tion-Wide Steel Strike.

dustrial Revolution.
4 BONEHEAD IN WASHINGTON

Strike and Stood Solid.

The steel strike was a plot for a
national industrial revolution. Jay E.
House, former Topeka newspaperman
and mayor, now with the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. declared here
Photographs of correspondence and
secret orders showed the strike was
engineered by radicals who cared
nothing for collective bargaining or
principles Of the American Federation
OF Labor, House declared This cor
respoudence included that OF william
2. Foster, steel union organizer. ac-
cused by steel mill unions Of syndicAl-
istic doctrines, the former mayor as
serted.
House told Of the circumstances
which he said led to approval of the
waIkout by Samuel Gompers, president
OF the American Federation of Labor
Bonehead by Investigators
"a bonehead was pulled by the sen
ate investigating committee" House
said They put Gompers on the
stand before Foster. Gompers is wag-
ing the fight OF his life for control of
the federation He had to take the
stand But had Fosters testimony
come first, Gompers could have con-
demned the strike and stood solid as
a rock with the federation"
House visited old friends in Topeka
for the last ten days He left Friday
night for the west TO do" a story He
expects TO stop here again on his way
east.
Altho the former Topekan IS plainly
in love" with his connection with the
Ledger, he shied at forecasting what
his future will be with the Ladies
Home Journal, with which he signed a
contract to write a. feature page of
'-paragrafs."
Il have a few misgivings about my
insight into the clientele of the Ladies
Home Journal" he said, and only
the experiment and time will show
whether I get away with it"

Forester
az z. s. ALExANpER


Because Bob Andrews was inter.
ested in trees his father suggested that
he become a Forester.
Accordingly. Bob set about obtain
ing information on the subject He
wrote to the Forest Service, Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. c. From this Service he received
many bulletins and circulars. Some
of these were sent him free; others he
had to buy from the Bureau of Doc
unents, Government Printing Office,
Washington, D. c. Among the lat
ter was Circular 207 of the Forest
Service on the subject of The Pro-
fession of Forester" This told Bob
just what he wanted to know about
the opportunities in the profession
He found out that he could enter
the service as a ranger after brief
course III forestry IN school and a
civil service examination in the sub
iect. Or he could take a four year
course and become a professional
forester. Bob chose the latter.
He completed his course in the
school which from government re-
ports seemed to be doing the best work
IN the subject When he finished, he
found FIVE possibilities open TO him.
He could pass an examination and
go into the Government Forest Ser
vice Here he would be engaged in
the conservation and care of millions
of acres of forests owned by the
Government
H could go into the forest service
of some state. Here he would edu-
cate the people of the state to take
proper care of their forests and would
work for laws protecting them.
He could work for . lumber COM
pany, developing plans for the care

FAKE CHARITY BILL
VETOED EX-GOVERNOR
Measure for Murder Case APP
peois Also IL Killed.
Special Despdfch 10 THE sux.

Special Despdfch TO The sUN.
ALBANY, May s.-Because the measure
apparently would not accomplish what
1t aimed to do. Gov. Smith after a hear
ing to-day decided to veto the Ksplan
bill. which was designed to end fake
charities and collections. The bill would
have required all organizations raising
funds for charitable purposes to report
TO the State Board Of Charities showing
receipts. expenditures and the money
turned over 10 the beneficiary.
Representatives Of the American Hu-
name Society. National Allied Relief
Association. French Heroes Fund and
State Board OF Charities said the bill
would be Ineffective as II failed to pro-
vide penalties and might give State sane
ton to unworthy collectors.
Gov. Smith vetoed the bill, which
would have permitted appeals to the
Court OF Appeals in murder cases In
certain circumstances. on the ground
that the measure might prolong in
definitely legal lights TO save a con-
demned man.
THE bill would in any event add ma
terially to the laws delays which have
already brought the administration Of
our criminal Jurisprudence into great dis
repute," said the Governor adding that
the present laws give Governor full
power to grant reprieves until all legal
measures have been taken.
