ORGANIZED LABOR IS
POUNDING RADICALS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-(A. P.)--
Direct steps to eliminate radicalism
from any control in organized labor
and to meet the menace of increasing
unemployment are being taken by the
American Federation of Labor through
its executive council in session here
, Already decisive victory over radical
elements within the organization has
been achieved at one point. and the
tar-reaching nature of the conferences
/ of the council for a week past, deal
! ing with economic problems, appeared
last night to foreshadow some action
looking to closer cooperation between
labor and capital to meet unemploy-
ment.
Conservatives Pound Question
Conservative leaders in the fedora
tion have pounded away on the radical
question for several months, insisting
On a more determined stand by the
controlling body, but reports increasing
Unemployment have not brought that
subject into a position of equal i'm
| portance.
Although leaders were reticent to-
day, it developed that there was a feel
| ing among certain members of the
council that it should deal emphatical-
| ly with the attempts of radicals to
bore from within. They were said to
feel that conservatism must character
ize labor's leadership.
Recognize safer Policy
This sentiment was based on two
| premises, first that organized laber
cannot hope to exert great power in

thereof There is no doubt in the world that the
commissioner has profited politically in this way
The commission expresses no opinion as, to wheth-
any has profited financially. But they do
add, Opportunities have no doubt all along eX-
listed, not only in connection with the sale of
oil leases but in connection with approvals Of all
kinds for the employees in the office to profit
through knowledge gained in the transaction of
their official duties. Whether or not anything of
that kind has actually been done we not pre-
pared to say, and believe it can only be finally
determined by judicial inquiry"
viii the Attorney General take this gentle tip
from the commission and proceed to get busy?
There are many things in this report regarding
the land office which wish to discuss from

"a very funny habit they have,

CLERKS ARE RUNNING THE LAND OFFICE

Those who thought the Journal personal and
prejudiced when it designated the commissioner of
the land office as honest but incompetent should
revise their judgment in the light of the report of
the Special Revenue Commission. Twice the com
mission says in its report that the land office is
virtually without head and is run by bunch of
clerks
This statement from the commission should
startle the people of New Mexico. The property
of our school children. held by the state as a
sacred trust and of vastly larger proportions than
the business Of any bank in the state, run by
group of clerks What has become of our sense
both of humor and of honor If we continue to toll
crate such condition? Such neglect on the part of
voters is nothing short of criminal. The people are
the trustees the land commissioner is merely their
chosen agent.
Referring to the public lands the Hagerman
commission says: while the administrators of this
great trust must give due weight to considerations
of how the disposal Of the land is to effect the
business and economic interests of the people,
their controlling guide in that administration should
convinced always be the best interest of the
beneficiaries of the trust for which the state is
acting as trustee. This point of view has not we
believe, been constantly enough borne In mind by
those entrusted with the selection, administration
and disposal of these lands. On the contrary study
indicates that the office has not kept this
aspect of its functions sufficiently in mind"
Continuing they say: 1.-THE Assistant Commits
soner, Capt. Muller. very largely exercises the
functions that should be exercised by the com
missioner; the latter is away great deal of the
time and practically questions are put up to
him for decision"
The commission then says that in one fund
in the hands of the land commissioner is the sum
of $317 61525 deposited in banks without interest
This fund has at times been as large as ST60.poV.
In another fund, the commission, is S27l6lo'f4
handled in a similar way. This money could DE
made TO earn $3.50 per year on time deposit yet
the Journal is hypercritcal because finds faults
with such system. .

facts with experts. Yet our political critics

lack of confidence in the management of the office
is extremely apparent. The report contains repeat
ed statments like these: According to, the state
ment of the Assistant Commissioner" i.If this is SO
it is a good policy" 1T s now stated by the land
office that the office should have collected inter-

great weapon of the wicked capitalist?

Several days ago, we diagnosed D'Annunzios

make The Giornae dItaa, of Rome fears that
the affair may resolve itself into a tragedy.
