Tuning In on The Minnesota
Legislature
.::.::...:s..s...:: By SENATOR VIM WEBER s...:s.,

Leach, a fine opportunity for coping
the prize.
Ired by newspaper articles to the eff
feet that University professors were
giving support to the organization OF
Communist Clubs at the University
this writer with Senator Carley, last
Thursday introduced q resolution which
caused no little stir at the State Uni
verSity, and broke the headlines in the
University Daily. The resolution as in
troduced follows:
WHEREAS, the newspapers of St
Paul and Minneapolis have published
items concerning the organization OF
a Communist Party Club at the Uni
verSity of Minnesota, and
WHEREAS, the names of several
members of the University faculty have
been published as having sponsored the
organization of this club of members
of the Communist Party, and,
WHEREAS, these same members of
the University faculty have been and
are now drawing salaries from the State
University which are derived largely
from monies contributed by the tax
payers of the State of Minnesota in
their efforts to support and sustain
the government of the State, and
WHEREAS, the leaders of the Com
muniSt Party in the United States have
frequently and openly avowed it to be
the purpose of the Communist Party
to destroy our present form of govern
ment and this purpose and belief Is
endorsed and subscribed to by all men,
berS of the Communist Party,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE TT RE-
SOLVED, by the Senate of the State of
Minnesota that the Board of Regents
and the President of the University
are requested to Immediately remove
from its staff all those who are men,
bers of the Communist Party or who
have supported it's principles by public
utterance in order that they may be
spared the humiliation of accepting a
livelihood from an institution in which
they have no faith and the University
be purged of employees who seek the
downfall of the government which sus-
tains 1t, and
BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED, that
copies of this resolution be sent to the
Governor and to the President and to
the members of the Board Of Regents
of the University of Minnesota.
The University Daily named five pro-
fessors as being those who gave per-
mission for the organization of such
clubs and carried a statement from
President Coffman to the effect that it
was customary to grant the organization
of any and all clubs to the end that
students might not be hampered in
hearing all sides of all questions.
To one who does not believe it wise
to permit such clubs to gain foothold
at an institution supported by the tax
payers, the great majority of whom do
not desire to see un-American doctrine
preached, President Coffman's state
ment is poor logic. 1t might be just as
we'll to spread virus upon the campus
so that students may experience the
effects of disease and learn if they can
resist them.
1t is well known fact that COM
munism is rampant at the University
and it is high time that halt be
called, whether it is to the pleasure of
the intelligentsia in that institution or
not. Let it continue and there may be
time when appropriations for the in
stitution will be greatly crrtailed.

Many Cancer Deaths Are
Unnecessary, Doctors Say.

CancerouS growths are like incor-
rigibles; they cannot be controlled I'M
less they are entirely removed the
moment they put in their first APP
pearance.
This comparison between cancers and
incorrigibles is presented in a bulletin
issued by the public health education
committee of the Minnesota State Med
ical association today to emphasize the
great need for the campaign to fight
cancer with knowledge conducted by
the Women's Field Army of the Ameri-
can Society for the Control of Cancer.
| When undesirable citizens are al
lowed to establish themselves in the
community, the physicians point out,
they soon reproduce themselves and
then, instead of one, there is colony
Of undesirables to cope with. They can
not be confined successfully to one
place, either, and soon some of them
escape and move off to found new
colonies elsewhere.
Most cancerous growths are like the
undesirables cited. IF they are not
promptly removed they reproduce them
selves and eventually cells are likely to
detach themselves from the parent
colony and scatter through the blood
stream to other parts of the body. The
only way to rid the body of these
growths is TO remove the first growth
completely, either by surgery, radium
or x-rays the moment it appears. Fully
80 per cent of all cancer patients could
be permanently cured, the doctors be-
lieve, if they were properly treated at
the first sign Of trouble.
The problem is to persuade people to
seek help early and that Is the OBJ
| jective of the Women's Field Army
which is carrying on its campaign in
Minnesota this week.
The physicians of Minnesota heartily
endorse the campaign and the Cancer
Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association is acting as adj
visory body to the Field Army in the
hope that, by this means, the tire
mendous number of preventable cancer
deaths can be cut down in Minnesota.

TUBERCULOSIS
SANATORIUM
New Cases of tuberculosis

The executive committee and the
district chairman of the Butler county
tuberculosis sanatorium committee
held regular semi-weekly meeting
at their headquarters in the Rent
schler building in Hamilton, Monday
afternoon.
New plans were made to appeal to
the people of Butler county for the
support of the tuberculosis sanator-
ium bond issue.
Mr.. Joseph w. FIGHTER, Oxford,
county committee chairman, presided
in the absence of Mr.. j. A. B. Lovett,
general chairman.
The committee discussed the tuber-
culosis problem from the rural angle.
Mr.. FIGHTER pointed out that the rural
section Of the county has as much of
tuberculosis problem as the urban,
saying that an average of II people
per year have died from tuberculosis
in the rural sections in the past five
yCol %. liS 10 SOlilpdIGU 10 dU aver
age of Al deaths per year in the cities
The average person believes" said
Mr.. FIGHTER, "that farmers and rural
people are not as susceptible to tuber-
culosis as are city dwellers. However,
this is not entirely true, because the
rural sections of Butler county have
about one-third of the population and
one third of the tuberculosis deaths,
so that the problem is one for the
entire county"
A tuberculosis sanatorium is an as
set in many Ohio communities, the
committee says in it's bulletin. Point
ing to 16 other Ohio counties who
maintain their own sanatariums The
first county sanatorium was establish
ed in 1906 in Cuyahoga county, which
now has over 500 beds. The last
county to provide care was Tuscara-
was with a new sanatorium in 1887
The largest sanatorium in the state
is in Cincinnati, where there are 639
beds.
These 16 counties are progressing
each year in their battle against the
great white plague. While Butler
county, compared to the more pro-
gressive counties is years behind.

BETHLEHEM'S VICI-
LANTES EXPOSED

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Writ-

Allen Grobin tells how the "back to
work movement" was brought about
in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
First, the report was circulated that
if the strikers won, the Cambria mills
would close permanently, and the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation would
make its steel somewhere else. Next,
the Penn Traffic Store, the only de-
partment store in Johnstown, laid off
Is to SO per cent of its clerks on the
day of the strike. Then other stores,
under pressure from the one bank,
stopped all credits. Grobin prints at
length the letter which one store
keeper wrote to one Of his customers.
"On June 15," says Grobin, five
days after the strike broke out, 5
leaders of the vigilantes met with the
two strike leaders, David Watkins
and John w. Stephenson, at the Luth-
eran Church on Vine street. S. H.
Hickman, head of the Penn Traffic
Store, who was one of the organizers
of the vigilante citizens committee,
told Watkins and Stephenson that
The business men Of the Greater
Johnston area will absolutely refuse
to permit the employees Of the Beth
lehem Steel Company to organize and
bargain collectively with their en-
ployer, as such procedure would be
harmful to our business

casualties of this session. The court
bill is being used as an excuse, but the

Bullets and Tear Gas Fell
Many Union Workers
Buck-Shot and Gas Fumes Sweep Over Crowd at Union
Hall Near Plant of Republic Steel

Massillon (ILNS)-Hel has broken
loose in the wake of Tom Glider once
more. A swarm of deputies and po-
lice, using submachine guns and tear
gas bombs, fired into crowd assem-
bled near union headquarters here,
killing two persons and wounding a
dozen more, not counting those dis
abled by the gas.
1t was as wanton and needless an
attack as that in South Chicago, and,
like the other, occurred few hum
dred yards from the gates of Re-
public Steel mill.
Following up their victory" the
police, while the National Guard stood
by, utterly wrecked the headquarters
of the CIO, nearly demolishing the
building, smashing windows and bat
tering in the front wall Also, they
confscated all records, including
union charters.
Fire Without Warning
They asked for it, said Chief of
Police Switzer. "We poured in all we
had on them, and if they want any
more, we'll give it to them!"
Harold j. Ruttenberg, research di-
rector of the SWOC and an eye-wit-
ness, gives this account of the row:
Special deputies, city police and
armed gunmen Of Republic Steel, sew
eral of whom are mill foremen,
opened, without cause, bullet, buck
shot and tear gas fire upon crowd
of strikers and pickets outside union
headquarters in Columbiana Heights.
prior to the first shot, saw and
heard three deputies tell a motorist
to turn his lights off, which he did.
Then | heard deputy say, Let's
bust them up, then | heard shots and
smelled tear gas.
Ruttenberg said the police group
Opened fire without provocation."
Murder Was Planned
Frank Hardesty, also an officer Of
the CIO, telegraphed as follows to
Senator La Toilette, chairman of the
senate civil liberties committee:
"This shooting and murder was
planned and executed as part Of a
premeditated plan to shoot down in
nocent workers to inspire terror in
others. We can supply you with

PUBLIC
Ownership Law Enacted BY
Wisconsin

Madison, Wis. (AFLNS)- Just be-
fore the adjournment of the Wiscon-
sin legislature, Governor Philip F. La
Toilette signed the Little IVA" bill
under the authority Of which Wiscon-
sin is authorized to establish public
power system through the Wisconsin
delevopment authority, non-profit
corporation financed by the state.
Under the terms of the new law the
Wisconsin Development authority, al
ready Incorporated, is authorized to
promote public ownership and opera
ton of utilities and to carry on work
connected with the internal improve
ments which are denied the state by
its constitution.
The terms Of the act also authorize
the w. D. A. to engage in the power
business itself through constructing,
leasing and buying power sites, lines
and dams, which will be paid for by
the corporations own securities.
Limited to Utilities
With only banking, investment and
building and loan business specifically
exempted by the terms of the act, OPP
ponents of the measure charge that
it will be possible for the w. D. A.
to invade practically every field Of
industry. Administrator spokesmen,
however, vigorously denied this ale
cation, and said that the w. D. A.
would not be expanded beyond the
utility field.
The law, carries an initial appro-
priation of $4,000, with an annual
appropriation of 100000 beginning
July 1, 1897
Praised by La Toilette
In a statement commencing the
purposes of the law, Governor La
Toilette said:
wisconsin has always stood for
orderly progress and today again our
state takes another important STEP
forward In the years to come, | pre-
dict that this day will be remembered
as milestone marking the beginning
of a sound and constructive program
that will mean great deal to the
| future prosperity of Wisconsin"

shooting"
Most of the wounded men were in
jured by bullets-police and National
Guard bullets. When the main row
was over, deputies swarmed through
the town, arresting $50 union men
without warrant and clapping them in
jail. Mayor Henry w. Krier has in
structed the police to permit no
further meetings and to disperse all
gatherings. 1t is martial law on the
will of city official.
This is what "back to work.
