REDS TRY TQ USE
 LABOR PRESS TO
 SPREAD DOCTRINE
Results Of Survey Of Efforts At Propaganda Presented
 By Samuel Gompers

WASHINGTON, May 12-soviet Russia is trying to spread revolu- tionary propa ganda through the American labor press, Samuel Com pers. president of the American Fed eration of Labor, told the fedora tion's executive council today.
 Gompers presented results of an extensive survey of efforts to use the labor press for propaganda pur- poses, declaring labor publications in most cases had rejected 1t.
 Two main conclusions were set forth in the report of the survey. They were:
 versive material" Is furnished to trade. union publications regularly. A comparatively small amount is pub lished.
 ?. The propaganda is of two kinds that of employers and the so- called red" or revolutionary brand
 The great bulk of material hos tile to the trade union point of view Is furnished by organizations of communists and those sympathizins g with the communist, pro o-soviet, anti American point of view" Gompers said This red propaganda would be almost entirely without chance Of under names which properly de- scrihed the organizations backing the propaganda"
 O O o
 Mostly Pro-soviet.
 The report of the survey said that labor papers receive about 25 differ ent sets of propaganda publicity each month, most of it distinctly pro-soviet in character" The Friends of Soviet Russia, the Workers Par ty, the American Civil Liberties Union, National Labor Alliance for Trade Relations With and Recogni- ton of Russia, the Trade Union Edu- cational League "and various so- called labor defense organizations were named as some of the sources
 Some of the propaganda, Gompers said, Is put out under misleading la bels.
 For example" he said, "the Young Workers League Is In reality an or ganization of young communists, as clearly appears from its publication, the Young Workers, but its name mi ght make 1t acceptable to many who would not be interested if its name were the Young Communist"
 Gompers said the great danger In the dissemination of red" propa- = ganda was that the Nlabor press "mght begin using more of it.

Furs Which Are Used on FrOcks
BY ANNE RITTENHCUsE.

Flying squirrel has come into an
important place as a trimming fur
both for frocks and coats of cloth
and as collars and cuffs for wraps
of other peltry. Hare and astra-
khan are other furs that French
dressmakers are using in consider
able quantity for decoration or
frocks.
Red fox is still smart. One OF the
most attractive ideas thus far Of
fered for autumn is the black velvet
gown trimmed with red fox collar,
cuffs and landings. Mink has also
found a place as trimming FUR ana
sable is certainly not in the discard.
Ordinary squirrel, as Well as the ny
fur and has been used effectively In
one instance to form ten bands
around a circular sl>irt-slightly tilted
1lp at the left side. The sleeves show
five bands of the squirrel gong
around about the fiaring lower half.
There seem to be just two preva-
lent sorts of fur-trimmed sleeves on
frocks and wraps-sleeveS that
gradually flare from a tight shoul-
der to a wide cuff trimmed with
wide band of fur, or sleeves that are
snug from shoulder to wrist, In
which case the fur is applied as
wide deep cuff of almost muff-like
proportions. Occasionally there is q
frock with short sleeves ending above
the elbow edged with a wide band or
fur. The fur-trimmed frock almost
always has wide band of fur around
the hem or around the edge of a long
!unic. Occasionally both skirt and
runic are edged with the fur and
sometimes only the front of the
tunic is fur trimmed. carrying out
the idea of the season to coniine

Yield Gracefully or Not at All.

Now as touching the brother Apol-

not at all his will to come now; but
he will come when he shall have op-
portunity-I' Cor 1912.
st. Paul wanted Apollos to go on a
mission to Corinth. But Apollos was
not at all willing to go.
So Paul yielded gracefully about the
immediate mission. And Apollos
promised generously that he would go
at the first opportunity.
Was not this a pretty way to settle.
or rather to prevent, a quarrel rising
from a clash, of Wills?
Observe, Paul says nothing about
his reasons for wishing Apollos to go.
or Apollos' reasons for wishing to
stay.
He does not say that he was right
and the other man wrong.
He does not revive the difference
or repeat the controversy.
He merely says that he gave way,
and adds that Apollos will come later,
as If to assure the Corinthians that
Apollos is not unfriendly.
In a dispute which can be settled
only by one will yielding to another.
do not make the concession grudg-
ingly, for that will leave a grudge.
Do not repeat the discussion to your
neighbors, for that may leave feud.
Above all if it turns out that You
were right, do not say, l told you so.
Let the other man find that out for
himself.
To yield gracefully is the only way
to get the good of yielding.
