CLUB BISADWSED TO
PUT Up OR SHUT Up
Congressman Says Monday
Evening Organization Should
Show Its Dollars.

The Monday Evening, Club, which
is championing the cause OF pawn
brokers In the District of Columbia.
again came up for criticism today
before the House District subcommit-
tee that Ia considering measures to
increase the rate OF interest TO keep
Washington pawnbrokers from being
run out OF business.
Former District Commissioner w.
Gwynn Gardiner took several caustic
fiings at the "philanthropists" OF the
Monday Evening Club. and Congress
man Focht. chairman of the sub
committee. expressed the opinion that
the club members should talk less
and act more.
CONGRESSMAN Focht said the public
spirited citizens of Chicago have put
into successful operation an organ
ization that lends millions of dollars
to poor persons at one per cent In
terest per month.
"If the Monday Evening Club would
talk less about philanthropy and the
benefits OF the pawnbrokers' busi-
ness, and get people to put up their
money, as they did in Chicago. they
Congressman Focht suggested.
Mr.. Gardiner told the committee
that II the Monday Evening Club
members would put up their money
and get the right kind OF business
men TO back them, such a plan would
go through. He said he would be
willing to put up $4,000 of his own
money under any such plan.
Mr.. Gardiner put into the record a
statement by the Fidelity Savings
Bank. OF which Henry p. Blair is
president, concerning a loaning sys-
tern, which has been in successful op-
Grafton for, a number OF years.

Demands are made IN the initial is

act so as to permit the manufacture
and sale OF light wines and beer and
for legislation carrying a bonus for
veterans of the world war.
Tribute is paid the Hearst papers
for the active part they have played
In the fight for the bonus. Under the
caption, "iiye Credit Where Credit Is
Due" Rank and Flo" says:
when that bonus finally arrives
don't forget to give credit where
credit is due.
Senator Gronna OF North Dakota
and Congressman John NJ Baer Of
the same State were the pioneer ad-
vocstes of bonuses for the service
man.
They started the fight when every
body who advocated a bonus was
looked upon as a second story worker
and Treasury looters by the privil-
eyed interests.
"The one years pay bill was intro
duced by Congressman Baer and
Senator Gronna offered the same
measure in the Senate just after the
armistice was signed. They have
worked night and day for the cause
besides using their influence for the
passage OF the North Dakota land and
bonus bills for service men.
ALSO worthy place In the service
mems hall of fame are the Hearst
newspapers. Powerful cartoons and
forcefnl editorials awakened the
American people to the real war debt
which remained unpaid and the long
sustained, sincere campaign has met
the success which comes with pcrso-
verance. Every service man who re-
ceives the benefit of the bonus owes
debt of gratitude to the Hearst
newspapers"

Gardiner declared, "a pawnbroker
certainly should be able 10 lend
money profitabiy at I per cent per
month"
Discussing the general features OF
the various bills before tho subeom-
mittee, Mr.. Gardiner said he was con-
vinced pawnbroksrs do not require
more than per cent interest a month
on chattel loans.
P.wasrsIsrs o. N. Say Police.
Asked about the general reputA-
tions OF the pAwnbrokeTs In Washing
ton Mr.. Gardiner said that the police
told him that the pawnbrokers gave
no trouble. The men who gave the
trouble, according to the police, were
those who loaned money on furniture
and other household articles.
Mr.. Gardiner believed that "barbed
wire entAnglements" should be put
up around the pswnbrokerage busi-
ness In order to project not only the
public, but the other pawnbrokers
who must compete against those who
violate the law at every opportunity.
He said the Dyer bill should be 80
worded that money lenders could get
no more than 3 per cent interest on
the time during which articles are
actually in their possession. He also
said that loans OF over $50 should not
be split, as In this way pawnbrokers
could get around the law by charging
1 per cent on loans under $50.

Fourdney said, that II the bonus bill
Is passed by the House and presented

will be possible to get the legislation

One the one-doilar-a-day plan pro-
posed. the number of men who would
receive the bonus Is estimated at ap-
proximately 100000. The average
amount which would be paid to each
of these men would be based upon
ten months service. making the aver
age bonus approximately $500.
The plan provides for payment OF

J S. Should Initiate MCvement
to Disarm World, Says Daniels

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The United
States, if it does not enter the league
Of nations should initiate move
mcnt looking to an international con-
ference for the reduction Of arma-
ments, Secretary Daniels, Of the
Navy Department, said last night.
If an agreement is not reached by
all nations for such a program, the
secretary added, "the United States
should have navy second to none. >
The question of disarmament also
was discussed in the Senate yestcr-
day Senator Johnson, Republican,
California, declaring that d disarma-
mcnt agreement by the nations VINO
constituted the five allied and asso-
ciatcd powers in the world war would
constitute ''the one great step that
could be taken toward the promotion
Of peace and the prevention OF all
future wars.

last night declared that his naval
estimates recently submitted to
Congress called only for minor YES
sells and expressed approval CT the

in the event that the United States
does not enter the league of nations
or become a party to an internatioa-
al agreement to limit ornaments.
The naval secretary advocated leg
iSlation similar to that in the 1916

thorized President Wilson to appoint
