" .in. turn's, i"-" THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1919. MAYOR ATTACKS V LABOR UNION IN REGALLDIGTUM Says Petitions Prompted by : "Radical I. W. W. and Bol ' : shevik Element in La- . bor Party. , In i statement given out yester day Mayor Smith branded the pro- : moteri of the recall petitions against himself and Commissioners Ringer, Ur and Towl, as "the radical, I. W. W, bolshevik element in the labor party"; "The four men, who have been named in the recall petitions against Commissioners Ringer, Ure and Towl and myself," he said, "repre sent ideas of city government entire ly different from those represented by us. If the people of this city want to turn their government over to that kind of control, then Ringer, Towl, Ure and myself should be re called. That is exactly what it means and the voters have a right to say which class of representatives they want in the city hall. I am willing that the men and women should . make their preference known at the polls," his statement read, v Classifies Petition Signers. , ' The mayor made it clear that he ,' classified those who are behind the recall movement as the "radicals, I. ,W. W. and bolsheviki of the labor party," together with the "liquor element,", and certain unnamed per sons whom he insisted had been af ; fected financially because they have lost control of the police depart ment. "If Omaha wants a closed shop industrially and a wide-open town generally, I think that we should be recalled," he insisted. T. P. Reynolds, labor leader and one of those who are named in the recall petitions and who will submit his name against Police Commis- ; sioner Ringer at the recall election, declared that the mayor does not apeak the truth when he designates the recall advocates as I. W. VV.'s and bolsheviki. "It's a lie," said Mr. Reynolds, "and it is the same old story of an official who has failed. We have heard that kind of talk before and know what it means. Everyone Vho is opposed to Mayor Smith is an I. W. W. or a bolshekik in Smith's mind. Resents Labor Statement. Mr. Reynolds resented the mayor's reference to a closed shop. "Labor does not ask for a closed shop at all," he added. "We are asking only for a square deal and that is something we have never gotten from Mayor Smith. I agree with the mayor when he admitted in his recent letters to the commis sioners that his administration had been a failare and we do not want ; to follow his line of work. Yes, we certainly have different ideas of city government than the mayor , has. Denies Bolsheviki Talk, jr Mr. Reynolds took issue with the mayor on another point by deny ing that there is any bolsheviki representing labor in Omaha, v .The Central Labor unnon is ab solutely against the I. W. W.'s, the bolsheviki and Mayor Smith," said Mr. Reynolds. T do not wish to be quoted in connection with the mayor's atatement," said Commissioner Ure, Commissioner Towl is out of the city and commissioner Ringer is noncommittal. Those who are in charge of the recall petitions state that nearly 4,000 Signatures have been obtained and that the petitions will be filed in about a week. - Other men named in the recall petitions besides Mr. Reynolds are: J. C. DaWman, W. J. Burns and J. W. Holfcy. New Superintendent Of State Industrial GirlV Home at Geneva K 15 1 Mrs. Clara G.
