COOLIDGE MAKES
GESTURE AGAINST
ANOTHER TRUST
Binder Irvine Combine
Gets Wrist SLAP
tay rhe Federated Pressl

NEW YORK, July 90. - Suit has
been brought by the Federal Govern
ment in New York to dissolve the
binder Irvine trust, charging conspir-
acy and monopoly in violation of the
antitrust laws since 1920. The bill in
equity charges the defendant with
maintaining a monopoly in sisal,
fibre principally grown in Mexico and
Central America, and asks for an in
junction restraining the defendants
from further conspiracy in restraint of
trade.
The Sisal Sales Corporation, organ.
lied in 1920 and 1921; the Equitable
Trust Company of New York, the
Royal Bank of Canada, the Interna-
tional Trust & Banking Company, and
other corporations and individuals in
this country and Mexico are named as
defendants.
They are charged with engaging "in
! combination and conspiracy in re-
straint of interstate and foreign trade
and commerce in sisal, and having
entered into contracts in restraint of
such trade and commerce, in violation
of the antitrust laws of the United
States; that as a result of such COM
bination the defendants had acquired
complete monopoly in the sale of
sisal in the United States, and have
absolute control over the price of such
commodity"
Since the binder Irvine trust and its
continued freedom of action has long
been a sore spot with the farmers of
the country, the present action by
Attorney General Stone is interpreted
by cynics as bid by the Coolidge
administration for the disaffected
farm vote. Every time the trust
raises the price of Irvine 1 cent a
pound it costs the farmers of the
country an additional 100000 for
the season, it is said.

Workers Wait Six
Months for Court;
Threaten to Strike
(sy The Federated Press,

SYDNEY, N. S. W., July 2S.-Iron

boilermakers, moulders, and iron
workers assistants-are threatening

what they contend should be a proper
wage.

Texas Women Fight
Ice Trust Thru the
Housewives League
(By Federated Press.)

DALLAS, Texas, July 2S.-At the
urgent request OF the Housewives
League the Dallas county grand jury
will investigate the alleged combina-
ton Of local ice dealers to increase
prices.
A boost in prices of 10c hundred
pounds has taken place within three
weeks. Prices range now from zoe a
hundred delivered on a cash basis to
40c If you call and pay for it at the
store room. These small stations have
been established all over the city and
thousands of autos, expensive and
otherwise, stop and get their supply.
Poor folks without autos or Fords have
to pay almost double. The Housewives
League declares that ice can be made
and delivered at fair profit at 55c.

JAP ANESE SEES
VALUE OF PACT
WITH SOVIETS
Minister to China Urges
Agreement
(Rosta News.)

TOKYO, June 80. - (By Mail)-"I
heard that some people"-states Mr..
Yoshizawa, Japanese minister at Pek-
ing in the "Asalu"-"are dissatisfied
with me, saying l ignore Japanese ma
tional interests. But, however, l be-
lieve l understand Japanese interests
better than anybody else. l want to
call attention that you cannot impose
irrational things upon Russia even
though they may be considered ra-
tional for Japan.
japan Loser II No Pact.
"If an agreement is reached be-
tween Mr.. Karakhan and myself, the
best advantages will accrue to Japan.
If however, the negotiations unfor
tunately, fail, this will be a great loss
to Japan, as it will take long time
for their starting again, and can
not undertake to guarantee what may
happen in regard to the fishing season
in the coming year.
Soviets Sincere.
"Some people pretend that Mr.
Larakhan is insincere in his negotia-
ton, but"-emphasise the Minister
none of our diplomatic authorities
has any doubts as to the Soviet Pleni-
potentiary's sincerity towards Japan.
Indeed, Mr.. Karakhan has all thru
been insisting on the necessity of CO.
operation with Japan, in order to es-
tablish and ensure peace in the Far
East.
Il do not want to criticize the in
structions received from the former
Government" remarked Mr.. Yoshiza-
wa, "but | must say that It is impos-
sible to promote negotiations by in
structions whose meaning you do not
understand. However, concluded the
Japanese Minister, II feel confident
that if the present cabinet of Wis
count Kato shares with my opinion,
good results are, sure to follow soon
in the Russo-Japanese question"

to enable the three-watch sys-
tenn to be practically applied,
and to insure the safety of pas
sengers and cargo.
Sailors Didn't Get It.
Under the terms of the LaFollette
seamens act of 1915, the firemen and
oilers got the three-watch system; the
sailors did not. Where they have at
times enjoyed that gain, it has been
the result of trade union negotiation
with the shipowners. The masters,
mates and pilots under Sec. 446S re-
vised statutes, known as the Hardy
act, have the three-watch system on
ocean and coastwise seagoing vessels
of 1000 tons or over.
The new measure proposed by
Brown would require as many licensed
engineers chief and assistant on
each ship as there are now required
licensed deck officers. 1t would re-
duce the tonnage minimum at which
federal regulation of the number of
licensed officers shall apply, and it
would extend the regulation for all
officers to the great lakes, the rivers
and harbors of the whole country.
Affects Hundreds of Thousands.
This means that better conditions
will be secured-if our bill is enacted
for hundreds of thousands of men
on large and small craft on all the
navigable waters of the United States.
to which the federal navigation laws
can be applied" said Brown to The
Federated Press. I'VE shall consider
the draft of the bill in our national
executive board meeting. and we shall
confer again with the representatives
of the other organizations of maritime
workers.
I'VE have joined in the effort to get
the Barkley-Howe railroad labor bill
through congress. When that legisla-
ton is out of the way, ours is to be
taken up. Since it is an S-hour meas.
ure, essentially, we expect to have the
hearty cooperation of the railroad la
Dor organizations"

HUNTING SAFETY WITH
FLINDERS ON

More Regulation" Not the Answer
The enormous death toll, and the
greater accident list which mars the
path OF the progress Of the automobile
is giving city fathers and county po-
lice authorities a great deal of con-
Germ. To meet the situation all sorts
of remedies are being tried, the COM
monest OF which is more drastic
speed regulations, more police, and a
more strict enforcement of the speed
limit
But in many cases it is found that
all such additional safeguards do
not accomplish the result; carelessness
wrecks car just as much when regu-
lated by the police as when no police
are about, and lack of skill causes as
many accidents when licensed as when
outlawed.
Authorities are beginning to believe
that as far as the crowded streets of
the cities are concerned, two drastic
stcA Is must be taken; the flow of
traffic must be controlled either by a
very elaborate system of onc-way
streets, distance control Gas on Fifth
Avenue, New York; or a boulevard
system which eliminates the deadly
crossing; the other step, a real exam
nation and a real standard of pro-
ficiency to which a driver must attain
before being permitted to drive.

Few Faced the Firing Squad.

Out of the many millions Of men
which comprised the British army dur
ing the late war only 346 officers and
men so failed in their duty as to
justify their execution by the firing
squad.
Three British officers were shot
two for desertion and one for muir
der. One man was sentenced to death
'three times, each for desertion. Twice
he was reprieved, but he could not
stand the welter of blood and mud of
the trenches so he deserted again and
the third time he was shot.
Forty other men, after being SEN
fenced to death, were reprieved only
to offend again and be shot. In 266
cases the offense against the military
code was desertion, though 81 men
were executed for murder. Eighteen
were shot for cowardice, three for mu-
tiny and two for sleeping on duty. In
all, $3.50 death sentences were passed.

What Does Your Home

Gee whiz, | can get that job done
at the cut-price printery in another
town for much less, "whereupon the
editor of the paper replied:
"All right, take it to the cut-price
printery, but let me tell you some
thing before you do SO We are boost
ing this town 81 weeks in the year

THIS MAN A BRAVE "SUCKER"
Texan Spent Four Years Running
Down the Crooks Who Had
Swinded Him.

A medal should be struck in honor
Of the Texas man who spent four
years running down gang of crooks
who had defrauded him. Besides
showing unusual bravery-unusual for
the man who has been a sucker-he
rendered conspicuous public service,
says the Milwaukee Journal.
Estimates say that the American
public pays a toll of $1,OOOOOO,0OO a
year to swindlers who use the mails
to defraud. Then there are the fake
stock schemes, the fake land selling
and all other ways of separating a
man from his money. The tribute to
the thieves goes on despite the best
efforts Of the post Office and the bet
ter business bureaus. For the lure of
the chain letter, the offer of home en-
ployment in a field where the victim
has had no training and the chance
to get wealth in the oil fields seems
about as strong as the lure Of the bait
for an inQuisitlve muskellunge
The confidence man is aided by that
trait in human nature which makes a
victim loath to admit that he has been
a sucker. He Is more likely to promise
himself that he will be wiser next time
and pocket his loss. Many swindlerS
aim at collecting small sums only, on
the theory that the loser will not make
a row. But there is sense in the re-
quest of the Post Office department
that every sum lost by such schemes
be reported, even though it be but 10
cents. If all who were defrauded
went after the confidence man reso-
lutely enough he would find things too
lively for his prosperity
