RED THREAT IS EXPOSED
DATES COMMUNIST MOVEMENT -SCHLESSNGER CON
FIRMS CHARGE THAT LENINE AGENT THREAT
ENED TO DESTROY GARMENT WORKERS
Bhevis Advocates Overwhelmingly Defeated in Lbor
and SiIenced When Facts Are Told to Public

The lengths to which soviet propa-
gandists have gone and are going to
disrupt the American labor move
ment, hopeless task though it is, was
revealed TO the delegates to the Gin
cinnati convention in a dramatic and
powerful Indictment of the soviet au-
tocracy by President Matthew
Vol. In his address Woll produced
what the soviet proponents had clam
ored for and doubtless hoped not to
get evidence of actual operations by
soviet agents
How a soviet official followed Presi-
dent Benjamin Schlessinger from
Russia to New York, demanding that
Schlessinger bring his great organi-
zation into the red internationale or
suffer the consequences, was told to
the convention by Woll and confirmed
by Schlessinger The declaration
clearly came as a shock to the soviet
hackers and as a surprise to many
others.
Woll went on to show that the So
Wet autocracy had sought to carry
out its threat to disrupt the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers a
battle that had its dramatic climax in
the recent convention Of that organi-
zation where the red propaganda was
defeated in a complete rout
Here is the stenographic report of
Woll's statement to the convention
the final blow that left the minority
group hopeless and helpless
May | submit this as a statement
of fact that may be verified in this
convention, and which, l think, will
indicate clearly that if that course
is possible and is followed we may rest
assured that there are other similar
agencies at work within the trade
union movement.

New York. Attempts to enforce the
railroad labor boards wage cut is con-
trary to law, according to statement
issued by the research department of
the social service commission of the
federal council of the churches Of
Christ in America.
1t is declared that the reduced
rates bring the earnings of large
number "below the level of a mini
mum living standard"
While government officials pledge
their aid to break the strike and rail
road managers who have Aouted the
board howl for obedience to the
award, the church men present this
cool analysis OF the situation:
''These reductions will establish
wages Approximately as follows:
Maintenance of way employees, %
to 35 cents per hour, with an average
for the group of 327 cents per hour.
For a full year Of employment the
total average earnings would amount
to $8l744. AT the minimum rate
set, 23 cents per hour, for full time
the workers would receive $574.08 per
year.
"Thc decision covering the shop
craft employees establishes an hourly
rate Of 10.3 cents per hour for ma
chinists and GA cents per hour for
ear men. These rates mean for the
machinists $1,75344 for full year
Of employment, including holidays
but not Sundays For the car men
the wage rates established by this
award means $1,G0742 per year OF
full time employment, including holi-
days but not Sundays
1T is perfectly patent that the wage
reductions ordered bring the earnings
Of large numbers of employees below
the level of minimum living stand

bolderisn and the communist regime
IN Russia This thira repudiation IS
the more important because of the
incessant propaganda conducted dur
ing the past year the great final
effort to win American Labor at amy
cost. the vast amount Of misrepre-
sentation resorted 70 and the alliance
formed with a number Of publications
which presume to speak for the work
els.
The fight on this question was
easily the most spectacular Of the
whole convention The outcome was
q decisive victory for democracy.

and if he declined to do that imme-

LONDON. Sept. 19.-Submarine cabling is not in danger of being superseded by wireless transmission. if one may judge from the activities of cable companies since the armis- tice One European company has laid over 28,000 miles of ocean cable in the past three years, and 1t is be- lieyed that American companies have done as much in other parts of the sea.
 Today the world is encircled by 325. 900 miles of electrified ropes that carry messages from man to man. Fifty years ago there were only S,.0O0 nautical miles of cable. On the mod ern routes duplicate triplicate and even sextuplicate cables are proyid- ed. end the entire system is linked up by alternative and circutous lines. so that if interruption occurs on one artery another may be quickly pressed into use. Land lines that link these ocean cables into one vast network constitutes the nervous sys- tenn of the civilized world.

President Harding Vetoes
 Soldiers Bonus Measure

WASHINGTON, Sept. l9.-Presi- dent Warren G. Harding has vetoed the soldiers bonus measure.
 In returning the measure to the House this afternoon without his approval, the President in a message declared he is in accord with the purpose or the bill but could not subscribe to its provisions.
 Outlining his reasons for his veto, President Harding said Congress failed first of all to provide revenue from which bestowai could be made. a President Harding declared the Ultimate cost could not be estimated definitely but the Treasury Depart ment figured total of $75O,O00,- 900 for the first four years with final charge of $4.000,0 900.
 President Harding asserted the proposed service certificates substi- tuted for the original cash payments would contribute borrowing on the nations credit and will be as truly as though the loans were made dl- rect by the government borrowing.
 The President asserted that It is most essential to remember that more than the $4 900, 0,000,0 900 pledge to former service men would not diminish later obligations to the veterans to which the country is already committed, such as giving agricultural lands, taking care or the indigent and dependents.
 This would cost more billione than I venture to suggest, added the President.
 More than two-thirds majority is secured to pass the bill over the veto but roll call was postponed until to- morrow on motion of Representative Mondell, Republican leader.

perfection of wireless as means 0t disseminating the worlds thought. It was believed at one time that the submarine cable soon would become obsolete; but the fact is that the business of the ocean telegraph com panies has increased by leaps and bounds until today there are scarcely sufficient cables to carry the enor- nous volume of messages daily sent across the Five Oceans and under
 he Seven Seas It is apparent there
 is ample room for both forms of telegraphy.
 The development of the submarine cable reads almost like romance. As in so many of the worlds other modern miracles and inventions It was an American-Cyrus w. Field who was the pioneer in the industry. In 1858 he laid the first cable be- tween Newfoundland and Ireland. This line was 2.500 miles long and the wire weighed one ton to the mile.
