both of Pittsburgh.
The Legion went on record fav
oring the Johnson Bill, now before
the Senate and "that there be no
letup or relaxation In the punish
ment of alien enemies, and that no
attempt be made to condone their
crftaes or change their status, and
tha a copy of these resolution be
sent to every representative from
Pennsylvania."
Valera Is Scored
Another popular resolution was
that concerning Eamon de Valera,
the self-styled President of the Irish
Republic. The motion stated that
de Valera Is an American, born In
Rochester, N. Y., that he Is a draft
dodger, that during the period of
hostilities be treated with the enemy
and attempted to form a submarines
base upon the Irish coast and that
now he is attempting to secure the
protection <jf this country as an
American clttxen. The resolution,
which was unanimously adopted,
stated that he should not be ac
cepted or recognised by any city of
this country.
Other resolutions adopted were of
thanks to the mayor and civic bodies '
of Harrisburg for their reception of •
the cantonment; observance of Arm- |
istice Day in Pennsylvania; appeals j
to the National Legislative body for j
reforms In War Rtsk Insurance; lo
calizing payments; appreciation of
Boy Scouts; assistance and com
mendation of the sale of Red Cross
Christmas Stamps In aid of the Tub
erculosis fight; adoption of (1 as
regular dues to National Organlzn- 1
tton, this to Include subscription
price to Legion Weekly, and ballot
stuffing to be more carefully watched
and guarded against
Sprnn German Emblesn
The Yeomanette Post Introduced
and passed two resolutions, one con
cerning the removal or modtflcalon
of civil service examinations in re
gard to the yeomanettes, the second
concerning the discontinuance of
wearing the corn flower, the Ger
man National flower and as such was |
worn to recognize enemy aliens dur- '
ing the war period.
A very popular resolution which
was passed with much applause was
that one which nrged that there be
no discrimination In the action
taken against alien and native-born
slackers, and that if anything the
punishment of the native-born -
slacker be more severe.
The exploitation of the uniform j
by men who wore it while peddling
or soliciting, was strongly con- !
demned as a fit subject for the dls- ;
gust of any service man of the Unit- |
ed States. Action will in all proba- ;
bllity be taken on this.
Would Punish Bergdolls
The so-called "Bergdoll resolu- |
tion" met with the greatest recep- j
tlon and was passed with no dls- >
sentlng vote. This resolution urges j
that the Department of Justice re- ;
double Its efforts to apprehend both j
Grover and Erwin Bergdoll. of Phil- i
adelphla, who are draft dodgers still i
at large and unpunished, and who j
have flaunted that fact In several ■
public appearances. The resolution
likewise decries the evident hesita
tion of the government to punish
Mrs. Bergdoll. who greatly aided In
the escape and protection of her
sons.
The subject of lynching and race
riots was taken up and unanimously
disapproved by the delegates. It
was urged that the government take
more active steps In the, repression
of any such disturbances In the fu
ture.
large Posts Favored
Large posts were favored by the
Legion, and It was unanimously de
cided that the Pennsylvania dele
gates to the National Cantonment
in November should put forward
Pittsburgh as the place of meeting
for the National Cantonment next
year.
Erie submitted the following reso
lution which was passed unani
mously after "thorough discussion;
Will Keep Out of Politics
"That there be no endorsement of
a candidate for pyblic office or the
discussion of partisan or factional
politics at any meeting of a post,
or at any meeting under the au
spices of the American Legion."
Compulsory and universal train
ing was adopted after a hot debate. I
dur'ng which both sides of the ques
tion were thoroughly thrashed out.
It was recommended that the Na
tional Cantonment take up this
question and present to the national
legislative bodies appropriate ex
pressions of the American Legion
on this subject. The Swiss system
of military training was favored.
Purpose of Resolutions
Resolutions adopted towards the
close of the cantonment provided that
a committee of five be appointed to ;
draw up reports on various plans!
for social and community service be
ing taken up In the country now, and
that the Legion assist In every way
to carry on this work; pledging sup
port to education and urging that the
study of civics and community prob
lems be added to the curriculum of
the public schools of the State; that*

Are High
It is the answer to the oft repeated question:
found in the wonderfully attractive little
booklet which we have just had published
and is now ready for distribution.
It tells how and where Diamonds are mined,

shaped and reasons for so shaping. Judg
ing values through color, size and shape.
These are but a few of the interesting facts
disclosed in this unique little booklet which
we wish to put into the hands of those in
terested in Diamonds.

The bills which were rejected by
the committee were gone over, most
of them having been covered by bills
which were passed. The question of
further bonus for soldiers was taken
up and gone over, and It was unani
mously decided to reject any further
consideration of this subject as It
would be placing a premium on the
patriotism and services of Pennsyl
vania soldiers In the war. The reso
lution as presented would have called
for payment In bonuses of several
billion dollars, or more money than
has been paid since the Civil War tsi
pensions.

vania, and emphasised the possi
bilities of this city as a convention :
city. Chairman Murdock then In
i troduced Governor Sproul.
Governor Gets Ovation
As the Governor stepped to the
[ front of the platform he was given
an ovation which lasted for five
| minutes, the delegates, standing on
j chairs, clapping and cheering, un
: til Major Murdock finally pounded
| for order. Governor Sproul smlllng
jly thanked the convention for Its
' reception, and after a few brief
] words of appreciation announced
! that It was hts belief that this first
| convention was a memorable occas
ion. He would therefore depart
: from his usual custom and deliver a
i prepared speech. The Governor then
' read his well-conceived address. In
terrupting it from time to time to
| add an Impromptu remark.
Throughout the address, the crowd
frequently Interrupted and cheered
for minutes at a time, and when
the Governor spoke of the feeling
Pennsylvania entertained for those
who were not Americans and who
ahowed no desire to become Ameri
cans, the hall went wild. it was
with difficulty the delegates were
brought to order.

remarks was taken, and three rous
ing cheers given. The convention

mander. Mr. Tyler has been un
tiring in his work with the tempor
ary organization of the State Legion,
and he was elected practically with
out opposition. Major Robert L.

Foster's Doctrines of Syndicalism
Among tbe maxims set forth by William Z. Foster In his red book
aro these:
"Tko wages system must be abolished."
"The thieves at present in control of the Industries must be
stripped of their booty, and society so reorganised that every Indi
vidual shall have free access to the social meane of production. This
social organization will be a revolution."
"Only after such a revolution will the great Inequalities of mod
ern society disappear."
"The syndlcalist'sees In the state only an Instrument of oppres
sionl."
"The workers In each Industry shall manage the affairs of their
particular Industry; the miners shall manago the mines; the railroad
ers manage the railroads, and so on through all the lines of human
activity."
"Capitalism Is organized robbery."
"Capitalists have no more right to the wealth they have amassed
than a burglar has to his tool."
"The Boculled legal and Inalenlable rights of man are but pre
tenses with which to deceive workingmen."
"In modern society, as In all ages, might is right."
"The end Justifies the means."

were of "very insignificant value. Sec
retary Tumulty said to-day In an
nouncing that he had prepared and
would submit to-day an answer to the
resolution of Representative Roden
berg. Republican, Illinois, asking as
to reports that the gifts were valued
at a million dollars.
Mr. Tumulty said the President re
ceived no gifts which would have re
quired an act of congress for him to
accept and that in every case where
It was made known that he was to
receive a present he consulted Secre
tnrv Lansing and the Attorney Qen-
to whether he could legally
accept.
, . . most valuable present, Mr. Tu-
I multy said was a gold casket which
contained a certificate of cithenshlp
! from the city of London. The king of
I Italy presented the President with two
' old guns, and the king of England
I gave him a book.
FOSTER TELLS OF
CHANGED VIEWPOINT
[Continued from First Page.]
were satisfactory. Two of the wit
nesses, T. J. Davles.of New Castle,
Pa., and Joseph Smith, of Home
stead, Pa., attacked the methods by
union organizers in the mills, Davles
declaring that their nctivltloa "hail
all the elements of a conspiracy."
Expect Soviet Operation
Activities of union organizers In
steel districts before the present
strike was called had "all the ele
ments of a conspiracy," T. J. Davles,
tin worker told the Senate Investi
gating the strike to-day. Foreign
workmen in some cases he said, ex
pect it to result In Soviet operation
of the mills.
"These men moved mysteriously
around the plant," declared Davles,
who said ho represented the senti
ment of five thousand tin workers.
"We kept hearing that they Intended
to cripple the plants, paralyze oper
ations.
"These foreigners, when we asked
them, explained they were going to
get the 'closed shop.'
Workmen Intimidated
" 'President Wilson, President
Gompers,' they all say, 'are with us.
You Americans can't work here af
terward. Nothing but union men.
"Some of them explained to mo
'we won't need bosses after this,
committees will run mills.' "
Davles said some workers were
Intimidated because they are told
their houses will be blown up and
their wives killed.
Armed with books which Foster
ijas written during his career In la
bor circles which advocated revolu
tionary socialism and sabotage, and
with copies of the I. W. W. organ
"Solidarity," containing articles con
tributed by him from Europe where
he went In 1911 as a representative
of that organization, Foster was
pressed Into a lengthy explanation
of the doctrines and views he advo
cated In 1914 and earlier years.
"Dying Newspapers"
Foster first attempted to parry the
questions at the outset, refusing to
answer unil newspaper reporters
were excluded from the room, on
the ground that "lying, prejudiced,
newspapers have misconstrued and
misrepresented my personal opin
ions with the whole Idea of Injuring
the cause of 100,000 steel workers."
He was finally crowded Into a declar
ation, when Senator McKellar,
Democrat, of Tennessee, reading
many quotations from his works,
demanded that he say whether or
not-"he still adhered to this belief.
"Those are not my views, now,"
he said, In a subdued tone, after
listening to his own words repeated,
declaring "the state to be a med
dling, capitalistic Institution" and
advocating violence In strikes, and
calm acceptance of bloodshed as
necessary to forwarding of the rev
olutionary cause.
Gompers Breaks Tn
President Gompers, of the Ameri
can Federation of lAbor, broke Into
the examination In Irritated fashion
at one point, when Foster was
standing- on his objections to news
per reports of hts testimony.
"Well, they can't say anything
worse about yon than they have."
the aged head of the Labor Federa
tion adjured him.
Foster would not, however, com
pletely adjure his old works and
faced with one line to the effect
"that the syndicalist worker will not
be hgid back from direct action by
the capitalistic code of ethics, duty,
honor, patriotism," he told the com
mittee:
"Put quotation marks around
some of those, and I'll stand by
them yet. They'll show how the
words are used."
Has Own Ideas
Other excerpts from later writ
ings, stating that "government as
we know it will shrivel up and die,"
and "Industries now in the hands
of the state, municipalities and the
nation, will be given completely over
to the workers in them," he was
quite well prepared to defend.
"I have my own ideas about gov
ernment," he said of the first, and
of the second:
"That's not so startling nowa
days."
Not Syndicalism
"Well, that's syndicalism, pure
and Bimple, isn't it?" Senator Sterl
ing, Republican, of South Dakota,
one of his most persistent interro
gators, demanded.
"I think not." Foster said. The
witness endorsed his own advocacy
of race suicide with the statement
that "It is foolishness for workmen
to undertake to raise big families."
President Gompers with apparent
amusement listened 'to Senators
read Foster's essays on the Amer
ican Federation of Labor—written
before he Joined it as an organizer
—wherein he asserted that "the
American Labor movement is In
fested with hordes of dishonest of
ficials and labor fakirs. These men
must go." He explained that to-day
he considered the blanket charge
not tenable.
One letter, written to "Solldariy,"
wherein Foster explained that It was
the true duty of a revolutionary to
work thbough existing trades unions
and quit trytng to build up new or
ganizations, Interested the commit
tee considerably. Foster admitted
authorship, but would not say it
described his present course.
Spelled Fight
"All these things, these doctrines,
spelled violence, didn't they?" Sen
ator McKellar asked him.
"They spelled light," Foster re
turned.
His remarks on the present strike
wore comparatively brief.
"It came bfceause the workers
were denied opportunity to present
their grievances," he said. "It could
not be delayed at President Wilson's
request, because of the steel cor
poration's policy in instituting
wholesale discharges."
Foreigners made up the largest
membership in the unions at pres
ent, he explained, "because higher
paid Americans, knowing of the fate
of past attempts to organize the
steel industry, stand back to wait
and see."
"Of course, we'd like to take the
OCTOBER 4, \pl9.
j Americans first," he said. "They
] oocupy the strategic positions, being
I more skilled."
Docs Not Want Violence
"Are you n syndicalist now?" Sen- |
| ator McKellnr asked.
"No," Foster said. He added he
| intended to conduct the strike with
: out violence, so fgr as his power
' went.
"Are you seeking now: havo you
! ever sought, to circulate those doo
| trlnes In that pamphlet among steel
; workers?" naked Senator Borah,
j "Not at all," Foster answered. "1
npply tlio principles of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor with the
; censorship of twenty-four alert
presidents over me.
Belonged to I. W. W,
Foster paid ho belonged to the L.
W. W. in 1911 and represented the
organization at the International
conventions in Europe.
"I haven't been a member for five
years," he added.
"What was your attitude during
the war?" asked Senator Walsh,
Democrat. Massachusetts.
"I thought the war ought to be
won at all costs," ho said, adding
that he had made dozens of speeches
In bond campaigns.
Questioned as to steel Industrial
conditions, I'"oster said he knew that
In Pittsburgh, Braddock and Homo
stead, steel workers "live In hovels."
"Laborers In the building trades
get eighty cents an hour," he said,
' while in the steel mills, the same
class get forty cents an hour,"
Gompors Fills Breach
President Gompors came back be
fore the committee when Foster
concluded "to straighten out a few
matters," he said, and nttackod
briefly some of the points Judge
Gary, chairman of the steel corpora
tion, emphasized In his testimony
fcefoie the committee.
"The steel corporation in 1301
passed a resolution declaring Itself
unalterably opposed to union labor,"
Mr. Gompers said, "notifying nil of
Its subsidiary offices that it stood
against any extension."
He defined an "open shop" as "a
place where the principle of collec
tive bargaining cannot exiot."
Steel corporation hospitals—"l
have been Informed by newspaper
men" ns he put it—are places whore
n orkmtn are "confined lncommut
cado after accidents."
