gave the impression In Cannes that he
believed American would participate at
Genoa, but on condition that the agenda
should not include discussion of any
proposal Of cancellation Of the allied
debts to the United States Ambassa-
dor Harvey is known to have approved
tacitly Of the agenda, which DID not
mention the subject of debts. as basis
for Americas participation. From Eu-
ropean comment 1t is impossible to
escape the fact that the interallied debt
problem Is certain to figure in this dis
cussion and is certain to bear on the
resolution offered in the United States
Senate last week by Senator Mccormick
This resolution by Senator Mccormick
apparently has already aroused consid-
erable resentment In Europe. The
French naturally take its reference to
the cost of military establishments as
directed principally against the French
army. and Senator Mccormick is held
up as false friend to France. For
instance. writing In the Bon Soir- to-

The lengths to which soviet pro-
pagandists have gone and are going
to disrupt the American labor move
ment, hopeless task though 1t is.
was revealed to the delegates to the
Cincinnati convention in a dramatic
and powerful indictment of the, SOW
let autocracy by Vice President
Matthew Wolf. In his address Woll
produced what the soviet proponents
had clamored for and doubtless
hoped not to get-evidence OF actual
operations by soviet agents.
How a soviet official followed
President Benjamin Schlesinger from
Russia to New York. demanding that
Schlesinger bring his great organ
ization into the red il.ternationale or
suffer the consequences, was told to
the convention by Vol and con-
firmed by Schlesinger. The declara-
ton clearly came as a shock to the
soviet hackers and as a surprise to
many others.
Woll went on to show that the
soviet autocracy had sought to carry
out It's threat to disrupt the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers-a
battle where the red propaganda
was defeated in a complete rout.
Here is the stenographic report
Of VOLS statement to the conven-
tion-the final blow that left the
minority group hopeless and help
less:
MAY I 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

deceived by the coal company and
that the company had broken a con-
tract which had beer made between
the company and the miners.
1.-THE fact htat the coal company
hard broken it's contract and was be-
ginning to operate and mine coal
contrary to an agreement which was
alleged to have been made with the
miners; the fact that the miners had
been out of employment for three
months: that they were hungry and
that their families were hungry; and
by imported non-union labor; and
the further fact that private guards,
armed with machine guns and rifles,
were parading about the property
Of the company challenging and
threatening all who approached; and
finally, the killing of one of their
number by one of the men in the
mine, all so embittered and enraged
the miners that the more conserva-
tive ones who were trying to settle
the situation in a peaceable way seem
to have lost control, and the more
radical among them took the law
into their own hands,"
Mr.. Denison pointed out that the
mine involved in the tragedy was
wfat is known as "srtip mine." In
such a mine the coal is not taken
out through a shaft or slope. Instead

so as to expose the coal vein. This
makes it an easy matter to blast the
coal and load it into cars for ship
ment to the market.
"All work had been suspended at
all the mines of Illinois for about
three months" Denison continued.
This particular company desired to
proceed with its work of stripping
the vein of coal, removing the dirt,
and getting the tracks ready to mine
and market the coal just as soon as
the strike was ended.
THE company entered into some
sort of agreement with the union
miners that they would only do this
preliminary work, and they would
not undertake to mine and market
the coal. In pursuance of that agree
ment union labor was employed for
doing the work.
"As soon as the company had
stripped the coal and removed the
dirt and completed their other pre-
liminary work they discharged the
union labor and imported something
like SO non-union men from Chicago
and began mining and marketing the
COAL contrary t1 their agreement
with the miners. I can not vouch for
the absolute accuracy of this infor-
nation, but it is the information that
has come to me from my district.
'Those who have not lived in the
center of one of the greatest mining
districts in the United States. where
all the work is done by union men,
and where all the circumstances ex-
listed as I have just described them,
can not appreciate or understand the
feelings and passions that would be
aroused by unloading non-union
strikebreakers armed with machine

at the earliest possible moment,
which he did. And he. comforting
with Mr.. Schlesinser, demanded Of
Mr.. schlesinger that he join sthe red
trade union movement, and If he
declined to do that, immediately he
(tke commisarl would undertake the
urbuilding, of seeding, disrupting
dual body and leave no stone un-
turned to weaken not only himself
(Schlesinger), but the International
Ladies' Garment Workers."
Delegate schlesinger interrupting:
And the officials Of the Ladies'
Garment Workers.
Delegate Woll continuing: "And
Ben Schlesinger as a trade unionist
opened the door and told him to
get out as fast as he could. He went
out. and today the attack is being
made upon the International Ladies'
Garment Workers that was threat
ened. Mr.. Schlesinger. by his own in
terruption, has verified that fact"
In the language of President Com
pers the soviet propaganda, after
years Of effort. effort intensified
during the past year, came to moth
ing.
Overwhelmingly the soviet advo-
Gates were beaten. They had sought
through a carefully conducted cam
paign to break the faith Of Ameri-
can labor, to convert it to the sup
port of the ruthlessness and autoc-
cracy of the Lenine government.
Twice before. in annual conven-
tions, American labor has repudiat-
ed boshevism and the communist in
Russia. This third reputation is the
more important because of the in
cessant propaganda conducted dur
ing the past year, he great final eff
fort to win American labor at any
cost, the vast amount of miSrepre-
sentation resorted to and the alliance
formed with a number of publica-
tions which presume to speak for
the workers.
The fight on this question wars
easily the most spectacular of the
whole convention. The outcome was
decisive. The victory for democracy
was overwhelming.
