Disabled Soldier League
Declared Guilty of Fraud
Special Committee Agrees That Or
carnations Has Not Kept Faith.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The spe-
cial committee of congress which in
vestigated the National Disabled Sol
diers' League reported to the house
it was of the opinion that part of the
funds raised by the organization had
been diverted to improper use and
personal gain.
1t was recommended that the de-
partment of justice be asked to pre-
sent facts developed by the investiga
ton to a federal grand jury.
"The committee agrees the report
said, that the league has not kept
faith with the public in fulfilling the
statements which it made in circulat
ing its appeals for funds"
The report said that uncontradcted
testimony before the committee was
to the effect that the proportion of
the cash contributed in the various
campaigns of the organization rang
ed from Is to 80 per cent of the
full amount received but the bank
deposits of the league disclosed less
than 10 per cent cash deposited

LABOR DAILY IN
AUSTRALIA PUTS
DOWN OWN STRIKE
Communist Censure Stirs
Picard Wrath
(The Federated Press.l

SYDNEY, misunderstanding out of
the dispute at the Office of the Labor
Daily-the official organ of the New
South Wales branch of the Australian
labor party, where some of the staff
went on strike in sympathy with five
dismissed writer's, members of the
Huntsville Labor league carried a mo.
ton censuring Z. C. Magrath, one Of
the directors of the Labor Daily, for
breaking the strike at the Labor Daily
Office and calling upon him to show
cause why he should not be expelled
from the labor movement.
A few days later the New South
Wales executive of the Australian
labor party held a meeting, carried
motion of confidence in Magrath, and
ordered the resolution censuring him
be expunged from the league records.
The executive also expelled three
members of the Huntsville league who
were prominent in the attack on Ma
grath on the grounds that they were
Communist and therefore not eligible
for membership in the Australian Ia
Dor party.
Unionists claim that the expulsion
of the three men was due not to the
fact they were Communist, but be-
cause they opposed "the anti-work-
ing class attitude" of Magrath. The
paper is still declared "black" by the
labor council of New South Wales for
victimising the FIVE journalists be-
cause they took a prominent part in
the formation of shop committee.
An attempt to rescind the "black" mo-
ton was defeated by 81 votes to 20.

CAL WANTS ARMY.

AS POLICE FORCE
Talks About Disorder
to Women Jingoes

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. a.
II is the duty of America to set an
example for the world in reducing
armament, and to invite other nations
to follow that example, president
Coolidge declared here in addressing
q large delegation of women attend
ing the women's conference on nation
al defense as peace insurance.
Abolition Of the army and navy, he
dismissed as unworthy of serious
thought.
even the most law-abiding Of COM
munities do not dismiss their police
forces" he said. "No more can great
nation take the risk of leaving itself
to be menaced by disorder"
Women Strong for Defense
The president paid tribute, to the
women who composed his audience.
They were advocates of a strong and
militant national defense, as opposed
to the other convention of women
here few weeks ago who favored
less armament and supported the
league of nations and the world court.
Most of today's audience were dele
gates from woman's patriotic organi-
cations.
Repeats defense" Hoax
The womanhood Of Sparta has be-
come legendary, the president said,
but "our own history is proof that the
women of Sparta were made Of no
stouter or more loyal stuff"
I'VE are compelled to recognize
that national safety requires such a
measure of preparedness as shall be
the guaranty against aggression, with
out committing the nation to militar-
ism. Whatever preparations we make
shall be limited to the reasonable re-
quirements of security"

the policy OF IiberaIizing the party
and make it easier to appeal to the
shopkeepers and local manufacturers
by throwing out of the party the only
real neutrality-suspicious. in Australia.
Despite their efforts, however"
says the report, s"eyery day, the Com
munist issue in politics becomes more
and more the main issue. The shadow
Of Communism is over the labor move
ment. All efforts to Danish Commun-
ism and Communists are bound to
fail. The good old times of playing
at politics are gone. Revolution has

Young Workers Show
Extraordinary Spirit
in Garment Strike

The Young Workers League Of Dis
trict No. 2 is actively engaged at the
present time in helping the workers
of the white goods industry who are
on strike win their demands for the
complete organization of all the shops
and an increase in wages. In this
strike involving more than 10000
workers the majority are young girls
receiving wages as low as $1,000 per
week.
The Y. w. L. members who are in
volved in this strike are showing
splendid courage and extraordinary
militancy. In fact, one Of the Workers
Party members has expressed herself
that the hardest job that she has is
to check the league members.
The league is carrying on splendid
propaganda among the thousands of
young workers on strike. In this
work Of propaganda are involved not
only the Y. w. L. strikers but crews
of Y. w. L. members of other trades
at present unemployed who distribute
literature and help the union taking
down the shops that have not yet been
taken down on strike.
Two of our members, Comrades Eda
Eisman and Bessie Eisman, members
of the Brownsville branch, we're ar
rested while on the picket line on the
technical charge of insulting the pol
iceman. They are now out on bail.
A meeting of all Y. w. l.. members
involved in the strike was held Sun
day afternoon, and the demands of the
7. W. L. worked out to be presented
to the union settlement committee.
The demands include among other
things, shorter hours for the young
workers, low admission fees and reg
ular vacations.

SENATOR'S USE
OF INFLUENCE
AGAINST LAW
Government Is Making
Fake Investigation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-With onG
United States senator, Burton X.
Wheeler, democrat of Montana, al.
ready under indictment in Montana,
and proceedings being pushed against
him before federal grand jury for
reindictment here in Washington, il
became known today that the activi.
ties of number of other senators
are under scrutiny-among them Sen.
ator Spencer, republican, of Missouri
and Senator Bursum, republican, Of
New Mexico.
Selling Influence.
The indictments in each instance
have the same background that they
used their influence before govern
ment departments to obtain conces-
sions and government action in return
for which they received lawyers fees.
In pursuit of its present policy, the
department of justice apparently in.
tent on setting up a standard for com.
mittee members, or in other words,
to establish a line where senator's
duty to a constituent ends, and where
his pecuniary interest in a client be-
gins.
1t is an extremely delicate question
and one that the department is ap-
preaching with maximum of caution
much caution indeed.
Spencer Firm got $4,000.
VUbaaIarso aaaa h.
cused Of seeking from the interior
department public lands concessions
on behalf Of a constituent client from
whom he received a fee for his serv.
ices.
In the case Of Spencer, it is charged
that he has been instrumental in Sc.
curing for the Fouke Fur company of
ST. Louis, an exclusive monopoly in
handling government sealskins, while
his law firm in st. Louis acts as at
torneys for the company. In speech
on the senate floor, defending the
seal contract at time when it was
under attack, Spencer admitted his
law firm had received fees amounting
to $4,000. AS a member Of the firm
he shared in this.
Bursum's case is similar. Charges
have been made that Bursum repre-
sented the agricultural and livestock
corporation of New Mexico in a cat
tie deal under which he was to have
received So a head, at the same time
he was dickering with the war finance
corporation in Washington to accept
the security under which the sale
was to have been made.
If both Indictment and conviction
were ever obtained in the cases now
pending, it was declared scores of
other members of congress might be
laid open to the same proceedings.

Companies
Understated at That.

These figures understate the rate Of
return on the cash actually invested
in the industry by the stockholders
because in such industries as the auto
mobile, oil, tobacco and chain stores
generous stock dividends have vastly
increased the apparent capitalization.
In spite Of depression which meant
unemployment to tens of thousands
the 1924 profits of those Industrial
companies compare very favorably
with those of the previous year. In
1928 they produced a total profit for
stockholders Of $555,O6S,OOO repre-
senting return of 1872 on the capital
ization of that year. 3I-yI'

DAWES AGENT IN
.PLEAEOR FRENCH
U. S. HARMONY
Fears Harmful Talk"
About Debts

BALTIMORE, Feb. "a owen D.
Young, ad interim agent general for
reparations payments, and, with Gen.
Charles G., Dawes, co-author of the
Dawes" plan for Germany, begged
politicians and statesmen of both
France and the United States to cease
their harmful talk about Frances
war debt in a speech here today.
1t was Young's second address
since his return from abroad and was
made at the commemoration day ex-
ercises inUSMn Hopkins university.
Battle Is Over Debts.
1--WE find irritation and misunder.
standing" Young said, between two
great nations and two great peoples
who have every reason to work to-
gether. These two nations are now
looking at each other with suspicion
and doubtyandT irritation.
"And why? Because no impartial
authority, free from the handicaps of
domestic politics in either country,
has been able; to study the question
OF the fair amount or the practical
method Of payment of the French
debt.
II beg the politicians and states
men Of both countries to stop their
harmful talk until the facts are
found"
Seeks Funds for School.
Young's remarks anent the debt
were made to support his contention
that some agency must \be created to
get at facts as a help toward inter-
national peace. Such an agency, he
said, would be the Walter Hines Page
school Of international relations to be
established at John Hopkins by the
endowment fund of whose board of
trustees HYilg is president.

effect of increasing the demand for

that extent and making more jobs.
