MARSTON POST
ENDORSESARMY
Local American Legion Organ
ization Praises Salvation Ar
my For Work 1t Has Done.

Frank Marston Post. American
Legion, has endorsed the Salvation
Army for it's work in America and in
France during the war, and has ex-
pressed wish that the second home
service appeal, May 1920, may be a
success.
Post Commander, DIR. S. r. NJ. Ken
nedy, in speaking of the endorsement
given by Frank Marston Post, said he
was heartily in accord with the prin-
cipals under which the Salvation
Army works and has great faith in
the good the organization is doing.
The action of Frank Masston Post
in endorsing the Salvation Army is in
line with the steps taken by Ameri-
can Legion Posts all over the coun-
try. Almost every ex-service man is
loyal to the Salvation Army and never
fails to give aid whenever possible.
In Pensacola the Salvation Army
has made a name for itself by the way
it has cared for many poor families.
Captain Bergren and Mrs. Bergren, in
charge of the local corps, ve>sought
out many needed cases, have cared for
the sick and have given comfort to
those in distress.

EMMA GOLDMAN
is "HOMESICK''

Chicago, May Emma Goldman,
radical deported to Russia with Alex
ander Berkman and others on the SOW
let lark" Buford, has found it difficult
to acclmatize herself in the land of
her birth and is "homesick" for the
United States, according to letter
from her to DIR. Ben l.. Rseitman, long
her friend, made public today. The
letter was dated Moscow, March 8.
IT miss America. I lived there thirty
wears, you know" said Miss Goldman.
..However if / could at least hear from
those dear to me. left behind it would
not be so difficult
Her lack of knowledge OF the Rus
sian language and familiarity with the
new and strange situation" had kept
her from becoming active in, social
work she wrote.
TT is very difficult for one of my age
to acclimatize ones self in a new coun-
try even under the best conditions in
normal times, said the letter. But
Russia, bled white by over four years
of war and starved by the blockade, is
not a place where one may hope to
take root easily.

Post Accuses Cnn,inetti Of
Delaying Officials Duties
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Department Calls Action IL
legal and Unauthorized.
ASSAILS SPECIAL AGENTS
Says They Have No Legal Right
to Examine Aliens Who Are
Held for Deportation.

Washington, May Appearing be-
fore the house rules committee today
to defend his official conduct in alien
deportations. Louis F. Post, assistant
secretary of the labor department
charged that Anthony Caninetti, com
missioner of immigration, had delayed
action in deportations. by withholding
cases so he might complete IAN unau-
thorized and unlawful memoranda
recommending final action.
Mr.. Post declared that last March
he changed the custom that had grown
up in the department of permitting
Mr.. Caminetti to make recommends
tions and went direct to the record tc
make the final decision himself. This
he argued, was the only legally au-
thorized procedure.
At the time of the change, Mr.. Post
said, scores and scores and scores
of cases had piled up in the immigra-
tion bureau, with the result that many
aliens were being held in Jail for
months.
"The change was not made until
political offenders were. arrested" re-
marked Chairman Campbell.
Il understand your imputation,"
answered Mr.. Post, adding that the
house immigration committee, by it's
report in deportation cases, showed
only slight idea of the proceedings.
AS assistant secretary, he said he had
cancelled hundreds of warrants for de-
portation on the recommendation of
Mr.. Caminetti and immigration in
spectors.
Mr.. Post testified that the secretary
of labor alone was authorized by law
to issue warrants for deportation and
that he also was the sole judge in or
dering deporta tions. The immigra-
ton commission, he added, assumed
throughout its report that Mr.. Cami-
netti had power to recommend deporta-
tions.
Department of justice agents have
no legal right to examine aliens held
for deportation Mr.. Post said, as that
right is granted by law only to i'm
migration inspectors.
Mr.. Post said that he had found a
variance between the evidence and Mr..
memoranda and declared
the immigration committee had ac-
cepted the memoranda and compiled
misleading report
Cancellation of deportation warrants
was defined by the witness as "a YER
dict for the defendant"

LAUCK DEFENDS
HIGHER WAGES
Former Secretary of War Labor
Board Insists High Prices
Caused by Profiteering
BLAMES MANUFACTURERS
Tells Railroad Labor Board Gov.
ernment Should Control In
dustry as il Did Roads.

| Washington, May 7.-Presenting a
! mass of data prepared on behalf OF
the railroad brotherhoods and unions.
designed to show that increased wages
should not and had not caused higher
| prices, w. Jett Lauck. former secre-
| tary of the war labor board, today
suggested to the railroad labor board
two methods to curb profiteering and
reduce the cost of living. Either the
cost price of all commodities should
be marked when leaving the factory,
he declared, or congress should con-
troll industries as the railroads were
controlled during war.
The study seeks to show that
profiteering in industry is the funda-
mental cause for high prices in prac-
tically all commodities. It gives many
statistics to support that contention.
Calling attention to the many war
made millionaires, the study contends
that a three-fold relationship exists
between high prices, profiteering and
the addition to the quota of million
aires" and that the Nncrease in the
wealth of the wealthy is an 'unanswer-
able" refutation to all attempts to
charge labor with profiteering and TO
all attempts to hold labor responsible
for the high cost of living.
For, if invested wealth gets a
larger return" said the study "a
larger portion of the national income
than formerly, the man who gives per-
sonal service or labor is bound to get
a smaller proportion. The menace of
the future lies in the probability that
the vast profits, which are still held
in reserve. will be capitalized in order
that, under the pretext of a fair return
of capital, those who own them may
continue to take the larger proportion
of national income even at the ex-
pense of very great suffering on the
part of workers. when the over
stimulation of war has passed away"
or the extraordinary increase i'm the
price of sugar now amounting TO 200
per cent. the study says The increase
in labor cost paid by the Consumer
was less than Is per cent. The result
of advanced prices, according to the
quored reports of twelve companies
producing over half of the sugar con-
sumed in the United States, was pic
tured in the net profits of these con-
Germs which, it was said. rose from an
average of s11.0oO.OOO during the years
1s12-1914 to s34.OOO.OOO for the years
1916-191S.
In the meat packing industry where
profits were said to have increased
between 300 and 400 per cent the
labor item was shown so small that
wage increase of 100 per cent would
add less than per cent to the total
cost of the meat. The increase in the
price between 1914 and 1913 was shown
as eight times the total labor cost and
The 1918 price represented 25 times
he total labor item.
Profits absorb approximately one
lalf the retail price of certain kinds
If cloth, the report declared. while the
abor item amounts to from one
fourteenth to one-twentieth Of the
Price. Similar relations were pictured
n the manufacture of mems garments.

FIRST PILlNC.
BEING. DRIVEN
Contractor Turner Is Making
Rapid Progress in Construc-
ton of New Bridge.

Two bents of piIing have been driven
at Bayou Texar, where Contractor G.
H. Turner is constructing the new
concrete and steel bridge which VIII
replace the present unsatisfactory
wooden structure. Rapid progress is
being made on the bridge, although
the work is the sort which is not ap-
parent to the uninitiated.
County Engineer W. E. Wheat is
highly elated at the way the work is
going on, and whenever he is not busy
at some Of the other county construc-
ton jobs he can be found at Bayou
Texar watching the work. Mr.. Wheat's
plans for the bridge received the ap-
proval of the federal and state en-
gineers, and it is said the new Bayou
Texar bridge will be one OF the finest
in the south, both in looks and in de-
sign and construction.
Santa Rosa county is going ahead
rapidly on the approaches to the
MoIino bridge. and it is expected that
traffic will soon be coming over the
new causeway.

FAMOUS DERBY
Is run TODAY
Thousands of Visitors Will See
Historic Kentucky Event at
Churchill Downs.

Louisville, KY, May 7.-While in
coming trains unloaded thousands OF
visitors, adding to the already enor-
nous crowd awaiting to witness the
46th renewal of the Kentucky derby
at Churchill Downs Saturday after
noon, hotel proprietors sought every
means to increase accommo odations for
the visitors. Preparations have been
made by the hotel and race track au-
thorities to accommodate from sixty
thousand to seventy thousand turf fol-
lowers.
The usual derby day instructions
have been issued by the police depart
ment, including tips to the visitors
which are intended to lessen the ac-
tivities of pickpockets.
Meanwhile the Downs management
has prepared elaborately to care for
the anticipated record breaking. flow
of humanity. The grandstand has been
extended 308 feet, making it more than
twice as large as formerly. Additional
lawn space also has been provided.
Under the stand, the steps of which
have been shifted to the rear. will be
installed $50 pari- mutuel machines and
85 cashiers windows, or double the
number used at former runnings of the
historic classic.
The hard training season for the
derby candidates, which will contest
for the $4,000 added money prize,
ended yesterday. Only light gallops
to keep the 'three-year-
contenders on edge were indulged in
today. Present indications point to
field of twenty horses in the derby
which will be for a mile and quarter
distance. Never before has more than
sixteen thoroughbreds gone to the post.
OF the probable starters, there is not
one, according to their. owners. and.
trainers, that has not worked fast
in their training season to give
it a chance to win the coveted event.
Some show trials of a sensational ma
ture are. reported from the workouts.
In the probable lineup of the derby
field, which undoubtedly include the
cream of the tfree-year- old horses OF
the country. Harry Payne Whitney
has three candidates in Damask,

BANKS OPPOSE
RAILROAD LOAN
Believe Plan Would Hurt Value
OF Liberty Bonds and Grip
pie Roads Credit as Well

Washington, May 7.-Bankers called
before the Senate interstate commerce
committee today did not agree with
the testimony of railroad executives
yesterday that the government should
loan 100000, 900 additional to The roads
for new rolling stock. They said no
great part of the $4,000, 900 which the
railroad presidents estimated 20 be
necessary for new equipment to ra.ieve
present congestion could be raised
from the public.
Jerome G.. Hanauer Of Kuhn Loeb
& Co, New York of the committee of
investment bankers, suggested that
instead of making additional appro-
priations for cars, Congress extend
the period of the $500, ,000, 900 loan al
ready provided for the roads five to
fifteen years; that some money be
used in the betterment Of terminals
and perhaps in the increase of motive
power; and that the roads be 50 man
aged as TO expedite the movement Of
cars and reduce to a minimum re-
auirements for new equipment"
Chairman Cummins asked the opin-
ion of the witness on a plan of Civ
ing a government guarantee for the
payment of interest and principal on
sums borrowed by the railroads FOR
new equipment.
"The securities then issued world
sell entirely on the credit of the gov
ernment," Mr.. Janauer replied. "and
carrying a much higher rate OF inter
est would badly affect the value of
shorty honde and all other ot,tsfapd-
ing obligations of the United States.
Investors would naturally sell the Sc
curities of lower yield to take the
higher ones. In addition this would
make it impossible for railroads to
borrow money for their other needs on
their own credit"

HOOVER SENDS
JOHNSON REPLY
Says He Has Supported Lodge
Reservations and Wants John
son to Make Statement.
JOHNSON FLAYS HOOVER
Says He Favors League, But
Not English League" Which
Doesn't Prevent War.

New York, May Hiram Johnson
and Herbert Hoover have issued state
ments making clearer their positions
on the League of Nations regarded in
some quarters as a leading issue in the
| coming presidential campaign
Senator johnson. speaking of the re-
cent California primary, had this to
say in Washington.
I am very glad Mr.. Hoover ac-
cepts so philosophically the result in
California. Mr.. Hoover says his friends
introduced no personal issue" but
registered their protest at my extreme
opposition to any league to prevent
war and reduce armament Neither
statement is correct. His friends in
troduced into the campaign every con-
ceivable issue, including personal
abuse, and I have never expressed op-
position to any league to prevent war
and reduce armaments. My opposi-
ton has been Mr.. Hoover's English
league which did neither of these
things.
Herbert Hoover today authorized the
following statement:
Senator Johnson is quoted as saying
that he has never expressed opposition
to any league to prevent war and REL
duce armament. This indication of {
change of heart is matter of great
satisfaction. He states that he does
not want an English league. None
of us do. But does the senator mean
covenant with the Lodge reservations
is an English league ? This is the
covenant and these are the reserva-
tions which have supported since they
were first voted by the majority OF
the Senate last November Will the
senator speak out plainly on this
subject so that the people may know
where he stands and what he stands
for in this matter 2"
