"It is too expensive an article to circulate," was the reply. "Yes you circulated many copies of the soviet constitution?" "I think so." "And though you had no money with which to include copies of the United States constitution in your campaign of education, you could In clude the Russian soviet constitu tion?" "It was our duty." Saulit Stars for Defenne. Saulit, who is now being, held by the immigration authorities for de portation, was a star witness for tne defense. He is a man of pleasing per sonality, apparent refinement and was exceptipnelly well dressed. He spoke English brokenly but with excellent choice of words. His speech was slow, but his brain was not. Though he has lived in America for 12 years. Saulit has never become a citizen. He took out his first papers in 3910, he said, but never perfected his naturalization because he came to this country under an assumed name and had been, told it would be necessary to sec a lawyer to get matters straightened out betore nis nnai pa ners could be granted. He had been active in the socialist party in Oregon and was a delegate to the Chicago convention of socialists in. September 1919. He joined the insurgents of the . lift wing, who organized the com munist labor party. Saulit discussed the Chicago con tention of the communist labor party, after secession from the left wing of the socialist pjrty. The meeting had opened in machinists' hall in Septem ber. 1919, but. said Saulit. "the chair man announced that for the conven ience of representatives of the United States government present who de sired to take not', they would move to the 1. W. W. hall." There were no secret sessions and the convention re peatedly discussed iwrce and violence, but opposed its use, he said. No Substitute Offered. "Kmancipation of workers from the present wage system is the ultimate aim of the communist labor party, declared Saulit. "What substitute does it offer for the wage system?" "The communist labor party doesn't point out a substitute for the pres ent system, as yet," was the reply. W. S. U'lten, attorney for the de fense, expects to conclude his case today. He has yet to put Fry and Hurst on the witness stand, together with several character witnesses. Dis trict Attorney Evans has Indicated that cross-examination will be brief. Fry, who is inclined to be an intel lectual, remains the sole member of the communistic trio who does not flaunt his party colors before the court and Jury. He continues to wear a modest blue necktie, in noticeable contrast to the flaming scarlet neck wear of his companions. Mr. Saalit Takes Stand. Threats of "mob rule." with attend ant destruction of records and "beat ing up" of members, caused Mrs. Julia Saulit, wife of Victor Saulit and first financial secretary of the com munist labor party, to keep records by numbers instead of names, she ex plained on the witness stand. She joined the communist labor party after long affiliation with the so cialist party because it was more 'up to date," she said. - "Mass action" was defined by Mrs. aulit to mean "first and foremost, mass educa-tion, then mass meetings, mass petitions and mass parades." There was nothing violent about it, she insisted. Capture of the govern ment, she explained, was only to be "through the ballot." The witness came to the United States with her husband from Uussia 11 years ago. "to make money," she smiled. She is being lu-ld lor depor tation with her husband as an unde sirable alien. Lisirict Attorney Kvans narrowly escaped a fine for contempt of court when Judge Morrow misunderstood a comment made on a ruling. Kvans had objected to an opinion of Saulit on some matter, but Judge Morrow ruled that while t'le district attorney was probably right as a matter of law, out of an abundance of caution he would permit the tes timony to go on. Turbulent Water Calmed. After saying that he and Bernard had not objected to much testimony which appeared incompetent and im material, Kvans declared, "It is now time for us to have a little backbone. "I resent the imputation of the dis trict attorney that the court has not backbone, began Judge ilorrow, when Kvans explained that was not what he meant and calmed turbulent waters. Halt or tne aiternoon was con sumed in reading extracts from Will iam C. Bullitt's report of his mission to Russia, introduced by the defense in an effort to show that conditions in soviet Russia, whose communistic system of government is the aim of the communist labor party, are not as bad as painted by the "capitalistic press."
