In spite of this, the men on which organized labor made its fight. “That proves,” Wood said, “that workers in the city and the workers on the farm are learning to act together politically.

The government’s pension bill was presented in the chamber by Count de Lasteyrie, who made it a question | of confidence in the government. | By a narrow margin, seven votes, the deputies defeated the measure. The vote was 271 to 264 ‘ Poincare immediately met with his ministers and after some discussion of reforming the cabinet, went to the Elysee and presented the resignation of the entire cabinet to the president. Like Thunderbolt From Calm Sky. Defeat of the government by the Chamber came like a thunderbolt from a calm sky. Count, De Lastey- rie, in demanding that the Chamber amend the text of the pensions bill somewhat differently from the way it had been voted in the senate, claimed the existing text meant too great expenditure. Yells of protest came from the left where Communist members who approved large pension appropria- tions, leaped to their feet. The finance minister put his mo- tion as a question of confidence. Amid great excitement the vote was taken. Pandemonium In Chamber. Count De Lesteyrie grabbed up his papers and hurried out to find Premier Poincare, amid pandemon- ium 'in the Chamber. Poincare was before ~the foreign affairs commission in the Chamber building, entirely ignorant that his government had fallen. Count De Lasteyrie got word to him in the midst of a speech. “Gentlemen, I am_ sorry I must leave,” Poincare told the commis- sion’ and as a number of excited deputies crowded around the door and pleaded with him not to resign, he forced his way thru them and rushed over to the Quai D’Orsay. Shortly thereafter those ministers who had not been able to reach the Quai D’Orsay in time, came to the president’s -palace. ‘As soon as all had arrived, Poin- care presented the cabinet’s resigna- tion. President ‘Millerand asked him 2ind-lis ministers to remain in office despite the adverse vote, but they refused to do so. Political observers blame Count De Lasteyrie for tne crisis. They say he made a grave tactical error in putting the question to the Cham- ber in the form in which he did. Millerand Is Dissatisfied. President Millerand was ° ex- tremely dissatisfied with Poincare’s insistence upon resigning. After re- luctantly accepting the resignation, he ordered the entire cabinet to ap- pear in the Chamber this afternoon. He requested the presidents of the senate and the Chamber of Deputies to be there and said he would ex- plain his attitude. As he climbed into his automo- bile upon leaving the Elysee, Poin- care was asked: “Are you resigning definitely even if President Millerand charges you with re-forming the cabinet ” The imperialist statesman waved a hand evasively and declined to reply. It was thought likely that Miller- and might persuade Poincare to re- sume office in view of the immin- ence of the elections, to be held in May and the foreign situation, es- pecially with the experts’ reports due shortly. Petert, president of the Chamber of Depu- ties, indicated that~President Mil- 000,000 “deal.” She said she asked Smith one day if he had profited in a certain deal, “Jess said that five men in the past few days had made $33,000,000,” she testified. “I asked him if he and Herry whose seats were contested were al- TOHAVE UNION'S port. 4rom locals that have never func- lowed to vote on the committee's r& They come from local unions that have long since gone out of existence, ‘ may be no class issue drawn between the Democrats and Republicans.

Ashurst asked Mrs, Stinson to give more details regarding the $33,000,- 000 deal. “Jess Smith and I were at home in my apartment,” she said. “He men- tioned losing money on the stock market, I asked him why he ‘didn’t stop it. He said he would and he did the following January. He said ‘Just think five fellows made $33,000,000 in just a few days on the Stock mar- ket I asked him if Daugherty and he were in on it. He said ‘No, and they were good friends of ours, too.’” “Did he mention the names?” “I rather imagine he did.” “Well, tell us the details,” Ashurst insisved. \ “] don’t like to and I have a good reason for it, too.” “What I would like to know,” Brookhart broke in, “is whether KE. B. McLean was one of them?” Mrs. Stinson did not answer. Brookhart announced that the mat- ter would be taken under considera- tion in executive session and it would then be decided whether she would be required to answer. Mrs. Stinson said that she had told no one on the committee. When Roxie Stinson took the stand today she charged Harry M. Daugh- erty with moral responsibility for the death of her former husband, Jesse Smith.’ She declared Jesse Smith’s will was written in his own hand- writing on Wardman Park Hotel sta- tionery. The will was not probated in Ohio, therefore it was held invalid by the Daugherty boys who seem to have gobbled up everything Smith left behind him except his former wife, She is the adder in their path.

Taylor made his announcement in the court of “Dennie” Sullivan, the willing tool of open shop employers during the afternoon while the cases of ten strikers, charged with “con- tempt” under injunction proceedings were being heard. “Return to Picket Line.” Detective Patrick Collins, of State’s Attorney Crowe’s staff had just taken the stand and testified that he had personally made 70 arrests of pickets and that the pickets in- variably returned to the picket line as soon as they were released. Lec Heller, a manufacturer, had also appeared with loud complaints about an alleged assault upon him by three strikers at his home at 2813 W. 18th Place, but he admitted to Attorney Peter Sissman, while Judge Sullivan scowled, that he could not identify any of the strikers and that he had not been hurt.

Replying that such a proceeding was most unusual Sissman took the stand.

Fagan Good Henchman. President Fagan, presiding over his convention, is doing his best to emu- late his master, international presi- dent, John L. Lewis, and the man- ner in which he jammed over the credentials committee report, aided, of course, by his army of “Blue Sky” delegates, was a disgrace to the min- ers’ organization. The Progressives, however, are not going to stop at’ this. They are go- ing to expose the machine and its tricks.. They are filing protests against the seating of every delegate from the questionable locals and in- tend to fight it out before any busi- ness is transacted, Speakers occupied the rest of the morning session, among whom were the miners’ attorney in the Clifton- ville, West Va, riot cases, and James H. Maurer, president of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Labor. The Progressives have called a protest mass meeting for tonight. “Jim” Maurer declared that, “NOW is the time to launch a Third Party” to the delegates assembled in the convention. Amusement Parks—Some Issue! Lee,Hall, cog of the machine and president of District 6, Ohio, pleaded with the delegates to take part in the old party primaries to. bring the necessary relief. Amusement was given considera- tion when a representative of an amusement park company was al- lowed to describe the facilities of his fun plant, While he was talking delegate interrupted to inform the convention that his Jocal had sent him to the convention to work for conditions and not to hear about amusement parks. With the “Blue Sky” delegates and visiting speakers or spell-binders the machine is for having its own way. Lies galore are being told, but the ones against whom they are told are not permitted to answer. % The outstanding feature of today’s sessions was the insistance of Dele- Pat H: Toohey to have an explana- tion made of the revocation of the charter of the local union at Arden Mines. This local, fhe one from which Tom Myerscough was expelled, had its charter taken away because of its refusal to return to work after striking against a violation of con- tract. President Fagan took occasion to make false charges against Myers- cough and stated that Myerscough was in the gallery. The charge was that the secretary of the Progressive International . Committee, of the United Mine Workers of America, made a motion to work the Arden inine nine hours a day. Lewis Hasn’t Confidence In Patton. This was denied by, delegates and a request was made that Myerscough be permitted to explain th» situa- tion, but no consideration was given into a position that might disqualify him from representing his clients and giving them the legal defense the rejected by the senate oil com- mittee today by at vote of 8 to 2.

T&e Washington county organization, which has fourteen local unions affiliated, with a membership of two thousand, will not only celebrate the rapid strides which have already been made, but will lay plans which are expected to further bring about a great refor- mation in the political policies of this section of the state.

Lewis's friends suggest that his record of support of Hard- ing in the 1920 campaign is just as prominent as was Berry’s record in support of Cox. There is not a tinge of “red” about either man, Berry, Gompers Man, The candidacy of labor men for second place on the capitalist party tickets this year is traced by some of the political experts to a desire to prove that labor gets a square deal from the old party machines on the one hand, and that labor can get quicker results within the old parties than from a third party on the other hand. The candidacy of George I. Berry, represents the hope of Samuel Gompers and his associates in the ma- jority controlling the American Fed- eration of Labor to make the labor movement as prominent on the Dem- ocratic side of the 1924 campaign as jn the campaign of 1916. The Fed- eration efficials believe that if Berry could be nominated he would be elected and that labor legislation of the type approved by the American Federation of Labor officials would be effectively promoted in the next Congress. Both Ignore Injunction. It is equally clear in the opinion of Lewis’s backers that if Lewis were nominated and elected as vice presi- dent, the G. O. P. would become in- terested in labor legislation and would outdo the Democrats in sym- thy with the man in overalls. The face candidacy ignores the injunc- tion reeord of A. Mitchell Palmer and the Lewis candidacy snaps an Some enthusiasts have proposed that William H. Johnston, president Machinists, shall be nominated for vice president on the ticket with La- Follette. Johnston is ineligible since he was born in Nova Scotia, but another trade unionist may easily be found to accept the honor when the new party or new ticket is an- nounced at Cleveland in July. ; Catering to Progressives. Si National politics have been so pro- foundly affected by the oil investiga- tion and the Daugherty scandal that the nomination of trade unionists for good and ready and if I am forced out, hell will break loose.” This ended the Coolidge effort for the time being, but astute Massa- chusetts political leaders have not yet given up hope. They believe a certain figure can be named that would make Daugherty see a resie- nation blank in a more tractable spirit. They feel he has his price, but the trouble is to pass the cash in secret. This place is rotten with spies. They all spy on each other and now Frank V, Vanderlip has a horde of them nosing into every nook and cranny. Little’s Hanging—“Patriotic” Stunt, It is known, for instance, that Senator Wheeler has a barrel of evidence on William J. Burns, Daugherty’s chief fink. So enraged are the cornered republican leaders that hud are striking desperately in all directions and unloading the seourings of the Burn’s office qn thr public in an effort to divert atten- tion. The Republican National Com- mittee sent out a story attacking Wheeler and his associates in Mon- dence in his ability to “run the tana, and gloating over the hanging the vice presidency this year may not be found unnecessary. Already ‘the old party bosses are seeking to avoid a terrific battle in the Dem- ocratic convention at New York, by asking for the counsel of radical Democrats. The Iroquois Club of Chicago, for example, has invited Senator Wheeler to be its guest of taken up with Mayor Deven .* 8 WILL WIN BY FIGHTING. While Alderman Nelson was sur- rendering to reactionary politicians at the city council hundreds of strikers were listening to an inspir- ing message from Leo Krazucki, or- ganizer for the Amalgamated Cloth- ing Workers at the I, L. G. Ww. U. strike hall at 180 W, Washington street. Demanding defiance of Judge “Pennie” Sullivan’s injunction the speaker ‘held up the example Eugene V. Debs who defied the capi- talist court’s injunction in the great Pullman strike of 1894. Defy Injunction, Like Debs. The garment strikers must not fear to follow the same tactics as Eugene V. Debs, he urged, while the strikers cheered. “Debs lives today while the judges who sentenced him are forgotten,” cried the speaker. Hailing the courage of Sophie Altschuler who had been beaten un- conscious by police while in the per- formance of her union duty, Krz- zycki said that both the. Amala- mated Clothing Workers and the In- ternational Ladies’ Garment Work- ers have had many bitter strikes and in every big strike there has been a Sophie Altschuler. “Some pickets went on the picket line never to return,” he said, “but they kept the fight going for union- ism.” Cheer Attacks on Court. Strikers applauded again ano again every defiance of the courts and police whom the employers are using to try to crush their fight for better living conditions, The cheers reached their highest march on city hall which girl gar- of the International Association of [ment workers were making that af- ternon to see whether the politicians were going to protest police brutal- ity or not. He continued by saying that it was not enough just to march to the city hall but that the work- ers must prepare to march to Springfield and to Washington and to take the reins of government over for the benefit of their class. On to the Picket Line! “Every soldier on the job on the picket line,” he cried. “You can get nothing without fighting: that is the only way the workers won in Russia.” Back again on the picket line the girls went that afternoon. Picket- ing showed more pep during the day than it has since early in the strike. The strikers know that scabs must be fept away in spite of police, and the numerous arrests made yester- honor at its annual dinner, and it is reported here that Tammany Hall is haewise sounding out the “red” Dem- ocrats with a view to having one-or more of them make speeches in New York within the next few weeks. The idea seems to be that the Dem- ocratic bosses have begun to fear the La-Follette movement more than they fear Coolidge, and they want to offer concessions to the radical Democratic spokesmen in order to prevent a great section of their par- ¥ from marching over into the La- ‘ollette camp. It is a safe guess that the government ownership and democratic management of railways will be one of the tests of faith of- fered to the Bourbon leaders by the men whom they are seeking to hold in line, day did not dampen their ardor.
