The Columbus flagship Santa Maria, went into winter quarters at Wester- ly early last fall and has been afioat alongside a wharf in the Pawcatuck river ever since. This means a great loss to the owners. as it is during the summer that the income is the great est, and it is classed as a poor days business when the receipts from visi- tors is not in excess of $10. The cause of this financial loss is due to the plan to have the ship in Chicago in the early summer, and the delay in not getting her there is the failure considerab ble distance towards the des- tination. Every effort has been made to get a suitable tow, but, as the cap tain in command says: Tt has been impossible to secure the service of a tug, for a long distance, for love or money"
 Plan was arranged on Tuesday for the Santa Maria to become part of a tow, bound from New York to Boston, but the indications were that it would fall through, as it would not give time to store the ship, get a, crew, procure towing equipment, get clearance from the custom house and New London. and transact other bus mess due to the long stay of the ship in Westerly. A part of the plan was for the tug Westerly to tow the ship down the Pawcatuck river and out to the vicinity of Bartlett's reef, where a tug with several barges bound to Bos- ton from New York, was to arrive at midnight. The Santa Maria was to be transferred as a part of that tow. The Santa Maria was at her berth in Westerly when the report closed.

There are many automobiles, of many makes and from many states, in Westerly daily, and it is noted that in all the states the design of the registry plates is changed each year. This plan is pleasing to the automo- bilists who have ambition to be clas- sy and up-tO-date, and also gives mo- tice to traffic officers that the cars have been legally registered within the year. The states seem to vie with each other in making these plates at traCtive and their presence does not detract from the appearance of the handsOmest and more expensive cars.
 But not so in Rhode Island for in this state the style has not been changed in years, and it is the cheap est looking plate that is attached to any of the automobiles that visit Westerly. The 'TufTl fT5ce:s car lot tell by the plate whether or not the car has been registered in 1916, as the law directs, as these plates have not been changed in style in at least five years. This plan is a saving of con- siderable proportions to the state, but the a"tJ1r obilisUs that comply witli
 are TCquirel to com" ac1oss with the price each year, but get no real value for the money paid. One who was among the first to register an automobile in the state remarked: {: Its about time Little Rhody fell in to line"

LABOR AGAIN TO URGE
AFTER WAR CUNFERENCE
Confident That Gathering Would In
huence Peace Terms.

The American Federation of Labor
will renew its proposal for a world labor
conference, simultaneously with the gen.
eral peace congress at the close Of the
war, in spite Of the rejection Of this
suggestion by the British trades union
convention at Birmingham. England, 1t
was announced at Federation headquar-
tiers today.
I'VE still believe that such confer
ence would have great weight in urg-
ing and presenting the welfare Of hui
mainly. and in determining the nature of
the decisions of the world congress-" de-
clared Frank Morrison, secretary of the
Federation yesterday. THE refusal of
the British trade unionists to listen to
our proposal, doubtless is based upon
deep rooted objection to peace sugges-
lions OF any character.
Out of this grim and deadly hostility
there has grown an intensity OF feeling,
bitterness and racial prejudice that
serves to make all efforts at peace at
this time impractioable and futile Mr..
Morrison said. But at the proper time
our suggestions will be renewed. America
has maintained a policy of isolation from
entangling alliances, and has kept free
from diplomatic jugglery that has in
volved so many other nations, and 1t will
be deemed proper at the opportune mo-
ment to offer American labors good Of
foes, in conjunction with the influences
of labor organizations abroad. to the end
that humanity may best be served"

Federal BUREAUS PLAN.
joint VICE CRUSADE.
Investigations Reveal Connection Be-
tween Vice and Drug Dealing.

In a new effort to stamp out CONNER
cialtzed vice, the Bureau of Internal
Revenue and the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation have Joined forces and are
Launching sweeping investigation. ma
uon-wide in scope, 1t was announced
yesterday. Experience of both bureaus
working Independently has shown that
the white slave traffic, and deal
ing in forbidden habit-forraing drugs are
businesses almost invariably carried on
by the same coteries of criminals White
slavers are drug addiots to a large ex
tent, and, furthermore, they use habit
forming drugs in obtaining victims for
their traffic, the Independent tnvestiga-
tons of the two bureaus have revealed.
The recent campaign against white
slavers In New York City was largely
responsible for bringing about the new
concerted action of the Federal bureaus.
Taking valuable clues from Prosecutor
swann's Investigations in New York, the
Federal agents plan to scour the coun-
try in an effort to reduce the vicious
traffic now going on.
Contrary to popular belief, the white
slave traffic throughout the country has
not fallen off. but, If Anything, has in
creased during recent years, according
to the Bureau OF Investigation. An aver
age Of one new case a day is reported.
1t is stated. Not all of these turn out
to be cases involving commercialized
vice. but many of them do, according to
the officials
will be compared and II the facts pro-
cured on one charge are insufficient to
bring about conviction, the other set of
facts will be used. BY joining forces In
this manner, 1t is believed a long step
Will be taken in suppressing vice.
