REPORT FAILS TO

THREE OTHER OFFICERS

SECUTED, 1T SAYS o. KS
NEW ORGANIZATION

Washington Oct. 31.-The long a.
waited reports on the aircraft investi.
cation, conducted during the last
five months by Charles E. Hughes
and Attorney General Gregory was
placed before President Wilson today
by the Attorney General and immedi-
ately made public.
Delays and wastes of the produc-
tion program, the report declares were
due chiefly to "the defective organi-
zation of the work of aircraft pro-
duction and the serious lack of com
petent direction of that work by the
responsible officers Of the signal
corpe"
No fault is found with the manage
ment OF aircraft affairs since the re-
organization of last May which plac-
ed John d. Ryan in charge. The civil
lion personnel of the aircraft pro-
duction board is exonerated of any
wrong doing.
Attorney General Gregory in let.
ter transmitting the report to Pre-
sident Wilson says he is in "substan-
tial accord" with the finding by Mr..
Hughes.
No Craft Uncovered
The report finds no graft" in the
generally accepted sense but makes
recommendations for proceedings
against army officers neld guilty of
dealing with corporations in which
they were interested.
The chief waste from the original
appropriations of $691 1851 1865, the re-
port says, was in the abandonment of
two types of airplane-one of the
Bristol-and failure to salvage az.
gregating, about $4,000 900. The figur-
es show that last May of the appro-
priation $134,00O000 actually had
been disbursed and that up to Oct.

$14O,000,OOO Contractslet. however

fund' The figures are given in answer
to the general charge what the sum
had all been expended with practical
ly no results.
The Attorney General concludes
in his letter of tranmitted that mo
such profits have been allowed as to
justify a charge of bad faith.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Close

GREATEST MENACE
TO DEMOCRACY

lgnOl ance is the greatest menace
to democracy. This makes the dis
closure that 100000 men liable to
military service in America can
neither read nor write so startling.
The 1910 census report showed that
there were 5,516,OOO persons over 10
years old in America who could
neither read nor write. There is an
error in government here that must
be corrected. Such people are not
prepared for life, and they are
danger to the rest of the population.
Perhaps the surest way to speed edu-
cation is to allow the teachers to
organize as the farmers and laboring
men and the doctors and lawyers, and
bring pressure to bear for more and
better schools.

choice of a woman as chief, wo-
man of expert knowledge and wide
experience, and this end was at
tanned by the appointment of nellie
Swartz."
Miss Mary Van Kleeck, chief of
the new federal woman's bureau,
greets the new womans branch of
the New York labor administration
as "a tremendous help from the view
point of the federal Women-in-In-
dustry Service, and the forerunner of
a very great development in New
York State in dealing with the work
ing woman's problems. The federal
service expects to work through the
state labor departments, and New
York has virtually given US new
arm for our service"
New York women leaders, includ
ing Miss Rose Schneidermann, presi-
dent of the New York Women's
Trade Union League and of the Cloth
Cap and Hat Makers Union; Miss
Mary Drier, chairman of the Com
mlttee on Women in Industry for
the State Council of National De-
Tense; Miss Amey Aldrich, presi-
dent of the Consumers League of
New York, and others, are unani-
nous in their enthusiasm over the
establishment of the new bureau and
the appointment of Miss Swartz as
its chief. "The working women of
New York have a great deal to
look forward to-" says Miss Schneid-
ermann, and her words are echoed
by the others.

bureau, is a native of Ashland, Ohio.

THOS. J. MOONEY
IS REPRIEVED

Gov. VIM. D. Stevens of California
has reprieved Thomas j. Mooney, and
gives the following reasons for his
action:
Il have decided to grant a reprieve
to Thomas J. Mooney, which will
operate as stay of execution until
December 13, 1918.
"It is true that the Mooney case
still is in the supreme court of Cali
fornia, but / take this action at this
time in order that all persons in this
state and elsewhere throughout the
United States may be assured that
che fullest consideration will be given
o this case by the executive and the
judicial branch Of the government of
Califol mia.
"The Mooney case has been in the
courts of this state for more than
two years. The records and briefs
are voluminous. | require all of the
time between now and the 18th dav
Of December to give to this matter
lhat tcareful consideration which JUS
ice, both to Thomas j. Mooney and
he people, demands shall be given"
1t is hoped that Governor Stevens
will make his investigation most
thorough and that while he is at it
ne will find time to write a message
TO the California Legislature suggest
ng that that body consider whether
he California Supreme Courts con-
struction of criminal law accords
with the wording and meaning of the
statutes.
1t would be interesting to know
whether the legislature intended that

but must hang on legal technicality. |

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Presi.
dent Wilson and President Carranza
of Mexico have been invited by Pres
ident Gompers, in the name of the
American Federation of Labor, to
attend the international Labor Con-
gress to be held in Laredo, Texas,
commencing November 13 next. Gov
ernors of all border states of the
two republics have also received in
vitations to attend.
This congress will be the result of
the work of the A. F. of L. com
mission, just returned from Mexico
City, and the Mexican labor COM
mission which completed its con-
ference in this city with the Pan

there are differences of institutions

"These separating barriers have
been the fulcrum used by eXploiters

cessionaires could not maintain their
vampire hold on Mexican wealth and
life if they had not accentuated diff
ferences and stirred up strife and
misunderstanding between the peO-
