5 Longshore
Locals Vote
To End Strike
10 Return to Work To-day:
1nsurgent Faction Is
Willing to Go Back for
85 Gents an Hour

Striking longshoremen Of five locals

voted unanimously yesterday to re
turn to work at T O'Clock this morn
ing.
A committee that conferred with
the shipping interests reported the
shlpoWners would grant no further in
crcases, hence advised the men to re-
turn to work until December [, when
the National Adjustment Commission
would reopen their case.
The return Of the Chelsea lockers
was taken by marine men to indicate
collapse Of the walk-out which has
tied up shipping since October 8. The
end of the entire trouble is expected
by Monday.
The insurgent faction, at meeting
with the Cancellation Commission
headed by the Mayor, at City Hall last
night, proposed that if the shpowners
would agree to give the strikers S5
cents an hour and $1.25 fo" overtime,
beginning December /, the men would
go back to work at once. When Mayor

dent Of the International Mercantile
Marine, Mr.. Toppin replied he didn't
have the authority to accept any offer
The Mayor then advised the men that
as he was unable to do anything with
the shipping people they should re-
turn to work until December !. When
told that strikebreakers were getting
from S5 cents to 81 an hour and 81 for
overtime he said he would investigate
the report.
Richard j. Butler. leader Of the in
surgents, was arrested YESTERDAY on a
charge of disorderly conduct when he

that about 5000 men were back at

Beware L. S..
Says Hollwe 9
Protest Against tnderesti~
mating America if She
Entered the War Failed
After Hindenburg's Plea

BERLIN, Oct. 81 (By The Associated
Press Won Bethmam IIollweg, Ger
man Chancellor during the greater
part of the war, spent nearly two
hours in the witness chair to-day be-
fore the National Assembly sub-com-
mittee which is Investigating what had
been the possibilities for bringing
about peace during the war.
The former Chancellor said he
sharply condemned the submarine war
fare. but admitted the influence of Ad-
miral Won Tirpltz, General Luderdorf
and Field Marshal Won Hindenburg was
so strong that the German people were
absolutely convinced of its justitica-
tion and followed their generals
blindIy.
His voice almost broke with emotion
as he related his respons ibility to the
people at home and the soldiers in the
the submarine war, he said, General
Ludendortf telegraphed the Foreign
Office after an inspection of the West
front and Won Hindenburg wired that
Germany would lose the campaign and
that she must nave the submarine
war.
Confident of Handling United States
1t was considered finally, according
to the FORMER Chancellor, that even
America. should she enter the war,
could be handled, and the army au-
thorties threw down the gauntlet to
political figures who opposed the sub
marine campaign.
Warnings not to underestimate
America, which the former Chancellor
said he issued, failed Of their pur-
pose because, he declared. intense
hatred Of America ruled solidly in all
political circles owing 10 the delivery
of ammunition to the Entente by the
United States.
The committee requested answers
from Dr.. Won Bethmann- Holweg. who
was Chancellor when the war began
and held Office until July Ii, 1917, TO
the following three questions:
First Why did the Central Powers
make their peace offer on December 10,
1916, when action by President Wilson
for peace had been suggested by Ger
many and certain prospect of such
action was held out, at the latest, for
the end Of December?
Conditions Of Peace
Second Why were concrete peace
conditions not communicated to Presi-
dent Wilson?
Third Why, instead of pursuing
the idea of action toward peace by
President Wilson, did Germany assent
to ruthless submarine warfare if she
knew it would lead TO war with the
United States"
DR.. Won Nolweg acknowl-
edged that the facts established in the
course of the proceedings were correct

Sausage Workers
Strike Shuts Shop
Boisheristic'' Demands
OuId Raise Drivers to
S245 Il Week. 'Tiis Said

Bolshevism has invaded the ranks
of bologna artisans and has inspired
them to aim blow at the foundation
Of the sausage industry, Adolph Gobel,
provision merchant, announced yester-
day. Mr. Gobei's plant in Brooklyn
closed its doors yesterday when 500
employees went on strike. The strikers
are composed of those who prepare the
pelts in which bolognas make their ap-
pearance in the world and those who
fill the skins after they have been pre-
pared.
The men demand the closed shop.
Rather than give in Mr.. Gobel closed
his shop himself
Officials of the company said they
were willing to grant any reasonable
demands to the strikers But these.

to work until the drivers of the COM
pany and the outside salesmen
men, officials say, don't want to or
ganize. 50 the plant has been shut
down.
In lengthy statement, Mr.. G0bel
charged that the detection Of the
bologna craftsmen was the first step
in a plot to take over the plant and
run it for the benefit OF the workers.
"Preposterous as it may seem,' he
said. the present strike in my plant,
if yielded to its demands, would
mean that my drivers would receive up
to S245 90 a week. To their credit, they
fully realize the folly of these demands
and are opposed to them.
"Other details of the strike are just
as impossible of consideration and I
have determined. therefore. in the in
terest of sound citizenship to close my
plant until such time as its operations
are no longer dictated by Bolshevist

Museum Of Plants.

In the United States botanic garden
in the national capital, one may see
all the flowers from all parts Of the
earth, as well as every tree from every
part of this great globe. There are In
teresting legends concerning trees that
are found there. Eminent men In the
course of the history of the institu-
ton planted trees there.
Charles A. Dana, the great editor, car
ried an acorn from the grave of Con-
fucius and planted it there. One will
find beautiful acacia, "that plant Of
deep root" planted there by General
Grant. Two cedars Of Lebanon. whose
ancestors furnished timbers for King
Solomon's temple, were planted and
thrive there, placed by Senators Hoar
and Evarts.
Standing In triangular position are
the trees Of the tragedians," Edwin
Booth, Edwin Forrest, and John Wilkes
Booth. Each selected the bald, or wa
ter cypress for his planting. Over in
the eastern part of the garden is the
famous hornbeam. 1t covers one-tenth
of an acre of ground. 1t was planted
by Abraham Lincoln.

Queer Burial Custom.

Among the Indians of Alaska liv-
ing along the rock-boukd coast Of the
Bering sea many old customs prevail.
and it is still believed that when a
man dies he must pass forward
through four successive stages before
he reaches heaven. Thus his mourn
ers and family must spend four days
and nights ia chanting songs or tell
ing of his virtues and must eat only
the foods of which he was fond. At
the end of that time the body of the
dead man is wrapped into a bundle
and is hauled up through the roof
by strong ropes that the corpse may
not pass through any door used by
the living. Cremation follows and the
ashes are put into bag and stored in
the great wooden chests which MI
the family grave. house"
In the old days these ceremonies OF
those four days were very elaborate.
and the songs and chants used strik-
ing in their solemnity. Now. how
ever, much has been modernized, but
they still dislike the thought Of en-
tering a door through which body
has been carried.

Great American Trauedienne.

One of the greatest tragediennes OF
the last century, Charlotte Saunders
Cushman, died in Boston nearly half
a century ago, leaving behind her one
of the most inspiring and splendid
memories in all the history Of the
stage. Miss Cushman was born In
Boston July %, 1915 Her early am
bition was musical, and she was just
at the beginning Of successful oper-
attic career when her voice failed. Her
loss to music was gain TO the drama.
She first appeared as Lady Macbeth in
New Orleans, and soon gained rank In
England and America as the foremost
actress Of the English-speaking world.
Forty-five years ago the great actress
began her farewell tour of America.
and on a day in May. 1875, an audi
ence that filed the Globe theater In
Boston saw Charlotte Cushman's last
appearance on the stage. She died In
less than a year afterward.

SHOULD REFER TO THE PAST
Word Experience" Is One That ls FIRE.
quently Misused Even by
Writers Of Note.

The meaning and uses Of the word
experience is discussed in this man
ner by Archbishop Whately in his we'll
known work, Elements Of Logic: !:
"This word (experience), in its strict
sense applies to what has occurred
within a persons own knowledge. Ex-
perience in this sense, Of course, re-
lates to the past alone. Thus 1t Is
that man knows by experience what
sufferings he has undergone in some
disease; or. what height the tide reach
ed at certain time and place.
more frequently the word Is used
to denote judgment which is derived
from experience in the primary sense,
by reasoning from that. In comDina-
ton. Thus man may assert, on the
ground of experience, that the tide
may always be expected, under such
circumstances, to rise to such a height.
Strictly speaking, this cannot be
known by experience. but is a con-
clusion derived from experience and
other data. 1t Is In this sense only
that experience can be applied to the
future, or, which comes to the same
thing, to any general fact"
