CLAYCOMBE AND LEAGUE AGREE; DOES NOT QUIT Ex-Service Men Leave Him Free to Oppose Garvin for Judge. HOLDS PARTY FIRST After he haa t>een grven both verbal and written assurance that he would not be expected to support Thomas E. Garvin, Democratic nominee fo* city judge. Lloyd D. Claycombe, Republican nominee for councilman of the Third district, withdrew his resignation from the Ex-Service Voters' League at a meeting in the league headquarters in the Kauh. building last night. The action grew out ot a controversy which started several months ago, coining to a head last Wednesday, when some of the Democrats In the organization charged Claycombe with an at- ■ tempt to engineer a move which would j throw the league into the hands of the , forces of Samuel Lewis Shank. Repub- | lican nominee for mayor. Claycombe then issued ft statement in which he declared the Democrats had tried to get him to openly Indorse Garvin, who also Is backed by the league, thereby repudiating J. Herbert Hartman, Republican nominee for city Judge. It was said the Democrats at a luncheon at the Y. M. C. A. last Wednesday tried to force Claycombe to resign, but he raised the point of order tbar this was a question for the entire membership to decide. President Young sustained him and the matter was postponed until last evening. Claycombe last night offered Ms resignation with a statement that be could see nothing else but that* the Democrats bed gained control of the league, when for want of a two-thirds majority, an amendment to the constitution, designed by the executive committee to dear th< s tnation, was voted down and a resolution, offered ty Col. G. W. Elaine, a Democrat, which Claycombe considered es absolutely binding him to support Garvin, was adopted. This preciptated a discussion which resulted in several members stating that Claycombe misunderstood the league's position; that it never had asked him to support Garvin and did not Intend to. Practically all of the thirty members present indorsed this attitnd". Byron C. Young, president, read a statement signed by him, which he said had been indorsed by the executive committee, setting out the principles upon which Claycombe 'finally withdrew his resignation". After much discussion It finally was agreed that the statement should be made public for the purpose of setting out what President Young said was a true account of the entire “pisode. This statement includjd the following passages: “It is the policy of the league to support properly qualified and indorsed exservice men for appointive and elective public offices regardless of their politics, whether members of this organization or not. and our support shall not imply or in any way demand of them any obligation to repudiate the whole or any part of the ticket upon which they may be ning. The league never has made .y demand upon any one that in the hast conflicts with these principles." (Excepting the last sentence this also was the amendment to the constitution which was voted down.) NOT EXPECTEJ) TO BACK WHOLE TICKET. “So far as oar organization is concerned. this affair U closed. Mr. claycombe is still one of our candidates and we will back him in all worthy efforts on behalf of the citizens of this city and particularly ex service men, and we do this without in any manner embarrassing him by attempting to force him to work acainst any part of bis ticket. We want the men we support to be influential in their respective parties as we believe that thereby the interests of the .general public and those entitled to belong to our organization will be best served.” t When Claycombe had withdrawn his resignation Garvin said he thought it was due him that Claycombe make a statement to the effect that he was not opposed to him (Garvin) upon any other than partisan grounds. Claycombe said that this is true and that he has the highest personal regard for Garvin. Colonel Blaine's resolution was to the effect that ail members of the league had pledged themselves to support the candidates indorsed by the league and that membership in the league “involved faithful adherence to this principle.” This, Claycombe said, bound him to support Garvin, something which he could not do. “I am not going to be underhanded in this, matter. You surely see my > position.” he said. "I can not support Mr. Garvin and I say so plainly.” In offering his resignation Claycombe said rejection of the amendment to the constitution and adoption of the Blaine resolution required him to support Gar-

Women Given No Economic Status in Making Homes

Bp eetal to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY CONSTANCY. DREXEL. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.—Economic Independence of women should apply to the wife, mother and housekeeper. As she stands now, even the census classes her as a woman without occupation and In too many cases, her husband considers he is doing her a favor by keeping a roof over her head and allowing her to partake of meals she has prepared for the family. Yet her work as n home builder and weaver of family life should be worth more, noth to him and to society than any amount she can go outside to earn. But the standing in the eyes of the Government, is one reason why so many women seek employment outside of the home. Whether this new view of economic independence of women In the family will be expressed at the national unemployment conference now in session is doubtful. But In the opinion of Mary Anderson, director of the women in the Industries Bureau of United States Department of Labor, It is the erroneous conception of the marital status that Is driving countless women into earning money in office and factory. WOMEN INVITED TO UNEMPLOYMENT SESSION. Miss Anderson is not a member of the unemployment conference, but was an Interested observer. Near her sat Elizabeth Christman, an industrious young woman of jolly mein. She is a member, and over yonder at other tables in the conference room of the Department of Commerce sat Ida M. Tarbell, scholarly and intellectual; Mary Van Kleeck and Mrs. Sarah Conby. They are the foul women invited to help solve the unemployment problem of the Nation. But at Mr. Hoover s command they all had to rush away to the various committees to .which they had been assigned. \ Only Mary Anderson was left. ‘Why no so many women go out to work?" she' was asked. “Many are obliged to because of children and others for support, as our Government's survey shows, but —,” and the rest of her reply is embodied In the first of this article. Mrs. Harding showed her interest In the unemployment conference by accompanying the President when he made the

I am convinced that bv my action I will be better able to serve him than by remaining in the league and losing my party standing. X am further convinced that it will be only a short time before the league will recognize the wisdom of my course and will change its policy iij this matter. “I have never had any intention of trying to make a Republican organization out of the league, but by its own action it has constituted itself an adjunct to the Democratic party and regardless of what the members ca l If, the general public will feel it is Democratic in its sympathies.” In the discussion upon the amendment to the constitution Otto Ray, Democratic candidate for the council, declared that as a candidate he was for the ex service man above all party considerations. He said he thought it would be agreed the present Republican city administration, although it made bright promises, never has seen to it that ex-service men have the preference in appointments, particularly to the police and fire departments. He said he did not care what the policy of Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic nominee, would be In the event he were elected mayor, he (Ray) intended to stand by the ex-service man.

Manufacturer Who Wanted U. S. to Trade With Soviets Disillusioned by Dealings

Special to Indiana Daily Times' and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By ROBERT BARRY. WASHINGTON', Sept. 2S.—“Printing Press" Jennings ha# changed his mind about Soviet Russia. The Pennsylvania manufacturer who favored trade with Lenin-Trotski and company, and believed their self styled Ambassador Ludwig C. K. Martens should have been received as a distinguished statesman and friend instead of being deported, now is convinced American business men should not look to Russia for markets as the communist leaders “have to be treated as crooks because my own experience and the experience of many other business men proves they are plain crooks, nothing more and nothing loss.” Mr. Jennings—Emerson P. Jenning9 of Bethlehem, Fa., president of the American Commercial Association to promote trade with Russia—suffered his radical change of heart after six months In Russia. No more sympathetic than he ever knocked at Moscow's gates, nor cone more hitter in disillusionment, as. writing from Reval, he first calls the Soviet leaders crooks, then adds: “They ar the most dishonorable, discourteous, unappreciative and tile most contemptible ahd unsatisfactory people to dead-with in a business way that the business world has ever had anything to do with.” And furthermore: THEY’RE BI'NCH OF FAKERS, CROOKS. “We fought for tnern and had confidence in them, hut experience, thus far. has proved the charges that Martens and his crowd are a bunch of pikers, fakers and crooks, and unless the Soviet government undertakes to carry out tile contracts and agree*. mrnts they iuive made with ns we can see no possible excuse for their bein' trusted by American manufacturers or business men with one cent m i resilt.” Those are the words of the American

opening address. She displayed keenest interest in the proceedings. Quite a number of people have wondered why Mrs. Raymond Robbins of Chicago, was not included as a member of the conference. It seems 6ho was In vlted bn. was prevented from attending because she sailed only a few days ago for Europe. However, she will be discussing unemployment problems nevertheless. She is on her way to Switzerland to attend the second international labor conference for women. One of the busiest women at the headquarters of the League of Women Voters here Is Mrs. Ann Webster, chairman of that organization's social hygiene. She lias prepared a tabloid program so simple that average woman may know how to go ahead to improve social conditions in the community.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

! trade promoter who went to Russia to | sell what Is so necessary to the Soviet i financial program printing presses. They ! are the words of the man who a fewshort months ago was being expelled I from the Senate office building for his impulsive opposition to the manner in which Senator Moses of New Hampshire, ‘was conducting the inquiry of the committee on foreign relations into Martens' activities in the United Spates, In a highly colorful report of S,O<VJ words addressed to “The members of ! the American Commercial Association to promote trade with Russia and other i interested American manufacturers,” the , report having been obtained in official i circles--Mr. Jennings discloses that he; ! discovered In six months on the ground in Russia what Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of Commerce Hoover #w from Washington In their recent refusal to sanction trade relations with Russia. CONFIRMS OPINION OF SECRETARY HUGHES. - The Jenujngs report constitutes the most sweeping confirmation of the findings of the Senate Committee, headed ty Senator Moses of New Hampshire, and Justification of the refusal to trade with Russia. Mr. Jennings goes much far- i tiier and not only counts as lost his mil- j lion dollar contract with Martens for j printing presses, but also hundreds of thousands of dollars dissipated in their pursuit of the jack o'-lntern of Russian trade. Mr. Jennings acknowledges in his report what he denounced the Senate Committee for asserting—that Martens' prl- i marv function in the 1 nited State# was to bow the seeds of Bolshevism through ! various processes of propaganda, but the Pennsylvanian make* the startling nd- , mission that instead of having gold from Russia. Martens operated almost exclusively on funds contributed by American manufacturers and business men. Mr. Jennings stated flatly he himself subscribed aubstaltial funds on the theory that an educational campaign was necessary to checkmate the schemes of the British secret service, which was trying to prevent American trade with Russia. In an elaborate discussion of economic and industrial conditions in Russia, the Jennings report states there is nothing In Russia to serve as a basis for Amer- j Scan trade. His only solution of the sick bear would be a virtual operation and control of essential Russian industries by an American commission. lie believes the autocracy of manual laborers precludes any nnd all possibility for development under existing conditions. Mr. Jennings finds Russia a nation where “The majority of men with strong hacks and weak minds ore in sarh control and so Impractical that they have made an awful mess of It.” Lenin and Trotski, he states "Are not the government of Russia, but they are Influential factors, but they were right in everything that they advocate and try to do they still would find insurmountable obstacles because tfte manual workers’ or-x ganlrations have their way.”—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
