tion," he said, II would like to say
that there are some groups who said
that our delegation was going to the
United States to come to the citadel of
American capitalism to confer with
President Green in order to lie down
at the feet of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, bartering away the
principles, the hopes, the aims, the
ideals of the workers of the Pan
American countries. There are many
of US who are quite accustomed to
this manner of treacherous assault.
Seek to Promote Tyranny
"Some of these propagandists who
call themselves radicals, coming from
Russia to the dark corners of the
American continent, are constantly
speaking against the capitalistic tyr
amy entirely of their own making
They emphatically agree that they are
not in accord with US and the fact that
we do not submit to their tyranny is
the worst of ALL Certainly we are not
in accord with each other"
Vice President Morones called upon
the delegates to continue their work
upon their return to their countries
and not to forget their tasks and their
work here as soon as the final gavel
falls.

COSSACK PROPOSAL
HAS HARD SHEDDING

Springfield, Ill.-The general as
sembly's rejection of the state cossack
bill is the fifth defeat of this pro-
posal.
IT is now generally accepted that
the cossacks would supplant local po-
lice authority and place all power in
central head appointed by the gov
ernor. Trade unionists have empha.
sized this point.

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-With fourteen
nations represented in the largest con-
vention it has ever held, the Pan
American Federation of Labor is in
session in the American Federation of
Labor building here.
A comprehensive report of the ex-
ecutive board deals with developments
in almost half of the Latin Ameri-
can nations. The most lengthy sec
tions deal with Mexico, Nicaragua and
Cuba.
One of the surprises of the conven-
tion was the appearance of Luis N.
Morones, father of the Mexican labor
movement, who had not expected to be
able to come.
Nicaraguan Delegates Protest
Another surprise, and one that
brought to the convention at the out
set the fiery oratory of Solomon de la
Selva, was the slaughter of Nicarag-
uans under American marine and
bombing plane fire, on the opening
day. A resolution of protest was
promptly introduced by the Nicara-
guam delegation.
The great value of the Pan-Amer-
lean convention, as thus far revealed,
is in it's spreading of information and
enlightenment regarding the ideals of
the federation, which is in reality the
bulwark of constructive progress for
wage earners throughout the Western
hemisphere.
Green Declares Against War
Opening addresses were delivered
by President Green and by Vice Presi-
dent Morones. President Green made
ar emphatic declaration against war
between American nations, declaring
that he could picture no circumstance
that would warrant such war He
called in the most emphatic terms for
settlement of disputes around the con-
ference table if possible, and by arbi-
tration where conference fails. He
declared also that there must be in
every nation freedom to organize,
freedom of speech and of the press
and freedom of conscience.
at is the organized labor movement
upon the American continent and
upon the continent of Europe" he
said, "that stands for these principles
of freedom to which | have referred,
1t is the organized labor movement
in all countries that has resisted au-
tocracy, that has promoted the cause
of freedom and liberty, that has stood
as protecting force to the masses
of the people when they have been as
sailed by the autocratic powers of gov
ernment and by those who are des-
pots in The administration of the af.
fairs of government"

phases Of the scandal.
A searching investigation of mem.
bers Of the jury panel eligible to
be called in the Fall-Sinclair oil
trial was made just prior to the
opening of the trial and someone,
who carefully concealed his identity,
for a time had many Washington
people thinking they were about to
inherit huge sums Of money.
Called on Prospects"
The investigator, who used dead
automobile tags on his car and did
not give his name in making his
calls on jurors families, used a
method like this.
Madam, I am here on peculiar
mission, :. would be his approach as
he met the mother, wife or sister of
the juror. He would then detail
how he was sent to Washington
to search for heirs of persons killed
in the st. Louis tornado.
NEARLY 900 persons were killed"
the investigator would say, "I rep
resent a law firm in st. Louis that
is settling the estates of many of
those who lost their lives. Is there
member of your family by the
name Of so and SOP"
Inquiries Made
In nearly every case, the investi.
gators story sounded so plausible
that the member of the family ap.
preached would give the desired in
formation If they were slow to give
the facts, the investigator would
say:

Inquiry was made as to the
church connections of the juror,
the business associations; whether
he owned his home; his income and
many other intimate and personal
details. In some instances, the
woman of the family--it was usually
a woman who was approached

In a few cases, the wife or
mother of the juror would detail
to him what had occurred during
the day. Some took the matter
seriously, others accepted it as a
matter of course since they were
members of the jury.
