DIRECT TACTICS
IN Use AGAINST
GERMAN REDS
Newspapers Suppressed and
Strike Leaders Arrested
LOCKOUT RAILROAD MEN
Shops Closed Until Men Agree to Re-
introduction Of Piece.Work
System

Berlin, Jan. 2S (delayed) The Ger
man Government is exercising its
power in the most energetic way to
deal with, the alarming symptoms of
these critical weeks. Almost daily the
suppression of one OF the more radical
newspapers is announced; many radi
cal and political workers and strike
agitators are under arrest. Five meet
ings were called in Berlin by the Inde
pendent Socialists to protest that the
freedom CT the press had been for
hidden by Minister Of Defence Noske
Die Freiheit has been suppressed for
two weeks, and there is no indication
when the Government will lift the
embargo
A lockout has been resorted to by
thirteen additional railroad shops,
bringing the total number of shops
closed to seventeen, and it was an
nounced. that when these shops are
reopened only those will be employed
who are deemed desirable and who
agree to the reintroduction CT the
piecework system.
Not mercy the industrial balance
in the next few months depends upon
the miners and railroad shopmen but
also the food supply of the cities.
Mayor Wermuth told the Berlin City
Council yesterday that the next few
weeks would be the most anxious
since the beginning of the war, ex-
cept the short period in 1919 beflre
began. All experts are

available, but the landowners lacked
coal for threshing and transportation
facilities for delivery; also they did
NOT realize the predicament of the
cities.
A comprehensive review OF the in
dustrial situation is made In an APP
peal to the coal miners by Robert
Schmidt, Socialist Minister of Econo
mics, who says:
evidence is accommodating that the
Communist propaganda is seeking to
destroy the Industrial peace which
cost so much care to restore in the
western mine districts. Blinded po

FAMILY MARKED BY oDDlTy
London Newspaper Tells of StranoS
Fate That Pursued Group Both
In Life and Death.

There lived at Ipswich in the reign
of William III family known as the
"odl family most appropriate
name. as the following facts prove,
London Answers states:
Every event, good, bad or lndifrer-
ent came to that family in an odd
year or an odd day of the month, and
every person was odd In manner or
behavior or appearance. Even the
letters of their Christian names al.
ways amounted TO an odd number.
The father and mother were Peter
and Rahab; their seven children tall
boys) bore the names of David, Eye
KEEL. James, Jonas, Matthew, Roger
and Solomon, The, husband possessed
only one leg and his wife only one
arm; solomon was blind in his left
eve and Roger lost his right In m
accldent James had his left ear torn
of in quarrel Matthew's left hand
had but three fingers.
Jonas had 4 stump foot, David was
humpbacked and Ezekiel was G feet2

dations of the State with general
strike under the banner of the six
hour day. One cannot believe that
the mass of workers viii receive such,
criminal attempts cordially 1t is to
be hoped that the unions will succeed
in defeating the proposals of the po-
litical wire puilers.'
4 He recalled that the strike last
April cost 100000 tons in production
and added il. reference to the difficult
ties under which industry is laboring
today:
THE glass industry has 80 per
cent. output and porcelain so per
cent. Fifty mills manufacturing news
print with priority coal privileges
have only 20 per cent. output. Nit
rcgen factories could raise their pro.
duction to 10000 tons IL their coal
needs were fully supplied and as a
ton of nitrogen represents 10 tons
OF grain it is apparent that the coal
shortage can mean shortage CT O.
100000 tons OF grain. or one-fourth
of the crop as estimated officially
what do these figures signify? In
the first place that the growing i'm
employment now nearing 100000
persons is not due. in the great ma
jority OF cases, 10 the state Of our in
ternational relations, nor to lack of
technical ability, ncr to 4 shortage of
raw materials nor 10 difficulties of
marketing, but hundreds OF thousands
of workers arc on vacation because
their colleagues in the coal mines
have not been successful in increas-
ing their production.
In the second place. We cannot
gain access to the worlds markets.
England stands ready to buy at any
price whatever CERAMIC products the
industry car manufacture. America
has asked for 200 600 tons of news
print paper and South America IS
ordering monthly hundreds cf car
loads OF paper. These orders cannot
be filed because of the coal short.
age.
Finally, this limitation upon ex-
ports feTbids our obtaining foreign
money in payment; hence the daily
diminishing prospect of importing
foodstuffs.n
Herr Schmidt reminds the workers
OF the friendship of the Government
as shown by the special food rations
they obtained all last year, and. men
tioning plan to erect 10000 min
ers' DIVE lings, he asks: May not
the Government expect the minor to
accept the proffered hand. TO do his
full duty and to provide, by working
overtime, the materials with which
his own home will be built?
Whoever wishes he concludes,
ito introduce the SIX hour day does
not harm the Government ncr the
capitalist, but he literally brings star
walton to his brothers in the city
trades"

The reason why Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is so successful
in overcoming Woman's ills is because it

herbs, which act on the female organ
