Defying the Government.

If ever strike got off to bad start
il is the strike of the railway shop
men. which began today. 1t is in de-
fiance of the government Of the United
States. and consequently in defiance
of the public opinion of the American
people. The shopmen now will lose
the advantage of whatever merit there
may have been In their contention, for
they have gone on strike without hav-
ing exhausted all possibilities OF peace
full settlement. And no strike thus
launched can expect to have, or ought
to have. popular support.
Had Mr.. Jewell, head Of the shop
crafts union, obeyed the summons to
appear before the Railway Labor
Board in Chicago yesterday. and there
tempt to reach an agreement with the
railway executives, the wOrkmen he
represents would have been In an i'm
measurably stronger position today.
1t will not do for Mr.. Jewell to say
there was no hope of an agreement,
and tn refore it was useless to meet
with the board and the railway execu-
tives. There always is hope. even last
minute hope. when men get together
in a sincere effort to compose their
differences. That the railway execu-
tives were anxious to avert the strike
was evidenced by their agreeing to
abandon the practice of contract work
and to cancel their contracts. This
leaves the shopmen in the position of
preferring the strike. to any sort of
compromise settlement.
Some of their leaders showed a dis
position TO scoff at the statement is
sued from the White House to the ef-
feet that the government stood square
ly back of the Railway Labor Board.
That fact alone ought to be convinc-
ing evidence that these men are un-
safe leaders. The government of the
United States is not in the habit of
indulging in empty threats, and if
these union leaders think the govern
ment is helpless before their organized
strength they have good deal yet to
learn about the institutions under
which they live and to which they
profess allegiance.
In the situation which now has been
created, and for which the leaders of
the shopmen alone are to blame, if the
shopmen were wholly right in their
contentious and the railroads wholly
wrong, public sentiment still would
be against the strikers. The American
people never yet have failed to back
their government in an emergency,
and they will not fail now. Sympathy
will go out to the families Of the
strikers because of the hardships
which they inevitably must endure
and to the great body Of the strikers
themselves, most of whom are indus
trious and sober.minded workmen, but
no right-thinking man can sympathize
with the position in which they have
been placed through the unwisdom of
their leaders.

Chairman Woods.

The new chairman of the republican
congressional committee-Mr. Fess'
successor-is an Indianian. He and
his predecessor learned their trade in
the same school. The politics of the
Buckeye state and the politics of the
Hoosier state are alike in intensive
ness and thoroughness.
Ohio has more to show in the way
of great national rewards for her ac-
tivities, but Indiana through a num-
ber Of her sons holds a. high place
among the states for successful work
done by capable politicians.
The work. this year must be Of the
intensive sort. The loss Of either state
to the republicans would be felt far
and near. Ohio as the Presidents s
state will be most prominently in the
picture, while Indiana as the seat at
one time of aggressive bull moosery,
and with Mr.. Beveridge as a candidate
for the Senate now, will attract much
attention.
Mr. Fess retired from his chairman
ship to take charge Of his candidacy
for the Senate. He will be in the cam
paign, therefore. for all he is worth.
In Indiana Mr.. Beveridge will be ac-
tive in his own behalf. and thus his
services will be rendered with full
energy.

called upon for bVh candidates and

as movement to help win the
|A war. the practice Of cultivating
government park land In
Washington for Individual vegetable
gardens has developed a means Of
recreation and profit for hundreds Of
Washingtonians every year. The
movement has advanced beyond the

and even children busy with the hoe

other variety Of vegetable which can

Some of them come in busses. others
walk, and common sight is to see
the whole family, from papa and
mamma down to the baby who is
parked near the fiivver with his
and insects. Nearby on the golf
course, adjoining the plot set aside
for the gardeners, are the devotees
OF another sport. The main difference
between the two forms Of recreation
is that the man with a driver pays
for the privilege OF chasing a little
white ball across the green. while the
man with hoe gets paid for routing
weed or two from his row of corn
or staying potato bug from his
potato plant.
The gardening project Is unique.
The land in East Potomac Park. COM

into 400 garden plots. which are

To Clean Up the Ocean.

Congress is at last moving in the
matter of oil pollution of ocean wat
ers. With the increasing use of oil
for fuel on ocean-going vessels, the
nuisance is rapidly growing. We
may laugh at the f1nicky woman who
could not go bathing because another
lady was using the ocean, but 1t Is
no Laughing matter when an oily
scum may be driven in by the breeze
and render a popular beach absolutely
less serious than the now well marked
injury to ocean food supplies and the
greatly increased fire risk in oil-pol-
luted harbofs.
It is not a case in which we may
+'clean up our own yard" and be rid
others act or not. We may clean up
any particular spot, and within q
short time the nuisance will come in
from beyond our jurisdiction and be
as bad as ever. All nations which
make any considerable use of the
only by concerted action on the part
Of them all can it be prevented.
The House Of Representatives has
therefore passed Joint resolution,
originating with the foreign relations
committee. and authorizing the Presi-
dent to call a conference Of the mari
time nations for the purpose of de-
vising measures by which the pollu-
tion of navigaable waters by oil
refuse may be controlled. The resolu-
tion now goes to the Senate, and there

Their good intentions l applaud,
Although they caused US to complain
When they had got back home again.
They talked of places far away
And left us all in mute dismay,
Because our minds we can't improve
BY viewing pictures in the "Loove,"
Or wander underneath the trees
In some place called the "Shamps
Eleeze."
We have to walk-the luck seems
On streets and not a bullyvard
We simply had to stay at home
And let the leisure classes roam.
One day, when we had listened long
To their superior guide-book song,
I said: Il wish you'd all come down
And take look at your home town.
We have no palaces so gay,
But what we've built is built to stay
We've got schoolhouse and a bank;
Our town hall with the best will rank.
Good homes on every hand you'll
view;
We've got sewer system, too.

That we have seen at great expense!

Than all the splendors Of Paree.
So. after this I'll settle down

Braid and Vogel
Used by Fuller as
Cloak, Says Witness
Testifies Firm Got Fake
Stock Lists Purporting To
BE Sales and Purchases;
No Actual Trading Done

Detailed testimony as TO how E. NJ.
Fuller & Co., the bankrupt stock
brokers whose senior partner, Edward

eral Sessions, used the firm of Braid

H. Braid. Every morning, Braid testi-
fed, Fuller sent him letter contain
ing two lists Of stocks, one purport-
ing to be list Of sales and the other
a list of purchases, but neither Of
which represented any actual buying
and selling.
Along with the fake lists of stocks
Braid said that there came a check,
large enough to cover the difference
between the fictitious aggregate of
sales and the fictitious total of pur-
chases. This check, however, he did
not keap, but merely deducted from it
brokerage at the rate Of So a hun
dred shares, notwithstanding there
had been no actual transactions, and
then drew his own check for the re-
mainder, which he returned to Fuller.

Braid identified nineteen of the
checks presented to him by Assistant
District Attorney Nelson Olcott, drawn
for from 5000 to $4,000. His transac-

said, and not made for Braid & Vogel.

ON Decision SO Experts
Can Study Market Effect

WICHITA, Kan. Nov. 18.--Opposi-
tion Of the National Grange to the pro.
posed merger Of the Armour and Nor
ris packing companies was voiced here
tonight by T. C. Atkeson, of Washing
ton, legal representative Of the Ma
tionai Grange and member Of the ex-
ecutive committee.
"Our general attitude throughout
the history Of the grange has been one
of opposition to monopoly in any form.
We believe that as there is an increase
in monopoly there must be like i'm
crease in government control or owner
ship. For the more the people give
up protective competition the more
they are giving up their only means Of
protection" Mr.. Atkeson said. "Merg-
ing for greater efficiency and to give
the common people better prices Ia all
rot" he declared.
Praises Work at Capital
Earlier in the day Mr.. Atkeson made
his report before the session of the
work done during the last year by the
national Office in Washington. He felt
that the interests Of agriculture had
received much consideration, and that
the farmer had been fortunate in the
matter of the tariff.
Recognizing the fact that protection
was the fixed policy of the present Ad-
ministration, 1 consistently did what I
could to uphold and emphasize the es-
tablished grange doctrine that what
ever the prevailing tariff policy might
be, agriculture should receive fair and
equitable estimate without discrimi-
nation.
Whatever we may think Of the pres
ent tariff law, feel quite sure that
our effort has settled for all time that
agriculture will not be overlooked in
making up future tariff schedules"
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.--Govern-
ment officials reserved decision to-day
with regard to the proposal for con-
solidation of Armour & Co. and Nor
ris Co., two of the "big five" Chi
cago meat packing concerns, which was
placed before them yesterday by J.
Ogden Armour. 1T was indicated that
final opinion would not be forth

conferences with department experts

Mr.. Armour had expected an early
decision by the government. He re-
mained in Washington and during the
day had half an hours conference
with President Harding. He declined
to talk about his conference with the
executive nor was any statement re-
garding it forthcoming from the White
House. So far as was learned Secre-
tary Wallace had not taken up the
Armour plan with MIR. Harding.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.--William Bross
Lloyd, millionaire communist, and four
associates must go to prison in a few
days by order Of the State Supreme
Court, to serve sentences Of one to five
years for violating the anti-syndicalism
law. They will be locked up Monday, it
is believed
Charles w. Vail, clerk of the court,
mailed mandate for the Imprisonment
of Lloyd and mis- colleagues here to-
day, following Chief Justice Thomp.
sons refusal to grant thirty-day stay.
Since the five men have furnished
sufficient bonds, they will be given 3
day or two in which to adjust their
affairs, it is believed. The week-e end
may cause another brief delay, but un-
less evasion Is attempted all the men
should be in Joliet by Monday.
A report circulated among attorneys
here to-day that Lloyd and his co-de-
PENDANTS would seek pardon as soon
as they reach the penitentiary The
report is said to be based on the dis
senting opinion of Supreme Court Jus
tice Carter, who held the law under
which the conviction was obtained to lie
unconstitutional, and on the fact the
men were convicted under wartime
legislation and are therefore political
prisoners.
William s. Forrest, attorney for
Lloyd, pleaded with Chief Justice
Thompson at midnight for thirty days
Of grace.
"My client must make arrangements
for the management of his Sl,8Oo,00o
estate" the lawyer argued.
"No man going to prison ought to
have that much money" the judge re-
marked, as he refused.
The chief Justices action also affects
eleven Communists sentenced to year
each in Jail, and two who were fined.
The men were found guilty in August,
1920. Appeals have delayed execution
of the sentences until now.
One chance of escaping full service
remains, in spite of the mandate for
imprisonment Lloyd has carried an
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court, and although two incidental mo-
tions before that body were lost, a
reversal of the state courts is still pos
sible.
Illinois authorities do not know
where all of the men are, Lloyd Heth,
special prosecutor, said to-day. They
did not attempt to keep in touch with
them.
"They are scattered all over the
country, / suppose" Mr.. Heth asserted,
"but | think most Of them will be found
without difficulty"
Lloyd and his co-defendants are ac-
cused of plotting to overthrow the gov
'ernment and attempting to set up a
new one based on the principles Of
Red leaders in Europe. The trial
was the first important one under the
new state espionage act.

OXFORD. N. H., Nov. Finger
prints Of Earl NJ. Hibbard, woods
man, who committed suicide at lum-

were taken to-day for comparison with
those on the handle of an ak with
which John and Charles Davis, aged
brothers, were killed. The bodies of
the Davis brothers were found Sunday
light In their cabin here, the heads

So far the possible linking up Of
the suicide and murders by the au-

license, and addressed TO his son Carl.

The other was shoe, stained with
