As a result of the report submitted in St. Petersburg the labor organiza- tion’s executive council expressed it- self convinced that a group of Com- munists, closely allied with the Rus- slan Soviet, virtually controlled the International Fur Workers’ Union of ew York. All possible assistance as pledged in ridding the union of ‘ommunistic leadership and destruc- tive influences,” as long as no finan- cial obligation was involved. In the report it was asserted that the strike in New York was marked by “wasteful and corrupting expendi- tures and practices” which were the result of Communist control. More than $800,000 was said to have heen spent on the strike, of which $51.156 was reported to have been used as graft. bl MEN’SEI:UB WILL HEAR ADDRESS ABOUT MEXICO | Vermont Avenue Christian Church Group Plans Get-Together Monday Evening.

Oyler, chief of the Federal Narcotic Bureau in this distriet, lives in the same house. Oyler, earlier in the day, caused the arrest of a woman, reputed to be he head of a syndicate of drug smugglers. Prosecutor Is Notified Several features of the case, sald volice, pointed to the fact that the two men might have been looking for Oyler. David P. Siegel, assfstant United | States attorney in charge of uncov- ering the narcotic ring, was notified at his home of the shooting almost as quickly as were the police.
