they had tried to control him. The

he met with the federation because he

Mr.. Ellis put into the record the
minutes of the Detroit convention, and
Martens translated a line or two Of
the Russian for the committee.

knowledge that eventually my work

to the Detroit convention of the Fed
Grafton began.
Martens denied that he had ever said
this, adding that he had protested
vigorously to the central committee
when he saw the minutes.
Martens objected frequently, and the
committee finally allowed him to give
his own version of his speeches at
Detroit.
"The other report is purely imagin-
ary," Martens said, made in an en-
deavor to misuse my position to the
advantage Of the federation. Thev were

to vote, as he refused to accept Sena-

And Mr.. Lunn and his little band Of

The Wadsworth people have

Schurman's name came to the front
DR.. Schurman turned in his resignation
