Just after midnight I was going
up the Friedrichstrasse," says this
eye witness, when I came across
four or five German soldiers, two Of
whom were drunk. Two French
men were coming from Oranien
burgdorf in the opposite. They had
walked past the group of German
soldiers without uttering word or
making a gesture, when one Of the
Germans rushed upon the French
men and struck one of them in the
back saying, Take that, you swine.
A crowd gathered Immediately and
the wounded man took refuge in a
hotel. tried to appease the drunk

abuse and threats and started run
ming after the Frenchman."
Other accounts corroborate this
statement. One says the victims

Mount Clemens, Mich. July H.
Henry Ford's fourth day on the
witness stand in his 100000 1ibel
suit against the Chicago Daily Tri-
bune was much like Wednesday in
subject matter and in the prolonged
multiplying of questions to obtain
specific answers.
Scattered through his testimony ii
appeared that Mr.. Ford ascribed the
world war to variety of causes in
cluding bankers, munitions makers,
alcoholic drink, kings and their
henchmen, and school books. John
Reed, a magazine writer of New
York and recent Russian bolshevik
emissary to the United States, dis
closed the alleged facts in an article
published in 1916. !
Reed, in his story, said he re-
minded Mr.. Ford, who opposed
drink, that the French and Germans
prosper on wine and beer.

Dry Forces Vote Down in
House Every Attempt to
Eliminate Drastic Provisions
of Enforcement Measure.
SHUT OFF DEBATE
AT LEADERS, WORD
Violent Protest of Minority
Capped Every Time; Amend
meM> to Strike Out Fine for
Violations Is Defeated.

Washington, July 17.-Prohibi-
ton forces voted down in the house
every attempt to eliminate drastic
provisions of the general enforce
ment bill and while in full and abso-
lutte control shut off debate at the
word of their leader despite the
violent protest of the minority.
When they had raced through the
wartime enforcement portion of
the three part bill and got into the
constitutional prohibition measure,
proper, there were only 68 members
on the floor and so much confusion
that a speaker could not make him
self heard. 1t was 7 o'clock when
the long roll call to obtain a quorum
was started and members then had
gone home, after declaring there
was no good reason for trying to
force through a bill to take care of
situa ton that would not arise until
January.
Fought OFF Every Attack.
Before the house got into a
snarl, however, the prohibition fac
ton had fought off every attack on
their bill. An amendment to strike
out the minimum fine for those
convicted of violating the wartime
act was fought over and defeated,
6S to 81. This was offered by Rep
resentative Reavis, republican, Ne
braska, prohibition member of the
judiciary committee. Chairman Vol
stead, of the judiciary committee
and patron of the bill, presented an
amendment which was adopted
without debate and which made the
measure a bit more drastic in that
it added the word "manufacture" to
the many things man may not do
with liquor in his Office or home.
For a brief moment late in the
day the minority-described by the
prohibitionists as the "wets" s.
swung into power only to be
thrown out by demand for tellers,
which meant an accurate count on
vote to amend the bill so that
person charged with violating
liquor selling injunction might de-
mand and obtain a trial by jury.
, Provoked Hours Debate.
This motion, offered by Repre-
sentative Gard, Ohio, and warmly
supported by former Speaker Clark,
had provoked an hours debate
which was bitter at times, when the
house put on the lid and started to
vote. There was a noisy shout from
the ayes, who appeared to have won.
Instantly there was demand for
division and after members had been
counted the result was announced
ayes, 20; nays, &c.
The victory was not expected.

they could not have won except
before the large number of absen-

GARMENT WORKERS
MOST FRUITFUL FIELD
European and South American
Unions Urged to Join Scheme

New York, July l7.-James P.
Holland, president of the New York
State Federation of Labor, testify
ing before the joint legislative COM
mittee investigating radical and sedi-
tious activities in this state, declared
that the |. w. w. had organized
many thousands of workers through
out the country on a platform which
included plank calling for the de-

radical organization, Mr.. Holland
asserted, was the Amalgamated Gar
ment Workers of America, with a
membership which he estimated at
10000.
Urge Revolution.
As an evidence OF the wide sweep
ing plans of the I. w. w. letters
were read into the testimony in
which I. w. w. leaders urged Eu-
ropean and South American workers
to Join in scheme for an inter
national revolutionary industrial
union" One of the most ambitious
ideas was the organization of the
marine workers of the two Americas
and the maritime European countries
into "one big union"
The most fruitful field found by
the radicals in this country, accord
ing to Mr.. Holland, has been the
carmen. industry, the second great
est industry in the United States.
Asked what were the principles OF
the organization formed by the l.
w. w. among the garment workers,
Mr.. Holland replied:
Against Government.
"They don't believe in govern
ment. They preach that behind
closed doors now and some of them
preach it out of doors"
The witness was then asked If 1t
eve- had been brought to his at
tention that the Amalgamated Gar
ment Workers favored soviet form
of government.

my attention but it has been rammed
down my throat" replied Mr.. Hol-
land. But the majority of the
workInen and working women are

some would have us believe"

He indicated that the present
