third, assure them that there will be

The miners and the workers want
the mines and factories to remain in
German hands. The workers will not
have to be forced TO their jobs by
French and Belgian bayonets if these
conditions are fulfilled, says Shaw.
The Ruhr workers are ready TO give
up passive resistance tomorrow, he
continues.
Shaw claims that if a settlement is
not reached soon, a great outbreak
will threaten because of food short

Public Promised Legal Pro.
lection Against Dishon-
est Business.
TO PUNISH FAKERS
Assistant Attorney General
Tells of Governments
Campaign.

Minneapolis, Mimi. Aug. ga
promise of legal protection for the
American public against dishonest
business was made here today by As
sistant Attorney General Seymour, in
charge of antitrust prosecutions of
the Department of Justice, in address
ing the national association of at
torneys general.
Mr.. Seymour criticized severely
those who speculate in Ioodstuffs, pro-
moters of fake stocks and other Sc
curities and trade associations operat-
ing to increase commodity prices or
decrease competition.
Commenting on the slogan of "less
government in business" Assistant
Attorney General Seymour declared
that Eve need so much interference
as is. necessary to insure the general
public square deal and an open
count. whenever business men are
secretly attempting 10 exclude others
from competing in their field of ac-
tivity or attempting TO raise and exact
exorbitant prices by artificial means
Scores Food Gamblers,
Speculation in foodstuffs, Mr.. Sey-
mour declared, should not be permitted
and gamblers should be barred from
operating on legitimate exchanges.
Legitimate business. as well as the
public's interest. suffers from such
speculation. he asserted in reference
to the recent "skyrocketing" of sugar
prices which brought the government
ANTITRUST suit against the New York
sugar markets.
"The problem of curbing specula-
ton in the necessities of life is re-
ceiving the most careful ttention of
federal officials" said Mr.. Seymour.
ITO make such exchanges legitimate
and useful enterprises, those trans
actions must be eliminated which are
fictitious and which reflect arbitrary
and artificial prices
Refers to Oil Shutdown.
Discussing the fluctuating prices OF
gasoline in various states, Mr.. Sey-
mour said that the ''oil industry as
"a whole is subject for continuous
observation by federal authorities and
furnishes one of the most important
subjects of investigation by the Do
partment of Justice. .' -"+
He referred to plans of midwestern
oil refinerics to close down this month
because of over-production of oil and
asked why the effects of this condi-
tion in industry should not be passed
along to the consumer.
1T is important" he added, shat
every local instrumentality for refin-
ing and distributing should be care
fully watched in order that state
governments may discharge their du-
ties in furnishing crimes or preventing
illegal practices which tend to deny
the people free and full enjoyment of
natural resources
Prohibition has resulted IN great
benefit TO the public generally, Mr..
Seymour said.

Fargo. n. d., Aug. 2s.-Matchins
every dollar spent by the allied coun-
tries on farm products in this coun'
try with cancellation of n correspond.
ing amount of their war debt to the
United States is contemplated in a
plan presented TO the six-statc farmer
banker conference here today.
George II. Stevenson, farmer and
former president of the federal land
bank of Baltimore. presented the
plan TO the conference. which was
called to decide upon n definite. tan
gible plan of assisting in bringing
about relief for the grain growers OF
the Northwest"
On invitations sent out through all
banks in the ninth federal reserve dis
trict. representatives of agricultural
colleges. officials of farmer bureau
federatiOns and other organizations
met with the bankers.
Mr.. Stevenson's plan is as follows
THAT the government Of the United
States make a proposition TO our late
allies who are indebted to us in ex-
cess of eleven billion dollars. that for
every dollar of farm products they buy
from us. our government will credit
their debt TO us by like amount.
The price paid. for instance. in
the case of wheat. 10 be the Liverpool
price, plus tariff differential of 80
cents per bushcl less transportation
costs.
This arrangement, for a series Of
say from five TO ten years. would re-
suit unquestionably in not only a
premium for our exportable products.
but will also provide a means By which
our allies may wine out their war
obligations to u. thus removing an
other barrier tc our isolation"

ENGLAND PREPARING
FOR 1924 OLYMPICS
BY WALTER CAMP.

Holding Grudgingly to the theory
that highly specialized training for
the athlete is more like business than
sport, England is hevertheless going
into the Olympic games of 1924 to
recover some of the glory she has lost
in athletics in the past few years.
There was a time when she was pre-
eminent in sports, but America, with
her intensity of training, has out
stripped her.
To regain her lost laurels, Britain
is going about preparations for the
Olympic games in d businesslike
way, under the leadership of Brig.
Gen. kentish, commandant of the
Olympic team. He is making an ef
fort to turn out Britain's best for the
preliminary competitions and to send
a team to Paris that is worth while.
A fund is being raised. very modest
in comparison with the large amounts
spent in athletics over here, but still
a reasonable sum, to which the king,
the Prince of Wales and the Duke of
York have subscribed An attempt
is being made to raise more money
by Zoning the country and asking the
towns to give sums according to
population.
it looks as if Great Britain were
in for 1924 in serious earnest.

engagement he will begin to turn his

Impressed F'irpo with the fact that
he has a real fight coming to him
early next month and had better set
about preparing for it.
Tex Rickard is a great admirer of
Willard. Always was And he be-
1ieves that Jess has never revealed
his true greatness. AS a consequence
he has at no time been inclined to
follow the general trend of fans in
ordering flowers for the Pottowatomie
rants obsequies following injuries
received at the hands of the ardent
Argentine.
Firpo's tour among the Latin lands
to the south of US has not been an
unqualified success so far as helping
his reputation is concerned. Luis
banked heavily upon the fact that in
Mexico and Cuba there would be no
greater knowledge of fighters than
his own country. In Cuba it looked
as though he had 'doped it right, but
Just at the wrong moment, in a prac
tice bout. a pork and bean welter

that.
But the Mexicans. who had been
promised the treat of a fight between
Firpo and Jim Hibbard, failed to
swallow the bait. They refused to
lave it called a fight, merely an ex-
hibition. and when it was held they
had soldiers present to prevent the
Indignant fans from breaking 1T up
In the meantime Firpo has not been
teeping any too good care of his diet

brought forth a demonstration from
the spectators, who showed their
sympathy with Nine. Golding. The
