Profiteers Get By
Workers Hold Sack

Washington-While war profiteers
and grafters have been able, to get
their hands on something like $780,
100000, which actually belongs to the
government, and Attorney General
Daugherty and Secretaries Weeks and
DENLY and Mellon and President
Harding exhibit signs of total para
lysis in recovering it, the rule works
just the other way with wages due
workingmen under decisions of the
national war labor board.
Their claims are not paid. The
government is paralyzed when it ap-
proaches the payment of what is their
due. hearings before the house COM
mittee on claims brought out this
class distinction in connection with
the claim of $4,000 workers in the
employ of the Bethlehem Steel Co.
Under an award made by the war
labor board July 81, 1918, these men
and women were granted an increase
in wages for the period from Aug. l.
1918, to Feb. 49, 1919. Bethlehem
Steel refused to abide by the award
VIM. Howard Taft, then chairman of
the board, publicly rebuked the lawyer
for Bethlehem Steel for this repudi-
alton.
When the board was disbanded, an
administrator was continued, under
the department of labor, to finish the
job of getting the money for these
war workers. President Wilson later
transferred the work to the care of
the council of national defense.
At one time some 40 government
accountants were at Bethlehem, COM
putting the amount of wages due each
employe. However, when payment
was about to be made last year by
the government, under its guaranty
of labor board decisions, technical
legal points were raised against it,
and after the international Associa-
tion of Machinists, through Vice Pres
ident David Williams, had protested
to President Harding and Secretary
of War Weeks, the latter referred the
claim to congress.

At Revolver S Point
Girl Forces Stranger
To Drive Her Home

Seated on the front veranda of his
home, 169 Crew street, late Monday
afternoon, Z. L. Huff was consid.
erably astounded, not to say shocked
to see his daughter drive up in an
automobile with a strange man,
jump out of the front seat with
revolver in her hand, and run to-
ward the veranda in evident high
excitement, crying:
"Catch him, daddy! Don't let him
get away"
Mr.. Huff jumped up from his chair
and started for the automobile as
hard as he could run. But a man
cannot run as fast as an automo-
bile, in addition to which discrepan-
cy, fire plug got in the way of
Mr.. Huff's legs and tangled him up
considerably, and the strange man
in the automobile disappeared in a
cloud of dust.
On Tuesday morning Mr.. Huff
went to the municipal court and
swore out warrant for the man,
whose name he gave as Leonard
Jackson, on a charge of carrying a
pistol without a license. He gave
the following account of his daugh-
ter's experience.
Miss Huff went to Stone Mountain
with friend in an automobile; the
motor got out Of fix and they could
not drive back; Miss Huff was in a
hurry and asked Jackson to bring
her to Atlanta, which he agreed to
do: but on the way to Atlanta he
turned off into a side road.
In the course of her remonstrance
with him she discovered a pistol in
his pocket, snatched it out and level
ed it at him, and forced him to drive
her home.
The warrant was turned over to
the sheriff to arrest Jackson.

RIOTS IN GERMANY
GROWING SERIOUS
BY GEORGE WHITE

Especial Gable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1929
BERLIN, Sept. 5.-The rioting
which took place in Charlottenburg
a Berlin suburb Sunday and that at
Eberswalde a few miles from here
merely foreshadows graver interna.
tional trouble in Germany. The
working people ara gradually being
worked up to such high pitch Of
feeling against the high cost Of liv-
ing that they will leven risk their lives
in attempts to force the profiteers to
reduce prices and give laboring peo
pie chance to rest at night without
worrying as to where to get money
for the next days food.
The average German is still wear
ing the clothes and shoes he had four
or five years ago and is looking shah
bier and more run down at the heel
every day. Last month wages were
raised so per cent on an average but
prices at the same time went up be-
tween LAO and 200 per cent, so that
the working man now is worse off
than ever before.
The government is adopting meas
ures to prevent the cost Of LIVING
from increasing out of proportion
with wages but until the two big Ia
Dor parties, the Social Democrats and
Independent Socialists, get together
and pool their votes the laboring peo-
pie have little chance Of improving
their condition. 1t is thought that
these parties may get together this

ATHENS, Ca, Sept. 5.-An effort
On the part of Miss Margaret Col

OF her grandfather, Mr.. J. Fletcher.

planter, who died sever months
ago, failed at Danielsvil1e Monday,
1T was learned here Monday night.

CLARKE QUIT BENCH
To ADVOCATE LEAGUE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Failure
of. the "Taft policy" of liberalizing
the austere United States supreme
court so that justices in that high
tribunal could openly speak their
minds on public and political issues,
was seen today in the resignation
Of Associate Justice John H. Clarke.
Justice Clarke resigned, his
friends say, to enter actively into a
campaign on behalf Of American en-
trance into the League of Nations,
something he feels he could not do
while a supreme court justice.
When former. President William
Howard Taft became chief justice
of the supreme court year ago,
word went around that the "muzzle
is to be taken off the supreme
court" meaning that the members
would mix more with the public
and express their opinions on public
affairs more freely. Coincidentally,
it was Justice Clarke who put that
liberal policy to the first real test.
In a speech in Cleveland several
months ago Justice Clarke came out
vigorously for cancellation by this
government of the huge European
war debt. Immediately there arose
a storm Of criticism, centering in
the United States senate. At least
one senator threatened to bring i'm
parchment proceedings against JUS
tice Clarke.
Since that controversy no member
OF the supreme court has made
public speech or statement giving
an opinion on any controversial pub
lie question. Several have declined
invitations to speak.
Justice Clarke's friends say this
experience led to his determination
to resign. Had he been able to re.
main on the supreme court bench
and discuss the League of Nations
and other questions they declare he
would have remained.
Justice Clarke is also expected to
make some speeches urging America
to cancel European debts. He con-
tends such action is essential to Eu-
ropes rehabilitation.
Former Senator George Suther-
land, of Utah, who on September Is,
will succeed Clarke, is well known
as a conservative of the old school.
Appointment of Mr.. Sutherland will
leave Justice Brandeis the only out
standing Liberal" on the supreme
bench.
Former Senator Sutherland is
widely known among the American
bar for his legal ability. He was
president of the American Bar asso-
citation in 1916.
His ability as lawyer was requi-
sitioned on number of occasions
by the Harding administration. Pres
ident Harding put him at the head
of the American advisory commits
sion in the arms conference, and his
latest commission from the govern
ment was as representative in ne.
gotiations with Norway over war

BANKSTOV REPLIES
To JAMES A. PERRY

Editor The Journal: In your is
sue Of August 20 you published an
article from James A. Perry, In
which he made several false state
ments, which, in justice to me,
believe you will give me space to
correct.
Mr.. Perry states that as chairman
Of the railroad committee Of the
house of representatives that re-
convened that committee the morl-
ing after I had cast the deciding
vote against the public utilities. and
in favor of the people, with the
knowledge that two members of that
committee had changed their mind
and that the bill was defeated.
No such action was taken by the
committee, and the statement to
that effect is a malicious falsehood
that was written by paid hireling
Of the public utilities, but is Endorsed
by my opponent.
So this false statement is nailed
to the post.
Mr.. Perry says I did not get 10000
votes in the last primary for railroad
commissioner. I have never claimed
to have received exactly 10000
votes in that race, but do claim and
can prove got exactly 86,3OS.
Mr.. Perry says only carried my
home county in the last race by only
one vote. Another false statement
Mr.. Perry claims that I have not
the support Of my home paper. I
did have until he conferred with a
representative of that paper. The
editor of that paper will not vote
for Perry. He can't. The other
three papers in Troup, my home
county, are supporting me.
Only three papers in Georgia, that
know of, are opposing me, out of
more than 200.
Mr.. Perry states that / will not
carry my home town and county
Here is what w. G. Lanier, presi-
dent of the First National bank, of
West Point, and Willis Johnson.

Mr.. Bankston is absolutely reli-

and any courtesies shown him will
be appreciated. Mr.. Bankston has
the unanimous support of his horne
town and county, and is in every
way qualified to fulfill the duties
