them submit quietly to arrest.
Its my living" said Einstein to-
day. "a lot of times l am sorry for
them myself, but 1 got to enforce
the law or where do 1 get Off"
There are still many people who
believe the name "Izzy Einstein" is
fictitious and the man behind is
even more so. Nothing of the kind.
This keen, ruddy-faced man tells
of exploit after exploit with a face
that crinkles with laughter. But
for the bootlegger he has neither
laughter nor sympathy. For such
loafers," he says, Il have no pity"
Women. he says, are getting
more and more into the Illicit
liquor game. Many of them have
families, too, but IzZy declares they
are even more game than the men
in submitting to Arrest. Their< chief
woory seems to be fear that their
neighbOrs will know.
Among his DISCUSSES have been
that of a negro-despite his Semitic
cast of countenance; a trombone
player whose wall of How dry 1
am" brought a flask and then an
arrest; in sugar refineries and 9TH
er places, an ice man, teamster,
grave digger which exper-
fence he dug up in a cemetery four
stills with 100 gallons of alcohol;
conductor on the street railway and
stable hand.
His boast is that no assignment
is too difficult for him and he de-
clares today that with his stock of
summer disguises he expects to
pass the 5000 mark in arrests be-
fore the cool weather arrives.

New York, June 10.-When 1zzy
Einstein, prohibition special agent,
meandered into a deiicatessen shop

purchased a Vienna loaf with a
flask of whisky hidden in the center
the most famous enforcement offi-
Ger in the country had totaled his
1,903rd arrest in New York state
and his 1,500th in New York city
since prohibition went into effect
on paper-two and a half years
ago.
Only the day before he had saun-
tered into a garage from which a
small truck, like an undertaker's
wagon, made frequent trips. When
he left the government had seized
100000 worth of liquor from the
Bahamas. This time he was dis
guised as a garage mechanic. 1t
was his 209th disguise.
Incidentally today the hot wealth
er compelled "Izzy" to shift his dis
guises. He has given up his make
up of Broadway and now appears
as the lounge lizard, the idler of
the beach or the mud bespattered
ice man.
In real life this noted sleuth is a
stout. jolly parsonage. who prides
himself on his unfailing courtesy
and boasts of the enormous sums
he has declined when offered as

STATE GUARD
SANCTIONED
BY G0MPERS
Says Union Mans Right to
Join Is Unques-
toned.

Des Moines, Ia, June 10.-(By
the Associated Press s)-Organized
labor stands for the national guard
and sees in it, as opposed to the
large standing armies of European
nations, a symbol of liberty as op-
posed to tyranny, according to a
statement received here by Adju-
tant-General Louis G. Lasher from
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor.
Adjutant- General Lasher says
he believes Mr.. Gomper's state
ment will permanently dissolve the
misunderstanding which, he says,
has existed as to labor unions and
the guard. On May IL, Adjutant-
General Lasher submitted to the
militia bureau of the war depart
ment specific instance of this
misunderstanding. On the basis of
the case submitted from the Iowa
guard. the chief of the militia bu-
reau sought from President Comp
ers information as to the policy of
the American Federation OF Labor
on the questions of enlistment of
union men in the guard. President
Gompers replied az follows;
"A man who is a wage Garner
and honorable, working at his trade
or calling to support himself and
those dependent on him, has not
only the right to become citizen
soldier but that right must be un-
questioned.
Replaces Standing Army.
81
diery of the several states in our
country and supplies what other
wise might take its place, large
standing army.
The difference between the citi-
zen soldier of the United States and
the large standing armies of many
European countries is the differ
ence between the conception of lib
erty and tyranny.
while organized labor stands
against the arbitrament of inter
national or internal disputes by
force of arms, yet we must realize
we have not yet reached the mil
lenium, that in the day in which
we live we have not the choice be-
tween armed force and disarma-
rnent. but the alternative between
a large standing army and a small
one, supplemented by volunteer
citizen soldiery-the militia of our
several states"
Patriotism Is Same.
"This is clear, concise and diff
ferent," General Lasher said, land
should forever set at rest any mis-
understanding as to the attitude of
organized labor toward national
guard service. 1t is simply added
proof that organized labor stands
for the same brand of loyalty and
patriotism as does the national
guard"

CHARGESN. Y.C.
USED COERCION
ON PIECE WORK
Rail Board Begins
Hearing Demand
ed BY JelDett.

Chicago, June 10.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Hearings on charges
that men employed in shops of the
New York Central lines had been
coerced into accepting piece work,
in violation of provisions of the
transportation act, were resumed
today by the United States labor
board.
The hearing on the piece work
complaint was one of the points
demanded by B. M. Jewell, head of
the railroad department Of the
American Federation of Labor, and
the piece work controversy is one
of the propositions on the strike
ballots which have gone out to rail-
way workers whose wages were re-
duCed by the board.
Possibility of a decision by the
board on the question before July
l, the date wage reductions become
effective and tentative date of the
proposed strike, was expressed to-
day.
Says Men Were Threatened.
J. F. McGrath, vice president of
the shopmen's organization, in COM
plants to the board. charged that
the New York Central threatened
TO put shop work on contract or
close the shops unless the piece
work system was accepted.
Jacob Aaronson, attorney for the
road, asserted that SO per cent of
the men in the New York Central
Lines shops at Kankakee. Ill, Elk
hart, Ind, Toledo, Ohio, Engle-
wood. n. J., and Albany, N. Y, had
voted in favor of thee piece-work
plan, while witnesses for the union
testified that the shopmen had vot-
ed overwhelmingly against the re-
placement of day work by piece
work.
More than $50 rail and union off
cials from all parts of the New
York Central Lines attended the
hearing. Completion of the New
York Central case today was indi-
Gated Meanwhile the strike vote
continued. y

ERA OF TRIALS
State to Try 1NCases
Arising From

Charlestown. W. Va, June 10
The shadow of impending trouble
hangs over this sleepy Old COM
munity today. The trials of the
mine workers accused of murder
in connection with the Logan and
Mingo riots and invasions a year
ago will be resumed Monday When
William Blizzard recently was ac-
quilted the farming population of
this community heaved a sigh of
relief. They had expected 10 get
back to normalcy at once But the
state authorities said no. They
were not convinced that the Biz
zard result was a true test. So
they announced that the Rev. j.
E. Wilburn of Blair would face a
jury next Monday accused specifi-
cally of the murder of Deputy
John Gore on August 81. last, on
the Logan county border.
800 Weeks of Court.
That in itself would be bad
enough in the view of the towns
people. But the officials say that
the trial of Wilburn will be only
the first of series no matter what
/ the jury says on the question of his
/ guilt or innocence. 1t goes even
farther 1t declares there will be
a trial of every murder and every
! treason charge here on the indict-
ments returned before the change
of venue was granted. There are
/ 40 treason cases and it required
] five weeks to try Bill" Blizzard.
1t is a problem of simple multipli-
| cation-40 times five, or 200 weeks.
Then there are more than a hun
dred murder cases. Allow a week
at the very least for each and ii
well, it seems so ridiculous to
/ the people of the community.
/ The cost to the union is large
Officials said that it was nearly
$1,000 a day during the Blizzard
hearing. The state had on hand
far more witnesses than the de
fense so that the assumption is thai
the expense exceeded that to the
union. Jurors are paid $3.50 a day
This is better than the usual wage
rate here but the farming pOpula-
tion has its crops to attend to and
it will be hard to qualify even one
additional jury here.
Rev. Wilburn In Jail.
The Rev. Wilburn was arrested
in Tennessee last winter and has
been in Jail in Logan and Jefferson
counties ever since Seven other

admitted to bail but in each cast
the court directed that it produce
its evidence to show the degree o

There is neither curiosity moi

The Massachusetts senator talked
today with Senator BOrah Of Idaho,

mittee, regarding the latter's con
ference last night with Secretary
Hoover and announced that he
would support Senator Borah in
Withholding action for a brief time

with operators to secure price re-
ductions.

Senator Walsh added that if Sec
retary Hoover does not prevent
price increases, the committee
would proceed with an inyestiga-
ton. If this discloses that oper
ators have, under the Hoover
agreement, raised prices for con
tract coal, Senator Walsh said the
attorney general would be asked TO
indict such operators for conspir-
aCy.

ence between Senators Borah and

LEAGUE IS
LAUDED BY
COOLIDGE
Calls It Attempted Ex-
preston of a Noble
Aspiration.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, D. c.. June 10.-Cal-
win Coolidge, vice president and
silent man OF the administration,
has Just unbosomed himself of a
thought which no one in the admin
jstration has thus far before him
yentured to say in public and which
has aroused, as was inevitable, a
great deal of comment whenever
the League of Nations is mentioned.
The league has been for the most
mart tabooed as a subject of praise.
) Even a casual reference to it has
been studiously avoided because of
the sharp lines of difference in
congress. Mr.. Coolidge, who pre-
sides over the senate and listens to
debate with fettered lips and sup
pressed desire, gives vent occas-
ionally to his ideas in public ad-
dresses. He sits at the cabinet
table twice a week and it is re-
ported that he has very little to say
there. He is mostly a listener but
his meditations are noae the less
constant. And 50 the speech which
the vice president made at the
graduation exercises of American
university here this week was
bound to attract attention though it
is fair to assume there was nothing
deliberately significant about the
making of 1t. Mr.. Coolidge is too
discreet to go about making indis-
Greet speeches.
Supported Versailles Pact.
But Mr.. Coolidge was an advo-
cate of international cooperation
before he was nominated for the
vice presidency and he kept on
being an advocate of it during the
presidential campaign of 1920 and
il is a noteworthy fact that he be-
neved in ratification of the Yer
sailIes treaty including the league
covenant with reservations. And
now after a year and a half of Sill
ence on the part of the administra-
ton as to the pledge made in the
campaign of 1920 for an association
Of nations, Mr. Coolidge indicates
that he wishes the public TO belleVe
that the administration of which he
is no unimportant spokesman mas
not forgotten that pledge. He said:
The lessons of the great con-
fict have not gone unlearned.
There is general admission
throughout the earth of a mutual
relationship and a mutual response
bilitv. There is the League of Ma
tions, which, whether il be success
full or not, whether imperfectlons
may be contained within its terms,
is at least the attempted express
sion of noble aspiration for world
association and understanding.
