On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The scrap now going on be-
tween R. R. Bailey and John
Foley, members of the State
Conservation group would be
funny if it were not so tragic.
Charges and accusations are
being hurled by these men in
the Kabetogama purchase mat
ter at one another to the utter
CONSERVATION of the innocent
bystander. Mr.. Bailey contends
that the U. S. government, in
the interest n d efficiency
should own the Kabetogama
forest and Mr.. Foley sees moth
ing but disaster in the plan.
From this distance it looks very
much as if "Dick" Bailey has
the better of the argument.
Bailey challenged Foley to
prove his assertions or resign
from the commission. The as
sertions were made that Bailey
and members of his family and
company would profit by the
transfer of the state lands to
government control, that the
Bailey interests are the owners
of much tax delinquent land in

Along with feverish moves to-
ward war, we find fascism threat

Denny Tried
For Criminal

GROSS, GOODMAN. oBRIEN
OF lid, ATTORNEYS FOR
PORTLAND WORKER.
By Dawn Lovelace

PORTLAND, Jan. 17-Edward
Denny, leader and organizer OF
the unemployed single men in
their fight against forced labor,
hunger, and hte efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce to make
scabs of them during the mari.
tie strike, went on trial today in
Judge Stapleton's court.
In contrast with the trial OF
Dirk De Jonge, in which the pro-
secution, led by flag.waving
Stanley Larry" Doyle, rose to
heights of hysteria, Denny's trial
is starting off with the prosecu-
ton playing a quiet, deliberate
role.
George G. Graham and Maurice
Tarshis are prosecuting. Three
International Labor Defense at
torneys, Irwin Goodman, Harry
Gross and Clifford O'Brien are
handling the defense.
Examined Jurors
The examination of prospective
jurors is taking the major part of
the first two days. One after an
other, the jury panel members
are questioned, here a woman,
wife of prominent Legionnaire,
and Citizens Emergency League
member, there a member of the
Veterans OF Foreign Wars, de-
claring his opposition to Com
munism, admitting prejudice
against members of the Com
munist Party, yet with the court
and the prosecution making ev-
cry effort to retain him on the
jury.
One member of the panel, a
young girl with a clean-cut per-
sonality and manner of speaking,
admitted scabbing for five days
during the textile strike, but
realized her mistake and quit.
II didn't know much, about
the union then, but as soon as
I found out, I quit" she said.
The patriotic" veteran, out
spoken in his allegiance to the
red-baiting activities of the re-
dictionary veteran leadership, de-
clared his support for the "erad-
ication of radicals" and stated
that it was up to the defense to
prove that the defendant was
not the kind of person to be
"eradicated."

Brewers Delegates
Seated by Pressure
OF Rank and File

SEATTLE, Jan. 1.-THE Brew
cry Workers Union delegates to
the Central Labor Council here
were seated last Wednesday
night after a bitter two-hour
battle.
This successfully eliminated
the fight initiated by the rank
and file a little more than a
month ago.
The previous result of the
Brewery Workers Unions eleven
month struggle to get its dele
gates re-seated was exactly zero.
Two votes were taken: First
on a motion to refer to the
Brewery committee, of which
Charles Doyle, reactionary secre-
tary of the council, is a member,
the matter of seating the Brew
cry Workers delegates. This tied
64-64 and thus was lost.
Then a resolution was passed
by a great majority to re-seat
the Brewery Workers delegates.
The deal to keep out the Brew
cry Workers delegates was so
raw THAT a milk truck driver
(Teamster union affiliated voted
against it, and his action so en-
ragged Beck and Brewster that

lash of Brewster and O'Reilly, is

ter the suppression Of the

followed wholesale wage-cuts,
