PROTESTS TO HARDING
FOR NAVY YARD MEN
Machinists' Head Says Dis
charges Are CalIous.

WASHINGTON Feb. IL. - Discharge
without warning Of thousands OF navy
yard workers whose services were no
longer required because Of the arma-
ncent limitation agreement was charac-
terized to-day as extremely inconsider-
ate, heartless and inhuman," and an act
OF broken faith" in a letter sent by
William NJ. Johnston, president of the
International Association of Machinists,
to President Hardlng.t
The Administration was asked to pro-
vide work for the men by taking all
forms of armament manufacture out of
the hands of private contractors and
plants. by speeding up plans for the
construction OF naval auxiliary CRATE
allowed under the disarmament treaty
and by arranging for the manufacture
of ships for the civil government in tho
navy yard plants.
1--WE maintain that proper concern by
the Government for it's employees would
have anticipated the likelihood of this
emergency arising" the letter said.
Instead it has been singularly lax and
apathetic Indeed, it has the very arro-
gance to throw men long in its employ
out Of service on barely an hours notice.
All that we have been able to note Is
a callous lack of interest in and indif-
ference to the problem so serious to all
workers"

THREAT FOR HOOVER
ON RUSSIAN RELIEF.
Secretary Is Sarcastic Over the
Attitude of Those Who
Oppose His Plan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Reiterating
the recommendation, recently submitted
TO President Harding. that American
relief work in Russia be controlled en-
tirely by Americans. Secretary Hoover
tonight assured friends of Soviet Rus
sia' In the United States that they
need not be worried over the possible
political consequences of the expendi-
ture by the American people of $780,
100000 for Russian relief"
The report TO President Harding last
Friday in which more than 200 Russian
relief organizations We're described as
frankly Communistic" seems to have
started something. the Secretary said.
naming Walter Liggett of Chicago as
having telegraphed a demand that
President Harding or Congress do
things to me- for mentioning his ac-
tivities among the Soviet group of COM
mittees. Mr.. Hoover added that Mr.
Liggett had made certain threats sew
eral weeks ago of dire happenings in
case the Secretary failed to indorse
those activities.
IT then honestly recommended to
him. Mr.. Hoover said. "that he either
send to all his committee members
copies of his financial undertakings
with DR.. Dubrowsky, the Soviet agent
most of them had not seen it. or that
he cancel it and arrange for the
Friends Service Committee to absorb
his funds, his publicity and his COM
mittee. I repeat these recommenda-
tions. They are sound"
DIR. Jacob Hartman, DIR. David Du-
browsky. mfr. Loeb and others of
the friends of Soviet Russia" Mr..
Hoover asserted, appeared greatly wor-
ried over "the possible political conse-
quences" of the American people spend
ing $50. 900 on Russian relief.
''Let me take this opportunity" he
said, "to assure them that the 100 un-
armed Americans on the American Re-
lief Administration staff are too busy
trying to save those dying countrymen
to undertake to upset the Soviet army
of 100000. I earnestly advise them
that they may dismiss their fears: these
Americans will never attempt it.
Moreover, / can assure the gentlemen
OF all these radical committees that their
earnest efforts to reduce this country
to the highly uncomfortable standards
of living and conditions of labor now
so successfully established in Russia is
a waste of time. The 100000 they have
raised for Russia probably does not
compensate the losses of other commit
tees through disgust at their constant
maligning of American efforts.
I'm what these gentlemen call our
'capNalistic. imperialistic country. peo-
ple are free to give their money into
charge of anybody they please. but !

BUCKETEERS GET MILLIONS
FROM LIBERTY BOND OWNERS

that the salesman's own mother was
anxious TO take 100 of the shares il
the woman would take the 400 others
and then they could put the deal
through.
She had no money. How about
Liberty bonds? No. he didn't mean
sell them. just put them up for col
lateral on a loan to buy the other
bonds, then when the deal went
through--a matter OF a few days-she
could repay the loan, take down her
Liberty bonds and pocket a nice
profit.
The woman could hardly get the
Liberty bonds to the broker quickly
enough, the outlook was so bright.
But she has not been able to find her
profit, her Liberty bonds or her broker
since.
Another Case Reported.
Here is another complaint recently
made to the District Attorney:
A bucketshop persuaded a man liv-
ing in distant city to buy some stock.
The victim sent a check for $1,000 in
payment.
AS soon as the check arrived the
'broker" discovered a remarkable OPP
portunity to make q quick turnover
of the stock for his client, but his
bands were tied because, unfortunate
ly, the check was not certified and
therefore could not be taken in actual
payment for the stock until after it
had been cleared. That would take
several days.
SO the "broker' got his "client"
on the telephone and explained the
situation. That seemed perfectly rea-
sonable to the unsuspecting 'in-
vestor." Could the "broker" do any
thing about it? Well, yes.' If the
client had any Liberty bonds they
could be dropped in the mail at once
and would be in New York next morn
ing in time to be used as collateral
for loan to carry the deal until the
check could be cleared.
Then the loan could be paid and
the Liberty bonds returned. The
"client" is still waiting for the re-
turn of the Liberty bonds and for the
worth of his money from the check.
Registered bonds, of course, are
virtually immune from that sort of
trickery unless there is written
authorization of sale, but the per-
centage of small bondholders who had
the Liberty bonds registered is de-
plorably small.
The next article on the Bucket Shop
EVIL will be printed tomorrow.

Fewer than dozen republicans would
vote for a motion to strike ont the
Brandegee proposal.
The last day Of the treaty debate

old familiar arguments made against
