The Pearlhunter had for some time
been debating with himself whether
or not to warn Solomon of the danger
Gus character of the man that was COM

him from speaking was the fact that
he had no proof-certain knowledge,
but no proof. He decided not to speak
yet.

The bearded lips were drawn so

The Pearlhunter knew the yellow
teeth meant exactly what they seemed
to mean. Louie Solomon's three
guardsmen had a reputation along the

Mask was the same whether dead or
alive. Still, his death would not bring
them any nearer finding the pearl. He

BILE. A few days ago it was reported
that the government had notified the
allied nations that it was ready to
quit and turn over the country to the
League of Nations to manage. The eco
homie and political situation there
seems hopeless. Nearly everyone has
quit work, and a general strike has
been ordered Ito begin Thursday of
this week. Workmen declare they
will remain idle until profiteering
ceases, and demand that the deduc-
ton of the income tax from their pay
envelopes stop until the capital levy
law is put in force. The government
has made drastic regulations against
profiteering, but these often are dis
regarded and extortionate prices are
asked for all commodities not under

of course, are ready to take advantage

General Crowder is helping Cuba
to get out of her political and finan-
cial tangle and the prospect is now
that he will succeed. First he has TAX
en- up the matter of the recent pres
idential elections, recommending that
the thousands of charges of fraud be
cleared up speedily by grouping them
and deciding representative cases.
Then he will undertake to arrange
the islands money troubles. The Gu
ban senate already has passed meas
ure for the extension of the mora
forum for four months on al modified
basis, a plan approved by President
Menocal and probably by General
Crowder. The Cubans are strongly
opposed to the plan of the American
bankers for taking over their finan-
cial institutions, which we're collaps-
ing. They said the bankers asked too
high a rate of interest and too long
a period for the loan offered. 1t is
said the situation is unpleasantly COM
plicated by the activity of our acting
secretary of state, Norman Fl. Davis,
who is reputed to have made for
tune III Havana under the regime of
Gomez, one of the claimants to the
presidency.

by the senate committee and nothing
done until the senators can formulate
a permanent policy on immigration. In
this they are yielding to the opinion
of representatives of certain classes
of employers, including the railroad,
steel and coal people, who told the
committee that the threatened "food
if immigrants from Europe" is a
myth, and that there is no emergency
warranting the passage of the Johnson
measure.
Secretary Frank Morrison of the
American Federation Of Labor told the
committee that the federation's de-
mand was for straight-out protection
from alien labor for a period of two
years. He said that reports just re-
ceived from labor officials in III cities
showed the total number of unem-
ployed in these places to be 1,S19,372,
and said he would not "dare estimate
what the total of all cities would
show"
Figures were submitted by Mr.. Nor
rison showing the unemployed in
Greater New York to be 100000; De-
troit, 10000; Philadelphia, 235,0eO;
Chicago, 100000; Cleveland, 118,OOO;
ST, Louis, 10000; Boston, 5O,0OO Mil
waukee, 10000; San Francisco, $4,000;
Seattle, 1900, and Pittsburgh, 10000.
III contrast to this, he showed the net
immigration, at present rates, would
be 784,OOO a year.

Mr.. Harding's conferences with

soon he will leave Marion for Florida,
where he will write his inaugural and
presumably finish making up his mind
as to his cabinet. Concerning the lat
ter, it was interesting if not pleasant
to read last week that the hyphenated
German Americans newly organized
into a league, were virtually to ask
Mr.. Harding to give place in the
cabinet to German-American. A
committee was selected to carry to
Marion a list of men from which the
President-elect might make a choice.

Only few days previously an at
torney for the international Associa
ton of Machinists presented to the in
terstate commerce commission a petit
ton charging that the larger railroad
companies have united in an open
shop movement designed to disrupt
unionism, and that they are this year
milking the United States treasury to
the tune of $750,OO0.000 through their
car repair manipulation" The cempa-
MES, it is asserted, are closing their
repair shops and giving the work to
outside concerns which charge exorbi-
tant rates. and in this way more than
10000 workers have been thrown out
of employment. According to the ma
chinists. this drive on railroad shop
workers is only one phase of CAPT
talistic "open shop" movement devel-
oppg throughout the country.' which
has for tits real object disruption of
'all legitimate labor organizations and
trade union agreements.

Tchitcherin, foreign minister of SOW
let Russia, has defied the League
Of Nations to send an international
army to the plebiscite region of Lith-
uania, and in a note to the Polish gov
eminent has warned the allies that
the soviet armies will attack any such
force. He asserts the Wilma affair is
not of concern to Poland and Lithu-
ania alone, but that Russia also is
vitality interested.
The Germans are tremendously ex-
cited concerning another proposed
plebiscite, that in the coal region Of
Silesia, for they have convinced them
selves that Poland is planning to
seize that territory before the vote is
held. 1t is said in Berlin that an
army of 175,000 Poles has been con-
centrated near the Silesian bordHr
and at Posen for this purpose The
Poles certainly are getting ready for
action, and are recognizing their arm
les along French lines, but ostensibly
they are preparing to meet the ex-
pected offensive of the Reds.

Probably Killed = Harding In-
auguration to Be Simple
Affairs in Europe.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

American industries and American
business generally are beginning to
speed up and the more optimistic,
like Ebert I'll. Gary, chairman Of the
board of the United States Steel cor
poration, declares there is nothing I'M
favorable to prosperity on the horizon.
Prices of many commodities, including
some lines of building materials, are
coming down steadily, and in many
some instances the reduction being
made by the employers and accepted
by the men and in others being sug-
gested by the workers themselves in
order that the plants may be enabled
to continue in operation.
All this is quite satisfactory to the
ordinary citizen, but there is one dark
cloud, despite the assertions of the OPP
timists. This is the coming fight be-
tween organized labor and capital over
the open shop. There are many signs
that the issue will be joined soon. Last
Wednesday the representatives of
twenty-five state manufacturers assO-
Citations, in conference in Chicago
adopted resolutions pledging support
for the open shop movement. In the
discussion many speakers declared
they would not employ union labor in
their factories and mills, but when the
vote was taken it was made clear that
the resolution did not propose any dis
elimination against the holder of a
union card. In substance the resolu-
ton was:
ut is recognized as fundamental in
this country that all law-abiding citi-
zens or residents have the right to
work when they please, for whom they
please, and on whatever terms are mu-
tually agreed upon between employee
and employer and without interference
or Discrimination upon the part of
others.
1--WE hereby express our purpose to
support these fundamental principles
Of American plan of employment by
the maintenance of>the open shop.
1--WE urge upon our members to Sc
cure by discussion and education the
active support of workers, merchants,
bankers and professional men and all
other elements of their prospective
communities in favor of American
ideals and the open shop
