H. S. Hired Girls
Wage Rate High
Spanish Girls Receive from IS to $40
Month Compared With the $50
of merican Girls.

Madrid.-Ameericans accustomed to
paying their ordinary "hired girls" $50
or more a month for general house
work will be interested to learn that
Spanish domestics are forming labor
organization to enforce demand for
an increase that will bring their wag-
es up to the equivalent of SIS or even
$40 month Cooks, parlormaids,
kitchenmaids, wet nurses, and general
help have united in movement not
only for higher wages but an eight
hour day. This may look ridiculous
in America but it is serious business
for the Spaniards. They are accus-
toned to paying their hired girls the
equivalent normally of about 81 a
month and requiring them to be on
duty from early in the morning to
late at night, or even until one o'clock
the following morning. The servant
girls of Spain usually are allowed a
half day off each month The eight
hour day proposal hits the househald-
er hardest. One newspaper satirically
asks, GLOW will baby get on if the wet
nurse decline to perform her duties
for more than eight hours a day."

we changed from nation of debtors
to nation Of creditors. In the war
we robbed the allies-nothing else We
charged them 10 cents a pound for
shrapnel casing 5000 a ton
when we were turning out practically
the same thing for the Pennsylvania
Railroad for $28 ton. We've lost
faith in each other and we can't stand
Outlines Company Policy.
Here's what the Simmons company
is going to do Our company is going
to issue credit. We're going to give
service. The Simmons company has
never known what service has been,
but they are going to find out this
year. When the great San Francisco
fire broke out, our company wired our
representatives to disregard what they
owed us and that we were consigning
them carloads Of beds. We had faith
in our customers and we did not lose
a cent When great dam broke in
the Mississippi Valley, we wired our
600 customers to disregard what they
owed US and that every bit of assist
ance, credit or money that we could
let them have was at their disposal.
None of them took advantage of our
offer but we got 600 letters from our
customers that we are proud of. 1t is
the same with the United States-we
have the resources unlimited. Are we
going to say that we cannot handle
the situation?
what the United States needs to-
day is another J. Pierpont Morgan. A
man to take charge of the finance of
this country. The United States must
extend credit to the people who owe
us. The United States is not going to
lose al thing from it. During the war
the United States raised $4,000, 900 900
in Liberty bonds. The United States
is so large and so powerful that she
does not know her own strength. 1t
is up to the United States to show her
faith in herself and extend credit to
those who owe us. Are we going to
be pinheaded business men or are we
going to be men who can encompass
the situation and have the CUTS to
go ahead?"

CHIEF ESTRONG
FOR GUNLICENSE
Asks Legislature to Pass
Law Licensing Carry
ing Of Guns.
WOULD PREVENT CRIME,

IF you can regulate the sale of guns
and ammunition and give the police
of the cities of Wisconsin a right to
have some supervision over the use of
firearms, you will reduce crime in Wis
consin by one-half and pave the way
for saving the lives of a lot of people
who have been the victims of gun
toters," Chief of Police O'Hare has
written Assemblyman Farr in urging
upon him the support of a bill re-
Gently introduced in the legislature
which has for its purpose the licens-
ing of every man or woman who buys
and carries revolver"
"The bill means a lot to Kenosha,"
declared Chief O'Hare this morning.
1T is probable that Kenosha would get
more results from it than any city
in the state with the possible exception
of Milwaukee. Most of the serious
crime in Kenosha is due to the fact thai
there is no regulation of firearms
Will Lobby for Bill.
Chief O'Hare has declared that he
will make trip to Madison and as
president of the Wisconsin Associa-
ton of Police Chiefs he will urge up
on the legislature the Importance of
this bill for the protection of life in
Wisconsin.
"Our association" declared the chief,
"has always urged that the sale of fire.
arms be placed under the strictest
regulation of the state. This plaN has
been followed in other states and while
it may have Objectionable features I
can not see them. Any man who has
a right to go about Kenosha with a
revolver on his hip will have no trou-
BILE securing license to carry it. The
man who could not get license to own
a gun is the man who always causes
the trouble. The city council of Keno
sha should officially ask the state leg
islature to enact this law at the earli-
est possible time and every man who
believes in the saving of lives of the
people should take the matter up with
the local representative in the legis-
lature and demand that he do every
thing possible to secure the passage
of the law"

SAYS MOONEY CASE
WAS A FRAME UP"
John Mcdonald Revives Famous Dyna-
mite Case With Confession That
His Testimony Was Framed.
by United Press)


New York-John Mcdonald, who as
witness for the prosecution identified
Tom Mooney as the San Francisco pre-
paredness day parade dynamiter, has
confessed that his testimony was false,
Attorney Frank P. Walsh announced
today. According to Walsh, Mcdonald
made affidavit that he was not able to
identify Mooney and that he did SO in
his testimony at the trial only at the
instance of District Attorney Dickert
of San francisco. McDonald's afflda-
Wit, Walsh said, was telegraphed to
San Francisco where special grand
jury is Investigating the Mooney case.
Mooney was convicted of murder-nine
persons were killed when a bomb was
exploded during a preparedness day
parade in 1916-and was sentenced to
die. President Wilson interceded in
his behalf and the sentence was com
muted to life imprisonment. Warren
K. Billings also is serving life term
for implication in the explosion. Nc
Donalds statement says that his iden-
LITIGATION of Billings also was false.
Mcdonald in his affidavit, according
to Walsh, said that he saw man with
suit case near her scene of the ex-
plosion just before the bomb was set
off. He mentioied this later and was
then taken before Dickert for ques-
tioning. Officials took him to Moneys
celfsand said "there is the man you
saw with the case" Mcdonald said he
was repeatedly told that Mooney was
the man and that he must so testify
at the trial Billings also was point
ed out to him as the man he must
identify as having been with Mooney
near the scene. Mcdonald told Walsh,
it was said, that he was promised a
share in the $17,500 reward offered for
the dynamiters, in exchange for his
testimony. After the trial he said he
tried to collect but has never been
abble to get the money, He alleged
thai the case against Mooney was
"ftsmed up" and that many of the wit
nesses were instructed as to what they
should say on the stand

Germany to Ignore
Financial Meeting
(By Associated Press)

Berlin-It was officially stated on
Friday that Germany has declined to
attend the allied financial conference
of experts to be held in Brussels be-
ginning next Monday. The ground
taken is that Germany requires her
financial experts to remain at home
for the present. The Berliner Tage-
blatt on Friday published memoran-
dun which Charles Bergman, head of
the German delegation in Paris, has
delivered to the allies, pointing out
that it is impossible for Germany to
continue coal deliveries on the scale
provided for in the Spa agreement
after February 1. It says Germany's
industries are suffering from coal
shortage.

FILE NEW BRIEF
INLANG HEARING
Attorney Baker to File a
Brief Covering His View
of Famous Case.
MAY ASK FOR DELAY

Attorney Robert Verne Baker an
nounced today that he would file a
brief with District Attorney Peter
Fisher on Wednesday, setting forth
his arguments for new trial in the
case of the State against Frank Lang.
On account of the fact that number
of briefs have been filed in the case,
it is possible that a further adjourn
ment of the argument on the new trial
will be asked on Friday when the hear
ing is set for the circuit court.
Attorneys today were not willing to
say that there would be any request
for further time, but it was said that
the district attorney might ask time
for consideration of the brief to be
filed by Mr. Baker. 1t is understood
that the brief to be filed by Attorney
Baker will deal specifically with the
laws relating to the consideration of
the confession by the jury and the ac-
ton of the court in refusing to submit
to the jury certain evidence produced
at the hearing Of the trial
Slight Man in Green Cap.
The contention of the attorneys for
the defense that the court erred in the
consideration given to the proposed
evidence in regard to the man who ran
away from the scene of the crime will
be strongly urged in the brief filed by
Mr.. Baker. He is also expected to go
into the fact that the court refused
to admit the evidence of the stiletto
being found near the garage on the
night after the killing of Pacini. A
direct attack or the methods used by
the jury in considering the confession
of Lang is also expected to be fea-
tured in the brief. Mr.. Baker declined
this morning to give out a statement
in regard to his brief more. than to
say he was developing it and hoped to
file it with the district attorney to-
morrow.
