INTERNATIONAL
 BOARD DEALS WITH UNFAIR TRADERS

Washington, Jan. 22.-Creation of an international trade commission to deal with those who seek a world monopoly and are in position to in jure not only the consumers of their own country, but those in foreign na- tions as well, was recommended by Huston Thompson, of the Federal Trade Commission, in an address to- day before the Second Pan-American Financial Conference.
 Complaints should come through national trade commissions, MT. Thompson said, and each cause tried before representatives of the interna- tional body not belonging to the na- tion whose citizens were involved in the litigation.
 fair trade practice before this com mission could be found in the trade practices. already condemned by the laws of manX nations, both ancient and modern" MT. Thompson said 'tthe rulings of the respective trade commissions, the trade practice sub- initial lists, sucn as our commis- sions has already received from some of our industries the pronouncements of political economists, and above all in the common sense of those before whom the case was presented dILel investigation and hearing.
 ] 'In the universal publicity of the | findings of such a body would lie 1T the corrective.
 ''I have been asked who could DO 1 lice the committing of the offenses | The answer is the same as in our do

 A national trade mark, establishes

 MT. Thompson. Failure on the par
 of an exporter to deliver goods of tn

FIRE DESTROYS OLD ''ST. LOUIS"
 IN NAVY YARD
Steamship Served In Two Wars As Cruiser and
 Transport.

New York, Jan. 22.-The passenger steamship St. Louis, with a record of having served with distinction through two wars in which the Unit ed States was a belligerant, and in the interval carrying passengers across the Atlantic under the Ameri- can flag, is now a blackened hull, the victim of a fire started-by a painters torch.
 The big ship was being recondition- ed at ship yard for service after her second honorable discharge from the "colors'' when the accident took place Her owners the American Line, say she can be repaired, but it will mean practically rebuilding her and it is a task of many months The St. Louis was christened by Mrs. Grover Cleveland. The recon struction and launching was an epoch in American shipbuilding. It was the first ocean greyhound to be | built in this country. She made he~ 1 first voyage in June of 1895. Under a 1 contract with the American govern | ment she was entrusted with the fast mail of England and Europe. | Under command of Captain w. 1 Goodrich, U. S. N, she was equipped l with heavy guns as an auxiliary cruis- i CT in the Spanish-American war. Her l first adventure of note was when she was ordered to cut the cable between 1 Santiago de Cuba and Kingston, Ja- | maica. Running up until she was 1 under the direct fire of the guns of Morro Castle, American gunners sent l back shot for shot and succeeded n | silencing all but the mortar batteries of the fortifcation, while sailors were
 fishing out and cutting the cable line.
 On June IS, 1898. she captured the
 British freighter Twickenham which
 was taking a cargo of coal into San-
 tiago presumably to be used for the
 Spanish fleet. She was off that port
 when Admiral Cervera made his dast . for the open sea, and she brought = Portsmouth, N. H., the captured
 Spanish Admiral and TAG members ot the crew of his defeated fleet
 In 1917 when the United State
 joined the war against Germany, the
 St. Louis was one of the first Ameri
 can passenger ships to be armed ana
 to defy the German submarines ant l mines. She had many narrow es
 capes, and once was actually hit ,!
 a torpedo but without serious dam
 age She carried to and from Franc
 thousands of American soldiers ant she was one of the last ships to D.
 released from war duty to return t
 pursuits of peace.

HACCARD SAYS
 MIDDLE CHASSIS
 ON ROAD TO RUIN

London, Jan. 22-Sir H. Rider Haggard, the author, believes the mid de classes of England are on the road to ruin" This opinion he ex- pressed in letter to the general secretary of the Middle Classes Union, regretting that other work prevented him from assuming the presidency of a branch of the union.
 q sympathize fully with your movement" he wrote. ''The middle classes, by which I take to mean all beneath the rank of Peers who do not actually earn their living by the work of their hands are, without doubt on the road to ruin. Owing principally, or at any rate very large ly to the incredible expense of rearing and educating children their birth rate is decreasing in a most alarming fashion and probably is now exceeded by their deathrate."
 He declared that against these classes the profiteer is given a free hand and that under pretence of a nebu1ous Anti-Dumping Bill, they are now threatened with the loss of the blessings of free trade which alone kenables many with fixed, or dwindling incomes, to live at all." He said that only combination to protect them selves and their interests could save them
 eff the middle classes remain dis united and in consequence are bullied and plundered to death, as happened to the Curiales before the fall of the Roman Empire, I am sure that with | them will disappear the wealth anc the ancient greatness of our country, he concluded.

 The next question was: What problems, if any. are presented along the above lines with respect to wine throughout the United States?"
 To this he replied: "The problems in relation to wine in this connec- tion are quite similar to those of spirits. It Is not probable, however, that the wine makers will suffer as complete loss as the owners of spirits Wines may be de-alcoIized and legally sold. This is being done to some ex. tent. Wines may also be sold under the National Prohibition Act for sac- ramental purposes, and for certain nonbeverage purposes. As an fndi- cation Of the volume and extent of wine manufacturing in the United States, you are advised that during the last fiscal year tax was collected on wines in the amount of $10,520,- 609.14.

LABOR
 SUIT Is WON BY SILVER COMP ANY
Case, An Aftermath of Fla. nous Meriden Strike,
 Pending For Years.

Judge Edwin L. Garvin, in 8 de- cision handed down in the United States district court, sustains the de- murrer of the International Silver company, of iMeriden, thereby deciding a nice point in the alleged violation of the contract labor law. Suit was brought against the company by fed eral authorities several years ago for bringing contract labor into the United
 States. The company, in its demurrer, claims that the persons hired, George c. Pearson, George c. Pearson, Jr., and Mrs. George c. Pearson, were not hired by contract and brought to Mer- iden from outside the United States,
 but that they applied for the work, and secured 1t. The decision is of in terest in labor circles particularly in
 it's application to the provisions of the act to regulate the migration of aliens
 into the United States.
 The complaint against the company
 alleged that on or about April A. 1916,
 the Pearsons, acting upon and in-
 duced and solicited by the implied and
 expressed promises of employment,
 migrated from Springhill, Nova Sco- tia, and entered the United States, and~that by means of such promises
 the company knowingly assisted, en- couraged and solicited the migration
 and importation of aliens into the United States"
 The company, in it's demurrer. con- tended that the Pearsons were not contract 1aiborers, inasmuch as they
 had not been induced or solicited to migrate to this country by offers of employment or in consequence of oral or written agreements; that their transportation was not paid, nor the importation in any way encouraged ! within the meaning of the alien act Letters were produced to show that Mrs. Pearson and her husband sought through letter, employment in the fac i tory in Meriden, and that letter was sent to her assuring her that she would be supplied with employment when she applied. Mrs. Pearson, who was a hand burnisher, also, was un- able to come at the time and she was given assurance by the company that a place would be held open for her when she did come.
 In consequence of the correspond ence, George Pearson entered the em- ploy of the company, but on the day after he arrived he left, finding that there was @ strike in the factory, of
 which he had not been informed. This portion of the complaint is an after
 math of the famous strike in the fac tory. several years ago, which was | only settled through the efforts of for
 mef- Congressman Thomas L. Reilly after three years.

 The Connecticut Society of Social Hygiene has been at work in the state since 1910. It has done an
 
 since pr. Valeria H. Parker became field secretary in 1916. During that time the change in public sentime ent has been revolutionary. In the early I years the society had to contend 1 with the conspiracy of silence which has brought about 8 tradition ] that it was more shameful to speak | of prostitution and venerea1 diseases 1 than to tolerate these things. Even | before the war this tradition was be- 1 ing broken through, but it was the | war and the work of the United ! States government in combating l venereal diseases that aroused the | whole country to their dangers and ! the need of education in regard to 1 them.
 Since the war much Of the work formerly done by the United States Public Health Service and the army
 and navy departments has devolved on state authorities and voluntary or ganizations, and to the American Hygiene Association has fallen the | duty of continuing the educational | work begun during the war. It is
 now the object of the Connectic cut
 Society of Social Hygiene to form closer relations with the American l Association, in order to unify the
 work and to make available the

FOOD PARCEL GIFTS ARRIVEN
 BAD SHAPE

Berlin, Jan. 22-Food parcel gifts fl rom Americans to friends in Ger many continue to arrive in a spoiled condition, this being especially the case with ham, sausage and other perishable commodities. It is a re- suit of either inferior production or careless packing.
 Very often purified meat infects other contents of a parcel and as a result joy over the receipt of a pack age quickly resolves itself into gloom as the recipient discovers the condi- tion of food articles sent to him.
 If relief work is to continue along national lines, it is obvious tha; Herbert Hoover's warehouse plan Is the only feasible method of avoiding disappointments growing out of the present method of indiscriminate and uncontrolled shipments.
