alone will not be sufficient. In my
opinion in order to build a united
Industrial Automobile Workers
movement the National Conference
must set its aim of working for
Constitutional Convention that will
bring into the movement sill other
auto locals which are not affiliated
with the A. F. of L.
In this connection the auto work
ers in Detroit have a special role
to play. We have to raise the ques-
ton whether we should have a per-
spective to make this rank and file
movement among the auto workers
within the A. F. of L. part Of the
movement for the building of an in
dependent Federation of Labor. In
my opinion, it cannot be otherwise.
Some very important questions
are already coming up. For instance,
is it possible to develop this move
ment for an Industrial Union with
out getting into a sharp clash with
the A. F. of L. officials? The an
swer to this question must be that
a clash will take place, in fact is
taking place already, especially here
in Cleveland.
The success of this movement will
depend upon all our capabilities of
developing in the course of the
movement now, the united front
policy.
The Task of the Party
The Party faces a big task and
must feel great responsibility for
the success Of this movement. Es-
pecially the Party in Detroit must
realize that. A National Confer
ence without proper delegation
from the auto center will reflect a
tremendous political weakness in
this movement.
The Cleveland District Party
Plenum not only took note of the
responsibility and the tasks facing
us, but is taking organizational
measures to develop and execute the
task that we are undertaking. In
my opinion, the Partys work within
the A. F. of L. unions was the
outstanding point at the District
Plenum.
Major attention in the District
Plenum was given to shop and
trade union work. The Plenum
adopted decision that during the
month of September we must ex-
ecute the many decisions and res
olutions made calling upon the
Party members who are eligible to
join a union and to build shop or
CARNATIONS in the factory. Here,
too, I want to add that organiza-
tional measures are being developed
that will insure the execution of
these decisions and the tempo that
must be increased many fold in
order to carry out the key task
facing the party.
Individual responsibility on the
part of the Party members; bolShe-
vik activity by the Party commit
tees, Party fractions in shop and
trade union work This must be-
come the hourly task for the men,
bers.
Execution of the policy of concen-
tration, systematic following up Of
work started by the units, sections
district and fractions in shop and
trade union work will be the further
guarantee for bolShevizing the
Party. Fundamental change in the
language work in accordance with
the resolution of the Party will be
a tremendous help in building the
Party among the masses in the fac
tories All this is decisive in order
that We build independent action
in the reformist unions and to build
the National Automobile Conference
into powerful movement uniting
more and more the militant forces
under the leadership of our Party.

WOMEN ASK AID
ON PAROLES

Resolutions calling for financial
Aid to the District Parole Board
and condemning present plans for
4 new sewage plant as inadequate
were adopted today by the Dis,
hict of Columbia Federation OF
Women's Clubs at meeting in
Barker Hall, Seventeenth and K
Streets Northwest.
:. Action on the parole situation
was taken after Miss M. Pearl Nc.
Call, former assistant . district at
torney, explained that lack of
funds had resulted in the board
becoming the target of recent
criticism. None of the board mem.
berS is paid, she said, and there
are just one parole officer and
one stenographer to perform
duties for which the board hopes
some day to employ a half dozen
assistants.
The resolution provides that
federation members will lobby in
Congress at the coming session
for a $4,000 appropriation for
the parole group.
Plans for the sewage plant were
criticized on the ground the prof.
ect would not halt pollution Of
streams about the city. Further
study Of the problem was sug-
geSted.

INVALID BEATEN
BY TWO MEN

A 74-year.old crippled man is
in a serious condition in Casu-
atty Hospital today. beaten with
his own crutcheS and robbed as
he slept in his home.
The victim, Frederick Blakes.
lee, of the 200 block Fourth St,
N. w., told police he had been
attacked by two men he found
standing over his bed early today.
The men grabbed his crutches,
he said, and beat him.
Mr.. Blakeslee was found un-
conscious by other persons in the
house attracted by groans coming
from his room. A pair Of trousers
containing $40 was stolen.
That evasive burglar, variously
dubbed the twilight" thug, the
"toothpick" burglar and the "elec.
trio" thief, was at work again
the weekend.
M. ]. Mcmillan, Of the 1900
block Twenty-eighth st. N. w
was his lone victim. Mr.. McMil-
lian reported his home ransacked
and clothing and jewelry valued
at $170 stolen.
The thief has operated here
for nearly two years and has thus
far evaded capture. Uusually
making his "call" during the
twilight hours, he cripples the
light service in the home and
stuffs the front door keyhole with
toothpicks to prevent entrance
before starting his search for
Valuables.

MRS. 'LEMORE
LOSES ACTION
FOR $4,000

Failure to obtain service Of pro
cess upon Otto B. Mclean, former
officer of Maury-McLean Inc.
real estate operators. resulted ir
the loss Of a $4,000 suit instituted
by Mrs. Maude S.. McLemore ir
connection with a real estate trans
action in an opinion rendered to
day by the District Court of Ap
peals.
The court held Mclean respon
sible for a Swindle upon Mrs. Nc
Lemore. The opinion stated:
"ThiS Is unfortunate for the
plaintiff. She has been very un-
justly dealt with in this case.
It is very unfortunate that the
person who is responsible to her
is not before the court and con-
not be made responsible for his
wrong"
ACTED THROUGH AGENT
Acting through an agent, Nc.
Lean, John F. Maury, and Frank
E. Ghiselli, in 1925, purchased a
piece Of property in the 1900 block
K st. N. w. Julius I. Peyser later
entered the transaction as a
fourth party to the purchase.
Under terms Of the purchase
contract, $4,000 was to be turned
over to a title company within a
specified period. Three of the
purchasers posted their share of
this payment, but a check written
by Mclean was diShonored.
Mclean then represented to
Mrs. McLemore that he would sell
her a fourth interest in the
property for $4,000, which she
advanced. Mclean took the money
and turned it over to Maury for
an indebtness due him. He later
conveyed his interest in the prop
erty to Maury in payment for an.
other indebtness.
Mrs. McLemore then sued for
an accounting, but Mclean was
never served with process of the
suit.
Did Not Consent
Sustaining the trial court, the
Court Of Appeals held Maury and
the other purchasers were with.
out knowledge Of the fraud COM
mitted by Mclean and did not
consent to his act.
In a dissenting opinion, Assoc.
late Justice Lewrence Groner held
that since Mclean and Maury
were partners and the other two
purchasers knew Of the existance
of this partnership, they were
jointly bound" and Mrs. Nc
Lemore was entitled to an &C.
counting.

FUSION RUMORS
BOIL OVER IN
MONTGOMERY

Major appointive jobs in Mont
gomery county'S government that
probably will be filled by the
Fusion,controlled board of county
commissioners as soon as they
take office we're subject Of much
speculation in the county today.
It is expected commissions for
the five members of the board
three are adherents of the Fusion
party-will arrive today from An
napolis. They were mailed there
late Friday.
Among the posts to be filled Is
that of chief of police, now &C.
cupied by A. A. MoXley, OF Da-
mascus, Md, a Democratic ap-
pointee. A large number of can.
didates for the position are in the
field.
To Fill Clerks Job
The office of Col. Charles Y.
Latimer as clerk to the board Of
county commissioners will be an
other that will be filled immedi'
ately, Fusion leaders said. Mr..
Latimer is a Democrat, as are
practically all other appointive Of
ficers of the county.
The office of counsel to the
board of commissioners is another
patronage appointment that the
Fusion leaders will fill shortly
after they take office. This posi-
ton is now filed jointly by Roger
Whiteford and Joseph Cissel, a
law firm.
Lesser Posts to Wait
There will be no immediate
change in the lesser personnel.
It is expected the Democratic ap.
pointees will be gradually" ousted
in a few months.
The board will be composed Of
three FusionistS, Charles E.
King, Frank H. Karn and Paul M.
Coughlan, and two Democrats,
both incumbents, Richard H,
Lansdale and Robert D. Hagner.
Political leaders in Rockville be.
1ieve that Mr.. Karn will be elected
chairman Of the board at its first
meeting.

Revival
Asked by Pastor

A plea for a national spiritual
revival was made by DR.. Cove
g. johnson, pastor Of the Ma
tional Baptist Memorial Church
yesterday. In his sermon he said: {:
"America is in desperate
need today. Our sacred inStitu-
tions are threatened. The prin-
ciples Of sound government are
flouted on every hand. Power.
full foes Of righteousness are
multiplying. Youth is in dan.
ger; the evils of atheism, in.
fidelity, intemperance beset
them. Communism is storing
up mass hatred and revoIu.
tiOn."
To offset these evils, he said
the nation must turn to God.

County Launches
Drive TO Halt
Gambling

All law enforcement agencies Of
Montgomery county, Md, today
are pushing an unrelenting war
on gambling in all sections Of the
county.
Grand jurors Of the county
charged recently by Judge Charles
w. Woodward, of the Sixth judi
cial circuit, to stamp out" all
forms of gambling in the county
are expected before their term ex-
pires in the spring to investigate
reports of gambling in the county.
Already, it was learned, the jury
has probed a number Of reports
which sprang up following the
Staying of Allan Wilson, news
paper circulation man and father
of three small children, in Takoma
Park some weeks ago.
Montgomery county has for
some years been free Of organized
gambling, and the only type car
ried on there now, it was said, is
very limited. Although from time
to time Washington gamblers
have lived in the county they did
not operate there.
Throughout gambling circles of
Baltimore, Washington and other
nearby points the word has been
passed:
"Stay away from Montgomery
county. 1t used to be tough to
operate there. Now its dyna-
mite"
The charge Of Judge woodward
to the grand jury is taken by
citizens to be direct challenge to
law breakers, and an indication
that the Poolesville jurist will not
stand for infiltration of gambling
and vice in the county.

CLAW REMOVAL
ORDERFOUGHT

A bitter court battle over re
moval of "claw" machines in
stores here loomed today as sew
eral novelty companies, distribu
tors of merchandise in the ma
chimes, made known their inten
tions to fight the removal order
of District Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett.
Harry T. Whelan, counsel for
the companies, declared:
"By no stretch of Imagination
can these claw machines be
called gaming devices as there
is no way they may be used
for gambling purposes.
TT is simply new and
novel way of retailing merchan-
disc. My clients have no idea
Of allowing an arbitrary order
to ruin their legitimate enter
prise and intend to carry their
case to a high court for de-
ciSiOn if necessary"
Mr.. Whelan pointed out that
the companies have large sums
of money invested in merchandise
stocks which are being distributed
as prizes in the machines.
Mr.. Garnett has declared the
order to rid the city of the ma
chimes before December l, followed
several complaints to his office
by citizens groups and parents that
school children we're losing their
lunch funds in the machines.
