Ex-Soldiers in Fight on
"Labor" Editor
BY JOS. A. WINTERS
Especial to The Daily Worksr)

GIRARD, Ohio, May 6.-The Labor
Record, official organ of the trade
unions in Mahoning and Trumbull
county, supported by most Of the trade
unions in the valley, has come out and
out as one Of the leading red-baitine
sheets in these parts.
Edited by an ex-socialist and recent
supporter Of LaFollette, this sheet
turns loose its vomit upon the two sol
der members of the Hawaiian Com
munist League, privates Crouch and
Trumbull, and applauds the efforts of
the enemies Of labor in sentencing
these soldiers to long terms in a mil
itary prison for the exercising of their
so-called political rights.
Ex-SociaIist Public Stool Pigeon.
In an editorial dated April both and
headed "Bolshevist Propaganda In
Army Aimed At Our Democracy" this
sheet appIauds the army authorities
for falling these. two soldiers and
thereby saving 'our democracy" The
editor calls upon the government to go
further and jail "the directing heads
of this vast. organization aiming to un-
dermine our army and our navy"
Progressive members in the trade
unions are preparing to demand that
the career of this red-baiting editor be
cut short. The combined efforts of the
labor taking and capitalist sheets are
being used to support the brutal sent
ences handed out to soldiers Crouth
and Trumbull. and especially in the
steel district where a strong senti-
ment amongst the ex-servicemen ex-
lists in favor of Crouch and Trumbull.
War Veteran Aid Soldier Victims.
A clear and honest statement of the
cases of Crouch and Trumbull will be
sent to every labor organization in the
valley and the red-baiting work Of
the Labor Record exposed as doing
the dirty work of the foes of labor.

REPORT

Line Up for Minority Praise
Of Naval Leases

Administration forces in the SEN
ate were being lined up today be-
hind the Spencer minority oil re.
port, which declares the naval oil
leases saved the Government mil
lions of dollars.
The minority report, filed by
Senators Smoot of Utah, Stanfield
Of Oregon, Bursum of New Mexico,
Cameron of Arizona and Spencer
of Missouri, all Republicans, de-
nounced former Secretary of the
Interior Fall, but absolved former
Secretary of the Navy DENLY and
his former assistant, Theodore
Roosevelt, of all charges Of In
Irregularities. It also agrees that
the Coolidge Administration was
not connected with the leases.
It was the Administration hope
to substitute the Spencer report
for the majority report, filed by
Senator Walsh DEM of Montana,
when the Senate finally disposed Of
the oil investigation next Monday.
Clash Over DENLY
The two reports c1ashed chiefly
over former Secretary DENLY. The
majority's report fIayed DENLY
while Spencer only mildly criticised
the ex-Secretray.
Nothing in. the record in the
least effects the integrity and
patriotic devotion to duty and high
character Of Secretary Denby,"
said the minority report. Former
Secretay Fail, however, was bit
tely denounced though not named
directly.
THE minority concurs in the full
measure Of criticism which the
majority indulge upon the cabinet
officer who is shown to have ac-
cepted a loan of $1,000 and GER
tain other favors while i'm office"
said the minority, referring to
Fall. Such acts cannot be toIer-
ated and are not to be condoned.

Leases Are Praised.
The leases however were praised
by Spencer.

globe girdling flight Of the world
filters of the army, is now proposed
by a film producing concern and
is under consideration by the War
Department.
The production would take the
fliers again around the world, but
there would be no actual reproduc-
ton of the flight. Most of the
scenes would be of the receptions
given the filters in different parts OF
the world, the picturesque expe-
riences OF the army men, etc.
While the War Department and
the filters themselves appear to be
favoraibly disposed toward the
project a number OF difficulties re-

According to Lies story, his party
was stopped on the road in order
that fight between his girls and

he knew nothing OF the fight until
