WORKERS ADS REJECTED
BY PUBLIC PAPERS
Capitalist Press of Detroit Refuse
to Publish Labor's Side of
Open-Shop Issue.

In Detroit, where tue open-shop fight
has been waged vigorously by certain
employers, the daily newspapers refuse
to print the union labor side Of the case
even when offered in the form of paid
advertising. The Cigarmakers' Union,
which is resisting a wage cut and open
shop crusade inaugurated by large
cigar factory, submitted advertisements
to the four daily papers, by which it
was sought to notify the public that a
strike had been inaugurated in opposi-
ton to the second reduction in wages.
These advertisements were rejected, &C
cOrding to the Detroit Labor News.
The unemployment situation in Detroit
is growing worse as the weeks pass and
doors of the factories and workshops
remain closed, says the Labor News, and
attempts of employers to take advantage
of industrial prices to reduce wages to
minimum is making conditions worse.
Relief measures have been inaugu-
rated by various labor organizations.

individuals are fed daily and families

How Far Government Can Go in
Man S House Is Question
Raised.

Just how far can the United States
government go under the NOlstcad act
in Selling liquor i'll a mans recognized
home on the ground that the room in
which the liquor is kept is used also in
connection with some business conducted
by the resident?
Judge Harlan B. Howe in the United
in the case of Antonio ColengelO of
New London, charged with violating the
NolStead act. a pint of liquor having
In front of the home he had little res
taurant For this reason the govern
ment alleged that the keeping of Whis-
key there was illegal, as the room was
used in connection with the restaurant.
There was no question raised as to
the claim of Colengelo that he purchased
the liquor before prohibition went into
effect and there was no testimony intro
duced to make it appear that he had
been selling liquor.
After being out nearly an hour the
jury returned verdict of guilty, with
the supplement verdict that the liquor
was kept for use by the family.
Attorney Troland of New London
then filed a motion that the verdict be
set aside on the grounds that the decision
was an incorrect Interpretation of law.
The judge gave the attorneys one month
in which to file briefs regarding the point
and continued the term for three months
in respect to this case, in order that he
might rule on the point after giving it
more study.

new HAVEN COULD
Get ALONG IF IT
COULD CUT WAGES
auckland Couldn It Get Loan in
New York, But Raised
Money in Boston.

Boston, April 1.-Edward c. Buck
land, vice-president of the New York
New Haven & Hartford Railroad, yes
terday told the governors committee
that is investigating the necessity of an
increase of 10 per cent. in rates of the
New England roads, that the movement
for the increase was the result of
study of conditions by all the roads of
this section.
Presenting list of securities of the
roads leased lines aggregating approxi-
mately $30,0O0,OOO, he said that he was
erdeavoring to borrow on them but the
New York bankers were unwilling to
lend on the security offered because it
did not represent an investment which
was making money. He had been able
to borrow $2,OOO,OOO from Boston bank
ers, however, he said.
Vice-P President auckland added that
the New Haven" could "get along" if
it could reduce wages covering a period
of financial difficulties, explaining that
a reduction of IS per cent would give
the road $11OOO,OOO annually.
He said the question of whether the
employees would accept temporary re-
duction of wages never had been referred
to them to his knowledge. The matter
would be submitted, he said, to the gen.
eral managers of New England rail-
roads, who in turn would be asked to
place the question before their work.
