Now that the lady has departed, Chi- cago can return to normaicy as our late President Harding would say. For the benefit of those who live in the wide open spaces where news is as scarce as men, the story is, that an honorable judge and a police cap- tain, who is secretary to the chief of police, and divers other policemen and citizens, and saloonkeepers, beer need- lers, etc., have been indicted for al- leged violations of the Volstead act. ‘ = ew hasten to agree with our honor- ed mayor, that a person should be considered innocent until proven guilty, ‘The reverse attitude is taken by the capitalists where the workers are concerned. It must be particularly trying on our mayor to be shocked with such a reflection on his adminis- tration after a hard week's work straining his mayoral suspenders bow- ing to the queen, Unless I am mis- taken, the judge involved—his name is Harry Walker—is the same indi- vidual who sat in Judgement on Com- munists who were arrested last year for holding street meetings.

In view of these facts, it becomes decidedly problematical whether it is King Ferdinand’s illness or the fear of further demonstrations against her, that hag prompted the queen to cancel her engagement. The fact that the - messages received from Bucharest that have been made the basis for the postponement were written in code and have not been made public, would indicate that these messages might offer the much need- ed excuse to cancel engagements that can result only in further embarrass- ment to the royal travellers. N. ¥, Demonstration, Reports from New York state that International Labor Defense is pre- paring to give the queen a send off in the form of a rousing demonstration against her white terror government, While. the cancellations so far made have saved the royal lady this ordeal in both Cleveland and Detroit, it will be difficult to avoid the wrath of the New York workers since, to get to Burope, it is necessary to sajl on an ocean liner, It will be very difficult to get aboard the Berengaria secretly.

Cheer Workers. ‘When the first workers to go back to this mill arrived Monday, they! found a large crowd of strikers out- side waiting to cheer them. Inside the mill they discovered that less than fifty of the hefndred or more employes who had been working there during the strike had stuck to their jobs in face of the return of the victorious strikers. The Passaic Worsted Spinning com- pany is the first mill in the Passaic district which has ever signed an| agreement with a labor union, accord- ing to Mr. Starr.

The Canadian wheat pool in the province of Alberta, a co-operative method of marketing the crop and thus spoiling the speculations of the gamblers, has proved a notable suc- cess.

Twenty-seven states of the union are represented in the Grange con- vention. "e * St. Louis Conference Continues. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 18.— Con- tinuing the discussion of the opening tration was vigorously attacked by both representatives of the cotton growers of the south and‘the farmers of the north, the special farm confer ence meeting here, evolved two meth- ods of meeting the serious crisis con- fronting the cotton planters. One view was for immediate gov- ernment relief thru measures passed by congress combined with a cur- tailment of cotton acreage to lower the crop surplus and another view point was a plan for co-operative sup ervision of crops thru the organiza- tions of the farmers that could af- ford relief with adequate government assistance. Political Significance. The political significance of the conference is that it is a meeting ground for the farmers of both the north and the south coming together for the first tinie on a common plai- form that has as its basis the crisis that is operating in both sections of the country.

Diaz has stated that this interven- tion is necessary “to prevent neighbor- ing countries, principally Mexico, from aiding and fomenting revolutionary ac- tivities” in his country.
