RURLESON ACCUSES
Paper OF DISLOYALTY
lntimates. Milwaukee Leader Has
Been Using "CamouAage" Tactics.

Camouflage applied to journalism IL
practically what Postmaster General
Albert S. Burleson says of the tactics
of the Milwaukee Leader, organ OF
the Social Democratic party in Wis
consin, in his answer to the petition
for a writ Of mandamus applied for
by the paper to compel Mr.. Burleson
to restore their right of sending their
publication through the mails as sec
ond-class matter.
Denying that the Leader has con-
formed with the espionage act, Mr..
Burleson states that from the declar-
alton of war until the action of the
respondent (Burleson) said respond
ent AYERS that from matter re-
ceived at the department from vari-
Gus sections of the country he finds
that there exists an organized propa-
ganda to discredit and impede in
every way the government in the
prosecution of the war, with the pur-
pose of defeating the objects for
which this government is expendinG
billions of dollars and will probably
be called upon to sacrifice thousands
of lives.
THE publications forming this prop
aganda in many cases subtly guard
their utterances in the attempt to
avoid the criminal liabilities of their
acts under the espionage law They
are nevertheless united in publishing
the came character of matter,
whether partially true or entirely
false. and are daily accomplishing re-
suits in clear violation of the law"
The Milwaukee Leader is edited by
Victor Berger, former Congressman.
He is an Austrian by birth, but later
became naturalized.

BOARD OF TRADE
SAYS DC. MUST
Open ITS DOORS
Fears Business Depression
After War Unless Ac-
ton Is Taken.

Unless Washington throws open her
doors to industries, and invites COM
mercial enterprise. the Capital will
find itself engulfed in a serious busi-
ness depression at the end of the
war.
This is tae outstanding feature Of
the report of the Board of Trade
committee on Industrial Legislation.
Isaac Cans is chairman Of the COM
mittee.
The end of the war will mean the
termination OF many of the positions
now filled by newcomers, and unless
steps are taken to stimulate busi-
ness here, two things must hap
pen," says the report. THE great
increase of population we have en-
joyed must dwindle away. as the
workers go elsewhere to seek en-
ployment, and those who remain will
glut the labor market to the great
injury OF all. And this will have but
one effect-a serious business depres-
sion."
Asks for Position.
The report asks the board OF trade
in a couteous manner for an out
lining Of its position relative to the
development Of Washington in a COM
mercial way.
''If the board is still for the old
pelicy," Cthe Identification and civic
advancement of Washington)" then
the members OF the board who are
looking forward should know it,"
continues the report. in order that
they may press the cause through
other channels.
IF on the other hand. the board
of trade is in favor of the forward
movement, your committee urges that
this also should be made plain, in
order that the work of the new year
may be planned accordingly"
The report points out the advant-
ages OF a commercial position oc-
cupied by Washington. and makes a
stand for the utilization OF the water
power Of Great Falls.
