CHANGED WHILE YOU WAIT.
You Can BE Citizen of Any countr,
Preferred in East.

Preferred in East.
BY Associated Press.
Constantinople, May 24.-citizen-
ship is a commercial commodity
which is hawked about in the cities
Of the Levant with an indifference
which makes westerners wonder
whether the mixed commercial pop
ulations Of near eastern cities are
capable of patriotism and devotion to
any country.
An American business man in Con-
stantinople who was recently employ
ing some agents asked many ap-
plicants what their citizenship was
Without exception the men produced
passports from most or the Balkan
states and expressed q Willingness to
feign any citizenship which might be
necessary and to change as cireum-
stances might demand. When the
American expressed surprise they
assured him it was very easy to get
papers fixed up for consideration.
Most Of the Levantines who had
German and Austrian citizen
ship have very speedily taken
Czecho- Slovak papers or say they
have become ,Jugo -Slavs. It is just
as easy for them to cnange their ma
tionality as it is ror the chameleon
to change his colors. Many Levantine
firms have shuffled the citizenship
OF their members in such a manner
Eas to have no difficulty in meeting
any business emergencies which may
rise, and make claims on the various
consular and diplomatic representa-
tives for assistance in their CONNER
cial operations.
B The fashion in citizenship changes
in Constantinople and other neaI
eastern ports just as the styles in
hats. Greek citizenship has recent
ly become very popular because OF
the good treatment Greece had at the
hands Of the peace conference and
the general belief that Great Britain
is definitely behind Greek commercial
interests and expecrs to do its busi-
ness largely thru Greek intermedi-
aries.

Clothing Workers Union
Held Illegal Combine

, means lawfully might be used by q
union in enforcing its purposes.
The Amalgamated caller a strike
| of its members employed in the
Michaels. Stern & Co. factory on
July %. 1919, after the company hao
| refused to recognize It as the repre-
sentative of its employees, The COM
pany invited the United States Gar
| ment Workers to organize it's en-
ployes and entered into an agreement
covering working conditions with ii
as its employees representatives.
From the time Of the calling of the
strike until October the strikers, re-
| inforced by Amalgamated members
| employed in other Rochester cloth
Ing factories, picketed the factories
of Michaels,, Stern B. Co., and some
| Of the shops of contractors who did
| work for the company. The COM.
pany charged that its employees were
subjected to verbal abuse, actual
assaults and threats" and Its bust
ness was nnlawfully interfered with.
In October 1t applied to Supreme
Court Justice Adolph J. Rodenbeck
for an Injunction restraining the
union members from the acts al
legged. and was granted a temporary
writ. Early this year application
| was made to the court to have the
temporary injunction made perma-
| nent and asking for 100000 as re-
endorsement for damages alleged to
have been done to it's business by the
| unions activities.
The sole issue raised, according to
the company's counsel, was whether
i the law will protect Michaels. Stern
& Co. and its employees from verbal
abuse. actual assaults and threats,
and unlawful interference with its
business"
According to counsel for the union,
the legal questions raised were:
Whether the enforcement of collec-
tive bargaining was legal object.
and whether the meanS employed TO
enforce 1t We're lawful.
The union contended that 1t sought
to better the condition Of it's MEM
bers by the enforcement Of collective
bargaining and that "the strikes. in
citement of strikes. picketing and ap-
peals to the public Gnsofar as they
did not involve violence. fraud or de-
famation and similar tactics, which
the defendants emphatIcally dis
avoweD, were tactical means
reasonably adapted to the achieve
ment of the strategic objective of
collective bargaining" and strictly
within the law. The company sought
to show that the means used by the
union transcended the bounds that
have been set by courts to pi<keting
and other .means Of persuasion.

New York. June 19.-The alarming
views from Berlin concerning re-
ported conditions on the Polish front
are not shared by the official Polish
bureau Of information here which
stated today that It's dispatches
showed the Polish front was being
strongly held some $50 to 400 miles
east of Warsaw. This, it was pointed
out, makes it impossible for War
saw to be threatened as the Berlin
reports asserted.
The reports are attributed to ex-
aggerated assertions Of the Polish
evacuation of Kiev and the return OF
relief parties to Warsaw.

| New York, June 19.-Shaking his
head wearily. after the days investi-
cation had increased the myriad of
! curious circumstances surrounding
| the murder of Joseph Bovine Elwell
District Attorney Swami exclaimed:
i will make very candid state
ment We are as far off from the
solution as we were on last Friday
morning when the crime was COM

Assistant District Attorney John
I. Dooiing. who for four hours
questioned Mrs. Viola Won aSchlegcl-
kraus, whose newly granted di-
vorce was celebrated by Elweu and
others on the night before he was
murdered, refused to say what he
had learned from her except that 1t
was important.

husband, who was present on the
Ritz- Carlton roof the night before

While the story told by Mis-
Kraus during the four hour period Of
her Investigation was sealed up tight,
4 those OF the Elwell housekeeper, Mrs.
Marie Larsen; the chauffeur, Edwin
Rhodes, and other witnesses were
made public in full detail, but they
threw little fresh light on, the case.
| A new name was brought into the
case today, that OF a Miss Wilson,,

adverse factors there is real ground
for CONFIDENCE.
Bradford shipping houses, which
probably are in closer touch with
conditions on the continent than
anybody else, know there are big
gaps yet TO be filed. In fact, il
German wool houses could come into
the market in their pre-war style,
there would soon be a radical change.
Big weights of wool tops, as well as
yarns are still wanted. Half of
Europe is still at the band end for
clothing, and if all speculation has
now been shaken out of the market,
it will tend to the re- establishment
OF confidence and lead to an i'm
provement.

DRY FORCES ATTACK cox
Battle For Control Of Convention e
Guido Republican Scrap.

Battle For Control Of Convention TO
Guido Republican Scrap.
ashinxton9 June 1 The cpaniax
guns of the prohibition fight. at the
democratic national convention were
fred in Washington recently. From
the caltber Of ammunition used, the
ultimate stand OF the party as en-
bodied In the platform will be pre-
,ceded by a much mora strenuous en-
counter than was thes case at Chi
cago.
The prohibition forces. represented
by the anti saloon league, evidently
feel they have more to fear from the
democrats than they did from the re-
publicans. A statement issued today
by Wayne B. Wheeler. general coun-
sci for the league, attacks Governor
Cox. Of Ohio. as having a record ''as
malodorous as Governor Edwards"
and serves notice on tha democrats
that William ]. bryan will act as a
bodyguard for the ola 1's calling for
the enforcement OF the eighteenth
amendment which was somehow lost
at Chicago.
The wet proponents it was learned
today will attempt to prove to ths
democratic convention not only the
necessity Of declaring for the liberal
ization Of the Volstead act. but also
the political expediency of such a
move.
The two planks suggested by the
rival factions follow:
Anti Saloon League-"We declare
for the effective enforcement OF the
eighteenth amendment and laws
enacted pursuant thereto as con-
strued by the supreme court OF the
United States"
rohibitionists-"We declare
for the effective enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment, but call upon
congress for modification Of the en-
forcement act"
"We never asked any political party
to make prohibition party issue
while it was divisive issue in poll
ties" said Mr.. Wheeler in discussing
the desires Of the prohibitionists. ut
is now an accomplished fact. The
question at this time is: Shall the
constitutional provision be en-
forced or nullified! No party should
sidestep that issue. It Is question Of
loyalty to the federal government
and the constitution Of the United
States. The recent decision Of the
supreme court makes 1t clear that tf
prohibition is to be enforced effect
lively, the standard adopted in the ma
tional prohibition code must be MAIN
tanned. The friends Of law enforce
ment will present solid front
against Governor Cox. He is the last
hope of the vets In their program of
notification"
The vets base their main hope OF
defeating the program set forth by
Mr.. Wheeler upon political expodi-
ency. and their fight will be not 80
much one Of candidates nor among
the delegates as among the practical
politicians of the party. They be-
lieve they can make. the controlling
elements in the democratic party see
that so-called liberal stand on the
question of prohibition will be an as
set that may play a large part in
swinging at least six states, In some
of which the present quotations on
democratic success are way below
par.

matters Which the convention itself
will decide.
Il am not even receptive candi-
hdate for the position of permanent
chairman. There are many members
OF the party with much stronger
claims upon it's recognition and who
richly deserve any honor in its gift.

other thought than to cooperate
heartily with my fellow delegates
from the District of Columbia and to
participate in the deliberations of the

helpfully. shall return to my duties

vention adjourns."

WOOL FLOOD IN ENGLAND.
Trade Concerned az Credits Tighten
and Prices Slump.


and Prices Slump.
Bradford, Eng, June 19.-tSince the
last wool auction series in Coleman
street, there has been an auction sald
in Liverpool, where prices declined 10
to 15 per cent. A sale Of Hull shown
woods took place In Bradford lest
Friday. when further decline Of 10
to Is per cent took place. hence the
trade was prepared for q weak open
Ing last Monday.
Even the government. at least
those responsible FOR Offering the
woods, is apprehensive. and the
abolishment Of all sales "by descrip-
tion" clearly proves they are dis
posed to help the trade little. Ic
would have been as well Il the cur
rent series had only lasted q fort
night. but the arrangements for
three weeks5 selling indicates they
want to put as much wool on the
market as possible. That is the posi-
tion today.
The home trade Is, well supplied
with wool, and there is hardly Arm
but is gravely concerned about the
future.
Values have suffered sharp set
back the last month. There never
was a series Of London sales yet
but that weak interval reacted
materially ppon values in Bradford.
There is no doubt but that the set
back In wool values is largely due
to financial reasons. Money is tight
here in America and Japan.
Harry Dawson says the drastic
restriction Of credits by banks, altho
1t has crippled all legitimate bust-
ness, viii winnow out the speculative
element. and after few forced
realizations Will make the market
more sound"
Banks have been restricting credits
for the last six weeks and legitimate
business has been lost. Many firms
twould have remained in the field as
buyers II banks had been willing to
stand by them as usual. The present
setback In values Is bound to On

see his stock worth less than it cost. :

regular flow of business we have
been accustomed to see has practic-

Cancellations have been common,

trade, but the financial difhculty<is
the real disturbing factor. Among

good many. Tops being now plenti-
