A WORKMAN'S TESTIMONY

n TEEL workers may accept the
~ testimony of Judge Gary with
doubt as that of a prejudiced
witness and the public will look
with suspicion on the radical views
OF Foster, the strike manager, as
expressed before the Senate COM
mittee at Washington, but both
sides must accept at face value the
statements of T. d. Davis. a roller in
the United States Steel Corporation
plant at New Castle. MIR. Davis is
not only n worker, but he proved
his patriotism by throwing up a job
that paid him s17 Il day at the out
set of the war TO go to France as
, a Y. NJ. G. \. secretary and he did
not return to the mills until af,ur
the war was over. one can bank
on what a man OF that type says
And here is his view of the strike
and the objects back of it:
We, of course, knew that a
sulke Was coming, Ior there was
evidence OF it ON all sides. In
some respects the evidcnce. 20
my mind, indicated conspiracy.
We would ask these men why
thcE We're gong out, and the!
would answer that they Were 60
ing cut in order to cripple the
mills--to para we them COM
pletely. as some of them put it
We asked. We'll. how do you en-
pect to accomplish this? and
the answer would generally be
that they wanted n closed shop.
Il shop from which the American
workmen would be excluded.
"4cu Americans" they would
say, will have to get new jobs 4
atter the unions get in" Some OF
them boastcd that after they wor
the strike they would do away
with bosses and that committees
would run the mills.
In other instances where men
did not want to quit work, and
we're forced to strike, we asked
them why they did not come back
TO work. l recall that one of the
men who worked with me. a
Greek, told me that he would re-
turn, only he was afraid because
he said that his wife had been
told that he would be killed II he
tried to go back to work.
Davis said that SO per cent. of the
strikers are foreigners, who look
upon Americans with suspicion, and
his testimony is amplified by two
other American workmen.
Every bit of evidence that has
come to the surface regarding con-
ditions in the Pittsburgh district is
that the strike was engineered by
aliens who are not striking for-any
purpose except the overthrow of the
American form OF government. That
Icing the case, there could be no
doubt of the failure of the effort
from the beginning. The American
public always has taken the side
of the striker when he was endeav-
oring to improve working condi-
tions or striving to get for himself
a living wage. But when foreigners
who are in this country simply TO
work their own ends against our
own American Government strike to
bring about a revolution they will
find public sympathy aroused against
them. We have no place in this
country for revolutionary aliens. If
they want to turn Bolshevik and
run amuck, let them go whence they
came. Americans have no patience
with them.

CLASHES REPORTED
 WITH THE GERMANS
CIVILIANS AND U. S. SOLDIERS SAID TO HAVE HAD TROUBLE
 IN SEVERAL INSTANCES.

Coblenz. - Hostility between the American soldiers and the German civilians in the occupied region, which has been increasing recently, has resulted in additional clashes during the last few days. In one iu- stance an American was killed and in other encounters in various parts of the occupied zone several Americans were wounded.
 At third army headquarters it was said that at least six Americans had been killed by civilians since the American troops reached the Rhine. German officials say, so far as their records go, the number of Germans killed by Americans in fights during the six months of occupation total no more than five.
 Incidentally, the Germans admit they ar6 keeping a record of the treatment of civilians by the Ameri cans, paying particular attention to encounters where the civilians con tended the soldiers were to blame.
 In Arzbach soldiers and civilians clashed one American being stabbed and German sustained fractured skull In other villages it was re- ported there had been fights, with an even number of soldiers and civilians injured
 The frequency of encounters has caused Gen. Liggett the third army commander, to order the military po- lice to take measures for preventing soldiers from attacking Germans. Special measures also have been or dered for dealing with Americans caught naltreating civilians
 Germans in instances are, insolent, and that they seize opportunities 10 waylay soldiers. There have been a few cases where a handful of Amer jeans left as a rear guard in viii lage after the division departed for home have been maltreated by Ger mans who outnumbered them.

WARNS AGAINST

SECRETARY OF LABOR WILSON ADDRESSES AMERICAN FEDE-
 RATION OF LABOR

Atlantic City, N. J.-Secretary of Labor Wilson, addressing the conven- ton of the American Federation oi Labor, counseled organized labor not to participate in the proposed nation al strike for the liberation of Thomas Mooney, convicted of complicity IT the San Francisco bomb plot He said the government was investigat- t. ing the evidence in the case in con, nection with the movement for a new trial for Mooney, and that working men could not properly constitute themselves jury to try him.
 Secretary Wilson also referred to the "Bolshevists of the United States" who, he said, were allied with the l. w. w, and for whom the work. ingmen of America had no sympathy whatever when they understood the Rolshevist creed. Bolshevism, the secretary said, essentially created ob- ligatory labor, or virtual slavery, and all workingmen had been fighting against slavery since the day of Mo ses.

SUFFRAGlSTS HAVE SENT LET TIERS TO LEGISLATORS ASKING
 IF THEY WILL SERVE.
MAY PAY ALL EXPENSES
Mrs. T. T. Gotham Intimates That Cost of Extra Session Will Not Be Allowed To Interfere With Ratifi-
 cation of Suffrage Amendment.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
 Letters to all members of the 1919 General Assembly have been mailed by the Arkansas Equal Suffrage Gen. fral Committee asking the legislators if they will be willing to come to Little Rock for a one-day special ses- sion to ratify the Susan B. Anthony equal suffrage amendment to the fed eraf constitution, it was said by Mrs T. T. Gotham, president of the committee.
 Arkansas was the first Southern state to grant equal suffrage and we sincerely hope that the members of the legislature will be willing to come here for one-day special ses- sion to ratify the federal amendment, so that Arkansas will be the first state in the South to ratify the fed eral amendment" Mrs. Gotham said.
 Mrs. Gotham and committee have requested Governor Brough to issue the call for a special session. Mrs. Gotham said that the only apparent reason for not calling the special ses- sion is that the state cannot afford the expense. To offset this, the sui fragists in two counties have start cd movement to raise sufficient funds to defray the expenses of their representatives. If the state is un- willing to bear the expenses, Mrs. Gotham said, the suffragists in all counties will pay the solons' cx- panses
 The letter asking the representa- fives to come to Little Rock to ratify the amendment also asks them if they would be willing to serve with out pay. as it probably would re- quire only one day to ratify tho amendment. The legisaltors under the law would be allowed only half pay. or SS per day, during a special session.
 The object in writing to the repre- sentatives, Mrs. Gotham said, is to ascertain their attitude.
 "Women in % states will have the right to vote in the next presidential election, regardless of whether tho national suffragist amendment is rat fled" Mrs. Gotham said. "and it is only fair and just that all states should have the opportunity to de- eide the question of ratification.

HONOR OF MAKING FIRST NON STOP FLIGHT GOES TO
 GREAT BRITAIN.
AMERICAN IS ONE OF CREW
Captain John AIcock and Lieut.. Ar thur W. Brown Win the Honors Flying Time 16 Hours and
 12 Minutes.

London. - Captain John Alcock, British, and Lieut.. Arthur W. Brown, American, in their Vickers- Vimy bi- plane landed at Clifden, Ireland. completing the first nonstop air flight across the Atlantic. Their trip from St. Johns, N. F., was made in 16 hours, 12 minutes.
 The landing was made at 9:40 o'clock, British summer time. In talk ing the ground the machine struck 1 heavily and the fuselage ploughed in- to the sand. Neither of the occu- pants was injured
 Much of the flight was made through a fog with an occasional drizzle. This hampered the airmen considerably during their journey.
 Alcock and Brown stood the trip we'll
 The flight of the Vickers-Vimy bi- plane across the Atlantic was one of three recent notable and daring achievements by airmen.
 To Captain Alcock and Lieutenant Brown goes the honor of having made the first nonstop air passage of the Atlantic, the achievement going to the credit of Great Britain
 The Atlantic had already been spanned in an air journey, however, the feat having been performed by American naval officers in the sea plane NC-4, with a stop at the Azores en route from Newfoundland to Lis bon, Portugal, the journey beginning May 16 and ending May 27.
 Less successful, but no less daring than the achievement of the VicKers- Vimy pilot and navigator, was the recent flight by two other British airmen, Harry G. Hawker and Lieut.. Commander Mackenzie Grieve. On May 19 they covered more than half the distance across the Atlantic be- fore being forced to alight in mid- ocean. For nearly week they were given up for lost, but finally turned up safe on board small craft, which took them almost to Ireland before the news of their dramatic rescue was relayed ashore by British de- stroyer.
