and moral reasons. We dissent from

We believe that the better class of

that he would not learn much from sec

STEEL COMPANIES FACE
HIGH COST OF MANGANESE
Sudden Jump in Price Attributed to
Germany's Declared Blockade
Against England.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. February 1?.-
Officials of local steel companies are
showing grave concern over the sud
den advance of about 80 per cent iii
the price of manganese. The sudden
jump followed Germany's declara ton
of blockade against England, which,
it is feared, may interrupt the shippin 8
of that alloy from the latter country
to the United States. A lot of 200 tons
for local steel makers few days ago
was sold at 800 ton, delivered in
Pittsburgh. Prior to this manganese
could be purchased in Baltimore at s65
ton.
1t was hero that, up to this time,
many steel makers have been content
to get along with what stocks they
had on hand and the contracts they
held with dealers for their supply this
year. These contracts, however, are
now likely to be Cancelled because of
the wars interference A scurryinS of
the consumers for new stocks has al

Calls Argument Unjust.
To tho Editor of The star:

10 f1n CiltoS rf IDC SldA-
Robert Harlow's article in Saturday s
Star concerning the proposed Jim Grow
car for the District is to my mind ex-
cecdingly narrow in its scope and IN
worthy of a fair. broad minded Amcri-
car. who believes III justice for all.
Consider his argument in detail:
He flrst states that many conditions
exist that have convinced most White
residents that the races should ride
apart as they eat and drink and take
their pleasures apart. He adds the alb
surd rider" that no injustice is con-
templutcd to either race. If that is
what he means by justice, we wonder
what his conception of injustice must
be"
He speaks Of constant friction over
seats. Well, as Shakespeare says,
There be landrats and water-rats," SO
in the cars there are white end seat
hogs as we'll colored ones. We have
ored men and women into uncomforta
BILE places by squeezing into seats in
stead of hanging on to straps. He next
speaks of loud and inebriated colored
fares. He forgets that loudness and
drum kcnness are not confined to colored
people. Noisy and intoxicated whites
are just as obnoxious as colored ones
and offend all people of refined tastes.
monopolzed BY the whites. He next
speaks of the danger of too close
proximity. Is It fair to segregate the
colored riff-raff aud allow the same
class of white undesirab bles to sit any
where besides refined colored people!
Mr.. Harlow evidently thinks that dirt
and disease are peculiar to colored
people and that the clean. sweet and
pure are confined only to the whites
Both classes, however, are to be found
among both races and Mr.. Harlow and
thousands of other sensible white clti-
zens are aware of II also.
The most surprising part about Mr..
Harlow's ''philippic'' is that he states:
There is no wish on the part OF any
white to disparage the better class OF
our colored citizens" He then admits
their wonderful improvement and ed
ucation. which. of course, must m
clude the clean. sweet and pure. ana
still he sees no objection to their be-
ing herded with colored undesirables.
This is the paramount weakness or Mr.
Harlow's position. If he would segre-
from mixing in. with whites, why not
look the matter in the face" as he
says, and segreSate white undestra-
bles to keep them from mixing in with
the better class of colored people
Surely that were but fair. That would
leave the better class of both races to
sit where they please: and since the
better classes OF both races must nee
essarily include the clean. sweet and
pure" surely Mr.. Harlow would have
no objection himself to sitting beside
one whose education, environment and
training were as good as his own.
We must answer his assertion that
the races must be kept apart for social

Democrats further agreed that when
the ship purchase bin comes out OF
conference, if any agreement on it
ever is reached, the republicans VIII
be given an opportunity to renew their

ting the bill go to conference until

ments. There was a flood OF oratorH' y
and q long series OF roll calls, and all
amendments we're voted down
Senator Bankhead started the trouble
with an amendment to provide that
government ships be admitted to coast
wise shipping. This amendment was
defeated by a vote of "a to 4", the
alignment which has preNailed for
many weeks being entirely broken up:
Tweuty-tWo republican senators voted
with the administration democrats. and
some of the regular democrats joined
with the recalcitrant democrats ana
progressive republicans.

amendment to prevent the expectation
Of munitions of war to belligerent ma
tions. This was tabled by vote OF 81
to S. An amendment by Senator
O'Gorman to prohibit purchase of bel
ligerent ships was tabled, As to 49, one
by Senator William Alden Smith to
create commission to study the prob
lem of ocean transportation was tabled,
81 to 81, and one by Senator PoindeX-
ter to prevent government ships plying
between the United States and bellig-
erent ports met a like fate.
Another Poindexter amendment to
authorize the President to expend $780,
100000 for construction of ships in
American ship yards and to operate
them outside of the war zone also was
