SAVE S5 MILLION SUNK BY
GERMANS OFF IRISH COAST

All except few bars of the thirty
million dollars worth of gold bullion
which dropped to the ocean bed when
a German submarine sank the Lauren
tic off Donegal, Ireland, have been re-
covered by divers, who since 1918 have
been carrying on their labors 80 feet
below the surface of the sea. The thir-
ty bars remaining in the wreck, it is
expected, will be brought up within a
fortnight.
In addition to the gold, which was
consigned to American bankers, the
Laurentic was laden with almost five
million dollars in silver specie, most
ly in rwo shilling pieces, AL of which
has been salvaged by the divers. The
men have been using a diving spear
with a dial attached that shows
whether the spear point is touching
gold or a base metal such as iron.
The clock like dial is kept aboard
the salvaging ship and is connected
with a spear which is in the hands of
the diver working ninety feet below
the surface. The hand moves to the
left of the zero mark when the spear
is prodded against piece of iron, cop
per OF Quiet SUCH uGldlS5 DuL WnCn IL
touches gold the dial swings to the
right. 1t veered further when it came
in contact with an 18 carat bar than
when it touched one of nine carats.
The apparatus was brought to the
attention of the admiralty in 1920 by
college professor. Previous to that
time the divers in three years of la
Dor had recovered 608 bars, but since
the galvanometer was brought into use
more than 2,100 have been brought to |
the top, each bar being worth from |
$4,000 to $4,000, depending upon the |
standard of the gold and the size of |
the bar.
In the first years of the operation
the divers sent up the treasure in the |
boxes in which they found them, but |
later these wooden chests rotted and
the bars have since been salvaged sep
arately.
The work of the divers, never very
easy or safe, has been made harder
by the activities of the hungry dog
ish which seem to think that they are
The Watchdogs of the wreck. Each
diver carries with him when he goes
below a large knife as protection
against any fish that gets too bold.
Each man receives a thirty-second
part of the treasure he recoVers.

RAILROADS REFUSE
REDUCTION IN RATES

Washington, D. C.-Railroad execn-
tives representing nearly all the trunk
lines in the United States notified the
interstate commerce commission that
they would be unable to grant a volun-
tary reduction in freight rates on
grain for export which President Cool
idge recently asked of them.
Railroad men had concluded, the
committee said, that a reduction in
grain rates would not benefit Ameri-
a farmers, principally because Cana
dian railroads would Immediately fol
low the policy of cutting rates to the
seaboard as they had in the past.
Declaring western railroads were in
no position to stand any loss of rev
enue whatever, the executives said
it would be necessary to reduce rates
on flour and all types of grain as well
as IN wheat If the change in export
rates was made, and this also would
adversely affect the western roads
earnings.

ILHTERAGF MEANS
DEATH TO WORKERS

Illiteracy not only is an obstacle to
the industrial and agricultural devel-
opment of the nation but it spreads
death and injury among labor, the
Federal Bureau Of Education declares.
The bureau says that the New York
State Industrial Commission estimate
that one-half of the accidents in fac
tories. with a resultant loss of $780,
900 per day to industries, are due to
ignorance of the language.
There are 100000 factory workers
in New York state who can not speak
English. In 1915. s11, 500, 900 was paid
out in that state in accordance with
the workingmen's compensation law,
an amount which would be increased
to $35, 900, 900 If to it were added loss
of wages, labor turnover, doctors bills
and administration Of the law.
Statistics of the United States De-
partment of Labor show that the rate
of accidents in the iron and steel in
dustry during a period Of eight years
many of them were ~illiterate. II the
men YER taught to read and write
English it would be a tremendous eco
nomic factor in the inductry through
a reduction in the casualty list.
In the mining industry, it is claimed
that the death of 1000 and the injury
Of $50, 900 could be prevented each
year. Thousands of raw, ignorant,
illiterate foreigners, many of them un-
able to ever read or write their ma
tive language, have been poured into
the great American mining machine
each year and with most disastrous re-
suits. In mining, the most hazardous
occupation in this country, lack of
ability to read the English language
is a tremendous handicap.
The Ford Motor Co. officials state
that accidents have fallen off "a per
cent since their school was establish
ed in 1914.

WISCONSIN UNIONS
ASK COOPERATION

In order that organized labor may
be informed of the unfair policy pur-
sued and unfair products produced in
the state Of Wisconsin, the following
letter has been sent to all labor organ
izations and central councils by the
Building Trades Council and Brewery,
Flour, Cereal and Soft Drink Workers
Union Of Milwaukee, Wis. The COM
munication was read at the last meet
ing Of the Aberdeen Central Labor
council and referred to the Labor
Press for publication:
uihleIn (Ellne) Case.
I'VE wish to make known to you
that q powerful financial group vari-
ously known as The Wisconsin Food
Products Co., The Uihlein (Eline) In
t%erests, The Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co.,
The Schlitz Beverage Co. has for some
time fought every effort of labor to
maintain its unions and has done
everything possible to tear down the
working standards and to reduce the
workers to a state of subserviency.
Labor from many trades is affected by
this anti-union campaign, particularly
the several building trades and the
organizations in the brewery and kin
dred industries.
The Wisconsin Food Products plant
was built with non-union labor, under
contract with an anti-union contractor
the name 'Uihlein' having become
unpopular with a great portion Of
the people the country over because
of their opposition to organized labor,
the output of its products plant
mainly chocolate bars at presents
widely advertised under the name of
Eline,' retaining the pronunciation
but altering the spelling of the now
less popular name Uihlein.'
"The Uihleins, Of Milwaukee, Wis,
besides being the guiding financial
spirits of the Wisconsin Food Prod
ucts Co., also are owners of the Jos.
Schlitz Brewing Co., and the Schlitz
Beverage Co., which plants have been
struck for some time because of the
persistent efforts of the company to
bring labor to its knees. The several
organizations chartered by the Uni
ted Brewery, Flour, Cereal and Soft
Drink Workers International Union
of America and numerous other organ
izations employed in the industry have
struck the plant and are struggling to
maintain their unions and a semblance
of decent working conditions and liv-
ing wages.
Hostile to Organized Labor.
beverages manufactured by this
company are sold under the names
'Schlitz's Tonic, 'Famo,' and 'Schlitz,
the Drink that Made Milwaukee Fa-
NOUS 'Eline' Chocolate Bars, manu-
featured by the same interests, are
sold in soft drink parlors, drug stores
and candy stores and stands.
Our request:
"Ffrst-That every central body and
state federation acquaint local unions
with the hostility of the firm manu-
featuring the above mentioned prod
ucts.
"Second-That every union acquaint
unionists and sympathizers, of the
foregoing and of the hostility Of the
firm manufacturing the above prod
ucts.
"Third-That every unionist pur-
chase products, the manufacturers of
which, are fair to organized labor.
"Fourth-That proper publicity be
given to this appeal by posting same
in meeting halls, through the labor
press. trade journals, bulletins and
labor meetings"
