LABOR AND MONOPOLY PRICES.

A fundamental issue concerning the
relation OF labor unions to the con
troll Of industry is involved in the
Meyer Martin bin at Albany The bin

passed in 1893. which prohibits two
or more persons from conspiring 70
restrain trade or fix prices in the case
Of articles In common use" The
Meyer-Martin bill would extend the
application OF the law by making such
acts Illegal IN the case Of any article
or product used in the conduct Of
trade, commerce, or manufacture"
II is designed 10 give additional pro-
lection to the public. the need Of which

of public Importance
In 1917 the Photo Engravers' Union,
with practically complete control Of the
labor supply in this industry in the New
York market. entered into contracts
with employers according TO which
the employers agreed TO maintain a
minimum scale of prices indicated by
the union and the union agreed not 10
supply workers to any employer not
maintaining this scale. Action against
this agreement was brought under the
antitrust law. as a combination IN
restraint of trade and TO fix prices.
The court ruling, however. was that
photo engraVings are not articles in
common use, although they are used
every day and enter into the cost Of
every newspaper. every magazine, and
almost every book. for which the pub
lie pays the bills.
This was the principal cause leading
to the introduction of the Meyer Martin
bill. Representation of the workers in
the conduct of industries is a sound
principle. Use OF the power of organ
lied labor not only to determine the
conditions of employment but also TO
control relations of employers and
public and to fix prices is ininicaI TO
the public interest-New York Even

JUST FOLKS
A LONELY WORLD.
BY Edgar A. Guest


It's getting so 1 want TO see
The green returning 10 the tree,
want 10 hear the robins song
The birds have been away SO long
That I've begun 10 wonder when
They'll come 10 build their nests again.
As when the youngsters go away
And all alone at home / stay,
The world has lonely grown TO me,
For everywhere ! turn TO see
Some spot deserted and in gloom
Where friendly blossoms ought to bloom.
The corner where the children play
Looks up at me, as If 10 say.
When shall I hear the shouts Of glee
Which are the breath of life To me?"
And from a limb the creaking swing
Seems waiting TO behold the spring.
I know they're tired of walls and floors,
The youngsters should be out-Of-doors
And street and lawn need merry feet
To make their loveliness complete.
I'm hungry now once more TO see
The world arrayed as it should be.

Budapest. April THE newspapers

that tho most important question oc~
cupying the minds of the Mngyars were
concentrated around the oerson of their

the case. The Magyar race being an
eminently aristocratic one IL is a fore

OF government could run the country.
Recent events have proven this beyond

Intelligent and progressive as the
Magyar is. as regards his form of gov
ernment he is still In his teensss so to
speak. II is just simply taken for

of King to carry out the orders OF

HEAD OF BUNCO RING
NOT YET TRACKED DOWN

A report circulated Tuesday that
Floyd Woodward, king of Atlanta's
former bunco ring, now a fugitive
under indictments ranging from lar
ceny to murder, would be arrested
when the steamer, Laurel, dropped
anchor at the finish of it's voyage
from Buenos Aires to New York late
this month, is secuted by Solicitor
General John A. Boykin.
1t seems that two months ago, the
solicitor obtained information indi-
eating that ]. Bruce Ohlney, an
Albanian, in Buenos Aires, was in
reality Floyd Woodward. Solicitor
Boykin secretly requested that Sec
rotary of States Charles E. Hughes
have the man arrested. This was
done. While a prisoner in the South
American city, Ohlney admitted that
ne knew Woodward and had once
roomed at Woodward's house.
That was as close as his connec-
ton with Woodward went, however,
according to the solicitor. He was
definitely identified as ]. Bruce OIL
ney, an Albanian, and the son of
Pullman conductor here. His APP
pearance did not correspond with
photographs of Woodward. When he
sailed for New York as steward of
the Laurel, however the state depart
ment continued its surveillance on
general principles and Solicitor Boy
kin was notified.
But the solicitor does not believe
that the famous bunco chief has been

NEGRO IN SEWER !.
ESCAPES OFFICERS

Armed with Winchester rifles.
eleven police officers late Monday.
afternoon surrounded the big trunk
sewer in the Ormewood section in an
attempt to catch negro who was
alleged to have barricaded himself
in the big tube, and armed with a
shotgun and pistol, defied the officers
to come in and get him. Although the
officers remained at both ends of the
sewer and at many of the manholes
the negro managed to make his
getaway and it it believed he escaped
through a manhole not watched by
the police.
Late Monday afternoon the police
received a report that Albert Cox,
colored, of 81 Richmond street, was
on the warpath and had threatened
to get the officers who earlier in
the day had arrested his brother,
Charlie Cox, alias big Skinner" on
son, who received the first informa-
ton, started after Albert, but the
latter was notified of the officers ap-
proach and, after arming himself
with shotgun and pistol, entered the
sewer, according to several white and
cOIOred witnesses, after declaring he
was going to barricade himself in
side and would kill anyone who at
tempted to reach him.
Patrolman Woodson notified police
headquarters and Lieutenants Luck,
Barfeld, Patrolman Norris, Andrews,
Davis, Stigall. Evans, Goode, Dodd,
Boyce and Barton, each armed with q
Winchester rifle, were rushed to the
scene in the patrol wagon. Cox's
actions had created considerable ex-
element in the Ormewood section
and a large crowd had gathered to
stationed at both ends of the sewer
and every effort was made to induce
the negro to come out. He made no
answer and, it was some time later
before the officers cared to enter the
tube.

Mrs. Shllnan Loses
By Referees Decision;
Witnesses Disappear

NEW YORK, july Ion the eve
of the reopening of the Stillman di-
vorce hearings at Poughkeepsie to-
morrow, attorneys for Mrs. James A
Stillman today were searching for
some of her witnesses who have
dropped out of sight.
Referee Gleason's rulings on ad-
INSTABILITY CT evidence, made last
night. were considered a blow to Mrs
Stillman's case.
The referees final ruling on nine
points of law brought up by Colonel
William Rand, attorney for Stillman,
was favorable to the banker on seven
out of the nine. Practically all the
disputed evidence tending to show
alleged misconduct of Mrs. Stillman
with Fred Beauvais. the guide, was
admitted and only that which bore on
Guy Stillman's alleged illegitimacy
was barred.
In some instances the referee ruled
specifically that the given example OF
evidence was accented in so far as 1t
concerned the misconduct charge and
not accepted IS supporting the lille
gitimacv charge.
Mrs. Stillman's lawyers were con-
cerned about the sudden disappear
ance of several of their witnesses,
the most important of whom was a
seaman named knute. who was pre-
pared to testify concerning happen
ings on Stillmna'S yacht. the Mod
esty. The missing witnesses had
been kept in sight until the very
day they were to be summoned to
testify against Stillman.

PAIL MALL, Tenn, July 12.-If
farms in Tennessee
If you had a wife and three
months-old baby dependent upon
you-
If you faced losing your farm
through foreclosure of a $12,5)O
mortgage
You were the greatest hero of the
world war
AND
You could make possibly enough
to pay off the mortgage mercy by
showing yourself in public
WOULD YOU?
That is the question that Sergeant
Alvin c.. York has to face. His an
swer is NO" He will not CONNER
cialize his patriotism. His sense Of
obligation to his country and his re-
ligious scruples prevent.
II would far rather lose my farm,
and go back to work upon it as a
common day laborer, than to COM
mercialize the fame which was only
incidental to an act of Providence, -.
he says.
Wars Greatest Zero
That "act of Providence" made the
red-headed sergeant famous as the
wars greatest hero, not only
throughout America, but in every
allied country. On October IS, 1918,
in the Argonne Forest, York single
handed killed 20 Germans, put out of
commission 35 machine guns and
marched into camp 1872 German cap
tives, including major and three
lieutenants. For his feat he won the
congressional medal of honor and
the Croix de Guerre, pinned on by
Marshal Foch himself.
Spruning movie and vaudeville
offers that would have made him
rich, he came back to his mothers
hillside farm and took up the hoe.
A short time later he married a
girl of the neighborhood. Friends
and admirers picked out a farm for
him almost directly across the road
from the farm of his mother, and
paid $11,235 on it through popular
subscription.
For a time things moved serenely.
York, whose whole ambition had been
to own home in his Tennessee
mountains, farm his own land. hunt
the foxes that roamed the hills and
