WASHINGTON WEEKLY CHAT

Washington, d. c., April 9.-The
Farmers National Council is actively
represented in Washington and is
mindful of the country's interests in
general. The organization is a spec
lal union of the leading form organi-
cations of many states and has men,
bership of over 100000. The council
is well final ced and has many iron
in the fires of government activities,
all looking toward the betterment of
American farming conditions. Just
now it is making strong protest to the
plan of the Shipping Board to turn
over to private interests at "the cur
rent world market price" the ships
constructed It great expense by the
government during the war. The
farmers believe that the ships belong
to the American people and should
not be turned over to group of ship
ping profitecrs; that holding COM
pany should be authorized by Con
gress to operate the ships, make them
pay for themselves and then turn a
profit into the U. S. treasury. The
farmers want to make their export
shipments at a reasonable freight rate.
They claim that the Morgan shipping
interests have earned as much as 81
per cent, showing what government
handling can do in the matter of gov
ernment-owncd vessels at rates much
lower than those of the shipping
trust.

ANTI-SALOON CHIEF
SPEAKS in DAWSON
DR.. JONES IN ELOQUENT AD-
DRESS IMPRESSED THOSE
WHO HEARD HIM.

DR.. c. 0. Jones, superintendent of
the Georgia Anti-Saloon League,
spoke at the court house in Dawson
to small audience Tuesday night.
Unfortunately just about the hour
for the lecture a heavy cloud threat
ened a downpour, and no doubt the
weather conditions kept a number
away.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. w. P. Hornady. After the sing
ing of America and an invocation by
Rev. T. NJ Galloway the speaker was
introduced by Rev. T. H. Thomson.
Instead of the subject announced,
"a New Morning in New World"
DIR. Jones chose rather to have a
heart to heart talk on the issues in
volved in TIE fight that is now on for
world prohibition. He answered
pointedly and convincingly to his
hearers all the argument that the
amendment is unconstitutional and
an infringement on personal liberty.
His arraignment of the liquor traf-
fic as a hydra-headed monster, which
as fast as one head is severed raises
another to hiss defiance to all law
and order, was dramatic and thrilling
The AntiSaloon League, he declared,
was in the fight to the finish, with no
thought but of a sweeping victory
not only for this nation but for the
world to be made clean, efficient and
happy. In this day of triumph and
rejoicing it should be remembered
that Americas strongest appeal to
the nations of the world that they
adopt prohibition will be its strict
enforcement in America.
In beautiful word painting the
speaker handed out big boquet to
the w. C. T. u, which he characteriz-
ed one of the strongest forces work
ing for the overthrow of the liquor
ira Tic.
The flag contest excited the keen
est interest among the school chill
dren, and enthusiasm ran high when
it was found that the fifth grade held
the larger rumber Of votes and was
entitled to the handsome banner.

expected to be entertained with thrill
ing stunts, but the gas gave out as
the tank was moving down the slope
on south Main street and before a
new supply could be procured a rain
came up and made the streets too
slick for the anticipated performance,
and sent the crowd scurrying home.

Manhattan and Williamsburg
Spans Jammed During
Rush Hours.

Traffic officers stationed on the Man
haitian and Williamsburg bridges said
last night that during the rush hour
yesterday afternoon more traffic of all
sorts moved over these bridges than
they ever had seen. The crush was
particularly noticeable at Manhattan
Bridge. Ordinarily, even in the eve
ming and morning rush hours, this
bridge is adequate to the demands
made on it, but yesterday from 4
o'clock to 7 o'clock there was an un-
broken line of vehicles OF all sorts
moving slowly across the bridge.
The vehicles entering the bridge ap-
proach at Canal street were counted
at intervals during the three hours,
and this count showed an average Of
20 passing a given point every 60 sec
onds, or about 5,22O during the entire
time. The number of persons in the
various vehicles. from those carrying
only 2 passengers up to the big trucks
that had go and 10 persons jammed
into them, averaged 20, or moro than
100000 during the three hours from
to7
This did not include the bridge cars,
which were kept running and which took
enormous crowds. The green cars on
the bridge, known as the Three Cent
Line, and operated by the Manhattan
BBridge Line. were In no way affected
by the strike. They kept running un-
der a headway OF two and a half min
utes and even bettered this at times,
The same was true OF the red cars OF
the Brooklyn and North River Line.

HEAVIER PENALTY NEAR

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Sir Auckland
Geddes, Minister OF Reconstruction. in
answer to a question in the House of
Commons at the resumption Of the
hearings into the high cost of living,
indicated to-day that an attempt
would be made to force food profiteers
TO disgorse. In reply to the question of
whether the Government would make
an attempt to have the profiteers re-
turn some of their high charges, Sir
Auckland said:
Tho question OF retrospective ac-
uon Is now under consideration
1t is the purpose of Great Britain to
establish a central authority to deal with
profiteering. Sir Auckland said this GEN.
trail authority, according to the present
plan OF the Government. would be asso-
ciated with local and county tribunals.
New powers will be asked for in connec-
ton with the project and an increase in
penalties for violations put into effect
These penalties, which the tribunals
win have the power to infiict. would run

planned. The bill. Sir Auckland said.
would apply to England, Scotland and
Wales, but not to Ireland.
In view Of the proposed measure. he
added, the help Of the select committee
of Commons, which is conducting the
Investigation would not be needed. The
committee then adjourned, and its pro-
cedure in the new legislation will be de-
termined later on. The Minister Of Re-
construction added that the House of
Commons would not adjourn until there
was some power in the hands Of the Gov
ernment to deal with profiteering.
At the first sitting of the committee
yesterday George H. Roberts, the Food
Controller. set forth the difficulties OF the
! situation In dealing with the high cost
of food and other necessaries, declaring
for one thing that deficient home produc-
tion was responsible for some Of the
trouble. Great Britain not having the
coal or manufactured goods to exchange
for food.
He advocated more severe punishment
| for persons found guilty OF profiteering
and gave his opinion that there should
be always an effective control of food
prices and of supplies throughout all
stages of their distribution. He said the
Government was making an inquiry into
possible measures for protecting the
country against high prices for meat.
This statement was made after he had
suggested that the situation with regard
| to an alleged American meat combine
called for international action.
