ALIENS ARE IN CHARGE Strlko Leader Accused to Face With Being Identified With Ix:n ine and Trotzky 3Iove. "WASHIXGTOX. Oct. 24. Followers of Lenine and Trotsky In the steel city of Gary, Ind., now under military control as a result of violence during the steel strike, grew so bold this summer that they attempted organi zation of a "Red Guard," with dis charged soldiers as the armed force, Lieutenant Defald C. "Vanburen, a militory intelligence officer, told the senate labor committee today in" re sumption of its inquiry into the walk out of steel workers. Lieutenant "Vanburen, who is oh the staff of Major-General Leonard Wood, In command of the troops in Gary, laid before the committee scores of pamphlets, circulars and propaganda tracts, along with records of the statements of men arrested after the beginning of the military occupation, to back his assertion that agitators in the steel city "were urging the workers to get ready, to get prepared to take over the industries and the government and run it themselves." Officer' Charge Denied. Oscar E. Anderson, chairman of the steel workers council at Gary, put in a staunch challenge of most of Van buren s conclusions. "There aren't more than 250 or 300 reds' in the 75,000 people at Gary,' Anderson declared. "Thy don't count we don't pay any attention to them. In the labor movement they are re garded as loose upstairs." "You consider this a. strike for eight hours and a living wage?" Chairman Kenyon began. "Don't you think you would get further before the public If you got rid of these reds, purged your organizations completely o them and went ahead without them?' "Ys, Mr. Anderson," Senator Mc Kellar of Tennessee interjected. "Why don't you pitch them out? This com mittee has eat here and listened to anarchists who have been taken into council on your strike matters and heard hem boast of it. We have fol lowed Mr. Foster's history, past and present, and men like that, clear up spoke and summoned nodded. 'We looked up several men on this list," Van Buren said, "and recom mended that they be deported. The immigration authorities refused to act, however, though one of them ad mitted he was a socialist, an I. W. W. and a bolshevik. It seems you have to get them with a bomb in their hands before the immigration officials will act." Last summer. Van Buren asserted. there was a movement among " the Russians at Gary to organize a "red guard." "They wanted to get all the ex-sol diers In Gary into a group and drill them," he said, "to equip them, and get them ready for a revolution that they believed is coming. The impression you get in Gary Is that a small colony of Americans being submerged in the horde of Hungarians and Russians. Agitators are constantly working among them. telling them to prepare, to get ready to manage and operate industries, because they will take them over soon. When you talk to these leaders they dodge the issue and tell you they hope to bring the revolution with the ballot, though they are without citizenship papers themselves." Other Witness Accused. T think most of this Russian lit erature is provided by Ludwig Mar ten's bureau in New York," Van Buren told the committee. Senators brought out that Marten is the repre sentative of soviet governments of Russia in the United States. I've also been told and since Anderson is here, I will repeat the report," Van Buren said, "that he is directly the chief representative of the I. W. W. in Gary as well as head of the trades union organization." Van Buren said all the men ar rested in Gary by the military au thorities were released except those held for the immigration agents. All of the strikers are not 'reds" by any means," he added. Oscar E. Anderson was called next. He identified himself as president of a steel workers' union and chairman of the general strike council at Gary. Are you a member of the I. W. W?" asked Senator McKellar. T am not," Anderson retorted. 'But your name is on this Hun garian socialist list," interrupted Senator Phipps. Cruise Served In Navy. 'At one time I was a member of the socialist party," Anderson said, "and was secretary of a local in Gary some years ago. But for a year or more I have not had anything to do with the organization. "I came to Gary in 1909 after serv- ng four years in the United States navy and have been working there most or tne time since." "Can you tell us why you went into the union?" asked Senator PMdds. "Because I felt that 12 hours was too long a day." Anderson replied, "and because the earnings on the whole were not enough to enable a man to support his family. Asked his wage rate. Anderson said he had averaged $9 a day for the last 12 months. GOVERNOR DECLINES N TO SUMMON SOLONS National Suffrage Workers Learn of Views on Issue.

"But you can't tell how these men are affected until a strike actually comes along. We don't make relig ious and political distinctions in call ing a strike.'1 The whole issue in the strike, he said, was the eight-hour day. "Our first interest in Gary," he said, "came when Chief of Police For bis came to Chicago from that city last spring with a request for ma chine guns and military intervention He told us the 'reds' there were now planning to parade May 4 and start revolution. Two names were given to us as those of leaders of the an archist club at Gary, Ivanhoff and De George. They were Russians or A us trians. De George was a chemist and we learned later that he was operat ing near the Aetna Explosive works outside of Gary, where guncotton was available from the wastes outside of the mill He added that the two men had left Gary. Describing military intervention in Gary, the witness said: "No one has ever sustained a black eye since.

Many thousand copies of this were in Gary." Lieutenant Van Burns read extracts from a booklet found at Gary. It urged revolution upon all workers in all lands. "All the radicals of the country are centering on the propaganda of Le- nine and Trotzky," the witness con tinued. "I call to your attention the fact that it was printed in Chicago by the Arbeiter Zeitung Publishing company, which is significant." "Is this stuff going through the rnailss" Chairman Kenyon inquired. "Oh, yes," Van Buren said. "Well, it'd better be stopped If our provernnient isn t to Pcome impotent, remarked Chairman Kenyon. The witness produced a series of cocuments printed in Russia with names of societies attached and a con siderable quantity of 1. W. W. litera ture. "ere are some of the productions of the Union of Russia workers," Lieu tej.ant Van Buren continued. "That's a straight anarchist eociety. Here's one of them, entitled, 'The Crimes of Ood, an anti-religious pamphlet dis cussing war." Lawyer for Reds. "I asked Paul Glazer, attorney for tne siriKers, it ne was a bolshevik,' Lieutenant van Buren said, "and he answered 'you bet I am."

"They had this typical "red" literature. too, printed in oerman." Deportations Are Asked. "One thing I'd like the committee to notice," the witness continued. "Here is a list of members of the Hungarian Socialist Federation, and heading it is the name of Oscar 13. Anderson. An derson heads the union organization in Gary. Don t you, Anderson?" He turned to the audience as he RATE CUT Lower Oregon altte Granted to Re lieve Stockgrowers. Appeals of Oregon stock raisers for a lower freight rate on cottonseed cake have been granted.

Governor Olcott, reiterating in detail the statement made by him at the time of a previous visit of a commit tee of suffragists to his office several months ago, today informed Mrs. Abby Scott Baker of Washington, D. C, political chairman of the na tional women'! party; Mrs. A. C. Newlll and Mrs. W. J. Hawkins of Portland, that he had not changed from his original position and would not call a special session of the Ore gon legislature to ratify the national suffrage amendment unless each and every condition imposed by him at that time was met by the legislators. On the occasion of two previous visits of suffragists to his offices. Governor Olcott told them that he would not call an extraordinary ses sion of the lawmakers unless a ma jority of their number voluntarily re quested such action; also that they agreed to waive per diem and mileage and confine their work to consider lag the amendment at issue. Only under one condition, the gov ernor said, would he call a special session of the legislature at state ex pense, that being in case the success of the ratification depended wholly upon Oregon's vote. 39 States in Favor. Mrs. Baker, who acted as spokes man for the suffrage committee, told the governor that she and other mem bers of their party had made a com plete poll of the legislatures of the United States and had found that 39 of their number had already approved the national suffrage amendment or would do so at their first opportunity, "There are millions of women in the United States who are desirous of par ticipating in the 1920 elections," said Mrs. Baker, "but will be disfranchised because one governor is waiting for the other to act. This attitude on the part of our western governors, 'par ticularly of those of the suffrage states, is endangering the national campaign for ratification." Mrs. Baker said, however, that she preferred individual action on the part of the governors and tnat sne did not favor the procedure of Governor Ste phens of California, who asked sevep other executives to join with him in calling special sessions of the legis latures for suffrage purposes. I counselled with Governor Ste phens on a recent visit to California, said Mrs. Baker, "and at that time informed him that I thought his plan of merging legislative activities was questionable.

Fight to Go Over State. When it became apparent that the governor could not be persuaded to meet the request of the women for a special session wltnout tne legis lators first meeting the conditions imposed in his original answer to the suffragists, Mrs. Baker said that the women of Oregon probably would at once begin a propaganda campaign which would extend to all parts o the state. Through this drive the women say they hope to make the legislators see the necessity for special session, and thereby comply with the conditions imposed by the governor. Mrs. Baker and her two companions came here by automobile and passed more than an hour in the governor's chambers. WATER METERS MUST GO Aberdeen. Citizens Win Protest on Installation In Homes.
