Rcd Cross Drive for Them on this
Week.
The women Of Manchester should be
gathering up all of the discarded clo-
thing Of Uncertainties this week and see
what Ia suitable for use in the devasta-
ted countries. for beginning March "a
and continuing until March 81 the Red
Cross will carry on Used Clothing
campaign, and it is hoped that Yer
mont will stand high among the states
in the amount contributed. No quota
has been set for Vermont, but it is
hoped that New England will do fully
her share in collecting part of the TO-
900 tons of clothing and shoes expect
ed from the United States.
Tn plan which will be followed is
the one which has been so successful
in the collection of clothing for Bel
GUM. On previous occasions the Red
Cross has been responsible only for the
collection Of clothing and the delivery
Of packed goods to the railroads. In
this campaign, the Red Cross will as
sumo the entire charge Of the opera
tions from the time of collection to the
time when the baled clothing is deliv
cred 10 the ships of the European Re
lief Administration which will trans
port ii TO Europe. The distribution
Of this clothing win be entirely under
American supervision. The American
Red Cross commission will supervise
it in those countries, where they are
at work, and in those places where
there is no Red Cross organization,
Mr. Hoover has offered TO have his
food representatives take charge of
the distribution. Thus the RESPONSE
bility for the campaign will be on the
Red Cross from the time Of the collcc-
tion Of the clothing to the time of its
ultimate distribution in Europe.
This clothing will be used in the
devastated parts of France and in Bel
gium and Italy somewhat, but more es-
pecially in Poland. the Balkans, Rus

Union Delegations Announce
if Leaders Reject Fair
Offer They Will Re-

Winnipeg, June 6.-With union
leaders late Friday admittedly max
ing every effort to reach settle
ment, the end of he Winnipeg
strike seemed rapidly approaching.
Opposition of the returned SOL
diers seemed to have decided the
struggle. Delegations of union men
announced if the strike leaders re-
jected any "fair offer of settlement"
by Monday, they intended to "go
back to their jobs"
R. B. Russell, one of the "big five"
strike leaders, said certain men,
bers of the citizens committee were
blocking a settlement"
One of the union leaders said
forms have been prepared to ascer-
tain whether employers are willing
TO take back all men and women
who participated in the general
strike. 1t was pointed out that the
federal government has flatfY re-
fused to reinstate postal employees
who left the service and that the
city has taken the same attitude re-
garding firemen on strike.

Daniels Appeals to
Academy Graduates to
Uphold Navy Record

Annapolis, Md, June 6.-Secre-
tary Daniels in an address at the
graduating exercises at the United
States naval academy today de-
clared that the closing of hcstilities
did not mean the United States
navy could "rest on its oars,' but
that it must surpass its great war
record by a greater record in
peace"
The asa members of the gradual
ing class, the largest in tine history
of the academy, were urged by the
secretary to apply all their initiative
and energy in the great task of de-
veloping the efficiency of the navy
You are coming into the navy
in period that will challenge all
your resources and initiative said
Secretary Daniels. "You must not
imagine for a moment that because
the war is ended the navy will or can
rest upon its oars. All your force
and energies are needed, for we are
determined the navy shall not, as it
did after the war between the states
and the Spanish-American war, mark
time for a decade"
"The navy has made great rec
ord in war. Let US make greater
record in peace"

Prohibition Bills
Being Considerably
Senate Commute

Washington, June 6.-Arguments
for repeal of war time prohibition
and for legislation for drastic en-
forcement of that and constitutional
prohibition were heard today by the
house judiciary committee.
Representative SABBATH, demo-
crat, Illinois, in favoring repeal of
the wartime act, contended that
dealers should have had at least a
year in which to close up their busi-
ness. He urged the committee to
interview soldiers back from the
front, investigate conditions in the
larger cities and not to be informed
by professional prohibitionists."
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for
the anti-saloon league, discussed
legal phases of the bill for enforce
ment of prohibition, now before the
committee.
1t was the intent of the amend
ment, he declared, to wipe out the
liquor traffic, which has no inher-
ent right to exist" and the only diff
ficulty ahead would come when a
state attempted to permit something
which the constitution prohibited.
"When that comes" he added, I'VE
will meet it in the courts"

TR0UBLE IN SIGHT BACK TO OWNERS
Postmaster General SAYS
That Order Issued Thursday
Was Misconstrued; No
Action Contemplated.

Washington, June 6.-Postmaster
General Burleson Thursday sent to
Chairman Cummins a letter declar-
ing that his order had been miscon-
strued; that he had not turned back
the wires to private ownership and
that no such action was con-
teinplated.
Mr.. Burleson's letter follows:
"An order issued by me Wednes-
day relative to the operation of the
telegraph and telephone systems has
been construed by some as actual
return Of the properties to the own
ers. No such action has been taken
by me nor is any contemplated.
Dissolves Operating Board.
"This order simply disso1ves the
operating\ board appointed by me
under date of December IS, 1918.
and directs that the systems again
be operated by the regular operating
officials under government super
vision. Responsibility of the gov
,ernment to these systems in no wise
ceases. 1t being evident that these
properties are to be returned in the
very near future, it was necessary
for the postmaster general to take
steps Immediately to set up the reg
ular operating organization of the
companies, so that when the proper
ties are turned back it can be done
without confusion or interruption to
the service which was the purpose of
the order.
Steps to Prepare Data.
This order in no wise affects the
legislation pending before your
committee or before congress. 1t
will enable the companies to begin
steps Immediately to prepare the
data and collect their information
to be submitted to the state COM
missions for the rate cases. which
will probably be taken up imme-
diately after the period of gover;-
ment control ends"
Unanimous decision to pres; leg
islat;on for repeal of the wire control
resolution despite Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson's order was reached
by the senate interstate commerce
committee. Chairman Cummins an
noun ced that the bill would be called
up in the senate next week.
After a further hearing, how
ever, the committee amended
the bill so as to continue existing
telephone toll rates in effect for 90
days after the wires are turned back
instead of 90 days as originally pro-
Dosed.

Paris. June 6.-(Havas. 1.-The

sien.
"Fi,lme will face war, or life or
death, and will not tolerate that its

Declaring that duly elected repre-

of the city had voted for a union
with Italy, the message added that
the city's right to self-determination,
freely exercised and placed under
protection of America, was denied
by President Wilson, who in IA
points proclaimed the fundamental
principle and right refused to the
very city which offers the world a
unique typical instance of self-de-
termination.
"Fiume wishes to know if the
senate which represents American
people approves of a policy which
outrages feelings of city and is
offensive to Italian dignity?"
