HARMONY" IS THE WORD.

"Wickersham predicts a sweeping Republican victory at the presiden- tial election in 1920. He plans to reorganize the Republican party in Alaska while in the territory. He has already discussed the matter with Republican members of the AL aska legislative assembly and har- mony prevails. In the reorganiza- tion of the party in Alaska, the old Shackleford crowd will be entirely eliminated Photographic Dispatch.
 Wickersham and harmony" lis- tens good, says the Valdez Miner, but if Wickersham is in earnest about reorganizing the party and there is to be any harmony, the party will be composed solely and alone of James Wickersham.

HUN PRISONERS TRY ID ESCAPE;;
 ATTEMPT FAILS

SYDNEY. Australia - Several hundred Germans and Austrians made an attempt 10 escape by tun- neling from the Holdsworthy con centration camp here recently, ip order to foil the purpose of the Australian authorities to send them back to Germany and Austria.
 The military authorities had pre- viously notified the interned leu tons that they were soon to be re- turned to their native countries. Shortly before they were to be taken out of the internment camp. the authorities discovered a tunnel 150 feet long, which led from one of the barracks underneath the fence enclosing the camp, and thence to the surface outside. The tunnel was
 the work of 15O men and apparent ly was begun as soon as the prison CTS received warning of the inten- tion to send them home. They had planned to break free from the camp on the night before the sail i ing of the steamer for England.
 Earth removed from the tunnel had been so distributed around the
 camp that it was not noticed until
 the tunnel was almost completed. When the tunnel was discovered the
 Germans made hostile demonstra-
 tion, but the guards suppressed it.
 The prisoners watched with chagrin the filling in of the tunnel.

COSTS IN CANADA.

The Canadian minister of labor recently admitted that the cost of living in Canada has doubled during the past four years, and he admitted that this was one of the chief causes of the present unrest; but he had no remedy whatever for the evil, save to increase production. Bu. just why a farmer should double his output of butter, comments the Christian Guardian, when ne can now secure as much for one pound as he could then for two, is not very clear. And just how increase of production would affect the retail CTS selling a S6 shoe for SIP, the average reader will fail to under stand. One thing only is clear, that, so far as the honorable minister of labor is concerned. he has no remedy for the present conditions: and this one fact will do not little to in tensify the present unrest.

FARMERS AND THE LEAGUE.

Several hundred Oranges and oth- CT agricultural organizations have adopted resolutions approving the League of Nations covenant and urging its ratification.
 But of even greater significance, perhaps, says the Chicago Post, is the result of a canvass of 66 farm papers, representing constituency covering F states. Of these 66 pa- pers no less than @ answered a questionnaire, issued by the League to Enforce Peace. with an unquali- fled declaration in favor of the COW enant as it now stands. Two gave conditional approval. One was non- committal, and only one-a Tennes- see publication-was absolutely op- posed. > :
 The farm periodicals are close to the prevailing sentiment of the com munities they serve. Many editors wrote that their support of the cov- enant voiced the convictions of an overwhelming majority of their sub- scribers.
 The workers and the farmers are behind the League of Nations. When that fact is fully realized in Wash ington the effect will be apparent in the attitude of those senators not too inextricably committed to oppo- sition.

BANDITS MAKE
 MUCH TROUBLE IN HE SOUTH

LAREDO, Tex. - Withdrawal of troops from bandit-infested regions in Central and Southern Mexico to campaign against Villa in the North has led to a new wave of train wrecking and railway destruction in that republic, according to stories printed by Mexico City papers re- .ceived in this city.
 The most striking feat of the reb- els was the capture of a train from Mexico City to Puebla at point only a few miles from the latter city by the forces of the former fed eral general, Cirilo Arenas, who re- volted about a year ago. One hun dred of the several hundred pass engers were seized as hostages. among them an American, Charles Chapman. They were driven for hours on foot, over rocky trails, to the headquarters of the rebel chief tain. Later they were released with out being held for ransom and made their way safely to Puebla. The bandits loot is estimated at 100000 pesos.
 This followed close on the heels of the capture of six well-known residents of Mexico City a. picnic resort known as the Desert of the Lions, not more than a dozen miles from the capital. The captors, for mer followers of Zapata, sent the women of the party back to Mexico City for a ransom of 2,4o0 pesos, and released their captives when the money was delivered.
 More than one hundred followers of Pedro Gabay are reported to have been killed when federal forces recaptured the town of Chocoman, state of Vera Cruz.
 The Excelsior tells of the murder by bandits of the millionaire, En- rique Langenschein, son of the Ger man consul at Guanajuato. Langen- schein met his death at the hands of rebels fleeing from Michoacan into Jalisco, who caught him on his ranch near Lake Chapala.

FIGHTING THE COST ACCOUNTS

Strikes are and will be an inn
 portant feature in American busi-
 ness until war upheaval and war unrest have quieted down somewhat, remarks the editor of Golfers in a recent issue of that periodical. Most strikes of any public importance are against corporation employers rath- CT than individuals. A basic trou- ble is that the going on of any large enterprise tends to sort out the workers into smaller group whose efforts are personally valued and a much greater group whose ac- tivities are judged rather in the mass. The effort to keep track of the exact cost of the services or articles which the company turns out makes the bulk of wages come to be regarded as an impersonal cost element. It is the business of the leaders to keep cost down, and this sometimes is, and more often is thought to be, the same thing as keeping wages down. In reality ii is not. What must be kept down is the cost per unit of whatever is made, and brains can lower that while raising wages. The United States is great industrially because this is so often done here. Never

Craig Must Face
Judge Mayer on
Contempt Charge
Court Holds Comptroller
Overstepped ssPrivilege"
in Criticizing Its Atti.
tude in Traction Cases

In an opinion handed down yester-
day by Judge Julius M. Mayer, Comp
troller Charles L. Craig was ordered
to appear in the Federal District
Court on December 20 to answer the
contempt proceedings brought against
him.
The proceedings were caused by
letter Mr.. Craig wrote in October to
Public Service Commissioner Nixon, in
which he criticized Judge Mayors atti-
tude toward certain traction companies.
Mr.. Craig failed to appear in court
at both the hearings before Judge
Mayer. His attorney, Edmund L..
Mooney, explained that the Comptrol
lcr's presence would constitute an ad-
mission Of the courts jurisdiction,
which the defendant had questioned.
Judge Mayors opinion states that it
is plain from the facts of the informa-
tion that the act complained of, in so
far as it caused the publication of the
letter in various newspapers, was not
an act protected by any privilege which
the defendant may claim to have.
ut is, apparently, the settled pro-
cedure," the statement says, "that the
issue as to the privilege cannot be
raised by an objection to jurisd iction
OF the person. The question raised by
counsel for defendant, as we'll as other
questions referred to upon the oral
argument, may be appropriately con-
sldered by demurrer, plea or such
other method as defendant may be az
vised, when in orderly course the de-
fendant shall have submitted to the
jurisdiction of the court.
IF the defendant entertains the
view that the challenge to the juris-
diction may be waived by such ap-
pearance, then the court will grant
the motion of the United States Dis
trict Attorney for the issuance of an
attachment of the body of the de-
fendant
"In order to allow the defendant full
opportunity to determine what course
he shall pursue, the court sets down
December 20, 1919, for the appearance
of the defendant and will not issue the
attachment unless at that time de
fendant shall have failed to appear

Boycott Cuts Tree Price
Chicagoans Refuse to Pay High
Toll for Eyeroreens

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Christmas trees
to-day sold for as little as five cents
take your pick" in some places, and
the price ranged up to s1.65. with the
evergreens still drug on the market.
Reluctance Of local representatives of
Santa Claus to pay the SO first de-
manded not only had driven down the
price, but resulted in 10000 trees be-
ing distributed free and an additional
twenty-five carloads being offered TO-
day.
dealers had their trees here in
plenty of time, but retailers found the
people remembered last years high
prices and were not buying" said B.
A. Little, assistant general claim agent
Of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail
road, in explaining why nearly score
of carloads of trees were not accepted
by the consignees. "The firms kept
holding the supply on the tracks wait
ing for higher prices. The higher prices
did not show up, and with freight
amounting to nearly 500 a day and de-
murragc mounting, the wholesalers re-
fused to accept the shipments"

Strike Secrecy Caused
Boston Riot, Curtis Says

BOSTON, Dec. 23.-Police Commits
sioner Edwin D. Curtis, discussing the
recent police strike publicly for the
first time in his annual report to the
Governor, to-day said he refused to ac.
cept a proposed plan of averting the
walk-out of September 9 because it
involved "a revulsion to the state of
divided responsibility, vacllatlng policy
and dilatory action" which, he said,
caused reorganization Of the depart
ment some years ago.
Commiss oner Curtis explained the
absence of troops on the streets the
night the policemen struck, when there
were disorders, as due to shortcom-
ings of the law providing for military
protection and to the fact that he had
been given no notice that the men in
tended to strike.
"The secrecy Of the proceedings on
the part of the men and the frequently
reiterated statement that the word
strike had never been mentioned made
it impossible to have the troops on the
scene before they actually got there
he said.
"A cali can be made only when the
riot or tdmult is in existence or threat
ened, and it was not intended by the
perpetrator and betrayer of duty that
there should be any notice given or any
time for preparation for the emer-
gency.
"The disorder that came that night
was planned and intended in order that
the city might be so terrorized that a
demand would come to recall the faith
less officers on their own terms.
"At the present time, when there is
more or less talk about the men having
been punished enough, it must be re-
membered that the men themselves
still cling to their organization, show
no indication of giving up their af-
filiation, and are doing everything in
their power to prevent the recruiting
of loyal police force and to SOW the
seeds of disloyalty among the men who
are now being taken"

Dry Wave at Sea
Hits All Vessels
Flying U. S. Flag
Shipping Board Chairman
Rules Liquor May Not
Be Sold Inside or
Outside Three-Mile Limit

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-Chairman
Payne, OF the United States Shipping
Board, announced to-day that vessels
under the control Of the board cannot
have liquor on board for sale either
without or within the three nile
limit. The chairman's announcement
will dash the hopes of Americans who
had visions of spending the holiday
season on excursions on the high seas
with all the wet trimmings that used
to mark the season on land.
AS the Shipping Board has absolute
authority over the vessels it controls
there is little likelihood that Judge
payne.'s position can be reversed. The
American government also can regulate
the sale of liquors on the ships of
other nations within the three-mile
limit. If any effort is made to pre-
vent such sale the question probably
VIII be decided ultimately by the State
Department.
The first order forbidding the sale
of intoxicating liquor on Shipping
Board boats was issued to-day it ap-
piled that restriction to ships plying
between New York and South America
One OF these vessels, the Moccasin, will
sail from New York Saturday.
Whether serving wine with meals
will be violation of the order has
not yet been decided, but ruling on
this point is expected soon.
In reference to the expectation of
intoxicating liquor, Shipping Board Of
ticials said to-day that no applications
for vessels for that purpose mad been
received. Shipments of liquor, it was
asserted, would be accepted as long as
it was legal to do so. However, Off
clals said, no preparations are being
expectations.

8,0O0,O 900 Pounds of
Zoe Sugar Ready
For Release Here
Public Must Realize That
EARLY Arrival Is Cause
of High Price of Cuban
Crop, Says Board Official

Tho United States Sugar Equaliza-
tion Board agreed yesterday to the re-
lease Of more than 100000 pounds Of
Cuban sugar Of tho 1920 crop at 20
cents q pound to the consumer. The
permission was granted unoff1cially,
following q conference between EN-
manuel Rionda, of the Czarnikow
Rionda Company. the Arm which is
bringing in the sugar, and officials Of
the Sugar Board. The sugar arrived
here yesterday.
The Sugar Equalization Board Off
cials declared that unless the public
comes to realize that this sugar
brought here before 1t would normally
arrive is far more expensive. sugar
merchants will seek other markets, to
avoid being classed as profiteers. It
was said that foreign governments are
keenly desirous of obtaining large
! quantities Of sugar and that they are
not hesitating to offer unusually high
prices. Sugar of the 1920 crop shipped
now, it was said, represents a greater
outlay for production because its
growth and harvesting were expedited
to aid in meeting the shortage.
"The sale Of this newly arrived sugar
at ~ cents pound TO consumers" an
official Of the Board said yesterday,
"does not represent the least sugges-
tion of profiteering. This sugar cost
1876 cents fob. Cuba. The spread of
6.5 cents can be easily justified Last
year the, spread between the price to
the grower and the price paid by the
consumer was 5.5 cents. The addition
of one cent is due to the fact that ten
pounds in every one hundred of raw
sugar is lost in the refining process
This loss cost IS cents for each hun
dred pounds last year. This year it
cost $1.35."
He declared that the twenty-cent
price would not be permanent. There
will be a gradual decline in the price
of raw sugar, he predicted, until about
Aps wnen nent IT sStan wt cost mr. nne cents or
