Jaroslavsky presides, Ull- rich and Cameron are members of the court and Krylenko is prosecuting at- torney; the official defense has been taken over by Ozep and Dukowskoy. Numerous members of the foreign embassies as well as numerous for- eign journalists are present. The defendant Ditmar speaks Rus- sian; the others, German. Wolscht refuses to be defended. Kindermann requests only legal advice. As ex- perts for the characterization of the political situation in Germany and of the political motive forces behind the defendants, Horpius and the repre- sentative of the German Communist Party in the Comintern, Heinz Neu- mann, were summoned, On grounds jof extra-territoriality, the German em- 'passy council Hillger refuses to ap- ‘pear before the court; he declares his willingness however, to be examined commissarily at the embassy, The prosecutor announces that the exam- | ination of Hillger is of prime import- ance, because Hillger has to corrobo- rate or deny the statements made by the prisoners during their preliminary examination. Abuses the Court. The defendants Wolscht and Ditmar are quite at their ease. Kindermann is a confused phantast. He attempts’ to provoke the court with the state- ment that the indictment is a product of insanity. He claims to have signed the protocol in a state-of hypnosis. The prosecutor explains to the defend- ants their various rights according to the Russian criminal code. The chairman announces that the witnesses summoned by Wolscht from Germany would reach Moscow on the evening of June 25, At the appear- ance of the witnesses for the prose- cution, Kindermann again attempts to abuse the court. He is severely censured by the presiding judge who makes it clear to him that the court alone is competent to judge the admis- sability of the witnesses. To the question of guilt, Kinder- mann declares that all defendants would plead not guilty. However, only Wolscht joins this plea, whereas Dit- mar pleads guilty to every point in the indictment.

EXPOSURE OF SALE OF EMBALMED BEEF TO WORLD WAR SOLDIERS GETS RISE FROM SWIFT PACKING COMPANY By CARL HAESSLER (Federated Press Staff Correspondent) Swift & Co., the Chicago packers named in the embalmed beef story sent out by The Federated Press early in April of this year, are cautiously making indirect attempts to stop the spread of the revelation. The F. P. exposure cited the discovery by a chemist in army service during the world war that the unspeakable “embalmed beef” of the Spanish-American war of 1898 had been resurrected after 20 years and sold to the army in the world war, The chemist, now in a responsible industrial position in Chicago, had been stationed at the government laboratories in Savannah, Ga., during the hostilities, cious specimens of the food supplied to Uncle Sam’s fighters by Swift & Co, and other profiteers. He found some canned beef not only spoiled and chemically bleached but that pinholes in the cans had been resoldered and the cans them- Iseves very heavily lacquered. Dis- solving the lacquer he found the tell- tale stamp, 1898, on the cans. Story Widely Printed, After the war he told Harold Swift, the meat magnate and president of the board of trustees of the Univer- sity of Chicago, whom he had known in college. Confronted with affida- vits from the army laboratory files Swift was “very much surprised.” The Federated Press story was There he tested suspi-#———————. printed at least in three papers in Chicago, several in New York and in others all over the country. Not a word came from the usually alert pub- licity and research department of the packing company. The proof behind the story was too full of dynamite. Two months passed and at last the corporation found a victim on which to experiment. Swift did not attempt to muzzle any of the three Chicago papers nor the New York or other metropolitan publications that used the F. P. story. But L. D. H. Weld, manager of the Swift research department, swooped down on a tiny publication way off in Nebraska, the Norfolk Press, and de- manded an accounting. Perhaps Weld was emboldened by GOVERNMENT TO TURN AIR MAIL ROUTES TO WAR USES? COOLIDGE ORDER TO THE ARMY REVEALS WASHINGTON, July 19—The war department will “investigate the possibility” of using the air mail routes for battle plane in time of war. Orders were issued today for wix army pursuit planes to fly from Self- ridge Field, Mich., to San Francisco to determine how many airplanes could be accommodated and re-fueled at the air mail landing fields. The flight will = Se start on July 20 and stops will be made at all regular landing places. HE hahding over of the new dis- armaments demands on the part of the entente to Berlin is causing the greatest embarassement to the big capitalist-junker rulers of Germany. For the past six months there has been @ Breat outcry over the immoral methods of the entente, who, in spite of the expressed terms of the Versail- les treaty, refuse to evacuate Cologne, but no mention is made of the reason for this non-evacuation, i. e., the fail- ure of Germany to comply with the disarmament conditions, For months past the national government press has been feigning to raise a storm of protest aaginst the demands of the entente in order to deceive the na- tionalist Hindenburg electors, altho they know perfectly well that the na- tional government of Hindenburg will fulfil the demands of the entente, _ The disarmament demands are a well-known means of pressure by ice upon Germany, and constitute the usual pretexts for the continued occupation of Cologne and the Ruhr area, They have nothing whatever to do with a real “disarmament,” if only because they are submitted by the entente powers who are armed to the teeth, to Germany which is at present militarily helpless. Still is it intended that they shall achieve the disarming of the German white guard- ist civil war forces against the work- ing class. On the contrary, the en- tente powers are even prepared to supply the German bourgeoisie, pro- vided it behaves itself, with all the necessary war material for holding down the German working class and tor war against the Soviet Union. HE German government hoped to obtain an amelioration of the de- mands by English imperialism, to whom it renedered various gratuitous services, especially by the well known guarantee pact. Tedious negotiations regarding the formulation of these disarmament demands.

The Illinois depart- ment of labor’s monthly review, pre- pared by R.

Altho employment, figures are lower than for any June, since 1921, the rata of descent has slowed down, The number of workers employed fell by only 4-10 of 1 per cent in June, where- us the rate of fall was 1 per cent in each of the three preceding months. owing perhaps, to more summer work opening up. 4,5 Per. Cent Less Working Than in 1924. Reductions in working forces are less than those of a year ago when linois employers, after laying off 25 per cent of their workers in May, oli- minated an additional 3.4 per cent in June. The decline of a year ago dowever, started from a higher point than was the case this year. There are now 4.5 per cent fewer people em- ployed than at this time in 1924, and 15 per cent fewer than in June, 1923 Building Volume Grows, The phenomenally large volume of building operations keeps the employ- ment curve from dropping still ther. In seventeen of the twent) three principal cities of [linois, the volume of new building work euthor- ized was larger than a year ago. Building progress was recorded ai Aurora, East St. Louis, Rockford. Rock Island and Murphysboro. In the city last named, which was struck hy a tornado in March, more than $400,- 000 worth of work has been projected auring the last two months. In Chicago the volume of new work for the calendar month amounts to $33,087,100. In Aurora, Decatur, Oak Park, Peoria and Rockford new pro- Jects are valued at between $500,000 and $1,000,000, and in Cicero, Fast St. Louis and Springfield between $250,000 and $508) 000.

We printed what we believed to be well supported facts on unimpeach- able evidence and see no reason to alter any statement in the article but will be glad to send out a correction if there is any basis for one. “If after consulting Harold Swift of your corporation you still desire to push the inquiry, we shall be at your service but hope you will deal with us direct instead of pouncing on an obscure woman editor in Nebraska.” MacDonald Here This Fall.

It is expected his trip will include these conferences and also the convention of the American Federation of Labor to be held in Atlantic City in October, Money Scandal Causes Split in Kian ‘\DENVER, Colo., July 19.—The climax in a ku klux klan money scan- dal was the secession of the Colorado klans from the national organization and its formal declaration to follow the Denver klan. the German government by the nose by means of half promises. The German counter-revolution did not object to this maneuver. It hoped on the contrary, in its helplessness, to obtain some slight advantage from it, and designated the whole thing as real national politics, or skillfully taking advantage of Anglo-French antagon- fem, The real underlying idea of this real national politics is somewhat as follows: “How can I as a national government, with the heroic Hinden- burg as a figure head, adorned with national phrases, coutinue most easily the policy of submission and render it palatable to the nationally mindeo masses.” i. *f words, how ean 3 é Hinden- ‘urg melody found for tos perman- but policy of cvery bourgeois govern ment, the fulfillment of the Dawes plan? ‘HEN the German counter-revolu- tion agreed with English impen jalism on the presidency of Hinden- month.
