ANARCHIST, DEN0UN(ER
OF B0LSHEvI5M, dies

TORONTO, MAY "A. - Emma
Goldman, internationally known
anarchist, aged TO- died at her
home here following an illness OF
several months. She had a stroke
last February but was believed to
be recovering. AS a philosophical
anarchist, she became known as
Red Emma" on both sides OF the
Atlantic because of her constant
teaching of social revolution.
She always denied that she adj
vocated violence, but from the
time of the Chicago Haymarket
bombings on May Day, 1885, until
the United States entered the World
War in April, 1917, her name was
linked, directly or indirectly, With
almost every major instance Of
violence against the existing order
that took place in this country.
Deported in December, 1919, after
serving q short prison term for
obstructing the World War draft,
she was sent to her native Russia.
She soon fell out with the Soviet
leaders, denounced Bolshevism as
tyrannical and spent the follow
ing years wandering restlesSly about
Europe, always casting longing
eye toward Americas shores.
Born in Kovno, Russia NOW IN
Lithuania), June 81, 1869, tn e
daughter of Russian Jewish fam
lily, she came to this country with

auently beat her and she worked
for small pay in q factory making
gloves and ShaWls.
Married Young
For a time the family lived IN
Rochester, N. Y, and there. IN
February, 1887, she married JACOB
Kersner. She wrote that she never
quarrelled with him, but that she
was going through "a tremendous
spiritual upheaval and he did not
follow" The "upheayal" was her
definite conversion to anarchistic
philosophy, largely because OF her
reaction to the hanging OF the
Chicago Haymarket bombers.
She went TO New York, joined
a young radical group on the lower
East Side and got job in fac
tory. She quit when refused a
raise in pay. In 1888 she helped
lead a strike of factory girls.
Free Love Tenets
Along with her anarchistic prin-
ciples, she had adopted free love
tenets. She was living with Alex

1892. The employers side of the
Henry Prick, noted for his anti

SO he shot and stabbed Prick.
But Prick recovered and Berk-

likes, Senator King Say
We Want Everything

WASHINGTON, May ID. Car
los Brownell, former Mayor of Sew
ard, today told the Senate Commit
tee on Territories that F. e d e
restrictions and lack Of cooperation
by the Interior Department is pre-
venting the development of Alaska.
Borwnell objected to the enact
ment of bill authorizing the forma-
ton of public purpose corporations
for the development of the Territory
unless Alaskan officials could exam
inc the records and stop undesirable
companies through the courts.
Alaska Hogtied
This bill" he said, lis just an
other example of giving powers to
bureaus and not giving Alaska the
right to say anything"
He said that bureaucrats slowed
the development of the Territory
and that appeal to the Secretary
of the Interior has very little eff
feet"
Brownell declared that a ly
needed roads in the Territory had
been left unbuilt because the Alaska
Railroad opposed them. He added
that millions of dollars" poured
into the Territory had been misap-

Tax Yourself, Says Senator
Senator King of Utah, told Brow
nell You have the power to assess
yourselves for roads. The trouble is
that you are unwilling to assess
yourselves to build roads"
Secretary Ickes explained the bill
would authorize formation of cor
porations with $1OO00.O00 capital if
they have at least $3.50 900 in cash.
He said Some Alaskans who are
used to crying for and existing on
Federal subsidies" would oppose the
plan.
Prefer Appropriations
After ALL" he said, you can't
blame Alaskans for preferring APP
preparations to immigrants"
Ickes said the purpose of the bill
is an extension of the Alaska mar
ket, broadening of its economy and
creating of jobs.
The bill provides that at least half
the employees of the corporations
must be American citizens. The bill
contemplates providing homes for
European refugees. Ickes said it
would provide American investment
for capital entirely under Federal
supervision.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. -
Item on the British point of view
(this story isn't new but it has
never been told and in view of
what is going on in England it
is, l think, worth the telling:
A few weeks ago, President
Roosevelt received from some old
friends of his in England, whose
names must remain no more than
Lord and Lady Blank, long let
ter. The bulky envelope con-
tanned a vast number of clip
pings from the small-town news
papers of England. Scotland and
Wales and each of them was a
humorous or human interest in
depreciation of some happening
that had occurred during the
Nazi bombings.
An old woman, during an air
attack, had herded her pigs and
cows into an air shelter, but had
herself remained outside: a vii
lage squire, whose fashionable
marriage had been interrupted
by an air raid alarm, kissed his
bride in the candIed dusk of the
local shelter and Signalled the
villages hoi-polloi to join him in
the wedding celebration; an an
Gent veteran of other days had
refused to take cover and stump
ed about, adding great oaths to
the anti-aircraft shells that were
hurled at the invaders.
Clipping after clipping re-
counted some spirited tale of
British John Smiths attitude to-
ward his tormentors. But what
impressed the President far more
was that his old. friends had not
one word to say about the havoc
being visited on London. In
stead, they concluded their letter
thus: Mail travels slowly and
we have just heard with great
sorrow of the terrific storms
which have swept over your
southern states. We sincerely
hope that no damage has come to
that beautiful old city of Charles
ton"
