By International Labor News Service Atlantic City, N. J., Sept a.
 Strong condemnation of the Fascist
 movement was voiced by the New Jersey Federation of Labor, in annual convention here. The convention

 "The Fascist movement Is indorsed by all the Chambers of Commerce, , Rotary Clubs and manufacturers Iassociations, who are forever fighting the American labor movement"
 The resolution calls upon all union workers to resist efforts to introduce it in New Jersey.

ABSENT LAND OWNERS CONTROL
 WEST VIRGINIA

Clarksburg, w. Va, Sept 22-One- half of the land in this state IS owned by non-residents. declared former State Tax Commissioner Townsend, in Labor Day speech in this city. The non-residents also own four fifths of the state in value.
 The speaker said the disregard for law by corporations can be traced to these absentee owners who debauch the state, politically and indt dtstrially
 West Virginia has an area of ap- proximately 24,ooo square miles, said Mr. Townsend Reduced to acreage this amounts to I5,36o,ooo acres. Of this 2Io- corporations, none Of whom own les than 10000 acres, own in the aggregate o,o35,o3o acres.
 Add to this 10000 acres owned by corporations in less than 10000 acre tracts, and you have in round numbers onehalf the state owned by Corporations, the great majority ot whose stockholders reside outside the state This one-half of West Virginia, owned and controlled by non-resi- dents who do not have an interest in this state or the welfare of it's people and it's institutions except to exploit 1t, IS worth in dollars and cents five times as much as the remaining one half of West Virginia. The remaining half, which is owned by the small property owner, the farmer, the small business man, the crossroads mer- chant, pays twice the amount of taxes to support the state, county, schools, municipalities, etc, as do the 7,5oo,ooo of acres owned by non-residents.
 "One-ffth the value of the state owned by the people who live in 1t is paying twice the amount of taxes of the other four-hfths owned by non residents. The non-residents who own approximately half the state in acres and approximately four-hfths of the state in value, can well afford to spend $5oo,ooo every four years flo control the executive department of the state government. They are pre- pairing now to spend that much next year while the laboring people of the state are fighting among themselves, disagreeing about insignificant mat ters," said MT. Townsend.
 "The landed aristocracy is carefully laying it's plans to continue it's stran- gle hold upon the state and its peo. pie" 3 .eiM

BY THE WAY Comment and Criticism, About Things Doing in the World.

Walter Duranty, who sends from Moscow to his paper, the New York Times, some of the best bolshevik prop aganda, writes that it goes without saying that the 'Cominterin' (Commu- mist InternationaD spends money abroad for its work"
 This is Important because Duranty knows precisely what the bolshevik leaders are doing. He has their con- f1dence. He continues
 The amount doubtless Is exaggera- ted-indeed the best results have been achieved in Moscow, where foreign com munistS rceive instructions and where chapter and verse examples of what to do and what to avoid are shown them.
 The officials of the Russian govern ment decides that the Comintern's work and money are entirely apart from the Russian government But they ad- init that the communist party controls the Russian government and the Co mintern' is simply the party's foreign or missionary branch. The money it pockets, so that the distinction they at tempt to make is rather Jesultical. for themselves" should know these things before they go-and perhaps most of them do.
 Newspapers are having 1t out with William Gibbs McAdoo, the man who ran almost everything during the war Those were the days when everybody had ten jobs and was looking for more.
 They say that the railroads lost money while McAdoo ran them and that they were improperly managed and all that. The New York Tribune. for example, finds nearly whole column full of fault.
 Now this newspaper doesn't care hang about McAdoo as a politician that is, we're talking now of war days and not of anything that may be in the present political air
 This stuff about what happened to the railroads during the war is sickening. The United States took over the rail- roads-not McAdoo. The United States meaning we, the people-ran the roads to help win the war and we didn't give continental gosh darn whether they made a nicl11e or not.
 If we had to lose a million dollars to get troops and munitions moved, who cared about the million dollars?
 Of course 1t might be-and perhaps should be-said that the active manage ment of the roads during the war was in the hands of the men who managed them before federal control. If the roads ran in debt what was railroad management doing to stop it? Rail road managers would shut up about the whole thing If they had any sense.
 But above all, the roads then were part of the war machine and our war machine was in business to win war. Moreover, it is rather well known that the war was won.
 A committee of the American Bar Association reported to the recent con- vention of that organization that there are about million and a half of reds in this country.
 Keep your hand on your watch, look out for your hat and coat, and keep your bomb proof vest handy!
 A million and half of revolutionists right here among us! By the great horn spoon. has 1t come to this?
 Now, the committee of lawyers to the contrary notwithstanding, things are not so bad. If there were million and a half reds in America the lawyers might we'll stand up on their hind legs and shiver their timbers-but, 'taint so, AL

LEGION MEETS
WONDER TEAM
AGAIN TODAY
Petworth Gives Bullets" Their
First Trimming in Sand
lot Series.
By r. ID, THOMAS.

Washington's sandlot fans today
are buzzing comment on the first de.
feat suffered by the crack American
Legion team in the independent
championship series. Petworth took
the Bullets measure, 6 to 8. but
more interesting, perhaps, will be
the second clash between the Legion
and Petworth this afternoon.
At S o'clock they will line up at
Union. Park, Fifteenth and H streets
northeast, and a merry battle 1t
should be. The Legion could have
clinched the title in Section A of
the unlimited division by beating
Petworth yesterday and today.
In an abbreviated contest, Boyd
Edelin,, Petworth's youthful pitcher,
held the usually hard-hitting Legion
batsmen to three safeties. Mike
Gordon, Petworth second-sacker, was
the smuggling hero with a home run
and single.
Vernon Clatterbuck, the Legion
finger, was little of a puzzle to Pet
worth's valiant youngsters.
The Warwick and Waverly teams
will clash tomorrow at Union Park
in the junior title play-off. Action
will start at $3.50 o'clock.
At a D. m. the Mt. Rainier EN-.
blem Reserves and Ssouthends will
clash on the Union Station plaza
field in the Midget title series.
A victory for the Southends would
give them the championship.

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-THE giant
silver-coated dirigible Fri, flying
ahead Of schedule. passed over the
tip Of Manhattan island, heading
north in an air line above Broad
way at 11:43 o'clock daylight time.)
Three airplanes accompanied the
Fri. Thousands packed roof tops,
and all traffic stopped in the
streets as the great ship continued
its trip uptown.
The airplanes were sent from

come the Fri. They were piloted
by Lieuts: E. II. Barkdale, Clyde
B. Finter. and Newton H. Long
fellow.
Over WOOlwOrth Tower.
AS the dirigible passed over the
WoolwOrth tower, it was flying at
an altitude of $500 feet. Further
up town the ship dipped slightly.
AS the Fri sailed up the bay
off Staten Island, ships in the har-
Dor extended a noisy greeting Of
whistle blasts.
Swinging south at the edge of
YOnkers, the immense ship Of the
air nosed over toward the East
river, following it's line down to the
bay. At the tip of the island it
once more headed north and soon
entered the mouth of the great
canyon on lower Broadway.
The three airplanes from the army
field dipped and twisted about the
monster. To the fleet was added the

The roar Of the great motors of
the dirigible and the hum of the
smaller ships brought wonder-struck
workers from office buildings until
roof tops were black Street cars
were blocked, so great was the press
of the crowds.
1t was a practical demonstration
of what the great ship could do in
wartime. Manned by thirty men and
guarded by fleet or planes, such as
surrounded the monster as it how
cred over Americas greatest city to-

capable of wreaking great destruc-
ton.
AS the navy's monster came
down the East River, it dipped
low, less than 1000 feet above

The crew could be seen waving to

Further investigation showed that
