ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept.
28.-Opening the campaign for
the second Liberty loan of $3,-
000,000,000, Secretary McAdoo
today called upon the bankers of
America to fling back the German
-hordes on the battlefields of
finance.
The failure of a single issue of
government bonds, McAdoo told
the American Bankers associa-
ton, would be worse for America
than disaster upon the field of
battle.
Americas forthcoming bond
issue, he said, is pitted against
corresponding loan in Germany.
Quoting a Berlin manifesto which
boosted of successful subscrip-
tion campaign in the Teutonic en-
pire, McAdoo declared:
LET us meet that challenge by
a subscription to our second Lib
erty loan on the 9th day of Oc-
tober, nine days after the close
Of the German loan, which will
make clear to the German mill
tary despotism that America mar
shals not alone her brave soldiers
upon the field, her invincible navy
on the high seas, her industries
turnout the length and breadth of
the land, but as well her finan-
cial resources, and that she is de-
termined to use them all without
stint and regardless of sacrifice to
vindicate American rights, out
ragged too frequently by German
infamies."
Before June 80, 1918, the U. s.
will have to raise by additional
bond issues between 10 and IA
billions Of dollars, McAdoo said.
Approximately five billions of this
will go as loans to our allies.
The second Liberty loan, said
McAdoo, will be more. attractive
to the small man. than the first.
The new bonds will bear four per
cent interest and will be exempt
from all taxes except sugar-in-
come, excess profits and inherit
ance levies.

Spread OF the coast shipyard
strike to Tacoma appeared certain
Friday.
The Metal Trades council, the
shipwrights' and the carpenters
unions, in joint session Thursday
night endorsed the boycott OF 10
hour lumber by vote of 235
to 3.
An official vote on the boycott
will be taken by the Metal Trades
council Friday night. The vote
of the shipwrights will be taken
next Tuesday and that of the car
penters at their meeting next
Thursday.
Every shipyard in Tacoma, with
the exception of the big Todd
shipbuilding plant, will be affect
ed in case they refused to handle
10-hour lumber and the strike is
called. The Todd plant already
has refused to handle anything
except S-hour lumber.
Wages Involved.
However, 1t was learned today
that the metal trades, in addition
to voting the lumber boycott, may

yard workers who are scheduled to

Negotiations for the new wage
scale which is causing the diff
Guilty in Seattle, have been pend
ing in Tacoma for some time, It
was learned.
The Seaborn shipyards, the
Wright shipyards, the Tacoma
Shipbuilding Co. and Babare Bros.
all are declared 10 be handling
some 10-hour lumber. Officials
of the Seaborn Shtpbuilding Co.
admitted Friday they might be
affected by the boycott.
Nick Babare, of the Babare
Bros. plant, declared 1t was so
hard OF get lumber at all now
that he'd use anything he could
get. "If / had a chance to get
lumber on which men had worked
"a hours a day, I'd use It," ne
said.
The union Underwriters say
they have traced 10-hour lumber
80 all the Tacoma shipyards ex-
cept the Todd plant. Most of 1t
has come from outside the city,
from the B. & M. Lumber Co. at
Lake Taps and from Ostrander.
No. st. Paul mill lumber is being
used, they say.
The demands of the shipyard
workers here probably will be
similar to- those made on the Sc

BREAD and
MILK OUGHT
TO TUMBLE!

Tacoma bakers today are left with no
shadow of an excuse for continuing the
present exorbitant prices of bread.
Tacoma dairymen, when their association
meets Saturday night, CAM vote to raise the
price of milk to 10 cents quart without de-
liberately branding themselves as highway
robbers and purse snatchers
Here S new reason why:
Pacific coast flour prices for family pat
ents wer cut to 5000 barrel wholesale at
a meeting of Pacific Coast millers in Port
land Thursday night, at which IT, b. Wilcox,
chairman of the millers' committee Of the
food administration ON the Pacific coast
presided. The new price is So. so below the
high mark set several months ago. and $40
less than the price at the time the govern
ment announced basic wheat price of
$2.O5 bushel
reduction of $50 a ton In the price of mill
feeds was also announced.
Tacoma bakers have been giving "the
high price of flour" as an excuse for charg-
ing us Is cents for 22-ounce loaf Of bread,
while Los Angeles has been able to get "a
ounce loaf for II cents, and England an even
lower rate
Tacoma dairymen have been complaining
of "the advancing price of feed" in boost
ing Tacoma milk prices to eight quarts for
dollar and planning still further increase
to 10 cents quart.
NO MORE EXCUSES WILL 90. THE
BOTTOM HAS DROPPED OUT OF
THEM THE TACOMA PUBLIC WILL
NOT BELIEVE THEM.
In the light of the prices set by the millers
there is no decent choice left for the bakers
association but to cut the price of bread
There is no decent choice for the dairymen
who control prices here but to lower, rather
than raise, milk prices
Watch them-these dairymen and bakers
both BY their actions now they will have
to show whether they are Tacoma's enemies
or friends whether they are loyal citizens
or robbers; whether they are backing Uncle
Sam or the kaiser.

The Globe had some pretty good
looking potatoes on exhibit in the front

and the newspaper man had begun to

UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB WINS
APPLAUSE

The University Glee club held forth
at the opera house Wednesday night
to good audience which accorded the
visitors hearty welcome and applaud
ed every number, calling many of the
performers back the second and third
time. Homer Mcdonald, the heavy
basso, was greeted with applause ey-
cry time he showed up. Homer was
raised in Grangeville and the old home
friends took great pleasure In showing
him that they remembered him, and
that there was nothing tickle about
them.
The entertainment as a whole was
good. Comrades in Arms" was the
best number given by the chorus; Mr..
Erb as reader in THE Shooting of Dan
McGrew," certainly qualified as an ar
fist; Homer McDonald's solo, ASLEEP
in the Deep" won great applause; G.
N. Johnson's violin numbers were
roundly applauded, and the members
Of the quartet were pretty well worn
out with the vigorous and prolonged
return calls made upon them by an
approving audience.
They had a $40 house, and the high
school student body which brought the
glee club here and guaranteed its price
will clear their skirts and come out
few shekels to the good; all of which
is certainly coming to them.
