NEW YORK, Aug. II (spl)--A strike
OF the steel workers. in which the allied
industries and railroad workers will
take part. and which is destined TO
paralyze the steel industry, is predicted
by William u. Foster secretary ana
treasurer of the national committee FOR
organizing steel workers, In his new
book. THE Great Steel Strike and It's
Lessons" which Is just off the press.
Foster says the next struggle Of the
steel unions against the United states
Steel corporation will be launched In a
year or two. He does not give the
exact date, but he says II will follow

which began last September and whlch
dragged along until January, was in
position 10 know inside conditions Of
that unsuccessful walkout, and he free
" shares this knowledge with his read

and attributes II to lack OF complete
organization, insufficient funds ana

NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS
FORM POTATO EXCHANGE

FARGO, N, D., Aug. II. (By Interna-
tional News Service)-Farmers of North
Dakota are organizing a potato ex7
change. II is modelled after the Michi-
gan Potato Growers exchange, CO.
operative organization which, in 1919,
handled $4,000 carloads of potatoes for
Michigan farmers. at the surprisingly
low cost of $4,000. These potatoes were
sold for $4,000, 900. The actual selling
cost was less than l per cent, or less
than cents a bushel. The Michigan
exchange not only heduced the market
ing costs, but raised the selling price.
Potatoes have become an important
crop in North Dakota in recent years,
and potato growers of the state ex-
pect to put their business on a more
prosperous basis by adopting the CO.
operative marketing methods of the
Michigan farmers.

compared with the tremendous battles
that are bound to come unless the en- :
shaved steel workers are set free"
Mr.. Foster says that the strikers were
aided by prohibition which enabled
them to save their money, assisted
them in their councils by keeping them
clear headed and operated against VIC
lence resulting from drunkenness.
Foster declares that after the strike
was won" by the capitalists the work
ers were driven back ITO the old sla
very-the infamous peonage system,
with its 12-hour day, which American
steel workers, OF all those in the world
alone have to endure" He says that
the industry lis hard and fast in the
grip OF absentee capitalists who take
no part in production and whose sole
function Is TO seize by hook or crook
the product Of the Industry and con-
sumo II" and that therefore collective
bargaining and the shorter working day
is denied.
The book gives the number OF work
ers actually enrolled by the national
committee between Aug. /, 1919, and
Jan. 81, 1920, as 250.o although the
number actually out during the strike
was $4,000 greater. The iron, steel and
tin workers, so classified, are placed at
70,02s. The list published. 1t is de-
clared. includes only SO or so per cent
of the total number Of steel workers
organized during the campaign, being
confined to those who had forwarded
their 81 initiation fee to the national
committee. Nothing Is said OF how
many remain organized today.

FOUR PER GENT. BEER EXPECTED
 ID COME SOON

According to Thomas F. Fitzsim- mons, secretary of the Connecticut Retail Liquor Dealers association, soon after the peace treaty is approv- ed by Congress, he believes four per cent. beer will be made. MT. Fitz- simmons is not a little encouraged by the statement of one of the Penn sylvania congressman, MT. Ware, that he should try and have the enforce ment act so amended during the next Congress, that beer and light wines might be manufactured.
 f'Mr. Ware is to include five per cent. beer in his bill, but in this state we would be content to have four per cent. beer," said Secretary Fitzsim- mons.
 And that is what expect we will get after Congress passes the treaty four per cent beer.''
 Secretary Fitzsimmons said the United States Supreme Court was to take up the Rhode Island case de- c1aring the prohibition amendment unconstitutional, on March 12, and he believed the courts action would be favorable to the Rhode Island meas ure.
 He said no meeting of the state association would be called until after the decision in the Rhode Island case and then, in all probability, both the state association and the local liquor dealers would meet and consider the entire situation.

LIGHT FINES FOR MAKING LIQUOR ID
 USE RI HOME

Stating that he did not believe that the imposing of a heavy penalty on men who had violated the liquor law for the first time would tend to de- crease the number of violations to any great extent, Judge Thomas at the opening of the United States District Court yesterday dealt leniently with several of the accused who faced the court charged with violating the Eighteenth Amendment
 The judge said: tfI believe that many of these violations particularly those where men are charged with making liquor in their own home are technical violations and that the i'm" posing of stiff fines will not to any great extent reduce the number ot vilations We impose a severe sen tence for murder but this does not to any noticeable degree reduce the number of murders. If it is Shown that any man brought before the court has manufactured liquor for the purpose of selling it I most certainly shall impose a severe penalty bu' when a man makes it for his own con- sumption I think that giving him a fair deal will leave him disposed to treat the government more fairly thar he would be inclined to if imposed a stiff fne.'

NEW HAVEN MAY
 COMBINE WITH
 PENNA. SYSTEM
T. J. Pearson Expected to Become Head of E. H.
 Railroad,

New Haven, Feb. 25.---The proposed consolidation of the New Haven road with the Pennsylvania railroad Sys- tenn and Aother central states lines is forecast in the announcement from Chicago that the Pennsylvania will be cut up into four great divisions on the return of the road to private manage ment on March 1. W. W. Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania and one of the directors of the United States railroads in France during the war, is said to have told the men who run the Pennsylvania that unless they got in some young blood" the rail- road would die of "dry rot.'
 The proposed divisional points un- der the consolidated system would be PhiIad elphia, Chicago, St. Louis ant Pittsburgh.
 E. J. Pearson will return as presi dent of the New Hav"~ road when the railroads are returned to private own ership, and D. G. Buckland, now president of the corporation, will re sume his former place as vice presi- dent and chief counsel. This plan is one of those already settled in regard to the return of the roads. It is gen eraIly believed that the other Fzec- utive positions will be maintained as they were before the governments experiment in rai1road1ng was started. l Meetings of directors of the var f ious New Haven subsidiaries are now
 under way and will be during the remainder of the week. Ontario and Western directors are meeting in New
 York today and directors of the Cen tral New England will meet at the l Yellow building here on Saturday of l this week. These subsidiaries will drop easily into the former status
 when the official word comes to l change owners again.
 The present passes, issued as by the New Haven road instead of the !railroad administration, were arrang-
 ed for as far back as last January The fact that these passes are in use is not a certain indication of the re-
 turn of the roads. The necessary Legislation for the change has beer passed since the passes were frst ordered.

EXPECT CONN. RADICALS TO BE
 ON BOARD ARK

The return of the Buford, the Sow jet Ark, to New York, and the fact that radicals are being forwarded to Ellis Island from points in the West leads to the assumption that there will soon be another movement of Reds overseas in the deportation proceed ings. No official information has been received in Hartford of plans for an immediate shipment of undesirable aliens, but officials in the Depart ment of Justice there are of the opin- ion that the order to arrange for the transportation of the Connecticut Reds from Hartford to New Y ork will come soon.
 Since Bloody Friday November ', the first roundup of the radicals was made in Hartford and other points in Connecticut, 205 members of the Union All Russian Workers and Peasants and Communists have been taken and held by the federal agents and have been given hearings by the inspectors from the bureau of im- migration in Boston. or these, 53 were sent overseas on the Buford, more than 20 per cent. of the total deported from the country having been taken through the efforts of the agents in Connecticut There are now 90 at the Hartford county jail, a total of 62 having been released on bah. having proyided Liberty bonds as security for this appearance when wanted by the federal authorities.

 This remarkable man, Daniel De- foe, who gave to the world one of its lasting books, was the son of a London butcher. He was born prob ably about 1859. It was the Jacobite plot against William III. that brought forth Defoe's first pamphlet G691), "A New Discovery of an Old In trigue.'' He made what Uncle Sam would call Ca hit.'' And he saw his opportunity. He devoted himself mainly to politics.
 He wrote with great force from the very first. His pamphlet ~The True Born Englishman'' (17o1) was a sa- tire on the hybrid Anglo-Saxon's de- spite of the Dutch king. After the ac- cession of Queen Anne, Defoe for a time turned his attention to the Whig cause, and upheld it.

When Daniel Defoe, the celebrated author of "Robinson Crusoe" died, and was buried in Bunhin Fields, London, 900 school children ot Great Britain gave their precious shillings and pence to raise the monument to the author of their fla yorite, to Defoe. The monument stands over his grave.
 On this date. in 17o3, the genius Daniel Defoe, was prosecuted as the author of a book called ''The Short est Way with the Dissenters," and the hook was burned by order Of the queen, and by the public hangman.
 Now, the pamphlet had morta1ly displeased Queen Anne's Tory govern ment and it brought the wrath of the government down upon Defoe's head. Not only was Defoe convicted Of seditious libel, fined stood times in
