FEDERAL INQUIRY
into INDUSTRIES

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE an
nouncement by Secretary OF Com
merce William c. Redfield that his
department would investigate all in.
dustries In which wages were cut fol-
lowing the passage OF the Underwood
tarirf bill has caused a big stir among
manufacturers throughout the coun-
try, Judging from protests received
here. The pottery industry Will be
the first to be investigated by Sec
rotary Redfield because of the threat
ened reduction in wages due to the
promised new tariff rates. Speaking
before the National Association OF
Employing Lithographers, Mr.. Red
field stated plainly that the investl-
cation will be extended to all INDUS,
tries in which wages were cut. MIR.
Redffeld read from a circular sent
out by the photographers in which
they said the reduction Of tariff on
their articles OF manufacture would
be followed by reduction Of wages
and idleness for many OF their work
men Mr.. Redfield told them that
|s,lch a course would be likely to lead
to an investigation. Mr.. Redfield said
he would not regard the American
manufacturer as worsted in competi-
ton with the world until the efficien-
cy OF, American mills was raised to
the highest possible standard. III
| grasp the public mind at all clear
ly," he said, ut holds u~nfavorable
views toward reduction Of wages ex-
.cept under the direst necessity. AS
therefore, the reduction OF wages
has direct social effects and as the
public has the right to efficiency III
the factory service, the department
has undertaken to find out whether
the facts do or do not justify the
threatened reduction. Observe that
in saying the facts one does not
merely mean the facts as they are.
but also the facts as they ought to
be. Operating with bad equipment,
with un~scientific treatment Of mate
rial, with a%ntiquated methods, in poor
locations, with in sufficient capital
and generally ineffective management
will not be esteemed a satisfactory
reason for reducing wages" The
governments investigation. the secre-
tary assured his hearers, would not
be carried on IN a trust busting"
spirit, but rather with the idea OF
aiding any industry that had drop.
ned into q rut, He said few per-
sons realized how efficient vas the
partment of commerce. He describ.
ed ramifications of the bureau OF
standards, the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce, the bureau Of cor.
porations and the bureau of labor
statistics. He added that the depart
ment Of labor, which would work
in harmony in any such investigation,
also had many agencies to set in mo-
ton. s.s NJ

THE CURSE OF MAR.
Every Part Of Il Was Fulfilled In tbs
Course Of 800 Years.

Curses do sometimes come home to
rOost. One Of the hest knows: is the
curse Of Mar" Tie Fart It Mar vas
cursed prior to 1871. when he vas eIe-
vated to the T.,oSition of regent of
Scotland. This was the curse:
THY lands shall be given to the
stranger. and thy titles shall lie among
the dead. The Ira Mh that springs
frOm thee shall see his dwelling burnt
in which u king was nurspd : his wife
a sacrifice to that same fame. bis chill
dren numerous. but Ut little honor and
three born and grown who shall never
see the light. Horses shall be stabbed
IN thy hall. and = weaver shall throw
his shuttle III the chamber Of state.
Thine ancient tower shall be a ruin
and d beacon until an ash sapling shall
spring from its topnlost stone. Then
shall thine honors be restored. The
kiss Of peace shall be given to the
countess. though she seek It not. and
the days Of peace shall return to thy
lfne."
In the conrse Of 900 years every part
Of the curse was fulfilled. Then in
1920 the ash sapling duly appeared.

WOMEN WIN THEIR BIG
fight FOR FRANCHISE

CALGARY, Alberta, May 19.-The
fight for the franchise for the women
of Calgary has been practically won
and, unless the city council refuses
to accept the recommendation Of the
legislative committee, which Is doubt
full, the fair sex of this city Will
sOon be eligible to sit as members
of the council and otherwise enjoy
on an equal basis the privileges that
now belong exclusively to the male
population. If equal rights for
women are given they will probably
have to ray poll taxes, just the same
as mere man, for the legislative COM
mittee Is of the opinion that not q
thing that the men enjoy must be
withheld from the ladies. The legis-
lative committee which has charge of
the destines of the local suffragettes,
precipitated this state Of affairs when
at a recent meeting It was definitely

the detriment of the gentler sex, the

is admitted as a great concession by
the champions Of women's rights here,
who are preparing to celebrate their
"bombless" victory.
Just what proportion Of the wo'
men of Calgary will take advantage
of tehir new lease Of life, if the coun'

Senator Norris
Once Owned Dogs
And Loves Them
Man Who Criticised Women for Car
5ying Lap Dogs Defines
His Position.

Senator George ". Norris disclaims
any antipathy for the canine kind, and
likewise he deprecates the amount OF
publicity that has been given to certain
Of his critical utterances regarding the
carrying OF poodles-Senator Norris
calls all lapdogs ''poodles."
Il did not know l was going to stir
up such a tempest or make myself the
recipient of such a flood of notes and
letters for and against the principles
I enunciated," said Senator Norris last
night. However, I have only one re-
gret regarding this sudden accession
of fame, and that Is that my attitude
toward dogs in general is misunder-
stood. The Herald assumed that when
/ was boy, out on the farm, l owned
a dog. 4 dog that i loved. a faithful
Fido or Rover or some such named
canine. with short tail and shorter
pedigree. I owned two.
81 loved those two dogs, and they
loved me. I believe either one Of them
would have laid down his life for me.
and / must own to a similar sentiment
as regards them. 1t is not the fact
of being fond of a dog that 1 have
deplored. man or a woman who
could not be fond of a good dog
wouldn't be, couldn't be, much worth
while. What j have meant TO criti-
else is the apparent disposition on the
part Of some folks to substitute canine
companionship for that of humankind.
Love a dog as a dog. and. treat him
as such. Dog fellowship is a splendid
corollary for human fellowship. but 1t
is no substitute"

went over to the Potomac Brick Com

gun. When he came back one of the
men hit him with a brick, and together
they took the gun away from him. He
was badly beaten across the head, and

TO CONSIDER FREIGHT RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Meets To-day.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
will hold a conference this morning. its
last conference in May, and representa-
a petition for the reopenIng of the freight
rate case are awaiting with the greatest
interest and anxiety action that may be
taken on the petition. When the petit
ton was filed about two weeks ago.
members OF the commission stated that
ii would be considered in its regular
order and that II would not be expe-
dited. Officials OF the Eastern roads ap-
pear to be optimistic, however. and to
think that the commission will reopen
the case.
The Eastern carriers are asking for an
increase of 5 per cent in freight rates
on traffic that moves in the territory
east OF the Missouri and north of the
Ohio and Potomac Rivers.
So far the commission has not re-
celved any protests from commercial or
CARNATIONS or shippers against the re-
opening of the case.
The commission has been informally
advised that the shipping interests of
Baltimore will not oppose the reopening
of the case or the increasing of rates
per cent This, railroad men say, Is
the attitude of numerous organizations
which opposed the granting of the in
creases two years ago.
1t is also stated that the commits
sion's own statistics show that the rail-
roads expenses have increased during
the past two years with no correspond
ing increase in revenue.

"PEACE DESIRABLE;
WAR A NECESSITY"
Pastor Charles 7. Russell breaches to
Washington Temple Consrega-
ZION on This Text.

While the Christian warrior of today
would rather conquer along a pathway
of peace this is not the programme the
divine Creator has mapped out for him.
War is a necessity. according to the
Scriptures Sin. the great enemy OF the
human race, will not yield to gentle per-
suasion. 1t must be stamped out by
heroic measures.
Pastor Charles T. Russell, the venerable
head of the Washington Temple Con-
gregation. made these declarations at the
popular afternoon meeting of the or
ganization in New Masonic Temple yes
terday afternoon, when he spoke on
Peace Desirable: War a Necessity"
The occasion marked his first appear
ance in a number of weeks.
At Chris:'s second coming to this earth.
according to pastor, the Bible points
out that there will be war TO the finish,
as kings of the earth will not be con-
tent to give up their scepters that the
right may prevail. and as result they
will have to be deposed by the sword.
The great reforms of the leading coun-
tries of the world, it was declared. have
been brought about by the sword, and
the relief OF the world from sin will
never be accomplished until 1t is fore
IDLY driven from this sphere.
