Sen. LODGE ON A RAMPAGE |!
DEMANDS
FACTS BE
PUBLISHED
Omitted Press Leased Wire.)

UNITED Press Leased Wire.l
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March
26.-With the fate of the war
trembling in the balance" Sem
ator Lodge today denounced as
'tcrime" the governments "refus-
al to inform the people OF Amer
ica's peril"
"A wasted year" is behind us,
he exclaimed in passionate
speech before the senate. "Our
sector of the front in France Is
undefended from the air. There
is not a single American combat
plane in France-tho we've spent
$S40,000,000 in the past year."
Just Two Ships.
Continuing his assault on the
airplane program, Lodge said:
II think we have sent one
plane. 1t may be on the way
now. The Liberty motor-the
heavy one-may be developed for
bombing planes, but the light one
is not suitable for fighting planes.
We've no American guns in
France. When we decided to
make French 75's we wasted six
golden months trying to improve
the recoil-the best recoil in the
world. We've turned out two
American ships"
1T is to the last degree pain
full to say these things, but they
are the truth. They are there to
be dealt WITHHOLD, hard facts.
The American people should no
longer be misled. Tell them facts.
That will arouse the genuine grim
American spirit.
1--WE may be fighting before
long for existence as an indie
pendent nation"
Wood Comes Rack.
Senator Kellogg asked why the
military affairs committee, in the
interest of getting the truth to
the people, does not publish the
testimony of Walter S. Clifford of
the Council of National Defense,
and of Major Gen. Leonard Wood
with regard to the lack of air
planes.
Lodge replied the committee
doubtless will publish the testi-
mony when the time comes.
Lodges speech climaxed an
uneasy morning in the senate.
News from the western front
caused some depression. Then
Maj Gen. Wood, who yesterday
testified before the military af-
fairs committee in secret session,
appeared Unexpectedly at the
capitol and sent for Senator
Wadsworth. Wadsworth, Lodge
and a number of other senator's
were closeted with Wood for an
hour.

H. Roy Harrison; Who Is He?
HE'S YOUNG
BUT HE HAS
DONE MUCH

From engine wiper in a round
house at 10 to candidate for city
commissioner at 81
Sounds like the plot of an Alger
or Henty story for ambitious
boys.
But it's only the two high spots
in the career of III. Roy Harri-
son, young candidate for council
man who has entered the city
campaign as representative of
organized labor.
Harrison will be one Of the
youngest men to sit in the city
council If elected, Ray Freeland,
the first commissioner of finance,
being the only younger commits
sioner.
Organized labor is "going
down the line" for Harrison.
Their candidate has been an
active leader in labor affairs
since he was a boy. He has been
an exponent of the broad, con-
structive sort of labor activity
that has brought the American
Federation of Labor to it's pres
ent standard.
Becomes Trainman.
Born in Baltimore in 1880,
one of large family, young Har-
rison was brought to Spokane
by his parents when he was s
years old. He attended the pub
lie schools and spent two years
in high school, followed by a five
months course in business col
lege.
He began working when he was
10. Harrison's first job was that
of engine wiper for the Northern
Pacific in the Pasco yards. 1t
wasn't long before he became
fireman on a switch engine, and
in a short time he was firing
locomotive on a regular run into
Spokane.
In 1901 he gave up railroading
and obtained employment as a
waiter in Seattle restaurant,
joining the cooks and walters
union there. But the lure of the
rail still held him, and soon he
was back in the cab again for
another two years period. He
had meanwhile Joined the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen.
City Bureau Head.
When he, finally gave up rail-
reading, Harrison came to Taco
ma, and reopened his career as q
waiter. He was employed in
some of the largest restaurants,
became secretary of the cooks
and walters union here and later
president. His untiring efforts TO
bring union labor up to the high
est possible standard brought him
wide recognition in labor circles.
When Commissioner Petit took
office two years ago. he looked
about for capable man to handle
the city free employment bureau.
H. Roy Harrison was recommend
ed. He got the job. In a few
months Harrison had moved the
employment agency from a squalid
back room at 18th and Commerce
to its present quarters at 10th
near Pacific. and had reorganized

Riddeu Makes Six
Talks in One Day

AlthO the political campaign IN
Tacoma, on the eve of primary
election next Tuesday, may not be
as brisk as usual, G. M. Riddell,
candidate for mayor, is injecting
enough pep itno the race for sever
al candidates. Riddell was sched-
uled to make six addresses Tues
day, and he intends to make even
a greater number on succeeding
days.
At noon he addressed the
Wheeler-Osgood mill employees,
Attorney Burns Poe introducing
him. At 2 he was to speak be-
fore the women of the Whitman
school district, and at 3:15 before
women Of South Tacoma, at the
home of Mrs. Foley, 1926 South
Warner.
Tuesday evening Riddell speaks
before the Bismarck improvement
club, f. f. Brockway introducing
him; at the Park Avenue Congre-
gational church, when Mr.. Brock
way makes the introduction; and
at Valhalla hall, where he ad-
dresses the Norwegian Good Tenn
plars.
Three meetings have already
been arranged for Wednesday. At
noon he speaks at the Tacoma
Shipbuilding Co., and in the even
ing at Campbell's hall. 10th and
Mckinley, and at the Pacific
Heights Improvement club.
Riddell won big hand at the
Milwaukee shops Monday when he
told the workers that one reason
the street car service was so bad
was because the T. r. & p. would
not pay sufficient wages to its men
and that he believed in a good
scale of wages for all municipal
employees. He also told of his
work several. years ago when he
devised the plan by which the
present municipal railway became
a possibility.

the bureau with signal success.
On Exemption Board.

VII
He became secretary of the
Central Labor council two years
ago, and later president of this
largest local board of organized
labor.
He gave up his position as
superintendent of employment,
and the presidency of the Central
Labor council when he was ap-
pointed on the local exemption
board at South Tacoma by Presi-
dent Wilson last July, and served
continuously for six months, re-
ceiving special letter Of graft
tude from Washington when he
was forced to resign from the
draft work because of business.
Last year Harrison established
a partnership in a downtown
restaurant, and worked nights at
his business while serving days
for Uncle Sam. The restaurant
business increased so that a new
and larger location was neces-
sary, and Harrison's Index grill,
in the Central Labor temple, 18th
and Broadway, is now one of the
busiest places in the city.
Campaigns for Bill.
During 1914 Harrison sacrificed
his own interests and made an
active campaign for the women's
eight-hour law, which was pass
ed by the legislature few
months later. He also has been
an earnest worker for the anti
picketing bill.
He has been prominent in labor
work ever since he came to Ia
coma and has been chosen for all
the. important work of the local
unions. He represented Tacoma

Labor Rallies to
Be Weeks Feature

At least four labor rallies are
contemplated for the coming week,
but as yet no definite plans have
been made. The labor bodies ex-
pect to conduct their rallies at
South Tacoma, Bismarck, Old Ia
coma and down town.
Homer Bone, labor attorney,
will probably speak, besides the
three labor candidates, 1T. Roy
Harrison, E. w. Beedle and A. l..
Dickson.
Lots of red fire and plenty of
brass band music will feature the
rallies. Definite announcement
will be made Wednesday.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-03-26

at the State Federation of Labor
conventions in 1916 and 1917.
Harrison's career has been
marked by keen desire to
achieve results in labor work
without bringing censure to the
cause. His activity during the
street car strike last year, when
he was president of the Central
Labor council is admitted as one
of the big reasons why the strike
was 20 successful.
Harrison is the man organized
labor proposes to place in the
city council, because the members
feel he will carry his constructive
policies and businesslike ideas in
to whatever office shall be as
signed to him,

New Compact Fire Escape.

One of the boys aboard our navy's
fleet has invented a fire escape which
is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object was
to provide a collapsible fire escape
which could be compacted and con-
~veniently arranged at the window Of a
dwelling. 1t consists of a container
hinged to the sill in such n manner
that by opening the window and fold
ing the container on its hinges the
metal ladder may be unfolded and
dropped. When this operation is gone
through, a means is automatically pro-
vided whereby the ladder is held at a
distance from the walls Of the build
ing. The advantage of such precaution
Is obvious.

CITY MUST LOOK TO FUTURE
Timely Comment Made by %Indianapo-
lis Newspaper Is Worth Consid-
Grafton at This Time.

City planning is of immediate inter
est to many cities in Indiana besides
Indianapolis, remarks the News Of
that city. Many OF them are growing
rapidly. They have enjoyed business
booms due to war orders, and his
prosperity, even though it may not be
wholly substantial, makes necessary
permanent improvements.
Municipalities are among the few
businesses conducted today without a
definite end in view. Cities grow as
the result of conditions developing
from time to time. A private enter
prise may-and generally does-ex-
pand along definite lines. The desir-
able condition for a municipality would
be to apply similar methods. 1.-THE
time is ripe" said a Boston official,
who made a tout of our cities, 'for
the state of Indiana to have a city
planning commission law, which will
benefit your city (South Bend) as well
as every other city in Indiana. . . E.
Seven states have enacted city plan
ming legislation. The state of Massa-
chusetts was the first to adopt such
legislation, and according to the law,
every city of 10000 population must
have a city planning commission. No
improvements are made in these cities
unless the plans have the approval OF
the commission, which is composed of
five members elected by the people,"
