u. S. Shippers
Are Long Way.
Behind Times
Must Have tp-tO-Date Engines
or Go Out of Business
Entirely

Washington, D. C.-There ap-
pears to be a rift in the claim
that high" wages of seamen is
the reason American vessel own
ers can not compete with other
nations.
Admiral w. S. Benson, member of
the United States Shipping Board,
does not accept this theory, which is
urged in season and out of season by
those who profess to know what they
are talking about.
The seamen have repeatedly point
ed out that their wages is a small
item in ship operation, but this is
ignored by the wise men.
Admiral Benson is now quoted as
saying that American shippers are
behind the times, and that if they
would compete with European ship
ping they must discard the steam en-
gine and install up-to-date Diesel
motor engines. Motor power saves
one-third on fuel and permits more
cargo space by eliminating boilers.
The maritime interests of Ger
many, Great Britain, Norway, Swed-
en- and Italy have ordered whole fleets
of vessels with Disesel engines.
To encourage the installation of
this engine in American ships, Ad-
miral Benson explains that shipping
board vessels are being sold to priv
ate owners that they can equip the
ships with motors without cost to
themselves. Some of these ships
have been practically given to priv
ate owners at cost of from $5 to $15
a ton.
"Unless American shipping adopts
up-to-date engines, it may as well go
out of business" said the naval Off
Ger.

Only Hit High Spots

\ Some ungodly liar, evidently
under the impression that he
was doing something smart, put
3one over on "Barnum" Hirsch-
berg when he called the hustling
manager of the mastadon expo
sition at Johnstown over the

containing the valuable prehis-

Lowe, Notorious
Danbury Halter
Is a Bankrupt
Portion of Factory Rented by
Union Hat Manufacturer
to Handle Overflow

Danbury, Conn.-D. E. Loewe
& Co., famous non-union hat
manufacturer, is bankrupt.
The plant is closed and Dietrich E.
Loewe, head of the concern, who was
dined and feted by manufacturers
associations and chambers of COM
merce, has been confined to his home
for several months by illness. The
firms liabilities total $4,000 and
suggestions are made that the cred
itors accept sixty per cent settle
ment. A portion of the factory has
been rented by union hat marufac-
turer to handle his increased business.
Little publicity is given the col
lapse of this concern that was in the
forefront of a countrywide anti-un-
ion campaign a quarter of a century
ago. Loewe's leading attorney was
Walter Gordon Merritt, whose family
was connected with the c.. HI. Merritt
Hat Company, the cheapest non-un-
ion hat plant in Danbury, and which
has also passed from the industrial
stage.
The Hatters' Union attempted to
unionize' the Loewe concern. Lowe

Daugherty Is
Now on Trial
In New York
Former Attorney Gen. Facing
Conspiracy Charge in
Federal Court

New York-Harry M. Daugh-
erty, attorney general in the
Harding administration, and
who thundered for law and or
der during the railroad shop
mems strike, is on trial before
Federal Judge Mack. He is
charged with conspiracy.
Daugherty's co-defendant is Thorn
as W. Miller, former alien property
custodian Both are accused of con-
spring to defraud the government
through the transfer of 1891 900 in
Liberty bonds and $4,000 in cash, to
arrange" the recovery of $7,000,00O
in assets of the American Metal Com
pany, a Swiss concern of German
ownership. This property was seized
when the United States entered the
war. 1t was under Miller's control.
Two other men who were involved in
the deal-both friends of Daugherty
and Miller-have since died. One of
them, it is claimed, committed suicide
in Washington.
When Daugherty's name was first
connected with the alien property
scandal he protested his innocence
on "his day in court" before the pub
lie passed judgment. A senate COM
mittee attempted to unravel the ques-
ton, but without Daugherty's aid.

Union May Celebrate
Golden Anniversary

Indianapolis, Ind.-As editor of the
Carpenter, Frank Duffy, general Sec
retary of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America,
urges members to consider the fit
ting observance of the brotherhood's
golden anniversary in 1881.
while the date of the anniversary
Is almost five years away, it is none
too soon to begin to plan for the
event." says the labor editor.
AT the present writing the Broth
erhood is 45 years of age. Who can
remember when carpenters worked 10
and II hours day, six whole DAYS
a week? In those days rs cents an
hour was considered good wages.
Many men worked for less than that.
The first fight was for a nine-hour
day. An eight-hour day at that time
was just dream. But it was finally
realized, as was also the Saturday
half holiday. Today some of our loc-
ais are enjoying the five-day week.
The hourly wage scale has constant
ly increased"

Killer Is Reprieved;

Boston, Mass-That he may testify
for Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti, if their seventh petition for a
new trial is granted, Governor Fuller
has postponed the execution of Celes-
tin F. Madeiros, murderer of an aged
bank cashier
Madeiros has made a confession
which involves him in the murder of
South Braintree paymaster, six
years ago. The confession is alleged
to absolve Sacco and Vanzetti, who
were found guilty of the crime.
The governors action has aroused
statewide interest, and one local pa

the courts to get at the heart of what
the defense claims is frame-up.
1t is publicly charged that for six
years the prosecution has concealed
evidence that is favorable to the two
men. At the trial scores of witnesses
sustained the alibis of the accused.

Poison Gas as
War Weapon
War Is Inevitable and Prepar-
alton for War Is
Necessity

WilliamstoWn, MasS.-At the
Institute of Politics Prof. Norris
of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology said that chemical
warfare is a most powerful de-
fensive weapon, and that If this
mode of warfare disappeared it
would not be by international
agreement, but only because 1t
was inefficient. =
Predicting that the next war VIII
start where the World War left OIL,
and that mustard gas will be used
from the beginning, Prof. Norris ask,
ed if the United States should stand
bv and let other nations have a sur
prise ready. He agreed with Sir
James C. Irvine of Scotland that, so
LONG as chemical factories exist they
can easily be converted to make pois-
on gas. and in that sense the scrap
ping of ships and reduction OF armies
would not really mean disarmament.
Sentiment and not knowledge was
the driving force behind the wom-
ems clubs and associations whlch at
tackled chemical warfare prior to the
Washington disarmament conference,
called by President Harding, accord
ing to Prof. Norris. Under the pres
enf structure of society, he said, war
is inevitable and preparation for wal
necessary. Both he and Sir James Y.
Irvine indicated little faith in inter
national treaties that would regulate
the nse of poison gas.

refused to recognize the union md
the hatters asked organized labor not
to buy that product. In September,
1903, Loewe filed suit against the un-
ion in the Connecticut ederal District
Court. He asked $4,000 damages,
which would be three-fold under the
Sherman antitrust law. A state
court levied on the hatters' homes and
their bank accounts. This levy was
under an antiquated Connecticut law
which permitted attachment before
Judgment was rendered.
The A. F. of l.. took up the fight,
which was carried to the United
States Supreme Court. When the de-
cision was affirmed the A. F. of L.
issued an appeal for funds to pay the
Judgment and $222,911.20 was raised.
AS result of the agitation the A. F.
of L. secured the passage of the Clay
ton amendment to the antitrust law.

Reports from Pennsylvania in

The Twilight League
For he's a jolly good fellow,
Which nobody will deny.
ssS
WITH
APOLOGIES


Few towns have the enviable
reputation of being the home OF
more good boosters for honest,
clean, high-grade sport than
good old Newark, and way at
the top of the heap is Bill
Grieser, the popular and effi-
cient Y. M. C. A. general secre-
tary. He's the boy who inaugu-
rated the Twilight League eight
years ago, and has made it the
. wonderful success it has proved
since it first made its initial
bow before the public.
At the opening game about
$50 were present, and the
League boosters felt ultimate
success would be assured II one
thousand people could be at
tracted at one time. Before the
first season closed double that
number passed the gate.
Under Mr.. Grieser's efficient
guidance the success of the Iwl-
light League has increased by
leaps and bounds, until today 1t
is recognized as one of the most
popular institutions of the city
and each year the increasing at
tendance proves it is here to
stay. Permanent Improvements,
grand stand, bleachers, etc.,
have been made at the ball
grounds in White Athletic Field,
and more are contemplated as
rapidly as financial ability will
permit.
The fifty games played this
year were witnessed by $1,000
enthusiastic fans, and upwards
of 100000 people have been IN
attendance since the Leagues
birth eight years ago.
Nearly 5000 attended a single
game this season, and the flnan-
cial report for the year is most
encouraging-the total receipts
being So, ,136.75, which after de-
ducting $2,520.15 for expenses,
leaves upwards of $500 for fu-
ture Improvements and better
ments of the field.
No more enthusiasm is dis
played at the big league games
by the widest of wild fans than
is witnessed right here at the
games put up by our home teams
at the White Field, and all sport
lovers are solidly behind the
Twilight League and "BilP

tor.
