Communist Issue

Amendment by Vote
Of123 to 80
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
KLAMATH FALLS, Oreg., Oct.
23.-Harry Bridges. West Coast
longshore leader and c. I. O. di-
rector for California, advised the
convention of the C. I. o. Interna
tional Woodworkers of America yes
terday to forget the Communist
issue.
He declared a labor organization
is on the decline when you start
monkeying with that question"
Asked by a delegate if he was for
or against the I. w. AS proposed
constitutional amendment barring
Communists, Mr.. Bridges replied:
IF you start barring Communists
from your organization, that's just
serving notice on the employer that
all he has to do is to hire all Com
munists and he'll not be bothered
by any unionists."
The convention defeated the
amendment, 1913 to SO, but the spon-
sors, bloc opposing President Har-
old Pritchett of the I. w. A., asked
the amendment be submitted to the
membership by referendum. Mr..
Bridges advised against it, declar-
ing the referendum would leave
the members sick and tired" and
inclined to leave the organization.
A peace plan. designed to unity
the disputing factions, was adopted
1t advised the convention to follow
the c. 1. o. national program and
grant every international union
autonomy in selecting its members
The convention adjourned yester-
day.

Baltic Sovietization
Reported Pressed
Behind Scenes
Communist Penetration
Of Russiu's New Allies
Without Funfure
By LELAND STOWE,

by LELAND SlOWE,
chicaso Daily News Fsreien Correspondent
HELSINKI, Oct. 23.-The close
censorship that grips Estonia has
failed to smother reports that Boil
shevik underground cells are being
organized at an accentuated pace in
all three Baltic states since they
were coerced into becoming allies
Of the Soviets and the establishment
Of Russian garrisons started last
week within their borders.
But unlike the noisy fanfare en-
ployed by the Nazis in Austria and
Czecho- -Slovakia, the Soviets are
seeking gradual penetration Of
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania by
cautious and most discreet opera
tions behind the scenes.
According to information reaching
Helsinki capitalists and wealthy
property owners in the Baltic ma
tions, while very careful to say moth
ing out loud. are deeply anxious
about changes which now seem in
evitable within the course of the
year. They feel that sovietization OF
their national governments is bound
to develop relentlessly and they face
increasing barriers to the liquida-
tion of their holdings. The more
they fight to retain their position
the more they are likely to be SUBJ
jected to retaliation later on when
pro-Soviet ministers have been in
jected into local cabinets.
Russia Given Free Hand.
Abandoned to Russian domination
by Germany, the three Baltic peoples
can scarcely hope to resist bolshevi.
cation indefinitely or successfully
much less so with the Withdrawal
of thousands of Germans who con-
stituted the industrial and profess
sional elite in these little lands. As
a result. Moscow now has free
hand to undermine the political re-
gimes of Tallinn, Riga and Kaunas
with methodical discretion.
Few people in this northern corner
of Europe place any confidence in
the Soviet's assurances that it will
respect the political independence OF
the Baltic states, least of all the
hard-headed Firms whose reinforced
delegation is coming to a showdown
with Dictator Josef v. Stain in the
second and decisive phase of the
conversations, in Moscow, today.
Trade Concessions Likely.
But the Firms do not intend to
have Russian Trojan horse pushed
inside their frontiers and they are
still hopeful that their mobilized
army of about 100000 will make the
Soviets dodge the alternative of a
military invasion.
The dispatch of Finance Minister
Valno Tanner to Moscow with DR.
Juho K. Paasikivi may have an i'm
portant bearing on the outcome
Tanner is chief of the Socialists, the
most powerful party in Finland, and
also is director of a big chain store
cooperative. It is believed that he
may offer trade inducements to the
Soviets in lieu of impossible stra-
tegic concessions. For years Russo
Finnish trade has been much re-
duced so that Finland could greatly

increase its sales of dairy products
and cellulose to the Russians.
No prophecies are made about the
outcome of the Moscow negotiations,
but informed persons express re-
strained optimism that the threat of
hostilities may at least be postponed.

D. {. Appropriation
Bill in Senate After
Speedy House Action
Four Minor Changes
Made in SAG, 900, 900
Measure

The 1910 District appropriation
bill rested in the Senate today after
going through the House yesterday
with unprecedented speed.
Only four relatively minor changes
were made in the bill by the House.
None, however, served to change the
tax picture as originally presented
the lack of necessity of new tax leg
islation In the coming fiscal year to
keep the District Government.out of
the red.
The principal change made by the
House removed from the bill an
authorization for the Commissioners
to enter into contract for construc-
ton of the proposed first unit of
new public library on Pennsylvania
avenue between Fourth and Sixth
streets NV.
$3.50 Added for Griffenhagen.
Another alteration added $l25OO
to the original $46,902,707 recon-
mended by the House appropria-
tons Committee for operation of the
Municipal government for the r.
month period beginning July l. The
increase was made at the request of
Representative Kennedy, Democrat,
OF Maryland, in order to pay Crit
fenhagen and Associates an addi-
tional amount for its reorganization
study Of the District government.
! The original appropriation paid the
firm for its work was 5000
Another change made by the
House authorizes the Commissioners
/ to locate special parking spaces
around all public buildings in WASH
ington for use of members of Con-
| gress.
The fourth amendment, adopted
on recommendation of Representa-
tive Nichols, Democrat, of Okla
homa. is designed to prevent re-
moval of the 80 automobile parking
meters now in operation in the BUSH
ness section for an experimental
| period.
Although the House revoked the
grant Of authority for the Commits
sioners to enter into a contract for
a new library building, it did not
cancel an appropriation for $4,000
provided for its construction. The
change in language was not re-
garded seriously by Representative
Collins. Democrat, of Mississippi
chairman of the District Subcom-
mittee on Appropriations, who
piloted the bill through the House.
I'VE have the money to start work
on the building: that's the impor-
tant thing said Representative
Collins.
Senate May Restore Authority.
Efforts are expected to be made
in the Senate to have the authori-
cation for the Commissioners to
award the contract for the building
restored to the bill
The change in the library item
was made when the House sustained
a point of order raised by Repre-
sentative Rich. Republican, of Penn
sylvania. The section eliminated on
his point of order also struck out O
provision which would make avail
able in the coming fiscal year the

its last exhibition, which begins

In letter to members, the COM

29,670 have come to the museum on
free days
The membership to date is 272,

We regret to state that the men,
bership dues, as well as our paid ad-
missions, have decreased this year.
The total cost of maintaining the
museum has been $4,000. while the
total receipts have been $4,000
The net deficit. therefore. has been
! $4,000. Two members of our COM
mittee agreed in advance to pay the
deficit. and this has been done.
considering these figures, the
committee regrets that it does not
feel justified in continuing the mu-
scum for another year. 1t wishes to
express to you its sincere appre-
citation of your support. which

Debate on the bill was marked py
a controversy over proposals to grant
residents of the District the privilege
Of voting for President and Vice
President and electing their own
representatives in Congress.
Chairman Randolph of the Dis
trict Committee provided the spark
for the discussion when he congratu-
lated Chairman Summers of the

sentative Summers introduced a

reside In the District have a direct

Mr.. Randolph also has resolution
pending in the Judiciary Committee
to grant national representation and
local suffrage to the District.
Rich Takes Up Issue.
Mr.. Randolph's chief opponent
was Representative Rich, who argued

Washington should be the Federal
City, entirely separated from the
States.

District to be operated by the citi-

clared, I'VE will eventually realize
we have done the wrong thing"
The House considered and passed
the bill in 2 hours and so minutes,
whereas 1t usually takes two DAYS.
A protest against this speed was reg

publican, of Wisconsin.

Senator Clark Hits
Silver Program Stand

Senator Clark Democrat, of Idaho

Of Commerce yesterday for its stand
against the Government silver pur-

He said in a statement that a
recommendation of the chamber 6
Finance Committee that the Gov
eminent abandon it's attempt to
bring the ratio of silver up to one
fourth of the Nations gold supply
or at least to raise the world price
to sl29 an ounce was inconsistent
with the chambers desire to hold

there was no currency outstanding

Pittmon Measure Louded
As Boom for South
BACKGROUND

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, April Z
R.-The Pittman bill to permit the
sale Of war materials to any nations
on cash-and-carry basis was de-
Scribed today to the Southeastern
International Relations Clubs as the
best solution of the neutrality ques-
ton, both from the standpoint of
the entire country and that of the
South"
The proposed amendment to the
Neutrality Act, said Virginius Dab
ney, editor of the Richmond Times
Dispatch. tends less toward strangu-
lation of foreign trade than some
of the other proposals, and mas
much as the South is dependent on
such trade almost for its existence,
the bill seems in its interest
while the practical effect of the
Pittman bill would be to favor Brit
ain and France in any European
war, since they would doubtless have
command of the seas" Mr.. Dabney
said, there would be no official pro-
nouncement by Our President that
their enemies were the aggressors.
Thus Britain and France would have
the benefit CT our vast resources,
whereas we would have a better
chance of keeping free of embroil-
ment ourselves"
1T is important to note the effect
which the Pittman bill would have
on Japan, the Souths premier cot
ton market" Mr.. Dabney added
so long as Japan remained domi-
nant in the Pacific and we remained
neutral, Nippon could continue to
buy tremendous quantities of cotton
and other raw materials from the
United States. Britain might be
able to block much of this traffic
In time of war by means of raids
from her great bases at Singapore
and Hongkong. If so, neither the
United States nor the South could
have any legitimate objection, under
the Pittman bill.
"On the other hand, this bill helps
to preserve the South's japanese
market, the closing of which would
cause most serious economic dis
location in the cotton States. An
important consideration here is that
this regions enormous cottonship-
ments to Japan are not being used,
to any large extent, for the manu-
facture of explosives. but rather for
the making Of textiles"
