TOKYO, Sept 1O.-The Japan Ad-

to Harry Daugherty
tspseIaL q +he nany workerl


NEW YORK, Sept. TO- In calm,
business-llke tones, Richard Merton,
German capitalist, today related In
federal court details of the alleged
$4,000 Liberty bond "pay-off'' in the
transaction whereby he was able to
obtain the return to German interests
OF 100000 from the United States
alien property custodian which had
been seized during the war as Ger
man property.
Harry N. Daugherty, former attor-
ney general In the Harding admins
tration and Thomas w. Miller, alien
property custodian during that period,
are being tried before Judge Mack,
charged with conspiring against the
government in connection with their
participation in this deal.
Where Coin Was Passed.
Merlin testified amid deadly silence
in the courtroom that he turned this
Liberty bond 'slivvy" over to the late
John t. King, Connecticut politician
in the lobby of the banking house Of
Goldman, Sachs and Co, in New York
City.
Merton, a well-knit. business-like
man of about fifty, was brought from
Germany by Emory R. Buckner. Unit
ed States attorney, to disclose details
of the alleged scheme.
Merton testified he went to the
brokerage house and got the bonds
in two patches S195,OOO in second
AIS and $4,000 in AIS.
End of Relationship.

testified AftsrI gave him the bonds

ernment's case. then introduced into
evidence the receipt Merton said he
gave the brokerage company for the
bonds.
The receipt was signed by Merton.

Received by the order of the So
ciete Suisse 1891, 900"
The Societe Suisse was one of the
companies abroad that Merton was
representing in his special trip to this
country to effect the return of seized
alien property.
Asked for Retainer.
Next in Importance to Merton's ex-
PLANTATION Of the "divvy" was his state
ment earlier in the day that he had
been asked by King for retainer"
of $4,000 and that he gave it. He
had told King, he said, that he had
employed a lawyer but King informed
him a lawyer was not necessary.
He said he paid King by check;
that the check was drawn on the
Chase National bank and that it was
made payable to King.
Merton was entirely unmoved as he
related details of the alleged deal "for
the return of the seized foreign prop
erty." He frequently looked straight
at the former attorney general as he
testified.

During tho month Just closed it OK.

tiaI gain over July.
Smash World Record.
Norfolk and Newport News, twin
ports Of Hampton Roads, which
smashed the worlds record for
monthly coal shipments, exported g.
317,o13 tons, the grand total of the
two ports being s,s17,o1s tons during
August.
At least half Of this amount went
to the British Isles, the seat Of labor's
present fight against organized CAPT
tai. Italy and other continental coun-
tries, as well as South American and
other nations which, in normal times,
get most of their coal from Great
Britain, also received large quantities
of American coal.
More coal was shipped from here
during August than during the twelve
months of 1925, when 81 ships carried
100000 tons from Baltimore.
344 Ships in One Month.
Three hundred and forty-four YES
sells arrived in this port during
August, a record num0er. This is
four more ships than during the pre-
yious motnh. Ships of United States
registry decreased from 1872 in July to
I'll in August.
CT ships from other countries those
flying the British flag led, IS being
from that country. Italy and Norway
divided second place with % vessels
each. Among other countries repre-
septed, were Spain, with vessels;
Japan, Z; Holland, 6, and Germany, 5
vessels.
Two hundred and eleven ships left
for foreign ports, approximately half
of the transoceanic voyages being
made with coal to force Britain's min
ers into serfdom.
Scab Coal Cargo Pays.
These coal-carrying ships get high
charter prices in the maritime rush.
The average voyage from here is con-
sidered from Chesapeake Bay to Oran
or AIgiers. The average rate is $4.10
for each ton carried. Vessels are load
ing from 1000 to 5000 tons, or an
approximate average of $500 tons
each.
Many Of the vessels getting this
rate have been laid up for years in
European ports. The s. o. S. call of
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin OF
the British empire, commandant of
capitals forces in this ruthless war
on the little children, women and men

Gil of the A. f. of L. at a recent
meeting of the department Of indus
trial relations Of the federation. Tho
the constitution of the United Mine

the work Of William Green, head Of
the A. f. of L. and member of the
u NJ w. of A When a known en-
envy of labor praises the work of labor
leaders 1t is time for the workers to
watch out.
L1ASLEY was just as bitter in his
IL attack on the Communists as he
was fulsome. in his praise Of the bu-
reaucrats. He declared that both the
Passaic strike and the needle trades
strike were directed from Moscow and
congratulated the labor leaders on op-
posing Soviet recognition. He praised
labor banks, insurance companies, the
B. & o. Efficiency Plan and the sug-
gestion of the A. F. Of L. council,
that labor, capital and the agrarian
interests should hold a round table
conference and discuss the best means
TO encourage industry and block gov
eminent interference. Thus the lion
lies down with the lamb with the
lion on the outside.
REACTloNARY as the A. F. of L..

bus are not satisfied with it because
it has refused to come out boldly for
American intervention and repudiate
the position of former A. F. of L.
conventions on the American ques-
tion. SO the knights have exhumed
David Goldstein who forsook the relig
ious totem of his ancestors for the
flesh pots of Rome. The A. F. of L..
have their own reasons for not wish
ing to break with Mexico and even
the catholic labor leaders are not
willing to risk a religious civil war
in their unions, even for the organ
grinder on the Tiber.
THE capitalist god was kind to the
4 G. O. P. when President Harding
died. Had he lived another year the
grand old party would be as healthy
as maggoty sheep. On the front
pages of the papers we read of the
indictment of Daugherty and Miller,
for accepting brides from people who
were out to defraud the government.
We read of other republican benefic-
jaries having committed suicide. And
again of Doheny and Fall who are
still lighting indictments, one for hav-
ing leased naval oil lands for song
and the other for having accepted
100000 and a heard of cattle for
his trouble. Harding was a nice fell
low. But al Cts a more reliable cap
italist servant.
GERMANY is now in the league of
NJ nations and the funniest news It'd
bit connected with the incident is
the announcement that Americans
were turned out of the Hotel Metro
pole in Geneva to make room for the
Germans who were known as Huns"
a few years ago. Thus times change.
It would be good amusement to watch
the stoolpigeons who were persecut-
ing anybody caught eating sauerkraut
during the war, grinding their teeth
with rage at the sight Of German dele
gates getting coddled by their former
enemies.
