PERJURY
In Wheeler Frame Up" To
Be Ignored By Gov
ernment?

Washington.-The government will
not prosecute George B. Hayes for
perjury in the trial of Senator
Wheeler, if Attorney General Sargent
accepts the recommendation of his
assistant, Col William j. Donovan.
Hayes was the governments "sur-
prise" witness in it's attempt to con-
vict Wheeler Of wrongfully securing
oil land permits. He was acquitted
in Montana court, and in District
OF Columbia court, and by senate
committee that investigated the case.
Hayes was under disbarment pro-
ceedings in New York as we'll as be-
fore the treasury department. At
the last minute of the Montana trial,
and without knowledge by the de-
fense that he was subpoened, Hayes
appeared as the governments "sur-
prise" witness. He swore he did not
known Senator Wheeler and never
saw him until he met him in New
York hotel for the first time, when
Wheeler offered to divide very large
fee with him if he would appear in
a case in which Wheeler could not
himself appear because he was a sem
ator.
The yarn was so fantastic that the
jury voted not guilty on the first bal
lot.
A senate committee is now con-
sidering resolution which, if adopt
ed, will call on the department of
justice to inform the senate if Hayes
is to be prosecuted for perjury.
Assistant Attorney General Dono-
van told the committee he does not
favor prosecuting Hayes, because the
department has data of two wit
nesses which substantiate the state
ments of Hayes"
"These witnesses were on their way
to the trial in Montana when thev
were stopped at Chicago because the
trial was over" said Col. Donovan,

James, provide for compulsory arbi-
tration. They deny miners any voice
in wage or working conditions. 1t is
not generally understood that the min
ing industry is overmanned. During
the war $4,000 of our young fellows
joined the army, and yet, during that
period, all records for coal production
were broken. Today there is sur
plus of 100000 miners. If these min
ers worked full time for a month
every railroad coal car in the country
would be filled with surplus COAL
"The evils that confront this indus
try are too complex to be solved by
legislation, and nothing can be ac-
complished by denying miners the
right to have voice in their work"

EX-SOLDIERS
Seek 30-Day Vacation To
Attend Paris Reunion

By international Labor News Service.
indianapolis, Ind-Efforts are un-
der way by a general committee of
the American Legion to have en-
ployers of labor grant special 30
day vacation period to all former
service men to attend the interna-
tional convention and reunion of
World War veterans in Paris in 1927,
according to announcement from the
national headquarters of the Legion
here.
National officials of the Legion
have started campaign in behalf Of
ex-soldiers of the rank and file who
would be unable to attend the Paris
meet unless favored in this respect.
1t is desired that the "boys in the
trenches" make up the "army" that
will again visit the battlefields of
France and Flanders where they
fought a few years ago. To this end
employers of labor will be urged to
cooperate in seeing that their work
men obtain a sufficient vacation pc
riod to permit this, Legion officials
explained. Part of the plan will be
to have workers forego two weeks
vacation this pear and thus obtain
four weeks the following year, if no
other plan is available
1t has been estimated by Legion
officials that an ex-soldier can make
the trip in comfort and see every
thing to be seen at an expense of
about $500, which wuold include
steamship and railroad fare to point
of embarkation.

STRIKERS TOLD
Only One Textile Union Is
A. F. of L. Tried Policy

Washington. - The united front
committee of textile workers of Pas
sale, N j., and vicinity" has nc
standing with the A. F. Of l..
This declaration was made by the
A. F. of L. executive council in
answer to letter written by Albert
Weisbord, claiming to be organizer
of these workers. He asked for affil-
iation with the A. F. of ].
"We know nothing of the committee
which you claim to represent" said
President Green in answer to Weis-
bord's request.
A charter has been issued by the
A. F. of L. to the United Textile
Workers of America. That organi-
zation has authority to organize all
employees in the textile industry, said
Mr.. Green
"The A. F. of L. executive council
will gladly cooperate with the United
Textile Workers. We are in sympa-
thy with all workers who struggle
and fight, in a practical way, for in
creased wages and improved condi-
tions. We oppose wage reduction
policies of employers in the textile
industry. We regard these reduc-
tions as unjust, unfair and unwar-
ranted.
"If wages in this industry are to be
established upon fair and just ba-
sis, and if work conditions are to be
improved, these things can only be
brought about through the establish
ed agencies of the A. F. of L."
Newark, N. J.-Trade unionists are
relieving distress caused by the
strike of textile workers at Passaic,
near here, which is handled by par
ties outside the bona fide trade union
movement.
For the past Is years attempts
have been made to organize textile
workers of Passaic and vicinity, but
we have been met by opposition of
mill owners and city officials and by
the Indifference and antagonism of
workers." said Henry F. Hilfers, Sec
retary of the New Jersey State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
Through this attitude, Passaic and
vicinity, and the textile industry in
particular, has proved a fertile ground
for all kinds of radical movements,
which has split the workers into three
or four organizations and has left
the vast majority unorganized.
"These dual organizations were
fostered by employers who realize bet
ter than the workers that dissension
among employees is to their advan-
tage.
Organization of all the textile
workers in one union affiliated with
the A. +. of l.. is their only salvation" !"

Washington, d. c.

washington, ~. Y.
Vigorous opposition to the Capper
pill for universal draft of industry,
as we'll as man power, in time of war
was voiced to the senate military
committee. Edgar Wallace, of the
A. F. of L., opposed the bill on the
ground that it would conscript labor.
Representative of the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches and the Fellowship of
Reconciliation also denounced the bill
as war measure.
Just when everyone expected the
civil service retirement act to be lib
eralized the White House demands
further modification of the program,
which will probably kill the measure
as far as this session is concerned.
1t must be rememberd that the civil
service retirement fund is supplied
entirely by contributions from salar-
les of government employees, and that
at present there is a surplus of about
forty million dollars. The government
merely guarantees the fund; that is,
the government collects the money,
disburses it, and guarantees its safe
ty. Federal employees who contribute
their money are asking for larger

all that is false and trcacherous in the
Oriental. Another great Jewish lady
Of the screen is Pola Negri, but she
is so much n part of Europe. that she
cannot properly be considered an
American. The fact remains, how
ever, that she has infinitely enriched
the screens characterizations of wo-
men. One who has been in this coun-
try much longer. but who is also def
nitely a foreigner, is ALA Nazimova
who was brought to America from the
Russian stage, and who has achieved
some notable portrayals despite the
attempts to commercialze her art.

Another who deserves mention for
her competent work is Vera Gordon,
who made good impression as the
mother in "Humoresque" several

some pictures, she has seen her name
in the electric lights above the title
of the picture.
Gifted Sehil,lkra,hs
With the exception of Chaplin and
Fairbanks, no Jewish male has
achieved anything like the screen
fame of a Negri or Nazimova. The
foremost of them is Joseph Schild-

back about four years, when he ap-
peared in one of the leading roles in
rOrphans of the Storm" starring the
Gish sisters Since then he has de-
voted most of his time to the stage,
and il was only six months ago, when
he left his sensational success, "The
Firebrand," that he renewed his
screen activities. The foremost Jew
ish character netdr on the American
screen is now Joseph Schildkfaut's IS
father, Rudolph, whose fame as the
atrical star of the first magnitude in
German is now being Appreciated. 1t
is interesting to note that father and
son are now working together in a
film of great Importance called "The
King of Kings" in which Joseph has
the role of Judas Iscariot, and
Rudolph is Caiphais, the high priest.
