UNSCRUPULOUs PERSONS
AFTER LIBERTY BONDS

There follows a statement hy
Secretary Glass on a matter that is
fast assuming the proportions Of a
public scandal.
My attention has been directed
TO the activities Of Inscriptions
persons who have been operating
extensively throughout the country
and who are. sw.ndling the owners
% Liberty bonds at prices far below
their actual worth.
These swindlers get the attention
Of the Liberty bond owners by pub
fishing advertisements calculated To
make the unsuspccting bond owner
believe that the highest market
price can be secured for his bonds
through the agency Of the adver-
tiser. Such is rarely. II ever. the
case. Records Of transactions Of this
character, brought 10 the attention
Of the Department of Justice and
the Treasury department. prove
conclusively that these swindlers
take every advantage Of bond own
ers who are forced into their
clutches by paying the lowest pos
sible price which the owner will
accept-and generally far below the
actual value Of the bonds.
Owners Of Liberty bonds and
war saving stamps should in no cir
cumstances part with these securi-
ties unless necessity compcls, aud
then they should deal only with
reliable banks. trust companies.
banking institutions and others
whose reputation for integrity is
beyond question.
THE Treasury department will
welcome information concerning the
operations Of these swindlers in any
part Of the country-Carter Glass,
Secretary OF the Treasury"

war time agreement of April. 1915, is
still in force. and the extent of authority
vested in the miners delegates to
negotiate new scale. Although the
debate at times was Leated. there was
no indication of break in the negotia-

it was with an agreement to meet to-

The issues were raised in the first
response of the operators to the demands
of the miners for 60 per cent increase
in wages and shorter hours and came
before the Joint conference In state
ment signed by Thomas 7. Brewster,
executive chairman of the operators.
The statement characterized the miners
demands as radically extravigant and
manifestly impossible of acceptance"
Lewis Protests Summary Stand.
John T. Lewis, acting president of the
United Mine Workers. replied to the
operators statement. He protested
against summary sweeping aside Of
the detailed demands of the miners and
urged that they be considered one by

ENHANCEMENT of this country in Euro

Idaho, declared Americas fundamental
principles and institutions were being
attacked, both from the top and the
bottom Of society.
DepIoring lawlessness. as evidenced in
lynchings, bomb outrages and seditious
propaganda, Senator Borah declared that
persons In responsible positions also
were agitating doctrines which he re-
garded as inimical to American institu-

Senator Borah called attention to an

the United States Steel corporation, that

Senator Borah said he was perfectly
aware its membership included thousands
of loyal and patriotic Americans, hut
that they were leaving it faster than they
ioined some months ago. He challenged
anybody to cite one paragraph from the
leagues literature that appealed for
American institutions.
Calling President Lowell Of Harvard,
by name, Senator Borah declared his
views were not calculated to arouse en-
thusiasm for American traditions and
American history. Senator Hitchcock,
democrat, Nebraska, denied that DR..
Lowell was un-Amerlcan and declared
his attitude was not correctly stated.
