To Tell Of Shoals

DETROIT, Mich, May 9-Henry
Ford has defied the foes of his Muscle
Shoals offer.
Again refusing to appear before a
congressional committee or to send a

Senate agriculture committee, for at
tempting to reflect on President Cool

the Ford offer for the Alabama power
and nitrate project.
Ford sent letter to Norris last

work Monday morning, as the stool
pigeons in the company union wanted
them to do, they would have been the
disgrace of the entire working class
of this country. There is only one
thing that is more bitterly disliked by
the workers than scab, and that is
traitor who allows his leaders to be
fred. The strike leaders have been
battling for you men, and l am glad
you are standing by them"

Hired Under False Pretenses.
Men from Oklahoma, California and
Indiana turned up at the strike meet
ing yesterday. They were hired under
false pretenses, the representatives OF
the Pullman telling them there was
no strike on at Pullman. An Indian
apolis riveter, who was turned away
from the employment gate by the
DAILY WORKER reporters, said he
had been hired by Mr.. Starr, who
said he came to Pullman from Indian
apolis to hire riveters.

HARRIS IS DRAF TED
To AID IN CAMPAIGN
FOR SENATE TOGAS
BY THEODORE TILLER
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
4n8 Evans BLDG.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Upon
his return here after successful
campaign for denomination in the
Georgia primary, Senator William j.
Harris Saturday afternoon was re-
quested to become an assistant to
The chairman of the Democratic
senatorial campaign committee. The
invitation was extended by Senator
Jones, of New Mexico, committee
chairman, and will be accepted by
Senator Harris.
The senior Georgia senator's serv-
ices are also desired by the Demo-
cratic national committee in the SEN
25orial contest in Kentucky, where
senator Stanley, Democrat, has viz
orous opposition. The Democratic
committee suggested that Senator
Harris go into Kentucky and make
several speeches in ehalf of Stan
ley. 1t is probable, however, that
as between the two calls to serv-
ice, Senator Harris will give most
Of his time to the work Of the SEN
atorial campaign committee which
has the task of electing a Demo
cratic senate in November. It is
believed here that Senator Stanley
will pull through in Kentucky.
Senator Jones and others are Wag'
ing a nationwide fight to overturn
enough Republican seats to give the
next senate to the Democrats and
Senator Harris will assist them
henceforward
Senator Harris said Saturday
gia for a few days around the first
of October.

imports to only two per cent Of do
mestic production.
Mr.. Davis said special privilege did
not stop with its advances in legis-
lative halls, that it sought advantage
from the executive branches of the
government.
What was it?" he asked. THAT
led Doheny and Sinclair to the Of
flee door of Albert 3. Fall, the Sc
rotary Of the interior with their
black satchels and their bonds?"
Veterans Bureau Cited
The Democratic standard bearer
said the leasing of the naval oil re-
serves secretly was not the only
evidence of the working of special
privilege. He referred to the veter-
ans bureau scandal and the reveal
tons in the senate inquiry into the
conduct of the department of justice.
And what has become of these
menu Mr.. Davis asked. Fall went
into the employ of Sinclair and now
stands indicted. Why? Because the
senate of the United States inveSti-
gated his conduct. DENLY is out
Why? Because Of action by the ex,
eCutjVes? No, because the congress
of the United States demanded that
he so. And Daugherty is out.
Why? Because he retired volunta2i-
ly? No. He had offered to resign
three times and that had been re-
fused to him.
Forbes is gone. Why? Because
the hand Of a man now dead reached
out and plucked him from his place
and power. And since that time he
has been indicted
Mr.. Davis concluded his hours ad-
dress with the demand TO know IN
der which flag the people of Amer
lea would march in the coming cleo
ton. whether under the banner Of
privilege or under the banner Of De
mOcracy
The question. he said, IS one for all

as yet no definite plans for the
trial trips of the giant dirigible ZR-3 3,

Senator George, at the request OF

Georgia in the itinerary of one OF
these trial trips.
Secretary WILDER informed Senator
Georges office that Immediately
upon her arrival in this country,
the ZR-3 will be subjected to Sc
ries of test flights which will be
preliminary to her acceptance. These
flights are likely to be in the vi

New Defect in ZR-3;
Trans-Oceanic Jaunt
Put Off Till October

FRIEDRICHSHAF Germany,
Sept. 13.-(By the Associated Press.)
The transatlantic flight of the dirigi-
BILE ZR-3 has bene postponed until
late September or early October.
This announcement was made after
today's cruise, when another defect
was found in the motors.
The five engines will be dismant-
led, and the ZR-3 will not make it's
thirty-hour duration flight before
September "a.
The motor trouble was caused by
a defect in the thrust bearings CT
the crank shaft in the rear engine.
Owing to this defect the Maybach
engineers asked time so that they
might change the thrust bearings
on all the motors. 1t is estimated
that the work will require a week.
or longer.
The ship was in the air this aft
ernoon for five hours, cruising for
the most part over the lake and
making various tests of equipment.
