Warns Workers Not to TRY
TO Solve Irish Problem. as
lit Is Over 100 Years Old

DENVER, June 14.-Blame for the
recent World War was placed squarely
on the shoulders of organized labor in
Germany by President Samuel Com
pers, in an address to the American
Federation of Labor convention here
to-day.
81 hold, and I accept full respon-
slbility for what am about to saw"
said President Gompers, "that the
organized labor movement of Germany
failed dismally at the critical hour.
IF it had taken the situation in
hand it might have meant the destruc-
tios of a few thousands, but it would
have stopped the war. The failure Of
men to act at a time of crisis is faith
lessness to comon cause"
In his address, which was a response
to those of fraternal delegates from
Great Britain and Canada, President
Gompers dwelt upon the attitude of
the Federation and himself, both dur
ing the war and during the period of
reconstruction.
Warning against any agitation that
might disrupt the American labor
! movement, James II. Thomas British
fraternal delegate, told the conven-
tion that it could not solve the Irish
problem.
Problem One Hundred Years Old
"For one hundred years we in Eng
land have been confronted with the
problem of Ireland, and if We at home
cannot solve that problem, let me
ask how do you, 5000 miles away,
expect to solve q" he said. Mr.. Thomas
is president of the International
Federation of Trade Unions.
British labor" Mr.. Thomas contin-
ued, "has always stood and stands now
for liberty. We stand for home rule
for Ireland.
Let me warn you against any agita-
tion that might disrupt your movement
among yourselves. Do not mistake me.
British labor stands for Irish freedom:
the only limitation we insist upon is
that Ireland shall not be allowed to be-
come menace.
For one hundred years the people of
Ireland have been deceived For one
hundred years they have been fed upon
promises-broken promises-by Brit
ish statesmen. Now the Irish people
are looking to you.
~ warn you against trying to create
in theft minds the feeling that you can
solve their difficulties. You can't solve
by passing resolutions this problem
that has existed for the last one hum
dred years"
Mr.. Thomas's remarks Immediately
brought response from Irish sympa-
thizers among the delegates, who de-
manded the right to question, him.

Lipschitz, Who Accused
Marines, Slain in Hayti
Victim Had Testified Agains,
Troops; Natives Made
Death Threats

WASHINGTON, June 14-Harris
Lipschitz, formerly of New York and
an American citizen, has been MUIR
dered in Hayti, according to advices re-
ceived to-day at the office of Repre-
sentative Siegel. Lipschitz was en-
gagged in business on the island, it was
said
A complete investigation has, bean
ordered by Major General Lejeune
commandant of the Marine Corps, in
radiograms, which also directed that
the wife and child of the murdered
man be taken care of.
Lipsehltz went before the naval court
of inquiry investigating charges at
Port au Prince last fall against marines
and appealed unsuccessfully for modi-
fcation of an order by Colonel John E.
Russell, brigade commander, by which
he was not permitted to proceed from
Port au Prince to the interior to look
after farm property.
Because of threats against his life
by Hatians, in connection with pre-
vious land deals, Colonel Russell re-
quired him to remain in the city, hold
ing that as a naturalized American se-
rious trouble might result if he should
be killed.
Lipschitz also testified against the
marines, charging that he saw two
troopers beat woman to death. but it
was established by other witnesses
that she was still alive.

Pay of $4,000
B.R.T.Carnen
To Be Reduced
Receiver Garrison Says Con-
ditions Make 1t I1npossi-
BILE to Continue With the
Present Scale of Wages
Extent of Cut Not Fixed
Prospect Is That Employees
Are Prepared to Accept
Less Than They Get Now

More than 10000 employees of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit system will be
subjected to reduction in wages on
August as q result Of an order issued
yesterday by Lindley NJ Garrison, re-
ceiver for the B. r. T. The cut will not
affect motorlnen of the rapid transit
lines who are members. of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers. These
are under a separate agreement, which
does not expire until the end of this
year.
The extent Of the reduction was not
announced yesterday. At the offices of
the B.. r. r. it was said that at the
present time it is indefinite, and would
be determined after preliminary dis
cussion between officials of the COM
pany and representatives of the men
from the companys union.
Garrison'a Letter
The announcement Of the reduction
was contained in letter written by
Mr.. Garrison to William S. Mende, the
general manager Of the B. r. T., which
read:
you will recall that in my notice to
employees, dated July 16, 1920, made
the most recent increase in rates of
pay practically upon an arnual basis,
This became effective on August g.
1920. That increase, added to previous
increases, amounted to 35 per cent
above the rates in effect August 1, 1919.
"Owing to conditions which need not
be recited it is obvious that we can
no longer continue at the present high
scale. I have abstained in view of the
circumstances from making any reduc-
tions until the lapse Of q year from
the time Of the last increase. That
year will be up August 6, 1921. The
time has now come when this mattei
must be taken up, and / wish that
you would in due course confer with
order that a proper basis may be ar
ranged for the wage scale after Au-
gust 6, 1921" e~
1t was said yesterday that General
Manager Mende has conferred with rep.
resentatives Of the various branches
of the company's employees organi-
xation, which was formed after the
Amalgamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees was de.
feated in the strike on the 3. r. T
system year ago. At the conclusion
of that strike the men signed an an,
nouncement that they had severed con.
nection with the Amalgamated before
they were admitted to the company's
union.
Employees to Meet
The indications, it was said, are
that the men will accept the reduc.
ton, despite the fact that the amour,
of the reduction is not yet known
Meetings will be held to discuss the
situation.
Motormen and conductors of the
streetcar systems of the B. r. T. are
receiving from $307s to $36.lS for .
siX-day week of fifty-four hours. Ele.

paid from $28.62 to S33.4S on the same
basis.

Federal Probe
Is Begun Into
W ar Contracts
Activities of the Scores
of Profteers Will Be
Investigated at the Direc-
ton Of President Harding
Haywood in Charge Here
Will Cooperate With the
Lockwood Committee and
Reorganize His Forces
From, The Tribune's Washinoton Bssreau


WASHINGTON, June 14.-Prcpara-
tions are under way at the direction
of President Harding and under the
personal supervision of Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty "to even the score"
with those who made large fortunes
through unfair war contracts.
Following information that leaked
out of the Cabinet meeting to-day, Mr..
Daugherty revealed that he has had a
large force working for several weeks
on this Investigation Of the activities
Of scores Of war profteers.
That the Administration believes
forcing those who took advantage OF
the government and the people dur
ing the war to "settle in full" is one
OF its first and most binding duties
was the emphatic declaration Of the
Attorney General. One of the best
lawyers and prosecutors in the United
States is being sought by President
Harding to take over active direction
of this work. 1t was intimated to-day
that his appointment may pe an
nounced soon.
~ am creating an organization as
rapidly as judgment and energy will
permit" said Attorney General Daugh-
erty. "There are those who during the
war made millions of dollars unfairly
and unpatriotically. They took cow
ardly advantage Of the government
and the people when they We're arming
for the fighting through the greatest
emergency the Republic has ever
faced.
"We believe it is one of our greatest
duties to make them settle if they are
found liable. We are not going after
the minnows, but the big fellows. If
any minnows are caught in the net
they probably will be thrown back
But the big fellows must pay up and
even the score, and we believe we are
going to get some of them"
Mr. Daugherty declared the reports
made by the special investigating COM
mittees of Congress will form part of
the basis upon which the Administra-
tons operations will begin. The ex-
haustive data taken, particularly by
gated war expenditures, have been
turned over TO the Department of JUS
tice and are expected TO be found in
valuable in building up cases.
United States District Attorney Hay
wood is IN complete charge of the gov
ernment's activities in this line in New
York. He already has made two trips
to Washington to discuss with the At
torney General ways and means of
bringing in certain overnight New
York millionaires, and will return
next Thursday for another conference.
II have instructed very courageous
and capable man in whom 1 have abso-
lutte confdence-Mr. Haywood--to be-
gin work on the New York phase of the
investigation" said Mr.. Daugherty
"He will be in complete charge OF the
departments activities there and will
cooperate with the so-called Lockwood
committee and all other similar things
connected with it.
"He will reorganize his force in order
to accomplish our aims, but it will, of
course, take a little time to bring this
