CONNECTION IS CLOSE | Between One Big Union and | Bolsheviki--Societies Are 8preading Propaganda. Ottawa, Aug. 23--A strong oi] ment of sovietism in reply to "'So-| cialistle and revolutionary litera- ture" distributed in Canada is con-| tained in a pamphlet just issued by | the department of labor. It is be- | lieved to be the beginning of a big | fight for supremacy between trades unionism and the Socialistic and red elements. The standing of various la- bor organizations in Canada is rela- tively; International, 260,247, non- international, 33,372; Independent, | 8,278; National Catholic, 35,000, | and One Big Union, 41,150. An at-| tempt is being made to coalesce the non-international and One Big Union but with little probability of success. The National Catholic Union is very anti-socialistic and will align with | the forces of stability and order. | Unity in purpése and agitation is | traced between Canadian "Reds" and | Russian sovietism turn the connec- | tion of Rev. William. .Ivens and The New York Call dufing the revolu- | onary propaganda and disorder in /innipeg last year. Among the or-| ganizations named as spreading soc-| jalistic propaganda in Canada: are | the Socialistic Party of Canada; In- | *fernational Bible Students, the One | Big Union, the Labor Church, the] Communist Labor Party. the Anar- chistic Communists, the Socialist Re- | yolutionary Group, the Jewish Bol | shevik Party, the Russian Ukrain- | fan and Finn Socialist groups, Seld- | fers' and Sailors' Labor Party, Win-| nipeg; Union of Russian Workers, Ukrainian, Polish and Bulgarian Bol- shevik parties. History of 0.B.T. In conclusion the history of the One Big Union is reviewed and also the organization of a Labor Church in Winnipeg, another in Brandon, and attempts to establish similar or- ganizations in Fort William, Calgary snd Vancouver. The Labor Church characterized as "merely a subsid- A: of the Socialist Revolutionary iickement and a piece of hypoeri evidently conscious in the case of most of its promoters, designed to interest in the revolutionary move- ment persons of religious and hu- manitarian proinciples to whom the crdinary Marxian propaganda would not he attractive." The pamphlet declares that war is Ifeclared between sane and revolu- fonary labor. Trades unionism has de persistent attempt made by Bol- ;8heviks and dangerous "Reds" to se- 'duce its members into revolutionary Sgitation and effort. It is evident that this will now befought to the limit. Trades unionism will no longer permit its members to be used for plitical or revolutionary purposes iy those who would destroy law and 'otder, and challenge the supremacy of government, LATE AFTERNOON NEWS. , British and Greek columns are ad- yancing in the direction of Eskishehr venty-seven miles south-east of russa, to put down the new Turkish Nationalist offensive.

London, Aug. 23.--Sir Adam Beck points out that the Northern Electric Company, a subsidiary company of the Rell Telephone Company, has bought the rights for Ontario and Quebec from the American company manufacturing automatic, phones, "They want to get the rates raised first," predicts he; "then instal the automatic phones. Those once in, the Bell's operating expenses will be immensely reduced and profits in- creased accordingly." "The Northern Electric," hé ex- plained, 'has a controlling interest in the Bell, and manufacture all equipme: used by it. There is no saying wWat they .charge. The Tele- phone Company's purchasing ex- penses can be made to look enor- mous. Showing their books won't help. It wouldn't mean anything. It all comes from and flows back to the same source."

Swept all night in the heavy winds and high waves on Lake On- tario, George Miller and a friend from Picton had a thrilling experi- ence which was only brought to an end when the former plunged into the water and swam to W. H. Cover- dale's house at LaMoines' Point on Saturday morning. The two men had left Picton in a small motorboat to reach Kingston in time for the market on Saturday morning. During the night, however, a heavy wind came up and before long they were 'only making head- way against waves eight and ten feet high. The strain upon the motor was to great, however, and without warning the engine stopped dead and the little craft was tossed like a cork on the waves that were being beaten by a strong wind from north- west. With no. moonlight to afford any illumination and with the waves beating against the boat and drench- ing them to the skin, the men work- ed for hours to remedy the engide trouble. Mr. Miller's companion, it is said, was handicapped by the loss of an arm and could not render such as- sistance as might otherwise have been available. MAY QUARANTINE DRUGLESS DOCTORS London, Ont., Aug, 23.--In- structions to quarantine osteo- paths, chiropractors and other drugless healers who have been in attendance on cases of communicable diseases were re- ceived to-day from the Provin- cial Board of Health 'by Dr, W. S. Downham, lecal medical offi- cer of health. The letter claims that these classes of doctors have been attending cases of a com- municable nature and asserts that the danger of the practise is apparent. None of the drugless healers in London have dealt with com- municable diseases lately but in the past a few have reported them to tHe institute of public health, Dr. Downham stated. COL.

London, Aug. 23.--Placing love of country above love of her hus- band, the young wife of Terence MacSweney, Lord Mayor of Cork to- day concurred in his self-imposed sentence of death. The 'meting 'of hubband and wife in Brixton prison, where MacSweney is fast weakening from the effects of a hunger strike, was intensely dramatic. Mrs. MacSweney, after a fruitless attempt Saturday to induce officials . of the Irish Department to release the lord .mayor, under two years sentence for sedition, to-day sought his liberty, direct from Edward Shortt, secretary of state for home affairs. Shortt said he was power- less under the new rullng of the government that hunger strikers should take their own risks and re- fused to intervene. The distraught young woman then went to the prison to beseech her husband to give up his hunger strike. The lord mayor, pale and emaciated, remained firnr in his de- terination not to yield. In a tense scene, during which Mrs. MasSweney wept brokenly, her husband finally won her consent not to oppose hjs resolve to go without food "until released by death." MacSweney, in company with sev- eral other ' Irish prisoners, was brought to Brixton from Ireland this week. He was 80 weak from hunger as the result of going without food during his imprisonment previous to his trial and sentence, that he was carried aboard the steamer on a stretcher. Thrilling Experience m a Motorboat George Miller And Companion From Picton Seas When Their Engine Stopped at ~ Swam Ashore For Assistance. Canght i Heavy Nighi--Mr. Miller Consequently it was seen that noth- ing could be done without aid being secured on the mainshore. The men waited until daybreak and them Mr. Miller donned a life preserver and awam through the waves to the home of W. H. Coverdale at LeMoi- nes' Point. He reached there shortly after eight o'clock having been car-|$ ried down the shore line for a con- siderable distance by the heavy waves. So strong were the waves running that it was impossible for Mr. Cover- dale to get out his motorboat and make headway to the disabled craft!|e 5 the lake. Unde the circumstances t appeared © best plan was to go.to Collins for assistance. Mr. Coverdale drove Mr. Miller up to the village and there they secured the use of a motorboat belonging to Mr. Peacock, who is living beat and were able to tow it to shore. Both of the men, who had had the unfortunate experiene, were more or less exhausted by the stren- uous fight they had made but were able to proceed to Kingston after they had eaten breakfast and atten- tion had been paid to them. REDS PUSHED FURTHER BACK Gen. Wrangel's Counter-Of= fensive in South Russia 'Continues, + THE FRENCH ARE OPPOSED To the Invasion of Upper Silesia by Polish Troops. 'Paris, Aug. 23.--While the Poles are pressing their offensive between the Baltic and the Rumanian fron- tier, General Wrangel has launched successfully a major attack on the Black sea front, according to ad- vices received here by the anti-Bol- shevik leader's representatives. The Bolsheviki, massing large forces on the left bank of the Dnieper, were reported to have cross- ed the river and attacked Wrangel's right wing, near Kherson. Wrangel counter-attacked, pushing the Reds back across the river. He then fol- lowed with a general advance on a 150-mile front along the river be- tween Kherson and Orekh. A num- ber of villages on the left bank were captured and yesterday the counter- offensive .was still progressing fav- & orably. The French will oppose the in- vasion of Upper Silesia by Polish troops, it was reported in Berlin des- patches. General Lerond, commanding French forces in the plebiscite area, was said to have issued a statement declaring the Polish "interference will not be tolerated." According to unofficial advices 2:000 Poles marched into the Katto- witz district, where the German civilians clashed with French troops 2 few days ago. German farmers were said to have opposed the Polish advance throughout the night, 12 Germans being killed and, many wounded. Polish troops are occupying the entire border district of Upper Silesia. Bogutschuetz, Nikisch- schacht, Laurahutte and all the towns east of Kattowitz are in their possession. id MANITOBA FARMERS FAVOR PROHIBITION They Will Take Part in the Fight for "Bone Dry" Province.

Warsaw, Aug. 23.--While Warsaw has been saved, it now appears prob- able that the bulk of the army will escape the threatened encirclement and make good its retreat. The Polish attack in the fork of the Bug and Narew Rivers progressed much less rapidly than that on the Brest-Litovsk® front. Moreover, . the Poles are tired after their disastrous retreat and their recent heroic ef- forts. E\{\ng Horrowed many unitd from the Galician front for the War- saw operations the Poles weakened their front there and the Bolsheviki are profiting by the situation to hurl Gen, Budenny's cavalry army in the direction of Lemberg.

FIVE LIBERALS ~ DESERT LEADER And Join the Independent - Group in the Manitoba House. GOVERNMENT MAY RESIGN Defections From All the Parties Are Not Quite Frequent. : Winnipeg, Aug. 2§--iDefeitions from other political groups have" strengthened the Independent party of Manitoba to such an 'extent that it now has as many adherents as the Norris Government party -. This situatioih has been revealed as a result of a series of conferences of the opposition groups, the indepen- dents, the Conservatives and the Laborites. Five members. elected on party slates have kicked over the traces, definitely aligning themselves with the independents. So, as the situ- ation now stands, there are 19 in the Independent group and 19 Norris Liberals, the remainder of the 53 seats being divided among the Labor and Conservative parties. If it had not been fo e lone plank in the Labor party'séplatform ~--the oné advocating the socializa- | tion of industry--a coalition of the Laborites with the Independents would have been affected in the con- ferences and the Norris Government would have been called upon to turn over the reigns of power to a strong- er party. But the Lmorftes have stuck to their plank, so far, so the prospects of a coalition before th Legislature meets next January an slight, unless one side or the other changes its mind in the meantime. Of the five defections the Liberal party has experienced ome, Nick Hryorcuk, Ethelbert; the conserva- tives three, John Kennedy, of Mor- den; John 8. Ridley, of Manitou, and H. L. Mabb, of Fisher, and the Labor party one, E. Kristjanssen, of St. Georfe. All have pinned the Inde- pendent colors to their lapels. In the hope of overcoming the socialization-of-industry obstacle the Independents have 'arranged tenta- tively for another conference with the Laborites in October. If the" | latter decide to forgo that ideal tor the time being, as a matter of ex- pediency, or if the Indepemidents de cide to swallow the plank, "she days ' of Manitoba's present Government will be numbered.
