least one hundred pounds Of powder in
each case.
When the policemen, with lanterns,
got down among the rocks on the river
shore they found, even though 1t was
then nearing high tide again, that
every tiny cove and beach where deep
water did not extend clear up TO shore
was Uttered with loose powder. 1t
ground and cracked under their feet
as they walked, and thereafter their
progress would have taught thing or
two to the best still-hunter that ever
stalked a caribou.
A strip of shore was allotted 10 each
man. His duty was to collect all sus-
picious stuff he came across into a sin
gle heap and stand guard over it until
he was relieved.
They also patrolled the railroad
tracks in the hope of finding samples
Of the substance that had been placed
on them. Considerable powder, some
of it heaped into piles by its small dis
coverers, was found along the tracks,
but nothing else that looked dangerous.

our passengers and employees. We have
day arranged to establish dor
mtories and enlarge our restaurant
service so that employees Of this com.
pany. who desire TO avail themselves OF
this privilege. should they consider X
an additional safeguard, can sleep IN
the dormitories and have their meals
served TO them free of expense on this
company's property.
1--WE are ready, and have always been
ready, TO meet with our own men TO
discuss mutual interests. The Amalga-
mated Association Of Street and Rail
way Employees is an organization with
interests IN various parts OF the united
States. It's interests are not primarily
the interests Of the people of New
York Of the transportation companies
within its borders or OF the men they
employ.
"To accept the regime OF this or
ganization in this city would imme-
diately make TIE operation of the street
railroads Of New York subject TO the
orders OF the officers of an alien or
ganization with alien interests and
working for alien purposes 1t would
be impossible, therefore, for us TO rec
ognize or TO deal with the particular
organization now seeking to impose it
self upon the city of New York with
out stultifying ourselves in the per
Torrance of our supreme duty 10 the
people of this city.
1--WE wish TO make it clear. there
fore, that we will have no dealings
whatever with this alien organization,
although our willingness TO meet with
our men stands, and will stand. We
are relying upon the loyalty Of the
uniformed employees of this company
TO cooperate with us in maintaining
the service we are obliged to give TO
the people of New York. The men say
on their part that they rely on us to
do everything in our power TO see TO
II that their interests and safety are
safeguarded to the full extent OF the
law. We have been assured by the city
authorities that they will render what
ever aid is necessary TO that end"
Neither the union leaders nor the
companies place much hope of settle
ment in the hearings arranged by the
Public Service Commission. Mr. Had
ley's statement, however, and the fact
that competent authorities believe that
the commission could go much further
than its present plan contemplates in
the event Of a general strike, raise \
significant issue. II was suggested
last night that this expedient might
be used: The companies might be able
through a charge of conspiracy or mis-
demeanor to compel court action. on
the question whether the right 10
unionize the men shall impose upon
New Yorks travelling millions the
hardship that threatens.

Oppose Drunkenness.

Many persons seem to believe that
the liquor interests encourage drunk
enness, but this, according to officials
OF the association, which has it's head
quarters in Cincinnati, is an untruth.
Joseph Debar, OF Cincinnati, secretary
OF that body, explained that the spe-
cial purpose Of The coming convention
"Will be to continue the fight against
prohibition and intcmperance, es-
pecally that form which prevails in
dry territory" in his call for the
meeting he states:
We believe that long experience
teaches and history proves that IL
cense, regulation and control offer tie
only real solution Of the so-ca!,ed
liquor problem.
I'VE believe in protecting our inter-
ests in keeping With the decision Of
the United States Supreme Court.

In the police court OF Savannah, Ga. |
On Monday Of this week, Abe Raskin.
storekeeper, was on trial for sellingl
liquor IN violation Of the prohibition
law. Those spectators who were pres.
ent probably did not regret the time
taken for the trial Of the case. Two
special officers OF the Savannah de-.
partment Of police, who had been az.
signed to whisky duty" told the court
that after buying soft drinks at this
merchants place they purchased
drinks OF whisky and bottle OF gin.
The gin was the center Of attraction
and was offered in evidence. The
color was all right, but when the re.
corder Of the court smelt the LIQUID he
remarked that it had the odor OF co,
logne instead Of gin. The gin was
tasted by persons apparently able to
act az experts in a prohibition city,
and police officers opinion was OBJ
tanned as to whether the stuff had
sting This officer allowed that II
had all that one would desire In this
respect, and he then told the court of
what 1t was made. Here is the form.

table showing the daily MASKING ca

Tremendous interest has been Gre

tor Lestle's Weekly by p. Lincoln
Mitchell, Captain Of Troop c, Ohio
Cavalry, and Secretary of the Cincin-
natl Branch. National Security League:
The great conflict in Europe Is con-
stanl!y presenting tremendous ques-
lions TO the warning nations and many
OF these questions are arising from
c!nGi geAc!os such as have never be-
fore occurred in the history of the
world. One OF the most serious OF
these questions has been the prepare
ton OF munitions. Indeed, according
to many OF the correspondents at the
front and the statements of officers
OF high rank, the matter Of ammuni-
ton has been the most vital one.
Again and again, the lack Of sufficient
, smohe!ess powder has been held re-
spOn&'be for defeat when victory was
almost IN sight This particular phase
or warfare is not new one, for, in an
lnhnltosimal way, it was forcibly illus
trated at the battle Of Bunker Hill.
when the victorious American colon
lists were compelled to give way be-
cause of Lack Of ammunition.
Alcohol in Powder.
1t would be interesting to know how
certain Congressman who are such
ardent advocates of preparedness can
reconcile their position in this resDect
with their approval Of National Pro
hlbltlon. AS a matter OF fact this
country is entirely dependent upon the
dlstilleries Of the nation in the pre-
paratlon and production OF smokeless
powder, tie first essential in modern
warfare. BY careful estimate, the dis
tllleries of the United States TODAY
have a daily capacity of 6O2.5OO gal
Ions OF alcohol, all Of which OUTPUT
coulo De devoted to war purposes
Some Of the figures presented here
with are certain to prove Of profitable
interest to all patriotic citizens of this
country, especially the hundreds of
thousands who are taking part in the
preparedness parades in so many OF
the large cities
Not only have the Allies bent every
EFFORT towards making all of the DOW
der at home, but also, in spite Of their
most strenuous endeavors, they have
imported enormous quantities from
this and other countries and are still
unable to meet the demand REQUIRED
by battle fronts hundreds Of miles
long, where the daily consumption is
almost beyond estimate A case in
point in this connection is Germany's
long continued methods of prepared
ness. While the Allies have been suf-
ferlng from the outset Of the war
through lack Of sufficient ammunition
! ana nave been compelled to import
the same from every available source,
the Central Powers have been able to
moot their every requirement from the

tack, therefore, is not upon ME personal

After assuring the president OF the

MIR, Gompers is a public nuisance 1t
is necessary inference that the portion
OF your remarks Immediately following
constitute the grounds for your judg-

your various assertions is that the po-

tion OF Labor is displeasing to you, and
inevitably raises the question whether
or not YOU would have stigmatized the
president of the American Federation
of Labor as a public nuisance, if he had
publicly endorsed the members of the
United States Senate, including yourself,
had YOU voted in favor of excluding as
sooiations of wage carners from the ap-
plication of antitrust legislation.
And l am again constrained to wonder
if YOU would have stigmatized me as
public nuisance had you found me
plant and usable in furthering your po-
litical aspirations. or if you thought my
personal influence, or the influence of
my office. could be secured by offer of
reward, whether money or office
