CALLS FOR PROOF
Fitzpatrick Denies Charges
Reds Are Behind Steel Strike.
VIII Demand War Department

Chicago, Oct. 16.-John Fitzpatrick,
president of the Chicago Federation of
Labor, said today that he would de-
mand of the war department the pub
LEGATION of, the name of every alleged
radical member of the federation sus-
pected of fomenting disorders in con-
nection with the steel strike.
IT have been told that General
Wood has said there is not a scrap of
evidence to connect any of the men ar
rested at Gary, Ind, with any plot OF
radicals" said Mr.. Fitzpatrick. THE
reports that radicals are running the
strike are absolutely untrue. Ninety
five per cent of all those arrested are
men who were discharged from the
steel mills because of their activities
in the union. I believe that all this
talk of radical plots to overturn civil
government and establish soviets is
bunk"
1t was reported today that Secretary
Baker has been asked by organized
abor to send a personal representa-
tive to Gary to investigate the charges
made against radicals. Officials OF
the steel mills at Gary said today thai

At meeting of the club Wednesday

The response which the club made
to this suggestion left no doubt in the
mind of anyone present that the room
would be furnished as soon as the
building was ready and kept as a
room in home would be. And it will
be a cheerful, beautiful room, with

IN new SERVICE
State Oil Inspection Depart
ment To Be ReOrganized.
Governor Allen Has Plan To
Make 1t of Service.
INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS
1t Also VIII Furnish Consumers
With Facts.
Funds of Department Sufficient
for New Work.
INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS

Governor Allen today announced
plans for the. complete reorganization
of the state oil inspection department.
His purpose is to Immediately read
just the work of the department to
provide production information and
publicity service for various fields, and
to continue the established work of
oil and gasoline inspection.
Since the creation of the state oil
inspection department, the Kansas
service has been regarded of little
value to either the producers and
manufacturers or to the consuming
public. The office became a sort of
haven of rest for worthy workers who
preferred union hours and not too
strenuous service. Now Governor AL
len proposes to make the department
of real service to the state atlarge as
we'll as to the investing public and
particularly to communities with real
oil opportunities.
Revenue for New Work.
There is sufficient revenue at
tached to the oil department and the
state inspection law is sufficiently
ment proposed by the governor. He
will send Senator Ben S. Paulen, state
oil inspector, to California, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and other states to study
work of state oil departments. He
will also offer several original sugges-
IlOnS. expense OIL new WOTk To DS
established in connection with the de-
partment will be absorbed by revenues
of the office. After paying current
expenses since the end of the last BIZ
ennium, the department now has a
surplus fund of nearly $4,000. This
money will be more than sufficient to
meet new expenses.
TT is my plan to reorganize the
| state oil inspection department and to
create a real oil department" said
Governor Allen. THE service as car
ried on in Kansas has from the begin
ming been inadequate and of no real
| service. 1t was created in the days
when the inspection of oil in Kansas
/ was necessary to prevent leaving toe
much high explosive in it.
Make 1t of Value.
| k''No one ever thinks of charging
| such a foolish thing in these days. II
| is my desire to make the department
| of value to the state by providing infor-
surveys and information which may be
used both by the general public and

| Governor Allen proposes to suggest
| a number of changes as to the dutie:
| of the department in his message tC

will cooperate with the state geolo,

OUT TO Get HIM
General Martin Tells Why He
Was Relieved.
"Higher-Up Gave Instruc-
tons To "Ditch Him."
OFFICERS WERE BUTCHERED
Were Ordered To Lead Men in
Argonne Offensive.
Facts of Fight Told to ,the
Rotary Club Today. I

II was relieved from the. command
OF the 10th brigade of the 35th divi-
sion on the eve of the great Argonne
offensive because those higher in au-
thority had set out to get me"
This statement was made by Gen.
Charles I. Martin in talk before the
Rotary club at the Chamber of Com
merce this noon and is the first state
ment the Kansas officer has made
concerning his 6emotion.
Martin said that he now has con-
firmation of this statement and feels
at liberty to make it, Hesaid that Of
ficers higher up have told him that
they had instructions to get him. He
says that these officers repeatedly set
him the hardest sort of tasks and that
on every occasion they found their
assignments so well carried out that
no grounds could be even manufac-
tured for relieving him of his COM
mand. He says that finally the high
er ups just arbitrarily removed him.
Officers We're Slaughtered.
Another sensational revelation on
the conduct of the SSH division in the
Argonne fight was made by General
Martin. He said that all brigade and
battalion and regimental officers were
called into conference a short time
before the beginning of the battle and
that they were instructed to lead
their troops over the top. The Tea-
Son assigned for this order by the di-
visionaI commander was that such
action would tend to brace the morale
of the men,
General Martin in his speech today
hotly resented the implication that the
men of the American Army in the
world war were in any need of such a
bracer for their morale. He said that
in all the long months of training the
Officers and mon had been taught that
tho place for commanding Officers
was in the rear of the line where they
could keep in touch with every ele-
ment of their commands. He said the
sudden reversal of the accepted order
of things should have had exactly the
the divisional Commander - except
that it took no account of lack OF
leadership.
Much Decentralization.
As n result of this order General
Martin said that on the third day OF
the battle there was hardly a company
in the division whose commanding Of
ficer was not either Killed or wounded
Two-thirds OF the regimcntal and bat
talon field officers We're out of the
action for the same reason. The unit:

and wrote the bloodiest page in his
