VICTORY FOR REDS
SEEN IN ELECTION
w. z. Foster, Radical Leader,
Says Public Opinion Has
Grown More Tolerant.
CITES BRIDGEMAN CASE
Charges That Department of
Justice Tried to Work
Up Hysteria.

William z. Foster, head Of the ANAL
gamation movement In the trade unions
and advocate OF the boring from with

fense conference at Beethoven Hall,

movements This new spirit. he said.
was much emphasized by the state Of
public opinion In Bridgeman, Mich,
where twenty-one labor ag.tators are
soon to come to trial Tine people of
Bridgeman and surrounding towns, he
asserted, were remarkably calm about
the whole affair and had not ALLOWED
themselves to be caught by the red
hysteria promulgated by the Depart
ment of Justice men who were working
in the vicinity"
The meeting was an undemonstrative
one, Foster refraining from many OF
his more radical statements. There
was not a uniformed policeman among
the crowd of 300 or more what partly
filled the hall.
Foster asserted that there had been
reaetionary elements of the country to
make the Bridgeman convention appear
as though 1t were a criminal con-
spiracy. In Germany. England, France
and practically all other European
countries, he said, the Communist
parties are allowed to function openly
and above board, whereas in this So
called Democracy" particularly refer
ring to the Red raids in 1918. the Gov
ernment prosecuted the Communist
more viciously than has been done in
any other country.
History" he said, Indicates that no
movement ever gives up it's existence In
the face of force, and when confronted
with this alternative every movement be-
comes illegal. This the Communist party
did. So, if 1t Is an illegal body. the Gov
ernment and the intolerance OF the peo-
pie are alone 10 be blamed. The men
arrested in Bridgeman face prison SEN
tences of ten years for doing what they
could have done without let or hindrance
In nearly every other country In Eu-
rope.
THE real crime of the men arrested
at Bridgeman IS that they are militant
In the labor movement. The capitalists
are determined to put them behind the
bars where they cannot carry on the
work of the various organizations which
threaten the existence OF the profit sys-
tenn. Particularly is the blow aimed at
the Trade Union Educational League, an
organization that is stirring up the or
ganized masses and introduces them TO
the fundamentals of revolutionary prob
lens in manner that has never been
equalled before"
Foster described his deportation from
Colorado. characterizing the State Police
who forced him over the boundary as
"boodthlrsty cossacks." The election
in Colorado. he said, had shown beyond
doubt that the electorate had repudiated
Pat Hamrock, who had ordered his de-
portation-
"It was a great victory for the basic
rights of the people. And unless all
signs fail another great victory will
be won soon In the Bridgeman cases.
Under the able handling of Frank p.
Walsh these cases will certainly be
won"

Tales OF trouble between the rector

bara Tough. a servant in the Hall
home. Is again figuring prominently In
the anonymous reports, sometimes be-
ing mentioned by name and sometimes
being referred to In a roundabout way
The fact that she Joined the guild of the
church is regarded as indicating that
she kept watch on the rector and Mrs
Minis at Mrs. Halls request. That both
she and Louise Geist. the other maid,
were at different times friendly with
Mrs. Mills is being made the most of.
1t was reported to-day that one Of the
maids said at one time: Mrs. Hall al
ways got her nose out OF Joint when
Mrs Mills would send the rector a
birthday or Christmas present or lit
tie remembrances in the name of the
church guild" Then, too, the story of
the quarrel and Halls uEseemly be-
havior at a wedding on the Tuesday be-
for the crime is being both denied and
affirmed.
Mr. Mott and those associated with
him are hoping for what is referred to
more or less technically as "a break"
They believe 1t is possible that the
pressure OF events will bring forward
some one who will tell the whole truth.

Pleads for a Confession.

The local newspaper tonight con-
tained two suggestions that some one
ought to come forward and confess
The first Is in the form OF a short edi-
torial reading:
''It is in the power, of some one to
make clean breast and confession In
the Hall-Mills murder case. Confession
would be good for some souls and would
lift a burden from a very tired public"
The second suggestion along the same
line is in the form OF letter to the ed
itor and reads:
1T has been my desire ever since
read of the Hall-Mills murder to plead
with those who are guilty and those
who know facts in the case not to risk
their souls salvation by lying or taking
bribes.
"God says in the book OF Proverbs.
2S:13, He that covereth his sins shall
not prosper but whose confesseth and
forsaketh them shall have mercy; in

Officials Believe Some One in

Solve Crime.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HnALp
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Nov. "a
On one woman's word will depend the
outcome of the inquiry by the Grand
Jury of Somerset county into the mys-
terry surrounding the murder of the
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs
Eleanor Mills. Mrs. Jane Gibson is to
tell the story that may indict a man
and a woman. and 1t was ascertained
to-day that Wilbur A. Mott, Special
Deputy Attorney General. has vir-
tually no corroboration OF Mrs. Glib
sons statements.
Questioning of some witnesses who
have already been before the Grand
Jury and Of officials shows clearly
that to date Mr.. Mott has not been
able to lay before the Grand Jury
anything not known to the general
public for weeks. Some stories told
are SO old that they have already been
forgotten and therefore appear new.
But actually the Grand Jury knows
no more than the public does.
One unknown witness is being kept
in reserve by Mr.. Mott. but 1t is under

LINKING UP STATE SYSTEMS
Progressive Step Attributed to Re-
qulrements of Federal-Ald
legislation.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
A recent meeting of New England
state highway officials and engineers
Of the bureau Of public roads of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, marks an important point in tn,
development Of highways in this coun
try. This is the first meeting ever helt
between officials empowered to act, fol-
the purpose Of laying out a system OF
highways to serve an area larger than
a single state. 1t is the first of Sc
ries of similar meetings which will be
held between the federal officials and
highway authorities of various groups
Of states, the object of which will be
the solution of the problem for the
vhole country
This progressive step, long wished
for by all users Of the highways, can
be attributed to the requirements Of
sederal-atd legislation. 1t is required
that all federal aid be spent on con
nected system of highways designed
TO serve The needs Of the whole coun-
try. Tentative systems have been sub
mitted by all except eight states, and
now the series of meetings Is being
held to connect and coordinate the
proposed state systems.
The bureau Of public roads intends
to push this work as rapidly as pos
sible, so as to lay before the people
the plans for what will be by far the
greatest highway system in the world
At present only roads certain to be or
the system are being approved fol

LARGE STATE ROAD PROGRAM
South Carolina Wants to Spend 1884,
100000 on improvements In
Next Six Years.

A proposal to spend $34,0OO,O00
within six years and to complete
within that time 1000 miles Of the
state system, more than 800 miles of
which would be hard surfaced and the
remainder surfaced with sand-clay,
top soil, or gravel is to be urged upon
the legislature of South Carolina In
order that this proposal should con-
form to the federal aid acts the state
highway officials recently held confer
ences with representatives of the bu-
reau of public roads Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
If this greatly expanded program is
carried out, the state will match all of
the federal aid money now available
and any future appropriation that
may become available. Funds will be
raised by automobile licenses, by con-
tinuing the state wide two-mill prop
erty tax, a one-cent-per-gallon motor
fuel tax, plus bond issue Of $4,000
