discrediting the statements of their leaders. followed by the recent blum der contained in the call for a state wide strike which fell flat in all labor circles. is said by labor men to give plenty of ground for suspicion that the German money of the |. w. w.. propagandists has either found Gro airs range or that he is mentally un- balanced.
 Coupled with the name of Croaff in the bitter comment going about are these of Dwight E. Heard. who broug-It the reports of l. W. w. em- ployment before the Council of De- fense originally. T. J. McCluskey, Western Federation organizer. and Secretary Smith of the Federation of Labor. The latter two were expected to produce evidence to sustain the re- ports. but had nothing to deliver when cornered in the course of the investi- gatiOn Smiths appearance in the matter at the behest of CrOaff had the further damaging effect of reviving memory of the fact that Smith, as president of the Globe Miners Union a year ago. refused to permit the flag to be raised over the union hall at Globe, a performance that loyal union miners in the state will never forgive and which they have always connect ed with Wobblyism. despite repeated declarations from Smith that he does not carry the red card. Blame at taChed to Heard is based on the as- sertion that whether unwittingly or wittingly. he opened the way for Gro aff and McCluskey. both apparently in his favor. to walk into the trap in which they were so badly squeezed along with Smith.
 That while this blunder was still hot Croaff should walk into the still more serious fiascO of the statewide call in sympathy with an acknowledged l. w. W. movement. and that in violation of the laws of his own organization, and in contempt of the orders of its national head. is considered uneX- plainable in any straight way
