LEGION SCORES NATION'S FOES [Continued from First Page.l F. Metz. and the Rev. B. J. Gulgan. 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* "Why Diamonds 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, and by whom. How they are cut and i shaped and reasons for so shaping. Judg ing values through color, size and shape.

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.

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. Convention on Its Feet At the conclusion of the address, a rising vote of Indorsement of his remarks was taken, and three rous ing cheers given. The convention remained on its feet until the Gov ernor left the, hall.

The election of State officers was then taken up and re sulted In George F. Tyler, of Phila delphia, being elected State Com 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 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."

Two Old Guns and Book Among Gifts of Wilson From Foreign Rulers By Associated Press• Washington. Oct. 4.—Gifts received by President Wilson while In Europe 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.
