REDUCTION IN SUPPLY

By Reason Of Embargo on Ship
ments Publishers Face Seri-
Gus Situation.

Embargoes declared by various rail-
roads preventing the shipment of COM
modities by reason of the impending
strike have cut off shipments of news
print paper and as a result the news
papers of the country are facing a
serious situation. Few newspaper
plants have storeroom of sufficient
size to permit the storage of any great
quantity of paper and their supplies
are shipped to them every few days.
Neither the interstate commerce COM
mission nor the federal trade commits
sion has the power to order the en-
bargoes lifted, but they have agreed to
urge the railroads to give all possible
aid to the newspapers should the strike
be called. The commissions will rec
ommend that the roads give news print
paper first place on the list of COM
modities and If possible that il be car
ried on the food trains.

ORGANIZED LABOR OBJECTS.
Porto Rican Body Protests Form of
Island Government.

In the organization of the new island
government in Porto Rico under the re-
cent act of Congress, United States Off
Gals have ignored labor while capital
reigns supreme according to a protest
from organized labor of the island which
has been received at the headquarters of
the American Federation of Labor.
In letter to President Samuel Comp
ers, Santiago Iglesias, president of the
Free Federation of Workers of Porto
Rico, says the workers may have to re-
fuse their cooperation in the new gov
eminent and look to some other way
of securing what IS legitimately due
them II labor is not more fully recog-
nized.'
THE principal feature Of the new gov
eminent now being established" says the
letter, 'is the absolute ignoring of labor
in the official circles. The governor has
reorganiZed the administratio ton under the
capitalist base, that is to say. he has
confirmed In their offices the old men and
those VINO remained out were accommo-
dated with sinecures provided by the new
act. LABOR has not been consulted or
heard at all. Capital reigns supreme"

ANSWER TO WIFE'S SUIT
Denies He Is Resident of District of
Columbia and Makes Counter
Charges in Divorce Case.

Denying that he is a resident of the

proof that his wife is resident of
Washington so as to entitle her to
bring suit for divorce against him here.

suit. He denies the charges made by
his wife, makes counter charge of
desertiop and asks that the bill be dis
missed.
With the exception of the question
of jurisdiction the allegations of the
answer appear to correspond with the
statements in the husbands response to
the almony rule filed shortly after the
suit was commenced.
Mrs. Snow has been granted Tempo
rary alimony of $500 per month and
the custody of their infant son, Dexter
II. Snow. The father is given permits
sion to have the child each Sunday, on
condition that he does not take him
beyond the District line. Mr.. Snow has
brought proceedings at Rockville for a
limited divorce and custody of the
child.
He is represented by Attorney George
P. Hoover.
