Mount Vernon Visit
By Hoover Follows
Alexandria Parade

In honor of the memory of
George Washington, President
Hoover yesterday visited Mount
Vernon after reviewing the pa
rade in Alexandria, the feature
OF the Washington birthday an
niversary celebration in that city.
Mr.. Hoover's decision to include
a visit to Mount Vernon as
part Of his personal observance
OF the birthday anniversary was
made only a short time before
he left the White House, after
luncheon, for the Alexandria
celebration. His intention to go
to Mount Vernon was not made
public, as it ives feared that ad-
vance advertising of the visit
would draw such q crowd to that
American shrine on the banks of
the Potomac that serious congeS-
ton along the highway might
follow.
AS it was, the grounds of the
Mount Vernon estate were well
nlled with visitors when the
President and his party arrived.
The Presidents visit to Mount
Vernon yesterday was the first
time a Chief Executive has been
there since the first year War
rem G. Harding was President.

The questions of today" declared

declared, I'VE have no ranks, no foolish
distinction of cast, no bejeweled and
beribboned aristocrats" He eXtolled
the opportunities before American
youth in this Government, which he
characterized as free, invincible, the
hope of the world"
Futility Of Panegyric.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April l.
Matthew Woll's International Labor
News Service has sent broadcast a
column of quotation from a speech
by Rep. Chas. Aubrey Eaton of New
Jersey, denouncing the Communists
for stirring up unemployed demon
strations, and declaring that Amer
lean capitalism is solving the prob
lem of poverty. He said that "Com-
munism has no morals"
AS for American capitalism,
Eaton declared: eve have an al
most infinite number and variety of
agencies of private and social ma
ture working to conserve and up
build the priceless fabric of our
American civilization"
But who is Eaton? His own
biographical sketch in the Congress
sional directory shows that he was
John D. Rockefeller's pastor, first
in Cleveland and then in New
York; that he is now "head of in
dustrial relations of National Lamp
Works." though he is serving his
third term in Congress at $4,000 8
year from the public treasury. He
also draws $4,000 year from the
General Electric to "keep 100000

ised Morris Michel, largest cloak
shop in Chicago the right to abolish
all union conditions and fire work
ers at will. But the workers in this

which represents Dubinsky and
President Schlesinger in Chicago,
have protested so much that Schles-
niger himself had to come to
"straighten matter OUT
Out of the 200 members in the
Michel shop a handful came to
Schlesinger's meeting and heard him
say: "You are too good union men,
you are taking advantage of Mr..
Michel" and "if Dubinsky said the
boss had a right to fire anybody
he wanted to, he had right to say
it, and l will stand by him."
Schlesinger said the I.L.G.W. was
very weak, could not make any i'm

the Chicago cloak makers must pay
at least a $5 assessment to cover eX-
penses for the New York fake

The Industrial Union has pointed
out time and again to the Chicago

serving the bosses, and to join the
ranks of the militant Industrial
