COMMISSARYF FOR
STRIKERS PLANNED

CHICAGO. Oct. 19.-Plans for a
commissary department to feed 3OO.-
600 persons affected by the steel strike
during the winter months were con-
sidered at a meeting OF 200 dele
gates from the various unions in
vOlved in the strike here yesterday.
John Fitzpatrick, organizer Of the
steel workers, presented the plan in
an address to the delegates. The
food, he said, would be obtained
through union buyers direct from the
producer. No definite plan for rails
ing funds to carry out the enterprise
was reached. but serious consideration
was given TO the suggestion that
unions outside OF the steel industries
but affiliated with the American Fed
cratic nof Labor be assessed for that
purpose.
A demand that the strike be settled
at once was made by the Milwaukee
delegation. They said that the only
bar TO a settlement was the presence
Of radicals among the strikers, and
urged that such individuals be ousted
from the unions.

Little progress on the peace treaty
was made in the Senate yesterday,
The greater part Of the session was
occupied by Senator Poindexter OF
Washington who made q long
speech attacking Administration
Leader HitchcOck's political record
during the war.
An attempt to adopt the Walsh res

hours bitter debate between Repub-

one hour was given over to this>task
yesterday.
Replying to Senator Poindexter,
Senator Hitchcock defended hts war

The Washington times., 1919-10-19

Some people, not satisfied with get
ting a hammer-lOck on fame, manage
also to obtain a deadlock TO make
their hold secure.
For instance, Mabel Normand, Cold
Wyn star, not satisfied with being
one Of the most celebrated screen
actresses Ga the world, had to go out
and discover Charlie Chaplin, thus as
suring her6elf OF q double immortal
ity. Yet few people know that IL
was the inimitable hoyden Of the
screen who first recognized the merits
Of the funniest man ia the world.
Mabel NOrmand was born in At
lanta, Ga. One OF its principal ex-
ports On by-gone days was a hopeful
young miss with deep brown eyes
and a full. puckeTed mouth. with her
hair neatly put ''up" so that people
might think her mature. This at
tFactive young thing left the scene OF
her activity TO learn how to paint;
having certain ambitions TO emulate
Rosa BOnheur. She headed for the
art center Of the new world, New
York city, there to learn the mystery
OF line and the prOfundity OF color.
Like 50 many people with talent, she
was without funds, however, and in
order to earn q living while she
became a model, posing for such
artists as James Montgomery Flagg,
Charles Dana Gibson, the LeYendeek-
ers, and Henry HUT. Her beauty and
freshness made her very much in de-
mand.

Indirectly, It was the death Of the
late F. P. Collier, owner Of Golfers
Weekly, that led to my first work
in the pictures Miss Normand says,
AT that time I was posing, and
went to Mr.. GibsOn's studios in Car
negie Hall-and believe me, IL was
sad day for anybody who was late
and he let me go because Mr.. Collier
had just died, and he had to go down
to the office Of Golfers Weekly to
settle some business. So I went down
to the Fashion Camera-EddOw'

on Broadway. Several Of US used TO

Free Speech in Balance.

Senator Cummins OF Iowa has been made
chairman of subcommittee Of the senate ju-
dietary committee to which have been re-
ferred the various peacetime sedition laws re-
Gently introduced in congress. On this COM
mittee, for the time being, rests the response
biiity of deciding whether we are to have re-
pressive laws in regard to freedom of speech,
of press and of assemblage as one Of our heri-
tages from the war.
The National Civil Liberties bureau, with
headquarters at New York City, has received
in answer to a letter sent out by that organ
|ization to a number Of prominent men of the
country, some interesting opinions, of which
this committee Of the senate might well take
note.
E. A. Ross, professor Of political economy
lin the University OF Wisconsin, a man whose
opinion is often sought in matters of a gov
ornamental nature, has the following to say of
'the proposed peacetime sedition laws now be-
'fore Senator Cummins' committee:
'T protest against a sedition law in peace
time. BY abandoning the policy of free utter
|ance, which for nearly one hundred and thirty
years has been our glory, this nation would
show weakness and fear. If bitter utterances
are on the increase the remedies are education
and redress OF concrete evils, not repression.
by entering on this well-worn path. we con-
|fess that our government is not as secure in

.ernments. It should be the privilege Of democ-
|racy to smile at utterances which throw autoc-
0racy into panic"

Doing the Square Thing.
burlington Gazette).

The Mexican bandits who kidnapped two
American aviators and held them for ransom
in the of $4,000, were euchered out Of
half of the ransom price by a shrewd Yankee
trick, perpetrated by the army officer who ne
gotiated the release of the flyers.
The trick was fully justified in one sense,
and in another, was not fair. When the United
States gives it's word be it to nation or rough
neck, it feels obligated to keep that word. Con
sequently, when General Dickman, command
ing the southern department of the army,
learned of the ruse by which the kidnapers
were cheated out of their full ransom price,
he promptly instructed the officers to see that
the bandits were given the full $4,000 prom
ised them.
How he will get in touch with the bandits
is not known. United States troops crossed
the border yesterday to pursue the outlaws,
and the bandits are no doubt making tracks
for the tall timber or the deep canyons, or
wherever it is that Greaser bandits seek cover.
They in fine quandary. If they divulge
a hint of their whereabouts the United States
soldiers will get them, and the $500 coming
to them a reward for their kidnapery will
be useless. If they keep under cover the hon
est United States will not know where to find
them to do the square thing.
1t is hoped that the officer who pulled the
$500 trick will not be tried by court martial
and shot at sunrise for his quick thinking.
