ATTACKING INDUSTRY TO FREE
POLITICAL PRISONERS
The Industrial Workers of the
World undertook a large_ order in at
atmpting to tie up the logging indus
tries in the Northwest as a means of
liberating “political prisoners" in fed
eral prisons. A considerable percent
age of the "political prisoners” are
members of the organization and ap_
parently the strike is intended to free
them by paralizing industry.
The reds will hardly convince the
people generally that these industries
are responsible for the conviction of
these men. If they were sent to pris
on by federal juries and federal courts
it would be more in harmony with the
true situation to direct the strike at
the government and the courts instead
of industry. But in any event the
vast majority of the men employed in
the camps and on the docks have no
sympathy with the doctrines of the I.
W. \V. and consequently will not be in
fluenced by their preachments and ap
peals to prejudice. There is no such
thing as a ‘‘political prisoner,” for the
men convicted were found guilty of
attempting to harass or embarrass the
government at a time when they could
do the most harm; and it is not un
natural that the average workmen,
who is a loyal American, refuses to
be stampeded by a group of disturb
ers.
PASSING THE BUCK.
Sugar refiners in the East are try
ing to pass the buck for the cause of
the artificial increase in sugar prices
by saying that the market is controll
ed by the Cuban growers. Yet it is
asserted that from 70 to 90 per cent of
the Cuban production is in the control
of the American refiners. If that is
true—and if it is not true the finan
ciers will have to disprove it—the re
finers cannot evade the responsibilit}
for price manipulation and gouging
The government is on the trail o:
those responsible for price juggling
and if responsibility can be fixed in
the United States the manipulators
should be sent to jail.

SOVIET GIRL JUDGE LOSES NO
SLEEP OVER BRUTALITY
MOSCOW, May 10—Citizeness Anna
Guzman, the 28-year-old presiding
judge of the Moscow district court,
who a few days ago sent seven men to
their death for robbery, informed the
Associated Press correspondent today
that she had imposed the death pen
alty on about 25 persons since Febru
ary and had not lost a moment’s sleep
or been troubled by her conscience be.
cause of them.
Asked, how as a woman, she felt
when the doomed were shot, she re
plied that the question of individual
lives could have no consideration when
crimes against the state and public
were involved.
With a cigarette held firmly be
tween tight lips, the girl judge spoke
of her court experiences. She is slim
and short, not at all pretty, her brown
hair is bobbed and she looks like a
man.
“Since February 1 have tried eight
or ten capital cases, mostly banditry
and theft. I think about 25 have been
sentenced to death since February, in
cluding one woman.
“No I have never seen an execution.
Sometimes the law requires the pre
siding judge to be present but 1 have
detailed someone else.”
This new figure in communist activ
ities is a native of Kishinev, Bessara
bia, of Jewish parentage. She had
to make her own living from the age
of 13 years, but managed to educate
herself.
DUTIFUL DAUGHTER DID NOT
WORRY WHEN PAPA WAS GONE
CHICAGO, May 10.—When Edward
B. Shapker, a wealthy Chicago bro
ker, left here for a trip to New York
he told his daughter Betty, 17, not to
send him any news that would worry
him.
Betty didn’t, but this is what she
held out on him.
She was pinched for going 45 miles
an hour in papa’s new limousine with
five girls, to escape flirtive boys in
another car; that she was fined $75,
but vamped the judge out of $25 on a
plea she would not have any money
j for powder and rouge; that she paid
$7 on account and told the judge she
would get married to get the rest.
She did not say however, to whom
she was to be married.
TURKEY DEMOBILIZING
LAUSANNE, May 11.—Turkey as
serts she is demobilizing as the first
step toward the probable signature of
;he new peace treaty.

roads, left with a party of men to look
