GERMANY WOULD FREE ITSELF
OF THE RUHR AND RHINELAND
Ex-CROWN PRINCE
AND HIS FAMILY
ARRIVE AT 0ELS

Gels. Nov. Is (By A. P)-The
former German crown prince, his
wife. Princess Cecilie, and their
children made a happy dinner party
tonight. this being the first complete
reunion of this branch of the Hohen-
zollern family in more than five
years.
Frederick William, who traversed
the 400 miles from the Dutch border
by automobile, drove up to the castle
at six o'clock. The autumnal dusk
had fallen over the hills, and the
castle gates were only dimly lighted:
SO that the small crowd of townspeo-
pie who had been waiting all after
noon had but "a fleeting glimpse OF
their newly arrived neighbour.
Frederick William hurried into
the inner court. where Princess Ce-
celie, her two daughters and young
est son were awaiting him, and the
party Immediately retired to their
living quarters.
Three cars brought the former
German heir and his followers to
Gels. but as they approached the
place they took different routes, thus
avoiding undue attention.; the wait
ing camera men lost their customary
harvest and there was nothing spec
tacular about the arrival, which was
said to have been completely in
keeping with the promise to the
German government to avoid osten-
tatious display during the course of
the journey

Govt. Takes Step
to Make Binding
Brewery Seizures

Philadelphia, Nov. T3--In an eff
tort to make more binding the seiZ-
ares Of prohibition agents last week
Of 20 breweries in this and nearby
Pennsylvania cities. the government
today filed libel suits against each
OF the plants and the federal court
placed attachments in the hands of
United States Marshall Mathues for
the confiscation of the property,
which it is alleged, had been used
for the illegal manufacture Of beer.
The Hbels were prepared by the de-
partment of justice at Washington
and made no attempt to confiscate
the real estate Of the breweries, but
only the apparatus used. in making
and transporting beer, this, the gov
eminent attorneys said, was in ac-
cord with a recent decision Of fed
eral judge McKeehan.
A strenuous legal battle over the
validity of the seizures and the at
tempt of the government to hold the
property until the final disposition of
the cases is expected. Attorneys for
several of the brewing companies an
nounced tonight they would file pc
titions with the court raising the
question of the right of the govern
ment to deprive the owners of their
property rights. They contend the
action constituted the taking Of pro-
perry rights without due process of
law. and asserted that under the in
ternal revenue libel laws the defen-
dants had right to file bond equal
to the value of the property confis-
Gated and have the property restored
to them.
Nine Of the breweries are located
in this city and eleven in upstate

council of the Amalgamated Shoe
Workers of America late today voted
almost unanimously to instruct their
general offices to invite the state
board of arbitration and Cancellation
to visit Lynn and make an investi-
cation and a report on labor costs
and conditions in the industry here.
A similar motion placed before the
council at q meeting last Friday was
defeated by one vote.
The action of the council is be-
lieved to be the result of poorer con-
ditions here for the industry follow
ing the removal of several firms from

than 100000 square feet of floor
space previously occupied by manu-
facturcrs OF shoes are said to be va

Wy losses.
A suggestion made by the council
Of a 10 percent reduction in wages in
certain lines Of work was reported
to have met with disfavor on the
part of the manufacturers who are
said to have taken the stand that a
mare sweeping revision in wages was
necessary in order to restore business
conditions in the Lynn shoe industry.
