COMMUNISTS TRYING TO CONTROL LABOR, DECLARES DAUGHERTY (By Associated Pressl WASHINGTON". Dec. 8 The movement launched by the Third or Communist Internationale at Moscow to rain control of the trade and Industrial unions throughout the world, "is meeting with marked success in ro far as it relates to syndicalist unions in the United States," says the first annual report of Attorney General Daugherty. Communist parties In this country. Mr. Daugherty says, have united to more effectively carry on propaganda
and the policy is to endeavor to gain control of tne executive committees or other governing bodies therein. "Many of the leaders of this movement are American citizens," he says, "though they are subject to orders from Moscow as to their action and activities in the United States. The attorney general says there has been a noticeable effort "upon the part of various so-called defense societies to propagate and carry on agitation in behalf of the ultraradicals in the United States." "Inconspicuous individuals in the
ultraradical movement apprehended
Hotel Keeper Says Towel
Is Not "Common" Because Wife Purchases Linen Ones (By Associated Press) HARRISBURG. Pa., Dec. S. A strange interpretation of the state law
prohibiting the use of the "common) towel" in public places has been re-j ceived by state health officials from j a hotel proprietor in a small town. A J formal notice was served on him that! he must discontinue the use of aj
"common towel" in his inn In an indignant protest he replied that he did not "use common towels, but had his wife make a special' trip to Philadelphia to purchase linen ones." State health officials disagree with
I his interpretations of the law, and
have notified him to discontinue the "common towel," even if it is linen.

Foreign propagandists still are flocking to the United States, according to the report, which notes that 427 of them arrived in the last fiscal year. The movements, the nature and the extent of the activities of these individuals have been carefully observed, it is stated, and the government has been kept "intimately informed." "During the past, fiscal year," the report continues, "the activities of foreign propagandists in the United States have been particularly noticeable, and careful attention has been given to this pernicious form of work within this country. It is impossible to accurately estimate the vast amount of money spent in the United States by the foreign agents engaged in exploiting the American people and in creating interest in support for movements and schemes entirely foreign to the interests of the American people." Calling attention that activities of the federal government in dealing ith ultra-radicalism are limited by law to ali'-ns. Mr. Daugherty notes that practically all of the states now have enacted laws defining and punishing criminal syndicalism and anarchy. These laws reach the citizens ;'S w;:I as the alien.

NEW YORK. Dec. 8 Thyras, a shaggy police dog from Poland, is a hero, acclaimed by the 16 passengers of the s'eamship Glanak, which docked in Brooklyn' last night, after buffeting its v.-ay across the Atlantic through storms that more than onre threatened to carry youthful members of the ship's company over the rail and into the sea. Captain A. H. Peterson, who said it was the roughest voyage of his lifetime as a skipper, told of the Thyras exploit in saving Zeata Zaborawski. youngest of a family of five children on their way from Danzig to join relatives in the United States. "Zeata dropped her doll over the rail and it caught on a nail on the side nf the. shin." he said. "A heavy sea
was running, but Zeata. who is seven ( years old, started to climb after the
doll. Just as she was going over me side, up dashes Thyras. who seized her dress and hung on. The girl screamed and the purser ran up and
I dragged them both to safety. After
that Thyras and his two companions, Tolf and Neliie. were masters-at-arms and practically took tare of the children."

McCray, while Bert Boyd of Indianapolis, will get No. 13, a number which he always seeks from the state automobile department without any competition. Thousands of applications for the new pla'es have already been received at the statehouse and the delivery will start on Monday. Blue Background
The new plates, slightly smaller than in the pat, have a dark blue background with white numerals. H. D. McClelland, in charge of the automobile department, estimates that 400.000 plates will be issued for passenger cars and 50.000 for trucks. In obtaining new license plates it will be necessary for autoists to present their certificates of title. This is the only change in the procedure over other years, and new owners, having no certificates must make application for such along with the application for license. The cities from which delivery of plates will he made besides Indianapolis follow: South Bend. Elkhart, Huntington, Fort Wayne, Wabash. Logansport, Laiayrtte, Frankfort, Kokomo, Marion. Muncie.

Negotiations for establishment of a common policy by Great Britain and France in regard to Germany war obligations opened here today with the arrival from Paris of Louis Loucheur. minister of liberated legions and several French financial experts M. Loucheur's visit was made at the solicitation of the British government, which is represented as anv ious to reach an accord before any open discussion of reparations questions is precipitated by Germany. It is also understood that the" British officials desire to explain to the
t rent n minister the purpose of th negotiations recently opened here by Dr. Rathenau and to discuss the Wiesbaden agreement between Germany and France which Great Britain mayuse as a pattern in seeking. to obtain from Germany payments in kind the indemnities due her. The unofficial negotiations preceding today's meeting guarantees upon which Germany might be granted a financial respite following her January and February payments have been under consideration. As a result ot these conversations it is beiieved that control of the German customs will be one of the exactions demanded by thp French government before any 'such respite is granted.
