SAYS CUT UNJUSTIFIED
Employees Could Resist Reduction Ii
 Organized, Says Morrison

Washington, May 4.--"There is no Justification for the 20 per cent reduc7 'tion In the wages of employees of the steel trust" Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor declared today in a formal statement comme nting on the announcement yes terday by the United States Steel Cor poration of a cut in wages, effective May Is.
 "The employees of the steel trust are unorganized," said MT. Morrison. They are helpless. The steel trust is law unto itself. and it was permitted to violate the antitrust laws because of the fear that it will interfere with the company's foreign trade.
 "If the steel workers were organ ized," Mir. Morrison continued They would be in position to resist this arbitrary cut in wages, but the work CTS, without organization. are as help less to resist the will of the steel trust as the government had been to have them comply with the laws of the land.
 'Tyranny is always dangerous. The action of the steel trust will increase unrest, and result in the organization of the steel workers. When organized. they will esta blish the eight hour day, notwithstanding the statement made by MT. Gary that the workers want the 12-hour day"

upon the shoulders of Gibboney, MT. Bailey declared It was from his mothers home that Bergdoll escaped.
 MT. Bailey's testimony had not been concluded when the hearing was ad- journed over until Monday. Before leav- ing the stand however, he told the com nlittee of a talk he had with Berg doll at the Governors Island prison, of the latter's tale of the gold, and of the military plans for speedy trip to find 1t. MT. Bailey declared that Gibboney took a personal interest in the prisoner and promised in event of his acquittal to take him to Philadelphia and try and make a man of him.
 ENTITLED TO TRIAL | In the course of the long cross exam ination of MT. Ansell, conducted largely by Mr. Johnson, direct attack was made on the lawyer for accepting employment as counsel, for an infamous draft dodger." MT. Johnson wanted to know 1T he would have defended Benedict Arnold and Judas Iscariot, and the witness said both were entitled to trial under the law. | Luther Martin, an eminent lawyer of his day, Mir. Ansell declared. represented Aaron Burr, while some of the greatest lawyers of their tirne including former President Garfield, had defended Milli- gan in the famous border state insurrec- ton case in Civil war days MT. Ansell said he was entirely within his rights and had strictly complied with lthe highest ethics of his profession in taking up the Bergdoll appeal after the court-martiai conviction.
 MT. Johnson insisted that as he had promised to stand responsible for the safe return of the prisoner, the former acting judge advocate general of the army was in duty bound to do so. MT. Ansell contended, however, that even 1T there has been an error of judgment, the request for the mans release was made ! in good faith, and that under military regulations the authorities and not the lawyers were responsible for his safe- keeping. ass.
 The witness denied that he had broken faith with Major General Harris, adJu- i tant general of the army who issued the release order, and declared that his chlel regret was that he had been the man at whose instance the general approved the | expedition. General Harris, he added, re- lied upon the judgment of officers at Governors Island to see that the prisoner was adequately guarded

HAS NEW SOLUTION
 OF ROAD PROBLEM
uu asaocIated .Press


 Washington, May 4.-President Harding had proposed to him today plan for the solution of the railroad problem which it's author, Samuel H. Barker, financial editor of a Philadelphia news paper, said would provide the railroads with s4,O00 100000 of new capital, or pet terments and additions, within the next five years, and at the same time save s25o, 900 GOO in the annual cost of operation. The plan as outlined by Mr. Barker contemplates acquisition by the govern ment of the 2,500,000 freight cars in the country at fair Appreciated valuation, issuing ip payment 15-year certlflcates which the railroads would sell to obtain needed funds. The railroads would pay for the use of the cars sufficient sum to retire the certificates and take care of other expenses.
 The President, MT. Barker said, asked that the plan be placed in written form for submission to Chairman Cummlns or the Senate interstate commerce cominil. tee. which is to investigate the railroad situation.

ANSELL TESTIMONY
 IS CORROBORATED
 BY LAW PARTNER
Declares Judge Wescott Knew All About "Pot of GoId'' Be- fore Draft Dodger Made
 His Escape
By Associated Press

Washington May 4.-Edward s. Bailey law partner of Samuel T. Ansell, corrobo- rated before the House Investigating committee today. Anselrs testimony that former Judge John w. Westcott of New Jersey knew all about the story of "the pot of gold" before Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the Philadelphia draft dodger, escaped
 The witness was questioned particularly as to this phase of the case because of the emphatic declaration by Judge Wes- Ecott yesterday that the first he heard of the buried treasure was after Bergdoll had skipped. Mir Bailey also corrobo- rated the Ansell testimony, denied by Wescott, that the judge went to the war department to see the secretary in the prisoners behalf, and remained there some time without seeing him.
 Testifying after Mir. Ansell had been subjected to a severe cross-examination 1 by Representative Johnson, democrat, or Kentucky, member of the committee, MT. Bailey related the gist of conversa- tion in his office as to plans by which the lawyers hoped to obtain the release under guard of Bergdoll for the purpose of recovering his hidden fortune and in which the late D. Clarence Gibboney of Philadelphia and Judge Wescott took part.
 WESTCOTT PRESENT
 While Gibboney was explaining how Bergdoll hipself had come to Washing ton with Judge Remig, his friend, and had obtained $150,000 in gold from the treasury department, which took three or four hours to count" said MT. Bailey, Judge Westcott sat there and said lit- tie. But certainly the impression made upon me was that the judge knew every thing about it prior to our conference, because at no time did he express the least surprise over the statements by Gibboney."
 Responsibility for changing military plans, by which Bergdoll was permitted to stop over in Philadelphia. to visit his mother instead of proceeding direct to Hagerstown, Md, near which the money was supposed to be buried, fell properly

ADJUSTMENTS
MONTE BLUE AT THE GALAX IN THE KENTUCKIANS"
Ky EsTELLE BETHEA HALE

A unique situation is, presented in "The Kentuckians,' a romance of two main characters battling against each other. with the sympathy of the audience about evenly divided.
 On the one side is Blue Grass aris- tocrat, a man who had all the best qualities of chiyalry and high breed- ing. On the other a brave young mountaineer giant of the fierce fight ing folk of the mountain, flaming with the pride of his peop:e. Monte Blue gives strong ana sensitive portrayal of the mountaineer. Boone Stallard, who fights in politics and in love the blue blooded aristocrat of the Blue Grass region.
 A striking and powerful character. Wilfred Lytel is winning and engaging as the more polished but perhaps Just a bit less admirable Randolph Mar shall, who makes brave fight to be his better self and meet his natural advantages. MT. Lytel is the brother of Bert Lytel, to whom he bears a strong resemblance.
 The mountain views used for the Kentucky scenes are magnificent They are evidently taken in Kentucky, abounding in the sky-high mountains and deep valleys, both luxuriantly cov- cred with great trees as the Kentucky mountains are.
 The Kentucky feud waged over the mountaina is the basis of the plot, though in this case it is carried into the Blue Grass country. A most sensi- Die ending caps the story.

For Good of
 the Community

for the first four months of the year presents a series of interesting view points. The residuum is the qualification enuring from knowledge that the wage earner and salaried man constitute the bulk of builders
 When the workers of community de- eide that it is worth while the supreme court has sat on the case Better to have had hundreds of simple homes built this year than a few handsome ones costing the same amount of money
 Building permits for the first four months of this year and the two preceding ones called for structures valued as fol- lows:
 1921-$1, ,920,000
 1920-S1, ,508,972
 9-$618908.
 There has been more building this year than in either of the other two, three times as much as in the same period of 1919. The number of homes built this year is more than three times the number built in the same period of 1920. The figures fol- low:
 1921-462.
 192O-126.
 In April permits were taken out for four times as many homes as in the same month of 1920, the record being as fol- lows:
 April, 1921-13O.
 April, 1920-34.
 The 130 homes for which permits were issued in April aggregated value of $29O,OOO, or an average value per home of $2, ,230. This shows that the wage earner and the salaried man are building "A large proportion of home building has been financed by the building and loan associations Two of these service able institutions found it necessary to in- crease their capital in order to accommo- date the demand for loans One added S3,000,0000 of stock and the other ST. 000,000 This additional S4,O0O,000 will be absorbed by the home builders of Bir- mingham this year
 One building and loan association says April was the biggest month it ever had and that it made the greatest number of loans for home building. Where last year the average loan was for refinancing home projects, this year more than 75 per cent has been for acquisition of new homes.
 One building and loan association re- ports that the average of loans made by it was little over $1,200. That sounds small to men of means, but men of means will not forget that the mass of men are not wealthy, but that the S1,200 home means quite as much to the community as the one that costs S1O,000 It houses a family of workers.
 Good illustration of the trend of home building this and last year is afforded by the comparison of the monthly issue of permits. Itwas as follows:
