SUNKEN TREA-
SURE RECOVERED
Denver News.


Some time ago it was announced
that an effort would be made by an
English company organized for the
purpose to raise some of the vessels
sunk by German submarines, or where
this could not be done, to enter them
and obtain money or other treasure
or property not injured by water. Ger
tain American inventions were expect
ed to be used in the enterprise. one
mentioned at the time being new
diving apparatus whereby the water
pressure was much lessened making
it possible to go to lower depths than
formerly.
Whether or not this contrivance has
operated as expected is not stated but
already these salvage operations have
1t IS said, resulted in the recovery of
$3.50 100000 of treasure from the bot
tom of the sea round about the Brit
ish Isles. No ships have been raised
but two vessels bought by the British
company from the American navy are
engaged in salvage work and are
equipped with new device, an exya-
cetylene flame that can be worked un-
der water and is used for cutting holes
in the sides of submerged vessels.
From one sunken vessel alone 5,OOO,-
600 In gold was recovered.
The salving ships are equipped with
the latest seachlights, line throwing
guns, hosting machinery, rock drills
and all the devices available for such
service. The field of operations is
great, for it is estimated that 14,Oo0,-
900 tons of shipping were sunk by
enemy action during the war.

MORE ABOUT THE
DELHI "MOVY''

The bond sales are very encourag-
ing. One little bit of explanation
seems necessary to answer the ques-
ton. "Where does the money go ?"
The money over and above expenses
goes to the treasury of the district to
be used as the people and the school
board wish it used. 1t goes to reduce
your tax rate directly or should it
be used for improvement it would
mean an indirect lowering of the tax
rate. 1t is easy to see that any nee
essary addition of equipment paid for
by movy fund would be a saving to
the tax payer. The equipment itself
is valuable and is gradually becoming
school property by our paying off
bonds from money taken in from the
moving picture show. When all bonds
are paid the moving picture equipment
becomes school property.
Let me make clear once for all that
no one is to get rake Off or is
to get a profit from the money taken
in for the show. The services of peo-
pie who help with the work is to be
given willingly for the good of the
people of the community. One Of our
bankers will or our treasurer will be
ticket salesman and take care of the
funds. Our books will be open for in
spection at the bank. This explana-
tion is given to avoid unfair criticism
and unjust censorship of those who
SO generously contributed their SER
vices for the welfare of the commu-
nifty. Ii man, woman or child gives
services for no charge to the commu-
nifty, to help make it better place to
live in, that person is due at least re-

THE NEWSPAPER AND THE
TRUTH

We are ct much disturbed over
hectic criticisms Of certain pub
LEGATIONS which have their being
because Of minority class support.
It has been said that the oldest
instinct is that Of self-preservation
the next oldest is sex instinct, and
after that the news instinct-a
fact which, without going through
the evolutionary history of the
process, we may hold, explains the
presence Of the modern newspaper
the agency which responds to the
demand created by this ancient
instinct to know things and the
truth about them.

sperlorism: you can't believe
what YOU hear in the newspapers

is not controlled by folly or senti-

UNION OWNED
 SHOPS FIGHT
 PR0FITEERINC

NEW YORK, July 26 (by Associated Press). ).-Profiteering in the women's garment industry will be fought with union owned shops, factories and stores by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.
 This became known here today when officials of the union announced that it has a committee at work lay ing the foundation for the first group of union owned factories, which are expected to be in operation next spring.
 These factories are to be estab. lished, according to Benjamin Schles inger international president, to dem, onstrate that the workers can be paid first-class wages, work less hours and enjoy better working conditions than they are now getting and reap a reasonable profit" from their product and still sell it considerable under the regular market price.
 The union proposes to sell it's out put to consumers through their own stores.
 The first group of six factories will be established in New York, together with a number of union stores, union officials said. Others will be located in Chicago and Philadelphia.
 Ample funds for the factories have been provided by the international union. MT. Schlesinger said, and later as more money is needed union shop and factory assessments" will De levied to finance the project until il is on a paying basis.
 "We expect to be turning out med ium and high priced garments for the spring trade" A. Baroff, secretary of the union said. "The first factories will probably employ about 1000 work CTS to be selected by the union" They will pay higher wages than are 'pa1o by employers in the garment industry and a seven-hour day will be in effect he added The workers now work ar eight hour day with a half holiday or Saturday.
 The local unions of the Ladies' Gar ment Workers, according to MT. Bar off, are also taking steps on their owr initiative to defeat the high cost o1 living by establishing cooperative res taurants and stores. A number O. stores have been started in New York and restaurant is being operated by unions in Philadelphia, he said.

AMERICAN MADE ADDING
 MACHINES CUTTING IN ON PROFITS OF THE GERMANS

BERLIN, July A (by Associated Press).-German manufacturers of adding machines are appealing to the government for assistance in their fight to prevent the importation of American made machines which they claim now are superflous, as the German industry is capable of SUD- plying the home demand.
 Action has been, precipitated by the application of a well-known American firm through it's Berlin branch for permission to import 1,700 adding ma chimes to meet the German demand until the American firm has com pleted its local branch factory.
 The German manufacturers have addressed joint appeal to the min-- istry of economics demanding inforce- ment of the existing import embargo and requesting that wholesale impor- tation should be prohibited.
 The Vorwaerts declares that, while the German working man does not desire to be placed under the dom- ination of American capital the pres ent action by the German makers is undignified and not in keeping with the German efficiency which has, al- ways been able to assert itself in the comnetitiya markets ovon uyhnu ~i+fad against American enterprise.

NEW RENT LAW
 FAILS TO STOP
 PR0FITEERlNC

NEW YORK, July 26 (by Associat- ed Press).-The new state rent laws are in effective and have not deterred profiteering landlords from continuing ,rent gouging assaults on thousands of tenants in New York City, according to Leo Kenneth Mayer, chief counsel for the mayors committee on rent profiteering.
 The landlords are adopting diverse methods to circumvent the new laws, MT. Mayer declared and have been successful to a certain extent.
 The three chief lodges employed by the landlords as outlined by Counsel Mayer are to:
 Notify tenants that their lease will not be renewed unless they are will ing to pay exorbitant rentals. It they refuse to meet this increase the tenants are then busted by due pro- cess of law.
 Notify tenants that the premises have been sold on the cooperative plan but offer to sell them the apart ment, if they will pay the exorbitant sum asked.
 Show a higher valuation on their property by alleged sales and thus p able to extract higher rental.
 The first method, according to MT. Maher, is the most popular but is rather slow as it takes one month to one year to legally evict tenant.
 The cooperative selling plan, he de- clared, was one of the new inventions of the landlord to exploit the tenant.
 The transferring of property on the pretense of making bona fide sale and thus increasing the valuation of the premises is one of the latest dodges, MT. Mayer explained. By this method the landlord "sells' to a rela- tive or business partner, then "buys" the property back again and thus runs up the valuation, which will command a higher rental under the state laws.
 The entire legal staff of the rent committee has been placed at the dis posal of tenants in their fight against the rent profiteer. Landlords who are inclined to be fair are meeting their tenants in the offices of the com- mittee and are arranging new leases with their tenants on definite terms.
 The rent committee which has been in operation for 15 months has handled 10000 cases of which 62,000 have been settled in and out of cort. Of the remaining cases, 5000 are list -sd as hopeless and no settlement pos- sible.
 There is a constant flood of com plaints into the committees office, which is visited by about 5000 tenants every week.
 The committees office staff of seven, according to Mr. Maher handles more than 2,000 complaints by mail besides from 200 to 300 tele- phone calls
 The committee which is maintained as a municipal department is making an investigation of these claims and furnishing legal talent free of charge to all worthy cases.
