TERRIFYING OUT REDS

The statement made on New Years eve by Attorney General Palmer that the department of justice would pursue un- relenting warfare on radical agitators and workers of unrest during 1920 is follow up on that portion of MT. Palmer's annual report to congress sin which he outlined the steps being taken to curb both alien and citizen plotters against the govern |ment.
 The bureau of investigation, under the leadership of MT. A. Bruce Bielaski is in charge of the department activities. Re- garding these MT. Palmer told congress: Unrest and radicalism are rife turnout the world; the United States is not exempt. The department of justice as the law en- forcing agency of the government is deeply concerned with this situation, and the bureau of investigation of the department has probably accumulated greater mass of data upon this subject than is anywhere else available" He also said that out of a total of 365,2 ,295 index record cards, Fl ,000 bertillion records and 262,7l2 finger print records now in the department, some 6O,OOO represented data concerning "reds" and their work Continuing, MT. Palmer said: Altho ordinarily the bureau is concerned with the investigation of individual viola tions of the law, in the matter of the radi- cal situation it has consistently taken the attitude that intelligent investigations of individuals can be accomplished only by a thoro-going understanding of the situation as whole. To this end there has been or ganized in the bureau of investigation division of radical activities,
 "The federal statutes are exceedingly limited insofar as they affect persons of American citizenship engaged in radical agitations. The efforts of this division have, therefore, been largely centered upon the activities of alien agitators with the object of securing the deportations of such persons. To this end very close relations have been established with the office of the commissioner general of immigration. AL ready this policy has shown results and it is believed that in the near future this country may be freed of the presence of a considerable number of undesirable aliens

THE CONFERENCE REPORT

The preliminary report of the new in- dustrlal conference indicates that 1t pro- poses to work along lines tried out with considerable success during the war rath- CT than adopting some new schemes as a cureall for industrial and social unrest. The failure of labor and capital to get together caused probably by lack of confidence Ill one another makes it necessary for some orgs aization to be set up thru which both sides may present their sides to any con trOversy and be assured of a fair hearing. And such an organization to be effective must necessarily have sufficient authority to make its decisions felt.
 The old war labor board was of the nature proposed for the new board. And It had the power to put it's decisions into effect. But under peace conditions and legislation it is probable that the board proposed would have mere moral influence rather than actual power unless special laws were passed clothing it with addition al power. MT. Gompers' objections to the report of the conference arises from the fact that it does not specifically recognize and endorse the resolution presented by tn, labor group at the first industrial confer ence. This resolution which stated: 1.-The right of wage earners to organize without discrimination, to bargain collectively, to be represented by representatives of their own choosing ill negotiations and adiusl ments with employers in respect to wages, hours of labor, and relations and conditions of employment is recognized" was labor's effort to get formal recognition from both the public and capital of the principle of collective bargaining. That it was not definitely recognized by the present con- ference does not necessarily mean that it does not approve of labor's rights to bar gain collectively. The present conference does not contain the group system followed in the makeup of the first one. It is simply a meeting of national leaders charged with formulating some scheme for solving na- tional industrial problems. It suggests the formation of an industrial tribunal or board with certain powers for that purpose and does not find it necessary to bind such a board with definitions of what policy shall be followed in respect to either labor or capital.
 The functioning of the old war labor board is a justification of the recommends tion of the conference. According to the annual report of the secretary of labor made recently to the congress from April 30, 1918, to May 31, 1919, the board receiv- ed 1,270 cases, 25 of which were consolidat- ed, leaving 1,245 cases to be passed upon. Of these, 7O6 (57 per cent) were referred to other agencies having primary jurisdic- tion or were dismissed for other reasons; v G per cent) are pending or remain on the docket as undisposed of because of divided vote or suspension; while in the remaining 462 cases (32 per cent) awards or findings have been handed down. In addition the board made B supplementary

CANDIDATES AT NEW BRITAIN.

Now Britain gave Franklin D. Roosevelt. Democratic candidate for tho Vice F 'esidoncy. and Augustine Loncrgan. candidate for the United States Senate. the sort of welcome men of SUI n high political impor- tance should receive. And the can didatcs responded in l manner worthy of great men.
 Possibly the presence in the great audience at Turner hall yesterday aft crnoon when these mon spoke. or fifty per cent of women, tended to bring q dignity to the occasion and q freedom from any semblance of crudity. At any rate the women were thore and were among the most eager listeners to the talks If women arc to have such an influence every whore. on their entry, into the pol- tical world. another advantageous thing has been gained by granting them the right to vote.
 The substance of the remarks of the speakers is carried in other col umns of today's Herald. One cannot refrain, however. from emphasizing the convincing manner of Mir. Roose- velt's discussion of the League of Nations and the wisdom of the en- trance of this country into such an association in which so many pro- gressive nations of <he world have passed. He cnlivened his address by speaking of personal meetings with prominent men of foreign nations. and he completely won his hearers by his personality.

Legion to Hold Dance.

Arrangements have been made by
the executive committee of the local
Post of the American Legion to hold
dance on Wednesday evening, May
5th. The music for the occasion will
be furnished by the u R. X. of P. or
chestra of Keyser, one of the very
best organizations of its kind in this
section of the country. For the ben
eft of the eX-service men who are not
now members of the Post, an oppor-
tunity will be afforded them to be-
come members as the officers of the
Post will be present at the dance and
will be very glad to give any informa-
ton that may be desired Many of
the young ladies of Oakland have vol
unteered to sell tickets and when they
come to your door don't turn down the
opportunity to help the men who need
your moral and financial assistance.
The organization is yet new for Oak
land and Garrett county, and some
great work must be done. The men
of the post, rather than beg, are en-
deavoring by means of entertain
ments and dances, to accumulate suffi-
eient funds with which to establish
one of the very posts of the Legion in
the State. The town and county needs
the Legion and just now the Legion
needs the help of the town and county.
Do your bit. If you don's dance, come
and hear the music and see what the
men of the post are doing. 1t will be
well worth your time. The dance will
be held in Offutt's Hall.

ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY
The One Hundred and First Year Af-
ter the Founding of the Order
Was Observed Monday Night

The one hundred and first anniver-
sary of the founding of the Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows in Amer
lea was celebrated in a fitting and en-.
Joyable manner by Oak Lodge No. s,
of Mountain Lake Park on last Nom
day night. The meeting was held in
the lodge room of the organization at
Loeb Lynn Heights, which was re-
Gently purchased by the lodge, and
was open to all Odd Fellows, their
wives and friends, and was largely at
tended. Messrs. +. E. Kesner, II. z.
Gibson and Lincoln Calls formed the
anniversary committee and arranged
for an interesting program, which was
given under the direction of Mr.. Kes-
ner, who acted in the capacity of
chairman of the meeting Mr. Albert
I. White was called upon for an adj
dress of welcome after which Messrs.
&. r. Jones and A. T. Matthews and
number of other members of the
order gave interesting addresses and
short talks on Odd fellowship. Ex-
cellent music was rendered during the
evening by an orchestra under the
leadership of Mr.. T. B. DOMAIN. Fol-
lowing the program the committee
produced some excellent refresh
ments which were enjoyed by all.
Oak Lodge has this year entered
upon it's own twenty-fifth anniversary
and in addition to the anniversary ex-
ercises which will be held in July on
the date of the institution of the lodge
il is proposed to celebrate throughout
the year by a large increase in men,
bership and interest. Already num-
Der of candidates have been taken in
the order and there are a number of
applications before the lodge.
The building which was recently
purchased is being rapidly overhauled
and put in first class condition and
within short time the lodge will have
a fine home of its own.
The success of the meeting Monday
night showed that the lodge and its
membership is awake and active and
presaged increased success.

Road Building in Maryland and Penn.
sylvania.

The Meyersdale Republican in its
issue of last Thursday, had the fol-
lowing concerning the construction of
a link of highway connecting the Ma
ryland system with that of Pennsyl-
vania: GAS summer approaches there
is activity all along the line of the
connecting link between the two trans
continental highways passing through
Somerset county-the Lincoln High
way to the north and the National
Road to the south of Meyersdale the
north and south cross-country State
road having Jennertown on the Lin
coin Highway as its northern term
inal, and Little Meadows, or Stone
House Farm, on the National Road,
three miles east of Grantsville, Md,
as its southern terminal. The Mary
land State Highway Department has
just completed the survey for the two
miles of this line on Maryland soil,
from the Mason and Dixon line to the
Stone House, and will start grading in
the near future in order to have that
section completed by the time Penn
sylvania has finished its part of the
connecting line between the two great
transcontinental thoroughfares."
