LABOR DRAFTING
in TIME OF WAR

Cleveland, o. Oct. 12.-(By the As
sociated Press) s).-Drafting of all la
Dor, from banker to laborer, in war
time, advocated by Col. L. H. Ruggles
of the United States ordnance depart
ment, and announced by William S.
Culberson, vice chairman of the Unit
ed States tariff commission. Of an
order by President Harding that ali
requests under the flexible provision
of the tariff law for a change in
rates should be filed with the COM
mission featured tonight's session of
the American Mining congress-.
when the drafting of labor at
home is mentioned it should not be
understood to apply only to manual
laborers, frequently referred to as
workers." Colonel Ruggles declared.
ut should include every male citizen
physically and mentally capable of
service in the defense of his country.
If we can draft mems lives, we cer-
tainly can draft their business dur
ing an emergency. Such plan
should be of universal application.
1t should apply to the banker as we'll
as to the laborer. Each man would
be required to keep at the work as
signed to him as a soldier must stay
on his job.
"There you'd be no striking for
higher wages, no absence without
leave; no quitting on the job to go
around the block and hold up another
agency for higher wages.
"The conditions of the universay
draft would have to be worked out
carefully; wages and profits would
have to be frozen at figures obtain
ing when war is declared; adjust
mena, of course, would be worked out
in exceptional cases, such as high
cost of production of certain needed
materials, which could not be pro-
duced economically in the amounts
required in times of peace; arrange
nents for just and moderate compen.
sation of owners of plants and eapi-
tai would have to be devised.
"The benefits of such an universal
draft not only in speeding up the pro-
duction of munitions and other ne
cessities in time Of national danger.
but in fastening the return to nor
malcy when, the war is over, are SO
great that the though deserves the
most earnest consideration Of all pa.
triotic Americans"

Show Men Call Union Unique

SAAO" "OA N0A ouhOh unique
One of the mentravelling with
Sparks Circus said Union was quite
. unique little city and wnen asked
in what way he thought 1t unique, he
said, "Why, your people never ap-
plaud or show any feeling when the
seals perform or the bareback riders
do wonderful stunts" The Times rep
resentative agreed with him for one
time during the war the governor of
South Carolina rode through the
streets Of Union during Liberty
Loan drive, and not cheer went up,
not hand clap. The show man was
right there but he said further, "Your
people are the politiest I ev-- saw,
even the small boy and girl say,
"Thank you," for favors. A little tot
stumbled and fell at the show ground
and when lifted to her feet by show
man, said, "Thank you 80 much" and
The Times delivery boys who were
given passes to the show thanked che
manager for the courtesy and he said
that had never happened before in
the history Of his experience with the
show.
Isn't it fine to be unique in seying
"Thank YOU" even if we sit still and
do not applaud? We stand out in
the eyes Of Sparks circus and when
thinking it over, we are unique.

BONDS ARE CLOSER
BETWEEN NATIONS

Washington, Oct. 12.-Tribute To
the work of the Sulgrave> institution
in fostering friendship between Great
Britain and the United States was
paid by Secretary of War Weeks to-
day In accepting on behalf of the
United States the statue Of Edmund
Burke, presented to the people Of this
country by the institution.
Americans and English who have
the best interests of their countries
at heart should enthusiastically in.
dorse and support every means OF
preventing misunderstanding be.
tween the United States and Great
Britain and bringing to closer friend
ship the people of these two great
nations" said Mr.. Weeks. "This is
the task to which the Sulgrave inst,
tuition has dedicated itself in which
it is admirably succeeding"
The bonds Of friendship which have
maintained peace between the two
countries for more than 100 years
were recalled by two officials of botn
England and America when tw.
statues Of distinguished Britons, botn
friends of this country, were unveiled,
the gifts of the institution. The
statue of Burke, friend of the colon
lists in the trying days of the Revo
luton was unveiled in a city park,
and bust of the late Viscount James
Brice, long British ambassador to
Washington, was unveiled in a cor
ridor Of the capitol. Both bronzes
were presented by Sir Charles Wake
field, former lord mayor of London.
Chief Justice Tsft accepted for this
country the gift of the Bryce me-
mortal.
America has never had two strong
er friends than Burke and Bryce"
Secretary Weeks declared, "and GER
tainly they understood America and
it's ideals and aspirations better than
most Englishmen of their respective
lines. Lord Bryce was probably bet
ter known to the people of the United
States than any other British subject
of our time. Edmund Burke died 125
years ago. He never visited America
and there was no particular reason
certainly as far as any official posi-.
ton was concerned, why he should
have given our affairs any unusual
attention. Although a loyal British
subject, no American who has read
history can ever forget the service
Ellh. reudered ourbcountry inst thessaaa1
|of our Stress and his endeavors to
see that our forefathers received jus.
tice at the hands Of the British gov
ernment."

SHIPS AND BOOZE
BEFORE COURTS

Washington, Oct. IL (By the Asso-
ciated Press) Issuance by Federal
Judge Hand Iii New York OF tenn
porary order restraining prohibition
and customs agents from enforcing
the liquor ban against vessels of the
American line was accepted today IN
government circles as effectively
bringing before the courts the ques-
ton Of the authority of the govern
ment In this respect.
Failure Of counsel for the British
owned Cunard and Anchor lines to
obtain . similar order was expected
to lead TO renewal of their petition
either In New York or some other
federal judicial district with more
detailed showing of the damages
which, they allege, would result from
operation Of Attorney General Daugh-
erty's Interpretation of the liquor
statutes.
PRONUNCIATION Of regulations by
Secretary Mellon to carry out the
terms Of the liquor ruling was ex
pected to be automatically postponed
by the effect Of Judge Hands action.
The initial drafts Of these regula-
tions were laid before Secretary Mel
Ion today, but it was indicated that
several material changes were, in his
opinion, desirable before they could
be officially: approved and distributed
to enforcement agents.
An important phase of enforcement
still under discussion was whether
foreign vessels, convictef Of viola
tion Of the Transportation section"
Of the volstead act, wouNi be amen
able to the forfeiture penalty imposed
by that section. Attorney General
pausherty ruled formally that in
such cases the ship, whett er palatial
liner or = coastal tramp, would be
liable to seizure and sale by the gov
ernmsnt. Secretary Nell, n, how

CLIFFORD HAYES +.
GIVEN FREEDOM

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. IL (By
the Associated Press). - The case
against Clifford Hayes, who was held
four days as the slayer Of the Rev
Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs
Eleanor Rhinehardt Mills, blew UP
with boom today, and the authori-
ties turned back in their Investigation
to theories that provided more log
ical motive for the double crime. ..
The blow up came when Raymond
Schneider, Hayes accuser, summoned
Prosecutor Beekman of Somerset
county to the jaiy at Somerville
where Schneider was held as a mas
terial witness, and repudiated his en-.
tire story of the crime. The authori-
ties Immediately renewed their inves-
legations of leads which had been dis
cafded when Schneider's statement
led them to declare they had solved
the case.
The new turn took them back to
the home Of Mrs. Francis Stevens
Hall, widSw of the slain clergyman,
and to thai of James Mills, widower
of the slain choir singer
Detectives visited the Hall home
and took away a fawn colored coat
and scarf which she had had dyed in
Philadelphia since the murders. They
sent it to an analytical chemist for
an analysis of brown spots which the
Philadelphia cleaners reported were
beneath the black dye they had ap-
Piled.
Mrs. Hall is known to have worn
light colored coat in the early
morning of September 1b-the morn
ing after the murders-when, accord
ing to her story, she went to the
Church of St. John the Evangelist,
looking for her missing husband. She
has told the authorities her eccentric
brother, Willie Stevens, accompanied
her to the church and back. Wit
nesses who saw her return home de-
clare she returned alone at about
! 80 a. m.
Detective Fitzpatrick, who went for
the garments, reported that Mrs. Hall
acted "peevish" when he demanded
them. Mrs. HALLS lawyer, however
issued statement saying Mrs. Hall
was glad to surrender them, though
the action came rather late"
James Mills, church sexton and
husband Of the slain choir singer, was
questioned briefly st Prosecutor
Strikers once again &his afternocn
NM 10 nskaEa. .a5 4 s56ps Salesd
him could not be learned.
State troopers, who have become
Increasingly active on the case, le,
it be known that one Of the theories
now entertained is that the slayings
wers perpetuated by party Of fou,
three men and one woman-whc
travelled in two automobiles. Wit.
nesses told, soon after the slayings
were discovered, Of hearing shots and
screams in the vicinity OF the Phil
lips farm and Of seeing two automo.
biles dash down the road toward New
Brunswick.
Unconfirmed reports reached here
from Philadelphia today that the golc
watch removed from the minister:
pocket had been found in Philapel
phia pawnshop.
Authorities made inquiries by Ions
distance telephone and were Informed
that gold watch had shown up II
mysterious manner in a pawnshor
there, but that there was nothing t.
connect it with Mr.. Hall. Detective
Collins went to Philadelphia to checl
up on the watch and also to seek fur.
ther information from the dyeing ant
cleaning firm, which did Mrs. Hall:
