[2] Eines was a member of Fagopposisjonen av 1911 and Norges Socialdemokratiske Ungdomsforbund,[3] and was deputy leader for some time,[1] but resigned his NSU membership in 1921 as he felt too old.

[9] He was absent during the summer, as he was imprisoned (five weeks of detention, without conviction) together with Henry W. Kristiansen, Just Lippe and Otto Luihn,[10] but returned to edit the newspaper in the autumn of 1927 before Christian Hilt took over later that year.

In March 1942, Eines was hired as sub-editor, Odd Fossum's second-in-command, on the newspaper Norsk Arbeidsliv.

The newspaper belonged to the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions where the Nazis recently had usurped full power.

[11] In 1947, during the legal purge in Norway after World War II, Eines was convicted of treason and sentenced to four years in prison.
