, Capital and Labor.
Now York. When tho Uuford sullofl
tor IlUBla with Emma Goldman on
. board novor to return Americans be
lieved anarchism in tho Unitod States
had boon doalth a lasting blow. Gold
man and Berkman wcro tho chief
spokesmen of violent thought in thla
oountry. .
For a timo thcro was not much
dangor in an anarchistic circlo until
tho Wall street explosion, in which
thirty-nine wero killed. That was
formal .notlco to tho United States that
tho anarchists had resumed worlt.
It was loarned that all groups ot
tho anarchists, bolshovlnts and agents
ot tho forces of all nationalists will
hold a convention in Soptombor, pre
sumably, in Now York city or aomo
whoro In Now Jorsoy. Tho Daily Nows
will publish additional data showing
tho communist party In America is
now a natlon-wldo revolutionary or
ganization with tho open and avowed
pnrpoao of overthrowing tho United
States government by vlolenoo and
putting hi lt8 placo a soviet govern
ment For tho first time in history
all tho anarchlstlo groups in tills
oountry oro unitod against tho com
don enemy, which is law and order
and harmonious relations botwoon la
bor and capital.
In tha Now York district most of
tho anarchists am Rnssiana and Jews,
With a fow Italians. Moat of tho Ital
ians aro connected with tho GaJleanl
group, which has lis headquarters In
Boston.
In Philadelphia tho Propena group
of Spanish terrorists was strong, but
lata reports indicate a majority, ol
thorn havo returned to Spain, whore
thore has been much activity.
In Cleveland the anarchist? nro
mostly iluRulans and in Chicago tho
Italians and Russians control the sit-
Bfttldtt.
By far tho moat dangerous group In
New York todny is tho reorganized
union of Russian workers, now known
as tho Russian toilora. Thoy aro
Bnarcho-oommunista aud two years ugo
had a dues paying membership ot 7,
000 in tho United States. Presume
ably this momborshlp has greatly in
crensd In recent months. In tho do
pnrtmoni of Justice raid ot 1919 sev
eral leaders ot this organization woro
arretted and doportod.
Singularly enough, this group is op
posed to tho boluhovlk leaders in Rus
sia and wago Incessant wnrfaro on
tholr followers hero. Howovor, this is
explainod by the desire of now lead
ers, or agitators, who consider thorn
eelves born loaders, to gain supromo
powor. All of thorn bollovo In the
destruction of capital, tho uttor de
molition of government as govern
ments ura now organizod and tho sub
stitution of a government by t'o rab
ble. Working hand In hand with the Gal
loaol group, tho Spanish ProponBa
croup and tho union of Russian tollorn
ftro tho I. W. W.'s who havo recontly
onrdorod mon in tho west for refus
ing to Jala with thorn. I. W. W. nd
vocatua fho gonorul strlko and sabot
age as a moans ot destroying capital
and eoliluff tho government. It is
working chiefly, among minors, .the
railroad switch yards and In tho west
am labor unions. The bloody reign
of Utrror In tho West Virginia coal
nines can bo traced dlroctly to tho
agents of tho communist party, and
thex aro still at work thcro.
It is tho announced purposo ot all
those departments, and moro espo
dally of tho I. W. V.. to destroy the
American Federation of Labor. To
this and agents of all tho groupH have

Chicago. A movomont by commis

which eventually may havo tho offoct
of forcing retail prices ot meat down
ward, camo In an appeal sont broad
cast by Kvorott C. Brown, prosidont of
tho National Llvo Stock exchango.
"Tho drossod boot trado io in a de
moralized condition," It wan oxplalnod.
"Although wholesale pricois of beef
have dropped until foroquartora aro
selling in soma placos at 4 cents a
pound, retail prices havo not come
down.
"With retail prices up tho house Is
not buying. With that condition ex
isting, tho retailor of course is not
sellllng and Is consequently, not buy
ing from tho wholosalor, who in turn
has restricted his ordors from tho

"Tho rosult has boon that onstorn
boot markets ospaclally havo bocomo
congested, and a disaster Is throat
onod In Chicago and othor westorn
markots unlean loading of llvo cattlo
in tho country is arrostod."
Tho nppool to shippers to put as
fow cattlo on tho rails as possible was
.mado only aftor a gonoral survey ot
tho boot situation was made.
"Storage spaco at tho Atlantic soa
board is congostod to such a dogroo
that beef arriving from tho' wost can
not bo unloaded," Bald J. B. Stafford,
prosidont of tho Chicago Llvo Stock
oxchnngo. "It Chicago and other

Tho solution of tho situation, ac

'stead Surprlsos Colleagues.
Washlnfton, D. C. Tho house wont
on rocord against any interference
with homo browing and distilling for
porsonal uso.
By a rising voto of 90 to 54 it vir
tually dorrlved prohibition agents of
all powor to provent tho manufacture
of all alcoholic boveroges in private
dwolllngs unloss proof can bo furn
ished that tho liquor 1b being manu
factured for sale.
Tho victory for tho collar distilleries
and tho kitchen browerios camo when
a substitute for the Stanley search and
solzuro amendment, approved by the
aonato, was adopted. As passed by tho
Bonato, tho Stanloy amendment pro
hibited with heavy penalties any
soarchos or seizures by prohibition
agonts without warrants
Tho houBO substitute prohibits the
dry agents from searching any private
homes without warrants, and then de
clares, "no such warrants shull issue
unloss thore Is reason to bollovo such
dwolllng is used aB a place in which
liquor Is manufactured for salo or
sold"
Thus, tho substitute) first prohibits
soarchiJig of homos without warrant,
and then declares that if homo brow
erios and dlsttllorlos aro not making
liquor for sale no soarch warrant can
bo. obtained.
Several drya argued that the sec
tion as writton would give completo
protection to tho home liquor mak
ors. Roprosentatlvos Field, of Kcc
tucky, sought to amend It so that a
warrant to soarch a homo could be ob
tained if there was reason to believe
that liquor was manufactured or sold
there.
For some roaaon, Representative
Volstead, of Minnesota, loader of tho
radical drys, declined to support him.
Many momborB vdte Just as Mr. Vol
a,toad does on prohibition quostions
and tho amendmont was lost, 96 to 54.
Tho houso substitute with tho protec
