CHEMICAL
INTERESTS
ASSA|LE:D
Moses Denounces Foundation
In Attack on Dye Rates in
Tariff Bill. "
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
International News Service


Failing the dye schedule in
the McCumber tariff bill as an
'insolent demand for special priv
ilege," Senator George H. Moses
(Rep.) of New Hampshire today
launched a vitriolic attack upon
American dye interests, banded
together as the Chemical Founda-
ton, ...--- -,
Heralding one Of the, bittefest
tariff fights in history, Moses
fiayed the Foundation, the E. /.
du Pont de Nemours Company,
Francis p. Garvan, former Alien
Property Custodian, Government
officials, and the majority members
of the Senate Finance Committee
for two solid hours. He charged
the dye and chemical Industries
were the spoiled children" Of the
Finance Committee and branded
the dye schedule as Outrageous
and indefensible."
Foundation Assailed.
The Chemical Foundation caught
the full brunt OF Moses denuncia-
ton. He declared American dye
interests. "engulfed in a golden flood
of profits during the war;" had
sought to perpetuate their "stransle-
hold on the public" through organ
ization of the foundation.
Moses swept aside all Senatorial
reticence, which previously charac-
terized the Republican side on the
subject OF dyes, and charged the
foundation was conceived in a con-
spiracy and fostered by falsehood." :"
He went into minute details. reveal
ing how, $50. 900 900 worth of Ger
man patents were seized and sold
to the foundation for a "paltry $780,
000."
In this sale. Moses flayed Garvan
with having carried out the agree
ment by selling them to himself" I"
The property, sold for the $250,00O,
Moses charged, had paid $1,000, 900
in royalties since 1918.
Du Points Got Millions, He Says.
The E. |. DUPONT de Nemours Com.
pany was condemned by the New
Hampshire Senator, who charged
they had drawn upon the Federal
Treasury to float their own securi-
ties. Moses further charged $780,
000, 900 of public moneys had been
loaned to the Du Points during the
war "of which $35,121 900 has never
been paid back and is yet unaccount.
ed for"
The proposed dye embargo, Moses
argued, was desired by the Du Points
so they could mulct the American
public" He declared he
would never vote for the embargo
and called upon all Republicans to
defeat II.
THE dye and chemical Industries
are plainly the spoiled children of the
Finance Committee" Moses began.
Like most spoiled children they are
both greedy and impudent, but dye
is the special darling OF the pair
while his chemical sister serves
chiefly as the scenic setting for tho
tragic farce which has been played
for eight years before the American
public and which reaches it's climax
in an insolent demand for continued
special privilege.

title the most intriguing part of the
play. whereas those who are primarily
interested in Mr.. Hopwoods career
and in the uplift Of the drama are
likely to regard. the piece with mixed

There Is nothing novel or striking
about it. The action is rather slow.

One wonders how long the lesson

men don't need to put up with it at

better than their wives can do with

Hopwood has long been recognized
for his drawing of feminine types.

woman, whom he takes special de-
light in satirizing. This play is no
exception to the rule.

author and admirably played by Flor

C0LUMBIA-Rodolph Valentino,
in "Blood and Sand"

1t 10 the Rodolph Valentino of THE
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"

shown at Loew's Columbia this week.
Juan Gallardo, whom he impersonateS.
is a young Spanish ragamuffin. whose
soul seems to be saturated with wan
derlust and love of adventure.
Blood and Sand" is a story of
little shoemaker of Seville who would
be the greatest toreador of his day.
The underlying theme, which is
waved before the audience in nearly
every other subtitle. emphasizes the
world-old competition between the
glamour of public success and the
depth of the true love of the right
woman.
Perhaps the only adverse criticism
that one would offer of this splen-
did picture would be the suggestion
that Miss Mathis does not evidently
place much faith in the ability of the
average audience to get moral from
the action of the play, itself and rather
overburdens the scenario with undue
wordy emphasis on the motives be-
hind the story.
Mr.. Valentino Is given every oppor-
tunity to display his best points. The
picturesque garb of the Spanish
toreador picturesauely fits him. Even
the minute pigtail. which is the sacred
possession of every true toreador.

which Mr. Valentino manages with
the marked aid of his melting brown
eyes and Quivering nostrils are most
effective. It kept the large audiences

of years ago and has since then had
many successes in drama, plays the
part of Mary Alden, the young wife
who is Inundated to have to con-
stantly ask her husband for every
cent she has to spend and has to ac-
count to him for where and how she
spends it.
Miss Dean, who is a petite. auburn
haired type. is charming in her light
er moments and rises wonderfully to
working up to this point with an
even, artistic treatment that gives
vivid realism to her character Her
skill in the portrayal Is evinced In
that she has not only the under
standing women of the audience with
her every minute, but also holds the
attention of the men who are used
only to the masculine point of view
on this question Of marriage and
money.

LAW MUST BE SUPREME.
Questioned Whether Injunction Is
the Most Effective Means.

To the Editor OF the Star:
1t is manifest that the injunction
obtained by the Attorney General
will be ineffective for the purpose
sought even if sustained by the
courts in the face of the Clayton act.
Would 1t not be simpler and more
effective for the President to de-
clare the rights of way, terminals
and all other properties of the rail-
roads under martial law, enforcing
the same with federal troops under
orders to shoot any person who
comes upon said properties manifest
ing any intent or purpose hostile toI
these properties, or to the employees
of the roads, or to the operation of
the trains?
Such action is not only now i'm
perative, but is justified and made
necessary by the lawless acts of the
strikers, by their open hostility to
society. and to the government and
to every agency thereof.
The supremacy of the laws and
the authority of the government
must be maintained at all hazards or
else anarchy with all it's attendant
evils will inevitably follow
