MAY BUY WILKELMINA'S CARGO

ablcs it to take charge Of any ship at
any stage of its voyage and to give
it safe conduct to Rotterdam. The
members of the commission hope that
the offer will be accepted. as the Will
helmina's cargo would tide over what
promises to he a serious shortage of
the commissions ordinary influx Of
supplies
The cargo of the Wilhelmina con-
sists of 1000 tons of grain, -four and
general food products, valued by the
owners at 100000, and is intended for
the consumption of civilians il. Ger
many. The steel steamship was char
tered from the Southern Products
Trading Co. of New York by the w.
r. Green Commission Co. of ST. Louis
and the cargo is consigned to the
firms branch office in Hamburg.
The British government. it is under
stood, was not consulted with regard
to the voyage Of the Wilhelmina. and
it is generally believed in shipping cir
cles that the vessel will be seized by
British warships before she reaches
a German port.

LAWSON SAYS NO SOCIAL LIFE
|NTHE COL 0RAD0 MINING CAMPS

Colorado, and not an operator has been
indicted.
Mr.. Lawson said he was shot down
some years ago by an operator. The
operator was arrested by friend Of
his and kept a prisoner in his home.
When the hearing came up, Mr.. Law
son said. the district attorney. John L
Gray. got up and said the case should
not be pressed. as it was a charge
growing out of strike" So the opera
tor was discharged.
Amos Pinchot, the next witness,
pointed to the recent strike at Roosa-
Welt. y. j., where strikers were shat
and killed, as an instance where ABB
sentee control is protected from re-
sponsibility for conditions. He point
ed out that the directors and execu-
tives of the American Agricultural
Chemical Co., which controls the
plants where the strikers were en-
ployed, were scattered all over the
country one of them being A. Bar
ton Hepburn, director Of the Rookie
Teller Foundation.
The commission adjourned until
Monday before Mr.. Pinchot had conf
pleted his testimony, but he was per-
mitted to place the remainder in rec
ord in the form Of a prepared state
ment. In this he advocated an inves-
tigation by the commission or simi-
lar body into the handling Of news in
labor controversies.
