DOWN WITH THE RED FLAG,

Des Moines Capital: Senator New.
OF Indiana, is the author of a bill
which seeks 10 prohibit the display
of the red flag in the United States.
Senator New is a patriot and the
patriots making up the senate should
pass his bill
The socialists have no right. to a
special flag Red is not a good color
for a flag. In most countries il
stands for anarchy. The anarchists
OF the old world. when they come to
the United States must understand
that this country is already free. The
socialists Of the old world evidently
not in favor OF any kind of a
government, and when they come 10
the United States. where we have a
representative democracy. they con-
tinue to be against the government.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
The red flag is the banner Of
revolution. Its followers do not
deny that To the contrary. they
boast the fact. and under 1t they
often deny the authority and
power Of established law. The
RED lag represents no govern
ment in the world recognized by
civilized people. II stands, and
daily is being re-christened, as
the symbol OF peril that is close
~ akin to anarchy, or the anti
thesis Of all Just government. 1t
is the standard under which hos
tility to the republican form OF
government has been declared
and the doctrine which common
ly is preached under il is at en-
nifty VITA our national institI-
tons.

ROMANCE MARKS
EXPERIENCE OF
STORM VICTIMS
Wife Throws Away Only Life
belt to Die With
Husband.

Corpus Christi, Tex, Sept. 20
Romance and dramatic thrills, rival
ing tales of the movies" are found
in the experience of many OF last
Sundays storm survivors only now
being recounted as communication is
restored with points where they
were rescued.
There is romance and pathos, too,
in the passing of some Of the storm
victims, as in the case of the death
of Captain and Mrs. B. M. Egeland,
not far from the army rest camp
site, where Captain Egeland was in
command.
With two soldiers, Captain Ege-
land and his wife had started wading
through the rapidly rising water,
Mrs. Egeland wearing the only life
belt available, according to accounts
given by persons declared to have
been near.
Captain Egeland, when the water
got beyond their depth, was so ia
tigued he was unable to keep aAoat,
and seeing his plight, his wife threw
away her life preserver, placed her
arms about him and toge Their they
were swept out into the bay. Both
bodies have been recovered and two
officers left today for Sinton, Tex,
to disinter that of Mrs. Egeland,
which will be sent to her home in

been new ruling made by the man

taken in.
Best Of References.
He was told he would not be
rented an apartment in the St. Clare,
Twenty-third and Harvey streets,
for the same reason. In spite of the
lact that Mr.. Kamen gave the very
best of references and offered to
pay bonus and his rent IN advance,
his proposition was coldly refused.
Mr.. 'Kamen's efforts to obtain an
apartment in the building at Thirty
first and Mason streets. which is
owned by the Peters Trust COM
pany, met with the same result. The
only objection offered was to the
baby. Despite the fact he was told
that no children would be allowed
in the house, few days before Mr..
Kamen's application was rejected a

He was refused at the Drake Court
apartments, Twenty-second d
Jones streets. "We cannot be
bothered with children" was the
reply to the inquiry here. Asked
for further explanation, the mana
ger of the apartment declared that
the rule applied to the Drake Court
apartments because it was the COM
mon practice all over the city.
Mr.. Kamen declared in response
to the statement given out by C..
c. George to the effect there were
not 10 per cent of the apartment
houses of the city excluding chill
dren, that he knew to certainty
most of the first class apartments
excluded children. II know this as
a result of personal observation and
investigations" he said.

No Violence Promised
When Steel Men Strike

Chicago, Sept. 20.-With the ma
tion-wide strike of steel workers set
for Monday, officials of the steel
companies in the Chicago district
were completing plans tonight to
combat the strike, while the union
leaders renewed their pledge that
the strikers would not resort to vio-
lence.
Officials of the steel companies
were reticent regarding their plans,
but it was reported they were pre-
pared to open despite the. strike if
enough loyal employees responded to
the call already sent out.
The Wisconsin Steel company
plant at South Chicago, an indepen-
dent concern employing 1900 men,
was reported to have drawn its fires
today. Officials said the plant was
closed for repairs, but union work.
ers declared the closing was the
beginning of the strike. s
Union officials declare the tie-up
will be complete, while heads of the
steel companies say that not more
than Is per cent of the workers will
strike.
The first steel company to indi-
cate its readiness to negotiate with
the unions was the Interstate Iron
and Steel company, an independent
concern with three plants, employ
ing3,l00 men, union leaders re-
ported today.
Cheief of police Clarity an
nounced tonight that he had as

9'ANNUNzIO IS
GIVEN "a HOURS
TO LEAVE F|UME
UItimatum to Be Sent by
Allied Powers; Food
Supply to Last Three
Months.

Paris, Sept. 20.-Capt. Gabrielle
d'Annunzio may be given "a hours
to move his forces out Of Fiume,
upon which city squadron of al
lied warships have turned their
guns, according to advices received
here by way of Berlin, Laiback and
Vienna. II is indicated that this
ufimatum will come from the al
lied powers, representatives of
which are reported to have con-
ferred at Abbazia. about two miles
northwest of Fiume, to which place
they retired when Captain d'Annun-
zio entered the latter city.
Situation Complicated.
In peace conference circles it is
intimated that the settlement of the
question of the disposition of
Fiume has been complicated by the
d'Annunzio coup, but Italian dele
gates insist decision is being de-
layed because of the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson has not answered
definite proposals made by Italy's
representatives here. Americans
assert the Italians are constantly
changing the detail of their offer
and that for this reason answer has
so far been impossible.
Advices from Rome says the duke
of Aosta, close friend of Captain
d'Annunzio, has conferred with
King Victor Emmanuel and Pre-
mier Nitti, and it is suggested he
may act as mediator in an effort to
bring about an abandonment of
Fiume by the d'Annunzio forces.
Fiume Blockaded.
Fiurne is closely blockaded BY
land and sea. but there are stores
in the city sufficient to maintain
the people and troops for three
months. Captain d'Annunzio is re-
ported to have with him many MEM
bers of his famous aerial squadron
which fought on the Austrian front
during the war. The Italian gov
eminent, however, has ordered the
magnetos of airplanes at all ayia-
ton camps removed so that no
more machines may go to Fiume.

Mrs. r. D. Bercu, Oil North
Twentieth, is another victim of the
Omaha rent prohteers because she
has three children. They are Sadie,
IA years old, and Abe and Ben, IL
years old, twins. After searching
the city for 10 days for an apart
ment, she was unable to find
place in which the landlords would
permit her to take her three chill
dren. After living here for II
years, Mrs. Bercu has decided to
move away.
Her husband, who conducted a
grocery store on North Twentieth
street for years, died three months
ago. Mrs. Bercu sold the business
and her little home in the rear 10
days ago. For more than a week
she tramped the streets night and

where she would be permitted to
move her children. The same re-

after making a final attempt Thurs
day, walking the streets all day
through the driving rain. The last
person. to whom Mrs. Bercu applied
for an apartment was Philip Schlai-
fer, who owns the Dunsany, Tenth
and Pierce streets. Thinking that
surely she could get rooms in this
section of the city after all other eff
forts had failed, she answered an adj
vertisement. Everything was said to
be satisfactory to the landlord and
the deal was closed. The woman
was leaving when Schlaifer, who al
most had forgotten to inquire, put
the inevitable question. 1--WE can't
take any children" she was told
Mrs. Bercu gave up trying further
and decided to move to a city where
children would be permitted to have

ly. Secretary Foster said he did not
believe 20 per cent of the workers
voted not to strike.
Beyond the coming and going Of
organizers preparing for the hold
ing of mass meetings in all steel
communities tomorrow, there was
little information to be had at ma
tional labor quarters from points
outside the Pittsburgh district. Sec
rotary Foster said he had no reports
from other parts Of the country.
Despite all the preparations for
the strike by both sides there was
still faint hope in some quarters
that the conflict may yet be averted.
When this was brought to Mr..
Fosters attention, he shook his head
and said there was not a chance of
stopping the walkout. President
Wilson's name is still frequently
heard in the talk of possible inter-
vention.

to call on Chairman Haugen of the
house agricultural committee for
early action on the administration

I'VE are also just advised that the
Holly Sugar corporation of Califor-
MIA is placing the new crop of beet
sugar on the market at $11.50 per
hundred, against 50, which is the

This being a case of individual &C

take effective action in the matter
until the amendments are passed."
The amendments asked are delayed
by dispute between house and

tie, if any support being granted
them by Americans and by the bet
ter class OF workers of foreign de-
scent. In order that the people
and properties of this city may be
protected against violence or law
lessness which may result from the
formation of an unruly and un-
American mass Of people, 5000 of
the citizens of McKeesport have
voluntarily been sworn into office
as special police deputies.
A number OF organizers have been
arrested in McKeesport in recent
weeks for holding meetings with
out permits. Labor leaders say
they tried to get permits but were
REFUSED. A mass meeting is sched-
uled for McKeesport tomorrow. The
mayor said it cannot be held. w.
Z. Foster, secretary of the steel
workers national committee said it
would take place as scheduled.
Police Plans Laid.
Proclamations were issued by
various burgesses, but were confined
to the usual, legal form of calling
upon all citizens to keep the peace.
The Pittsburgh police authorities
have also laid plans to maintain or
der around the iron and steel mills
within the city limits.
A report was circulated today
that the United States Steel cor
poration was swearing in 10000 Of
its loyal employees as special guards
to protect property. Corporation
officials, following their custom, re-
fused to divulge what police ar
rangements they are making. 1t
was learned, however, that the sher-
iff of Allegheny county has had
deputy sheriffs at corporation steel
plants swearing in many loyal
workers to do guard duty.
The Jones and Laughlin Steel
company, second only in size to the
steel corporation in the Pittsburgh
district, had no information to give
out regarding its strike plans, be-
yond the mere statement that it will
continue to operate its works as
long as it can.
Two Plants Closed.
The plants of the Allegheny Steel
company at Breckenridge, near here,
were closed today to give their en-
ployes an opportunity to meet tand
decide whether they would strike. A
vote was taken and one report from
company sources said that 20 per
cent of the men decided to remain
at work. Another report had it that
the employees are about evenly d.
vided between Americans and for
eigners and that the Americans vot-
ed generally to continue at work,
while the foreigners voted opposite
