Senator Sherman Asserts
Saloons Were Real Cause of
Race Riots in East St. Louis

THE internal. lawless. damnable
saloons that have infested East St
Louis and blighted that community fol-
years" were given as the real source OF
| the recent race riots in the Illinois city
| by Senator Sherman during the debate
on the food control bill in the Senate
II am a 'bone-dry' senator from now
on" he said.
Senator Thomas of Colorado had IN
jected into the discussion the race riots
in East ST. LoIis, giving them as an ex-
ample of the unrest that exists in this
country today, and urging that the
Senate should not create further unrest
and discomfort by prohibiting the manu-
facture Of beer and wines at this time,
as provided in the House food control
bill.
Senator Sherman's Reply.
Senator Sherman, in reply to this sug-
gestion. said:
.The principal source of the vile, the
fetid, the corrosive element that blazed
the way in disorder and wrote the story
of blood across the sky over East st.
.ouis is the Internal. lawless. damnable
saloons that have infested that town and
blfehted the community for years. and
want to know whether the senator from
Colorado will be party to the con-
tinuance of those lawless conditions and
more lawless men!
II have no words Of apology for the
slaughter that has happened there of
American citizens. who. under the full
nanoply Of the laws Of their country. have
been bruatlly outraged. taken into alleys
shot by revolvers. beaten to death with
hludpeons, burned in their own homes
and. fleeing to an opera house for safety

heads. with the result that thirty-four
charred corpses have been taken from the
ruins; ] have no apology for that for my
own state or for any other state 1t is
something that ought never to happen.
and would never happen except for the
Inherent defect that is lurking in our sys-
tenn, mentioned by the senator from Colo
rado-the increasing contempt for law
and order that is springing up all over
this country and resulting in grand pro
cession of criminals. It is the saloon
keeners Of East St. Louis and their kind
who lead the van Of every lawless move

II am a bone-dry senator. There are
more distillers in my state than in any
other country in the world. Just across

PER DIEM WORKERS
ASK CONGRESS- AID
Seek Change in Law Granting
Increase to U. S. Employees
So They May Benefit.
LEGISLATION is LIKELY

Civil service employees organizations
labor unions and other bodies have ap-
pealed to Congress to amend the many
existing appropriation acts providing
a horizontal raise for government en-
ployes up to $500; the amendments
sought being to benefit per diem en-
ployes, who declare the controller OF
the Treasury has Disseminated against
them.
Representative Carter of Massachu-
setts said today he was writing bill
to amend the various paragraphs in the
many appropriation acts which provide
for the horizontal raise in pay, effective
for the first time this month. He also
has replied to inquiries on the subject
that he has the support of leaders on
both sides of the House and expects to
effect the necessary changes.
The ssituation regarding per diem
employees is that the horizontal-raise
paragraphs are so worded in the vari-
GUS appropriation acts covering ex-
penditures for the present fiscal year
that the controller has had to rule that
$685. and SIS shall be the dividing fig
ure in determining the increases. The
horizontal raise provides 10 per cent
salary advances for employees up to
$1,000 and 5 per cent advances between
$1,000 and $500.

mr.. F[ECHER'S MISSION
REGARDED IMPORTANT
Conference Between Ambassador to
Mexico and Secretary Lansing
Aboard Train.

Enough Importance was attached to
the mission OF Henry p. Fletcher, am
bassador to Mexico, who hurriedly left
Mexico City as soon as permission had
been granted him by the State Depart
day with Secretary Lansing on board
the train which is carrying the Secre-
tary to Henderson Harbor. N Y. for a
three week vacation. State DEPART
ment officials have professed ignorance
as to the nature Of the mission of Am
bassador Fletcher. He requested per-
mission to come to Washington three
weeks ago and left as soon as authori-
cation was received.
May Relate to German Activities.
BY some officials it was assumed the
ambassador wished to explain person
ally to the Secretary the extent to
which German activities have been
carried on in Mexico and the influence
German agents have had on the Mex
lean government and people Reports
that Mexico would enter the war as an
ally OF the entente powers are not re-
Rarded by most officials here as prob
able. They also believe it improbable
that Mexico will become active in her
support of Germany
Deep interest has been displayed in
sistency shown by tho Mexican gov
ernment in imposing on the oil COM
panies heavier export taxes and in the
recent DEGREES governing the holding
of land by mining and other corpora
tions.
Declared to Be Not Conf1scatory.
The Mexican government has de-
clared the decrees are not confiscatory.

to the American government by the
companies that the enforcement of the
new orders will result in the forfeiture
OF large part Of the properties now
held by American and British cor
porations. The British government is
interested especially in the oil taxes
since II is from Mexico that much Of
the fuel now being used in the British
navy Is derived. The American gov
ernment's protests against the enforce
ment of the decree has not yet caused
modification. July 10 is the date
fixed for the decree to become effective.

Charges in the Indictment

The indictment charges that the two
corporations were the exclusive bakers
and manufacturers of the bread In
question. and sold it to certain retailers
and grocers at cents a loaf. to be dis
tributed to consumers ''at and for such
proht as such retailers and srocers
might and could obtain. or which said
retailers and grocers might desire to
exact and receive"
1t Is. however, charged that the
agents of the bakers and the grocer
Samuel Golden. acting in his own be-
halr. did wickedly contrive ito prevent
retailers and grocers. including one
William r. Frye. from selling their
bread at less than 10 cents per loaf"
and May l. and on divers occasions
since, did "unlawfully. willfully, wick
edly and wrongfully confederate. agree
and conspire" to refuse to sell or dis
tribute bread and to procure the Corby
Baking Company and the Havenner
Baking Company to refuse to distrib-
ute to Mr. Frye and others bread to be
sold for less than 10 cents per loaf.

Complaint of Per Diem Man.

The per diem mans kick is well ex-
pressed in a letter received today by
Representative Carter from A. H. Rod
rick of this city. chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National AS
sociation of United States Civil Service
Employees at Navy Yards and Stations
Mr.. Rodrick says:
1T is believed that it was the inten-
tion of Congress that the per diem en-
ployes should receive the same amount
of increase as the employees of the
executive departments on salary. but
such will not be the case under the
controllers decision. For example an
employe in the Navy Department who
Is paid $1,10O per annum will. under
the law, receive increased compensa-
tion at the rate of 10 per centum, while
the navy yard employe who receives
$3.52 per diem. which is the equivalent
of $1.1OO per annum, will receive in
creased compensation at the rate of
per centum, or one-half as much as
that received by the employe of the
NAVY Department

Where They Receive No Increase.

"The same example applies to the

per diem. only more forcibly. In ac-
cordance with the decision this en-
ploye will receive no increase at all de-
spite the fact that his annual salary
or compensation ia but $1.57752"
The controllers decision is taken by
members Of the House to mean that the
existing law must be amended so as to
point out specifically that horizontal
raises of 10 per cent shall apply to per
diem employees up to $3.s6 per day, and
that the per cent increases shall ap-
ply to per diem employees between $3.S6
and 1916.

Radical Plans Suggested.

Various radical plans have been sug-
gested to prevent the transmission Of
communications to and from Germany.
One of these is the censorship of all
outgoing and incoming mails and addi-
tional precautions to prevent the car
riage of messages by the crews or pas
sengerS on transatlantic or transpaci-
fic liners or merchantmen. 1t is sug-
geSted that the government also exer.
else stricter censorship over CONNER
cial messages. both by cable and wire-
less. 1t is contended by some officials
that control over outgoing messages is
even more important to the interests of
the government than censorship over
incoming messages.
