WASHIXTON. Oct. 2G.—As a re
sult ot the visit of the recent com
mission to Russia, the great indus
trial unrest in the West, and the
urgent representations r. • to the
Federal Government r. preventa
tive international uni-. ■, President
Woodrow Wilson lias directed the
a-ewlyjfc t d Fuhtral Industrie
Cctninissie' to m ike a searching
probe of the Sr.n Francisco frame
ups.
Following the now famous de
monstration of April 23rd last, the
citizens of the newly formed Rus
sian republic have vigorously and
constantly protested to the Amer
ican government against the San
Francisco frame-ups, and during
the visit of the recent commi - ion
to Petrograd the American embassy
was constantly picketed by Russian
workmen carrying large pictures of
Frank C. Oxman and an inscrip
tion asking if Oxman was typical
of the Americans they were sup
posed to fight shoulder to shoulder
with in the trenches.. Representa
tives of the new Russian republic
expressed their desire that the San
Francisco situation should be clear
ed up. The Russian situation be
came so important that Secretary
of War New ten Baker took an ac
tive part in securing this investiga
tion. Every representative labor
man in Washington, including
those in the President’s own official
family, worked hard toward the
same end, in fact the feeling was
unanimous in the national capital
that, it was vital in an international
sense that the frame-ups in San
Francisco should be exhaustively
invesitgated and the truth be made
known to tlic whole world.
Everyone welcomes die investi
gation except the Frame-Up G. ng.
They are dumb stricken. District
Atcrney Fiokert, who actively en
gine rod the plot, hopes .that the
Commission will coniine itself tc
the "official .record.” That means
that he hopes the Commission wil’
not investigate liis suppression of
testimony, his destruction of testi
mony, his mutilation of evidcnc
at the scene of the explosion, the
, third-degrefiing of the prisoners,
' his offering of inducements to wit
; nesses in the shape of pardons of
; convict i el a ti vos and placing them
in positions, his coaching Ed Rigall
in a story of deliberate perjury, his
I assaults on uctivc defense workers,
; and alt the other crooked tricks
his department used in trying to
1 railroad, five inoncent working peo
pie to the gallows.
The pro-Chamber of Commerce
and th-ir paid press voices the
same pious hope, they say that it
the investigation goes off into the
situation of individuals under judi
j rial inquiry or sentence, no good
can come of it and much harm is
1 possible. If the President thinks
lie can accomplish any good by
! coddling nihilists in Russia and
playing up to the anarchists of the
1 United States, ho is due for a rude
1 awakening.

' strong influence is behind the re
solution which was given to Ilia
Senate Committee in the Mexican
:! cortes today. This resolution calls
.upon the government of Mexico to
adopt an attitude of benevolent

The German element in Mexico
eirong, powerful, numerous and

posal is countering the interests at

owing to the attitude of most ot
the Latin American republics it is
