PAPER TRUST GETS ITS
SHARE. y
An envelope manufactures told
me his tale of woe. 4 have a
government contract made before
the war;" said he. My paper
has gone up from 100 to 200 per
cent and even then ! cannot Sc
cure the quality provided in the
specifications. If l execute my
contract l will probably be ruin
ed financially
TheNaper trust was squeezing
him, and as he had made the con-
tract befoe the war he could not
shift the loss to the government.
What's The remedy? IWo-fold
in my judgment.
The executive department
should use all its power to curb
greedy contractors and iflt lacks
power then Congress should make
such additional grants as may
seem necessary.
Then Congress, through q tax
on incomass and excess profits,
should take what the president
may be unable TO reach through
his price-fixlng scheme.
In this way, we would get the
exploiters going ard coming.

Washington Letter
By Edward Heating


district.
American manufactu ers, in
particular, and big business men
generally, have failed to respond
to the fine appeal which Presi-
dent Wilson made to their pat
riotism. The Allies are being rob
bed, our own people are paying
outrageous prices and the Nation
al government itself is being
held up' at every turn.
1t would be difficult to exag-
gerate the seriousness of the sit
uation. Congress has granted
the president unparalleled powers
but he hesitates to use it. He
would prefer moral suasiun, but
judging by experience nothing
but the "mailed fist" will sober
certain gentlemen who are drunk
on war profits.
1t has been charged on tie floor
Of the Senate that the govern
ment was paying $35 a thousand
for lumber with which to build
cantonments while private indi-
viduals could purchase the same
lumber for $22 80 a thousand, and
that the government was paying
$40 for rtles which formerly cost
5l7 each. These were cited mere
lY as samples, ard had the Sen
ators responsible for the charges
said they had plenty more in re-
serve.
DEMAND FOR ACTION.
"Ryley Granon", one of the
ablest Of Washington correspon-
dents, prints the following on the
first page of Washington's lead
ing newspaper.
"A dangerous uncertainty
hangs over the country on account
Of the failure Of the government
thus far to adjust prices Of war
materials or food. From every
part of the country demands are
coming in for action. Business
men are unable to 60 forward
for fear of ruin. Labor is becom-
ing restless despite its patriotic
desire to support The war. The
price of food is criminally high.
The prices of war materials are
so extravagantly high that the
manufacturers laugh and blush
when the subject is mentioned.
THE charge is made that there
are too many middlemen, too
many "rake-offs" too many hand
Iings by different railroads. all
putting up a poor mouth and all
charging all that traffic will bear
The dreadful danger conceal
ed in this state of affairs is not
overlooked by such men as Presi-
dent Wilson,"
GETTING RICH OVER NIGHT.
The other day it was announc-
ed that w. \. Morgan Was to
have a large part in building air
ships for the government and
people began to ask 'who is W. a
Norgan?" Then q Story develop
ID which reveals the extent Of
some Of the war profits,
When the war began w. A..
Morgan was working for 4 Chic
ago packer. He quit his JOB and
organized a company to handle
war orders. When he took charge
of the Buffalo Copper and Brass
Rolling Mill Company its stock
was a drug on the market at SIS a
share. This last week it sold
for 81 900 a share!
And that is only a sample.
There are any number of Nor
gans. No one seems satisfied
with a reasonable profit nova

|. N. S. AGAIN SUED FOR
ALLEGED NEWS STEALING
Public Ledger Charges Rival with
Pirating Articles From Early
Editions.

PHILADELPHIA, June 29.-Suit
to enjoin the international News Serv-
ice from pirating war news and other
related matter was begun in the
United States court here today by the
Public Ledger company. The suit is
similar to that successfully instituted
in New York against the defendant or
ganization by the Associated Press.
The bill Of complaint alleges that
the Ledger company held n contract
with the London Times to furnish GER
tain articles with the privilege of re-
selling the matter to newspapers in
other cities. 1t is alleged that the de-
fendant pirated these articles prin-
cipally by copying them from early
editions of the Ledger and other east
ern newspapers and telegraphing
them to subscribers OF the Interna-
tional News Service in the west, avail
ing itself of the difference in time
and enabling its western subscribers
to publish the articles simultaneously
with the newspapers to whom the
Ledger had sold the service and in
some cases in advance of publication.

BOLOGNA WOULD BE RID OF
RUTH CRUGER'S MURDERER
Cocchi in Terror Of Electric Chair;
Extradition May Not BE Fought
by Italy.

BOLOGNA, Thursday, June 2S.-
Alfredo Cocchi. slayer of Ruth Cruger,
is in solitary confinement in a dark
dungeon on a diet of bread and water.
Each morning and afternoon he is
brought before the examining magis-
trate Evidently this continuing or
deal is CALLING him. He succeeded In
smuggling note to relative, in
which he wrote:
Get them to leave me alone and
not try to make me talk. | am ready
to serve my sentence in prison, but
wish to do so in my beloved Italy. |
do not wish TO die in a foreign land
in the dreadful electric chair"
The people of Bologna are indig-
nant that their city should have been
brought into unpleasant notoriety by
Cocchi, especially at a time when the
Italian mission is visiting the United
States and Bologna university has
Just conferred the degree Of doctor

idea is that 1t would be good thing
to permit Cocchi to be extradited 50
that Pologna might be rid of the en-
