ALLEGED, PLAN TO DELAY CASE
BLOCKED.

The alleged plan to prolong in
definitely the cases growing out OF
yesterdays indictment was nlpped by
a court decision in another case. On
the handing UP of the indictment,
Mr.. Woods lawyers were applying
to Federal Judge Knox for permis-
sion to bring an injunction restrain
ing the Department of Justice from
proceeding with it's inquiry, on the
ground that the Lever act was un-
constitutional. II was their plan to
test the Lever act all the way up,
and to halt the trial of Mr. Wood
until the injunction was disposed OF.
Within an hour. however, the
Circuit Court OF Appeals, the Federal
appellate court handed down its de-
cision in the case of c. A. Weed & Co,
Buffalo clothiers, in which it upheld
the constltutionallty Of the Lever act
as a war measure and TIE injunction
motion in the Wood case was
abandoned.
/ At the request OF Mr.. Wood the in
vestigatlon was started last january
under orders from Attorney General
Palmer and Francis p. Garvan Of the
Department Of Justice. Later. said
Mr.. smyth, developments were such
that Mr.. Wood not only refused to aid
the department but actually sought 70
hinder it.
The fourteen counts each charges a
specific act OF profiteering. 1t al
leges in each count that the corporate
defendants and Mr.. Wood, their Pres
ident, did knowingly, wllfully and
unlawfully make an unjust and un-
reasonable rate and charge in han
ding aad dealing with a certain ne
cessary and wearing apparel"

NO ARBITRATION
/. IN HARBOR TIE-UP,
DECLARE SHIP MEN
Hope of Settlement Wanes as
Unions Confer With Mer-
chants to End Dispute.

Statements by ship company omc-
ials and labor leaders just before a
conference on the freight tie-up this
afternoon indicated little hope for a
peaceful settlement Of the disputes
that have paralyzed the merchandise
transportation Of New York. The
labor leaders were for arbitration,
they said, but the only statements
obtainable from the shipping heads
were against It.
Z. r.. Richardson, President Of the
ocean Steamship Line, after saying
that he would not attend the confer
ence, answered a question about ar
bitration ,by saying:
There will be no arbitration.
There is nothing to arbitrate. We
are satisfied the way things are 60
ing. / have sent letter to Col. +. A.
MoliteF, Chairman of the Citizens
Transportation Committee, explaining
the situation"
II. II. Raymond. President Of the
Clyde and Mallory Line, attended the
conference, which was held at the
Merchants Association Headquarters.
The comment was: Absolutely no
arbitration"
II. V. O'Connor, President of the
International Longshoremen's Asso-
citation, with other representatives Of
the unions that have caused the tie
up, attended the conference and an
nounced before entering that they
would make a formal offer to arbi-
trate the wage question,
But O'Cbnnor seemed discouraged
when he was told the reported atti-
tude OF the steamship company heads,
especially that OF Richardson
'Tf he really sticks to that idea, i"
said OConnor, 1--WE will tie up his
Boston line to-rhorrow"
oConnor declared that tho men
never would consent to the open shop
principle, but that is not the main
thing Under discussion. The strike is
for wages.
A copy Of a letter from o'Connor
to the Young Mems Progressive
League of Galveston. Tex, a business
mems organization, was given to the
Citizens Transportation Committee,
which is preparing to establish a
100000 trucking corporation to fight
the unions, if a fight is necessary.
The letter repeats O'Connor's denial
that the unions have violated their
agreements.
1t was stated at the Merchants
Association headquarters that New
York is now almost entirely without
rice, the warehouses having no more
of 1t, the wholesalers having none
and this in spite of the fact that the
Southern Pacific line has 1,O0O,-

also that the docks at Galveston are
so badly crowded that no more rice
will be accepted there at present.
The shortage is emphasized by the
failure OF the Japanese rice crop.
The Public Service CQmmission
met with representatives of the rail-
roads to-day TO figure out new plans
for the re-routing Of freight cars to
relieve the congestion.
J.J. Mantell of the Erie said, among
other things, that New York, is an
export centre now, rather than an
import centre. AS pointed out In The
Evening World, he decided that this
port has lost 40 per cent. Of its ex-
port business in twenty three months,
due principally to labor troubles.
It was the consensus OF opinion that
railroad freight traffic is subnormal,
due to embargoes. The outbound
freight situation, It was stated, IL
hampered by the shortage Of empty
cars. Much apprehension was ex-
pressed over the Memorial Day hon-
days. which were referred to as
double holidays" Seasoned veterans
handling freight traffic said that
labor would not handle freight unless
paid double wages Monday and II no
freight was to be moved 1t would
retard the progress made this week.

ALBANY. May 27.---After discus.

amazing facts concerning food con-
front the city dweller and consumer
At iarge-faots that might be said e

Just where these growing condi-

ing items:
In five counties. namely Put
nam. Dutehess, Albany, Mont
aomery and Oneida, the average
age Of the farmer is over fifty
years.
There are practically no young
men working on the farmS-only
old men and boys, the former in ,
the majority.
Men between sixty and seventy
and boys between fourteen and
seventeen are the principal work.

not in truth be regarded as only
European war, but must be regarded
as a war in which civilization itself
was involved and human rights OF
every kind as against a belligerent
government. Moreover, when we en-
tered the war we set forth very def
initely the purposes for which we en-
tered, partly because we did not wish
to be considered as merely taking
part in European contest.
This joint resolution which return
does not seek to accomplish any OF
these objects, but in effect makes a
complete surrender OF the rights OF
the United States so far as the Ger
man government is concerned. A
treaty of peace was signed at Yer
sailles on the twenty eighth Of June
last which did seek TO accomplish the
objects which we had declared to be
in our minds, because all the great
governments and peoples which
united against Germany had adopted
our declarations OF purpose as their
own and had in solemn form en-
bodied them in communications to the
German government preliminary to
the Armistice Of November IL, 1918.
But the treaty as signed at Yer
sailles has been rejected by the Sen
ate OF the United States though It
has been ratified by Germany.
by that rejection and by its
method we have in effect declared
that we wish to draw apart and pur-
sue objects and interests OF our own,
unhampered by any connections of
interest or of purpose with other
governments and peoples.
Notwithstanding the fact that
upon our entrance into the war we
professed to be seeking to assist in
the maintenance of common inter-
ests, nothing Is said in this resolu-
ton about the freedom of naviga-
ton upon the seas, or the reduction
of .armaments, or the vindication of
the rights OF Belgium, or the retiH-
cation of wrongs done to France, or
the release Of the Christian popula-
tlons OF the Ottoman Empire from
the intolerable subjugation which
they have had for so many genera
tions 10 endure, or the establishment
of an Independent Polish state, OF
the continued maintenance of any
kind of understanding among the
great Powers of the world which
would be calculated to prevent in tn,
future such -outrages as Germany at
tempted, and in part consummated
I'VE have now in effect declarec
that we do not care to take any fur
ther risks or to assume any further
responsibilities with regard to III,
freedom OF nations or the sacrednes
of international obligations or tn
safety of Independent peoples. Sucl
a peace with Germany peace II
which none of the essential interest!
which we had at heart when we en-
tered the war is safeguarded-is, o
ought to be. inconceivable, is incon
sistent with the dignity of tn
United States with the rights an,
liberties of her citizens and with tn
/ very fundamental conditions of civ
iliZation

have sufficiently set forth the rea
sons why have felt II lneumben
