RUBBING IT IN ON UMPIRE.
How Fiendish Fan Led Autocrat Of tho
Diamond to Assist at His

Gus Axelson, veteran Chicago base
ball scribe, tells this one:
In the National league there was
an umpire named Harrison. He was
having d rotten day of it at the Cubs
park and, while standing back of third
base, heard a fan cry, Hey, jumps re
member Youngstown?
Harrison, who comes from YOungs

friendly voice, and waved to the fan

William Hohenzollern Regarded by

Foreigner.

Amerongen, Nov. 1S.-William Hob
enzoIle~n has not been interned by the
Netherlands government. He is re-

eigner, who has sought refuge and who
has claim to protection. Presumably
he is free to go where he likes, but the
fact that his suite has actually been
interned restricts his movements.

former crown prince, as well as the
former emperor, ceased to be soldiers

PINTO BEAN CROP ON IT'S LAST LEGS
FOOD ADMINISTRATIONS WANT
MORE CONTRACTS.
Growers Holding Back and Not Sign
ing Up, Due to the Fact That They
Do Not Understand the Plan.

To date the food administration has
received contracts from growers for
less than 100000 pounds of pinto
beans. This is far below the mark set
for this date. Unless signed contracts
from growers for several times this
amount of beans are received within
the next few days the plan will not
be successful, and growers and ship
pers will lose the great benefit of the
food administration policy and intro
ductory campaign for pinto beans.
1t is evident that the growers do
not fully understand the food admin
istration buying plan. All must aid
in making the plan clear to growers
and in pointing out to them the i'm
portance of cooperating with the food
administration in handling the present
crop. Growers should get contracts at
once from their county agents or local
food administration and send to the
bean section, U. S. food administra-
ton, Denver, Colo.
In some localities pinto bean grow
ers have the impression that they can
not get their money for ninety days
if they sign the food administration
contract. This misunderstanding arises
from the fact that the food admins
tration reserves the right to cancel
contracts unless rs per cent of the
growers having beans on hand sign
contracts before March !. Some grow
ers have the mistaken idea that 1t
will be ninety days before they will
know for certain whether or not they
will get the Scent price. 1t may be
necessary to extend the time of the an
nouncement a few days past March /,
as growers contracts are coming in
more slowly than was expected. This
depends entirely upon the growers. AS
soon as it is assured that the required
rs per cent of the available crop has
been contracted for, definite state
ment will be made and growers will
be asked to begin delivering their
beans. They will receive cash from
the shipper on delivery. The plan is
to move the beans to market as soon
as they can be gathered in carlots.
Some localities will necessarily be
asked to delay delivery longer than
others. This is necessary in order to
prevent the dumping of large quanti-
ties of beans on the market at one
time. In sections where the time OF
delivery is delayed, shippers may ac-
commodate growers by storing their
beans for them and advancing money
on them Growers should not hesitate
to sign contracts. Delay on the part
of large numbers will be ruinous to
the entire plan. The growers will be
losers.

FRISCO LAW AND ORDER COM
MITTEE AT ROPES END.
Started Out With Million Dollar Fund
to Crush the Organized Labor Move
ment, but Found 1t Too Big Job.

That the so-called law and order
committee of San Francisco chamber
of commerce has reached the end of
its ropes and soon will be but an un-
pleasant memory in the community,
is the report that comes from an au-
thentic source, says the San Francisco
Labor Clarion.
For some time past it has been ru-
mored that the so-called law and order
committee was looking for graceful
exit" that it had exhausted its ia
nous million dollar fund" and was
experiencing difficulty in getting more
money from the members of the cham
Der of commerce, who wanted to be
shown that the work of the so-called
law and order committee was worth
while. Now comes the news that the
so-called law and order committee has
discontinued it's publicity department
and has dispensed with its publicity
man, well known writer of fiction,
who was receiving $500 per month
for "peddling the bull" for the law
and order committee, so-called.
Also comes the news that the re-
port on the industrial survey of San
Francisco, made by one Miner Chap
man, has been placed on the secret
files of the so-called law and order
committee and will never be made
public.
1t is also reported that the U. s..
bureau of censorship has taken cog
niZance of the infamous and malic-
iously false stories concerning the la
Dor movement of San Francisco, writ
ten by German for the law and order
committee, and published in a local
magazine subsidized by the l.. and o..
committee, and that arrangements are
being made to have the series of
stories come to an abrupt end.
When all is said and done, the local
labor movement has made great
strides since the formation Of the So
called law and order committee. Dur
ing the life of that committee, prac-
tically every union has negotiated a
closed-shop agreement, with increased
wages and improved working condi-
tions, and several new unions have
been organized, despite the fact that
the l.. and o. committee, altho deny
ing it, has done its utmost to destroy

All this is not to detract any from
such fame and glory as Schwab has
in the business world. 1t is merely
to tell who he is, so that what he
said recently at a $25 a plate ban
quet in New York can better be un-
derstood This is what he said:
"In the very near future we must
look to the worker for a solution of
the great economic questions now be
ing considered. / am not one to care
lessly turn over my belongings for
the uplift of the nation, but | am one
who has come to a belief that the
worker will rule and the sooner we
realize this the better it will be for
our country and the world at large"
You are right, Mr.. Schwab! The
day of the worker and the producer
is at hand, and it means democracy
and equal opportunity. 1t means
stopping the trend toward the con
centration of wealth in America
trend which, if continued, would rot
our civilization at the heart and spread
social disease that in time would
turn US into another Rome. Rome
was not destroyed by barbarians from
the outside; it declined and fell, an
easy prey to barbarians, thru rotten
ness within, brought about by con-
dition in which very few owned all

WHAT SCHWAB SAID.

VI rom -faTtlSdH beaueT.)
Charles NJ. Schwab is a captain of

used to be credited with receiving the
largest salary that any man any

forget how many million dollars a
year it was, but it was only part
Of his income. He is one of the steel

When someone wants to write an
article on success in business, he
writes about Schwab. He is held up
as an example to young America
an example of how men can raise
themselves to places of power and in

the modern business meaning of the
term. He controls the lives and des-
