The purchase Of the Washington
Times through the financial assistance

and also the political and pro-German
activities Of brewers.
Mr.. Brisbane was questioned also

transaction was a business affair en-

other brewers who assisted Feigen-
span in underwriting the loan. The
brewers advanced $4,000.
The witness denied allegations of
pro-German sentiments in editorials
he has written, saying he always has
supported the cause of the United

Excerpts from editorials appearing in
the Hearst newspapers were produced
by the committee. and Mr.. Brisbane

M'ADOO WARNS
RAIL STRIKERS
u. S. Government Cannot Be
Coerced or inundated by
Employees.
ASSURES JUSTICE TO ALL
Communication Addressed to Heads
Of Labor Organizations HAVING
jurisdiction Over Shop
Employees.

Washington, June director Gen
eral McAdoo addressed communica-
ton to the six heads of labor organ
1zations having Jurisdiction over the
machiniSts, boilermakers and other
branches of organized labor employed
In railroad shops, pointing out the
meaning and possible consequences of
strikes or walkouts of railroad en-
ployees during the war.
The communication reads:
"The strike of certain shopmen, ma
chlniStS, etc., in the railroad shops at
Alexandra, Va, has created a very
painful impression on the public mind
cannot believe that these men knew
what they were doing. They are all
employees now of the United States
government. They are not employees
OF any railroad corporation; therefore,
this was strike against the govern
ment of the United States.
1T is the first time in the history Of
our government that any of it's en-
ployees have attempted a strike
against their government. Such ac-
ton is incredible. For the good of
our beloved country, and for the hon.
or of railroad men in the service
everywhere, / hope that there will be
no repetition of what every one must
condemn as unpatriotic in the highest
degree.
The government cannot, Of course,
be coerced or intimidated by any Of
its employees. 1t is anxious to do
justice to all and will do justice to
all as far as it is possible to measure
justice.
Recognizing that there are prob
able inequalities in the recommend
atoms of the wage commission which
should be impartislly considered and
dealt with / appointed in my general
order No. q, dated May rs, board
OF railroad wages and working condi-
tons composd Of three representa-
i've labor men and three representa-
tive railroad men, whose duty it is to
hear and pass upon all petitions and
complaints.
Every class Of employees or parts
of classes of employees who feel that
they have just ground for complaint
under the wage decision should sub.
NIT their cases promptly to this board
and they will be given just and impair
tial consideration.
The American people have just
been called upon to pay largely in
creased freight and passenger rates
for the purpose of paying in part the
increased wages, amounting to more
than $3OO,0O0,O00, awarded to railroad
employees"

ONE EXPRESS FIRM |
GREAT COMBINATION is APP.
PROVED BY GOVERNMENT.
Business Of All Companies to Be
Merged Under New Corporation,
With Capital of $3O,OOO,O00.

Washington, May 3O.-One union
express company for the United
States was created by agreement be-
tween Director General McAdoo and
the Adams, American, Wens-FargO
and Southern companies, whose trans
portation business will be merged I'M
der new private corporation with
capital of more than $30.OOO,O00 to be
known probably as the Fedeal Ex-
press company. George S. Taylor,
now president of the American, will
mead the new company.
After July 1, when the combination
becomes effective, shippers will direct
Shipment "by express" without re-
gard to company, and soon thereafter
the individual names of the separate
companies will begin to disappear
from wagons, stations and cars.
The company will be the express
carrying agency of the railroads, oper-
atlng privately, but under contract to
turn over 5OA per cent of their gross
revenues-more than $2O0,O000OO last
year-to the roads for transportation
privileges. Three smaller railroad
owned companies, the Western, Great
Northern and Northern-may join the
combination later.
A pending application Of 10 per
cent Increase in rates filed before gov
eminent operation of railroads for the
express combination was contemplate
ed will be passed on soon by the in
terstate commerce commission.
More than 100000 employees of the
four companies are to be retained un-
der the new corporation, and their
wages will be raised in many cases,
according to Mr.. Taylor. The amount
will be determined after the scale Of
wages advanced ordered by railroad
employees is examined carefully.

stoker's Act Of Bravery.

In these days of undersea warfare,
when the blow is often struck without
warning, new danger is added to the
already hazardous tasks of the ships
firemen. Speed is an essential in
beating the U-boat, and this requires
constant work. Recently the bottom
blow valve of boiler was carried away
on vessel Of the United States navy.
One of the crew was Aloysius Fawcett,
a fireman, first class. With two others
he made his way through o Steam-flled
fireroom and fought a passage through
a hot cloud in the engine room. Here
he helped haul the fires at critical
moment. The nerve AMI quickness OF
the act saved the boiler and the yes
sci from serious accident. Fawcett en-
listed in the navy in 1911, at Gin
cinnati.

PRESIDENT ASKS
PEOPLE TO SAVE
Requested to Buy Only Things
Necessary to Health
and Efficiency.
THRIFT PLEDGE ALSO ASKED
All Citizens Must Be Economically
Adjusted to War Conditions IL
Nation Is to Play Its
Part in Conflict.

Washington, D. C.-To save mate
rails and labor for necessary war pur-
poses, President Wilson appealed to
Americans ito buy only those things
which are essential to the individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
teer on or before June %, National
Thrift day, to invest Systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
'This war is one of nations-not of
armies" said the president, land all
of our 100000 people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions if this nation is to
play it's full part in the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
''The problem before us is not pri-
marily a financial problem, but rather
problem of increased production of
war essentials and the saving of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment of our
army and navy. Thoughtless expendi-
ture of money for nonessentials uses
up the labor of men, the products of
the farm, mines, and factories, and
overburdens transportation, all OF
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
''The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
ton of young and old in national
thrift movement. / therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary of the treasury, to the practice OF
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
in all fields necessary TO the winning
Of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind; to
devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks and to buy only those
things which are essential to individ-
ual health and efficiency.
"Buy More U. S. Securities"
''The securities issued by the treas
ury department are, SO many of them,
within the reach of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter is
wide open to all of us.
II appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Savings stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with the gov
eminent.
II earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before June % to save constant
~ and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities of the government.
1.-The 28th Of June ends this special
period of enlistment in the great vol
unteer army Of production and saving
here at home. May there be none un-
enlisted on that day."

President Lincoln Sunk by Ger
man Submarine Friday
Morning.
WAS FORMER GERMAN SHIP
Vice Admiral Sims Notifies Secretary
Daniels That 1S,ooo-Ton Vessel
Went Down an Hour After
Being Attacked-Cas-
ualties Unknown.

Washington, June 3.-The American
the United States, was sunk at l0:4o
o'clock Friday morning by German
submarine. The following announce
ment was made by Secretary Danleis:
"The navy department has received
a dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims
stating that theU. s. S. President Lin
coin was torpedoed at 10:4O O'Clock
this morning and sank an hour later.
"The vessel was returning from Eu-
rope. No further particulars have been
received"
Though details are lacking, it is as
sumed from the fact that the trans
port was returning to the United
States that few, if any. troops were
on board. Meager reports so far re-
,ceived mention no casualties.
The vessel, registering 1902 tons,
was formerly of the Hamburg Ameri-
can line, and, with all other German
merchant ships in American waters at
the time, was seized by the govern
mert when the United States entered
the war.
The loss is the second instance OF
ian American transport to fall victim
to the Hun U-boats. Like the Presi-
ldent Lincoln, the Antillus. torpedoed
isOon after the United States began
lsending troops abroad, was returning
practically empty to the United States.
The Tuscania, in the sinking OF
which several hundred American sol
diers paid the supreme sacrifice, was
ia British transport, bound to France
with American soldiers on board and
under convoy at the time of British
deStrOyerS.
