voted to return to their
former status ot-union'' and
free workers-the Wier gang
would step aside and permit the
plant to reopen. In either event

A gentleman phoned me one
day last week to ask why | took
such an interest in the Flour City
Ornamental Iron company and
practically none at all in the 9th
er companies involved in the
same communist "demonstra-
ton" His was a fair question
and one that [ presume has been
thought by many others, SO here's
my reply:
When the gang swooped down
on the various ornamental iron
companies without warning,
every blessed one of them with
the sole exception of Walter
Tetzlaff of the Flour City, fold
ed up like an accordion and took
their licking like little men,"
There wasn't two ounces of fight
in the entire outfit, but Tetzlaff
was all fight. He didn't desert
his employees when the commu-
nists and radicals and 574 thugs
issued orders. He stood by them
and as result his employees
never z0avered I'm their loyalty to
him. I admire any man with the
courage to do battle for his hon.
est convictions and especially the
employer who will face defeat
and bankruptcy rather than sur
render the rights of his employees.

Roosevelt's recognition of Rus
STA was based on business ex-
changes. The treaty carries a
stipulation that Russia must ex-
ercise its powers and authorities
to prevent the meddling by its
citizens in the internal affairs of
the United States. This provi-
sion was made undoubtedly be-
cause the president realized that
any attempts to spread commu-
nism in the United States was a
violation of Our federal criminal
code, that our courts had estab-
llshed recognition that commit
nlsm designed the overthrow of
the U. S. government by force
and violence, the planning of
which in the u. S. constituted
treason.
Decisions in our federal courts
made previous to the Roosevelt
administration were to the effect
that it was criminal to be a COM
munist in the U. S., and criminal
In the nature of treason the high

to break down the morale of
such workers. No labor terrorism
aVllI ever force these Strut7vear
once-embloyes into a communist
controlled union such as Wier
represents!
But the Strutwear officials
lacked the courage of a Tetzlaff.
They backed away from a fight.
They chose to conduct their "of-
fensive' and "defense' through
expensive advertisements in the
daily press-a press that never
gave the company or the COM
pany's employees a single ''break D
during all these bitter months of
unemployment, assault and strife,
press that has never yet failed
to fold up and desert employers
and employees during crisis.
Tetzlaff carried the fight to the
communists and Tetslaf reopen
ed his blant-and the plants of
other ornamental iron companies
whose owners ran up the white
flag at the first indication of a
fight.
Had Strutwear officials elected
to give battle last August instead
of INDUCING in silly arguments
about ethics and legal rights,
eleven hundred and thirty-three
Strutwear employees would today
be tending their machines instead
of listening to the howl of Lobo
the Wolf of Hunger or cringine

Roosevelt Inconsistencies
Concerning Communism

generally have closed their eyes
to the teachings of communism
by residents of this country. In
fact, they have gone many steps
further than that. They have
actually gone to the extent of
sanctioning it by overt acts.
President Roosevelt PERSONAL
ly selected two of the presidents
of Commonwealth College for
members of his brain trust COM
mission. This college was recent
ly investigated by the Arkansas
legislature with the resultant find
ings that the school was founded
for the purpose of teaching COM
munism and that even such
things as free love, as preached
by communists, was the common
practice of the mixed sex STU
dents, that practice being in
vogue in the school dormitories.
1t has recently developed that
the first lady of the land, Mrs. F.
D. Roosevelt, was instrumental
in securing the allotment of fed
eral monies for the support of a
network of summer communist
schools in the y. S.
1t is equally as criminal for
residents of the u. S. to be COM
munists or to advocate commu-
nism, as for foreigners, like
Strachey, to advocate it within
Our boundaries. 1t is treason un-
der established decisions of our
federal courts and the recogni-
ton of Russia by President
Roosevelt has not had the legal
effect of softening or annulling
the character of those decisions.
The situation resolves itself in
to this:
Roosevelt's personal recogni-
ton of Russia, ostensibly for
trade purposes, has quieted the
Department of Justice against
resident communists despite our
federal criminal code provisions
making them high criminals, and
the president and his wife are ac-
lively sanctioning the spread of
reasonable crime by elevating
communist leaders to the highest
offices of trust and by supplying
federal monies to schools for the
spread of communist teachings.

GRIGWIRE'S ADMIRATION NEW
PIONEERS HOME CONTINUES

That E. F. Grigwires admira-
ton for the new Pioneers Home, to
which he was admitted from
Wrangell last June, continues I'M
abated is evidenced by a letter re-
ceived recently by a Wrangell resi-
dent. Bits of news excerpts follow:
"Of course you know all about
the war ships being in Sitka and
believe me there were some; there
were three cruisers, a mine sweeper
and nine destroyers here at one time
and it sure set the town wild to
have about 1000 blue jackets turned
loose at one time but they were
peaceful crowd and nothing worse
happened than a few black eyes
about equally divided between blue
jackets and the town FOUNDERS.
"The home grounds are getting
pretty we'll finished but now they
are working on two buildings, one
for the superintendent and the 9TH
er for the nurses. Both are being
built of concrete and will add to
the beauty Of the finished grounds.
Governor Troy and his retinue
called to day on the North Sea in
regard to some changes desired by
the superintendent and after a
meeting Of the town officials and
the Governors party they returned
on the same boat to Juneau and no
one knows what 1t was all about
but will learn about it sometime
next week.
Mike Harmalla, a Finn fisher
man from Wrangell, disappeared
from the home on the fifth and
nothing has been seen of him since
although diligent search has been
kept ever since he failed to return.
The general opinion is that he
jumped overheard as he tried to
shoot himself last year over at
Warm Spring bay but only succeed
ed in shooting himself through the
arm. Last week he told John Berg

BEER PARLOR PROPRIETOR
ACQUITTED AT KETCHIKAN

r. H. Copeland, proprietor of the
Shamrock beer parlor in KetehikaR,
was acquitted of the charges of
selling liquor to intoxicated persons
after a jury trial.
Copeland was accused of selling
liquor to intOxieants in six specific
counts, five on the night of August
8 when five persons were arrested
for drunkenness in his establish
and one the following afternoon.
Four witnesses, including Cope
land. took the stand for the defense,
while five witnesses, all officers,
appeared for the prosecution. None
of the six persons arrested for
drunkenness at the Shamrock was
brought into court to testify.
In summing up his case before
the jury, w. c. Stump, assistant
United States attorney, stressed
that part of the territorial liquor
laws which states that the presence
of a drunk in liquor establishment
shall be prima facie evidence that
the proprietor is guilty of selling
liquor to them.
The defendant was represented by
Lester o. Gore who also cited the
territorial liquor law, emphasizing
that part which holds proprietors
responsible if they permit" drink
ing on their premises by intoxicat-
ed persons, contending that the pro-
prietor did not permit" any drink
ing by intoxicated persons
Both the defense and the prose-
cution witnesses testified that but
one of those arrested at the Sham
rock was observed drinking, accord
ing to testimony.

Pedestrians Victims of
Deadly Discrimination
To the Editor Of The Star:

Az the HAisof VI nv osaA'
theoretically, every law-abiding citi-
zen of the United States has exactly the
same rights as any other one. Prac-
Capital of "the. greatest nation on
eartho, citizens who drive automobiles
have rights which are clearly defined
and fully enforced. while citizens who
walk must either wait for the rare oc-
caSiOns when no automobile Is near or
cross the street at the risk of their lives.
We walkers tmost of whose first names
appear to be jay are solemnly admon-
ished to follow the lights and avoid
danger" pardon me If I smileo
once stood on the southeast corner Of
Fourteenth and G streets while the
lights made three complete changes
before the solid stream of right-hand
and left-hand turning autos gave me q
chance to cross. Waiting for one or two
changes of lights is quite common
experience
to an opportunity to cross street with
out being endangered by an automobile
coming from any direction? II not, why
not?
Now, we are told that pedestrians must
pc pTOCSCLcO dSdlIlSt LtlSlilSClNCo, uhio al
threatened with arrests and fines for
walking is, using our COM
mon sense and crossing between inter-
sections instead of at them. Between
intersections traffic moves in only two
directions; at intersections 1t moves
every which way.
How about the loading platforms II
this proposed rule goes into effect? The
platforms on Fourteenth street between
G street and New York avenue are in
the middle of the block, and can only be
reached by crossing part of the street.
Autos pay no attention to people going
to or coming from these platforms. and
I once waited until five street cars which
could have used had gone along before
there was crack that I could jump
through and catch the sixth car.
There are unquestionably more peo-
pie In Washington who walk than drive
autos, but the larger number gets very
much less consideration. except in the
amount of criticism ladled out. We get
more than enough of that. Commits
sioners, traffic officials and traffic cops
all seem vitality interested in the speci-
ally privileged class of auto drivers and
have little, if any, interest in those whom
they contemptuously call "jay-walkers." >"
There will not be that justice and
equality to which all American citizens
are entitled until some plan is adopted
which will give to every one who walks
time and an opportunity to cross a
street without being killed or injured by
an automobile. Actions" says the
proverb, speak louder than words" and
until they have made proper provision
for the safety of pedestrians the traffc
authorities of Washington are continu-
ally proclaiming as their policy, Keep
the auto traffic moving, let the jay
walkers fall as they may"
