STEWARDS WASHINGTON LETTER
BY Charles Y. Stewart

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-"Big busl-
ness" the power behind the present
administration in Washington, goes
into the congressional campaign which
is just starting now, handicapped the
worst way.
It's a campaign in which record
expenditure of money was indicated
as almost vitally necessary if big
business" expected to hold its own in
the next congress. All the signs are
that political public sentiment has un~
dergone marked change throughout
large parts of the country in the last
few months a change which "big
business" cannot but strenuously dis
approve.
Notably, the tariff is under attack.
The tariff is big business most

big business" first thought in
such emergencies - it's been demon
strated in many campaigns before
is to spend plenty of money. Gener-
ally speaking, it turns the trick.
But this time - one of the most
threatening outlooks big business"
ever faced-it's prevented from spend
ing much.
If anything, the filibuster which,
just before congress adjourned. pre-
vented the senate from adopting a
resolution limiting campaign expendi-
lures, only made matters worse.
They're worse because the charge is
being made now that the filibusters
deliberate purpose was to leave big
business" free to spend all it wished
on the coming election, so as to re-
main in control of the next congress,

pleXion of future ones.

Sameron's motive in conducting the

GERMANY PAYS
SKILLED MEN
$9.56 A WEEK

BERLIN, Aug. Z. - The average
skilled workman in the is leading
German industries earns the equiv
alent of 1886 a week of 4S hours,
the ministry of industry and com
merce reports. From this wage the
employers deduct for the federal goY-
ernment an income tax averaging
nine per cent for single persons and
eight per cent for married
The organized building trades
workers, the plutocrats of German
labor, draw $19,15 a week. Miners
rank second with S117O, The aver
age weekly pay of unskilied male
workers is $7.75. The cost of living
as shown by official reports is
almost as high as that outside of
metropolitan districts in the United
States.
Strikes are few because jobs are
scarce. Forty-eight adults out Of
every 1000 men, women and children
are jobless in Berlin,
Warning "inquisitive Germans" to
stay away from the United States, a
correspondent of the, ultra -conserva-

theatres are either kinos or revues.r
Sixty-five per cent of Berliners do
not pay their rent promptly and
about SO per cent are more than one

Until recently it was virtually imA
possible to eject tenants for non

to pay for three consecutive months.
Although this law expired July l,
landlords complain that tenants oc-
cupying apartments before that date
are still protected by the three
months rule and that thousands
barely avoid eviction by paying a

What are called the most enviable
jobs in Germany have been assigned
to group of experts whose duty it
is to sample rare wines from 50
countries on the five continents. The
experts were engaged by the insti
tute for wine cultivation at Frei-

methods for improving German wines.
OF all countries with wine growing

is not represented by samples. The
