a policeman as suspect and. although
freed on that occasion, the police
bounded him, and he eventually turned
to crime.

After, extricnting himself from his
last "scrape" in 1915, Kamlnsky de-
cided to "go straight" and went to
Youngstown, o., where he obtained
work in the steel mills. Then when
America entered the war Kaminsky
enlisted. To a friend in Chicago he
wrote:

Railroads Will Not

SAYS DIRECTOR GEN
ERAL OF RAILROADS
McADOO.

Washington, D. C.-Director Gen
eral of Railroads McAdoo has written
to A. o. Wharton, president of the
A. F. of L. railway employees depart
ment. that he has not received a single
protest from any railroad official be-
cause of order No. 8, which prohibits
trade union discrimination.
q feel" says Mr. McAdoo, that it
is most important in this new era of
railroading in America that railroad
officials and railroad employees shall
not live any longer in an atmosphere
of suspicion and distrust.
II need not tell you how deeply !
appreciate the assurances of loyalty
and patriotic sepport | have been re

nected with all kinds of railroad work
since the government took possession
and control of the railroads."

Uncle Sam SpankS
Swift & Co.
BIG PACKER CLOSED
UP.

New York-Uncle Sam has done
many unexpected things since last
April, when war was declared to exist
with Germany.
Among the unexpected happenings
are conscription, control of railroads
and price regulation.
Almost equally as unexpected is the
closing up for 80 days of Swift &
companys egg stores in this city be-
cause the food administration price
for selling eggs was not obeyed by
the Chicago packers.
Truly, these are dark days for those
who talked about "the right to run
their own business"
A dozen branches of the packing
firm is affected. AS an additional
penalty the company must present
the Red Cross with Liberty Bonds to
the value of $4,000, which is the
amount of the offending transaction.
This notice has been posted on the
company's premises by the govern
ment;
Swift & company, by order of the
United States food administration, is
hereby forbidden to buy, sell or other
wise deal in eggs in the city of New
York from April 10 to May TO-"
