THE BUILDER

An old man, going lone highway
Came at evening, cold and gray,
10 chasm vast, and deep, and wide
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned, when safe OH the other side,
And built bridge to span the tide
.....saaaslaasss 49,
"Old man." said a fellow pilgrim near,
" \ ou are wasting your strength with build
ing here;
You never again will pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm deep and wide,
Why build you this bridge at evening tde?"
The builder lifted his old gray head
Good friend, in the path have come he said,
There followeth after me today
youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm, that has been as naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may pitfal be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim,
Good, friend, am building this bridge for him."

FARM PRODUCTS
EXPORT BILL
HELD UP
Cong. Weight Leads Committee
FiIibuster on McNary-
Haugen Measure.

filibuster is on in the House
Agriculture Committee against the
McNary-Haugen farm products ex-
port corporation bill A committee
vote, expected last Saturday by
friends OF the legislation, is being
blocked by opponents of the meas
tire. led by Congressman Foigt
tRep) Wisconsin.
Voigt has presented as q sub.
stitute for the McNary- Haugen bill
a plan for a straight barter or
trade of surplus agricultural prod
ucts now in the United States for
foreign goods or articles other than
farm products or their derivatives
Or competitives. such goods or
articles to be brought into the
United States duty free and sold
for what they may bring.
This proposal has been rejected
by the committee as a substitute
for the export, corporation bill but
Voigt is determined TO push it
until he has the committee on
record vote Until he gets his
way the export corporation bill
will be prevented from coming to
vote If he can so manage it.
What strength yoight hopes to
muster for his plan. (which conser-
vative members of the committee
say. .outrivals in Sovietism the Nc
Nary-Haugen plan. isenot manifest.
Weight has opposed the McNary-
Haugen scheme because of soviet
tendency.
Committee members stated today
they were making slow progress
with the legislation. The original
bill has been revised twice The
committee has begun a, third re.
vision and has vet to consider the
script and tariff provisions. which
are confessedly the most difficult
and over which there exists the
widest range of differences of
opinion.
Voigt is having support in his
opposition TO the McNary-HuuGelt
bill from all the Democratic mem
bers of the committee except John
son, w. Va, and Fulmer, S. c..
Congressman Aswell, La, ranking
Democrat, has announced his hos
tility to the principle of the legis-
lation, and changes in it's details,
in his opinion, can not correct its
faults.

MUST.
PAY FOR TEN
j. s. SHIPS
Mixed Claims Commission De-
cides Against Recompense
for Six Others.

The mixed claims commission
has decided that Germany must
pay for the destruction of ten, ves-
sells sunk by Germany during the
war, on the ground they were
privately owned vessels and could
not be Impressed with a military
character, for only the government
can lawfully engage in direct war
like activities
With respect, to three other ships,
the commission decided Germany
was not obligated to pay, on the
ground that at the time of their
destruction they were used by the
United States directly in further
ance of military operation against
Germany or her. allies"
Speedy Action Expected.
The question of valuation was
not decided in the cases of the ten
vessels for which Germany must
pay. These vessels are the Rock
bingham, Motano, Piner del Rio,
Rochester, Moreni, Alamance, Tyler,
Santa Maria, Mersk and Texel. The
other three vessels were the John
G. Mccullough, Joseph Cudahy, and
A. A. Raven.
The commission believes this de-
cision will enable the American and
German agents to prepare speedily
for presentation to the commission
all other claims arising from the
destruction at sea of hulls of YES
sells where such hulls did not con-
stitute naval materials as defined
by the commission.
Insurance Claim Lost.
The commission today dismissed
as remote" the claim of the
Eastern Steamship Lines, Incor.
porated, for reimbursement from
Germany of the aggregate amount
paid in premiums on marine.war
risk insurance taken out in 1918
after German submarines had made
raid on the Atlantic seaboard.
The claimant pointed to that rail
as the proximate cause of the ex-
penditures which constituted losses
it had sustained and had not
passed on to others.
This decision completes the prece.
dents for Diminishing all claims
brought against Germany before
the commission for either the cos.
of war-risk insurance or the excess
in cost of marine or other insur-
ance.

fore the twentieth convention of

Injunctions granted by courts
against striking workmen were bit
terly assailed by President Drumm
who vehemently declared that the
judges were without authority to
issue such injnnctions.
Drumm spoke particularly of
the four murders near Cumberland
during the miners strike there.
For one of the crimes one man
was sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary, while for the othe. I.
three no convictions were secured
"Murderers go free" he said, "be
cause they kill working men, whil,.
many union men go to Jail because
of the prejudice of the court. al.

crimes or none at ALL"
He was particularly bitter against

for bitter attack as an opponent
Of the interests of labor. Delegates
