Bootlegger's Wife Registers
Protest With Well Aimed
Culinary Missiles.

SOMERVILLE. N. j., Aug. 2o.-A
handful Of biscuits, hurled with un'
erring Workmanship late yesterday
afternoon, upset the equanimity OF
Judge Frank Cleary's court here when
Mrs. Kate Pontus, of Manville, N. j.,
protested against a 800 fine imposed
upon her husband for Illegally selling
liquor.
Michael Pontus, accompanied by his
wife, who carried their lunch in a
large paper bag, arrived early In the
court to await the calling of his case
Throughout the forenoon session Mike
was repeatedly cautioned by his better
half not to be foolish and do the first
thing the court ordered.
Even these judges someti0Aes don I

After listening to the ev Zee in
Pontus' case Judge Cleary tdered
that he pay a fine of 500. Fl letting
the advice of his wife, Ponti1, with.
out protest, moved over to the clerk
desk and prepared to unburden his
pocketbook. He reckoned, however

She was speaking before he was

clerk and two court attendants, failed
In an attempt to silence her.
A sharp call for order from the
bench was met with a fusillade OF the
contents from Mrs. Pontus' lunch bag
The court clerk looked up from a bis
cult which had landed butter side
down among his papers to see Mrs.
Pontus selecting another similar mis-

the second biscuit was not wasted on
him. 1t went to a court attendant

curacy.
Before order was restored in the
court the lunch bag was empty and
half dozen persons were removing
misplaced butter from their eyes.
Judge Cleary ordered Mrs. Pontus
imprisoned at once in the county Jail
for contempt OF court, but later d.
rected her release when Sheriff Conk.

attempt to remove her to the Jail she
had almost torn the clothing from

ARMY BOMBERS
HELP NAVY GET
PLANE CARRIERS
Quick Destruction of Battle.
ships Prove Aircraft Neces-
sary Adjunct.
BY T. NJ. SANDIFER,
international News Service.

The navy was elated today over the
report OF the joint army navy board
which studied the results of the aerial
bombing Of naval war craft and held
that the battleship is still the major
sea fighting weapon.
An early request for Appropriations
for aircraft carriers for the navy Is
expected to be the first result Of the
official report of the tests.
Aircraft Worth Respected.
While highly pleased that the board
upheld the convictions of most naval
men that the battleship is the main
reliance at sea, there Is no disposition
on the part of navuI officials to dis
parage the powers OF the airmen.
at Is a good report" said Acting
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt. 1T
should be borne in mind, however
that II gives the aviators full credit
for what they did"
Brigadier General Mitchell, assist
ant chief OF the army air service, was
not in town when the report was Is
sued, and therefore no comment was
forthcoming from him on the results OF
the controversy which he stirred up
with the aid OF former Secretary Of
the Navy Daniels.
Naval aviation officers were pleased
that the report called for the fullest
possible development" OF both naval
and military aviation, and set at
work drafting a program for naval
aviation for presentation to the gen.
eral board and to Congress.
New Argument for Carriers.
The emphasis laid on the necessity
OF mobility of aircraft at sea by the
Joint board, was Immediately seized
upon by the navy men as an argu.
ment in favor OF new appropriations
for aircraft carriers, an adjunct OF
naval warfare in which this nation is
now sadly lacking.
Army aviation officials hope that
the findings OF the report may be
somewhat offset by new bombing
tests which are to be made on the
battleship Alabama, for which the
army is now preparing.
The report, while official. is still
the subject of a great deal of indlvid.
ual controversy. and IL is expected that
the lively row over the relative merits
OF the battleship and aircraft will be
reopened when Congress gets TO con.
sideration of the finding OF the board.

BALL RENT ACT
GETSFAVORAbLE.
REPORT|NH HOUSE
Extension of Law Will Prob
ably Be Voted on
Tuesday.

Expressing the hope that there will
be no further need of a rent law after
May Of next year, Congressman Wood
ruff Of Michigan, before the House
District Committee, today submitted a
favorable report on the Ball Rent Act,
passed by the Senate this week.
The report states that the need for
the extension of the rent act after
October % next is augmented by the
fact that the Disarmament Conference
will meet here in November, and that
other Governmental activities would
open the way, IL the law was not con.
tinued for unreasonable rental
charges.
1T is hoped that by May the prin-
ciples of supply and demand will to
some extent result in more equitable
rental charges" says the report.
The bill is now before the House,
and it's early passage is predicted.
Efforts are being made to have the
bill brought up for consideration Mon
day. II this is done a vote may be
taken Tuesday.

Morrison Declares Unemploy-
ment IL Result Of Conspiracy
To Force Down Wages.
BY MILDRED NORRIS.
International News Service.

Frank Morrison. secretary OF tho
American Federation OF Labor. today
declared the nationwide unemploy.
ment now prevailing is ''the most
gigantic and widespread lockout Of
wage.earners in the history Of the
country"
Its a lock-out-you can't call 1t
anything else" Mr.. Morrison said.
tits a deliberate shutting out Of
labor to starve 1t into submission even
IL the country goes to ruin.
Charges Conspiracy.
IF Congress wants to know why
approximately six million workers are
out of employment. as the Secretary
of Labor estimates. let IT investigate
the gigantic conspiracy to crush or
ganlzed labor by financial interests
with an 'iron-and-blood' policy that
would do credit to the Kaiser and his
crew. Rule or ruin Is the slogan of
these interests. They are cold
bloodedly starving women and chill
dren, and they intend to keep bust
ness depressed until they have the
workers submitting to lower wages
and working standards"
Immediate action by the Admins
tration to relieve the unprecedented
unemployment conditions will be de-
manded by the executive council of
the federation when 1t meets in At
lantic City August 22 for a two
weeks session, IL was learned.
Secretary Of Labor Davis in his re-
port to Congress dealt only with the
number Of unemployed" said Morri-
son. He did not estimate the mil
lions more who are employed only on
partial time, earning just enough to
keep body and soul together.
Time to Wake Up.
up before it is too late. That is labor's
warning. The failure of a large ele-
ment to awaken to the grim situation
that confronts the country is I'm strik-
ing contrast to their attitude when
ever a group of wage-earners volun-
tary suspends work to enforce better
living conditions. 1t is all right for
Big Business to lock out the workers.
but is all wrong when the workers eN-
ercise their right to strike to elevate
their living standard.
IT'S astounding that Congress
should think anything as Important
right now as legislation to provide
Jobs for the millions of joblsss anx.
ious TO labor. It's idle to talk about
business revival while nearly o.Oo0,o'O
men and women are out OF employ
ment and millions more are making
starvation wages. With the put'
chasing power OF these millions either
cut off entirely or reduced to q
minimum there can be no return to
normally.
Control Of Credit.
IAN after effect of the war Is the
control of credit by private financiers.
The American Federation OF Labor
has declared that credit is inherently
social and that it should be n gov
eminent function operated for the
benefit OF the people. AS now ad
ministered it permits financial agen
cies to levy d toll upon the people
as high as the traffic will beat"
