FOOD RELIEF WORKER FINDS CENTRAL

NEW YORK, Aug. 2e,-U, n. SD

tive who has returned after five
months survey of the Hoover organ
izations feeding operation in Central
and Eastern Europe expressed optim-
ism today concerning the economic
and political future of the nations
who owe their existence largely to the
generosity of the American people
who contributed $2S,000,OOO during
the European Relief Council drive.
In general. the aspect today of
Central Europe and the Baltic is one

is, perhaps. not as rapid as it might
have been If men and nations had

places there are distressing conditions.

Europe is sinking. The contrary is
true Europe is rising.e
There are still some international
wrangles, such as Upper Silesia and

Friendship of Nation Won.

1.-The friendship of the peoples of
the countries served by the American
relief administration for the United
States has been securely won by the
feeding operations. There is genu-
inc and sincere gratitude to the Am
erican people for their great act of
human brotherhood. The children
will not forget.
"The child-feeding operation has
been great impetus to the scientific
study Of child-nutrition, especially in
Austria. If America will take advan-
tage of the lessons learned, if Ameri-
ca, having aided the children of so
many countries, will turn her attention
more earnestly and effectively to her
own children, making use of the
knowledge acquired in Europe
through American generosity, the cost
of the whole relief operation will be
trifle compared to the benefits Amer
lea herself will derive.
THE American relief administra-
ton has been upholding democracy in
Europe. The new democracies result

ADVOCATES FOR BEER

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Scenes
of the days when the drys were bat
Ting to put John Barleycorn outside
the pale of the law were re-enacted
today before the house judiciary COM
mittee except that few friends of
Johns family appeared to protest
against Chairman Volstead's plan to
cut off, even for medicinal purposes,
the heritage of beer,
Plenty of drys were on hand,
wearing their old-time fighting
clothes, and DIR. John p. DAWN, OF
New York, who pleaded for the use OF
beer as medicine, was given none too
cordial treatment. In fact, he was
roughly handled by Mr.. Volstead,
who, with some show of feeling, chal-
lenged the physicians ability to Eek
plain anything and on another oc-
casion declared the witness was US
ing a "conglomeration of words that
meant nothing"
Outstanding in the testimony was
the statement by Oliver T. Rem

Federal CONTROL. OF
ROADS AGAIN IS SEEN

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Contin-
uation of the present railroad sit
uation means government control of
the lines, Senator Cummins, Iowa,
declared today at the senate inter-
state commerce committees hearing
Unless some way is found of re-
ducing railroad expenses and increas-
ing revenues the national treasury
will have to >pay the deficits which
are gro wing under private operation.
Mr.. Cummins said, and this would
mean federal control.
Mr.. Cummins also declared that the
loss to the government as a result Of
federal control during the war might
total $2,500,000, 1000. 1t is already es-
timated at $1,200,000,000 on the basis
CT claims paid and those in process
of adjustment. If the railroads win
their contentious on claims yet
pending. the deficit will go to ST.
500,000,000. Cummins said. Person
ally he estimated that it would be
$1,000, 100000 at least. "This sit
uat'on challenges the permanence of
private operation and control of the
roads," lie said.
He questioned julius Krutschnitt,
chairman of the Southern Pacific,
concerning criticisms of the slow
ness of the railroad labor board in
settling wage disputes, saying that
they had a direct bearing, on the
restoration of the railroads to a
stable condition
Mr.. Krutschnitt said the theory of
the labor board was correct but said
it was slow in it's decisions. Sena-
tor Cum,nins said wage disputes have
been submitted with great prompt
ness, and held the railroads account
able for the delay in initiating such
controversies before the board.

PROBERS TRAILING
BERGDOLL s GOLD
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE
trail for the buried gold of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, draft dodger,
which a house investigating COM
mittee is trying to pick up, ended
today in the kitchen of the Bergdoll
home at Philadelphia, where it was
last seen by the man who had taken
it there from the United States
treasury.
James E. Romig, one time police
magistrate of Philadelphia, who
came to Washington with the slack
er's mother in the fall of 1919 to get
the gold. and from whom the COM
mittee had hoped to learn something
of it's alleged burial place, declared.
quite positively. that he never set
on the kitchen floor. Whether it
had been placed in a bank or under
ground, he swore he could not say.
The serious sessions of the COM
mittee were upset frequently by Ro-
mig, who is 70 years old, and who
was in a fine frame of mind, despite
the fact that he is awaiting sentence
on conviction of aiding Bergdoll to
escape the draft. Always in a
laughing mood, Romig added con-
slant touch of levity.
The former magistrate was called
after former Judge John w. West
colt, of New Jersey, had reiterated
that there was not a word of truth
in reports that he had been employed
as one of Bergdoll's lawyers. Two
of the judges sons, both lawyers,
and two other lawyers associated
with him, testified to the same fact.
John H. Sherburne, counsel for the
committee, had not brought the
mig story up to the point where
Bergdoll slipped through bathroom
and started for Germany, when the
hearing was adjourned until tomor-
row. Considering the other charges
against him, Romig declared he would
not stand on his constitutional
rights, but would answer any ques-
tions anybody might ask.

RAIL MEN
REFUSE To HANDLE:
'BLACK-LEG' COAL

LONDON, May 13.-British rail-
waymen today placed an embargo on
"black leg" coal.
Executive officers of the union in
structed their followers not to handle
any coal loaded by non-union labor.
The executive order followed indie
pendent action by the Firemen's and
Enginemen's union, which instructed
it's men not to handle non-union or
it would use it's strength to see that
no member was "yictimized" for
obeying the order.
The decision again brought the ma
tion face to face with the threat
of general strike.
Transport workers were expected to
take similar action. The joint &C.
ton of the two big unions would
prevent the unloading of non-union
coal at the. docks, the transfer from
ships or transportation along the rail
lines.
Individual workers in the two
unions previously refused to handle
such coal, but they were dismissed,
their places being filled from the
ranks of the thousands of unem-
ployed.
The action of employers led to the
declaration of an independent rail
strike in Glasgow, effective tonight.
Similar action was expected at Not
tingham.
With no union miners working,
most of the available coal in Great
Britain is "black leg" The govern
ment is expected to insist that enough
of it be delivered to keep public
utilities and the vital Industries n
operation. A clash over this question
night easily precipitate a triple al
lance" strike in sympathy with the
miners-the long predicted industrial
war.
