NO "REDS" IN OGDEN. I: When Peter Collins, the famous K. oi! C. lecturer, who spoke in I the Tabernacle last night, was in Butte, he found that 75 per cent of I. " his audience was antagonistic, being supporters of the "Reds" and l , hecklers were numerous. i - In the Ogden audiqnee last night there was not a man or woman j who did not applaud hi. most telling points, and when he invited I questions and was asked if certain associated industries was doing I the right thing by Utah in attempting to disrupt the unions, his au- I ' swer brought hearty applause. He ?aid, aside from the fact that the Ij effort to establish the open shop was a blow at unionism," the most ; ; serious feature of the movement was tliat it would result in driving the skilled workers from this state at a time when every large city i in the United States is bidding at any price for the trained masters I j of their trades, and he cited certain industries in St. Louis which V , were offering as high as $100 a week to get capable craftsmen. j , Mr. Collins said Bolshevism is' nothing more than Socialism of j ' the Carl Marx school, which denied the existeuce of a Supreme Being ! 1 and had a plan of action which, if successfully carried out, would I f destroy our present civilization based on the laws of God and the j f. ' commandments given to Moses at Sinai. I , As a result for present unrest and distrust. Mr. Collins urged a f better understanding between labor and employers. He declared B , both were essential to the welfare of any community and neither side should be a law-unto itself. "Where there are differences,, he I said, there should' bfc conferences in-reaching an, understanding of. r - the problems confronting both sides. The lecture'as'a whole was a masterful outline of the extsme Socialistic doctrines and a vigorous defense of Christianity .as op- ' posed to the theories of the 1. "W. W. and Bolshcviki. This was the second lecture in Ogden by Mr. Collins in four years. "Whenever he returns, his presence will bring together an- ' , other large audipnee, for he is no ordinary man on the platform.
