June IT Meeting Com mitted to Policies Die tated by Communists; Formation of Glass" Party Dominant Idea Foster PrOclaimS.

Washington, D. C., May 10-Commu- mist plans to dominate the St. Paul June
 17 convention to form 'c1ass" politi- cal party are continuously set forth 1T the Communist organs, particularly the Daily Worker and Fosters Labor Her i ald
 The reds point out clearly what seems l to have escaped certain well-meaning per sons who have been dumped into the St. Paul affair. That is that the St. Paul convention IS committed IN ADVANCE upon by the Communists. All who do not fall Ill line with the schenings of the red revolutiOnists are called Labor traitors" by this precious outfit of Mos COW satellites who work with equal inn partiality with the red general staff i'll Moscow, private detective agencies and reactionary politicians in the United States
 Fosters Labor Herald which should be called the Communist Herald ex- plains iii it's May issue the communist proposals. Boosting that the St. Paul convention is to be a gathering of ''the rank and file" (which 1t is not) this Moscow organ goes on to say:
 Tt IS committed in advance to the pro- gram of putting up independent farmer labor candidates i'll the coming election regardless of the decisions of either the Republican or Democratic parties. The bodies which constituted the preliminary conferences and issued the call for the convention consisted of seven already ex- isting far1ner-labor parties including the Federated Farner-Labor Party, to which last the Communists of the Workers Party are affiliated. The class idea was the dominant idea in the conference and the sentiment for welding the whole movement into one national farmer-la- bor party On June 17th is strong and growing among the participants in the arrangements for the convention. That both these factors will grow stronger there can be no doubt The presence in the convention of the Communists. who stand squarely and fight aggressively

Ill LIVES ARE
 DESTROYED. IN
 NON-UNION MINE

Wheeling, w. Va, May 10.-The
 Benwood mine that exploded and
 caused the death of more than 100 | workers Is owned by the anti-union | Wheeling Steel Corporation. The victims were of foreign nation
 alities. They labored iii this mine without the slightest idea of danger. For many years the Benwood mine
 was owned by the Wheeling Steel & Iron Company and was operated under evitable consolidation and the organi- zation of the Wheeling Steel Corpora ton, with it's over-capltalizat1on and scramble fo rprohts on paper" values. With this imitation came antiunion- ism, cheap labor and a disregard of the workers lives.
 At the present rate the year 1924 will make gruesome record for mine deaths. January 25, gas explosion in mine at Jackson City, H., killed 37 workers. January 2, at Shank town, Pa, 43 lost their lives; and on February 5 the bottom of lake over the workings at Crosby, Minn., caved in and drowned Al workers.
 On March 8 a triple explosion at Castle Gate, Utah, killed 1O6 miners and the April 28 explosion of the Wheeling Steel Corporations mine cost III lives.

 labor cannot emphasize too often.
 In a recent speech in the Senate, Sen ator Carter Glass, of Virginia, effect ually disposed of the cry that public in vestigations have no value The follow ing extract from his address, in which he summarized what the Senate's inves- tigations have accomplished is we'll worth reading:
 Tt was a Senate investigation that sent Albert B. Fall to Three Rivers a disgraced man and self-confessed fe1on. It was a Senate investigation that re- vealed the utter capacity and indifference to public obligation of Denby, compelled by force of public opinion to quit the Cabinet. It was Senate investiga- tion that confirmed the popular convic- tion of Daugherty's un6tness by reveal ing an official situation and personal con- tacts which literally shocked the Ma tion and compelled his dismissal from the Cabinet. It was a Senate investi- gation that disclosed the appalling con- dition of the Veterans Bureau, with it's frauds upon the Government, its immoral orgies, its wicked neglect of sick and dis abled soldiers of the World War It was Senate investigation that disclosed the criminal and fraudulent and sordid na- ture of the oil leases which caused the Congress, by sanction of the President himself, to direct recovery of the pub lie domain and the prosecution of the criminals"

Coolidge to Leare
Choice of Running
Mate to Delegates

President Coolidge intends to keep
his hands of the selection of a vice
presidential candidate BY the Repu-
lican national convention. In maxim &
this known to callers at the WhitA
House the President was repre-
sented as saying that he considered 1t
the sole duty OF the convention to
make the choice and that there
should DO no interference.
In following this course the Presi-
dent may send a message to the con-
vention, but 1t will have no bearing
upon the proceedings other than the
suggestion that the delegates them
selves pick his running mate with
out any advice or suggestion from
him. In discussing this the Pres
dent pointed out that a similar course
vas followed by Theodore Roosevelt
in 1904.
The President is impressed with
the fact that delegates to the con-
vention will assemble from all sec
ions OF the country, that they are
far better aoqusiuted with the senti-
nent in their respective sections and
With the desires and wants of their
people. Therefore he would rather
nave them make the choice.

MINORITY OPPOSES
ROADS BUREAU PLAN
Transfer to Interior Department
Is Held Unwise by Democratic
Members.
FAVOR NEW DRY ACT AGENCY
Separate Department for Education
:. Called Important Issue.

The minority report on reorgAniza
aton, signed by Senator Pat Harrison
ind Representative r. Walton Moore,
Democratic members of the joint con-
gresslonal committee, and submitted
yesterday with the majority report, de-
slares: 1T will appear from the hear
ingS that very many of the suggestions
that were submitted TO the committee
by President Harding. as for instance,
that of consolidating the War and
Navy Departments, have been reject
ed because of the conflicting views
OF cabinet officials.
TT has become evident that the ex
pectation of reaching results, which
would bring about any considerable
economy will not be realized 1t Is
believed, however. that a. number Of
the changes recommended may. and
should, tend 70 promote greater CT
ficiency, in the conduct OF the ac
tivity of the government.
Change Is Opposed.
THE undersigned are opposed to
the transfer to the Department OF the
Interior of the bureau Of public roads
The work Of that bureau has proven
satisfactory and no mere theory
In their opinion its retention in the
Department OF AgricuIture will be
a case OF letting well enough alone
,s These W Who are anxious 4o,,; for an u,
OF existing law. whether they APP
prove or disapprove the policy of
prohi ibition, may well consider
whether il would not be desirable to
make the prohibition unit an indie
pendent establishment under the i'm
mediate control OF the President
1T is insisted by those who have
given the subject much 1uNeSti ga tlon
and thought that the new department
which is designed TO be created
Should be confined to education. with
out being charged with the other
duties proposed to be assigned il, and
this also is 4. matter which deserves
serious consideration.
There is another matter OF very
great Importance % which II is
proper to call attention. The Secre-
tary Of Agriculture very strongly
urged before the committee that the
great public domain now under the
jurisdiction Of the Interior Depart
-nent Is being SO devastated that to a
large extent il has already become,
and as 70 the residue is Incoming,
useless for productive purposes, and
should be transferred to the jurls-
diction of the Agricultural Depart
Inent, that its use may be SO regu-
lated as to check the present destruc-
tive processes. He was supported by
Representatives of the agricultural
interests. and there was no evidence to
the contrary.

+ NEW YORK, June lo.--George
, Brennan Of Illinois, Nemesis of the
, McAdoo candidacy for the Demo.
cratic presidential nomination, has
arrived in New York TO join forces
, with Gov. A Smith
Taking up his headquarters on
the eighth floor Of the Waldorf
F. hotel the sturdy Illinois political
leader stripped off his coat rcveil
in a green silk shirt rolled down
his saspenders, packed big cigar
in his mouth and announced lie was
ready for business.
With his arrival thc real work
of dominating n Democratic ticket
may be said to have begun. Smith
headquarters were humming with
activity, the McAdoo leaders were
busily engaged in preparing for Me-
Adoo s arrival. Cox headquarters
were opened at the Waldorf ard the
vanguard OF political leaders were
starting the wheels Of the big con
vcntion machine. Brennan let it
be known at The outset that he
thought McAdoo supporters were
only fooling when they talked of
abrogating the two thirds rule at
the convent ion.
Hardly Possible
If they break the two thirds
rule, y he said with Il smile,
"they II also have to break the
unit rulc-and | don t believe they
would want TO do that. In the first
place, breaking the unit rule would
cost McAdoo many votes now bound
to him by that rule. In the see
ond place, if the rules were abrog-
atcd, it is a fact that minority
$50 votes to be cxaet-could
nominate under certain given condi-
tions. No, | think they're just
fooling.''
AS for the probable outcome of
the convention, Brennan has his
private views, OF which he would
permit no quotations. Clean gov
ernment, he declared, is to be the
big issue of the campaign and the
nominee must be a man, he added,
who can carry that challenge to the
Republicans.
Governor Smith has not decided
who will place him in nomination
but he is considering "womcn as
well as men, lie said today.
The Smith headquarters are some

ating the two third rule and Frank

POISON GAS Is
USED IN EFFORT
END DEADLOCK

PROVIDENCE, Il. l., jane
19.-What is believed to have
been poison ga1 was usea today
in an attempt to break the fill
buster i'll the Rhode Island state
senate which has been in con-
tinuous session since d. m.
Tuesday.
The deadlock is due to Democratic
insistence that Republican members
vote IN favor Of u constitutional con
vention before the annual arpropria-
tion bill is passed and the senate
adjournS. The chair refuses to rec
ognizc Republicans.
Fist fights, lioting on a small scale
and humorous scenes such as when
the speaker, Lientcnant Governor
Loupir, Democrat, was shaved as
he sat in the chair, have marked the
long drawn out battle Of wits but to-
day the climax was reached with the
Introduction Of gas into the cham.
Der
About 7:45 n. m. those senators
who were awake after the long night
noticed 4 strong odor Of gas per-
meating the room. One by one they
started coughing, but 10 one would
leave the room.
a few minutes later Il reporter,
sitting at the press table near the
rostrum, fell over unconscious.
Cry fer Assistance
Lieutenant Governor Ioupin,
swaying to his feet, his head drop
ping, caught at one of his body
guards to save himself from falling.
Two men ran from the chamber cry
ing for assistance and doctors.
Governor Flynn, who was in his
office ut this time, dashed into the
senate chamber, searching about the
rostrum and shifting the air, he
looked under the tables and the
lieutenant governor s chair.
Without waiting to investigate
further, Governor Flynn ran from
the chamber, throwing the papers
into the corridor.
They smelled strongly of what was
declared to be chlorine gas and
chemists were sent for to analyze
the LIQUID with which they had been
soaked.
The senate continued its dead
locked session while Governor Flynn
and the lieutenant governor began
an investigation to determine who
had placed the gas soaked wad under
the speakers seat.
