TAKES PARTING

ing Politics.

Nashville, Dec 3l.--(Special.)- )--Louis
l.. Allen.' chief factory Inspector who
handed in his resignation TO Gov.
Roberts several weeks ago, charging
the governor with playing politics with
his department and giving this as his
reason for resignlng. today handed his
annual report to the governor on the
eve of his leaving office tomorrow. The
report reveals nothing startling nor re-
markable ard concludes with "A slap at
Gov. Roberts because of his opposition
to certain labor unions in regard to
law and order. IT is said that the real
reason behind Aliens resignation was
Roberts position against these unions.
The conclusion of the factory in
spector's report says: Il grant you
that in the heated imaginations of
some of our representatives of the
great law an dorder movement there
have existed visions of disaster and
destruction as the result of some
really tame labor disputes that We're
altogether unwarranted. AS a matter
OF fact the SUCCESSFUL work of the labor
department in pacifying and aligning
the elements of industry in Tennessee
by the perpetual process of co-opera-
ton it has heretofore induced, has
found its only dangerous obstacle in
the policy of certain influences that
could not seem to find anything good
in the labor unions or else in the
moneyed employers and reaped con-
tumely and condemnation constantly
on one or the other.

Washington, Il was disclosed today.
AS the special representative OF

was to be effected.
Senator McNary expressed sur
prise that the reservations should bt

cially as neither Canada nor Austria

tion to it, although it had been pro-
posed by Lenroot as a substitute fol-
the defeated Johnson amendment
weeks ago. Senators McNary. Len
root and other republican senators
working for early ratification did moi
attach much importance to Senator
Hitchcock's, taking the same view oi

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 31.-H. Fl.
Rodenstab. fusion candidate for con-
gress in the Fifth district. special cleo
ton, will contest the right of Victor
Berger to take his seat. Announcement
of the contest was made today after
notice had been served on Mr.. Berger
in Chicago last night.
The basis of the contest is that Mr..
Berger is DISQUALIFIED from holding the
office and that votes cast for him were
void.
Mr.. Bodenstab stated that his contest
will be brought in the house of repre-
sentatives.
"The first basis of the proceeding is
that a person who is notoriously dis
qualified and ineligible cannot be voted
for. and that votes cast for such a per-
son are of no effect and that it re-
suits in effect in a negation rather than
an election" said Mr.. Bodenstab.
The second basis is thatAny person
found guilty of felony loses his right
to vote and that in this state any Iel
son who has been deprived of his tight
to vote also loses his right to hold Of
