Tug Men Plan
Coastal Tie-Up
In "a Hours
Advance Strike Date ON Sea-
going Towboats to Coin
eide With Start of the
Spring Shipping Business
Will Extend to Gulf
Sanction Expected at Once
From Union COMMITTEES:
Owners to Fight 1t Out

All towing operations through the
Sound and along the entire Atlantic
and Gulf coasts are expected to be
stopped within twenty-four hours.
The walk-out on the seagoing tugs,
originally set by the marine workers
for April 1, was suddenly advanced
following a conference of their repre-
sentatives at Philadelphia and meet
ing here yesterday. Thomas B. Healey,
head of the Marine Engineers Benef-
cial Association, said it was decided to
strike at once to allow the towboat
owners the least possible time to
prepare for the move. The action has
been approved by William s. Brown,
international president. said Healey,
and needs only the sanction of the
executive committee of the national
body. This is expected within twenty
four hours.
Season Just Starting
The strike. if effective, will tie up
about $50 towboats and leave more
than 2,400 captains, engineers, mates,
idle. 1t comes at the beginning Of the
coastwise shipping season, and is ex
pected to cripple the shipments of COAL
oil, lumber, green and general mer-
chandise between this city and other
ports along the Atlantic seaboard.
The strike was brought about by the
refusal of the towboat owners, mem
bers of the Atlantic Coast Towboat
Owners Association, to continue the
wage scale provided for under the last
agreement between the owners and the
tug workers. This agreement expired
on December 81, 1920. Instead, the
year scale with reductions of $35 to
$50 month in the mems pay, a cut of
about 25 per cent.
The employees have been accepting
this scale under protest, while the
various marine organizations affected
were making every effort to reach some
agreement with the owners. Several
conferences proved futile, and finally,
on March II, the workers were in
formed by the owners that further par
leys were useless and that the reduc-
tions would stand.
On March 19 William Maher, busi-
ness manager of the Masters, Mates
and Pilots Association, announced that
April l had been fixed as the day for
walk-out. A conference of the Atlantic
coast division of the Marine Engineers
Association was held in Philadelphia
to go over the situation and prepare
for the strike. 1t was decided then to
go out at once and allow the owners
as little time as possible to employ
labor.
This decision was confirmed at
meeting of the various marine organic
zation leaders at the headuuarters of
the Neptune Association. at 15 Park
Row, yesterday afternoon. A plan of
action was outlined and the co6pera-
tion of the different bodies pledged.
Among those present were Mr.. Healey,
for the Marine Workers Beneficial AS
sociation; Captain C. F. Ganard, for
the Ocean Association Of Marine En-
gineers; WilliamyA. Maher, for the
masters, mates and pilots, and B. L.

Germany Will
Refuse to Pay
Billion Marks
Berlin's Answer to Demand
of Allies for First Install
ment of Assessed Repara-
ton Fund in Negative

BERLIN, March % (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-Germany's reply to the
demand of the Entente for the payment
before March % of 1000, ,000, GOO marks
gold, to apply on reparations obligations
will be in the negative, it was unofi-
cially stated yesterday.
The German governments answer to
the Allies, now being drafted, will be
presented within twenty-four hours, as
the time limit set expires tomorrow.
The Reichsbank will sternly oppose
any attempt by the Entente to seize it's
gold reserve to apply to the repara-
ticns demands, the Kreuz Zeitung
learns. Any such move, the banks di-
rectorate is quoted as saying, would
not only be inimical to holderssof Ger
man certificates, but violation of the
treaty and in contradiction to the prac-
tice observed by Germany on French
territory and the French army on Ger
man soil. when the deposits in state
banks were treated as private property.
The Reichsbank announces it will
not surrender its gold voluntarily, and
that seizure of the gold would instant
ly result in devaluation of the cur
rency, of which immense quantities are
privately held abroad, notably in the
United States, Holland and Scandi-
navia. These are estimated at 2O,000,-
100000 marks, while German bank
credits abroad total another 30,0oo,-
100000 marks.
The Reichsbank's reserve, according
10 the late statement. was 1,091 ,OO0, 900
marks.
While there has been no indication
that the Entente intends to seize any
of the Reichsbank's gold reserve be-
cause of Germany's refusal to pay the
! l,000000,000 gold marks demanded by
the Reparations Commission, the Ger
man government apparently fears such
an attempt may be made.l

May Set for Final Payment

The Allied Preparations Commission,
in note sent March 16 demanding full
fillment by Germany of Article 235 Of
the peace treaty, notified the German
government that it must pay 1000, ,0O0,-
900 gold marks before March %, and
that she must complete the payment
of 10000, 100000 marks gold by May l..
Germany was given until April l to
submit proposal to pay the balance
of the 10000, 100000 MARKS otherwise
than in cash, having the privilege to
bring forward plan for foreign loan,
the proceeds of which should be pay
able to the commission.
1t was announced by the commission.
however, that Germany had virtually
refused to pay the balance, asserting
that the 10000, ,0Oo, 900 marks has al
ready been paid in full. The Allied
representatives stated that the greatest
sum they could compute as having been
paid by Germany against this account
could hardly reach 5000, 600 900 marks
by May l. 1t is, therefore, the initial
payment Of 1000, 0,o00, 900 marks and 1
balance of at least ii ,000, ,0OO. 900 marks
that the Allies are demanding Of the
German government.

In his letter to the President sena-
tor Warren gave the total deficiency
estimates now actually before Con-
gress at $215,Ss1,2ss.
There is no question:" he wrote,
"about estimates for strictly legal
deficiencies submitted in accordance

not ali Of these sums are OF this char
acter. notice that some are for new

at would seem that heads Of de-

held to strict accountability. Now
that the war is over there seems 70
be little excuse for the various de-

THE Fascist AND

All Italy is seething in the excite

fighting Is common in every city. The
Fascist, or extreme nationalist, are

At Bologna so Fascist attacked
the headquarters of the socialists and
drove them to the roof The police
arrived and tried to persuade the
Facisti to desist, but during the par
ley socialist fired and then both
Fascist and police returned the fire
killing the socialists secretary and
wounding others. At Mantau the
Fascist burned the labor headquar-
ters and then marched through the
streets, after which they invaded the
home of a socialist deputy and COM
pletely destroyed it. At Leghorn
the communists put up fight on the
streets which lasted three hours but
were routed by the Fascist, who pur-
sued them to a clubhouse which was
captured and destroyed. Fights have
also occurred in Fiume and other

After Using Javelle Water Rinse
Cloth Thoroughly.

Javelle water, which can be made
at home, is a good bleaching agent. to
use in removing stains from white
linen and cotton when more simple
methods fail. Obstinate stains made
by clear coffee and tea, fruits or ink,
for instance, will yield to an appli-
cation of this useful liquid.
Javelle water should be applied on
ly to uncolored cotton or linen ma
terials, because it bleaches colors and
rots silk or wool. In treating stains
with Javelle water, stretch the stain
portion over a bowl filled with
water and apply the Javelle water to
the stain with a medicine dropper,
Do not allow the Javelle water TO
remain in contact with the stain for
more than one minute. Apply oxalic-
acid solution to neutralize the Javelle
water, and rinse by dipping the stain
in the bowl of water.
If allowed to remain too long in
contact with the flDers, JaVelle water
rots even linen and cotton materials,
and it should, therefore, always be
neutralized with oxalic acid and the
fabric rinsed thoroughly to remove
all traces of the chemical. For very
persistent stains the Javelle water
may have to beapplied several times,
but should be neutralized with oxa-
lic-acid solution after each applica-
ton.
Prepare Javelle water as follows:
Dissolve. pound of washing soda in
l quart of cold water. To this solu-
ton add II pound of ordinary bleach
ing powder calcium hypochlorite.)
Filter this liquid thru a piece of mus
lin to remove the sediment. Keep
the clear liquid in tightly stopper
ed bottles n a dark place.

ventilators Prevent Hay From Heat
ing i'm Barns.

Hay, especially alfalfa or clover, Is
likely to suffer damage thru heating
in the barn. This can be prevented
by ventilation. To ventilate a hay
barn the United States Department of
Agriculture experts recommend the
use of lattice ventilators IL to 10
inches square and as long as conven-
lent. These ventilators, which look
somewhat like elongated crates, are
made with corners consisting of by
A scantlings Slated together with mar
row boards IL to 10 inches long. They
should be braced to prevent crushing.
The ventilators are laid in the hay
10 or IL feet apart horizontally and
far enough apart vertically so that
the distance will not be more than s
or 10 feet after the hay has settled.
The ends should come out to the edge
of the hay so as to permit free pas
sage of air. This will permit the car
rying off of steam caused by evapor-
alton and will preserve the hay and
prevent overheating. The ventila-
tors can be made of various sizes of
material, and if strongly construct
ed will last many years.

The most successful method or
combating common chickweed in
lawns, according to specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, is to rake out as much of the
weed as practicable in the early
spring, using a fine-teoth garden
rake. This will seriously retard the
growth of the wed. Commercial fer
tilizer should be heavily applied i'm
mediately after raking and the lawn
literally seeded with a good lawn
grass MIXTURE. The. heavy growth OF
grass which should result will tend
to crowd out the shallow-rooted
chickweed. Constant moving and
watering thruout the growing season
will hamper the spread of the pest.
The lawn should also be rolled each
spring.
One methow of destroying chick
weed is to allow chickens to have &C
cess to the lawns early in the spring
Extensive experiments have been
made with chemicals for destroying
chickweed but without marked sue
cess.

Do Not Overlook Eggs To BE Given
Small Child.

Eggs are especially useful food for
young children. The chief point TO
remember in u aDaring them for cL:!
drer il that .hey S. not be ever
cooked or they are likely to cause
indigestion, say food specialists in
the United States Department. Of Ag-
riculture. Everyone knows how the
heat of cooking hardehs the egg,
and it is easy to understand why it
will be hard to digest. However,
when eggs are cooked in the shell,
the heat reaches the white before it
does the yolk, and thre is more dan
ger of the white being overlooked
than of the yolk The best ways OF
serving eggs for children are poach-
ed, soft boiled, or coddled tho they
may be scrambled for change If
one is careful not to scorch the fat
used nor to overlook the egg.
Many means have been suggested
for cooking eggs in such a way that
the yolks will be cooked and the
whites will not be overlooked. One
of the most satisfactory is by cod
ding, which is done as follows: Al
low a cupful of water to each egg
bring the water to the boiling point
remove it from the fire, put in the
eggs, cover the dish closely, and leave
the eggs in the water for about sew
en- minutes. There is some uncertain
ty about this method, for eggs differ
in weight and also in temperature al
the time the cooking begins. On the
whole this method can be more de-
pended on than others. Good re
suits can be obtained by pouring
hot water over eggs. IL the same dish
with the same amount of water is al
ways used, but each cook must make
her own rules.
