ES ASHLEY
Asks Help To Free His Fellow
Workers Still In
Prison.
WfcW YORK. Feb. 21. The Work-
er®' Defense Union today received a
cablegram from Charles Ashley, the
young English poet, who wan deport-
ed last week, saying that he had ar-
rived In England and was going to
work at once to call the attention of
British labor to the fact that many
British subjects are In prisons of this
country for violations of warttme
laws and are being confined long
after English men convicted for sim
liar offenses at homo have been re
leased.
Aahleigh was convicted together
with one hundred ntid one other I.

and sentenced to five years In Leav-
enworth penitentiary; he was ono of
the political prisoners whose sen
teoce was commuted by President
Harding. Christmas. His sentence
waa commoted only on condition that
he consent to deportation. After his
release from Leavenworth he was re-
arrested on a deportation warrant
hut was released on ball almost at
once and came to New York. He
surrendered to the immigration au-
thorities the day before his depor-
tation. The Workers Defense Union
was In charge of his application for
executive clemency and succeeded In
organizing considerable sentiment
among the novelists, poets and art-
ists of America favorable to his re-
lease.
Thanks Friends.
Just before he surrendered to the
immigration authorities Ashlelgh
gave the Workers Defense Union the
following statement to issue on his
behalf as soon as he arrived In Eng-
land:
"To all those who have aided me
to secure iny freedom. I offer thanks
and sincere appreciation.
"It Is good again to see the free

"But my enjoyment of my freedom

of the men I have left behind In that
grey place of stone and steel. I can-
not forget Ralph Chaplin, his strong
artist's soul being gnawed away by
the slow rat-like minutes or a twen-
ty-year sentence. I cannot forget
Vincent St. John, whose conviction
was absolutely unbased on evidence
or the flimsiest kind, and who was
not even a member of the I. W. W.
I cannot forget Sam Scarlett, who is

Appertaining to Household Manutfernenl. |
Unless one is wealth} or lives in
a pnrt of the country where homes
are spacious, there is always the
problem of increasing the sleeping
accommodations in the small home.
With rents still high, the average
family must use practically every i
room for a sleeping room. And
many letters come to me asking for
suggestions.
"We have a five-room apartment, j
and things were going very nicely
until my brother lost his wife and
asked if he could come to live with
us. bringing bis three children. Of
course, he is paying his share of
the expenses, but as be is away
much of the time, he wants his chil-
dren under the eye of bis only two
sisters.
"We have two bedrooms, and so
we must use the living room for
sleeping now. But our problem is
this how can we increase the sleep-
ing accommodations in our home so
that our younger sister may still
have a room which is not visibly a
bedroom, In which to entertain her
callers? Please do not suggest a
folding couch or davenport, as the
room is not large enough for thin."
A folding crib could be placed In
one bedroom, to accommodate I lie
youngest child, while the older sis-
ter sleeps in the bed. The other
two children might be placed in the
other bod. And the sister, who, per-
haps stays up later than the rest
entertaining callers, might plan to !
use the living room for her bedroom
Since you do not wish to have one
of the folding davenports, by all
means think about a folding table
bed. This would give the room not
the least semblance of a bedroom.
These fable beds are not as well
known by the public in general as
they deearve to be. Folded, they
appear to be a nice library table
without the leasi suggestion of a
bed about them, enfolded, they pro-
vide all the romforta of a real bed.
They come In both slnglo ami
double sixe. If the space is small.
I suggest buying a single bed size
table. The price varies according
to the sixe and the wood fcnd finish.
But at any rate, they have the vir-
tue of giving no appearance what-
ever of a bed and thus one may
have a living room that may at a
moment's notice bo converted Into a
sleeping room.
Where space permits, one might
consider the day bed. so popular at
the present time.
The folding couch or the box j
couch, in which one may store win-
ter garments, unused articles, laun-
dry and the like, are all worthy of
consideration where space permits.
A folding couch purchased second-
hand by a ballroom girl was con- ;
verted into a thing of beauty by the
addition of a cover of monk's cloth
In a rather dark shade of ten. Three
pillows of the same material were \
brightened by the addition of a
cross-stitch design in bright yellow,
green, blue, orange and black.
If you own a horns, sod it is
email, why not have a carpenter
estimate on the cost of putting in
tier beds, one abo\e the other, es-
pecially for the children, just as we
have on ocean liners and in pull-

rangement. but there must be. of

Loans To Private Firm Not
Paid Back Says Report.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. ti.—
A report just issued by Governor
Hyde on production operations of the
prison shirt factory at the Missouri
frtate penitentiary, shows great dis-
crepancies between the quantity of
material purchased and the number
of shirts turned out, and a connec-
tion between a former superinten-
dent of the company and a compet-
ing manufacturer.
The report revealed that Henry
Miller, former superintendent of the
prison factory was In the employ of
the D. M. Oherniau Manufacturing
company of Jefferson City and was
receiving a salary from the state at
the same time.
A discrepancy between the amount
of cloth purchased and the amount
of cloth required for the number of
shirts produced, was found amount-
ing to 96,729 yards. According to
the records of the prison factory, it
was operating at a loss, although
there were no labor charges.
An audit of the records and an
examination of correspondence has
been made by J. M. McTaggart &
Company of Kansas City.
Numerous transactions between
the Oberman company and the peni-
tentiary factory are disclosed In re
port, among them "loans" or mate-
rial to Oberman, one of which has
not been returned, according to the
records.
E. A. Hartmau, chief examiner for
MacTaggart, asserted: "We discov-
ered from correspondence records
during the course of our investiga-
tion that Miller was during our audit i
period also serving the D. M. Ober-
man Manufacturing Co.. a competing
shirt manufacturing company. We
were not able to learn the exact na-
ture of this employment, but from
the records that we examined Jt j
would appear that Miller had super- i
lntendency of the Joplin factory and
possibly another small ractory within
this state, Imth belonging to Ober-
man. It does not appeal that this
situation was any secret around the
ractory, or that the penitentiary of-
f lela Is or prison board were not ac-
quainted with such service during
the period under review."
Purchase* Pooled.
The correspondence found, accord-
ing to the reports, "reveals a close
working relationship between Ober-
man and the prison factory. Miller in
said to have allowed purchase con-
tracts for the prison factory to be
placed by the private concern In ac-
cordance with its judgment.
"Purchases were pooled, apparent-
ly to get better prices at the mills,
but without regard always on Mil-
ler's part as to whether or not he
needed the goods."
That Miller on Dec. 9. 1920.
"loaned"' to Oberman 80,356 yards of
shirt materinl which cost the stale
14 cents a yard, a total of $12,509.85.
and received in May. 1920. in return
SO,464 yards, which cost 8 cents per
yard, or $7,237.14. Is charged in the
report. The loss on this transaction,
according to the audit, was $5,272.71.
In June. 1920, the report shows
another "loan" to Oberman of lf .-
463 yards, which cost the state 8
cents a yard, or $1,657.o<>. No re-
placement of this "loan" lias ever
been made by Oberman. the repot I
says.

for and by the people.
The following communication to
the Courier News, of Fargo, N. D..
by a farmer of that state, is worthy
of your careful consideration. This
farmer has evidently been sitting up
nights and thinking for himself.
He says:
Have read and studied a sreat
deal about the different kinds of
farm organizations, like the Equity,
the Grain Growers, the Wheat Grow-
ers and the Farm Bureau. I believe
to a certain extent that they are all
Kood and more or leas beneficial to
the farmers. When these organiza-
tions *et so strong that they begin
to pinch the toes of big business.
then the big interests call a con-
ference and invite the leaders of the
different farm organizations.
As it is today most all the power
ii vested with the leaders of the
farm organizations. With the lead-
ers carrying that power they can be
honest or dishonest, do as they wish,
sell your organization or turn it
over to the big Interests, and thi;t
Is why your organizations have not
proved beneficial to the farmer. As
long as big business can get control
of the leaders the big boys have you
where they want you. and as long
as they can keep the different farm
organizations fighting each other
they have accomplished their job.
Why should the Wheat. Growers
fight the Farm Bureau and the Grain
Growers fight the Farm Bureau, etc.
The men and women that are paying
their dues and financing their or-
ganization have very little to say.
That is left to a few. the leaders.
Gustafson tells the Grain Growers to
stay out of politics and as I under-
stand It, Mr. Howard, head of the
Farm Bureau, influenced the Farm
Bureau to pupport Senater Cummins
of Iowa and I think you all have
read about the famous Esch-Cum-
mins railroad bill. It Is all right
for the leaders to be in politics but
not the members. I say, No! I say
all of us sbould be in politics.
Now we. the people of the United
States, live under the laws of the
United States. I^aws are nothing
but rules. If congress passes a law
we, the people, have to abide by it,
do we not?
And I say to you all If we, the
farmers and laborers, are going to
get. justice, we have got to come to-
gether. all the different farm organ-
izations and all the different labor
organizations. When we do that the
big fiRht Is over. The farmers have
10.000,000 votes and the different
labor organizations have 5.000.000
votes, and If I am not mistaken
there were about 25,000,000 votes
cast in the last presidential election.
So you see the farmers and laborers
hold the majority of tho votes in
the United States.
If I were to belong to all of the
different farm organiaztions it would
be in the neighborhood of ten. It
would cost me about one hundred
dollars per year to belong to all of
them and ten meetings to attend,
whereas It all could be done in one.
Why not have one big organiza-
tion like the bankers, the merchants
and all of the big interests? Why
can not we farmers and laborers do _
th, same, or are we so selfish and norahT'mnkl'ng'Republli'n raemhe'r

MILITARISM.
"Now we are begiuning to see

What an imagination! If we could
only share It with that happy writer!
According to real facts, militarism is
still very much alive and ever ready
to do the bloody business of capital-
ist imperialism. One useful thing,
however, the war has accomplished:
It has opened the eyes of the people
to the horrible possibilities of mili-
tarism. and It is now the duty of the
workers to render those possibilities
impossible in the future. War has
not killed militarism, but it has
more than justified its elimination.—
