STUDY YESTERDAY
GIVE IT TIME

A good many people who find that
the enforcement of the prohibition
law is not Tie simple, easJ matter
that they expected it would be, are
now discouraged. They want to give
.up the experiment. They want to
turn back to the free and easy pro-
duction and consumption of alcoholic
drinks. Those who thought the en-
forcement of prohibition would be
an easy matter simply indicated
their ignorance of the human ma

is difficult and serious matter.
1t can be done and in time will be
done in this country but it will
take a great deal of time. Much pro-
gress has been made. The consump-
tion of liquor has been enormously
reduced. The effect on the health
and temper Of the people and upon
growing generation will be such
that the effect will have been worth
while. But it is folly to believe that

Had Power Of Money
Do you know the workings of
the American Indian financial
system?
Do you know that the mint and
the Wall Street of the Indian
money power was located in New
Jersey, and as late as 1887?
The Indian wampum currency is
shown in number of exhibits at
the Newark Museum, the most
interesting of which is that OF
Charles A. Philhower, of Westfield.
1t shows wampum of various
kinds, especially that made in the
factory of the Campbells in Pascack
as late as 1887 This factory was
probably the last in the United
States. 1t made wampum for the
Astors and other traders with the
Indians Of the West.
Many of the large fortunes made
by trading with the Indians were
founded on the use of this New
Jersey wampum. The Astors, for
instance, found the Indians of the
West would not trade furs for the
paleface's money and SO they had
recourse to the wampum made by
the Campbells at Pascock. This
wampum made from conch, mussei
and abalone shells is shown in a
variety of forms in the Newark
Museum exhibit

DOLL PILED UP FAST AS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Henry
Ford's dollars piled up in the banks
so fast that by 1916 his working CAPT
tai matched that of twenty Of the
country's giant industrial and rail-
road corporations combined.
This statement, and many others all
but incredible, were placed in evidence
before three members Of the Board
Of Tax Appeals today by Paul Clay,
Of Butley, N. Jv vice president and
economist of Moody's investment
service.
Clay testified as an expert valua-
ton witness for Senator James
Couzens, Of Michigan, and other
former stockholders Of the Ford Mo
tor Company fighting government
demand for $30,000,000 more income
taxes on the sale of their stock.
Illustrating the high value of Ford
stock when it was soaring comet-like
across the financial horizon, Clay said
chat soon after 1916 Ford's working
capital outstripped that of the other
industrial and railway goliaths, taken
together.
The twenty giant enterprises he
named included United States steel,

State and City Labor

Injunctions took precedence over
expulsions at the Central Trades and
Labor Council meeting last niht, and
the question of seating the right wing
delegates from the International Lad

postponed for two weeks until the
next regular meeting on February II.
The matter will be taken up at the
Executives Councils meeting on the
14th, and that body's finding will be
handed to the delegates on the 18th.

Last nights meeting was Joint

of injunctions, John Milholland, vice
president Of the Central Trades and
Labor Council, was in the chair; and
the speakers on the subject of the
evening included John Sullivan, state
president of the A.. F. of L., Assem-
blyman Frederick Hackenberg; John
O'Hanlon, secretary of the state fed
GRAFTON; and William Collins a fed
Grafton organizer.
Chairman Milholland opened the
discussion by stating that he had at
one time had confidence in courts,
but now he has his doubts about some
judges. 1t was largely their use of
injunctions in labor cases which has
caused him these misgivings.
President Sullivan of the state fed
Grafton spoke briefly on the evils of
injunctions, and was followed by J.
O'Hamlin, who announced that this
meeting was only one Of many sim
liar ones being held throughout the
state, and marked the opening of
campaign to restrict the power of
judges to use the injunction against
workers merely trying to protect the
standards of living for their families.
"You cannot prevent judges from

occasions they are not to be used"

high authority that the United States
has definitely decided to cooperate
with the British troops in China,
while pursuing an independent course
in diplomatic negotiations. This is
a typical piece of Coolidge deception.
This was said to account for the
dispatch of more marines and war
ships to the Orient. 1t is estimated
that the battle of Shanghai will be
fought about three weeks hence. It
is said that it will take the Cantonese
that long to batter down such re-
sistance as the northern Chinese
troops are offering and make their
way down the Yangtse valley to
Shanghai. There is no doubt that
the Cantonese will take the city.

No Sign of Change

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. - The
state department showed no signs of
altering its stand on China.
This was taken to mean that the
Somers' resolution now before the
house, which calls upon the president
to name commissioners to deal with
the Chinese, will lie completely ig-
nored by the president.
More Marines Dispatched
A detachment Of more than $50
marines today was ordered to Shang-
hal.
Rear Admiral G. S. Williams, COM
mander of the Asiatic fleet, advised
the navy department that 100 mar
ines on U. S. S. Goldstar from Guam,
and three officers and Cd enlisted
men from the Philippines have been
ordered transferred TO the u. s.

The conspiracy to incite the
fascist states on the western
frontier of the Soviet Union to
attack is showing signs of re-
newed vigOr.
There was never any posi-
bility, as reported, of the ex-
petitions on the way to Shang-
hal being recalled. 1t is possible
that detachments may be or
dered disembarked at Honk-
kong in order to give British
agents an excuse for reopening
negotiations with Chen, but
British prestige is at stake and
the howls from the jingoistic
imperialists are becoming more
insistent.
Right Wingers Imperialist Allies
While Sir Austen Chamberlain and
Stanley Baldwin are said to favor
diverting the troops on their way to
Shanghai it is noticeable that they
are not exerting themselves in this
direction.
The governments policy is to in
cite the people against the Soviet
Union, which Britain recognizes as
the chief foe of world Imperialism.
The Communist Party and the left
wing of the trade union movement
are conducting an energetic propa-
ganda against war on China. The
right wing socialists and labor lead
ers are either coming ont openly for
the government or maintaining 81
