4 THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, FKIDATf JULY 18, 1919. S TO BE IN SEDITION PLOT New York Committee Told of Radical Activities. 1.1 W. W. LEADERS BLAMED Garment Workers, With Membershfp of 70,000, Alleged to FaTor Soviet Form of CoTernment. KETW YORK, July 17. James T. Holland, president of the Sew Tbrk Btate Federation of Labor, testifying today before the joint legislative com mittee Investigating radical and sedi tious activities in this state, declared taht the I. W. W. had organized many thousands of workers throughout the country on a platform which included In its plank one calling for the destruc tion of the American government. The most powerful of the radical organiza tions, Mr. Holland asserted, was the Amalgamated Garment Workers of America, with a membership which he estimated at 70,000. As an evidence of the wide sweeping plans of the I. W. W.p leaders were read into the testimony. In which I. W. "VV. leaders urged European and South American workers to join In a scheme for an "international revolutionary in dustrial union." One of the most am bitious projects was the organization of the marine workers of the two Americas and the maritime European countries Into 'one big union." The most fruitful field found by tho radicals in this country, according to Mr. Holland, has been the garment In dustry, the second greatest industry In the United States. Asked what were the principles of the organization formed by the I. W. W. among the garment workers, Mr. Holland replied: . . . "They don't believe In government. They preached that behind closed doors and now some of them preach it out of doors." The witness was then asked if it ever had been brought to his attention that the Almagamated Garment Workers favored a soviet form of government. "It has not only been brought to my attention, but it has been rammed down my throat," 'replied Mr. Holland. "But the majority of the workingmen and women are Americans first and not So viets, a ssome would have us believe." LYNCHING IS SUGGESTED MEDFORD AUTHORITIES GUARD - : PRISONER, FEARI"G MOB. Barney, . under the name " of Clyde O'Neill, married the girl in France last January. Eight months before he was due to be discharged from the service, he obtained his release-by pleading the illness of his young wife. Barney pretended to read to his wife a supposed letter he had written his parents telling them of the match, but the letter was never written and his father and mother did not know of his marriage. To bring his young bride to America, Barney borrowed the money from her parents. Two weeks after arriving " in Portland with her, Barney left her. That was three weeks ago. An information of felony was filed by Miss Li da O'Brien, deputy dis trict attorney, Wednesday, when the matter was brought to her attention by C. Henri Labbe. French consul, and members of the Red Cross to whom the young French women had gone for aid. In jail. Barney asked his wife if she would not come back to him and live in Cascade Locks where he could get a job, working for his father, R. C. Bar ney, a contractor. She replied that she would not, unless she received some sort of assurance that he would not desert her again. "Haven't you any confidence In me?" he pleaded. "No," she replied, the negative in French being easily understood. CHURCHES MAPflllT, WOBK RELIGIOUS SURVEY TO BE MADE IX PORTLAND. Large 5am of Money to' Be Raised. World. Movement Conference .

Hibernians in Convention Will Hear Appeal From Erin for Free dom From England. SACRAMENTO, Cal., July 17. A state of war exists between Ireland and Eng land, Eamonn ' de' Valera. provisional president of the "Irish republic," as serted upon his arrival here this after noon en route to San Francisco to address the convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of the United States and Canada. "David Lloyd George, the British pre mier, had no authority to represent Ireland at the Paris peace conference," declared De Valera. "Ireland was then and is now, by right, an Independent nation. Ireland was not represented at the peace conference and is not bound by its acts. The Irish people, united as never before, will never quit fichtlng till they have thrown off the British yoke." In an address delivered later he said: "I am putting the case of Ireland squarely before the American people. It is a question as between England anjl Ireland, between right and might. and I have no doubt of their verdict. "The Irish question is not one of factional light among Irishmen, no matter how much English politicians may strive to make It appear just that The Irish people by an overwhelming majority have voted for complete in dependence. "Nor is it a religious question, de spite efforts of our enemies to make It anoear In that licht. W hen the repub lie was proclaimed religious freedom was made a principle of the govern ment, and if that government Is allowed to operate, every man will be allowed to worship God as he pleases." AMERICA HELD WORLD LEADER Irish President Says Others Look for Direction of Moral Thought. SAN FRANCISCO. July17. Eamonn De Valera. provisional president of the "Irish Republic." speeding today on a special train to. San Francisco, where he will be the central figure during the remaining sessions of the national con vention of the Ancient Order of Hi bernians, telegraphed to the San Fran cisco Bulletin a message In which he characterized the United States as moral leader of the wolld. "The cause which American public opinion aligns itself behind today as being Just, the whole world will accept and support tomorrow," he said. "The clear evidences of the sincerity with which the Americans support the cause of democratic government in Ireland is to me the greatest surety that gov ernment by the consent of the governed will obtain in Ireland and that our peo ple will no longer be compelled by military force to live under a sov ereignty which they do not desire and never have desired. " JUIH. RILEY LURES PASTOR beet for some time to persnade the New York minister to pay Portland a visit. They had all but given up hope, however, when a telegram came In which Dr. McElveen promised to make the sum mer trip. How the telegram came to be sent is a story casting an Interest ing sidelight upon Mr. Riley's eastern lecture on Oregon. "I was endeavoring to entertain friend one evening and as we were leaving the hotel wondering where w would go we noticed a placard adver tising Mr. Riley's lecture on the Ore gon country," said Dr. McElveen. "I suggested to my companion that we at tend the lecture, taking a back seat ao that we could make our getaway when me la l k oecarae tiresome. "But It was far from tiresome, and when the address mas over I went un to Mr. Riley and told htm I was going to Portland. I threatened that I would get even with him if I did not find everything as he had pictured. I sent a telegram to the Portland people Im mediately afterwards." It Is understood that Dr. McElveen Is considering an informal call to the Portland church, although no announce ment to that effect has been made. Testerday he declined to comment upon the possibility of his remaining here, although he pronounced himself as wonderfully impressed with tho Oregon country. .'I nnd the reality every bit as beau tiful and delightful as the photographs," ne sain, "ana I reel Indebted to Mr. Riley for introducing me to the west."
