| MINER RUSHED FROM COUNTRY BY GOVERNMENT Class Puipenee Leaves Wife and 4 Children NEW YORK CITY, July 20—The quick deportation of Tony Stafford, union miner of Italian birth who was taken from Moundville prison, fore- stalled efforts made by International Labor Defense in New York to stay the government's action. Stafford had served five years in Moundsville on charges, growing out of a frame-up during a coal strike in West Virginia. He. was an official of the United Mine Workers’ Union. He was taken trom prison’ by government agents, | lodged in Pittsburgh County jail until last Monday from where he was rushed to Bilis Island, and shipped aboard the “Guiseppe Verdi” which sailed on Wednesday for Naples. He leaves a wife in West Virginia and four children who had not seen him for six years. The International Labor Defense acted in the case as soon as it got word, but the reocrd- breaking time in which the deporta- tion was effected prevented its being stopped.

PAUL, July 19.—(FP)—“Legis- lators elected with the indorsement and active support of the organized labor movement should at least co- operate in the efforts to secure labor legislation and to prevent adverse le- gislation being enacted,” complains the legislative committee, Minnesota State Federation of Labor, in report- ing on the 1925 session, “Unfortunately this has not uni- formly been the case.

The program of legislation which we were instructed to prepare present, as well as those bills which we were instructed to cooperate in having enacted into law met with very little response.” The 1925 Minnesota legislature was predominantly republican with a farmer-labor minority.

OUR DAILY PATTERNS Nearing completion and SOVIET ELECTRICAL EXPERTS NOW IN AMERICA TO BUY EQUIPMENT; PRE-WAR CAPACITY IS DOUBLED NEW YORK, July 19.-An expenditure of 160,000,000 rubles or upward of $80,000,000 for electrification purposes in the Soviet Union is to be provided for the federal Soviet’ budget for the fiscal year 1925-1926, according to a statement made by the chairman of the Moscow Combination of State Elec- trical Stations Kazimir P. Lovin who arrived here last week for the purpose of studying the electric power plants and the electrical industry of the United States which the Soviet Union intends to take as a model in its own electrification plans. Accompanying Lovin is the mana- ger of the technical department of the Moscow combination of state electric- al stations, known for short as “MOGES,” Boris A, Barsukoy. Dur- ing their stay in this country .the re- presentatives of the Soviet-electrical industries will have their. headquart- ers in the offices of the Amtorg Trad- ing corporation, at .165. Broadway, New York, which is handling. the bulk of the trade between America and tho Soviet Union and thru, which eventual orders for electrical equipment. which may be placed in this country will be effected. P Electric Capacity Doubles In his statement Lovin pointed out that, while the electrical industries in the Soviet Union aré still in their infancy, plans for eleetmification have been pushed ahead at.a rapid pace during recent years and ‘the capacity of the electrical stations, though amounting in 1925 to only 512,000 kilowatt, was already double the pre- war capacity. The electrification plans now in execution provide for the construction of new electrical stations and the reequipment and en- largement of existing stations in 100 localitiés in the Soviet Union as a first step in the work of electrifying the country. Of these 30 stations with a total capacity of 1,750,000 kwt. are to be of the large regional type feeding elec- tricity over extensive areas. Two of these stations, those of Balakhna in the province of Nizhni Novgorod and Kizel in the Urals have already been partly in operation are the stations Volkhovstroy and Red October in the province of Leningrad, Kashira and Shatura in the province of Mostow, and Shterovka in the Donetz Basin, The total capacity of these seven’ sta- tions is 194,000 kwt. Cost One Fourth of Pre-War Beside these stations which ate being constructed at the expense and under the control of the central or- ganizations created by the Soviet gov; ernment for the purpose of electrifi: cation, local initiative is making itself manifest in many . districts where smaller electrical stations are beiig built by the local communal authori- ties or by stock companies with! the participation of the local authorities! |: Owing to this extensive electrical construction it has already become | possible to reduce the price to“ con: sumers on an average about on fourth of the pre-war price. ; Will Study American Plants In Moscow where the stations} are combined under the management of the “MOGES” of which Lovin is chair- pan the capacity by the end of this fear is to be brought up to 155,000 kilowatt as against 78,000 kwt. in De- cember 1924.

July 20.—Mrs. Elizabeth Newns of Baltimore was hing Workers, tated, all |fdenied a passport by the state de- partment on the ground that she was a British subject, and she may not be able to return to her home and four children without experiencing the rigors of Ellis Islan@. Her husband, Leonard Newns was born in London, Eng., and married his wife in 1912 in Baltimore where she was born of American parents. He was not naturalized then but since has taken out his final papers and going abroad with his wife was furnished an American passport, But because he was not naturalized until 1923, one year after the passage of the Cabell act, the state depart- ment held that his wife was a Brit- ish subject, and therefore not entitled to a passport, She was given the necessary pa- pers by the British authorities, but the immigration authorities have in- formed her that she may have diffi- culty in getting back into this coun- try unless the necessary documents are forwarded to her in time.

Kahn y-six years old and has been in prison eight years. He was one of the seventeen who were tried by court martial in 1918 and found guilty of | the murder of another prisoner in the disciplinary barracks at Leavenworth, where all of them were serving short sentences for slight military infrac- tions. Kahn claims that the murder was an accident that grew out of a fist fight between two prisoners. The one who was killed was a stool-pigeon who had been discovered by the others. The seventeen were tried and found guilty, Kahn said, as an example to the rest of those held in the barracks, many of whom were C. O.’s. The record of the. court martial, which Kahn can produce, is filled with irregularities of a nature not tolerated in the civil courts. The orginal sen- tence was death, but was later com- muted to life and then to twenty years. Nine of the seventeen have been released, Subscribe for the DAILY WORKER. IGNORE COURT, GROUCH ORDER Judge Obeys Masters, Withdraws Writ HONOLULVJ, T. H. (By Mail).—The writs of habeas corpus issued by Judge De Bolt in the Crouch-Trumbull case were made returnable the 25th of June. On that date Counsel Pat- terson who had been retained by the International Labor Derense, for the imprisoned soldiers appeared in court ready to take up the case. The army authorities failed to appear or to pro- duce the bodies of Crouch and Trum- bull as ordered by the court. The judge hastily ordered a continuance to July 2 and transferred the case to an- other judge's calendar. In view of the failure of the army authorities to obey the writ, Patter- son moved that they be made perman- ent and that the soldiers be released from Fort Shafter guard house, The judge denied the motion. Later the judge withdrew the writs and served an order on the commanding general to show cause, and the cause again continued, Patterson is carrying on a fight to show that the soldiers are held illegal- ly.

Comrade Knutson’s lectures furnish a desirable change to the continuous stream of slanderous lies about Rus- sia, that the kept press of South Da- kota has been pouring out ever since the Soviet government began to func- tion. Speaking at Frederick, he explained the great educational campaign that is now going on in Russia, proved by figures of the rapid gain that is taking place in both industrial and agricul- tural production. He told interesting facts about the Red army; and ex- plained the functions and purpose of the farmers international which is naturally to organize the farmers to fight the capitalist exploiters in their respective countries and international- ly to unite to fight world capitalism.
