LITWINSKY STILL
PICKETS DESPITE
GROVE THREATS
States Attorneys Men
Tried to BuIIdoze

Israel Litwinsky, one of the ex-
PEELED militants, is still active in the
strike Of the international Ladies'
Garment Workers in spite Of the
threats made to him by Milton d.
Smith, assistant states attorney,
that if he was seen on the picket
line or in strike headquarters he
would be arrested. Litwinsky was
arrested and taken to the state at
torney's Office Monday for question
ing.
When arrested he was not told by
Robert f. Groves detectives what
he was wanted for or whether or not
they had warrant, He was merely
told that he was wanted.
''To He'll With That"
Litwinsky explained that he was
out Of Jail on bond and that he
would have to appear in the South
Clark street police court within an
hour or forfeit his bond. The de-
tectives merely replied: "To hell
with that, come on along"
When he arrived at the states
attorneys Office Litwinsky was
brought into the Office of Milton D..
Smith, one Of the assistant states
attorneys. Smith began questioning
him without telling him what he
had been brought there for or what
charges would be placed against
him.
Legal Rights Ignored.
He was not told that he did not
have to answer the questions put to
him nor was he told about his other
legal rights. Smith and the detec-
tives shot question after question
at him in an attempt to rattle him.
After he had been kept in Smiths
Office for more than an hour Fred
Loesing, Of the firm of Reback and
Loesing Co., 228 S. Market street,
came into the Office and said that he
wanted to prefer a charge against
Litwinsky. He said that Litwinsky
had cut the phone wires of Reback
and Loesing last Wednesday when
the general strike was cailes.
Litwinslxy, who worked for c. H.
Lowenthal in the same building as
the Reback concern before the strike,
said that he had not cut the wires
and that Loesing could not prove
that he had. Litwinsky said that if
Loesing made charge against him
that he would make a charge against
Loesing.
Boss Struck Girl.
Litwinsky told Assistant States
Attorney Smith that Loesing had
struck a girl from his shop who
wanted to go on strike with the
other workers and that the girl had
tainted from the shock of the blow.
When Smith questioned Loesing
about the charge made by Litwinsky,
Loesing backed down and admitted
that he had lied about Litwinskv.
Smith then told Litwinslxy: "Now
we are letting you go because Loes-
ing is a good fellow and he don't
want to send you to Jail. But don't
ricket or take part in the strike or
you will be sent to Jail. You can
go now"
Litwinsky left the states attor-
reys Office and went to the South
Clark street police court.
Back on Picket Line.
After leaving the police court Lit
whisky was just in time to go on
the picket line and talk to the scabs
who were returning to their work
from lunch.
Litwinsky is still busy taking his
part in the strike. II will continue
to do what / can for the strike. The
threats of those lawyers are not go
ing to brighten me- he said.

says the World, that the regulation of child labor should be state function, but the truth is that the states have shown themselves incapable of handl- ing it." Therefore, the World might as well argue, the backward states should be coerced. It might further argue that if they can be coerced with respect to child labor they also may be coerced with reference to any sub ject which some active, well financed group conceives to be a moral reform in which they are tagging. The World departs from it's usual firm policy when 1t remarks that the amendment, of course, is only an enabling act," and commits congress to nothing" Of course, 1t commits congress to noth- ing, but 1t does propose to permit congress to arrogate to itself powers which rightfully belong to the states. The constitution provides that all rights not specifically conferred on congress are reserved by the states. Legis1ating for the protection of chil- dren is a right which belongs to the individual states and which Connecti- cut at least ought to preserve jealous1y. This proposed amendment is pig in a bag. No state can afford to ratify 1t without knowing definitely what is be-
 hind such subtle proposition to give congress control over all young people until they reach the age of eighteen.

 The postal workers declare that this bill more nearly meets the need. of men and women in the postal service than any other measure, and a vigor- ous educational campaign will assure its passage.

DISCOUNT DAWES PLAN BUSINESS IS
 TOLD BY JOURNAL
Justified Cooling as Details Come Out Says the Annalist in
 Comment.

New York, Sept. 6-Politicians are jubllant over the increase in wheat prices and the Dawes reparation plan, but financiers caution business men not to take these claims at their face value
 The Annahst, "a journal of finance, there is discernab1e and probably jus tihed slight cooling from the first flush of business optimism which was enden- dered by high prices for the large crop of American wheat"
 It IS estimated that the farmers have gained $200,O00,O0O by the increase. Against this, the Annalist points out, wages of factory workers throughout the country dropped $600,0Q0,0O0 i'll June, July and August.
 : How much can $20O,000,00 of wheat money do to counterbalance $600000 GOO lost wages and lost purchasing power?" asks the Anna1ist
 In discussing the Dawes plan, this financial journal says the general public may receive false impressions, but this is not true with "those who are awake to the complex and rather unfavorable conditions which are likely to confront our expert trade under the expected conditions of German revival"
 The New York Evening Post says: Some sound judges believe that good deal of nonsense has been talked about the stimulating effect of the separations settlements on American industry"
 All of these observers cautiously point out that with Germany placed on her feet,'' as one writer states, that country will be equipped to supply her own markets and challenge competi- tors. Business men are assured that while conditions are not black, they are far from being as rosy as painted
 Taking a broad view of the situa- tion," says another observer, it appears that as a consequence of the reparations settlement, more goods will be produced in the world. Increased competition and a greater premium on efflffciency ap- pear to be the inevitable results. Incl dentally, 1t is rather difficult to reconcile such an outlook with exception for a higher level of commodity prices"

Millions Dasted
 In Military Camps

Baltimore, Sept. 6.-The government has started suit in the local federal court to recover S,O00,OOO from New York contractors who built the Camp Meade cantonment, near here. The bill of particulars is a story of wild orgy. waste and confusion. Millions of dollars worth of material was a1- lowed to go to waste with no one in authority to save this property that was being paid for out of the peoples savings. Workers were directed to loaf on the job, go fishing, shoot craps and gamble" The cantonment cost of the government S18,O00,000.
 After filing hte suit, the federal dis trict attorney said he did not know when 1t will be tried because of the number of cases now on the docket.
