F. of L. Not “Radical.” By AMorinted Pro**. Washington, April 14.—Because the Workers Education bureau, an or ganization of the American Federa- j tton of Labor, is not "definitely com- 1 mltted to a radical program,’’ the American Fund for Public Service, , Inc., has refused to include the bureau among beneficiaries in its outlay of the $800,000 fund turned over to it by Charles Oarland of Boston, out of the rejected inheritance from his father. Samuel Oompers, president of the labor federation, in making puhllc • a letter from the Oarland fund or- . ganizatiop refusing a request for a $100,000 endowment fund for the edu cation bureau, charged Thursday night that the Oarland money was being used to "bring together an in terlocking network of pacifist and revolutionary organizations of more or less extreme character.” “The American Fund for Public service,” Mr. Oompers declared, "dis closed Itself in Ms, true garb as a proponment of, revolutionary effort.” Attempt to Control Miners. A statement made puttie by tho United Mine Workers of America de clared that those who are in ontrol of the Oarland fitn<$ are "making a desperate hut vain attempt to control and dictate the policies of the coal miners’ union.” "This is the same aggregation,” the statement said, "that formulated and prepared the so-called plan for nationalization of coal mines which was made public at a recent meet ing of radicals in New York. Tt will be remembered that that plan for nationalization was given to the public at that time with a false im pression that it was the plan of the United Mine Workers of America. The plan was repudiated by the union when it Was made public." Slap Back at Gompers. New York, April 12—Officials of the American Fund for Public Service, tonight Issued a statement asserting that tho attack made upon it by Pam- ! uel Oompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, was "clear- , ly the result of his disappointment at not receiving money for an enterprise in which he la interested. The reply, issued by Norman M. Thomas and Roger N. Baldwin, pro* Ident and secretary of the fund, re ferred to the allegations of Mr. Gom pers that the fund, administering the *800.(100 inheritance turned over to it by Charles Garland of Boston, was helng Utilize,! by ‘‘reds’’. "The personnel and activities of this fund were given wide publicity In the public press about eight months sgo. said the reply. "If Mr. Gompers ; thought we were a revolutionary or ganization. with which it was Im proper for the labor movement to deal, lie should have then warned his adherents. It comes with poor grace 1 from him now to object to the char acter of the fund's trustees, after one of ills enterprises has faded to re ceive the *100.600 it asked fur. ( barge Inaccuracy. "As a matter of fact Mr. Gompers is quite inaccurate in many ot" his characterizations.

Harding Plan for World Court Is Favored by Women Voters World Peace and International Relations Prove Ab sorbing Topic at National Meeting—Effort Made to Keep Partisan Issues From Resolutions— Endorsement of League Will Be Defeated. IW MYRTLE MASON. Special IliftputHi to The Ornalui He#. Des Moines. la., April 14.—“The time has come," the walr/ts said, “to talk of many things.” The walrus was right, the time has come on this, the eve before adjourn ment of the fourth annual cpnven tlon of the National League of Wo men Voters, to summarize the work of the 500 delegates representing a hodv of more than a million women. Will the convention go on record for the league of nations, has been a query frequently heard. The an swer Is no. The answer bears no relation to sentiment for or against the league, but Is based upon a de termination by this nonpolltlcal body to stick to principles and not to deal in party issues, and the Wilson league is considered by them to be a party issue. Favor Harding Court. During the afternoon period for resolutions, every effort to inject league of nations doctrine was killed. A resolution finally passed in which the delegates pleaded active support to the proposal of the president and the secretary of state for participa tion by the United States in the permanent court of international jus tice, believing this to be the first step toward ttie outlawry of war and toward that fuller and more far-reach ing internal co-operation which Is necessary to prevent war. This convention represents a cross section of the country. It may be In teresting to politicians to know that outlawry of war has commanded mors interest from this convention than all other subjects combined. It appears to be the unanimous sense of this body that international peace and co-operation transcend in import ance all other matters. The speeches by Lord Robert Cecil, Herbert Hoo ver and Judge Florence Allen have been under constant discussion. If one may take the conduct of the Na^ ttonal League of Women Voters to mean anything at all. It Is that the people of this country are thinking more profoundly on world peace and world relations than ever before and that well-conceived and definite action will be demanded. Only Minimum Step. Harding’s world court plan as pre sented here by Hoover Wednesday night seems to have met with entire approval, the only objection heard to it has been that it is "the minimum step," If this plan or sbme plan looking inward world peace has not been put Into operation by 1924, our interna tional relations will most certainly, in the writer’s! opinion, be the cam-, paign issue again, though in a differ ent form than in 1920. Another conclusion which may be , Ir.iwn relates to the I-eague of : Women Voters plan of work for the 'omlng year. They will continue as in the past. Including education, ac tive work for specific legislation and participation in all welfare branches relating to women and children. The alternative proposed was to omit wel fare work and concentrate on legisla tion, both state and federal. Pledges to Rudget.
