CONVICT LABOR PROFIT
TOBURLESON-. FISHERMAN
State and Postmaster General Split
Proceeds. Charges Senator.

Postmaster General Burleson was thor
oughly grIlled by Seantor Sherman yes
terday during the course Of a speech on
the corrupt practices act
The Illinois member likened Burleson
and Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor. to two Dromios,
and charged that the Cabinet had profited
from the fruits of convict labor employed
on his ranch In Texas
Il criticise Gompers as I would critf-
else priest or a minister OF the Cos
pei who attempted to deliver his con-
gregation over to some political power
1t is prostitution OF high office and a
departure from a sacred duty" he said
Turning to Burleson. Senator Sherman
read into the Record a statement from a
Texas newspaper showing that in 1909
the Burleson & Johns ranch was oper-
ated largely by convicts from the Texas
jail. He asserted that the foreman of
the ranch had been guilty OF gross cruelty
TO the employees and was once indicted,
but not convicted, for the death of a
negro under punishment He said that
the same foreman had later been ap-
pointed postmaster at Long View, Tex,
by the Postmaster General
Roper Acquainted with Employees.
Discussing the appointment Of former
Assistant Postmaster General Roper to
the Wilson campaign forces, the Illinois
solon declared that its purpose was ohvi-
Gus, since he was personally familiar with
the postoffice employees who would prob
ably supply the nucleus of a great cam
paign fund.
'Burleson Is the wealthiest member Of
the Cabinet and one of the richest in the
CITY," he said, and he has profited from
this convict labor which gave the State
81 per cent of the profits Of work ubIIe
he took the remainder"
He declared it was inconsistent for
Gompers TO be a political bedfellow OF
Burleson since organized labor has for
many years been fighting such contract
labor.

EASTERN RAILROADS
UNDECIDED ON COURSE
Do Not Now Share Determination of
Santa Fe Head.

CBy the International News service)
New York. Sept. Large Eastern rail-
roads do not share the determination Of
E. P. Ripley, president OF the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. who an
nounced today that his road would not
obey the new eight-hour law unless order
ed by the United States Supreme Court.
Investigation today developed that the
big Eastern roads have not decided upon
what course to pursue, but have advised
their head counsel to make an exhaustive
study OF the law, following which 1t is
expected that Frank Trumbull. chairman
OF the railway executive advisory COM
mittee. may call a meeting OF the heads
what step to take.
Estimates Of the cost OF the eight-hour
law to the individual railroads made their
first appearance today.
A. H. Smith, president OF the New York
Central, said:
The estimated increased cost per an
mum to the New York Central Railway
is $500, 900 for classes of employees with
whom the controversy arose. The news
papers quote labor Organization leaders
as stating numerous other classes of en-
ployes are covered by the law. If the
law is SO interpreted and applied the
above estimate would be largely in
creased"
George w Stebens. president of the
Chesapeake and Ohio, estimated that the
eight-hour law will cost his road not less
than $4,000 annually.

BOYS DROP. CLOTHES
OF TIPLESS CUSTOMERS

Special to The Washington Herald
New York, Sept. The right OF res
taurant hat boys to drop the hats of. and
otherwise harass. diners who give small
tips, or no tips at all, Is about to be de-
fined by the Supreme Court of Kings
County. This question, long of great i'm
portance in New York city. has arisen
in the case Of Harry Gladstone against
the Hofbrauhaus in Rockwell Place,
Brooklyn, where, for several years, he
has been majordomo of the check room.
Gladstone, whose dismissal was sought
by his employers, has appealed to the law
for protection. He asserted that he had
an unexpired contract with the Hofbrau-
haus mana gement and that he could not
be ousted.
The suit was on trial before Supreme
Court Justice Blackman, who was asked
to grant an injunction. The lawyer for
the restaurant company contended that
the contract with Gladstone was revoca-
BILE, and besides he said, Gladstone's hire
lings made a practice of dropping the
hats and coats of non-tipping diners
Justice Blackman reserved decision.

CARRANzA FACTION
SEEKING u. S. loan
Powerful Financial Interests Trying to
Obtain American Cash.

New London. Conn. Sept. 7.-certain
powerful American and Mexican fnan-
ciers are making every effort to obtain
loan for the Carranza government.
Among these men are some who
helped the FIRST CHIEF into the Next
CO Presidency and expected to realize
millions out of concessions and other
political favors.
The efforts of these men have in
no way been encouraged by the Amer
lean members OF the American and
Mexican joint commission, but they
have had a far-reaching effect never
theless. The first indication of this
was manifested today.
Although the commission held no ses-
sion today. the American delegates were
extremely busy IN comprehensive ex-
animation of Mexico's finances Believ-
ing that the, question of a loan will
necessitate extended discussions, they
prepared themselves in advance.
In addition to government reports the
American commissioners called in their
counsel, James Linn Rodgers, special
American representative in Mexico, and
Stephen Bonsal, their special adviser on
Latin-American matters. Efforts were
made to learn how much OF loan Mexico
would have a right to ask IL the country
produced its normal yield Of agricultural
products, minerals and oil The customs
receipts and exports were also analysed.
Franklin K. Lane, chairman of the
American delegates, was asked II the
Mexicans had urged a loan
The secretary said he could not discuss
the subject.
1t was nevertheless learned authorita-
lively that the Mexicans are expected TO
suggest the need OF financial assistance
at tomorrow's session.
The American commissioners, accord
ingly, spent the day examining every
claim made by the MeNcans at the first
meeting.

trenches are made to look as much like
their surroundings as possible This
trench was dug by the machine gun COM

noncommssioned officers could see what
a properly constructed fire trench looks
like. The infantry companies often In
