NEW WORKERS BLAMED
Success of Bolshevill Movement Tn Russia Attributed to Aid From Inco- pie In Lower East Side.

Washington, Feb. 12.--Success of the Bolsbevik movement in Russia was attributed to aid from the lower east side of New York by Rev. G. 4. Simons, former head of the Methodist Episcopal church in Russia, testifying today at the senate judiciary sub committees inquiry into laWless agi- tation in the United States.
 The witness also said the predomi- mating influence on Bolshevist prOpa- ganda here was the Yiddish element of the east side. He explained that he was not in sympathy with any alti-Semetic movement and that in stating his views he meant to cast no reflection on Jewish people in general
 Immediately after the Kerenshy revolution in 1917, pr. Simons said. sentiment in Russia was pro-Ally, but within a few months. when the Bolshevil movement developed, d strong pro-Gerlnan current developed, with more than half the agitators Jews, including many from New Crk.

Steel and Pig
 Iron Markets
New York, Feb. 12.
The From Age says:

The From Age says:
 Further cutting of prices is now be- ing admitted by producers as neces- sary to kindIe the interest of buyers. The conclusion reached is that lack of important inquiry in the past nine weeks of open market conditions is in prices too high to encourage barter. How to get labor to recognize it's part in the adjustment is the problem.
 The low total of the present inflow of emergency orders points to shut downs here and there in two or three months time. In the severity of such happenings, a rewriting of costs would be possible. Whether the trade con- ferences proposed by the secretary of commerce could before then develop understandings looking to establishing prices likely to attract depends largely on securing official sanction and the broad cooperation of the manufac- turers and the steel workers.
 Meanwhile the buying clements need to remember that the country is proceeding on the theory that it is no longer an isolated nation. Fixed iron and steel export prices of England, it's
 
 kets, are anywhere up to 40 per cent. higher than it's own, and only rela- lively slight shifts in ocean freight charges will serve to throw the advan- tage to these shores. Foreign trade requires little concession, so long as England's costs do not come down.
 A sale of 4,00o tons of pig iron is noted for export and Cleveland reports
 
 On 300 tons a cut of $180 from S31 per ton was made by an Eastern fur mace, but 5000 tons for. Italy was with drawn on the price account. The dis tricting of furnaces instituted in the period of government operation for equalization of selling opportunity is passing out and the old order is being restored.
 The demand of the autom obile trade is the outstanding feature of the do- mestic market. Sheet mills are run ming at 75 per cent. of capacity and mostly for motor cars and trucks. Some of the alloy steel makers are booked full for six weeks, though the early January operations were only 25 per cent. of capacity.
 Steel ingot production for January. as estimated by the American Iron and Steel Institute, was 3,0S2,427 tons, or 10000 tons more than December
 Some test of market ideas will be made on February IS, when bids will be received against a Navy inquiry for 16, 900 tons of material, mostly plates and shapes. Surprise Is shown over 8 request from the Navy for 20, 900 kegs of wire nails. as the War department is supposed to have on hand 160,0 kegs A large Detroit truck maker is also sounding the market on bar and structural mill products to the extent of 15,000 tons.
 Surplus production of coke, because of curtailed furnace and foundry op- erations and the need of moving it, has resulted in cuts of 75c and $1 per ton, prompt furnace coke selling at $4.25.

WAR REVENUE BILL
Less Than Dozen Senators Present When Discussion is opened By Sen ator Penrose, Republican Leader.
Senator's Present

Washington, Feb. 12.-Less than a dozen senators attended today's open ing discussion of the war revenue bill, which was begun by Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, ranking republican of the senate managers.
 Addition of ''riders'' to the measure designed to effect social or economic reforms was especially criticized by Senator Penrose. Naming the pro- visions to levy one hundred per cent. taxes on campaign contributions, which was eliminated by the confer ees, the 'bone dry prohibition amendment affecting the District of Colum bia, the child labor clause and the special tax on pistols, Senator Penrose said the rules should be changed to prevent the practice of adding unrelated matters to revenue legislation.
 T am ready to legislate to regulate campaign expenditures" Mr. Penrose added, "and nearly to the point of forbidding them entirely. The cleo torate today is intelligent, and no campaign can be won that does not make an appeal to their reason.'

Washington, Feb. 12-Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, speaking be- fore the senate banking committee, which is considering the renomnation of John Skelton Williams as comp troller of the treasury, in support of his bill abolishing the office of the comptroller and vesting it's powers in the federal reserve board.

Paris, Feb. 12 (Havas) )-Belgium' claims, presented to the supreme peace council yesterday, included de- manu for the return to Belgium of some. territory held by Germany in addition to requests for free naviga- tion of the Scheldt and the restitution of certain territory held by the Dutch.

KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES.
By the National woman's
Christian Temperance Union)

From the Emergency Fleet News we
learn that the Coast Shlpbuilding com.
pany of Portland, Ore. has started a
new fashion In the ceremony Of launch
Ing. ii. II. Pennell, president of tho
company tells the story thus:
"When about TO launch the 'Cabura.
the first Of this month, we bethought
ourselves of the waste connected with
the following OF the tlme-honored Gus.
tom Of christening new ship by
breaking bottle OF wine across her
bows. and although we would advocate
nothing to detract from the pleasure
and satisfaction Of putting good new
ship into the water, we thought at this
particular time IL would be more ap-
propriate to utilize the money usually
spent for ships christening for the
purpose OF aiding the distrcsses of the
dependent children of French and Bel.
ginns, and, instead of bedecking the
ship with ribbons and smashing the
customary bottle OF wine, we took the
stand which has been placed in the
gateway Of our yard. containing a
biotttu iuiih DOttie lutO WHICH our ell
ployees drop from time to time pennies
and small change for these dependent
children, placed It on the stand at the
bow Of the ship, attached n substantial
piece OF iIoney to a small ribbon,
placed this money inside of the bottle
and drew the ribbon through the slot
and tacked 1t to the bow of the ship.
"The young lady who was chosen
sponsor for this launching, instead Of
breaking the bottle Of wine when the
ship started to move. cut the ribbon,
which, fguratively speaking, releases
the ship from Its attachment 60 the
land. and while she sped upon her way
to aid our men at the battle front.
she left behind her as an omen of good
luck and Godspeed bit Of substan-
,ial good cheer TO those who have been
left to suffer while their parents had
gone forth In their protection, as well
as the country for which they were
Offering their all.
"We are mentioning this circum.
stance thinking 1t might be of. nate
rial help In the raising Of funds for
the care Of these dependent children,
IL the builders of ships generally saw
fit TO adopt this during the war period
as u universal custom"
