BANKRUPT" GARY

COOL S15,OOO,OOO
Sock Still Full Tho
Busted by 8 Hours

NEW YORK.-Judge Gary said he
would 90 bankrupt if he granted
the eight-hour day. Now the eight
hour day is in effect, in part Of the
steel industry at least, and the Judge
pleasantly announces that he is going
to spend a cool $15,000,000 on big
steel plants at Homestead, Penn, and
Gary, Indiana.
"At present we are contemplating
re-arrangement and improvement of
some mills of the Homestead works
at Pittsburgh and have appropriated
$6,000,000 on account of same,"
Gary's statement said.
"We are also proposing to complete
our tube plant at Gary, Ind, which
has been in the process of construc-
ton for over a year. We have like
wise recommended $6,000,000 on ac-
count of this work.
"Also we have recommended con-
struction of an additional unit of
lao by-products coke ovens at Gary
to meet the full requirements Of a
large number of blast furnaces at
Gary and South Chicago which have
been in operation for some years.
For these ovens we have appropriated
$3,000,000.
These, of course, do not include
all work being done or contemplated,
but they are leading items.

tensions and improvements in one or
another of our various plants"

D. OF J. DETAILED
B ODYG GUARD TO
PROTECT GOMPERS
Paraded as Chauffeur
But Paid by u. S. A.

WASHINGTON.-When the Comp
er's forces brought Russian anti
Communist speaker before the Cent?
raj Labor Union here, to intensity
the official propaganda against rec
ognition of the Russian republic,
some caustic remarks on the argu-
ments Of the imported speaker were
made by delegate from the federal
employees union who has a Russian
name. This delegate suggested that
the central body ask pro-Soviet
speaker to come to one of its Ses-
sons and tell the other side Of the
story.
To this plan there was immediate
opposition. Edward F. O'Grady,
legislative agent, A. F. Of L., read
letter from the State Department
to Gompers, warning him that a
"Soviet" meeting ir Portland, Ore,
some time ago discussed plans for
destroying the A. F. Of L., and that
in this Portland meeting the pre-
diction was made that Gompers
would be assassinated within year.
When Primov, the delegate who
wanted the truth about Russia,
poked fun at OGrady's fears, the
chairman stopped him. Demand was
made as to whether he were n
trades unionist or a sovietist." He
replied that he was both an official
union delegate and friend of the
Russian people and their struggle
for social justice.
O'Grady declared that on two oc-
casions, during the recent Portland
convention, State Department detect
ives shielded Gompers from "prob-
able harm at the hand of Commun-
lists who tried to get close to him."
During the war and for a period
of more than a year after the war
a man named Irish was detailed, ac-
cording to his own statement, by
the Department of Justice as a
bodyguard to Gompers. He was
known as Gompers' chauffeur, but
he was paid from the public treasury
