KRUPP HEADS WANT
DR.. WIEDFELDT BACK
Remind Berlin He Was Only
Loaned to Nation for
Emergency.
By the Associated Pre- SIS.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 25.-The upturn of
DR.. Otto Wiedfeldt. German ambassa-
dor to the United States, to the posi-
ton of one of the leading executives
of the giant Krupp establishment is
viewed here as an early eventuality.
The formal request that he be re-
leased from his post in Washington,
addressed to Chancellor Cuno by the
present Krupp management, reminds
the government that II merely
loaned" DR.. Wiedfeldt to it at time
when there was an acute shortage
of ambassador to the United States
and that he accepted on the promise
that his stay in Washington would
not exceed year.
The fact that the Krupp directorate
has been seriously stripped through
French of DR.. Kruup Won Bohlen and
other executive directors and that the
big establishment is now sorely in
need of capable directing forces. has
hastened the request for his release
from his diplomatic post.
While the government has not yet
given the Krupp management def
mite promise that the request will be
met. it is generally assumed here
that Dr. Wiedfeldt will return from
Washington at an early date.
Dr. Wiedfeldt is comparative new
conner in the Krupp directorate, hav-
ing entered it in 1919. His was the
master mind which evolved and car
ried out the plans for converting the
huge arsenal into a highly organized
workshop devoted to the pursuits of
tpeace. His absence also is keenly
felt in the councils of the league of
industrialists. where he ranked high
as an expert economist and authority
on the problems of labor and produc-
ton.

victed, he said.

being Joined by federal. state and
local officials IN a concentrated effort

ing qualities of fiimsy structures

ceedingly dangerous criminal. He
Kills first without warning, then
robs."

the crimes a parallel. In both in

NO REASON FOR HIGHER COAL BUT OPERATORS FEEL" PUBLIC
 SHOULD PAY BETTER" PRICES
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., Sept. 22.-There is no real reason why coal prices should be increased, but operators 'feel' they are entitled to gouge the public.
 This is the gist of a special dis patch from Pittsburgh to the New York Evening Post-a dispatch that abundantly justihes Gov. Pinchot's suspicion that the coal interests are planning to use the short-lived an thracite strike as a pretext for in creasing coal prices. -
 The Posts dispatch reveals that the sole reason the operators are con sidering increases is the feeling" they have in the matter-a feeling" that ignores the rights of the con stunning public, but is strong for the already well-hlled pocketbooks of the operators.
 The heading to the Posts dispatch lets the cat out of the bag. It says: Coke and Soft Coal Rise. After An thracite Strike-No Large Increase in Actual Buying, but Sellers Feel That They Are Entitled to Better Prices" The dispatch follows:

Trade Unions Lead
 [ In Americanizing

Pueblo, Col, Sept. 22-In Labor dav speech in this city United States Senator Adams declared that organ ized labor is the greatest Americaniz- ing force in this country.
 No other thing can compare with it in raising the standard of the peo- ple," he said. There is no use to talk Americanization to a man with hungry children"
 The speaker favored rigid restric- ton of immigration. Charity begins at home,'' he said. Let's shut the gates. The fellow who cries that we should let foreigners in because they will make cheap labor needs to be Americanized. And it makes no difference whether 1t is Judge Gary or any one else who says this.
 Il have a different idea about Amer icanization than many persons" said Senator Adams. We have distinguish ed men going among the foreigners of this country, bribing them for votes. They need to be Americanized.
 Those who place children in fac tories and deprive them of school and play need to be Amerj""nized.
 The men who stayed at home while our boys were fighting overseas, and who were coining money out of their blood need to be Americanized."

markets have advanced in the past week, the advance being commonly attributed to the anthracite situation Close analysis would indicate that prices advanced not so much on ac- count of there being any large in crease in actual buying, but rather on account of sellers feeling that they were justified in taking a frmer position.
 "In some quarters in the trade there is firm belief that fully two months ago the leading coal opera tors of the Pittsburgh district de- cided that they were entitled to bet ter prices for coal and could get bet ter prices by asking them, but that it would be injudicious to seek to ad- vance prices sharply or rapidly since in that event many small mines that had closed during the second quarter of the year might reopen
 Pittsburgh district steam mine rdn coal is now quotable in the spot market at $2.25 to $2,35, against $2.I5 to $2.25 10 days ago. Early in July, however, the market was $1.oo to o2, and there has simply been a steady stifening. The early part of this advance could not be at tributed to anthracite"

 ''Is there not something suspicious a. bout the wonderful praise of the eapi- talistic press of the country in its con- tinued expression of confidence as to the future of labor because 1t has gone into the banking business ?" asked the teamsters executive, who inquires when the Wall street press. ever before re- joiced over labor's advancement? ?"
 "The Wall Street Journal of Finance, in recent issue, published a story prais- ing labor for its banking undertakings, and on another page in the same issue was an article giving as the reason for unsettled business conditions the dan gerous labor unions that are always cla- moring for more" said President Tobin.

SENATOR SHIPSTEAD- . SCORES INJUNCTION

Duluth, Minn., Sept. 22.-"Govern- ment by injunction is not government by law" declared United States Sen ator Shipstead in a Labor day speech in this city The speaker revealed a wide knowledge of the injunction and its development from the days of Rome when the plebicans found it necessary to elect annually two tribunes with ex- traordinary power to curb economic and political oppression by the patricians
 This was installed in the English sys- lem through the development of chan cery courts. and today the system Is used by the same forces as in the days of ancient Rome.
 "Ihe constant encroaChnent of equity courts upon the province of the courts of law constitutes one of the gravest dangers to a government by law" said Senator Shipstead
 'Goyernent by injunction IS not gov ernment by law. It is government ac- cording to the will and pleasure or conscience of a man. Government by law is a government by the people. Government by injunction is govern -ment by an autocrat. It does away with trial by jury and makes of the cuser and jury It is a system gradu- ally encroaching upon and displacing government by law. As government by injunction advances, government by law passess away"
 Senator Shipstead said that the two most effective weapons of capitalists in their war against labor are the in- junction and the control of credit.
 "The power to assess the war cost on the farmer through low prices was given to capital by the government when the government gave to the federal re- serve banking system the control of dis count rate and the control of money and credits" he said.

STEEL WORKERS FIND TIME.
 FOR SOCCER FOOTBALL WITH
 COMING OF 8-HOUR WORkDAY
By International Labor News Service.

Gary, Ind, Sept 22-With the coming of the 8-hour day in the steel mills, thousands of workmen are find ing time for outdoor recreation, which they had no opportunity of en- toying when working I2 hours a day. AS a result, outdoor games, particu- larly soccer football, are fourishing.
 Peter J. Peel, president of the United States Football Association, which governs soccer in the United States, reports that soccer experts from Chicago are having great sue cess in organizing soccer teams among the mill workers. Discussing progress of the game in Gary since inauguration of the 8-hour workday, he said:
 Most of the workers in Gary are foreigners. In the European coun- tries the one universal game is soccer. Everybody can play it and everybody does. The game has reached it's great est development in Czechoslovakia, and there are thousands of immi- grants from that country in Gary.
 "When they worked I2 hours day they had neither the time, the in clination nor the energy to play at anything Now that they have four more free hours a day, the most nat ural thing in the world for them to do is to revive their interest in soccer. All they need is help in organization, initiative to form groups and promote games.
 "As a result the game of soccer Is taking a greater boom in the vicinity of northern Indiana than in any other section of the United States at the present time.
 Employers are discovering that devotion to athletics IS the finest thing in the world to develop efficient, happy and self-respecting workers. To play a good game of soccer at least once a week a man must take care of himself He must get little prac- tice every day and he has no time for dissipation.
 'When a man gets interested in soccer, he becomes a better workman, and he is proud of that. He plays a good game of soccer, wins applause, and is proud of that. He becomes a self-respecting citizen"
