They were hung up on iron bars, their heads were beaten against the wall, their fingers were broken one by one, their heads were steeped in pails of ice cold. water, and then they were once more beaten into unconscious- ness. “We went out of the town,” wrote the members of parliament, “in the direction of the barracks, ‘where the ‘enquiries’ took place, in the hope of finding out something at least from a distance. The barracks, however, were surrounded by police, cordons, for a distance of 200 meters. Nobody dared approach the place of torture, “We returned to Bielostok and de- clared to the governor that we were willing to make a written statement refuting the accusations of torture, if we would be allowed to convince our- selves of the fact. The governor ca- tegorically refused this.” This letter, published by Tarashkev- itch and Ballin, caused a great sensa- tion in the official cricles, George E.

An example of the treasury’s watch- fulness to see that secrecy is main- tained was given today when it was learned that a newspaper reporter was ordered out of the building last night.

Tickets to the Labor history. | Communist The first American English daily Communist newspaper is making The Daily Worker has become such an important factor, by voic- ing the aspirations of workers in this country—and by leading the fight for the best interests of the working class—at the head of the increasing ranks of revolutionary workers grouped in the Workers (Communist) Party. The Daily Worker is a mine of information on each step in the - progress of world Labor—and its’ interpretation of news, aided by special articles, explain the forces behind each incident of impor- tance to a worker. Such a paper deserves its increas- ing circulation—and should re- ceive your subscription.

Lillback, the United States district court, after a trial that lasted two weeks, ordered the Eteenpain, a Communist Finnish daily, to pay the minister $15,000. Hteenpain has appealed the case to a The higher court. The Rev. Lillback when confronted by many of the girls of the parish that he had hugged, kissed, fondled and made other advances to, under the guise of religious ceremony, accused the witnesses of being Communists, radicals, and anti-clericals who were united in a conspiracy to persecute him and trying to discredit him be- cause he had attacked the Commun- ists and had aided the United States government “to trace down many plots against the government.” In the face of these red scares he was award- ed the verdict. Thruout the entire trial, the law- yers for Lillback did not even attempt to prove his innocence of the charges made by young girls and many of the married women of his parish which were published in the Eteenpain and for which the pastor was brot to'trial, but raised the red bugaboo and tried to prove that all of the witnesses were in league with the Communists and out to persecute Lillback.

The steel trust charges pric- es which produce dowble dividends while operating less than three- fourths capacity. Profits the first nine months of the year amounted to $122,907,625, equal after all interest charges and prefer- red dividends to $9.44 on each $100 share. Indications point to more than $13 a share for the entire year. Finan- cial quarters are full of hints that continuation of such high profits will be found to justify an increase in the seven per cent dividends now being paid regularly on over half a billion dollars of common stock which orl- ginally represented no investment whatsoever. Gary's Rule of Gold. Only five days before announcing! these excessive profits chairman Gary said: “If one should ask whether or not there ig any panacea for the ills that somet‘mes appear to the moral, political, social or economic life of the nation, the answer is, ‘Yes, by the general adoption and practice of the golden rule.’ If any one protests that this is impracticable such a one, of course, refers to others and does not include himself. In determining the application of the golden rule, not only individuals but aggregations should become active participants.” Gary also suggests that “all of us must constantly and conscientiously look into our own hearts and strive to overcome what, if. anything, is wrong.” Does he find in his own heart the suggestion that such mammoth profits warrant an increase in the 40 cents an hour basic wage of the cor- poration of which he is dictator? Or a reduction in prices of products which affect the price of practically every item in the cost of living to- day? Quite the contrary! He brings out of his heart the proposal that steel magnates once again form a ring to raise prices and wring even larger profits out of the country, That is Gary’s idea—the golden rule inside the employing class—but exploitation for labor. Gary isn’t waiting for pie in the sky. State Interstate Commissions Fight for “State’s Rights” Since the recent decision of the in- terstate commerce commission grant- ing the Chicago & Northwestern the right to increase its suburban com- muter rates 20 per cent, many of the members of the Illinois commission, which claimed jurisdiction over this fare increase as being interstate com- merce, has hopped onto the bandwag- on with Minnesota, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio in the demand that “state's rights” be respected and are prepar- ing to carry their fight into the next session of congress. The first campaign to be launched aimed to defeat the move being made by the-thirty railroad presidents in the Association of Railroad and Utili- ties Commissioners to pass legisla- tion at the next session of congress to have federal control of motor bus- ses now engaged in interstate traffic, This move of the railroads is an at- tempt to kill off the bus lines that are now eating into the profits of the roads. The state bodies are fighting this move claiming that each state has the right to control the traffic withn its state.
