LEAGUE ADVOCATED
FOR FOREIGN TRADE
Guatema|an Minister, Disap-
pointed With U. S. Methods,
Urues Better Understanding.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, May 10.--EStab
lishment of international rela
tions in a league of foreign trade
merchants of the, United States and
Latin-Amerlca was suggested by
Julio Rianchi. minister of Guatemala,
at a luncheon of the Foreign Trade
Club here. He advocated a more ex-
tensive study of Spanish in the Unit
ed States and said that in Guatemala
English study was compulsory.
I'm Guatemala the teaching of Eng
liSh begins in the class that corre-
spends to the fourth grade in the
public schools of the United States
college," he said. "The pupil has
memorized many sentences. very long
and tiresome lists of verbs and the
rules of English grammar.
Should Know Languages.
However, the pupil has only a
light varnish of English that wears
off very soon, and for this reason the
method seems wrong to me.
But we must continue our present
method until we procure a better one.
/ think that the proper way to pro-
cure a better method is to organize
a society or league to. promote the
study of Spanishein the United States
and the study OF EnglSh IN l-atln-
America, so that we can talk. under
stand each other and get down to real
business for our mutual profit and
welfare.
II am one Of the vast number Of
people who have tried to buy goods
from firms in the United States and
have finally given up hope of being
able to transact business with your
fellow business men in a way satiS-
factory to me. I was disappointed al
most every time / tried long-distance
buying from a firm in the United
States.
Il believe your trade organizations
can do wonders for your foreign firms
by creating some sort of standard
description of goods sold through
catalogues, so that the buyer may tell
at a glance just what is offered for
sale in the catalogue.
IT suggest that the Foreign Trade
Club invite similar organizations in
other parts of the United States to
, Join a concerted effort to exchange
clerks with the associations of mer-
chants in Latin America. Each year
your firms could send a number of
clerks to Latin America and Latin
America could send a like number of
it's clerks to you. Within a few years
a foreign trade firm of Baltimore or
any other city would have at work a
staff of clerks well trained in the
language, customs. ideals and busi-
ness methods Of all Latin America"

legally adopted national anthem
but there are many true Americans
who are irreconcilable to this partic-

Primarily, the music is an adapta-
ton of a foreign drinking song. used
especially on convivial occasions. The
words do not suit the present hour
nor convey agreeable memories of the

PRISONERS EXPOSE
MONEY ORDER RING
Theft of More Than $3.50, 900
Disclosed by Forging
of Blanks.
BY the Associated Press.

ID
NEW YORK. May 10-Information
furnished department of justice Off
cials by two convicts in the Atlanta
federal penitentiary caused the arrest
of three men charged with obtaining
more than $250.000 by forging stolen
money order blanks. These men are
said to be members of band which
also operated in Cleveland, Albany,
Syracuse and Buffalo.
This band, Mr.. Schwartz asserted.
worked in a novel way. One of them
would obtain position in drug
store soda fountain having easy ac-
cess to 4 postal substation. The next
step consisted in stealing a pad OF
money orders and an official postal
stamp. The blanks and the stamp
would then be mailed to a csnfeder-
ate in another city. BY supplying
members of the band with a large
number of blanks, money orders, ap
parently genuine. began to flood the
cities in which the band worked
The forged money orders were mailed
back and forth, from city to city. to
escape detection by federal agents,
Mr.. Schwartz declared.
Hotel keepers and theaterS were
the heaviest suffers by cashing these
spurious money orders. One plan was
simple, Mr.. Schwartz said. One of
the band would telephone from a
hotel to a theater box office and re-
serve twenty-five seats for per-
formance several days ahead. mailing
money order to liquidate the bill.
Later he would call at the theater
and relate a story of buying the
tickets in expectation Of having
twenty-five guests, but at the last
minute was advised that only four
would be able to attend The theaters,
in several instances. refunded the diff
ference. only to find out several days
later they had been victimized by
forged money orders.
The two men in the penitentiary
who gave the information leading to
the five arrests were convicted of
obtaining money by forging stolen
money orders.

PENROSE STANDS BY TAX PROGRAM
 OF WHITE HOUSE
Pending Measure Only Temporary Further Legislation
 Needed.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Further revenue revision legislation ought to be enacted as soon as possible, Chairman Penrose Of the Senate finance committee said in statement emphasizing that the pending measure was merely of a temporary and emergency character.
 Discussing the sales tax, Senator Pen rose said that was mo use to advance novel or untried suggestion of taxation at tune when prOmptneSS of action of some kind IS the slogan" House leaders were even more pronounced in their dec larations regarding such a tax; Chair man Fordney of the ways and means committee and Representative Mondell of Wyoming, the republican leader, declar- ing that no such proposal could be put through the House.
 Mir. Mondell insisted that there had been no change in the House sentiment that there should be lifting and not a shifting of taxes Mir. Fordney took a similar view and 1t was indicated that House leaders would insist upon a tax revision program substantially in accord with that agreed upon at the White House conference last August.
 Senator Penrose said there were many sources of revenue and methods of taxa tion that ought to be considered by Con- gress at an early date and that he in terded to address the Senate on 'this
 '.-ticular subject'
 Senate consideration of the tax bill was confined to vigorous assault on the measure by Senator Reed of Miss ouri, democratic member of the finance committed He denounced the bill as ''an infamous piece of legislation and de clared that the republican plan to relieve the wealthy corporations and individuals of large portion of their taxes was "a boot licking performance"
 Several amendments to the tax bill de signed to stimulate construction of homes were proposed by Senator Calder of New York. head of the special Senate committee which sometime ago made an investigation of building conditions.

PRESS CRITICISED IN CHURCH REPORT
 ON STEEL STRIKE
Pittsburgh Papers Accused of Tax ing Sides With Strike
 breakers

New York, Oct 1.-The final sec ton of the supplementary report on the steel strike of 1919 made by the commission of inquiry of the inter church world movement charges newspapers, particularly those Of Pittsburgh, with handling news Of the strike in such way that the strikers felt the press took sides and lent itself to strikebreaking activities.
 The pulpit, the report states, "Did not as body exert any important in Huence on the strike, despite wide spread sympathy for the strikers among clergymen who found no means to make their views effective" :"
 The part of the report devoted to the press analyses 400 issues of Eng fish language Pittsburgh dailies ap- bearing during the first two months of the strike. It cites a number of alleged examples of misre representation burgh papers pretended to offer at any time consistent and thorough examination of the causes of the strike"
 The report finds that the newspa- pers were chiefly responsible for the current belief in Pittsburgh that the strike was revolutionary, un-Ameri- can and bolshevik
 Without single exception worthy ot note" 1t asserts, "the statements, demands, grievances and testimony from the side of the strikers were printed under headlines or in context tending to give the impression that what the striking steel workers sought was something unwarranted and that their grievanceA were un- founded" "

LONCSHOREMEN ASK
 FOR OVERTIME PAY
Protest Because It Has Been Abol-
 ished on Saturdays.

New fork, Oct. 7-Leaders of the G.. GOO longshoremen, who went on strike at the transatlantic steamship pier in pro- test against the new wage scale, declared that their grievance concerned not only reduced wages and the resumption of the
 our week, but the fact that their overtime pay had been abolished on Sat urdays.
 The walkout, according to Joseph Ryan, vice-president of the International Longshoreman' Association, was par tiCipated i'll by only nine of the twenty nine local unions. Officials of the or ganzation declared the majority of the longshoremen in the port had accepted a wage reduction from 81 to 65 cents an hour and from $1.20 to $1 an hour for overtime.
 The extra working hours on Saturday, strike leaders said, were of profit to the steamship companies in clearing ships at the earliest possible hour, but worked hardships for the longshorelnen who ire quently labored throughout the lunch hour. At the old rates the men were paid double overtime during the lunch hour and overtime on Saturday after noon.

COMPERS ATTACKS REPORT ON PANAMA
 REORGANIZATION
Advice to Not Deal With Labor Is Preposterous, Says A. F.
 of L. Head.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Thorough re
 organization Of the administrative
 machinery in the Panama Canal Zone
 with radical changes in existing poll
 cies affecting employment ot labor,
 physical operation of the canal and
 railroad, pay of employees and other
 important subjects, is recommended
 in the preliminary report submitted
 to Secretary Weeks by the commits
 sion which recently investigated con ditions in the canal zone at his re- quest.
 The commission estimates that an annual saving of $5,ooo,ooo would re- suit from adoption of it's suggestions. Chief among the recommendations Is that the governor Of the canal zone be directed mot to make agree ments for understandings with the canal employees or any class thereof, for any period of time, but that the wages be periodically adjusted in accordance with the law, which bases the canal wages on the pay of similar employees in the government service
 in the United States" and that the government shall mot deal with labor shall deal with committees of e1n- ployes."
 The report drew fire from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who described the labor recommendation as "notlA ing less than preposterous and af- fronting to the entire country he said he trusted the recommendations would be accepted and that the auth
 orS of the report would be Suitably rebuked"

BIG BUSINESS IS UNABLE TO PUT OVER
 WAGE SLASH PLOT

 1-Wage reductions everywhere.
 2-Repea1 of the Adamson act.
 3-Unqualihed gift of $5OO,OOO,OOO to the railroads.
 They have been fought to a standsti1l on those issues up to the present
 What will happen when the conference recOnvenes to work out permanent relief and remedial measures remains to be Seen In the emergency program an- nounced after the first series of meet ings big business got none of the big piCkings for which 1t came to Wash ingtOn.
 The men and women who did not rep- resent organized greed were in the ma- jority and they consistently refused to view the problem as one solely of smooth ing the pathway of dividends. They were convinced of the economic fallacy of drastic wage reductions Consequently they recommended that in each cemmun- ity relief work be carried on by employ CTS and employees cooperating. They put responsibility squarely up to mayors and communities. and they demanded that there be price reductions from start to finish-from manufacturer to retailer.
 Commenting upon the emergency pro- gram. President Gompers said:
 Undoubtedly the American labor movement will give its wholehearted sup port to the program for unemployment relief.
 Labor will indorse every constructive feature of the report which the unen- ployment conference has adopted"

THINGS TOPSY TURVY AT NATIONS CAPITAL
 OVER THE WORKERS

Washington, Oct. 7-With unemploy- ment widespread, prices refusing to come down and winters rigors almost in sight, things are topsy turvy in the 1awmaking branch of government
 When the revenue bill was iammed through the house 1t was stated that the senate would quickly approve the act. But the thing hasn't happened The sen- ate rules do not permit strong-arm meth ods in ending debate and the senators who have the revenue bill i'll charge are unable to break the insurgency jam.
 With the insurgency of a few sena- tors is added a non-partisan combination of senators from agricultural states who have thrown several monkey-wrenches i1- to the senate machinery. This bloc is growing in strength and confidence, de- spite publicity campaign by big bugi- ness on the evil of recognizing any classes in this country"
 Things are in such shape that hints are being thrown out on the need for the senate to pass a Cloture rule. Debate can now be stopped by a two-thirds vote but the Would-be muzzlers cant muster this vote. The senate has always allowed the fullest debate and suggestions that this historic policy be changed that insur- gency may be gagged, indicates how hard pressed reaction is. Some avowed reac- tionaries, however, are against the gag rule, for they are not sure that in some future session of the senate the gag may be used against them.
 Hints are also thrown out that tht president must take charge of affairs ane crack the administration whip. But thl plan has its drawbacks, as the president, opponents will point to his pre-electioi declarations that the chief executive should not interfere with the laW-mak ing branch of government.
