PROFESSOR OUT,
 BLAMES POLITICS
Coy. Hartley Accused as Dr.
 SuzaIo Leaves U. of Wash.

Seattle, Oct. G. PNRemoval of Dr. Henry Suzzallo, as president of the University of Washington, the northwest's largest educational in stitution, has added new fury to the political turmoil which has ragged in this state for two years.
 In the center of the controversy is Governor Roland II. Hartley, charged by political opponents with ordering suzzallo's dismissal by the university regents, majority of whom are appointees of the govern or.
 Paul H. Johns, of Tacoma, secre- tary of the regent declared last night that Suzzallo was busted be- cause he was active in state politics. A. H. B. Jordan, of Eberett, presi- dent of the board, says the removal was ordered because of dissension between Suzzallo and the university faculty. Both regents were appoint ed by the governor and both voted to dismiss Suzzallo.
 Hartley denied he influenced the regents decision to remove the edu- cator.
 They have been given a free rein in the management of the institu tion," he said. They dismissed Dr. Suzzallo entirely upon their own mi tiative. I have nothing whatever against Dr. Suzzallo. He is fine man, a great educator, wonderful citizen"
 Meanwhile talk of recall or i'm peachment Of the governor is heard hero. A. S. Kerry, Seattle capitalist, regarded as the leader of the move rlent against Hartley, declard that we intend to devise a state wide plan of action"
 Last night three Seattle civic leaders who visited Hartley and ask cd him to reinstate Suzzallo, said their request was met by refusal. After the conference plans were formulated for mass meeting here Friday night to protest against Suzzallo's dismissal.
 The controversy between Govern or Hartley and a majority Of the legislature over educational appro- priations has caused the sharpest political alignment of any issue in the state during the last five years. The governor has advocated cur tailment of appropriations Larger appropriations were voted by the last legislature over the governors veto after a long fight in which Governor Hartley charged Suzzallo with undue political activity and with travelling over the state for political purposes at the expense of the commonwealth.

EVANGELIST HEARS
 SELF CONDEMNED
Mrs. McPherSon Called '''Fake''
 and "Hypocrite" in Court

Los Angeles, Oct. 6.IPl-Aimee Semple McPherson today sought so- lace in the rolling breakers on Santa Monica Bay beach near the place where she declares she was kidpHp- ed last May, as adjournment Of her preliminary hearing on conspiracy charges until tomorrow offered respite from the sharp court re- partee in which she yesterday heard herself characterized as fake and "hypocrite.'
 70, for a nice restful swim, ,'' cx- claimed the evangelist when she learned municipal Judge Blake had ordered a days recess in the hearing at which District Attorney Asa Reyes is attempting to prove Mrs. McPherson and her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, conspired to oh- struct justice by manufacturing evi- dence 10 support the kidnapping story. The Angelus Temple pastor and her mother left almost immedt- ately after the adjournment for the home of friends at Venice, santa Monica Bay resort.
 The evangelist said she would de- vote the day to rest on the beach, which hundreds of her followers patroled for days after her dlsap- pearance on the theory that she had drowned.
 Mrs. McPherson's story of having Lol ro was attacked by two states wit nesses during yesterdays hearing. The first was Deputy District At torney Joe Ryan, who was recalled for cross examination by defense counsel.
 When asked to explain his men tai reaction" to the evangelists story of abduction, Ryan expressed the belief that the Angelus Temple pastor was flake and a hypocrite.'
 He said his investigation at Douglas, Arizona, from where he made four trips into Mexico ana trailed the eyangclists footprints on the Sonora desert, led him to the conclusion that Mrs. McPherson had rot travelled over 20 miles of waste land. as she alleged in her original statement.
 Ryan declared he did not believe the pastor was ever In a shack or that such a shack as she described ever existed in Arizona or in MeSlco' He sa!d fas did not believe she was takon to any such place by the per sons whom tho evangelist described os Steve" and "Ro.e." nor did he bellev. sh. wa. ever incarcerated.

Two issues of far-reaching impor-
tance should be emphasized Labor
Day They are:
l. An intensive trade union organ
ization campaign.
2. The non-partisan political cam
paign of the American Federation of
Labor.
Wherever Labor Day is celebrated,
and from reports this will be almost
universal, agitation should be renewed
for vigorous continuance Of the
campaign to organize every wage
Garner eligible to membership in a
trade union
The experience of those who in
many states exhibited "Labor's Re-
ward," the moving picture outlining
the successes of the American labor
movement, clearly demonstrates that
hundreds of thousands of wage earn
ers are anxious to organize.
Speakers at Labor Day demonstra-
tions would do well to urge every
member of trade union to appoint
himself committee Of one to seek
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-09-03

new members.
Unions that have adopted this pol
icy have gained in membership. Mem
bers of unions who have relied upon
the officers alone to accomplish re-
suits have not been so successful.
1t is therefore necessary for the
rank and file of all unions to UNDER
stand that it is their duty to aid their
officers at all times in the work of
organization.
The present stable conditions en-
joyed by the organized wage earners
of America were not voluntarily con-
ceded by employers. They are the
result Of organization, of years of
struggle and sacrifice, until collective
bargaining became the recognized We
hicle through which it was possible
to maintain industrial peace.
Organized labor is a recognized
institution. The right to organize is
not questioned. No reason can be ad-
vanced, therefore, why every union
should not be 100 per cent organized.
1t all depends upon the willingness
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-09-03

of the members to perform their share
of organization work.
The Importance of selecting mem.
bers of congress who will be true to
their constituents and to the people
generally cannot be over-estimated.
Thirty-four senators and 435 members
of the house of representatives are
to be elected.
There is hardly a congressional dis
trict in the United States in which
the voters cannot nominate and elect
a forward-looking representative. It
is doubtful if there is a state in which
a senator cannot be nominated and
elected who will be true to the peo-
pie. The only obstacle will be the
failure of the wage earners to vote
for the most acceptable candidates.
Members of the house of represen-
tatives should be elected who will re-
fuse to permit three men to dictate
what legislation shall be considered
and voted upon. 1t is dictatorship
repugnant to our democratic institu-
tions, and those responsible should be
emphatically rebuked through the bal
lot box.
The issue from now until election
should be how to arouse the voters.
how to convince the wage earners
that If they desire congress that
will favor remedial legislation and de-
feat malevolent legislation they will
go to the polls on election day and
vote
1t is not a question of party poll
tics, it is question Of the men and
the principles they represent. 1t is
a question of which candidates more
truly measure up to the requirements
of the people.
Labor also should be warned that
the conspiracy to repeal direct pri-
mary laws will be fatal to the nomi-
nation of friendly candidates. The
claim that the people are competent
to elect delegates to party conven-
tions which nominate candidates but
are not competent to nominate candi-
dates directly should be answered by
the ridicule it deserves. The people
are more to be trusted than are the
political bosses.
1t is my hope that every wage
Garner will faithfully register and
vote in the November election. But
these votes must be cast for candi-
dates who will be loyal to the people.
If loyal to the people they will be
loyal to labor, as labor never asks for
anything that is not good for the peo-
pie generally.
This applies to Canadian wage earn
ers as well as those of the United
States, as only the most acceptable
candidates should be elected to the
Dominion parliament.
