The appeal of ©, BH, Ruthenberg, secretary of the Workers (Commun-| ist) Party arises out of his convic- tion under the criminal syndicalism law after William Z, Foster, secretary | of the Trade. Union Educational | League, a co-defendant, was freed as & result of a hung jury. Not only Ruthenberg and Foster, but a large | number of other active workers in| the labor movement of the country are | involved in the famous Michigan Com- munist cages. ..All of the defendants were arrested in connection with a Communist convention which was held in Bridgman, Michigan.- It the appeal of Ruthenberg is de- nied by the United States supreme has intimated that with Ruthenberg out of the way, Foster will be retried, and after him all the other workers who are defendants in the case, The appeal of Charlotte Anita Whit- ney arises out of her conviction un- der the California Criminal Syndical- | ism law, for membership in the. Com- |munist Labor Party. A contributing |“erime” was a speech delivered by her on the Negro question before a wom- en's organization. Harold Fiske, a member of the I. W. W., is appealing his conviction un- der the Kansas criminal syndicalism law. Should the supreme court rule un- favorably on the pending appeals, the development will be strengthened by DONATIONS--OCTOBER 7, 1926.

But Bunny insisted he must meet Harry Seager, and lured the two of them to lunch, and Paul also, and before the soup was eaten they had got Dad so stirred up that he did not eat any more. Of course, he ‘was horrified at their story; but there was no use expecting his mind to workthe same as Bunny’s. Dad couldn’t straighten out all the tangles in the world, and didn’t feel the impulse to try, What worrled him was that the Japs were in Siberia; and that our diplomacy was so unaware of oil; and most of all, that his son was falling under the spell of wild and dangerous ideas. This fellow Seager, for example—a big stx-foot Westerner, handsome as a Viking, and picturesque because of hair turned |prematurely grey by his labors; you couldn’t deny the fellow’s facts, you couldn’t think he was lying—but good Lord, there was no use being thrown off your base, and going round the country raising a public disturbance, attacking the government because { had made a blunder in the confusion of war-time, and then hadn’t known how to get out. Bunny dragged his father to a Soctalist meeting at which Harry Seager was to speak. It was in 9 big hall, with two or three thousand people packed into it, and Dad thought he had never seen 80 many dangerous people in all his life before; for- eign faces, dark and sinister, intense-looking intellectuals with hair over their collars, women with short hair and big spectacles, workingmen, sullen and dull, or sharp-faced, bitter—oh, terrible, terrible people! And this man Seager, lashing them to frenzy! Telling about the “death-train” he had seen on the Trans-Sther- jian—more than two thousand men and women packed into cat- \tle cars, prisoners of the “Whites,” who did not know what to do jwith' them, but ran the train here and there, shunting ft onto sidings for weeks, while the victims pertshed of hunger, thirst, jand disease. And American troops standing by, feeding such }murderers, supplying them with money, protecting them with guns! Yes, and it was still going on! Right now Polish troops were invading Ryssia, wearing American_uniforms, killing Rus- |sian workingmen with American ammunition! What did the |people of America have to say? What the people of America had to say was a roar that sent shivers down the spine of J. Arnold Ross. He looked about him ‘at this human ocean tossed by a storm—hands waving, fists \clenched, heads bobbing up and down with excitement; and he jknew what it meant—nobody could fool him. When presently |the crowd burst into cheering at the name of Lenin, they were criminal syndicalism laws which were) answer. At the same time the first | not cheering for what the Russian Lenin had done, but for what |drawn up and have been used solely | conviction of a union man on a charge | Am: Lent ean “Hy off Russia!”—t lagainst the labor movement and its|of assault resulted in a fail term of |S°™® ferent a eee ee sapere sty het was mere camouflage; what they meant was, “Hands on Ross Consolidated!” And then, .out of the corner of his eye, Dad stole a glimpse at his son. Bunny apparently did not feel one particle of his \tather’s fear! Bunny was like the rest of the mob, his face shin- \ing with excitement. Bunny was shouting for “Hands off Rus- sia!”—and either he did not know what this mob meant to do to {Rose Consolidated, or else—worse yet—he did not care! Vill The little bunch of “reds” from the untversity had attended jthis Seager meeting, and next day were all a-thrill with it. Most of Bunny’s fraternity brothers had-refused to go; and now they proceeded to criticize an argument they had not heard! Bunny's feelings boiled over as he listened to them. All this rubbish about ‘nationalization of women, these faked figures concerning millions of victims of Bolshevism! It was a disgrace to a university that such stuff should pass for knowledge, and no effort made to con- tradict it. Bunny voiced this idea to Peter Nagle, and Peter went home and talked to his father about ft. and came back amnounc- ing that he was willing to serve as editor for a student paper to present the truth. There was another meeting of the consptrators, and thirty dollars was quickly subscribed, and it was voted to publish a four-page weekly sheet of all kinds of truth-telling, to bear the name of the “The Investigator.” It was agreed that the best approach to the Ruésian problem was Harry Seager, because he had been a “Y” worker in good standing; therefore Rachel Men- ° zies was requested to write a two thousand word interview with {Mr, Seager. Another young rebel was to collect facts and ru- mors concerning secret payments made out of an alumni fund |to bring promising athletes to Pacific. Bunny, as 60- ‘cial light of the crowd, was assigned the theme of college snob- |bery, apropos of the fact that a Hindu student with high scholar ship records had been black-balled for the “Lit.” And then Peter Nagle brought up his favorite hobby, in the \form of a poem mildly satirizmg God. There was some question |as to the wisdom of bringing in the religious issue, but Peter as- serted his prerogatives as editor; either he was or he wasn’t, and if he was, then he took his stand upon the Russsian formula, “Religion is the opium of the people,” Billy George backed him ‘up, insisting that, the new paper should cover the whole field of modern thought. Well, “The Investigator” was written, and edited, and set be into galleys, and pasted on a “dummy,” and then cut an pasted differently. At last it was printed; there lay the sheets, fresh from the press, soft and damp, like locusts newly emerged from the chrysalis. Next day they would be dry; and meantime, “Ssh! Not a word!” How were the to be distributed? Thefe had been much discussion. Bunny, with his lordly ideas, wanted to give them away. But Rachel brought word from her father, the tailor, whg was also literature agent for Local Angel City of the Social- ist party, that the papers must be sold; people wouldn't respect them otherwise. ‘What they pay good money for they will read,” said Papa Menzies, with proper Jewish insight; and his daughter added, with proper Socialist fervor, “If we really believe in our cause, we won't mind a little ridicule.” It was a call to martyr- jdom, and one after another they responded—though not with- out qualms.
