Williams Defeated at
Labor Party Congress;
Miners on War Basis

LONDON, Oct. 21.-while the right
wing of Macdonald and company still
ruled the Labor Party conference, the
left wing showed a strong front
against the policy OF trucking to cap
italist forms and put up a bitter fight
against the enemies OF the miners in
labor's ranks.
One unexpected result was the de-
feat OF Robert Williams, chairman,
for reelection, and his defeat is
charged to his presidential address in
which he advocated reactionary views
and attacked the striking miners.
The miners executive now calls It,
self the council of war" and is TAX

ures adopted to intensity the strike,
particularly by calling out the safety

rich Debs. He was educated in the
common schools Of that city and after
working at various trades, became a
locomotive fireman on the Terre
Haute and Indianapolis railway in
1871.
His first venture into politics was
in 1879 when he became city clerk Of
Terre Haute, a position which he held
until 1888. Two years later, he was
elected to the Indiana legislature, and
ip the same year, 1885, he was mar
ried to Ktherine Metzel, who survives
him. ~
1t was his work as a locomotive
fireman, which turned his attention to
the workingclass movement and he
soon became very active in early rail-
road labor Organizations. He was
grand secretary and treasurer OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
from 1880 to 1898 and from that year
until 1897 was president of the Amer
lean Railway Union.
A. r. U. Strike.
His leadership Of the famous Amer
lean Railway Union strike of 1894,
called against the Pullman Company
and later spreading to many impor-
tant railway lines won him a place in
the very forefront of the militant
workingclass movement of the nine
ties. In that year he was charged
with conspiracy and later sentenced
to six months in Woodstock jail for
violation of an injunction.
Nominated for President.
In 1897 he became chairman OF the
national executive committee of the
social-democratic party, which later
became the socialist party. In 1900
he was nominated for president on the
socialist ticket and made the first Of
four campaigns for the presidency.
In 1904, 1908 and 1912 he was again
socialist candidate for president.
Found Guilty
When the United States entered the
war in 1917 Debs took a definite stand
against it. During the war, in 1918,
he was arrested while making a
speech in Bohemian Gardens. Canton.
o., and charged with obstrueting the
draft. He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to 10 years imprisonment by
Federal Judge Westenhaver. The de-

court and Debs entered Moundsyille
penitentiary, w. Va, on April 10,
1919 Later he was transferred to

MRS. HENDERSON OFFERS SITE
FOR NATIONAL ART GALLERY
Proposed Gift to u. S. of Tract Occupying Full
Block on Meridian Hill Contingent Upon
Prompt Action by Congress.

AS site for a national art gallery
building long planned by Congress.
but for which no provision has been
made except the tentative setting
aside OF a plot at r and Seventh
streets, Mrs. John 3. Henderson. 300
Sixteenth street, today offered the
United States Government valuable
tract Of land. containing between four
and five acres, on Meridian Hill,
facing Sixteenth street.
Mrs. Henderson made her offer in a
letter to Chairman Elliott of the
House committee on public buildings
and grounds. in which she regretted
that our Congress of so years ago
had not started this work" The site Of
fered by Mrs. Henderson is bounded
by Sixteenth street. Seventeenth
street, Euclid street and kalorama
road.
The gift is made on condition that
if accented, a start would be made at
once for proposed national art
building by appropriating small
sum for competitive plans for
this building. Mrs Henderson also
stipulates that if her gift is accepted
the proposed institution would be
placed under the management of the
Smithsonian Institution.
Mrs. Henderson in her letter to
Chairman Elliott states that the
very splendid collection of pictures
and certain other art objects which

FAVORS SOCIALIST RULE.
Committee Dictatorship Would Please
Paul BOncOur.

GENEVA, March s L4o).--A Socialist
dictatorship for France in the form
of a committee of public safety based
on the parliamentary system, but
showing its fist would not be dis
pleasing If events forced it, NJ. Paul
Boncour is quoted as declaring in an
interview with a Swiss newspaper.
Such dictatorship would be less
risky and more logical than dicta-
torship by a single man. the French
statesman added. Nevertheless, he
was convinced that less drastic rem
edy could be found in the constitution
itself, for history proved that France
always rose to meet any crisis.
NJ. Paul.Boncour compared the par
liamentry commission to the COM
missions of the French revolution and
the conventions of that magnificent
period in French history which l
admire more and more" but said
that bills elaborated by the special
lists in the commissions were de-
stroyed by an incompetent Parlia-
ment which had lost the confidence of
the country.
When questioned concerning the
reds in France he admitted that i'm
portant centers Of communism
existed there. He did not think, how
ever. that communism was dangerous
to France at the present moment.

in the National Museum. where they
are not welcome" Mrs Henderson
also emphasizes that the space these
valuable art work occupy was not
planned for them and is needed for
other uses of the museum; that other
valuable art gifts are now placed In
storage in the basement of the
museum building and that other gifts
of the kind of almost priceless value
cannot now be accepted for want of
further space to place them.
Mrs Henderson suggests another
use for the proposed new building of
Fine Arts, that a certain number of
rooms be so arranged that the Gov
eminent may have exclusive use of
them for governmental purposes, for
national and international confer
ences and receptions" She points out
that at present our Government has
no such place for meetings of the
kind without encroaching on the Pan
American Building. which is financed
by the combined countries of South
America, or the private headquarters
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. Mrs. Henderson EXPIRE S.
es the belief that such accommoda
tions as she recommends, combined
with a gallery of fine arts, would be
especially attractive.
Predicting that in the future a ma
tional art gallery will be erected, COW
ering a space of 20 acres, Mrs. Hen
derson states her belief that for the
present the site which she proposes to
donate on Meridian Hill will be suf-
ficieDtly large

EUROPE IS ANXIOUS
AS LEAGUE MEETS
Momentous Session Opened
Amid Flood of Conflict
ing RumorS.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, Switzerla nd. March s.
The special session of the League of
Nations assembly was opened at $40
o'clock this afternoon, with Viscount
Ishii in the chair. The galleries were
crowded.
The hum of conversation in the cor
ridors became so deafening after the
opening of the council session that
Niscount Ishii sent out a messenger
beseeching silence, declaring the noise
prevented the delegates from hearing
one another as they sat around the
table.
A mass of rumors touching on the
crisis occupied the crowd, which was
composed of diplomats. delegates to
the league assembly. newspaper men
and members of the general public.
These rumors ranged from predictions
that the situation was hopeless and
the league doomed. to rosy forecasts
that the whole matter would soon be
clarified.

The British foreign secretary, Sir

to the league palace, while NJ. linden

increas sc in the council" said the Swe-
dish delegate to the correspondent.
because it would mean the loss OF
the rightful influence of the smaller
powers and the formation of power

would attempt to dominate all league
activities.
