CITY PEOPLE ARE
ACTING LITERALLY
IN Jewish RELIEF
Country People Given an Opportunity
to Contribute to One Of the Most
Worthy Causes Yet Placed
BerOre the Public.

Mr.. A. L. Merz, district chairman
for the Jewish Relief Campaign, an
nounced today that the people OF
Maysville were showing great liberal
ity in the manner in which they were
answering the call for help from the
suffering Jews of Europe. People OF
all nationalities and religion are unit
ing in answering the first general call
for relief made by the Jewish people.
While the city people are contrib
uting so literally Mr.. Merz says the
people of the county should be given
an opportunity to help out such a
worthy cause and he will be glad to
give afull credit to any citizen of the
county who desires to make a con-
tribution. Checks should be made
payable to A. l.. Merz and forwarded
by mail to his address or left at Merz
Brothers store for him.
In this cry for mercy the people oil
Mason county should be just as liberal
as they have been in all former cam
paigns. No county in the state OF
Kentucky has responded better and II
Is certain that when this campaigg
has closed Mason county will have a.
good record as any other county in thu
entire state.
Mr.. Merz was notified over long dis
tance telephone last night that the
city of Louisville had already gone
over the top in their apportionmen'

URGES FIRING SQUAD PACKERS UNDER FIRE
"BIG FIVE" TARGET OF U. S. At
ToRNEY GENERAL PALMER.
Charges Clear Violations of Antitrust
Law-Hoarding Defined as Crime
Goods Will Be Confiscated.

Washington, Aug. S.-Developments
In the governments drive on the high
cost of living popped out so fast that
they tumbled over one another.
Attorney General Palmer announced
the bringing of antitrust suits against
the five great packing concerns-Ar-
mour, Swift, Wilson, Morris and
Cudahy.
AT the same time the attorney gen.
eral ordered all agents of the depart
ment of justice to arrest profteers,
hoarders and other contributors to
soaring food costs. The first arrests
came In Pittsburgh where concern
was wholesaling sugar at IA cents a
pound.
Food boards may be confscated by
the government.
Intermingled with the cost of living
situation was the decision Of the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee to
notify the president that it disagrees
with his suggestion for special wage
board to deal with railway employees
demands. The committee holds the
president has sufficient authority al
ready to deal with the situation.
Antitrust suits against the five big
meat packers will be instituted imme-
diately by the department of justice.
Attorney General Palmer announced
that the evidence before the federal
trade commission and committees of
congress indicated "a clear violation Of
the antitrust laws" and that he had
ordered prompt action accordingly"
Isidor J. Kresel of the New York
law firm of Jerome, Rand & Kresel
will have charge of the case.

LABOR LEADER OFFERS REM
EDY FOR PRoFITEERs.
House Body Told Rail Men Have
Made No Plans for Strike
Want Lower Prices

Washington, Aug. 7.-Organized Ia
Dor has no concrete suggestion for re-
ducing the cost Of living, but it may
later advocate firing squad for. prof
iteers, Warren s. Stone, head of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
told the house interstate commerce
committee.
Frank Morrison, secretary Of the
American Federation of Labor. told
the committee that labor would not be
disappointed IL it failed to have its
railroad plan adopted Immediately.
1t would simply grid itself for the
educating Of the people to the point at
which congress would be sufficiently
impressed.
Mr.. Morrison said he believed that
the Plumb plan would be so satisfac-
tory that there would be no occasion
for railroad employees to strike.
"The railroads under this plan." he
said, will be run without profit. with
wage-earners and public getting all the
benefit, the public lower rate and the
Questioned by Chairman Esch after
he had presented his formal statement.
Mr.. Stone said the railway brother
hoods were entirely opposed to return
Of the roads to the old system of con-
troll. In the event congress rejected
the Plumb plan, it would be the policy
Of labor to create enough sentiment
out of congress to force its adoption.
1--WE have not and do not make any
strike threats" he said. 1--WE have not
even demanded an increase in wages,
preferring a reduction in the cost Of
living"
Asked by Chairman Esch If he had
any concrete suggestions, Mr.. Stone
replied:
~ think we might possibly offer
many suggestions. We haven't them
in concrete form at this time. 1t might
be that before we get through we
would advocate a firing squad for
some people"
Mr.. Stone added that unless con-
gress found solution of the high
cost of living problem within few
months America would see ats very
worst period"
"The people are not going to
starve," said he. "They are going to
die fighting"
