I. W. W. SECRETARY TRIED
Document Providing for American
Cnit of Workers' Red Interna
tional Read Into Testimony.
OAKLAND, Cal.. Dec. 3. Resolution
pledging the I. W. W. to establish fra
ternal relations with revolutionary
groups throughout the world, said
to have been adopted by the general'
executive board of the organization
at a meeting held in, "Chicago last
August, were read in --evidence in
superior court here yesterday. '
The resolutions, which - designated
the I. W. W. as the "American unit of
the workers' red internationals," were
read into the testimony at the crim
inal syndicalism trial of James
IduHugo, local I. W. W. secretary.
Cane Closes Suddenly.
This testimony had never before
been made public, the prosecution as
serted. 'It followed the .sudden clos-.
ing of the case for the defense., with
out the appearance of many witnesses,
including James Brissenden, former
special agent of the department of
labor, who had been recalled to Wash
ington by the government, according
to W. B. Cleary, McHugo's attorney.-
Cleary had promised erly- in--the
case that national I. W. W.- leaders,
government labor experts and univer
sity professors would testify '( for the"'
defense. Following the introduction
of the resolutions, argument, was be
gun by John V. Calkins- Jr.-, deputy
district attorney.
The resolutions as read were as fol
lows: Whereas, The soviet republic of
Russia in its" call for the-organization
of the third international included the
Industrial Workers of the World aa
one of the bodies eligible to- such in
ternational; and
'Whereas, The Industrial Workers
of the World is the only organiza
tion in the United States whose- pro
gramme is absolutely scientific and
uncompromising and is- the logical
American unit of the third " interna
tional; and
"Whereas. The proletarian revolu
tion "is world-wide and national or
local in its scope.
Committee Is Provided.-'- )
"Therefore, The time has come for
the Industrial Workers of .the World
to assume its proper "place as the
American unit of the workers' red in
ternational and-to establish closer re
lations with the groups of the same
or similar principles iu-every country
such as the communists of Russia,
Hungria, Bavaria, etc., the spartacans
of Germany, the syndicalists of Italy,
France. Great Britain and other coun
tries and the industrial unionists of
Canada and Australia.
"Therefore, be it resolved. That the
Industrial Workers o the World shall
. create a committee ofinrernational
relations which shal at; once;establish
and maintain correspondence and fra
ternal relations with suchv..-&&rasaid
revolutionary groups throughout.the
world and sharll provide rfc-r. the 'rep
resentation of the Industrial Woxkers

sion, has denied since the Watson j
resolution was lntroaucea mat nc ia
a radical, but the committee will have
before It a large number of clippings
of Manley's writings for newspapers i
and magazines which are said to be
worth analysis at least. Manly was
attached to the .commission on in
dustrial relations which made a re
port to congress several years ago
that has since become famous as "The
I. W. W. Bible."
I. W. W. Defense Reads Report.
Some revolutionary passages from
this report were read to a jury at
Sandpoint, Idaho, in October, 1917,
by the lawyers defending two T. W, W.
being tried under Idaho's syndicalism
law. aThe purpose was to show that
the utterances for which the I. W. W.
were being tried were not nearly so
radical as some language in this re
port of the commission on industrial
relations, which was a government
document sent out under official
frank. Manley, who is a brilliant stu
dent, will doubtless welcome the op
portunity to appear before the inves
tigating committee.
Another individual who probably
will get into the investigation after
the inquiry is widened is Fredericks
C. Howe, former immigration com
missioner at Ellis island. Howe, who
resigned "some time ago to become
director "of publicity for the Plumb
railroad plan, was shown in a con
gressional investigation at Ellis is-,
land last week to have been on in
timate terms with Emma Goldman
who addressed him as "My Dear
Friend Howe," in a letter pleading
for his aid in securing the release of
Joseph Goldberg, convicted white
slaver, who was held for deportation.
In vouching for the good character
of Goldberg, whose offense she offi
cially stated was that he was export
ing women to Africa for vice pur
poses. Miss Goldman said in her letter
to Howe that "Goldberg seems to be
a. decent chap." She did not aslrtHo.we
to accept .her recommendation alone
but referred him also to Schmidt and
Kaplan, convicted in connection with
the dynamiting of the Los Angeles
Times.
"Cheap Nationalism" Touched On.
This letter to Howe which was in
tensely neighborly closed with this
paragraph: "I hear about you-a great
deal, -even though you are among the
high muckamucks of Americanized
America. I was rather surprised : to
find your name there, but one in your
position, I suppjse, must participate
in a lot of foolish things. I hope,
however, that your fine spirit and
goodi taste will not be carried away by
cheap nationalism, which is raising
its sinister head in America today.
I hope you and Marie have been well.
Please remember me very kindly to
her. I leave for a two weeks tour
tomorrow, which I will take as far as
St. Louis and back."
The files of the office which Mr.
Howe formerly occupied at Ellis is
land; revealed the most friendly re
lations with many well known radi
cals and it was developed that most of
those who were sent to the island to
be., deported were later released on
somebody's authority.
PEACE PROPOSAL HITS SXAG
Republican Senate Leaders "Plan
Encounters Opposition. -
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. The plan of
republican senate leaders to declare a
state of peace by concurrent resolu
tion of congress struck a snag today
in the house.
Chairman Porter of the foreign af
fairs committee said, his committee
had no intention of reporting out
such a resolution, and it was Indi
cated that house leaders supported
this position.
The position taken by the Bouse
republicans was said to be that re
peal of the war-time legislation, which
extends until peace is estaDiisnea,
would be a more acceptable method
of restoring normal conditions, while
the question of peace was one which
the president and the senate, consti
tuting the treaty-making power.
should determine.
In the senate the resolution races
stubborn democratic opposition and it
was predicted by many senators that
no effort to bring it to a vote would
be made in the immediate future. .
It was explained that while. Chair
man f orter opposed a concurrent, res
olution he would not oppose a joint
resolution which requires the presi
dent's signature. Democrats said the
president never would sign suen a
resolution and that it could not be
passed over his veto.

BY CYRIL BROWN.
(Copyright by the Mew York World. Pub

BERLIN Dec. 3. (Special Cable.)
"Germany will be a soviet republic
in six months to two years," was the
confident prophecy made to the World
and Oregonian correspondent by Dr.
Friedrich August Karl Geyer of Liep
sig, a member of the national as
sembly and the new leader of the
independent socialist party, succeed
ing the late Hugo Hasse. Herr Geyer
said:
"Radicalism is not receding In Ger
many, though it may seem so on the
surface because of fewer strikes. At
heart the masses are steadily grow
ing more radical. The masses have
fought to a state of exhaustion, but
the present lull is only a breathing
spell before renewing the struggle
for complete industrial democracy
and the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Masse Against Monarchy.
"The soviet republic will become
realized much quicker if Germany's
reactionaries make a serious attempt
to restore the monarchy. In this case
the radical masses will rise, not to
defend democracy, but to beat back
monarchy. They will not halt there,
but will go storming on over the de
bris of democracy, and will set up a
dictatorship of the proletariat In the
form ef a soviet republic.
"If the monarchist reactionaries do
not attempt to start anything, the
serious progress of sovietism will be
slower, perhaps, peaceful, but the
present evolution to a soviet republic
is the inevitable consequence of tha
effects of the world war."
. According to Herr Geyer, the Ger.
man soviet republic will differ from
the Russian model in that the Rus
sian bolsheviki began at the top by
seizing power and then trying to or
ganize downward. Germany's radi
cals. Herr Geyer said, are already at
work perfecting the organization of
their soviet republic by beginning the
organization at the base.
Factor Soviets Forming:.
The so-called "Betriebsraete," or
factory Soviets, either already exist
or are being formed. These basic
Soviets are further beinr co-ordinated
into higher Soviets for the various in
dustries. Organization work is thus
being pushed right up to the peak of
proletariat power, so when the soviet
strikes for a dictatorship of the pro
letariat to seize the reins of govern
ment the machinery of the soviet re
public will be In complete working
order and will function smoothly.
A serious, new outbreak of indus
trial unrest is reported from Ham

ministrator Garfield as the govern
ment proposal for dealing with the

Meanwhile operators were in close

CURB ON CRITIC PLANNED
STATE OFFICIALS TO ACT IN
CASE OF LETTER WRITER.

Brother Is Custodian; Full Pardon
Refused; Record Exemplary.

BOISE. Idaho. Dec. 3. (Special.)
O. V. Allen, tormer state treasurer.
who confessed the embezzlement of
sums from tne state treasury total
ing $93,000 during his terms of office
and was sentenced October-22. 1914, to
serve from five to ten years in the
state penitentiary, was released from
the penitentiary on parole today by
the state pardon board. The action
of the board was unanimous. Allen
has repeatedly implored state pardon
boards to grant him an absolute par
don.
The present board refused to give
him unconditional freedom, and today
released him to the custody of his
brother. A. H. Allen of Twin Falls,
under the usual parole requirement
that he make regular reports as to
his conduct and his whereabouts.
Although Allen has been in the
penitentiary since October 22, 1914,
and has actually served but five years
and a little more 'than a month, his
exceptional record under the state,
lows entitle him to credit for having
served seven years and eight months.
The prison authorities reported to the
pardon, board at its meeting this
morning, when Allen's case was up
for consideration, that there was not
a single mark against Allen's record
as a prisoner.
His full maximum sentence of ten
years would have expired January 21.
1827, counting time out for good be
havior. The state recovered the en
tire amount of Allen's peculations,
which with interest totalled nearly
$145,000. The recovery was made
through his bonding company. Im
plicated with 'Allen was his deputy,
Fred M. Coleman, who was sentenced
to serve from two and one-half to
ten years. Coleman was pardoned
February 10, 1917.
Allen for the last year has been
prison manager of the Hurtt ranch at
Nam pa, which was leased by the
state.
TRADE COMMISSION
EIS
Senate Looks Into Radical
Propaganda Charges.
WIDE INQUIRY PLANNED
Interstate Commerce Committee Is
Directed to Slake Thorough In
vestigation; Employes Accused.
WASHINGTON. Dec 3. Full in
vestigation of the federal trade com
mission was ordered unanimously to
day by the senate on a resolution di
recting a general inquiry by the in
terstate commerce committee into the
commission's activities and also into
charges by Senator Watson, republi
can, Indiana, that some of its em
ployes have been engaged in radical
propaganda.
The resolution provides for an in
quiry of wide scope. As originally
proposed by Senator Watson, it cov
ered only alleged radical activities of
commission employes. As amended
by the senate, however, it authorizes
inquiry into a report as to its value
as a federal agency. Protracted hear
ings are expected to deal in detail
with criticism and defense of the
commission and its activities, espe
cially in reference to the commis
sion's invitation of the meat packers.
Adoption of the resolution was
marked by brief but general criticism
of radicalism and propaganda.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana,
declared political views of federal
employes should not be called into
question if the employe properly per
formed his official duties.
Senators Myers of Montana and
King of Utah, democrats, asserted
that the socialist group in the
United States, known as the "left
wing of the socialist party," was di
rectly connected with the communist
movement in Russia and was foster
ing bolshevism in this country.
Deportation as a means of dispos
ing of radicals was attacked by Sen
ator Borah, republican, Idaho, who
said it was the duty of the nation,
once it had admitted an alien, to deal
with him. Senator Williams, demo
crat. Mississippi, made a plea against
too great repression of radical propa
ganda, declaring repressive methods
fostered revolution.
J. A. Anderson, Portland, Charged
With Unfounded Attack on Home
lor Feeble Minded.
SALEM. Or., Dec. 3. (Special.)
What action, if any, will be taken
by members of the state board of
control to handle J. A. Anderson of
Potrland, who through a series of let
ters sent to various persons of promi
nence in Oregon is alleged to have
charged the officials of home for the
feeble minded with condoning im
morality in the institution, will be
determined by Attorney-General
Brown. according to a decision
reached by the board at a meeting
held here today.
Mr. Anderson formerly was em
ployed as gardner at the feeble
minded home, and several months ago
complained to Dr. Smith, superinten
dent, against a number of his co
workers, who he charged with com
mitting immoral acts. A little later
it became apparent to Dr. Smith that
Anderson was attempting to create
trouble and he was discharged from
the employ of the state.
Anderson a few days later hired a
public hall in Salem and gave an ad
dress in which he scored state of
ficials and institution heads, but re
frained from making any direct
charges.
Max Gelaner, district attorney, and
Sheriff Needham of Marion county,
went to the home for the feeble
minded, made a thorough investiga
tion, and decided that the accusations
were false and not worthy of fur
ther consideration. .
Because the charges intimated by
Mr. Anderson are of a serious nature,
and for fear that they may be be
lieved by some persons not conversant
with the report of the district at
torney and sheriff, it was the opinion
of the members of the board of con
trol that some legal action should
be taken to abate what they termed
a nuisance.

"The government waited while the

the impending disaster consequent on
the shortage of fuel, would be evolved.
After the conference closed the gov
ernment directed the operators to re

14 per cent. The government again
waited for some action on the part of
the miner. The officials not only
failed to make efforts to bring about
an end to the strike but in numerous
statements to the Associated Press
and newspapers, encouraged its con
tinuance. During every moment of
this period of waiting all officers of
the union have violated the injunction
and the government has exhausted its
patience,"

No Action Taken on Proposal for
Sale of Government-Owned
Vessels at Cost.
Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday went on record as
favoring eight of the nine questions
on merchant marine submitted to vote
of members by the United States
chamber of commerce. The excep
tion was the second proposition:
"That government-owned vessels be
sold to regional associations for trans
fer at cost to private individuals and
corporations of the several regions.'
Upon this question no action was
taken.
The approval of every clause of the
ballot submitted places the Portland
chamber on record as to its attitude,
already well known, and which was
indicated in the original action of
Pacific coast bodies that brought the
matter to attention of the United
btates body and resuled In the refer
endum vote being taken.
It is the opinion of shipping men
and others who have studied the sub
ject that the government should sell
its ships at prices equal to the pres
ent cost of producing vessels of equal
tonnage. This, it is felt, would work
no hardship on shipbuilding interests
nor would it require the absorption
of excessive sums due to the higher
war production cost of the ships.
It will be some time before the ref
erendum vote will be complete, but
there is a feeling that the propositions
will be quite .generally affirmed on
the ballots. Business men all over
the country are concerned in an eariy
decision of a definite course of ac
tion by the shipping board, in order
that shipbuilding and etablishment of
new lines of off-shore shipping may
be placed on a firm basis without
hesitancy due to doubt as to the final
disposal of a large tonnage of government-owned
ships.
A committee on bulb culture was

Mrs. E. H. Boots, a well-known
resident of Buchanan County, Is,
who darkened her gray hair, made the
following statement:
"Any lady or gentleman can darken
their gray or faded hair, and make it
soft and glossy with this simple
remedy, which they can mix at home.
To half a pint of water add 1 ounce of
bay rum, one small box of Barbo
Compound and -ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be purchased
at any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair every other day
until the gray hair Is darkened suffi

is not greasy and does not rub off.
It will make a gray-haired person
look 10 to 20 years younger." Adv.
