Striking Actors sued.

New York. In an effort to prevent
a spread of the strike called by the
Actors Equity association to other
cities, the Producing Managers Pro-
tective association announced that its
attorneys had been instructed to bring
Injunction suits against the Equity in
Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia, re-
strafning it from interfering with pro-
auctions in those cities. It also was
stated that the suits for 100000 filed
by the Shuberts against the Equity
and nearly 300 OF it's most prominent
members were but the forerunner Of
suits to be filed by other managers,
which would run into the millions.
Ten theaters here have been closed be-
cause of the actors strike and several
have been made dark at Chicago and
other cities.

STRIKES IN HAMMOND.
Car Men Walk Out Again in
Indiana Town.
Several Companies Of State Troops
Held Ready to Curb Rioting at
Steel Plant.

Hammond, Ind, Aug. 18.-Ham-
mond's labor troubles were aggravated
by strike Of street car men, the Sec
ond in two weeks. The tieup affects
the lines not only in Hammond, but
also in East Chicago, Whiting and In
diana Harbor.
The street car companies are part
of the Chicago surface lines and when
employees of the latter went on strike
for higher wages workers in the Calu-
met region also quit. With the return
of the Chicago men to their cars on
an agreement involving increased
wages and fares the Hammond men
took out the cars again. expecting sim
liar relief. But the company refused
to increase wages until the city should
authorize an increase Of fares to z
cents. This authority has not yet
been granted and the men refused to
take out the cars.
The lack Of transportation makes
acute the situation developed by the
strike of employees Of the Standard
Steel Car plant, whose demonstrations
since they walked out have become
SO riotous that Governor Goodrich has
modified several companies of militia
at Indianapolis ready to dispatch them
to Hammond in case trouble grew
more serious. knowledge that the
governor was prepared to take vig-
orous steps to suppress disturbances
had quieting effect. Hundreds Of
idle men and women congregated
about the plant despite orders against
picketing. Police officers who tried
to dispense the gathering were shot
at, one of the officers being seriously
wounded.

No Reason for BOOSTING Coal

Washington. General Director Of
Railroads Hines told congress that
while there had been some car short
age in the bituminous coal districts,
he did not anticipate any shortages in
transportation which will be in any
sense exceptional or abnormal or
which will Justify oppressive prices
for COAL"
''The danger that confronts the pub
lie in this matter" the director gem
eral asserted, sis that any shortage
either in production by the mine or in
transportation may be exaggerated so
as to serve as pretext for heavy in
creases in the coal prices, which, in
my opinion, are already high, general
~ speaking"

FORD, IS AWARDED SIX CENTS.
Verdict of Jury Ends Long Drawn
Out Libel suit.-Both Sides
Claim Victory.

Mount Clemons Mich.-Henry Ford's
$1,OOO,OO0 suit against the Chicago
Tribune, which editorially called him
an anarchist, and which was begun
more than three months ago, came to
All abrupt end When u jury, after ten
hours elaboration, awarded the auto.
mobile manufacturer damages to the
amount of six cents.
The jury had been instructed by
Judge Tucker to regard the editorial
complained of by Ford as libel and not
justified by the defendant. He told
the jury that the only question before
it was the fxatibn of the amount of
damages sustained by Ford.
After the verdict was read, Attor-
ney Alfred ]. Murphy, for Mr.. Ford,
said:
"The important issue in this case
has been determined favorably to the
plaintiff He has been vindicated.
Money damages were entirely subor-
dinata and were not sought by Mr..
Ford. He stands not only indicated,
but his attitude as an American citizen
has been justified after trial which
raised every issue against him which
ingenuity and research could present.
His friends are entirely satisfied
Weymouth Kirkland of counsel for
the Tribune, said:
eve call it victory for the reason
that Attorney Alfred Lucking, in clos
ing for Mr.. Ford, stated that anything
less than substantial damages would
be defeat for his client"
Mr.. Ford was not in court. The
Tribune was represented by Captain
Joseph Medill Patterson, one Of the
publishers.

SAYS law TO STAND.
WILSON AGAIN vEToEs REPEAL
OF DAYLIGHT MEASURE.
DECLARES COUNTRY NEEDS IT
Realizes Annoyance People Are Sub
jected to, But Ayers Act Essen
tial to Increased Production.

Washington, d. president Will
son for the second time vetoed a bill
repeating the daylight saving law.
This is the law by which the clocks
are set forward an hour on the last
Sunday in March and turned back an
hour the last Sunday in October. The
first veto was several weeks ago, the
repeal being attached as a rider to the
annual agricultural appropriation bill.
White house officials and members
of congress are unable to recall a
previous instance of a president hav-
ing twice vetoed the same bill. Eff
forts to pass the agricultural meas
ure over the veto failed in the house
and then the separate house repeal
bill then pending was passed by the
senate.
Leaders in congress doubt that the
two-thirds vote necessary to pass the
repeal measure over the presidents
head can be obtained.
The presidents message vetoing
the bill follows:
.To the House of Representatives:
1 return this bill, FL. r. 1854, AN act
for the repeal of the daylight saving
slaw,' without my signature, but do so
with the utmost reluctance. / realize
the very considerable and in some re-
spects very serious inconvenience to
which the daylight law subjects the
farmers of the country to whom we
owe the greatest consideration and
who have distinguished themselves
during these recent years of war and
want by patriotic endeavors worthy
of all praise. But have been obliged
to balance one set of disadvantages
against another and to venture a
judgment as to which were the more
serious for the country.
''The immediate and pressing need
of the country is production, increas-
ed and increasing production, in all
lines of industry. The disorganiza-
ton and dislocation caused by the war
have told nowhere SO heavily as at
the Industrial centers-in manufacture
and in the many industries to which
the country and the whole world must
look to supply needs which cannot be
ignored or postponed.
1T is to these that the daylight
saving law is of most service. 1t
ministers to economy and to efficiency.
And the interest of the farmer is not
in all respects separated from these
interests. He needs what the factor
les produce along with the rest of the
world. He is profited by the prosper
fty which their success brings about.
His own life and methods are more
easily adjusted, venture to think,
than those of the manufacturer and
the merchant.
These are considerations which
have led me to withhold my signature
from this repeal. / hope that they are
considerations which will appeal to
the thoughtful judgment Of the house
and in the long run to the thoughtful
judgment of the farmers of the coun-
try, who have always shown an adj
mirable public spirit"

THE IN.oRowINo GERMAN

We have had the benefit of the pub.
lished views of most of Germany's
leading men, during the war and since
its close. Their unanimity of opinion
is astonishing. since we have heard
repeatedly from their highest auto
crat. and from that all the way down
to their most radical socialist.
Not one among them all has ever
her duty to the other nations.
They speak with one voice for Ger.
many. There Is every possible eX-
PLANTATION OF why she lost the war, but
not one word of the crime against
humanity which she perpetrated in be-
ginning the war and the inhuman way
in which she waged it. Since peace
was declared we have heard of Ger
man hunger and the peril of the new
government if peace is not made
promptly. Loud are the wailings as
to the sad economic plight in which
the German people find themselves
after having expended all their eco.
nomc energies on n war of conquest.
Never lament is heard for the de.
vastation wrought by German armies
in other lands ia pursuit of criminal
purposes.
The Germans will be helped by the
Allies. in so far as they really need
help. in the fundamental matters of
life But little attention will be paid
to their present epidemic of self-pity.
Germany needs, abpve all things,
to learn how to ''be a sport, to play
the game squarely and take without
whining the inevitable consequences
of her own actions. The bad boy
among nations must grow up. If pos
sible, into Il useful. law.abiding. self
respecting and neighbor-respccting
manhood.
The Allies therefore cannot afford
either to tolerate German arrogance
or to reduce Germany to dependence.
The Germans must work out their
own salvation through bitter eXpcr-
fence of the ancient truth, What Il
man soweth. that shall lie also reap

THE FIRST NEED

One of the posters used in advertis.
ing the recent Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call bore the words. "All you
need is a heart and dollar or
course, the dollar was pretty neces-
sary. but the heart was by far the
more essential of the two. With that
to begin with. it was simply matter
OF a little contriving, of denying one
self some small thing. of opening Il
purse or making out Il check.
1t is fascinating. when one stops to
consider how many good things can
be done in the world by people who
possess hearts. There is plenty of
money. there are plenty of workers
with energy and time and ability. All
they need is a heart to set them at
tasks of mercy. Health and happiness
and safety for all, courtesy and
honesty i'm human relations. decent
living conditions, all these things can
be attained so easily when that one
requirement is met.
New Years resolutions would not
be broken so early-perhaps they
would not need 10 be made-if the
heart were not lacking to make them
effective.
Most people have the dollar. How
to secure the heart for using it right
ly .. is the difficult problem which the
world faced for many a day. Never.
theless. there is something encourag-
ing in the truth taught by the Red
Cross poster
"All you need is a heart" and the
other things can easily be done.
