Edward Romese of the United Mine
Workers gave stirring talk on con-
ditions in the Russian Mines. He
told of his visits into the pits them
selves. 81 looked for evidences of
the American speed up system, but l
didn't find it; l looked for the terrible
miners shacks and fearful living con-
ditions, but I failed also to find these"
Charge Answered.
Romese answered in detail the
charge that the Russian workers had
no political freedom. There is free
dom in Russia, but not for the enc
mics of the workers and that is why
we hear so much noise made about
this issue"
Robert Dunn, member Of the first
Trade Union Delegation and Albert
Coyle, former editor of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers Jour-
nal, and member of the first delega-
ton, also spoke.
Company unionism is the challenge
to the labor movement" Coyle pointed
out. "In Russia there could be no
such dangerous anti-labor move as
the company union"
The American Trade Union Dele
cation Committee announced that it
will attempt TO carry the message and
speakers of the delegations to every
part of the country. ,

1T took too long and the navy was
not prepared" said Congressman Gift
ford. ''The lack of warning from the
tender to other vessels was unpar-
donable and the lack of rescue ap-
paratus was fault that should be
remedied at once"

Concealed Failures.
The congressman said he under
stood that the news of the ''loss" of
the submarine was withheld for hours
yesterday and that was the reason
the naval authorities refused to per-
nit newspaper despatch boats to go
within the rescue zone.
eve must know why it took four
miles an hour to tow pontoons from
Brooklyn when they should have been
close at hand" he continued. Lack
of apparatus and slowness in action
were the big fault"
Inventor Criticizes.
Professor Fessenden, the inventor
of the "oscilIating" device for hear
ing under water installed on subma-
rines, today severely attacked the
coast guard service for not having
listening apparatus Of this type on
the coast guard vessel which ran il
down and killed forty members of the
crew. 1t was through Fessenden's
instruments, installed on the S-4, thai
air was finally introduced into the
torpedo room, some hours too late, It
appears, to save the men there.

ELKS TO GIVE
CAR AWAY FOR
CHARITY FUND

Somebody in Imperial Valley is
going to get an automobile "dirt
cheap" announcement being made
today that FL Centre Lodge of
Elks will give away an automobile
about December l.
The committee in~<harge Of the
Christmas fund decided upon this
means of raising money to care for
El Centro's needy at Christmas
time. All funds derived from the
proceeds of tickets sold on the car
will be devoted to supplying Christ
mas dinners and food supplies to
FL Centre families. This fund will
be separate from the annual Elks
Christmas tree for children and
will be devoted solely to charity,
without distinction to race or creed.
Clyde V. Hill, esteemed leading
knight of the lodge, is in charge of
the affair. He has obtained a
Chrysler sport model roadster and
received the endorsement of the
lodge for the undertaking.
"'We have decided upon what we
believe to be the best means Of
raising mony without overburdening
merchants and the publie,' Hill
said. "Scvcral carnival company
representatives have approached MS
to put on a carnival, but we have
turned them down feeling that the
people do not want to contribute
money to be taken outside the val
ley.
"The car has been purchased
here, the tickets will be sold here.
and the money derived from the
sale will be spent here, among FL
Centro merchants. We feel that our
object is n worthy one. Those who
lave been here for several years
know about the Elks custom of sup
plying the needy at Christmas time.
and we feel certain they will be
glad to help us.
''We intend to start our ticket
sale campaign tomorrow, do not in
tend TO bear down on any firm or
individual, and simply ask as many
as can do so to lend us their aid. -
