AS LABOR EMPLOYER

CHICAGO, March 21.-The scale of
wages received by federal employees is
the lowest paid by any employer of
labor in the country, and the abolition
of the S240 year bonus is a rank in
justice" Federal Judge Kenesaw NJ.
Landis said today at a meeting of post
office clerks and federal employees.
Any steps that you can take toward
enlisting the sympathy of the public
in your request for increased pay and
the reestablishment of the bonus are
justified" said the judge.
Get out of the public service if you
possibly can for long as you remain
federal employe you Will be served
with every form of injustice.
Il don't advocate making use of the
strike weapon. for that would be ig-
noring the rights of the public. Fed
eral employees never have struck and
don't believe they ever will
There are some gentlemen, and I'm
not criticising congress. who think it is
economy to keep the wages of federal
employees at the lowest possible point
That's not economy-it's insanity

Prohibition Is a
Step Toward State
Despotism, He Says

DENVER, Colo. March 21.-Prohibi-
ton was described in a sermon tonight

pastor of the cathedral of the Immaeu-
despotism. which he declared has led

Il am convinced that prohibition has
overshot the mark" he said. I'm in

lation and in forcing the eighteenth
amendment upon the people under alb

have encroached so far on state and
individual rights that any attempt 10

Calling attention to the fall of other
nations in the past through anarchy
and state despotism, he continued:
THE old principle that every mans
house IS his castle and that a man IS
innocent until proven guilty are being
ruthlessly cast aside and the powers
granted to a policeman would pat to
shame the former czars of Russia. This
is but one instance of state domina-
ton. 1 might cite undue censorship

national educational autocracy, anti

Father McMenamin also criticised
the league of nations covenant because
it contained no mention of the Deity
Nations that endure must be built
upon the eternal principles of God" he
said.

PROSECUTION Of
GUILTY PLANNED
EBERT DECLARES
[RepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

STUTTGART, Germany, Mar. IL
The immensity of the damage caused
in Germany by the revolution and the
consequent uprising and the govern
ments present determination to prose-
cute the guilty were voiced by PreSl-
dent Ebert today.
Il am optimistic enough to think
that the damage has not been cataS-
trophical and that is also the opinion
of the cabinet" President Ebert said.
Il am sorry the events of the last few
days have proved there are still circles
in Germany that think the distress of
the lost war not great enough. They
are the same groups that always de-
sired war: they are the meters OF
the militariSts and reactionaries-''
Regarding punishment of the Kapp
leaders and the expectation by some
that the state of siege would make
necessary the execution of all the
guilty, the president declared:
Those guilty shall feel the full
weight of the law. Officers of respon-
sible position and all leading civilians
who joined will be regarded as guilty,
be charged with high treason and
might be punished with penal servi-
tude.'
Regarding executions under martial
law, Herr Ebert said:
The lawyers will determine. Per
haps some will be executed besides
the confiscation of their property. We
want to punish the leaders, but to
spare those who We're forced into the
movement or acted through ignor-
ance."
Gustav Noske, minister of defense in
the Ebert government, before leaving
here last night for Berlin, said he
would soon restore order in Germany.
Reports from Mannheim say the
bridges on the south side of the
Neckar river have been closed to pre-
vent the spread of unrest that has ap-
peared in the factories of Mannheim.
The workmen are said to have greatly
lowered production to enforce the de-
mands Tor increased power for their
workmen's councils. Thus far there
has been no disorder, but precaution-
ary measures are being taken by the
military officials.

GOMPERS EXPLAINS
PURPOSE Of LABOR'S
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Samuel
Gompers, writing in the current issue
of the American Federationist, asserts
that labor's non partisan political fight
will be aimed particularly at defeat of
those candidates who are enemies of
labor"
1.-The fight is on" the article said .
Labor has no weapon but the truth,
no force but the force of reason and
argument. Its appeal is to the heart
and brain of America. Its aim is the
welfare of the American nation. the
safeguarding of the American democ-
racy.''
Asserting that labor's right had been
"menaced by many present holders of
political places" Mr.. Gompers said the
Injunction process had been abused
until 1T would scarcely be recognized
by its originators. !"
Money greed, political greed, greed
for place and power-these have been
among us undoing our will and strik-
ing at our liberties" he said
DECLARING that labor must contend
for fundamentals that apply to the
whole people" Mr.. Gompers continued: ::
Labor is not something impersonal.
1t is not like a machine, nor is it like
a corporation. It is the sum total of
the lives of all those who are useful
to the world.
Therefore. the interest of labor in
legislation is not limited interest fall
ing between any two given points.
congress can not do any single
thing in which labor is not interested :"

Cork Mourns Lord
Mayor; Police Will ;.
Be Doubled in City

CORK. March 21-Thousands of
persons from the city and surrounding
country today passed through the city
hall, where the body of Lord Mayor
MacCurtain, who was assassinated
early Saturday morning, was lying in
state.
A procession of mourners two miles
long followed the hearse yesterday
when the body was conveyed from his
residence to the town hell. Bishop
Colahan walked in front of the first
body of the Cork Sim F'ein volunteers,
which acted as body guard and which
furnished the guard of honor in the
town hall during the night
The only reason suggested for the
assassination of the lord mayor is re-
venge for the recent murder of police
men, Some persons today expressed
the belief that it meant the beginning
of a campaign of retaliation for the
killing of numerous members of the
constabulary and soldiers for which
act no one has yet been punished.
Sim Fein flags are flying over the
evacuated constabulary barracks at
Sherlock. county Cavan. Sim Fein
policemen are in charge there
The police force of Cork will be in
creased Monday by large drafts of
men from various districts.
The Catholic bishop Of Cork in his
address at the cathedral today said
the country had received a terrible
shock in the murder of the 1ard mayor
but that he advised that no reprisa1s
be made Ireland's cause could not be
advanced by outrages, he said. The
only party to derive advantage from
the crime wave in Ireland was the
party which always had refused and
still was refusing freedom to Ireland.
The bishop denounced the search by
the military of houses after the muir
der as callous and inhuman. He said
the military ought to apologize to the
city.
The protestant bishop and other
ministers also denounced the murder
from their pulpits today.

CLAIMS HIGHER
OIL PRICES To
PROTECT MARKET I

SAN FRANCISCO. March 21.-The
Standard Oil company of California,
through it's president, X. ?. Kingsbury.
in an open letter today addressed to
the state railroad commission, defend
Ell its recent advance in fuel oil prices
which was made ''in hope that an in
crease of 25 cents a barrel would slim
ulate production and restore the bal
ance between supply and demand"
The letter was issued as a result of
an inquiry addressed to the oil COM
pany last week by the railroad COM
mission asking why an increase was
necessary As many public utilities
operate their plants with power OBJ
tanned from fuel oil. the commission
said ii believed the public should know
the reasons for the increase.
The oil situation in California, which
the company declares to be serious, is
reviewed in detail in the company s
letter, which points out that an in
crease in price tends to conserve the
use of fuel and TO check the depletion
of stocks. This is the only known
remedy.
On the subject of gasoline, which
the company says has an equal interest
with that of fuel oil. the letter says:
Gasoline must be kept at a price
where il will not be shipped to other
markets in quantities sufficient to de-
plete the California, market. For eX-
ample, at the present time gasoline is
selling in New York at 281a cents u
gallon wholesale. Previous to the re-
cent advance here, it was selling at
1912 cents per gallon wholesale, a diff
ference of nine cents a gallon. The
rail rate to New York is seven cents a
gallon and the water rate not to eX-
ceed four cents. Obviously unless a
proper differential exists between the
Pacific coast price and the eastern
prices, Pacific coast gasoline will be
shipped east by wholesalers. jobbers
and others aud sold at a profit 10 the

British Ships In
Bosphorus; Power
OF Sultan Wanes

| CONSTANTINOPLE, March 20
The passing of the sultan's power is
grimly evidenced by the long line of
| British dreadnoughts in the Bospho-
rus, but 1t is apparent that most of the
Turks refuse to accept this evidence.
The sultan issued an exhortation to
his subjects yesterday to pursue their
usual yocationS in peace, regardless of
foreign occupa ton. Meantime, a Brit
ish warship was steaming towards
Malta, carrying Reouf Bey and many
others of the nationalist leaders who
We're supporting Mustapha Kemars
opposition to- the dismemberment of
Turkey and who We're taken in a raid
on Constantinople preceding its oc-
cupatiOn.
The nationalists charge the sultan
with treachery and say he lacks cour-
age and patriotism. The sultan's cab
met threatened to resign, but after
several meetings decided to retain Of
flee.
The only government in Turkey
which has any power is believed to be
at Angora, 215 miles east-southeast of
Constantinople.
Mustapha Kemal and his committee
have the interior of Asia Minor large
ly at their mercy. Communication has
been broken with virtually all of Ash
attic Turkey.
The small number of allied troops in
Turkey has made it impossible to af-
ford protection to the Christian pop
ulation in the interior and great un-
easiness is felt for the welfare of the
workers in Anatolia and Cilicia, as it
is feared the nationalists will take
hostages.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 19-
Mohamed VI, sultan of Turkey, looked
older and more broken than usual this
morning as he made his weekly ride in
state from Yi!diz palace to Mejidieh
Jami for> his "Selmanlik," or official
attendance at prayers. Although the
allied proclamation of military occu-
patton of constantinople declared the
allies intention to uphold the sultan's
power professionally, the crowds
watched the unhappy old man emerge
from his palace overlooking the pic
turesque minarets and towers of
Stamboul and the sun-bathed Bos-
phorus, appeared to realize that eight
hundred years of Turkish rule in Con-
stantinople had virtually ended.

and that preparations be made to com
mence the stamping of all money in
circulation in Hungary. Money in the
hands of the people must be presented
TO the banks. and the bearer is to re-
ceive stamped money in half the
amount presented. The other half is
TO be converted into state bonds. to be
redeemable in a few years. The bonds
VIII bear interest at the rate of four

There is the greatest excitement
throughout the country because the
peasantry has boarded huge sums of
blue money" The farmers are irving
to avoid losses by asking double price
for their products, and are demanding
payment in silver gold or manufac-
tured articles.
In financial circles pessimism is ex :
pressed over the situation. 1t is point
ed out that the new measure may allie
yiate temporarily the governments
embarrassment. but that it is hardly
likely to improve the exchange rate
on money or reduce high prices.
