many corporations in which he and his
brothers are directo.AS Mr.. Guggen-

to labor conditions among his en-
ployes.
The executive committees Of the

Refining Company had installed many
devises to raise the standard of effic-

was increased and the business i'm
proved.
He said he did not believe the labor
ers in smelling and refining works

said, had no objection to organizers
going among the men and organizing.
he said that discomfort had been on
the increase for several years.
And 1t will Increase unless some
remedial measures are TAKEN" he said

legislation. We need more business
legislation"

He said he did not believe the great
philanthropic organizations were doing
the work they were supposed to.
Many people don't want charity .
he said they want work. The state
should find it for them. The state
should tax the fortunes of rich men
when they die. This money should he
used to assist the poor.,'

eREENeRlAR CREW ARRESTED.
Notice Of Release First Intimat;on
Washington Had of Detention.


Washington, Jan. 21.-While the
American government today awaited
Great Britains explanation of the
seizure of the steamer Greenbriar, 1t
developed that American sailors of her
crew, as well as those of the steamer
Carolyn, had been arrested by Ger
man authorities at Bremen.
In a brief dispatch informing the
state department that the sailors had
been released from detention and were
free to join their ship, the American
consul at Bremen gave the first in
formation that the sailors had been
arrested and added no details. The
officials here could only suppose that
the men might have been arrested for
misconduct ashore or possibly detained
until the departure of their ships, to
SUPPRESS any military information they
might gain.
The Greenbriar sailed from New Or
leans and Norfolk for Bremen with a
cargo OF cotton under certificate is
sued by the British consul at Nor
folk.
Her commander complained that a
British cruiser seized MS snip, hoisted
the British ensign, damaged the ves-
sci in navigation and detained him at
KirkwaA, before he was permitted to
proceed to Bremen.
The Carolyn also carried q cotton
cargo to Bremen. She called at Fall
mouth before proceeding TO Bremen.
Secretary Bryans request for informa-
ton Of the circumstances surrounding
the seizure Of the Greenbrier has been
received at<the British embassy here,
Whether the state department will
investigate the detention of sailors at
Bremen probably depends upon the in
formation expected from tho Amer
ican consul.

Ship Bill Political Pressure.
If the administration ship purchase
bill is passed by this congress 1t will
be done mot because those who voted
for it favored it but as the result OF
the most fragrant political pressure" in
the opinion of Senator Weeks, who to-
day resumed his attack on the bill.
Senator Weeks denied that he sought
to f1libuster.
While senate republicans continued
their fight on the bill, democratic lead.
ers sought to reach an agreement, on
proposed amendments.
Senator Weeks said:
Il believe there are possibilities Of
greatest international complications
involved in the passage Of this bill:
that if it passed it would be inef-
fective, failing to carry out the wishes
Of its sponsors; that it il ecanomically

Turning to the presidents Indianap-

people of the country could not UNDER
stand how the president could have
so lapsed from his previous poise and
go to the extreme of unfounded state-
ments with which his address was
filed"
