MCMAHON PLEA

Makes Vicious Attack
on Militants

"Appeal to the soul of the people,
to civic, social and fraternal or
ganizations; appeal to bankers and
business men for the forty-hour
week." preached Thomas F. Nc
Mahon, president of the United Tex
tile Workers Union, while he was
delivering his report to the conven-
ton which last night finished its
second day in the Great Northern
Hotel.
The rest of McMahon's report, be-
sides being a vicious attack on pro-
gressive forces in the textile indus
try, presented a picture of the al
most complete decay of a so-called
International organization. All that
an elaborate and expensive organi-
zation apparatus of union in the
almost completely unorganized tex
tile industry can boast about in two
years is gain in membership by a

BRITISH ARE FOR

Defends Anglo French
War Treaty at Geneva

GENEVA, Sept. 11.-Under cover
of a plea for disarmament" sep
arate agreements and treaties be-
tween powers were advocated by
Lord Cushendun, acting foreign
minister of England, at this morn
ing's session of the assembly of the
League of Nations.
Declaring that each state "has a
right to judge for itself the level of
armaments necessary for its Sc
curity," Cushendun stated that great
difficulties would be met in the
practical carrying out of disarma-
nent, which, he thought, would
never be fully accomplished because
of the development of new means of
warfare. By these he means ,es-
pecially air and gas ornaments.
"New arms have been developed" !"
he said, especially in the aerial and
chemical fields. That presents new
difficulties. You can count guns,
men and ships, but you cannot esti-
mate the possibilities of these new
arms, which are also imperative for
commercial use and development"
AS a solution of these difficulties
Cushendun proposed sep arate
treaties. He said, at is necessary
for states to reach agreements
among themselves, owing to their
different needs and their constitu.
tional, parliamentary, geographical
and oJher differences. That neces.
states long negotiations"

Draw Up Constitution.
Today's session of the general
executive board was concerned
chiefly with completing work on the
new unions constitution drawn up
yesterday which will be submitted
to the membership for ratification
and amendment.
No more arrests of mine dele
gates took place today, following
the two day reign of unprecedented
terror on the part of the Pittsburgh
police who Sunday carried out
wholesale raids resulting in the ar
rest of over one hundred delegates.
The Lewis gangster army is still
following the convention delegates
around the city in automobiles. Pre-
cautions have been taken to prevent
further attacks by the Lewis thugs.
Moran Dies.
George Moran, Bentleyville mill
tant miner who was shot last Friday
by Louis Carboni, a Lewis hireling,
has died, it was learned here today.
Frank Kovac, who was fired on at
the same time is still in a critical
condition. Tony Calamari of Char
leroi, who was Sunday beaten into
unconsciousness by Lewis gangsters
and whose life has been despaired
of, is said to be slowly improving.
Portray Speed-up.
In a lengthy analysis of the pres

statement on policy adopted by the
convention, the executive board of
the new union has drawn up rec
ord of the profits of the coal bar
'ons, picture of the speed-up, the
unemployment and starvation which
the coal diggers are facing.
The statement calls attention to
the systematic betrayal of the min
ers by the Lewis machine through
the signing of separate districts and
the abandonment of the Jacksonville
scale resulting in the practical ex-
termination of the United Mine
Workers of America. Lewis and
his corrupt clique can no longer

HOOVER LIKES
RACE OUTLOOK
Pleased With Develop.
ment of Strategy
OF Campaign
BY JAMES L. WEST.
Associated Press Staff Writer1


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1l.-tPl-
While Herbert Hoover engages in no
political prophesies, he has informed
his friends he is satisfied not only
with the general outlook over the
country, but also with the manner IN
which the major strategy Of his own
campaign is working out.
This strategy has been to confine
his addresses 70 a discussion of the
issues and his own philosophy OF
government and TO keep clear of
personalities and controversies which
might obscure what he regards as
fundamental principles in which the
public is primarily interested.
Aside from his public addresses. he
has made few statements for publica-
ton and only one Of these has dealt
with claims OF the opposition. THIS
was his statement that the Kellogg
BRAND treaty constituted the great
est contribution 10 world peace.
No once since the campaign opened
has Hoover mentioned in an address
or public statement the name Of his
democratic opponent and only upon
a very few occasions has he referred
to the democratic party or the OPP
position.
Hoover now plans to make only
four more speeches before election
dsy and his friends assert that his
plans will not be changed. His next
two platform efforts will be on east
ern ground where the fight between
the two parties wages the hottest;
his third will b in the middle west,
whre each side has concentrated IN
its effort to win votes. while the last
will be from the quiet Of his study In
his California home.
