 RENEWED ATTACKS

tContinued From Pnge une.t ranging from s1.25 and so per cent ad valorem to s3,50 and 50 per cent. Du- ties of 50 per cent on sword blades and 25 per cent on muzzle loading muskets, shot guns. rifles and parts also were approved.
 Supporting the rates on shot guns and rifles. Senator fMcCumber, repub- lican, North Dakota, said the war that he had no doubt the Europeans would be willing to sell them In this country at greatly reduced prices.
 Bicycle Duty Cut
 On recommendation of the com mittee the original rate of 45 cents ad valorem on bicycles and carts was cut to the House figure-30 per cent after Senator Simmons had pro- tested the proposed increase.
 The section of the bill relating to automobiles provoked little discuss sion as no change was made by the committee .n the House rate of 25 per cent ad valorem and under the parliamentary situation then obtain ing, an amendment to this was not in order. The Senate deferred B coun- teryailing duty against automobiles from countries which imposed on American- made automobiles a rate above 25 per cent.
 Senator Townsend, republican. Michigan, said he was more inter- ested in countervailing duty to automobiles than in the straight du- ties proposed. and declared he fav- ored according other countries the same tariff treatment accorded the United States.
 A committee rate of 50 per cent ad valorem on watch cases and parts of watches and on enamel dials was ap- proved. The committee made no change in the House rate on watches.

COURT ATTACHE IS FOUND DEFICIENT

Clerk Must Make Up Deficit of Over $1, ,000, Due to MisconStruCtion of
 the Law

221-2 First National Bank Building
 Montgomery, June 7-(Speeial)- Charles F. Howell, clerk of the re- corder's court of Mobile. was found to be due Mobile county s1,1s6,5o plus $14s.5s interest because of his failure to collect tho proper amounts as so- licitors fees, according to a report submitted to Governor Kilby and made public today. The examination was made by William L. Malmcolmb, state examiner of public accounts.
 MT. Malcomb also charged to Mir. Howell s6t representing fine of s51 and solicitors fee of $1o in the, case of William Mills. convicted of as- sault and battery He said the rec ords do not show that Mills ever paid the fineeand costs or ever served a hard labor sentence in payment of the fine and costs.
 Misconstrues Law
 The large amount charged to Mir. Howell results from a misconstruc- ton of the law relating to solicitors fees in the recorders court. Until 1919 the local act for Mobile county
 
 lars as solicitors fee in each case handled for the state in the record CTS court. In 1919 an act was passed repeating the local act which auto matlcally placed Mobile county under the general law which prescribed so- licitor's fees in all cases. The clerk of recorders court for some time collected the old fees instead of. the fees provided by the general law.
 Fines Were Imposed
 Governor Kilby's attention was called to the large number of cases In the recorders court which showed that fines were Imposed but further showed suspension of the sentences without any indication that the fines had ever been paid or the sentences served. Fifty-nine cases were in- cluded in this list. each case repre- senting 9 suspension of the sentence for 24 hours or more but failing to show that any final disposition be- yond the suspension was ever made.
 The examination of MT Howelrs records covered the period from Jan- uary 1. 1918, to March 31, 1922.
 Examiner Malcomb reported that the records kept by James Berry. clerk of the court prior to the term of MT. Howell, were found to be cor rect.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-06-08

Quite informally and repeatedly" Mir. Hoover's statement said, "sug- gestions as propositions on which the disputants might well confer and hope for a settlement have been made through the department of labor and this department, or both, but thus far these suggestions have been without result"
 The secretary prefaced his state- ment with the declaration that the efforts had been made despite his belief that governmental agencies have no legal authority to terminate or intervene fn the strike"
 MsagurabIe success has beon ob- tained. however, MT. Hoover added, in the governments efforts to pre- vent large price increases resulting from the industry's tie-up through informal conferences with the oper- ators He made the same point clear in . telegram sent from Youngs- town, Ohio. today to the coal section OA kAC NOuAIiAEASW 0pPHk @AhSAes AA @Nh" nection with press reports that Sem ators Borah. republican.

PROTECTING THE RASCALS

Anyone who has to buy builders
materials affected by the defiant
profteering revealed by the Lock-
wood Committee in New York, who
rcjoiced in the sending of some of the
rascally labor leaders and contractors
to Jail, is interested, whether living in
Maine or California. The brazen eff
frontery displayed is now all the
move aggravating because the New
York Legislature has made it impos-
sible to continue the work of the
committee. A representative of the
notorious glass trust led the fight
against the bills which would have
enabled the committee to continue its
good work.
Samuel Untermyer, the chief coun-
sci of the committee, is to probe the
lobby which brought about the de-
feat of the bills. He is adroit and
able but it may be doubted whether
he can overcome the collision with
those in high places. No wonder
there was much drinking of toasts on
the eve of adjournment. Those who
buy the products of the profiteers
will have to pay for the champagne.

MATTER FOR CONSIDERATION

A rum laden schooner boldly I'M
loading it's cargo into waiting vans,
men clad in Scotch tweed suits and
bcdeckcd with diamonds acting as
stevedores and some OF New York's
policemen sitting in an automobile
looking on, surely matter for consid-
Grafton. The further fact that the
smugglers were armed and freely re-
sorted to shooting, when the enforce
ment officials appeared, that IS were
injured, some of them, seriously. also
is matter for consideration.
There is no avoiding the conviction
that money is being made and spent
in large sums by the oot-leggers' in
tcrests; that their success is such as
to give them great confidence: that
the few times their plans fail are
charged off to profit and loss.
Once this conviction becomes es-
tablishcd in the public mind it will
then be capable of better compre-
bending the situation. Either the
Bookkeeping interests will run things
in certain parts of the country or
they must be run out. It's big job
but tho country has put it's hand to it
and will it now withdraw? 1t will not

six declared it did not need to vote,
owing to its private arrangement with
local manufacturers for satsfac Glory
restrictions on all the goods it handled.
A very few recalcitrant unions. per-
haps, even one, could upset the whole
structure of the industry. And the
citizens committee now announces
that these trades hereafter shall be
run on the open-shop basis, that the
men must apply for work individual lily,
agree to abide by the Lands scale,
work peacefully with opcn-shop mon,
and refrain from striking" But
they in turn are guaranteed against
with. the right of appeal to an impair
tial board, and they are to keep their
union membership If they desire"
Such is tho present situation. The
committee has successfully refused 10
modify the terms of the decision or
to throw out the non-union mon who
went to work under the open-shop plan
while the unions still stood out against
the award The committee are on
record for the open shop because in
their judgment the return of the out
law unions under the circumstances
means in a few months a return to the
old conditions of waste, stacking and
graft. The committee also dcnource
the labor leaders for their long and
selfish exploitation of the men And
the committee declare that their pres
ent plan recognizes tho rights of all
and limits the rights of none In the
judgment of the News Bureau the most
significant statement in the last man

RULE OR RUIN

The policy of rule or ruin is very
much in evidence in Ireland these
days. About two weeks ago Arthur
Griffith declared respecting the mu-
tiny among some of the soldiers in
the Irish army that it had been in
cited by DeValera's followers and if
he would condemn it the danger
would be greatly lessened.
Now DcNalera corroborates him by
declaring that there will be civil war
in Ireland if the treaty with England
is accepted at the polls. To prepare
for this his followers are undoubted-
ly ,endeaxoring to raise money from
sympathizers in America. He seems
incapable of working under any other
policy than that of rule or ruin and
it is becoming more and more appar-
ent that if he comes to the rule Of
Ireland he will lead her to ruin.

A WORTHY EFFORT

May success attend the efforts of
the American Legion to find employ
ment for the unemployed ex-service
men.
The conditions which many of them
found when returning to the task of
earning a livelihood have been I'M
favorable. The places from which
they were taken into the service Of
the country were filled. Possibly
their aptitude for the employment
had deteriorated somewhat while in
the service. 1t would not be strange
were this so. 1t may be that they
experienced a disinclination to get
Jack into the harness. They are hui
man beings and due allowance should
be made. Not only that but due re-
gard should be had of the fact that
they were taken for the use of the
country and they served that purpose
creditably. We must not forget that.
The desire Of any person to honor
ably earn his livelihood should be re-
spected and encouraged. Such a de-
sire on the part Of tho ex-service
man Is worthy Of special attention
and effort to assist him. He not only
responded to the call for the supreme
sacrifice, but he now wishes to con-
tinue to do his part in the world.
Help the ex-service man to a Job.

A linpina Leader

On. !. iTlDuneb
Hiram Johnsons great strength in
California was due to public belief in
his progressivencss and nationalism.
He was candidate with Colonel
Roosevelt on the Progressive ticket
in 1912 and was elected Senator in
1916 by big plurality when Califor-
MIA voted for Wilson and Marshall
His candidacy for the Republican
Presidential nomination in 1920 also
made an appeal to many former Pro-
gressives.
His recent record in the Senate has.
however, pretty thoroughly destroyed
the illusion that he is capable of gen.
uinc national leadership. He has as
sociatcd himself with Mcssrs. La Fol-
lette, Borah and France in q fight to
defeat the our-power Pacific treaty
and to wreck the work of the Wash
ington conference. No one questions
Mr.. Borahs great ability. But he is
by nature 4 diSSenter and a free
lance. He comes from 4 very small
state, is for that reason practically
ineligible to run for President and is
at liberty to pursue his own vagaries
in politics. But Mr.. Johnson repre-
scnts a state which is politically SEN
sitive and ambitious. 1t is rapidly
forging to the front and demands of
its Spokesman that they shall help to
increase its prestige and to keep il in
touch with national sentiment and
progress.
On the fOur-poWer treaty issue Mr..
johnson has not done this. His point
OF Wow has been paroChial and OBJ
strCctivc. He has lent himself to
conspiracy of malice and vengeance,
which seeks to reject the treaty not
because of any dcmerits, but solely as
4 measure of partisan retaliation. The
country generally doesn't like this.
Neither do CalifornianS. They are
turning away from Mr.. johnson and
many of them are urging Mr. Hoover
to be a candidate in the coming Sem
atorial primary. Mr.. Hoover is ma
fonal minded. California. undoubt-
cdly, is also national minded. 1t has
good reasons for rescntlng an align
ment in the Senate which links one
OF its votes with those of Republican
irreconcilables like Borah, La Toilette
and France, and also with those of
the die hard" Wilson followers who
Go not oppose the four power treaty
IN principle but simply seek TO sat
lsly personal and fractional grudcc.

BRING THE TROOPS HOME

In a recent speech in the Senate
PoindeXter stated that only about
1000 American soldiers are to be left
on the Rhine. In view of the dispo-
sition of the Allies to haggle over
techncalities about paying them and
in view of the fact that they have
been there solely for the benefit of
those allies why not bring them all
home?
When the Allies receive the note
which Secretary Hughes is writing
their vision may be somewhat
cleared, but be that as 1t may this
policing of the Rhine by American
soldiers under existing conditions is
not one which appeals to the average
American.
