To Buy DisLoyal Papers

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. June a
The Dutchess County Defence Coun-
Gil to-day adopted a resolution urging
every loyal citizen of the county to
refrain from purchasing or distribut-
ing any newspaper or other publica-
tion printed in the German language
and also all newspapers and other
publications. printed in the English
language that defended or excused
the sinking of the Lusltania or other
outrages and crimes committed by
Germany or her allies against the
United States or any of the nations
allied with US. The text of the reso-
luton follows:
Whereas. The Dutchess County De-
fence Councif, as a cooperating agency
of the United States Federal govern
ment, has as its main purpose and
aim the bringing of the present war
to speedy and successful termination;
therefore,
"Be it resolved, That the aforesaid
council does hereby request every
loyal citizen of this county to refrain
from purchasing or distributing any
newspaper or other publications print

all newspapers or other publications
printed in the English language that
defended or excused the sinking of the
Lusitania or other outrages and crimes
committed by Germany or her allies
against the United States or any of
the nations allied with US, on the
grounds that it is the belief of this
council that such papers and publica-
tions tend to give aid and comfort to
the enemy, and that only their con-
tinued purchase by American citizens
renders their existence possible"

added. "1t is tremendously retro
gressive step I cannot say anything
strong enough to express my opinion
of it,"
DR.. Alexander Trachtenberg. head of
the Socialist Bureau Of Labor Research,
said:
"This is one Of the most reactionary
steps ever taken by the Supreme Court,
winch has done so many reactionary
things. The child labor law would not
have freed all the children in the
United States from toll, but it would
have taken children from the most i'm
portant industries and would have set
an example that might have led to the
total abolition of child labor. AS
matter of fact, it would not have re-
leased more than 10000 children out
of the million or more who are work
ing.
"All progressive persons who are in
terested in child labor will be thunder
struck. The Supreme Courts decision
was certainly not anticipated All
preparations we're being made to carry
the law into effect"
Alderman Algernon Lee called the
decision "a most disastrous and re-
grettable step"
Idon't see anything else to say
about it," he said. "At this time, when
the need for the preservation of life
is so great, it is most unfortunate that
protection of the lives Of children
should be taken away"
Morris Hillquit declared that the de-
cision will be regarded in the labor
movement as a very serious blow to
labor legislation.
"The decision seems to block every
effort at uniform labor law" he said.
ut makes the progress of labor legis-
lation more difficult and uncertain than
ever. 1t is one of the most serious
blows dealt the labor movement in late
years, and it is particularly regrettable
at this time, when all national efforts
are thought to be coordinated and uni

Morgan Burglar,
Free Six Weeks,
Again Arrested
John Bernaur Caught With
Suitcase Full of
Valuables
By BRIGGS

Six weeks ago to day John Bernaur,
twenty-six years old, of 243 West
Fifty-fourth Street, was released from
Dannemora Prison after serving out
an indeterminate sentence of from five
to ten years for burglary at the home
of j. P. Morgan.
Early yesterday morning Policeman
Shaw, of the East Sixty-seventh Street
station. arrested Bernaur as he came
from the home of William L. Potter,
a broker. at SIS East Seventy seventh
Street. The man carried a suitcase. in
which. it was said, there were valuables
worth more than $4,000 belonging to
Mr.. Potter. He still wore the suit Of
clothes given discharged prisoner.
The identification of Patrolman
Shaw's prisoner as the same man who
had looted the home of Mr.. MORGAN
was made by the same means as his
original conviction had been obtained
his finger prints.
Left Finger Print
At the time Of the Morgan burglary
the loot had been rich and plentiful
So plentiful, m fact, that after picking
up heavy silver cigarette case the
burglar had laid it aside Unfortunate
ly for him, he left a distinct finger
print on it.
Several weeks later, when a man was
found trying to pawn some of the
things taken from the Morgan home. he
was arrested, and the finger print had
much to do with his conviction. The
same finger print yesterday identified
Bernaur as the Morgan burglar.
=, Prior to being sent to prison for the
Morgan burglary, the police said. Ber
naur had been identified as the burglar
who had entered the homes of William
Guthrie, 28 Park Avenue, and Fred
erlck Gallatin, 1923 East Thirtv-ninth
Street.
Light Arouses Neighbors
The arrest of Bernaur Yesterday was
brought about by neighbors Of Mr.,
Potter observing a light in the house
which has been closed for some weeks
they thought the fact so suspicious
they notified the police. Policeman
Shaw, who was assigned to investieatc
TOOK up post near the house and waited
throughout the night. Just at dawn
bernaur. struggling with a heavy suit
case, stepped out of the house H;s
arrest was easy ~
when the police asked him why he
had returned to his burglar calling so
quickly he told them he had a wife to
support. Mrs. Bernaur, however, ;s
