EVIDENCE OF IRISH
 EXTREMISTS BEING
 BEATEN IS SEEN
British Officers Murdered for Purpose of Influencing De- bate on Home Rule Bill,
 Says Birkenhead
By Associatsd rress

London. November 2s.-Discussing the Irish Home Ruie bill, which he read n the House of Lords today, Lord BirkeIl- head suggested that secondary motive for the murder of British officers in Dublin last Sunday was the influencs that it would have on debate over the bill, and declared there was evidence that the Sim Fein extremists were being beaten.
 Pointing out that unless this present bill be passed, the Home Rule act of 1914 would automatically come into op- eration directly the peace treaty with Turqey is ratified, he formally announce ed. that the government would not make itself responsible for a simple repeal of the 1914 act. Lord Birkenhead said he was convinced, however. that the only danger to the bill lay in coalition of those thinking it did not go far enough and those thinking it went too for.
 Strange as it may seem.' he said, "l think this is a favorable opportunity to effect settlement because the Irish people are sick and tired of the horrible reign of terrorism"
 The Earl of Dunrayen, on the ground that the bill was not supported by tho great majority of Irishmen and afforded no prospect Of permanent settlement, moved its rejection, describing the bill as an honest but ignorantly honest, at7 tempt on the part of the government to settle the Irish question.

TENANTS TO SHOVEL
 OWN COAL IF STRIKE
 OF JANIT0RS CALLED
Bx Associated Prcss

Chicago, November S.-With an other janitors strike looming after the Chicago Real Estate boards re- fusal of new wage demands, officials of the Chicago Tenants association de- clared today they would shovel their own coal rather than submit to ex- tortion.' The association has about 20.0O0 members.
 Some Chicago Janitors are making s5,o0o a year, according to James J. Carroll of the real estate board.
 When officials of the janitors union met with a committee from the board yesterday, they presented demands for increases approximately 50 per cent. The demand was refused by the board.
 Edwip F. Hammond. a Tenants As- sociation official, told the board the janitor in the flat building in which he lived was making $500 month.
 If the increase is granted he will make 800 month, which, doubtless, is more than any tenant in the building makes said Hammond.

 riers must show inability to provide themselves with the funds necessary for the aforesaid purpose from other sources
 To give full force to the statute, the de- cision said inability to obtain funds from other sources must be construed as an
 inability to secure funds upon terms which the carriers, with due regard for the public interests, will be justified in accepting. and 1t must be held that an excessive rate of interest or other un- duly burdensome or injurious conditions which the exercise of sound business dis- crction will not permit, constitute inabii- ity within the meaning of the statute. to obtain funds from other sources

JUDGE PAvES WAY TO
PUNISH PRoFlTEERS

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Mar. Judge
John w. Wade of the Pulaski circuit
court today led the way to put an end
TO profteering in Arkansas, and if the
other circuit judges in the state will
follow his example somebody will sure
ly pay the penalty for extortiOn. In
charging the grand jury today the
Judge dwelt upon the practice of prof.
iteering for more than two hours and
clearly showed the jury how guilty
parties could be reached under the
law.
Another species Of crime has come
into existence as a result of the war
high prices is profteering," Judge
Wade told members Of the grand jury.
81 understand that many of the high
prices are justified, Judge Wade CON
tinued.
Our manpower was taken from pro.
duction during the war and put into
destruction The result is a great
scarcity which makes high prices. Ef-
forts have been made to confne and
punish those guilty OF profiteering
The special session OF the Arkansas
Legislature which was in session when
the last grand jury was called was TO
have taken up legislation affecting
profteering. But the Legislature did
not take up the question, and there
fore we have no laws against it.
But there are laws, and always
have been, against boarding the neces-
sites OF life for the purpose of raising
prices. If this grand jury finds any
local instances of boarding to increase
prices, it is a crime, and the violators
should be punished.
People engaged in commerce some
times agree among themselves to raise
prices to keep prices at a certain level
| understand that there is such an
agreement between merchants. The
grand jury should inquire into this.
Merchants should not be insulted be-
cause of an investigation by the grand
jury. 1t is of benefit to them.
I'VE will pay no attention to the OBJ
jections which may be voiced because
of such Investigations, but we must be
fair to all. The people are entitled to
an investigation and punishment of
auy persons found guilty of keeping up
prices by agreement
The Harrison times., 1920-03-06
"PLl NOT PAY IT"

The answer to the gh-cost-of-living
problem, according to market and f.
anncial expert writing in Chicago pa
per is "Ill not pay it." He says it
would work hardship on the mer-
chant who has laid in a big stock OF
goods, but he also says that people fix
the prices anyway and they can lower
them by refusing to buy at what seem
to be an exorbitant prices.
II no one would pay SIS for shoes
there would be no $15 shoes. If wo-
men would refuse to buy five dollar
hose, no merchant would be asking
five dollars for them. 1t all seems
simple enough, but how can a woman
Il won't pay it, for bacon and eggs
and bread when she has children and
a hungry husband back at the house
waiting the call to eat. So the expert
is only partially correct in his argu.
ment.
1t may be generally known, though
we think most Harrison people realize
it, but the merchants are doing every.
thing they can to lower prices. They
are telling the wholesaler that they
are not going to buy his expensive
stuff a minute longer than they have
to. They are discounting bills where
possible to give their customers the
benefit Of the saving But their hands
are tied, and few Of them are making
the money now that they made before
people were tempted to turn away
from the counter with that 'T won't
pay IT. protest

COZ FEE AND PEACE

Throughout the war the prices of
coffee remained stabe, though probab-
ly every other article of food advanced
in price. Residents Of Harrison see
an easing off in the cost Of some neces-
stiles today, but they also note that
coffee has commenced to advance.
The United States is the largest con-
sumer Of coffee in the world and Ger
many comes next, with France third.
Russia is not far behind, while we are
told that England stands fourteenth.
Germany has been shut off from the
coffee markets by blockade and
short freight rates reduced shipments
to Russia. France was compelled to
reduce her consumption through =
money shortage and England satisfied
to drink tea has withdrawn many of
her steamers from the coffee trade
and has sent them into other than
East Indian ports Brazil, which pro
duces three-fourths of the worlds cof-
fee, is practically the one market of
the United States, and since the grow
ers there were charged high freight
rates during the war they have now
decided to even things up by raising
the price Of coffee when freight rates
are becoming lower.
The man who indicated coffee would
go higher at the end Of the war knew
what he was talking about. He de-
clared that the sugar men would also
get their crack" at the common peo-
pie before it was all over and the war
forgotten about.
