SYRUP MONOPLY!

By International Labor News Service Washington, D. C., Dec. I.-Alleged l monopoly by the Corn Products Re 1 hning Company in the table syrup I industry IS under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission. A pre- Hminary inquiry has been conducted by the commission upon the subject
 of guarantee against decline in price
 in the corn products industry. A six months guarantee given by the Corn
 Products Refining Company on table
 syrupS for the past year IS alleged as the method used for eliminating competition, the Corn Products Com pany being able, by reason of large financial resources, to manipulate the price of its syrup regardless of the market price of maize, the principal raw material, and has in certain in stances paid more than it's outstand- ing guarantees against decline in price.
 Smaller concerns cannot success fully compete against such expendi- lures of millions to hold markets. Corn Products has a capital stock of $50, ,ooa Its total maize grinding capacity Is 45,ooo ooo bushels per an mum. It's nearest competitor grinds o,oooo, 900 bushels of maize a year.
 The commission has reason to be- lieve that the price guarantees of Corn Products Refining Company constitute unfair methods of compe- tition and has issued a formal com plaint requiring an answer in 30 days.

The recent political successes of the workers and farmers in the primaries have convinced many progressives, liberals and radicals alike that practical re- suits CAN be obtained through the present parties It justiles PROGRESSIVE NON PAR TISAN POLITICAL AC- TON.
 Every worker and farmer knows that Democrat like Huddleson will represent their interests just as we'll as a. Re publican like LaFol1ette It makes no difference whether his party emblem is an elephant or donkey Both get results for the producers and if there were majorities made up of such men in both parties, Congress would be truly representative of a great majority of the peo- pie of the nation.
 Sane progressives know that the various groups of liberals and radicals could not unite on five blanks in a new party plat form. They also know that even if they did, the Big Busi- ness interests could split them up on a dozen other immaterial but prejudicia1 issues.
 But those in favor of a third party will point to the farmer labor movement in Minnesota which f elected Senator-elect Shipstead and say, "Seep The leaders of the non-partisan movement in Minnesota, how- ever, are opposed to a national third party at this time.

|PINCHOT TALKS OVER
 LABOR'S PROGRAM
 WITH STATE LEADERS

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. I.-Governor- elect Clifford Pinchot and leaders of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Labor took part in round table dis cussion" last week, concluding an all-day conference at which the state labor federation's legislative program was token up. Afterwards Pinchot said:
 My purpose in coming to this fconfereflce was to have laid before me the program of legislation recom- mended by the Pennsylvania State
 Federation of Labor. 1 was asked for no promises in connection with 1t
 and made none, except the general promise of a square deal to all which
 I made during the campaign and :eh will do !.,,, ,y sas .s: to eas: easy ouf:
 "I appreciate the attitude of the
 federation in refraining from any e
 tempt to bind me to specific measures III advance ot an opportunity to con slider them fully It is the fight wav to oo from every point of view and is high compliment to the man bv whom that attitude is taken. I great ly enjoyed the conference and believe 1t will have good results"
 was announced that compenSa- ton for industrial disease will be sought of the next legislature through an amendment to the Workmen's Compensation Law.
 Efforts are to be made for the 48- hour week for women and to prevent state hospitals in the mining region from being placed under the control of the state welfare department This action followed plea by Thomas Kennedy, Hazleton, president of dis trict seven, United Mine Workers of America, that all state hospitals should remain under the department of health. An effort to increase the two-year appropriation for the Moth CTS Pension Fund to $2, 1000 also will be made
 Committees to study proposed changes in the compensation law and operation of the welfare department were appointed.

PROTESTS AGAINST
 "CHINAFIED" U. 5.
 MERCHANT MARINE

San Francisco, Dec. I.-Chinese, II
 increasing numbers, are manning gov lternments owned passenger and freigh els. declared Andrew Furuseth :, , Vess: of the International Sea
 Is'e pres',oeInt IIn; a letter to Presiden
 Hardings .:/ .1.. In protesting agains- 'nis lshoa. Cnlna1y y
 ing of the American merl odnl lia IL | rine, the trade unionist remin. @u tns chief executive of the historic NaS'
 that nations maritime power de bends not upon ships, but upon its seafaring people. s "A brief analysis of the subsidy bill should prove to you that it ex- pressRy permits the employment of
 Chinese and other. Orientals in the stewards department of each subsi- dized vessel" said President Furu- seth. Of course, you will appreciate that the stewards department in pas senger vessels usually constitutes the
 maj jority of the vessels crew. ''1t has been claimed by spokesmen
 for the shipping board that Ameri-
 cans cannot be found to serve in the
 stewards department of American
 ships. This is claim based upn
 imagination only. Americans do not
 and will not shirk from any honest
 toll If conditions are tolerable. To
 be sure,, the American boy has re-
 fused to work, eat and sleep with Chi
 nese coolies, and this is exactly what
 certain ship owners and managers ex-
 pect him to do.
 We are convinced that the most liberal subsidizing will never create genuine American merchant marine. This can only be done by the develop
 ment of a personnel at least of equal skill and efficiency with the personnel of any competing nation. We feel that highly trained, skilled and efficient American crews are the essential fac tors to the future of our merchant marine. Yet the tendency for the past two years, at least, has been in the opposite direction Men in high au- thority have made 1t their business to discourage efficiency, to mock at skill and to ridicule proper training of young native Americans.
 "The inevitable result of such a policy spells failure for Americas future upon the sea
 Native and naturalized Americans who so gladly responded to the call of the sea when the submarines were creating havoc in the North Atlantic | Have VII lud1ly dI1 OOCh Ihto l other occupations, and the exodus still continues.
 "We call attention to this distress 1 ing state of affairs because the les sons of history upon that subject are exceptionally clear and emphatic. From the days of the Phoenecians and Tyrians, mastery of the sea has been won and held by the nation which could furnish the greatest num- Der of skilled and valorous seamen. No nation has ever developed a sea power unless it furnished the seamen from it's own population. No nation has long retained sea power after its men quit the sea.
 Ships alone have never won bat tie, and the fruits of naval victories are easily dissipated unless the vic tors are backed by a sufficiently numerous seafaring population in their home land. For in the final analysis sea power is in the seamen. Vessels are but the seamen's tools. And tools have always belonged to he races or nations who can use t hem most effectively" 1,

on the ballot in many states in 1924.
 Thirty per cent of the people are blindly partisan. They vote, according to the tide, for either a Democrat or a Repub- lican.
 The great majority in both parties is progressive. When these progressive forces take hold of the two old parties the reactionaries in both of them will combine. The old guard politicians would like to have the progressives split up their forces by forming new party. Let the reactionaries form the third party.
 Tn North Dakota there are no longer party lines. The pro- gressives in both parties have joined in the League movement and elected Senator-elect Lynn J. Frazier on the Republican ticket. The reactionary Re publicans voted for O'Connor on the Democratic ticket. It is an ideal situation when the con- servatives are on one side and the progressives are on the other.
 When a third party obtains control of government the two old parties form a coalition and throw 1t out of power be- fore it has an opportunity to carry out its program. Thus the bi-party system makes for more stable government. If one party sincerely attempts to carry out this mandate of the people its chances are good to stay in power long enough at least to put into law a genuine ly constructive program.

A large audience of Thurmont thea

urday evening when they heard that
the snow had prevented "Odds and

pleasure in reading that the show has

BY A NARROW MARGIN

Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Kanode, of
near Rocky Ridge, ON Saturday after
noon drove their two-horse sled to
within a few feet of the w. M. Ry
crossing before they saw the east
bound train approaching. Mr.. Ka-
node stopped the team, threw the lines
to his wife and attempted to go to the
heads of the horses while the train
was passing. His feet became en-
tangled in the robes and he landed
head first in the snow. When he got
to his feet the train had gone by.
This happened at Zimmerman's
Crossing, below Graceham. This
crossing was so named because it was
here some years ago that Frank Zim-
merman's team was struck, instantly
killing his little girl and Gregg Eichel-
berger, also his horse, he having been
considerably bruised but receiving no
serious injury.

DIR DAVIS MARRIES AGAIN

If reports from the York, Pa, police
department are correct, and descrip-
tons accurate, Dir. W. c. Davis, who
seems to be of a rowing disposition,
with pronounced inclinations for ac-
emulation of many wives, is threat
ened with embarrassing exposures,
should officers land him either in a
Pennsylvania or Maryland court.
Davis married Mrs. Ella M. Finch,
sister of Mrs. G. c. Merritt, Thurmont,
at Thurmont on September %. 1t was
the concluding chapter of pretty ro-
nance begun in South Carolina four
months before. Six weeks later to the
day DR.. Davis left his wife with the
explanation that he was putting on"
! Red Cross play in Hagerstown.
Then he dropped from sight. Search
by the wife and officials in Hagers-
Gown ended in Hagerstown.
But from York, Pa, comes the dis
patch that c. w. Davis, posing as a
retired army officer, and theme
writer for the American Legion, has
deserted his wife of two weeks, whom
he married in that city on December
IS. His York wife was Mrs. Sarah
Hockey SCI Princess street, and their
romance began in Detroit, Mich.
The DIR. Davis who married Mrs.
Finch in Thurmont was described as
being about 60 years old, tall and slen-
der, weighing about $50 pounds. He
had gray hair, blue eyes and a sandy
mustache. He was said to have own
ed an estate at Sacramento, Cal, and
formerly lived in Warren county, New
York.
The York dispatch follows:
Investigation into the activities of
a man named C. W. Davis, posing as
retired army officer, who disappear
ed with 500 less than two weeks af-
ter he married Mrs. Sarah Hockey,
SCI West Princess street, is being
carried on by the White detective
agency. Mrs. Hockey and the pol
ished gentleman were married on De-
cember 1G and on December 28, the
man, with 500 given him by Mrs.
Hockey as payment in part for some
aew house fixtures, disappeared and
has not been seen since then. The
couple became acquainted in Detroit,
Mich.
This missing man is about five feet
ten inches in height. He has white
hair, gray mustache and hazel eyes.
He can speak French fluently and
claims to have served overseas in the
U. S. Army medical corps during the
World War. He said he was go years
old and doctor and writer by profess
sion. When questioned by his bride
as to his ability to gain livelihood
he said he was under contract with
the American Legion to write and
produce benefit plays at a salary of
$3.50 a week. Officers of the local post
of the American Legion believe the
man is an impostor.
