Cartina Willis was her name, Car.
tina Of the fair golden hair and the
blue eyes, the small, slightly tilted
nose and the rather generous mouth.
Cartina was generous, too. Generous
with her time and with her small
amount of money. She had turned
down a weekend invitation for over
the Fourth because she had prom
ised some small children who were
stopping at a summer seashore camp
that she would spend the day with
them.
The camp was near crowded re-
sort. She went through the resort on
her way to the camp, passing by fat
women eating hot dogs and walking
under the blazing summer sun.
At this camp were mothers ana
children who were not able to afford
their own vacations Some of their

lieVed to be anxious to conclude treaty.
At present am holding up offensive
operations and allowing president
time to complete cabinet and try

Excerpts are printed from testi-
mony at the senate investigation of
the Haiti situation. 1t is shown that
the new constitution eliminated the
clause in the old Haitian constitu-
tion prohibiting foreigners from own
ing land in Haiti.
On page 1877 of the testimony, Rev.
L. Ton Evans shows how the consti-
tuition was changed. He describes how
the polls were:
Watched with an eagle eye and
guarded by the negro police especially
officered by the American generals,
colonies, majors, captains and lieu
tenants for the sake of per-
fecting the farce. There were Haitian
dummies sitting handing out the slips
in the box and dummy Haiti COM
missarie sat along side of the Amer
lean marine officer.
"The bundle of pink slips (no)
significantly showing the fraudulent
nature of this whole scandalous busi-
ness, remained on the other side of
the table tied together The poor ma
tive in charge, as we'll as the so-cal1ed
voters, knew these packets were meant
for mere show, for even if cut loose
their terror-stricken Haitian brothers
dared not refuse the 'oui' (yes) but
asked for the nom at the risk of being
imprisoned and shot as an enemy of
the occupation and foe of the United
States government"

the new constitution was indorsed by
vote of 9S,294 yes to 769 no.

WHY BONUS IS OPPOSED

Chamber of Commerce was not taken
fairly, Hanford MacNider, commander
of the American Legion, told the sen

the opposition comes from a small
minority, constituting what may be
termed the big business and financial
interests.
"They have used every form OF
argument to prevent the congress
from passing this bill. | shall insert
in the record an analysis of the
Chamber of Commerce referendum
1t will show that the referendum was
not taken fairly, that the business in

Washington.-A small group OF

the railroads, anthracite coal, domi-
nate soft coal, the steel trust, loco

ment manufacturing concerns, said
W. Jett Lauck, economist, before the

The witness declared that as a re-
suit Of this control by financial inter

ed without protest exorbitant charges
for fuel, materials and supplies and
merely demanded dehation of wages
whenever the question of reducing
operating expenses was discussed.
Mr. Lauck submitted exhibits to
show that the greater factors in
American industry, the railway equip
ment producers, the railway repair
shops, the steel interests, the coal,
cement and other basic material pro
ducers are all closely bound together
by intercapital relations and inter
locking directorates, coming to a focus
in the banking house of Morgan & Co.,
and that the determination of their
major policies centers in and is con
trolled by number of men scarcely
larger than go to make up the ad-

the part of the railway arrangements

Washington. - Charges that the
seizure by the United States of the
republic of Haiti is ''in violation of
our constitution, our treaties and OF
international law" and constitutes
usurpation of power" through "mere
executive action unauthorized by con-
gress," have been made to Secretary
of State Hughes by joint delegation
of eminent lawyers and the represen-
tatives of several national organiza-
tions, all of whom urge the restoration
Of self government to the Haitian
people and the immediate withdrawal
of our military forces.
In connection with this movement
is a report signed by "a prominent
lawyers representing every section of
the country on "the seizure of Haiti
by the United States" The report
circulated by the national popular
government league, takes as basic
authority the hearings recently held
before senate committee. Of the
treaty, under which cover the occupa-
ton is carried on, the report declares
that "Haiti is tied hand and foot to
the United States under treaty fore

STRIKERS WIN IN COURT
FEDERAL JUDGE DISSOLVES HIS TEMPORARY
INJUNCTION AGAINST WESTERN MARY
LAND RAILWAY SHOP AND MAIN
TENANCE OF WAY MEN
First Instance of This Kind and Showing Railroads Evade
Cummins- Esch Law Are Two Outstanding
Features of This Strike

Baltimore. - Federal Judge Rose
has dissolved his temporary injunc-
tion against Western Maryland shop
men and maintenance of way men
who are on strike because wages have
been reducted by concern which has
contracted for the railroads repair
work.
Under cross examination President
Byers of the Western Maryland stat
ed that when he contracted with the
Dickson Construction and Repair
Company he did not know whether
the company had any assets or was
solvent; that he had never asked for
financial statement of the company;
that he had asked for no bond for
the fulfillment of the contract; that
he knew none of the company's di-
rectors and that he did not know
how much stock had been issued nor
to whom.
These proceedings were so unusual
that Judge Rose asked the railroad
official what would happen if the
company went broke" He was told
the railroad would make another CON
tract, to which the court significantly
replied: "You can make contract
like that over night"
In annulling the injunction the
strikers pledged to Judge Rose that
they would use their best efforts to
prevent any one, particularly the
members of their organizations using
methods that would result in the
claim that non-unionists desisted
from their employment through fear.
1t was agreed that there shall not be
more than three pickets stationed at
a factory gate and that "a committee
of not more than three men may
come to the (Hagerstown, Md rail
road station at each incoming train,
and may there, peaceably and quietly
inform persons coming I'm on the
train that there is strike on at the
Western Maryland railway shops and
the shops now being operated by the
Dickson Construction and Repair
Company"
In a signed statement President
Byers agreed that the armed guards
shall not loiter around the streets of
Hagerstown and that their number
shall be reduced "as speedily as in
my judgment | think it practicable" +"
While the court dissolves the in
junction he lets it be clearly under
stood that he does so because the
