Of Great Severity.

Paris. Jan. 2s.-Louis J. Malvy, form
err minister Of the interior. appeared to-
day before the senate organized as
high court of justice to answer charges
of high treason for acts committed
during the war in the exercise Of his
official functions.
Exceedingly pale but apparently
self-composed the former minister
listened unmoved to the accusation
read by M. Merillon, chief Of the gov
crnment counsel.
The preliminary proceedings came to
an end early after NJ. Boudillon. coun-
sci for the defendant. had replied to
the accusation. The court then went
into the secret council chamber to con-
slider the legal points raised by the de-
mand Of two civilians to be made
parties to the case.

BEERLESS DAY PLAN
OF ST. LOUIS SAVER
Excise Commissioner Would
Close iBreweries.

st. Louis.--John T.. Mooney, one of
the two excise commissioners of st.
Louis county, in thrift stamp ad-
dress to an audience of fifty at the
Ninita Park Methodist church. sug-
gested that "beeriess day" might be
inaugurated as an aid to food conserv-
alton.
The breweries. he said, consume
large quantities of foodstuffs and coal
and this might be released for gener-
al consumption il the breweries were
to close down one day each week
This, he said, would be better than
closing the schools.
He suggested also that it might be
found advisable to cause saloons to re-
main closed one one week day or to
close earlier each night to conserve
coal and light

Goodyear Stitchers,
Workers on Army Orders,
Walk Out Monday

All the Goodyear Stitchers at the
the r. P. Hazard and Co. shoe fac
tory in this city, walked out on
| Monday and all efforts to arbitrate
the matter have signally failed. The
men requested slight increase in
wages, and this in face of an increase
of 1000 which the company volun-
tarily gave only last week.
The situation is like this; Presi
dent Wilson, under date Of April 9,
1918, issued a proclamation request
! ing that in case Of any dispute be-
| tween employer and employees, that
| the same be settled without tnterup-
ton of work, in order that there
might be no discontinuance of in
dustrial operations that would re-
suit in a curtailment of the produc-
ton of war necessities.
! Mr.. Hazard, upon his arrival In
Gardiner, Monday. after a trip to
New York ana Baston, notified the
men of the presidents proclamation.
and told them that the r. +. Hazard
Co would absolutely grant the re
quest of the president as embodied in
his proclama tior. That they stood
ready to arbitrate any controversy
over wages or any other matter. eth
er through the State Board of Arbi-
tration or through a chosen board of
arbitration. or through Commissioner
! BGals, Presidcn. Gray of the Gardiner
Board Of Trade and Hon. Q. 3. Clason
and Judge w. &. Atkins. Mr. K. r.
Hazard further offered to pay the
men any wage that they demanded.
provided that they would finish the
work on the present contract. The
difference betwee II the present wage
and the amount asked by the men to
be placed in the hands Of the Labor
Department at Augusta. TO all Of
these propositions the men absolute
~ refused to agree, or TO consider
the proclamation Of the president
and insisted on q straight wage to be
paid them direct and not through
any outside parties
Mr.. Hazard states that the diff
ference between the price asked and
the present price is so small that
theer should be no controversy over
it. He does claim that the big prin-
, ciple is the doing Of what the pres
ident requests. and feels that there
should be definite decision regard
ing the matter arrived at before the
r. p. Hazard Go, enters into any
further war contracts. The following
| is from the presidents proclamation
And do hereby urge upon all
employers and employees within the
United States the necessity of util-
lzins the means and methods thus
provided for the adjustment Of all
industrial disputes, and request that
during The pcndency Of mediation or
! arbitration through the said means
and methods. there shall be no dis
continuance q industrial opera tons
