Golf (R) of West Virginia, and

liminary to the citing of Samuel In

ert E. Grove, states attorney Of
Cook County (Chicago), and Thomas
w. Cunningham, of Philadelphia, tt
the senate for alleged contempt in
refusing to answer questions at the
Chicago hearings.
A decision as to whether the COM
mittee will recommend that the SEN

legged offenders, or cite them to the
federal courts u the district fol-
contempt prosecutions will be reached
at another session next Monday.

BY WILLIAM f. dunno.

Z LIS SEARLES, editor of the
Il United Mine Workers Journal,
does not confne his glorifcation of
reaction to the columns of that stu
pid official organ Of efficiency union.
ISM"
Searles carries his campaign into
the columns of the capitalist press
in a style originated by ex-Attorney-
General Palmer and later adopted by
Secretary of Labor James J. Davis.
II is simple style. completely suited
to the mentality of the individuals
who use it. 1t consists of calling
red" everyone and everything of
whom one disapproves.
Mexico is the most recent object
Of Searles' hatred. Writing to the
indianapolis News, Searles seeks to
defend the late Gompers from any
suspicion of sympathy with the pres
ent Mexican government. He says:
if Gompers were alive today
he would not, | am sure, support
Gales in his present policies. The
fact is, President Gales double
crossed the memory of Samuel Com
pers. Gales is a pronounced Red.
His government is a Red govern
ment -. Gompers was not aware
that Gales was as Red as he is.
Gales is not giving Mexico the kind
Of government that Gompers believed
he would give p. He never sup
ported Red for anything if he knew
it 49,.
There is much more of this kind
Of stuff but the sample is sufficient
for our readers to form a judgement
Of the whole and to demonstrate that

Searles can write the word "red"
into an article more frequently than
any other living coryphee of Wall
Streets state department. He is of
course correct when he infers that
Gompers would have chosen to sup
port Wall Street and not Gales.
Gompers, like Searles and Lewis,
was an imperialist.
What Searles would say if Gales
actually was a Communist defies
Imagination. But the fact that he
believes that fred" is the uttermost
in abuse is proof that the resistance
of the Mexican masses and the Gales
government to Wall Street aggres-
sion has driven this little hireling
to frenzy.
For whom does Searles speak? II
he was speaking for himself he
could not get space for his drivel in
the smallest paper in the smallest
town in the United States. 1t is be-
cause he is editor Of the mine work
ers' official organ, by grace of John
l.. Lewis and in spite Of the oppo-
sition Of the membership, because
he voices the opinion of the UMWA
otficialdom, that what he says is of
Importance.
Every informed newspaperman in
the United States knows now that
the state department inspired the
story about Gales being "red" and
encouraging a "bolshevist plot
against the Panama canal was a gi-
gantic fraud for which even the duly
vicious and credulous Kellogg dared
not take responsibility.
The most cynical newspaperman
knows the Gales government is on
the outs with Wall Street and its
government because so far it has

strong to challenge the power of
the British empire.
Despite the pacifistic protes-
tations of Coolidge and Kellogg
United States warships continue
to concentrate in Chinese wa
tiers. The Chinese masses do not
believe that the presence of i'm
perialist warships in Chinese
waters bear out the Kellogg
statement that Washington en-
courages the Chinese nationalist
revolution.
Trying To Isolate Soviet Union.
GENEVA, Feb. THAT the Brit
ish government is striving to build

was admitted today by attaches of

which is dominated by Great Britain,
Sir Eric Drummond being the secre-
tary of the league.
The suspicious that the Polish
coup d'etat led by Pilsudski had
British backing and that the recent
Lithuanian coup was supported by
the same government are now con-
firmed.
It was whispered around league
headquarters that the arrival of
ample British forces in China would
be the signal for a Polish advance
on Russia.
War is in the air here and the

ence to the commands of its masters.

MORE WARSHIPS
Appropriate Over a
Million for Cruisers

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. L.
With cynical disregard for political
requirements, and with a single eye
towards assuring the right Of the
United States to foreign markets and
spheres of influence, the Senate to-
day OVERRIDE a plaintive objection
from the White House, smashed the
authorized appropriation of $1,200,000
presidential economy policy" and
voted for the immediate construction
of three new cruisers for the navy.
Big Majority For 1t.
The vote was 40 to 81.
The House has already refused to
pass a similar bill, but a conference
will now take place, and influence will
be brought to jam it through in some
slightly modified form.
1t is not believed here that Coolidge
will dare to veto thu bill, even if he
wishes to do so, because it is a part
of the appropriations act asking for
S14,950,000 for the navy, and because
the Coolidge policies of foreign
