But, on page 1904 of the Congress

Congress, there is this statement,
made by Senator Paul o. Husting:
81 am authorized by the Secre-

that the administration does not
construe this bill as prohibiting
strikes and peaceful picketing and
will not so construe the bill, and
that the Department of Justice does

GOVERNMENT BROKE
PROMISE TO LABOR

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.--At a
mass meeting held under the aus
pieces of the Central Labor Union,
President Gompers presented docu-
mentary evidence to support the
charge that the Government broke
its promise to labor when the Lever
food control act was pending in
Congress, and that this legislation
was not intended to be used against
workers when they suspended work
to improve their conditions.
The evidence submitted by Presi-
dent Gompers included the follow
ing:
On June -, 1917, when the bill
was being discussed in the House,
Congressman Heating urged that
strikes be specifically exempted
Congressman Lever, author of the
bill said Congressional Record,
page 1896: "If there were such a
combination to strike for the pur-
pose of lettering living conditions
or increasing wages there is no pur-
pose in this bill, and there is no
authority in this bill, to prevent it. ="
The following day Congressman
Heating read into the Congression-
al Record page 4515l a statement
to Congressman Lever by the then
food administrator, Mr.. Hoover,
who said, in part 81 do not wish
to impose my views upon you, but
simply to suggest that as it is not

Italians and Poles, and by causing
the Serbians to have nothing to do
with the Croatian8 and Roumanians,
and by causing all other nationali-
ties thoroughly to distrust the
Americans, the desired results will
be brought about more quickly than
any other way"
The methods employed by these
thugs, who posed as labor con-
ciliators," seem satisfactory to bus
mess men who employed them, for
in page advertisement in local
newspapers the thugs plead not
guilty to the charges and say:
Sherman Service officials were
placed in deferred classification dur
ing the CONSUMPTION Cat the request
of their clientsl being considered as
essential to the maintenance of our
national interests"

The Administration Does Not
Construe This Bill as Pro-

Shortly before the United Mine
Workers issued their cancellation of
the strike order, in compliance with
Judge Anderson's injunction, Pres
ident Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, in a public
statement, said that labor had been
assured, prior to its passage, that

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Five taxi
loads of policemen and detectives,
directed by States Attorney Hoyne,
raided the offices of the Sherman
Service, arrested so people and con-
fiscated a mass of letters and docu-
ments. The Sherman Service adj
vertises itself as labor concilia-
tors" and has branch offices in New
York, Philadelphia, Toronto, st.
Louis, Cleveland, Detroit Boston
and New Haven.
Charges of a conspiracy to foment
race riots and other forms of vio-
lence, together with the wholesale
destruction of property as part of a
program to break the steel strike,
were made in a statement by the
States Attorney, whose attention
was first called to the Sherman out
fit by Edward Nockels, Secretary of
the Chicago Federation of Labor.
The States Attorney named the Illi-
nois Steel Company and the Steel
and Tube Company of America in
connection with the work of the
conspirators. The specific charge
against the detective agency is that
it employed sluggers to stir up trou-
bIa urbora CIV ict in orJar ~
bring about the use of Federal
troops.
According to the States Attorney,
r. V. Phillips, with the title of lad
visory director" had charge of the
thuggery. He directed the sluggers,
the smashing of windows, cutting Of
automobile tires, the burning of
buildings and the fomenting of ra-
cial prejudices among the strikers,
while protesting to engage in the
business of a conciliator.
The telephone wire to Phillips
luxurious home was tapped and con-
versations with the sluggers record
ed. In one instance Operator No.
155 reported to the Advisory Direct
or from South Chicago that he had
located a four-story wooden build
ing filled with lamp black.
Phillips replied: Il am glad you
are keeping your eyes open. That
would be a good place for fire"
Among the documents seized by
the police was a copy of this letter
forwarded on October 10 to C. A.
Stillman, assistant to the President
of the Steel and Tube Company of
America:

results about as soon as possible

PARIS LACKS COAL;
POOR SUFFERING

PARIS, Oct 31-Governmental. and
municipal authorities and coal mer-
chants virtually admit the impos-
sibility of finding a remedy for the
situation which has arisen here be-
cause OF the coal shortage. Although
cold weather has not yet really be-
gun, Paris is already feeling the
pinch and there is some suffering in
the poorer quarters of the city.
At a secret session, the municipal
council discussed the situation and
reached the conclusion that within a
few weeks coal win not be available,
not only for private houses, but also
for public utility services. RestrIc-
tions on gas and electric service as
well as travel over the metropolitan
railway probably will be ordered.
Coal stocks in Paris amount to ap-
proximately 10000 tons with only
1900 tons arriving daily. The city
needs 10000 tons per day in cold
weather.

war. were brought here by ]. IT.
Mackzum, Knights of Columbus

The films, which were designed for
exhibition by Germany on the dag
of its triumph, were. made by cam
era men on a submarine which was
commissioned to cruise about the
Irish sea and photograph merchant
vessels after they had been attacked
by undersea craft. The boat used
more than 10000 feet OF film.
1T was largely through the influ-
ence OF the present German govern
ment that the films came into my
possession" said Mr.. Mackzum, who
had charge OF the motion picture
work for the Knights OF Columbus in
France and Germany. During the
revolution, the admiralty office was
raided by the mobs and the canisters
containing the celluloid reels became
scattered about. At Coblenz I made
army officer, and he secured the
films from a revolutionary leader who
he knew possessed them"
