five or fifty years old, builders who
have adopted II say it is destined to
save small home owners millions of
dollars in the future.
That there is nothing new under
the sun is again eXemplified in the
case of the Ideal wall. New to Am
erican builders it is an old idea. The
architectural department of the
Common Brick Manufacturers asso-
citation thought il had something new
and novel But an old brick mason
in Cleveland told them he remember
ed that when boy in Russia he had
seen house built identically the
same. way TO keep out the intense
cold. Another aged brick layer born
in Germany, says that when he was
learning his trade there houses were
frequently built of this same type of
construction for identically the same
purpose.
1t also develops that here and
there in America an architect OF
builder has hit upon the idea, but
strangely enough 1t has never been
brought to the attention of builders
generally.

LATIN AMERICAN

WASHINGTON. March 13.-(Spe-

first evidences of constructivism dis
played by the new administration is
the interest which Is being taken in
devising some means TO combat the
insduous anti-American propaganda
which is raging in the Latin Amer
icas. President Harding has made 1t
q point to surround himself with
men who are thoroughly familiar
with Latin American problems and

zeal departure from that which has
heretofore characterized our relation
with the republics to the south. Quite
recently a meeting was held in New
York OF men interested in Latin
American affairs looking to the or
ganizatIon OF an unofficial movement
for closer cooperation between the
United states and the several Latin
American republics and to consider
what could be done to provide
background of public opinion in
those countries favorable to the I'm

trip to Panama which Mr.. Harding
took, corroborated impressions al

FORD CUTS PRICE
OF FARM TRACTOR

Sales Fail.

DETROIT. Jan. 27.-A reduction
of $165 in the price of. Fordson
tractors, effective Immediately. was
announced by Edsel B. Ford, presi-
dent of the Ford Motor Company.
The tractor formerly sold for $3.50
and has been listed under the order
at $625.
''This price change has been made
possible through lower costs of ma
terials and the fact that we are
now located in our new tractor plant
with greatly increased economic
manufacturing facilities in imme
diate connection with our foundry
and machine shops and large blast
furnaces" Mr.. Ford said.
There is no change in present
Ford car and truck prices which
Fare already at the lowest possible
figurue, and now. with rock bottom
reached in the tractor price, a fur
ther reduction in price of either the
car, truck or tractor is out of the
question. In fact, the big price cuts
have zbeen made in anticipation Of
continuous maximum production, and
increases may be necessary before
long IL large volume Of new
business is not obtained. Therefore
present prices of Ford products can
not be guaranteed against possible
increases"

.HUCELOBBY TO.
BACK PAY BILL
100000 People Expected to
Get Behind Measure for U.
S. RecIassification.

A huge lobby having behind it the
united support of approximately
100000 persons, is forming td
bring pressure upon Congress to
pass the Lehlbach reclassification
bill, according to developments in
the fight for pay revision within
the several days and the plans of ac-
ton for the next week proceeding
committee hearings.
TREMENDOUS BACKING.
In the respect OF co-ordinated ef-
fort, perhaps no other piece OF legis-
Iation ever has had such a tremen-
dous backing. The Importance of re-
classification to the wage earning
class as a whole is being emphasized
by the last minute interest evidenced
In the bill.
Al a meeting last night of repre-
sentatives of twenty groups of skilled
tradesmen in the Government service,
a program was mapped out for sup
port of the Lehlbach bill which will
enlist the entire strength OF the
tutTdtlOu ol lAAoOT with
membership of nearly 5,0O0y0O0 affec-
ting about nifty internatio11l unions.
MACHINIsTs LEAD H4GMT.
Leading these skilled tfsdesmen.
because of superior numbers in the
Federal service. is the International
Association of Machinists, with a
membership of more than 100000.
Added to this support will be more
u-nf raS, m
various organizations throughout the
country which already have been
lined UP. In addition. there will be
the support OF more than a half mil
Hon Government employees, whether
they are included or not under re-
classification.
PLAN PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN.
When the Lehlbach bill Is reported
from the committee IL is planned to
throw this huge strength behind the
measure by an Intensive publicity
campaign among organized labor and
other organizations and use the in
fiuence Of said bodies on the Hill
through personal solicitation of Con-
gressmen.
The Anal program Is yet to be com
pleted. The skilled tradesmen have
been asked to confer with Luther c.
Steward, president of the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
through whom the efforts of the
skilled tradesmen. and the clerical and
scientific groups of the Government
service will be co-ordinated.
These latter two groups have al
ready started on plans for support
of the above mentioned organizations
with assurances that there will be a
united stand on the bill.

PALMER FLAYED
AS 'UN-AMER|CAN'
Baltimore Attorney Denounces
"laWIess Methods" Pursued
in Govt. Red Raids.

The methods of Attorney General
Palmer and his subordinates Of the
Department of Justice were again
criticised today before Senate Judic-
ary Committee by members of the
committee OF twelve lawyers who
charged Palmer with disregarding
the law and Constitution in conduct
ing his so-called RED" raids.
CALL OBJECT o. h.
1--WE have every sympathy With the
general object Mr.. Palmer wishes to
achieve, namely, peace and security
Of the United States, but we have
none at all with the lawless methods
by which he has sought TO obtain it,
Emery II. Niles. a Baltimore attorney;
declared.
Niles saw active service overseas
as a captain in the 313th Field Artil-
lery. He said he spoke for not only
himself. but his father, former Judge
Alfred s. Niles. of the Baltimore
supreme bench. who is a professor
of Constitutional law at the Uni
versity of Maryland Law School.
1--WE feel that such methods as Mr..
Palmer and his agents employed are
the opposite OF Americanism; that
they are the most effective means of
destroying Americanism, and that
they should be condemned by all
Americans" the younger Niles de.
clared.
PEOPLE NOT INFORMED.
The fact Is that very few Ameri-
cans know what was done In regard
to the alien raids last winter, ond
very few OF those who are told be.
lieve that any real rights were Nio-
lated. Most people dismiss the sub
ject with the though that " few
poor aliens liberties were infrlnged
there were n great many guilty ones
who escaped. and so no real harm
was done"
The Washington times., 1921-01-27

There is possibility, slight
one, however, that the commission
may see fit to make a few minor
changes in the rates.
The rates to be continued follow:
Limited service. business or resi-
dence, fifty or less calls a month,
81; two-party line business, forty or
less calls per month, SO; two-party
line residence, thirtY-five or less
calls a month, s2.5O. Unlimited resi-
dence, $3.50, and special rates for
switchboard service.
A last minute change of opinion
may cause some alteration of the
decision, which will delay its issu-
ance until tomorrow. However. En-
gineer Commissioner Charles w.
Kutz. chairman of the commission,
feels sure the order will be made
public late this afternoon.
Accountants for the commission
have been busy during the past two
weeks going over the figures pre-
sented by the telephone company.
Commissioner Eutz said today he
found the figures were correct in
every detail.
The fact that the company is only
earning 3.62 per cent on its valu-
ations will be the chief reason Tor
the continuation of the rates. The
commission has always indicated that
IL believes public utility corpora
tions should earn at least per
cent. However. in this case the tele-
phone company is only seeking a
Az per cent return on its valuation.

Gil would end without a definite de-
cision upon this all-important ques-
ton.

A stumbling block was put In the

cording to the French view, the total
sum of indemnity should approximate
about $50 900, 600, 900, OF which France
would get SO per cent,
According TO ex-Premier Clemen-
