 Senator Lodge presented alo z pamphlet prepared by the United Mine Workers of America, which he said gave very full account of the activities of the Russian communist party and the third international in undertaking to gain control of Amer ican labor organizations. He said al so that it showed large expenditure of moley in this country by the con- munists.
 AS a further demonstration of the feeling of American labor unions in regard to the communist movement, the speaker read from the letter of last December l3 written by Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, in which MT. Gompers made clear his belief that any compromise with the soviets would be d victory for them.
 Reads Another Letter
 Another document presented by Senator Lodge was a letter written under date of July 12, 1923, to the workers party of America by the ex- ccutiye committee Of the communist It urged greater acti vities among communists in America in organizing the workers and com batting capitalist designs"
 This letter has great importance" said Senator Lodge, flor it demon strates at this very moment the close connection between the communist in tcrnational and the workers party of America. The communist interna- tional, as has been shown, is dominat- cd by the Russian communist party and the party dominates and controls the so-called Russian soviet republic and the whole Russian government. In other words the communist propa- ganda in America comes directly from the government We are asked to rec ognized."
