In the report Of the executive coun-
Gil william ]. Burns was arraigned as
an example Of his own Characterization
Of private detectives and the investi-
cation of the federation since the NC
Namara trial was declared to be a
concerted attempt by employers asso-
Citations and subsidized newspapers to
destroy the federation and bring Its
Officers into disrepute.
Parts OF the report recommended
that the convention aid In the move
ment to abolish homo work and re-
ferred to the conservation Of natural
resources as q measure in which labor
should participate.
The report also dealt with the hoy
scout movement" At the Atlanta
convention of the federation q resolu-
ton was presented denouncing the boy

tarism and antagonistic to labor. The
report reviewed statements by leaders
OF the scouts which promised to elimi-
nate the features that were objectional
to labor and recommended that the
convention this year refrain from de-
nouncing the movement.
OF the McNamaras the report said:
.'The McNamaras' offense was So
cial crime. Thinking people who were
made to realize the poisonous. MAS
mic influences corrupting the atmos-
phere of Industrial life were over
whelmed by the weight of collective
responsibility devolving upon them az
a result of the existence of such con-
ditions.
Economically Insane.
"The McNamaras were economically
insane. due to imperfect education. In

tality.
"In any case society is responsible

What concerns labor and society gen.
orally is preventative measures anu hu-
man betterment so that life and work.
ing conditions may be pure, whole
some and clean. Those infected py
deadly social poisons due to social
neglect are the heritage OF our own
aims and those of our fathers"
or Burns connection with the NC
Namara case the report said IN part;
Burns has not and could not pro-
duce a scintilla Of evidence to sub
stantiate his -misstated statement
'Gompers knew"
The report charges that Burn:
made it appear that officers OF thu
federation were the higher ups ane
that when Gompers made reply this
turned upon him the brunt Of the at
tack"

STATE OFFICIALS
| Of CALIFORNIA
CALLED TO TINE
Tart Telegram Sent to Act
ing Governor Wallace by
Governor Hawley on Sub
ject of Quarantine.

California must "come across in the
alfalfa quarantine or there will be
some extensive explaining. Governor
Hawley today In telegram sent to
A. ]. Wallace. acting governor OF CAL
ifornia, takes that official to task for
not answering his telegram with ref
erence to the quarantine that state has
labeled against Idaho alfalfa.
Idaho's chief executive. acting upon
reliable information placed in his
hands, states that the original scale
now in this state came from Califor-
MIA. He declares that II there is M
desire for harmony on the part Ut
California the Gem state will take
positive and decided action and see to
it that no products infested in any de-
gree with scale are permitted to come
within the borders OF Idaho.
Reaches Critical Stage.
The alfalfa quarantine situation has
reached q critical stage. California
bars Idaho alfalfa on the grounds that
it is infested with weevil and has
placed a quarantine against that
crop here greatly to the detriment of
the reputation Of the state and to the
loss OF the growers. 1t is said that
the California quarantine also extends
to the states Of Utah. Montana and
Wyoming.
State Horticultural Inspector Nc
Pherson has been waging a strenuous
war on the California order. Starting
1t single handed he secured the as
sistance Of Governor Hawley and since
then an attempt has been made to pry
California's quarantine off and secure
an explanation why this state should
be Disseminated against. So far they
have been unsuccessful. Acting Gov
ernor Wallace was telegraphed by
Governor Hawley for an explanation
In an attempt to adjust the trouble, but
no reply has up to the present time
been received. Governor Hawley there
fore sent the following tart telegram
to the California official today:

Clerk I. w. Hart of the supreme court
Of this state of the action taken.
To attorneys the case is conceded to
be one of interest. It appears that
charges were made against Beakley by
attorneys in the southeast. The COM
plant in effect made against him was
that he used improper conduct IN con-
nection with the trial of a case before
]. c. Fisher, q justice of the peace. A
committee composed OF prominent at
torneys was appointed to investigate
the charge and later reported that the
allegation was in their opinion correct
and recommended disbarment. This
recommendation was made to Judge
Bulge, who was called In ON the case
which was within the jurisdiction Of
Judge Stevens. The recommendation
of the committee was adopted by the
court and Attorney Beakley was dis
barred from the practice Of Law in the
district or inferior courts in this state
for period of 80 days.
Official notice of the disbarment pro-
ceeding was received by L w. Hart

action before Judge Bulge against
