JONES SHIPPING ACT AID
 IN RACE FOR WORLD TRADE

Washington, June 20.-Equipped with powers conferred by the recently enacted Jones shipping act, the American govern ment should enter the race for world trade with the determination to obtain it's rightful share. Senator oJnes of Washing ton declared today in a statement outlin- ing provisions of the new law bearing his name Revocation of treaties which now handicap the United States should be the first step, Senator Jones declared.
 Other nations" said Senator Jones. "are beginning to awake to the fact that we are going to make a determined eff fort to engage in the worlds carrying trade. England has directed her ambas- sador to look into it and no doubt he will use every diplomatic means to thwart our purposes.
 European nations generally are free ing themselves from treaty provisions that will hinder them in the struggle for the worlds trade. We have been prevent ed from doing what many thought should be done to aid our merchant marine by treaties entered into many years ago This is a splendid time to unshackle our selves and put ourselves in a position tc make such treaties, to enter into such commercial relations and to enact sucr laws as we think will promote our welfare in the worlds readjustment. Other nations will look after their in. terests We must look after ours w, are entering no brotherly love, Sunday school picnic. in seeking our part of th'

CONTESTS IN REPUBLICAN
 PRIMARIES IN MAINE TO-DAY

Augusta, Me, June 20.-Three candi- dates will oppose Governor Carl E. MilIi- ken in his quest for renomination by the republican party for third term of two years at the state primaries tomorrow The biennial state election will be held on Sept. 13.
 Governor Milliken's opponents, all of whom are lawyers, are Tohn P Deering of Saco a state senator; Frederic H. Plank hurst of Bangor, former chairman of the republican state committee, who was de- feated by Governor Milliken for nomina- tion four years ago, and Louis A. Jack of Lisbon. All have based their campaigns largely upon the argument that public sentiment is unfavorable to third two year term for any governor. The second governor of the state served for five years. Since then no one has occupied the office for more than four years There are no contests for the principal office on the democratic ticket. Bertram G. McIn- tyre of Norway the party nominee for governor two years ago, will be renomi- mated.
 No United States senator will be elected from Maine this year, as the term of Senator Frederick Hale, republican, does not expire until 1923.

EMBARGO FOLLOWS STRIKE
 OF PHILADELPHIA YARDNEN

Philadelphia, Penn, June 2O-The yardmen's strike in the Philadelphia dis trict which started Friday night, affect ed the movement of freight today on both the Pennsylvania and the Reading Railway. Both companies tonight placed embargoes in the local yards on ali freight except perishables, livestock, food and fuel for public utilities The Penn sylVania's embargo also included local yards at Baltimore. The action was taken, according to a statement by the company as a precautionary measure and not because of any immediate effects of the walkout
 Passenger service on both roads is be- ing operated on normal basis. officials stated.
 Conflicting statements regarding the number of men on strike were issued to- night, the companies claiming a total of less than 700 had quit work. while strike leaders declared between five and six thousand are out. Pennsylvania officials said about $50 men were out in it's yards and officials number only fourteen were passenger yardmen. The others, with the exception of three enginemen and eight firemen, were freight yard brakemen. Reading officials said about the same number of men, largely freight brake men, had left their yards.
 Thirty volunteer crews, recruited from the clerical and supervisory forces, were put to work in the Pennsylvania yards today and the company's statement said all yards operated at full capacity.
 Several meetings of strikers were held today and leaders announced there would be large accessions to their ranks tomor- row, hundreds having vo.ed to join the walkout. Speakers decl1red the strike was mot so much against the railroads. as it is against the railroad labor board and that the men would not re- turn to work until the labor board ad- justed their grievances. The time limit of sixty days for the promised adjourn ment of grievances, the strikers said expired three days ago, and when their committee after a conference with the board reported they would have to wait until August fifth for settlement, it was decided to strike No demands have been presented to the companies
 Pennsylvania railroad officials here an- nounced the same embargo, except as to human foodstuffs and coal for public util- ities and hospitals, also applies on their line.

DECLARES BOLSHEVISM IS
 NOTHING BUT ANARCHY

Sebastopol, June 18.-By The A. P) The allies cannot bring about a read justment of the worlds affairs without the cooperation of Russia, but it is not from a bolshevik Russia that such CO., operation can be secured, declared Gen. eral Baron Wrangel, commander of the volunteer army in South Russia which has been conducting a successful offen- sive from the Crimea from the bolshe- wiki, in a talk with the correspondent here today.
 England is making mistake in treating with the bolsheviki," said Gen eral Wrangel at the outset. "The bol- shevik power is maintained only by war fare, and any nation dealing with that power will soon find it's agreements broken. The civil war in Russia is not struggle between parties, but a socia war involving the whole world. Nc country understands this better than the United States.

 WINE AMENDMENT

Washington, June 20.-Declaring that "all his friends admit that he stands for beer and wine amendment" Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti Saloon league, today asserted that Gov ernor Cox of Ohio cannot sidestep the charge that he is the wet candidate for president" The beer and wine amend ment, according to MT. Wheeler, is a di- rect attack upon the eighteenth amend ment because it attempts to repeal the latter through enactment of a law which prevents it's enforcement
 MT. Cox has been elected governor of Ohio by deceiving the people as to his at- titude on this question:" MT. Wheelere' s statement continued. He even deceived MT. Bryan through two campaigns when he stumped the state for him but the dry democrats in Ohio and the nation will not be misled."
