German Trade Drive


irrespective of value in order to capture the
market.
The writer gives several instances of the
prices quoted by the Germans compared
with those quoted by firms of other countries.
He cites the case where large American
firm offered a cement mill f. o. b. New York
for $1,000 the Germans bid on practically
the machine f. o. b. Hamburg for 100000
less.
The Germans, he says, are quoting cement
delivered in any port in Spain at 100 pesetas,
which is about 20 pesetas below the stand
ard price Spanish manufacturers ask. Tram
way tickets they are offering less than half
the sum any of the local people print
them for, and they guarantee delivery in four
weeks as against three months.
The writer concludes that if the Germans
continue their present program they are
"going to drive many of the Spanish manu-
facturers to the WALL

/. w. WIS Lose
"Big Bill' Haywood and 7S other l. w. w.
leaders, convicted in the court of Judge Ken
nesaw Mountain Lands at Chicago, for vlo-
lations of the espionage and the selectlVe
service laws, must serve the sentences and
pay the fines imposed upon them as the re-
suit Of an order by the supreme court.
The l. w. WIS, the court held, received
fair trial in the lower courts and their attor-
neys presented no reason sufficient to JUSTIFY
a rehearing of the case. The main point on
which the I. w. WIS hoped to have their
sentences and fines set aside was the claim
that papers were unlawfully seized in raid
on their headquarters in 1917. Some OF the
evidence thus seized was used in the trial
against them.
The seizure of the papers was under war
rant and therefore legal, the government
held and this view today was accepted by
the court.
The decision handed down by the supreme
court denying the application of a writ or
certorari in the case of Haywood and otners
concludes the last legal step IN the long
drawn out criminal case which followed the
raid conducted by the department of justice
upon the officers and headquarters of the
II. w. w. in September, 1917.
The decision means that Haywood and the
ninety-seven others who were convicted with
him in 1918, must now commence 10 serve
the sentences of from one to tWenty-one
years, which were imposed upon them 5S
