ANTI-SEDITION
GAINS SUPPORT
|NcONMITTEE
Csiipers Attacked By 1lan-
Ton For Opposition And De-
,,artnent Of Labor Said To
Be Nest OF Anarchy"

washington, Jan. 24.-Enactment
:, anti.sedition legislation was urged
S3fore the house rules committee to-
law nv Representative Blanton, DEM
go, ~ Texas, and Davey, democrat.
onIo The Texas member vigorously
st,acked President Gompers of the
,s,Ariean Federation of Labor for his
onnosition to such legislation and
charged that the department of la
hor was "honeycombed with anarchy
Asserting that Mr. Gompers had
not been patriotic during the war, Mr..
Rlanton charged that when Provost
Marshal General Crowder issued his
work or fight" order the labor lead
ar openly opposed it, declaring he
would call a revolution" Blanton
added that six thousand strikes occur
red in this country during the war
and that at times President Wilson
had to compel men to work"
Congress must either pass sedi-
ton law which would squelch anar-
civ or else bear the mark of having
bowed to Gompers," Mr.. Blanton
said. He added ''it is simply a ques-
ton Of whether you want to be re-
elected"
Attacking the department of labor,
Blanton said he hoped the republicans
would be victorious in the coming
presidential election "if it is impossi-
bic to obtain democratic cabinet Of
fieer who stands for Americanism."
The republicans will win any way"
Chairman Campbell interjected.
Not II you vacillate on this bill"
Representative Blanton retorted. The
people won't stand for you bowling to
GOmpers."
Representative Davey, who introduc
ed Attorney General Palmer's anti-se-
dition bill last November, told the
committee he was a friend of labor
until it joins hands with anarchy"
Dayey criticized the American Fed
eration of Labor for participation in
the Boston police'strike, but said Mr..
GOmpers was the dominant influence
which stood between organized labor
and anarchy.

HOOVER CALLED
.CO-BET WEEN
FOR BRITISH.
Senator Reed Declares For
mer Food Administrator So
/ Close To London Powers
+. As To Be Connecting Link.

Washington, Jan. 24-Chargino that
herbert Hoover was zone of the 60
between of Colonel House and mem
oers high in the British government
during the negotiations preceding the
entry of the United States into the
war, : Senaor Reed. democrat. Missou-
H. launched vigorous attack today in
the stnate against what he Character
lied as Mr. Hoover's "semi-promoted
boom for president"
Senator Reed said Mr.. Hoover was
sa close to the British government that
he constituted convenient connect
ing INK and challenged any member
OF the senate who doubted his state
mentt introduce a resolution of in
vestigation.
Never Voted Here.
Declaring that Mr.. Hoover "served
a tutelage all of his adult life" in the
British service, Senator Reed said
Hoover never cast vote in the I'm
tied States, unless he had voted since
this war to qualify himself"
When he was asked as to what
party he belonged he said he thought
he was liberal" said Senator Reed.
Apparently he hasn't been in the
United States enough to know the
names of the political parties in this
country and has to designate himself
as a liberal, a British political or
ganization."
Il think Mr.. Hoover's nomination
would put the finishing touch to the
League Of Nations and that the
league would surrender the sovereign
ty of the world to the British en-
pire," the senator continued.
Would Give Control.
In addition to her own votes Great
Britain would control the votes of
Portugal, Freeze, France and Belgium
in the league, Senator Reed said, ad-
ding that Belgium twas in no con-
dition to resist Great Britain's i'm
perious will'' and that France, accord
ing to high French officials, had ad-
mitted that she was dependent on
the British army and navy for pro-
lection against German attack.
senator Reed said that If a Brit
ish controlled League of Nations were
to be established, this country ought
to have as nearly a British subject as
possible to represent it 80 why not
Mr.. Hoover"
Referring to reports that Mr..
Hoover made $1O.OO0,OOO before he
was 80 years old. Senator Reed said
he was "get rich quick" and turn
ing to Senator Lodge, the republican
leader, declared that if Mr.. Hoover
were nominated for the presfoenuy
the only thing that could save the
republican party from defeat was for
it ito nominate J.. Rufus Walllngford"
Then we'lI have two horses bred
alike" he added.
