Washimgt@m Letter
By HERBERT c. PLUNTNIER

WASHINGTON. June 1t-At the foot Of capitol
hill. within a stones throw Of the national capitol
itself, is a bit Of countryside.
It is worked over with meticulous care. yet it holds
a wild heart Of natural beauty within. Horticultural
discoveries from ali over the world may be seen in
this National Botanic garden. Each is neatly labeled
and exactly catalogued.
And the official gardener for the United States
stands ever ready to conduct the visitor through.
GREAT AMBITION
For more than is years George ". Hess has worked
to develop this garden. During this time he has
secured the world for plants and flowers.
To China. Japan and the Philippines he has gone
In his quest. He has made three trips to the Hawaiian
islands to make a study Of plant life there.
His aim is the greatest botanic garden in the
world for the greatest country in the world"
Hess work to him Is a labor OF love. III never IS
more at case than when he Is among his plants. His
large hands gently touch each tiny green shoot and
leaf as he moves among them. He stops every few
moments to explain how this or that flower was pro-
duced through patient crossing and re-crossing Of
mother plants.
He exhibits with pride the Sanseveiria which grows
from a mere clipping Of the leaf. He pauses to speak
OF that plants dependence on the mother shoot until
maturity IS reached. when the parent plant dies off.
Nothing delights him more than to talk OF the
garden that. under his management, has become a
showplace for the nation.

HIS HOBBIFS

But it IS when the conversation shifts to vegetables
that Hess shows the greatest enthusiasm. II he has
a hobby outside OF his beloved garden 1t Is this.
From a Chinese gardener he acquired his first in
terest in the subject. an interest that has grown until
ne says the information he has accumulated easily
would fill a book. He knows the names OF all the va
rious kinds In the Cantonese dialect.
Once he scored 100 per cent in an examination for
q position as teacher Of gardening. This position he
gave up IN favor Of improving some land in Florida.
This land was worth So an acre when he took Il over.
Il sold for SIS an acre when ne left.
His home, on the grounds OF the garden. ne has
named Liberty Hall, due to the fact he wishes it known
that all Of his friends are at liberty to call upon him
there and make known any wishes they have have.
Mrs. Hess herself a great lover Of flowers and a
student Of botany. has done much to aid her husband
in making q success Of his work.

and more emphatically condemning
the practice of establishing an age
deadline and with the same authori-
ties and Investigators pointing to en-
ployer group insurance as one of the
agencies making for establishment of
the age deadline, the Union Labor
Life Insurance Company is forging
ahead in its writing of union group
insurance.
The writing of union group insur-
ance brings to the wage earners, it is
pointed out, group insurance not
affected by age limits in employment
and that strengthens the workers in
resisting establishment of such
headlines.
Authorities have repeatedly admit.
ted since labor opened its campaign
against the age deadline, that en-
ployer group insurance is partly re-
sponsible for the fixing of such dead
lines. One of the most recent declar-

APARTMENTS
Are Growing; One-Family
Homes Decreasing

Washington. The trend toward
apartment house dwelling continues
to grow, according to the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Reports from 207 cities show that last
year homes were provided in new
buildings for 388,678 families; 53.7
per cent were in apartment houses,
35.2 per cent in one-family dwellings,
and Ill per cent in two-family dwell
ings. In 1921 only 34.4 per cent were
housed in apartments and 58.3 per
cent were housed in one-family dwell
ings.
This is the third consecutive year
that more family units have been pro-
vided in apartments than in one-fam-
lily dwellings," the bureau states
"Just what effect this change in the
type Of dwelling viii have on the So
cial, economic and political life of the
country, is hard to determine. That
it will have its impress on the char

of Columbia University,
The speaker urged graduates to
play the game of free men, preserve
in its integrity your personal life,
and never allow it to be controlled
and dominated by opinions and judg-
ments which are forced upon you
from without, in opposition to con-
science and reason.
IF you feel impelled to do so, you
will plead in San Francisco for Tom
MONEYS release; you will question in
Boston the justice of the Sacco-V Ven

claim at conventions of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution (1f

"Among these things of the spirit
which are the real distinctions of this
university | am inclined to place first
its love of freedom" said DIR. Chand-
Ter. $50 when we look for the roots
of this institution, those roots from
which it cannot get away, we find
among them roots of protest, roots of
revolt against coercion, roots of that
insistence upon personal liberty which
finds it most complete and mature
expression in the principle of tolera-
ton. This is the vital principle OF
Americanism. What does thos mean
on that spiritual side?
"It means that if democracy itself
becomes tyrannical and - to reverse
Milton's famous line-tries to make
force do the work of persuasion, such
tyranny will be exposed for the un-
true, unlawful, un-American things it
is. 1t means that the right of free
speech even to those whose speeches
enrage us, or bore us, which is worse
1t means that minority opinion will
be respected"

MIDDLE AGED
PERSONS ARE BAR

The bureau manager states that
group insurance, which is supposed
to protect the worker from the perils
of penniless old age, is an impor-
tant factor in throwing these men and
women out of work and in keeping
them from finding new jobs. Work
mems compensation laws operate to
some extent in the same way, he

Injunction Issue Fought Out in Elizabethton Court
With Employers Denying They Ever Entered
Agreement that Ended First Agreement Re

Law When Second Strike Ended.

Elizabethton, Tenn.-With the fine
presence and elegant carriage of he
roes from a Prussian movie romance
the overlords of the great rayon mills
here stalked into the Carter county
court, with an obsequieous retinue
and swore that although they had met
Paul j. Aymon and Alfred Hoffman,
representing the strikers, in hotel
room in Johnson City, they had
never made any agreement regarding
terms of settlement of a strike which
ended on March %.
This testimony was given today in
the long drawn out contempt pro
ceedings arising out of an injunction
which was issued in the first strike
this spring. In the terms of the set
tlement, or gentlelsen's agreement,
which ended that strike was the
clause that the injunction which sixty
odd strikers are charged with violat-
ing, would be withdrawn.

the Carl-Von- -Stroheim- Hooking Doc
tor Marthaus testified in effect that
they had somehow been inveigled in

Sheriff Moreland, of Carter county,
and which was attended by the two
strike leaders, Captain Broyles, of the
National Guard, and Charles Wood,
of the U. S. department of labor.
All that the doctors would admit
was that they stated in the meeting
in the hotel room that they would
stand behind certain instructions
given their plant subordinates about
increased wage rates and the other
matters which were made conditions
of the settlement.
Both Marthaus and Mothwurf told
! how, after the newspapers printed
stories about the meeting in the no.
tel in the early hours of the morn
ing between the company heads, the
sheriff, Mediator Wood and Broyles
that they had first denied any meet
ing had taken place. They told how
when the strikers became SO infuriat-
ed by this report, after vote had
been taken to return to work, that
General Boyd was forced to rush to
the plant and get a signed letter
from Doctor Mothwurf stating that
the conditions of the settlement as
printed in the papers would be lived
up to.
Both Mothwurf and Marthaus de-
MED ever having agreed that the in
junction would be withdrawn, respite
the fact that Sheriff Moreland had
| testified that the conditions of the
settlement drawn up by Aymon and
Hoffman had been agreed to by
Marthaus and Mothwurf included this
provision, and the point had been
specifically discussed in that meeting.
