NORWEGIAN KING BEGONES BOLSHEVIK Red Flag Flies in Christiania; Foreign Capital May Withdraw Christiania, June 24.—The king of Norway, as chief executive, the cab- inet, and the radical party of Pre- mier Blehr are today all closely allied politically with and supported by the Communist party, a group generally credited with taking orders from the Third Internationale at Moscow. The Russian‘organization is pledged to ob- taining the dictatorship of the pro- letarlat by revolution against existing forms of government, It is doubtful if the Communists, are supporting the cabinet for noth- ing. They are believed to have made thelr terms, and as a result certain elements here expect to see further legislation along Communistic lines, Already Norway has adopted a com- mercial treaty with. the Russlan Bol- sheviki and granted them diplomatic rights. The Bolsheviki have estab- lished headquarters in Christiania and the red flag flies from the top of their building. Forcign Capital Planned. The government today is taking an active part in various trades and in- dustries thich formerly were priv- ately owned. The tendency is to *‘so- clalize” everything. The burden of taxation is becoming heavier and heavier, and the end is not yet. The latest laws tax income and deposits of foreigners in Norway, and Nor- wegians living abroad, to the extent of 75 per cent. A foreigner with in- vestment in a Norwegian industry will receive only 25 per cent of the profits due him. The government takes the rest. As a result it is ex- pected that foreign capital will with- draw from Norway. The Communist party—it was until recently known as the Socialist par- ty—is said to have accepted Bolshe- vik doctrines, and is believed in cer- tain quarters to be working for the overthrow of the present government of Norway and the establishment of a dictatorship on the Russian model. Its leaders have constant and close relations with Moscow. Have 30 Seats in Parliament. The Communists last fall secured 30 seats-in the Storthing, or national parliament. The Storthing has 150 members, and no party has control The strongest faction, the Conserva- tives have 63 seats and the Radical party of Premier Blehr, 51 seats. Next come the Communists. The recent efforts to secure nation- al prohibition in Norway aroused op- position in Spain and Portugal, pro- ducers of wine, who in retaliation re- fused to buy Norwegian fish. This partly ruined one of the principal in- dustries in Norway, and resuited in financial stringency, with consequent unrest, Split on Prohibition. The Radical and Conservative par- ties proposed * a combination but split on this question of national pro- 1= ition, Seeking another combina- tion the Radicals came together with the Communists and the latter agreed to forego their opposition to a pro- posed measure of compulsory arbi- tration in labor disputes. Through their leader in the Storthing, O. Scheflo, they announced they would vote for the arbitration proposal, a principal issue on the Radical pro- gram. Premier Blehr accepted the aid of the Communists and this bill has been passed. The “original opposition of = the Communists to the arbitration meas- ure was based in the belief that en- actment’ would shift' power from the labor organizations to the arbitration court. There is here, as elsewhere, an effort to reduce wages to a pre- war basis, and the Communists have been considering a strike of protest. But the present is a most inopportune time for a strike, so much so, that the Communists preferred even to accept the arbitration measure. Hence they combined with the Radi- cals, the king and the cabinet, and put the arbitration measure through. OPERATORS WILL SUE Miners' Union Will Be Named As De- fendant in Litigation Arising Out of Herrin Outrages. Chicago, June 24. (By Associated Press)—Estimates of the amount of property damage and determination of the cold figures to fixed as the leg- al value of human lives lost in the mine riots and massacre of ‘‘bloody" Williamson county were being com- piled today in preparation for the damage suits which the southern TI1- linois Coal Co. announced will be fil- ed against the international union of the United Mine Workers and the county. The suits will aggregate more than $1,000,000 according to Iollett W. Bull, counsel for William J. Lester, president of the company. With re- ports of abandonment of closed mines by pumpers and other help left to protect shutdown pits during the coal strike, amounts of property damage to be established remained uncertain until it could be ascertained how far flood damage to abandoned mines would run. Suits will be filed not only for the company but in behalf of the families of victims. FORD PURCHASE DENIED Wills Motor Plant Not To Be Sold 1s Statement. Detroit, June 24.—Persistent ru- mors that a deal was in prospect in which Henry Ford would purchase the automobile plant of C. H. Wills & Co. at Marysville were denied by Mr. Wills today.

Curtiss had withdrawn, following several ‘no choice” ballots, Miss Penfield was de- clared elected.

I SUFFRAGETTES IN JAPAN ACT QUICK Police Give Women Right to Atend Political Meetings Tokio, June 24.—The suffragettes of Japan have been quick to take ad- vantage of the new police regulation passed by the Diet and which came into effect on May 10, permitting women to take part in political meet- ings, which has heretofore heen pro- hibited. On the evening of the day on which the prohibition was lifted the women of Kobe held their first meeting in the Y. M. C. A, hall, they having accepted the hospitality of men as there are no women's organizations owning premises of their own. The hall was filled an hour before the hour set for the meecting, about one-fourth being women and the rest men, equally divided between sup- porters and opponents of the wom- en's cause, . The latter interrupted re- peatedly but Madame Shizuko Sugai managed to get through her speech, in which she demanded equal suf- frage. ‘“For 2,000 years,” she said, “Japanese women have, been held down by the weight of the three so- called virtues; to obey parents while unmarried, to obey hushands when married and to obey the son after the husband is gone. Under the false morality of virtuous wife and wise mother, she had been robbed of her social privileges.” She denounced Japanese politicians as "double tongued monsters who promised the people much but alwa legislated for the privileged cla ! and declared that the police abused their privileges subjecting the people to control which lacked all common sense. Giving the vote to women would awaken the people to a sense of their political responsibility. The women of Tokio and other cities waited for the first Sunday after May 10 when they held similar meet- ings. The Tokio meeting was largely Thirty-three freight and five passenger cars were derailed, wreckage was strewn along the tracks for half a mile, but no one was hurt in this Central R.
