TREASURY TO SIFT , ATTACK ON YACHT
Action Announced After Beld-

(By Associatefl Press) |

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-A full and complete" investigation has been ordered by the treasury into charges that coast guardsmen fired without warrant upon fishing boat owned by M. M. Bedding of New York, as it was cruising off the Florida coast last Fri day.
 Replying to telegram sent by MT. Fielding to the President, officials ex- plained to him that coast guard head quarters was attempting to run down his charges. The New York man de- clared he had no liquor aboard and was not seeking to escape inspection.

men are not wanted there.
 New York's relations with it's crim- inal classes have been balkanized. One day in Macedonia I listened to a c0mitadji tell of a successful mur- der. For AS hours he had laid on top of a huge rock in the edge of vil- lage. Then the man he hated leaned against that rock to smoke cigar cite. The comitadji leaned down.
 "One slash," he illustrated. "Plooh 1! The blood rushed out"
 For weeks the hills seethed. The soldiers came to make peace. Some hillmen were sent to trial. Others were shot in the fields.
 New York's policemen sometimes campaign as the Serbian soldiers do. Their methods are possibly extra legal but effective. For weeks a tong war has been devastating Chinatown. The On Leongs and the Hip Sing tongs are primarily savings and loan societies formed to back their members in business ventures. Competition reached the gatling stage and fifteen men were killed. Police Commissioner Enright sent for the tong leaders:
 Stop it." he ordered. "Or-"
 The official statement was that they were threatened with deportation. A better guess is that Enright threatened to turn his men loose. There's power of peace latent in nightstick and gun.
 A new dead line has been thrown about the jewelled shoulders of uptown New York. That section centering at Forty-second street and Fifth avenue is

Organized Workers to Force Changes in Con- ditiOns and Insist on Direct Employment

London, March 22.-The London Daily Herald, recently quoted an ar ticle from the Christian Science Moni- tor, which contained the statement that thousands of children, many of Them babies, three or four years old are labor slaves to ccntractors-manu- featuring mems clothing, artificial flow, CTS, hoisery and other commodities sold along Fifth Avenue" hildren are drawn into labor in the same way ill London, according to the London Dr. ganizer. of the Tai1ors' and Carmen, Workers Union, who was manager o1 a mantle factory nine years ago. Der nard Sullivan said:
 StOck-made garments which are sold in the eff yare made by workers in their own homes. Whole families are often working on the garments. At first the mothr simply wants the todd Ter away from the sewing machine, and she lets the child pull out the hastings (facking threads) Presently he learns to sew on buttons and hooks and eyes, seperate flower petals which have been st dam pc taainuom vbgkqj mfwyp f stamped out in mass, and paste pe- ta1s Children can also be Seen in the streets taking the worL to and from the factories in perambulaQrs and pushcarts When the children grow up They go on with the work, which IS
 Al. ,I sometimes sleeps.
 We are against .homefork not only because 1t IS bad for the homeworker, but because 1t makes condition worse for the factory worker. The home worker equipped only with her old treadle sewing machine has to enter into competition with the factory worker and her power machine. And the factory worker IS intimidated by the employer who cites the low rates at which the homeworker IS paid.
 It is true that trade boards have been set up and minimum wage fixed for the trades we represent but there IS no adequate inspection. There are only four trade board inspectors for the whole of London and only Is for The country. But even If they had more inspectors. they would not man age the situation, because they have no technical knowledge. Gu runion is working to get trade officials ap- pointed as inspectors to whom the workers would give proper incarnation and at whom they would not look with suspicion as they do government off ciaS.
 MT. Sullivan gave an instance of how the inspectors are hoodwinked. Tn big firm where the girls are making mems clothing They cannot make the Trade Board minimum wage so the firm gives them what is known as dead horse" This means that they are paid for work that they have mol done i'll order that the rate shall appear cor rect in the books. The work how ever, has to be done 1ater on, The re- suit is that work accumu1ates until probably once a month the girl has to work week without any wages. She will not have anything booked that week. Dead Horse" it appears, is a general practice all over the country.
 The workers themselves assist the employers in evading inspection. MT. Sullivan speaks of numerous instances of men machiners in small Jewish shops who put down their hours of work as being half what they actually

The third newcomer is baby mou-

about one-third the size. Otherwise

Three notable additions to the
family at the National Zoo have been
made during the past week. The
first and most striking is 81 gelada,
a peculiar and rare baboon from the
African jungleS, who will be on ex-
as he becomes acclimated- He prob
ably is the only individual of his
species now in the United States.
Several years ago a. gelada presented
to President Roosevelt by King Mana
lik of Abbysinnia was on exhibition
on the park, but this creature died of
old age. This is an exceptionally
large, doglike monkey distinguished
by patches of bare skin on the lower
part of the neck and on the breast
from which the hair falls away in a
and has a red mantle Of hair over the
neck.
Very Intelligent Creature
The gelada is an unusually intel
ligent animal 1t lives in large herds
and a characteristic is that some
members are detailed to guard duty
while the others grub for food. Com
munity life has been highly developed
in the species.
A notable addition is an African
leopard. The one now on exhibition
species has smaller spots on the fur
and is considered a more handsome

cult to obtain. The large leopard at
