GOVERNMENT DROPS PROSECUTION PLANS
 IN COPPER STEAL"
Connecticut Brass Co.'S Books So Manipulated Facts Cannot
 Be Reached.

Hartford, April 2I.-Bccause the books of the company were manipu- lated, complicated and confused that it would be impossible to get at the bottom of the facts, the Connecticut Brass x Manufacturing Company of Waterbury will escape prosecution on the charge that 1t "misuSed'' more than a million and a quarter pounds of copper furnished 1t by the govern ment duirng the war to make import ant war materials such as truck and airplane radiators, cartridge clips and other things vitally necessary at the time The decision to drop the pro- secution was made this week by Dis trict Attorney Edward l.. Smith when he threw up his hands in despair of ever getting anywhere in real evi- dence
 The copper was valued at $343,- 588.I8 and was supplied by the gov ernment early in 1918. It was sent to the plants of the company in Waterbury and West Cheshire but when a check-up came it was learned that more than a million and quar- ter pounds had been diverted some how or somewhere.
 The corporation is now being con ducted by William H. Coverdale of New York city, receiver by appoint ment of the United States district court of Delaware, and MT. Smith said that the records kept by the corporation prior to the receivership were so complicated and confused that it was difficult to fix the responsi- bility on individuals The receiver has contended from the start that the missing copper was gone when he took charge in September, 1918, while the former officers of the corpora tion have maintained that it was there when they left.
 Harry w. Goddard of Worcester was president and Henry Ward Beecher of New York city, secretary of the corporation prior to the re- ccivership. Charles P. Lyman of New York city was vice-president and managing director. Boh he and God dard resigned before the receivershiE Lyman later gave as his reason for leaving a statement that manipula- ton of the corporations stock de prived him of the working capital necessary to operate the plants.

THE PALACE

Pauline Frederick, who comes to the Palace for three days beginning Monday in her latest drama of the screen, "The Lure of Jade," has earn ed one of the most commanding posi- tions among stars of the visualized drama. In the coming Palace screen attraction Miss Frederick proves be- yond doubt that she rules as queen of dramatic expression by her splen did performance. The Lure of Jade" is story that provides the star with wide and varied emotional opportun- tiles. The cast supporting Pauline Frederick in Lure of Jade" is a not able one.
 Palace vaudeville for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday has every indication of being a mighty pleasur able combination. The musical com edy element and also the headline at traction of this bill are supplied by Nat "Chick" Haines and his brilliant company in Yes, My Dear" Here is provides as much entertainment and stage pleasure as the most of it's big brothers do in two hours and a half. Bobby Barry will recall to old timers the days of his father, the famous Irish comedian of Barry and Fay. Bobby has followe dhis fathers foot steps and has become one of the lead ing comedians in vaudeville.
 Right funny are those two Italian comedians, Lewis and Rogers, whose act, "The Tonsorial Artists" is choice bit of character. Dick Duffey and Adele Keller do a little two" act which they have called Via Tele- phone" Harry Miller and Peggy Frears have a little skit which they call Go Back on the Stage" Dune din and Fay in an exceptionally clever wire novelty will start the good things going. There will be com plete change of the Palace program on Thursday.

CIVIC FEDERATION WARNS LABOR ABOUT
 FOSTERS ATTACKS
. Finds Well Laid Plot to Cause Dis sension in Locals to Break
 A. F. of L.

The National Civic Federation, certainly not affiliated" with the American Federation of Labor, after a careful investigation has issued charges that Lenine, while making appeals for American help at the Genoa conference, has set propaganda afoot in this country destined to cor rupt American Labor and establish a workers republic" here. This sim ply bears out the charges made by President Gompers here on Sunday and many times before that the Bol- shevists of Russia sought the destruc- ton of the A. F. of l.. as a first step toward attacking the institutions of this country The Civic Federation adds that the drive here is being conducted by w. z. Foster at Chi cago, as was similarly charged by MT. Gompers week ego.
 The scheme as the Federation learns it is to put 1000 labor men at work each in his own locality, to fo- ment trouble, arouse discord and gen orally to weaken the American Fed eration of Labor. One of the chief aims is to oust Samuel Gompers as president because of his protest against recognizing Soviet Russia. OCCOuOdly y, Dul Just dS Slldl, lS tllC "capture" of the railroad brother- hoods, it is declared.
 Foster returned from Moscow last fall," said the officials of the Fedora ton in a statement, with the Lenin program, and, apparently, plenty of money with which to conduct an ex- tensive as well as intensive campaign. This plan, the most scientific and plausible yet evolved on paper for revolutionizing legitimate labor or ganizations, contemplates the selec- ton as Key men of 1000 disaffected, revolutionary trade unionists in as many localities, who in turn are to round up all brother rebels in their respective unions. Then the boring in process is expected to start.
 That is, they are to attend faith fully all meetings of their crafts, cm- bracing every opportunity to create friction, oust present leaders, acquire office and play the disruptive game generally. Of course, they will cap ture neither the American Federation of Labor nor the railroad brother hoods, but they will make trouble to the fullest extent through the oppor- tunities offered by the coal strike, the textile strike or any other large cap 1tal and labor controversy. The pub lie should bear this fact in mind when reading press reports of violent out breaks
 ''The spirit Of the LeninF Foster movement is revealed by the follow ing paragraphs of Call to Action, published in the Chicago Labor Her aid, Fosters organ:
 'Miitants! The time has come for action. We must now gird up our loins for a great effort to make a real fighting organization out of the trade union movement. We must now plunge directly into our vital task of amalgamating the many crafts unions into a few industrial unions and of inspiring them with genuine proletar- ian spirit.
 "'The Trade Union Educational League has launched it's nationwide campaign to organize the militants everywhere to carry on this indispen-
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-04-21

sable work of education and re-or- ganization, work for which the hard pressed labor movement stands in shrieking need. All trade union rebels are urged to join hands with the league immediately.
 The trades union,' continued off cials of the federation, Twill doubtless answer this ambitious program by throwing all these key men out of the unions as fast as they can be dis covered. The process will not be a slow one, as most of them are already we'll known.
 The true significance of the Lenin- Foster movement lies in its revelation of the real Bolshevist attitude toward American institutions, thus serving notice on all good citizens to be pre- pared to resist this malevolent inf1u- cncc at any and every point
