HARDING CHARGED WITH VIOLATING CIVIL SERVICE LAV
GERMAN CHANCELLOR FORCES
"SHOW DOWN. WITH REICHSTAG
Coalition Parties Fail to Support
Cabinet for It's Policy Dur
ing the Railroad Strike.
(ey The Associated. Press)

BERLIN, Feb. 11.-Chancellor Wirth
has met one of the most critical par
namentary situations of his carer by
forcing show down" with the reich
stag in connection with the impending
vote on four resolutions censuring the
cabinet for its policy during the rail-
road strike.
The coalition parties failed to pro-
tect the chancellor by sending a sup
porting resolution to the presidents
desk, thereby leaving him at the mercy
of the four opposition motions pro-
posed by the nationalists. the German
peoples party, the independent social
lists and the communists.
Although each Of these resolutions
was certain to be defeated by the
votes of the present government bloc,
it was realized that collectively. their
effort would have spelled parlimen-
tary disaster for DR.. Wirth, as the
moral stigma carried by them would
not have been neutralized by the in
direct majority support given to the
chancellor by the clericals, the ma
jority socialists and the democrats
who could muster sufficient votes to
defeat the opposition attack on the
cabinet.
Visible impatienee with this passive
attitude on the part of his principle
supports, brought Chancellor Wirth to
his feet just before the hostile resolu-
lions were put to a vote today.
Rising from his seat at the govern
ment bench, his voice quivering with
emotion, the chancellor in a brief but
impassioned plea demanded that the
reichstag give him tangible and un-
equivocal expression of its confidence,
without which he and his cabinet coll
leagues could no longer conduct the
affairs of the government.
A negative result of vote on the four
opposition resolution, the chancellor
declared, would suffice to make the
cabinet position untenable.
This unexpected attitude dumb
founded both the opposition and the
government parties. and the latter
scurried about in hasty effort to
draft a resolution of direct approval.
The house, however, finally voted to
defer balloting until Wednesday, DR..
Wirth, it is asserted, can safely count
on a decisive vote of approval on his
strike policy.
The session supplied second SEN
sation, when the independent social
lists leader, Herr Dittman, demanded
an investigation of Hugo SHINES be-
cause of Herr SHINES alleged attempt
to barter the German railway system
to an English banking syndicate in re-
turn for a gold loan.
SHINES friends in the reichstag
came to the magnates assistance and
action was postponed.

, Attack on Chairman Lasker
of the Shipping Board.
(By Tho Associates press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.--Charges
of violating the civil service law were
made against President Harding today
in the senate by Senator Harrison
democrat, Mississippi. in an attack
upon republican management of gov
eminent affairs.
In appointing French Crow as post
master of Marion, Ohio, his home city,
by executive order Senator Harrison
said Mr.. Harding had Stamped" the
law under foot. The appointment
which Senator Harrison announced he
would oppose and urge be dismissed
on the floor Of the senate, was, he de-
clared, tho most glaring incident in
the history Of civil service in the
United States"
How can followers OF civil service
have any faith or confidence?1 he
asked. .'This is the beginning OF de-
struction OF the civil service system"
Senator Harrison also attacked
Chairman LaslSer OF the shipping
board. declaring he had made state
ments regarding its alleged economy
OF administration which had not been
borne out, and also criticized an APP
preparation bill provision extending
the annual $4,000 travelling allowance
fund of the president for use of official
entertainment purposes.
Chairman Warren of the appropria-
ton committee defended the travel.
entertainment fund and called atten-
ton to the expenditures abroad OF
former President Wilson. Senator
Warren said that some millions of
dollars had been spent by Mr.. Will
son "and no accounting made for it
yet"
That Senator Harrison was seeking
to inject partisan politics into thc
discussion was charged by Senator
Warren, while Mr.. Harrison countered
with the statement that Senator War

sanship.

attacked again by Senator Caraway,
democrat, Arkansas, and others. Sem
ator Caraway read a letter from the
commission denying his recent charges
that examination marks had been
RAISED arbitrarily and then reiterated
the charges, citing alleged instances
In Arkansas postmaster cases. Senator
Caraway also charged that former

in seeking positions as postmasters.
Senator Harrison said that 1t was a
farce the way postmasters are APP

ment. without republican POLITICAL

URGES FEDERAL AID
TO HELP SHIPPING
would Make 1t. Possible for
Americans to Underbid For
eigners," Says Plummer.
fey rae A.soolated Pres,l

NEW YORK, Feb 11.-Preservation
of the American merchant marine by
federal aid as a means of preventing
other nations from cornering the
worlds commerce, was urged by Ed
ward C. Plummer. commissioner OF the
United States shipping board. in an
address before the National Republic
an club here today.
Mr.. Plummer pointed out that
whereas in the year ending Sept. 20
1920, ships owned in this country car
ried 81 per cent of Americas ocean
freight, they carried only 80 per cent
in the last fiscal year.
''The foreigner has taken from us
the bulk of our ocean carrying busi-
ness" Mr.. Plummer said, 'by reducing
his rates below ours. The only way
have lost is by enabling our ships to
make rates lower than the foreign
ships can meet.
every time the ocean rate on car
goes is reduced 1t means lower cost
to our people on all goods imported,
and it also enables the exported goods
OF Americans to be delivered in for
elgn markets at cheaper price than
would otherwise be possible, thus in
creasing our markets there and giving
increased employment to workmen OF
this country"
Federal aid would make it possible
for the shipping board and private
owners to underbid foreign competi-
ton. Mr.. Plumnner asserted. This, in
turn. would cause billions Of dollars
worth of American owned vessels TO
return to normal value, would enable
the board to dispose of Its property
at more nearly its cost to them and
would firmly establish the American
flag in the ports OF the world.

HINTS FOR THE

The first essential in washing
gloves is to use a good soap--pre-
ferably one rich in fats. The
gloves should be washed upon the
hands in lukewarm water-hot wa-
ter dis. ntegrates the dressing OF
the leather and impoverishes the
gloves. Hard rubbing should be
avoided. When clean. rinse in fresh
Iukewarm water, but do not rinse
all the soap out. Above all, do not
attempt to dry your gloves quickly
and avoid placing them near a fire.
Partly remove the moisture with u
towel. and let them finish drying
gradually in the open air for pref
erence or in a warm room. When
dry draw the gloves through the
hands gently to soften them.
