in Fertilizer Case.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, June 7.-Walter ].
Bienemann, wartime fair price com
missioner for Maryland and an ac-
countant Of the Justice Department.
was found guilty by a jury in Fed
eral Court yesterday on charges of
larceny Of government document in
the fertilizer trust prosecution.
Sentence was suspended when his
counsel filed application for new
trial. Judge Coleman ordered Biene-
mann held without bail pending ar
Sument on the new trial.
In his closing argument to the jury
United States Attorney Woodcock
condemned Bienemann, who. he said
offered no defense except that he had
previously borne a good reputation.
The danger TO the United States
now" Woodcock said, lis not from
enemies without, but from dishonesty
and disloyalty within"
He told how important the dOcu-
ment was in the prosecution of the
fertilizer interests, and condemned
Bienemann for alleged efforts to send
copies of the document 10 attorneys

Woodcock took occasion TO praise
the work Of Mrs. Pauline NJ. Harris

An advance guard entered the city

songs of the Confederacy were revived
by a group of veterans, who gathered
in front of the hotel to amuse a
crowd of citizens which threatened TO
tie up traffic on Washington street

tired.
Two old soldiers played Southern
songs. Their enthusiasm was reflect

imbued with the spirit of the reunion.
When the pair swept into Dixie a

escaping serious consequences thus far
only because the Reds hold the risk of
such action to great. 1t is not that
they have scrupIes about beating up
Oh killing, but that they have believed
it unwise to attack such outstanding
leaders, knowing full well that il
would mean a redoubling Of every ef-
fort to oust them from sucII outposts

1t has been what is described as a
dirty affair, because that is the way
the Reds fight Treachery is their
fixed policy, fact that has been bone
in upon every observer here.
But the important fact that stands
cut is that stopping The Reds here has
saved every other International union
from a like contest. Stopping the in

Lack Of Proper Protection
Against Eye Hazards Held
Big Factor in Blindness

vestigations turn to the industrial and
commercial fields even more startling
conditions are revealed.
Examinations of large groups of
employees in industrial plants and COM
mercial establishments show that fully
60 per cent of the 42,000,000 gainfuIly
employed persons in the United States
have defective vision.
"No physical defect contributes
more directly to fatigue and ineffi-
cheney than eye strain, or is more re-
sponsible for waste of vitality, time
and material.
"In American industry 100000 eye
injuries, or one-tenth of all industrial
accidents, occur annually. More than
S6,000000 in compensation was award
ed in one State alone for 1859 lost
eyes, this being alsmost half the total
amount awarded for all classes of per-
manent injuries during a period of
eight years. Another State awarded
S1,000,000 in compensation in one year
for injuries to the eyes"
Mr.. Henry placed the number of per
sons totally blind in this country at
100000. While every provision should
be made for their education and care,
he said, society was confronted by the
problem quite as important of pre-
venting the spread of blindness by
checking Infectious diseases and
shielding workers from the hazards of
industry.

BALDWIN QUITS
Fight Against Common Peo-
pie to Strengthen Lords

London, England.-Premier Bald
win has discovered it is more easy to
pass an anti-trade union bill than to
increase the power of the House of
Lords, Britain's upper legislative
chamber.
Objections to the premier's plan has
forced him to postpone the proposal.
Younger members of his party were
not in sympathy with him, and this
division might force general cleo
ton. AS matters now stand he can
hold office until 1929.
Older Conservatives ARE dissatisfied
with the Parliament Act of 1911,
which gives the House of Commons
final control over appropriations. Any
bill passed by three successive ses-
sions of the House and rejected each
time by the Lords becomes law two
years after introduction.
The common peoples power over the
purse is distasteful to died-in-the- wool
Conservatives. Rather than risk a re
opening of the historic fight between
the Commons privilege, Premier Bald
win hoisted the white flag.
Through control of the purse, the
Commons have forced many conces-
sions from English kings.

Atlantic City-Hundreds of thous-
ands of men, women and children "are
unconsciously contending with partial
blindness" Guy A. Henry of New
York, general director of the Eye
Sight Conservation Council of Amer
lea, told the American Association of
Workers for the Blind.
''This condition handicaps them in
their work, causes retaliation in
schools, represents enormous economic
and social waste, and if not remedied
makes for lifelong discotntent and un-
happiness" he said.
"a large majority of the human
race have defective vision, most of
which is remediable. The lighting Of
most of our houses, our schools, our
industries and our public buildings
may rightly be considered travesty.
The lack of proper protection against
the eye hazards which exist in indus
try causes much of the tragedy of
blindness"
Simple tests, according to Mr..
Henry, reveal that fully % per cent
of the 26,000,000 school children in the
United States have manifest defects
of vision and other symptoms of eye
strain which materially hamper their
school work.

several attacks on the plea signed by

Southern textile manufacturers and
allied interests resent the statement.
The Southern Textile Bulletin of Char
lotte, n. c., that led the fight against
the Federal child labor amendment,
refers to the church mems plea as
extremely silly in some respects" and
false and misleading" in others.
The Bulletin says the church men
advocated ''the formation of labor un-
ions in Southern cotton mills" where
as the statement reads: eve do not
undertake to suggest the
forms which employees representa-
ton should take, whether arrange
ments negotiated with regular unions
or forms of workers councils"
The indirect reference to trade un-
