Glassford Describes
Communist Hysteria
In Imperial Valley
Revolutionary Activity
Is Charged to U. S.
Interior Official
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. T.-Echoes
Of labor strife several years ago in
California's rich Imperial Valley are
being heard in the chambers Of the
Senate's Civil Liberties Committee.
Gen. Pelham D. Glassford. former
chief Of police in Washington, D. c.,
testified at yesterdays hearing that
Chester Williams, whom he identi-
ned as an assistant commissioner
Of education in the Department of
Interior, "and a group with him
attempted to make the Imperial
Valley a laboratory or a sort Of
proving ground for revolutionary
activity"
Gen. Glassford, now manager of
land companies in Arizona, was
special Labor Department conciliator
in the Imperial Valley for three
months in 1884.
He said "Communistic leaders"
took advantage OF employers failure
to organize workers into a promised
union and that employers retaliated
by circulating reports of bomb
threats which did not materialize.
Union Meetings Attacked.
Gen. Glassford described poorly
housed, poorly paid alien Mexican
agricultural workers and unem-
ployed countrymen as ready prey
for "Communistic agitators.' He
told Of attacks on union meeting
halls and said on one occasion
sheriff's deputies used tear gas and
hardwood clubs upon a crowd which
included many women and children.
His suggestion of a grand jury
investigation was without result, the
general added.
Denials of Gen. Glassford's claims,
including his assertion that Com
munistic hysteria" enveloped the
valley. were made by Elmer Heald,
Imperial County district attorney
He said arrests were made on
properly sworn warrants and de-
PENDANTS given jury trials. Efforts
were made to bring to justice vigi-
lantes responsible for attacks on at
torneys for the unions, but he said
the latter could not identify their
assailants and declined to return
and appear in court.
Slayings Ended Talks.
Joseph M. Casey of San Francisco,
now an executive of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood OF Teamsters,
described trip to the Imperial VAL
ley early in 1895 as an A. F l., rep-
resentative
He said efforts were being made
to reach an agreement between
shippers and union leaders, but that
conference broke up when word
was received Of the killing of two
union men in a packing she'd.
Mr.. Heald, recalled to the stand,
testified he called all available wit
nesses to the double Staying before
the grand juryewhich failed to vote
an indictment.

Harreld Piano
Concert Success
By G. Arthur Sheppard

On Tuesday evening, March 80,
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church presented Miss Josephine
Harreld, pianist, in a recital at the
Senior high school auditorium.
Miss Harreld Immediately crea-
ted a most favorable impression by
her attractive appearance and gra-
cious manner as well as by a pro-
gram that promised much. It's con-
tents were admirably chosen from
some of the finest piano literature
and provided with highly intelli-
gent and interesting notes..
Her piano technique was exquis-
itely controlled, her tone clear and
definite in the subdued as well as
the more dramatic phrases. Her
program was beautifully designed
to give full scope to her versatile
ty, imagination and authentic mus
icianship.
This reporter enjoyed most of all
Miss Harreld's Interpretation of
"Summerland," by William Grant
Still, which she painted prettily
and lightly, and the difficult Rig
oletto Paraphrase of Liszt.

Even the most rabid Negro.
batter would hesitate before
decrying the motive that put
the foce of Booker T. Wash
ington upon a stamp. We use
stamps to honor our great and
the Negro educator was one
of these. Few Americans left
life stories more inspiring
than his and there can have
been no age, among any peo-
pie, to which he would not,
in his simple, sincere way,
have been an ornament. The
Booker T. Washington stamps
has called forth not a little
comment, of which this, from
The Christian Science Mont
tor, is rather typical:
Booker T. Washington's face
upon a new United States stamp
is symbolic of the fruitage of true
democracy. The Negro educator,
thus honored on the fifty-ninth an

which he founded, takes rank in
the history of the world among
those who loved, sacrificed, and
strove nightly for the good of
their fellow men.
up from Slavery himself, DIR.
Washington won his education I'M
der the most severe difficulties;
then turned to labor increasingly
and with remarkable vision to in
sure means of higher education
for his people. Eventually he re-
ceived academic honors for his Ia
bors and became the friend of
Presidents.
"One sentence of Booker Wash
ington might be quoted today as
challenge to much of the worlds
wrong-thinking: mo man
shall drag me down so low as to
make me hate him."
Washington was a national
leader, not only of his own
race but of multitudes of adj
mirers in the white race, dur
ing a long period. He was as
forceful as he was fortnight
and his piety was no more
striking than his optimism.
Perhaps the last quality could
have endured so long and so
stoutly in none but a Negro
it is characteristic of the race.
No one man, or woman, could
have advanced the colored
people of this country as they
have been elevated, in recent
decades; but no man, white
or black, deserved more Gre
dit for that advance. Without
Washington, Lincoln's a C t
might have effected far less.
