DISCRIMINATING
AGAINST YANKS

In its petition for an injunction
against picketing by the Associa-
tion of Masters and Mates, Marine
Cooks and Stewards, Mates and
Pilots of the Pacific, Marine Engi-
neers and Sailors Union of the
Pacific, brought before the United
States District Court in Seattle on
the 18th, the government alleges
that the sailors, through their "list
SYSTEM" give preference to aliens
and naturalized Americans over
native born Sstizens seeking en-
ployment. 1t is hard to believe this.
But if it be true. something should
be done to change this rule or hab-
it. There has often been complaint
that where aliens are in the ma
iority, it is hard for an American
to get a job when jobs are scarce.
If this is found to be true and gen.
eral, it is good cause for putting
up the bars against immigration.

roads from it. He wouldn't say
that the improvement of water
courses should be abandoned as
national policy, but he con-

Business Men Are Assailed
Business men came in for some
severe denunciation by Kruttschnitt
He charged them with having
launched a propaganda to force
down freight rates, that their prof
its might be increased" They are
the real profiteers, he declared, the
retailer being particularly named
as chief offender. While wholesale
prices have declined substantially,
there has been but little change in
retail prices. This is just the re-
verse of claims made before the
Labor Board in urging wage cuts.
1t was brought out by Senator
Cummins that during 1920 the rail-
roads had secured in revenues more
than a billion dollars in excess of the
1919 revenues, and he wanted
Kruttschnitt to tell the committee
what had been done with this money.
The latter made a great deal of
conversation, but did not supply
the information. Charts prepared
by the Association of Railway EX-
ecutives had. carefully avoided any
reference to what Senator Cummins
said was the largest revenue in
! all the history of the United States"
1t was developed that the rail
roads have filed or Will file claims
for undermaintenance during the
period Of Federal control that will
if they are sustained bring total
payments up to $1,000, 900 900. SEN
ator Cummins gave his own esti-
mate of the final cost as 81 800 ,0O0,-
/ 600, and followed it with the state
ment that the situation was so Sc
rious that private ownership seem
ed to be in peril.

NOW it came to pass in those days,

into Judaea. to the city of David, which
is called Bethlehem, because he was of
the house and family of David, 10

wrapped him in Swaddling clothes, and
laid him in d manger, because there
was not room for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds in the
sune country abiding in the field, and
keeping watch by night over their
flock. And an angel OF the Lord stood
by them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them; and they
were sore afraid. And the angel said
unto them, Be no: afraid; for, behold
! bring you good tldings Of great joy
which shall be 10 all the people: for
there is born to you this day in the
city of David a Savior, who is Christ
The Lord. And this is the sign unto
you: Ye shall find babe wrapped in

ody, dated from the Thirteenth CEN

hurmoniZed to conform with more
modern standards.
There is most curious but beauti-
ful musical effect at the close Of this

than the music, being taken from the

they were taken from the liturgy OF

WILSON TRIBUTE TO

FOR HUMANITY PRIZE

New York, March 1.-THE ma
tionwide tribute to Woodrow Wilson
which has been proposed by a num-
ber of his admirers, both men and
women, will probably take the form
of a. $5OO,OOO fund to be contribu-
ted in small amounts, the interest on
which will be devoted to rewarding
the one who during the year has
done the greatest service to hu-
manity. The nature of the service
which the award will be made is to
be defined by Mr.. Wilson, who has
been told of the project and has ex-
pressed himself as deeply apprecia-
tive of the honor paid him and of
the purpose for which the money is
to be used.
A meeting is to be held at the Ho-
tel Biltmore next Tuesday afternoon
a q o'clock, at which the plan will be
discussed. Mrs. Charles Tiffany and
George Foster Peabody are two of
the most ardent supporters of the
project and others are Hamilton
