DEMANDS
ALL C0NSCRPTED
Would Militarize Key
Industries

WASHINGTON, May % (FP).-
Edwin E. Spafford, commander of the
American Legion, testifying May 81
before the house committee on mill
tary affairs, demanded the enactment
OF the RoJhl Johnson bill providing
universal CONSUMPTION without ex-
emption on account of industrial oc-
cupation," whenever war may be de-
clared. He made the usual claim, ex-
ploded by trade union representatives
in previous hearings, that the bill
would conscript capital equally with
labor.
When questioned as to how the rail-
roads, mines and other essential in,
dustries would operate if all the men
were drafted, Spafford replied that
the army could release enough men
on furlough, if necessary, to keep
them going. This reply is in conflict
with earlier explanations, which
showed determination to militarize
all the chief industries and to make
their ordinary bosses their superior
military officers, armed with court
martial powers, when the day Of
reckoning arrived.

PULLMANS HIRE
CELEBRATED spy
M a Do n Id, Expert,
Will Persuade Porters

A. R. Macdonald, specialist in labor
espionage and strikebreaking, has
been hired by Pullman to "stop" the
Brotherhood of SLEEPING Car Porters
which is on the eve of clos 'ng a strike
vote showing 100 to l sentiment
among porters for a walkout, if nee
essary, to obtain union recognition.
Macdonald, self described "indus-
trial engineer" refused to deny that
his services had been engaged by Pull
man. "For certain business reasons"
he RESPONDED. 81 would rather not say
anything right now about that par
ticular matter"
Pullman, f Jig h ting desperately
against the porters' union and its
strike vote, has fallen back now on
labor espionage. First it organized a
company union to stem its workers
desire to join a real trade union.
When the imitation union failed to
supplant the Brotherhood, Pullman
began firing union leaders and dis
ciplining members. That, too, failed
to dent the young Brotherhood
Later Pullman resorted to corrup-
ton of Negro editors, cowed Negro
pastors into spreading anti-union pro-
paganda and even browbeat southern
colleges to keep union organizers
from addressing students.
But Pullman leans on a weak reec
f it expects A. R. Macdonald to
break up the porters' union through
espionage. Macdonald is none too
clever himself He is remembered If
labor circles chiefly for his effort to
prove that Louis Budenz is Com
munist.

USSR MADE HUGE
GOLD SHIP MENTS
$3.50, 900 Received by
United States

Shipments of gold from the U. S.
s. r. to total value of $3.50, 900
were received by the United States
during the years 1920-1922, according
to the report of the United States
Senate Commission of Gold and Silver
Inquiry, quoted in pamphlet "Rus-
sian Gold" released yesterday by the
Amtorg Trading Corporation of New
York.
The conclusions in the senate re-
port of 1925 are corroborated by GUS
toms statistics of Sweden, France and
Switzerland, the countries through
which Russian gold found its way
here, and dispatches in the press of
1902 regarding Russian gold ship
ments. The brochure of 72 pages also
contains data regarding Russian gold
production, the present Soviet gold
reserve and Soviet foreign trade.
A statement by A. L. Scheinman.
chairman of the Soviet State Bank,
printed in the pamphlet, indicates
that the $5,O00,OOO in Soviet gold re-
Gently shipped to this country was
sent to serve in adjusting the Soviet
Unions unfavorable trade balance
with the United States, which reached
total of $90,00O,0O0 in the twelve
months ending March 81, 1928.
The recent gold shipment, accord
ing to Scheinman, came from the
newly created gold reserve which the
Soviet authorities began to accumu-
late in 1928 after the remainder of
the gold stock of the Imperial gov
eminent had been exported to pay
for Soviet purchases abroad.

TOLL OF POISON
GAS INCREASING
Believe Phosgene Was
Destined for u. S.

BERLIN. May 23.--All Germany
has been shaken by the comment fol
lowing the poison gas explosion in
Hamburg which killed Il persons out
right and put $50 others in the hos
pital. Many of the asphyxiated vic
tins are in such serious cordition that
it is believed they cannot recover.
The "Rote Fahne," official organ
of the German Communist Party, de-
clares that the gas was stored for
the "com ne imperialist war"
The Berlner Achtuhr Abendblatt
called it "a general rehearsal for
aero-chemical warfare Of the future"
The newspaper added
"The terrible lesson the German
people will realize from this is wha;
horrible fate awaits civilians when
the terriers of future gas warfare
breaks upon them unexpectedly"
An official Investigation is already
under way at Hamburg. Officials of
the Reichswehr have been summoned
TO testify whether the German army
high command knew anything about
the existence Of the poison gas.
Experts testified that, had the wind
been blowing towards Hamburg in
stead of away from it, thousands
might have been killed as the phos-
gene would have been carried into the
heart of the city.
The unseen death menace hung over
the suburbs until dispelled by rain
storm.
Hugo Stolzenberg, owner of the
chemical plant where the gas was
stored, insisted that the deadly fluid
wa 49, los, most of which would be
eX to the United States and
Cz vakia. 1t had been reported
that he gas was to be shipped in its
native state for use by the United
States army.
