There appears to be q belief that the

to have Congress see the need OF a
specially built ar1nory for the local
troops, which would serve as a model
for National Guard organizations Of the

Oflcials of the Guard have not dis
closed any plans for presenting their
case to Congress. Two groups have
been giving consideration to the aFmory
problem, the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and a special
commission named by the District OF
Columbia Commissioners. So FAR there
has not been disclosed any definite plan
Of action on the part of these COM
missions, except that the Federal Park
and Planning Commission recommended
against the location of the arTnory IN
the present washington Auditorium, as
was proposed some time ego.
The question has been made that the
armory I've constructed In the proposed
new Municipal Center, or adjacent to
It, and Judiciary Square has been sug-
gested as q possible site. The proposal
also has been made to Congress that
the Pension Building be assigned fof

Accounting Office Is completed Within

with the approval of local citizens

Cost of feeding, clothing, guarding,
giving medical attention and other
services to prisoners has increased
from approximately $4,000 month
in 1926 to 100000 month. In these
figures lies one of the most perplex-
ing problems of the state, inasmuch
as Alabama possesses facilities for
only 5000 prisoners. The problem
will become greater when cold
weather necessitates housing of the
1000 prisoners now quartered in road
camps.
These 5000 convicts cost the state
$25 month each, or $1,800,000 a
year. The highway work in which
some of them have been employed
will soon be completed and the high
way department will turn them back
to the convict department.
The prohibition law is largely re-
sponsible for the excessive prison
population, officials say.

Toronto (ILNS)-The Communist
International at Moscow furnished
$4,000 to launch the communist party
of Canada, but after 1922 no further
cash assistance was given, Moscow
holding the movement should be self
supporting. At first there were two
parties-one known as the "A' party,
which gave all the appearance of be-
ing a legitimate organization; the
other was the ~" party, which car
ried on the illegal work of the COM
munist international.
This was the testimony of Sergeant
John Leopold, of the Royal Canadian
mounted police, at the trial OF nine
officials of the communist party, who
are charged with being members OF
an illegal organization having as its
object ''the overthrow of existing in
stitutions and social organizations ir
the country by the application of vio-
lence and force"
Leopold said that, under police in
structions, he had joined the commu
mist party under the name of E. w
Esselwain and for nine years actet
as secretary of the branch in Regina
Saskatchewan, and attended variou!
conventions.

about many things. sometimes pre-
foundly, sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Major Frederick Palmer has writ
ten the story of Newton d. Baker
and his five years of war experience
1t is moving story, bound into two
volumes that nick the buyer for $3.50,
which in all too many cases will have
to go for food and shoes, and not for
books.
Baker made great start, along
with Tom johnson in Cleveland, when
the welkin rang with regularity and
a whole lot of precision in Johnson's
Scent fare days.
He came to the war department
rated as pacifist and he got himself
nicknamed Pansy Baker. Anyhow he
ran the war department and got
along pretty much OK. with organ
lied labor. After Baker got back into
private practice it's another story
not SO good, from some angles, par
ticularly labor's angle.
However, Maj. Palmer went dig
ging through the Baker records and
he found a good deal besides Baker
For example, he found, inevitably,
Samuel Gompers.
Was there anybody in those war
days any more active than Samuel
Gompers? Not even John ]. Perish
ing himself. To Maj. Palmer, Com
pers' active part in the war was zone
of the revelations of the records"
This activity was to such point that
he came gradually to the conviction
that "by the summer of 1918 the home
effort was better organized than that
in France"
1t may be that a half century will
have to elapse before the full worth
of Samuel Gompers will be written
into the records and laid open to all
men.
The war days were not exceptional
for Samuel Gompers, except that they
changed the course and enlarged the
scope of his efforts.
The war days didn't make Gompers
work harder, because he always
worked up to capacity. If it wasn't
war it was organizing, or fighting in
functions.
But the war activities were pom
derous, dealing with matters of enor-
nous size.
Missions were dispatched to Eur
ope, just as formerly organizers had
been dispatched to Illinois. He head
ed one himself.
Large conferences and small con
ferences were organized.
Men were called from across the
country and men were sent across the
country.
A great enterprise for Mexican.
American cooperation was organized
And there was the American Alliance
for Labor and Democracy.
What mani Maj Palmer has
found it out A great many trade
unionists knew it from observation
and participation with that amazing
| leader.
We have just passed another Ar
mistice Day. Orators said it marked
another mile post since the guns were
silenced
But the guns have never beer
silenced True, they haven't blazed OF
that terrific western front, but some
where in the world they have beer
blazing through all of those Is year:
and today they blaze in Manchuria
Gompers labored to end war, bu
war hasn't ended. That was not hi
failure, nor labor's failure.
A professed pacifst himself, HI
came, in the war. to call himself "a
first class fighting man." and so HI
was.
So every trade unionist will have t.
be, until the ways of democracy sup
plant throughout our great industria
structure the lash and spur of autoc
racy and until political life yields t.
