G0MPERS OPENS
FIGHT ON RADICALS
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 5.-Samuel Com
rers today launched what labor
leaders interpreted as a fight to drive
from the American Federation of La
Dor the radical movement repre-
sented by the. Trade Union Educa-
ton League, including w. z. Foster
and c. E. Ruthenberg.
Denouncing the one big union as
the ideal of men whose slogan was
"Amalgamate or annihilate," Mr..
Gompers said:
IF these men had all the gold of
the capitalist class in their pockets
they could not better serve the capi-
talists to the detriment of the work.
ing man than by doing just what
they are doing"
Despite their efforts, he said, the
American Federation of Labor was
going to maintain the labor move
ment along the logical. rational, nat
ural and historical lines denoted in
the progress Of it's development.
Mr.. Gompers' address was delivered
before the biennial convention of the
United Cloth Hat and Cap Workers of
America. an organization which was
thrown out of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor in 1917 during juris-
dictional fight with the United Hat
ters' Union Of America over who
should be permitted to organize the
milliners.
Although Mr.. Gompers mentioned
no names In his denunciation of
"oliQues within labor organizations"
and declined later to discuss the pro-
gram Of the American Federation Of
Labor drive against what was termed
the radical menace, the labor leaders
said they had been given to under
stand Enthusiastically that the effort
was to be directed against the Educa-
tion League.
Just before Mr. Gompers took the
platform a resolution generally con-
fdemninS radical organizations. within
uniofis was voted unauimously. .

Cuno apparently does not know
that articles AZ. ~ and 429 to 432.
authorize the allies to occupy the left
bank OF the Rhine and the bridge
heads so long as Germany has not
faithfully fulfilled all of her treaty
obligations; he proposes substituting

many signatures have been foreswo orn.

ECUMENICAL COUNCIL
TO BE HELD IN ROME
Many Doctrinal Matters Will Be
Discussed, According to
Vatican Plans.

ROME, May 5.-The first ecumenical
council since the Italians occupied Rome
in 1870 will be held here in 1925, If the
plans of Pope Plus are realized. These
plans include the discussion of certain
doctrinal matters. 1t is possible that
the Protestant churches or some Of them
may be invited. The difficulty is to find
a hall to seat the large number of dele
gates expected.
No hall within the Vatican is spacious
enough and hence it is considered pos
sible that the council may have to be
held outside. But as the Popes pres
ence is absolutely necessary he would
have to leave the Vatican in that event
In the same year-1925-there will
be held in Rome what may be called an
exposition of missionary activities. In
this, the church authorities, growing
modern. will exhibit with ali the skill
of present-day advertisers the work ac-
complished throughout the world by
more than 400 missions.

THEFT BUREAU URGES
OWNER TO KNOW CAR
Many Stolen Machines Could Not
Be Identified.

A comprehensive report of auto
thefts for the last year just issued by
the theft bureau of the Automobile
Club of Southern California shows that
year by year there are more cars be-
ing stolen.
In southern California during 1922
there were nearly 100000 worth of
automobiles taken by thief gangs. 1t
Is believed that this tremendous activ-
ity Is conducted by professional groups
of thieves organized on a commercial
basis, although a certain per cen of
the cars are taken for joy riding pur-
poses.
There were 2,7S8 machines stolen in
Los Angeles alone during 1922, as COM
pared to 2,572 taken in 1921. The fig
ures for 1921 show a material advance
over those of 1920. according to the
theft bureau report.
An investigation of the facts relating
to the theft of each automobile shows
that in most instances the car was
stolen because the owner failed to lock
it or even left the keys In the lock.
Such carelessness as this encourages
the stealing of machines throughout
the state, say the authorities. Al
though the greatest number of car
stolen have been recovered, great diff
fcuIty has been experienced in getting
them back because the owners could
not give proper information to the de-
tectives In identifying their property.
even falling to know their own license
or engine numbers.
Every motorist should place private
Identification marks somewhere on his
car in a place where the thieves are
not likely to find and destroy it. 1t is
hoped to cut down the number of
thefts during 1923.

YEAR OF ADVANCE
Canada Rightly Proud Of Its
Achievements in 1922.
Has Braveiy Met and Overcome De-
preston Following the War-Finan-
ciaI Standing as Nation High.

The year 1922 in Canada, Western
Canada particularly, has been a year
of quiet achievement. If there has
been nothing in its development of a
spectacular nature, there has beer a
steady growth, a resolufe elimination
of things immaterial to prosperity.
The year 1923 is entered upon by
the people of the West in high hope
that it ushers in a perisd of prosperity
based upon the productivity of the
country and the vast riches Of its
natural resources.
Canada, in common with all other
nations, has felt keenly the cycle OF
depression following the spurious
activity and inflated business coming
Immediately after the cessation of the
war. 1t has me and overcome many
obstacles in the path of its prosperity.
The year just passed, however, has
seen the silver lining peep out from
the edges of the dark cloud and has
demonstrated to the world the CELEBRITY
changed conditions. This is evidenced
by the fact that Canada has been
the first among I'll countries whose
currencies fell below par to bring that
currency back to par, and even for a
time above par. 1t did this in the face
of what seemed insuperable difficult
ties, increased its exports, lessened its
imports, and generally set its business
house in order.
The high standing of Canada as a
nation is shown by the cas- with
which her bonds are absorbed and by
the high prices paid for them, and
Winnipeg, tit may be mentioned, in a
recent ~fiotation obtained a higher
price than even any provincial govern
ment for some time.
Western Canada in 1922 harvested
it's largest grain crop. It's production
of grain, live stock, cereal and dairy
products will, when all is marketed,
lion dollars. There has been, and
there still is felt considerable disap-
pointment that the total value is not
larger, but the fact remains that this
vast sum of money has come to the
West. or is in the process of coming,
and if, as is undoubtedly true, much
of it is used in the liquidation of obli-
cations incurred in the past, it is but a
safer and saner, if longer, road to hat
prosperity to which all are looking.
In the process of reaching this pros
perity it is inevitable that there must
be some failures.
AS a matter of fact, it is Tire opinion
of many prominent business men that
1922 saw the corner definitely turned
and that 1923 will commence the up

and Truck Using Corporations
Are Helped.

Good roads are vital to all sections
of the country. Contrary to common
conception. the wealthy tourists and
truck using corporations form only a
small fraction Of those who are urging
better highway transportation.
Better roads will benefit two great
classes, 100000 of farmers who are
dependent upon their automobiles, and
as many more city dwelling families
with incomes of less than $4,000. who
with the farmers own two-thirds Of
all the cars sold.
Purely as an investment, better
roads will pay regular and substan-
tial dividends which every enterpris-
ing community cannot afford to lose.
Better highways mean better trans
portation and better communities.
