The State Department still was
without word today on Miss Eleanor
Meade, 3o-year-old American news
paper woman listed as missing in the
looted and half-devastated capital of
Ethiopia.
Belief was expressed, however, that
she might have left Adds Ababa be-

This was the possibility advanced by
Minister Cornelius Van H. Engert. in
reporting tc the State Department by
radio yesterday that he had succeeded
in locating all Americans in Adds
Ababa except Miss Meade and that all
were safe.
He said she might have departed the
city on one Of the last trains to run

FREEING Of S[AVES|
IS DIFFICULT TASK
Writer Says Problem Will Be
One of Most Costly Facing
Duce in Ethiopia.
BY ALBERT w. WILSON,

ASSOCIATED Press Stan Writer just he
turned from Adds Ababa.)
NEW YORK, May 7.-One Of Mus
solini's most difficult and costly tasks,
now that he has conquered Ethiopia,
will be to carry out his promise to
free all slaves.
Emperor Halle Selassie made con-
siderable headway in stamping out
slavery, but it meant big expense for
maintenance of special slave police,
slave courts and the like.
The freeing of slaves in the United
States was C slow and costly process.
In Ethiopia there is a difficulty which
did not exist in the United States
the job of finding slave owners and
dealers in almost inaccessible sections
of the country.
Enlists Aid of Englishman.
In the same month that the war
with Italy began. Emperor Halle Selas-
Sandford into extreme Southeast
Ethiopia to assist the governor of Mali
Province in dealing with the slave
problem.
Col. Sandford made the trip by
mule caravan, arriving at his desti-
nation in December. He is carrying
on his work now, presumably ignorant
of the fact that his employer, the EN-
peror, is no longer in power. 1t takes
runners weeks to carry news from the
capital to Mali.
In a letter to Rev. A. F. Matthew,
pastor of the English Church in Adds
Ababa, which was written more than
TIVE months ago, Sandford said he had
done a two weeks trek around the
province investigating conditions.
Stamford. who has lived in Ethiopia
for many years and was formerly con-
nected with the British legation at
Adds Ababa, was the only English
adviser serving the Ethiopia govern
ment. He was the only Englishman
permitted by his own government to
take an Ethiopian post. British au-
thorities are interested in wiping out
slave traffic in Mali and other Sec
tions near the Sudan and Kenya bor-
ders, in order 10 end slave raids across
the frontiers.
Shankallas Are Slaves.
. Virtually all slaves in Ethiopia are
Shankallas-the only real Negroes in
the country. These Shankallas, thick
Tipped and round-headed, in COM
parison with the lighter-skinned, thin
Tipped and high-foreheaded Eth:opi-
ans, are numerous in the territory in
which Col Sanford has gone, but
many have been transported to other
sections Of the country as slaves.
Formerly many Gallas, who rank
with the ruling Amharas in intelli-
gence, were slaves. The lives Of slaves
such as these were not always diff
cult. Ethiopian chieftains have often
had children by slaves who were
raised to high positions. Now freed
Gallas hold numerous important ad-
ministrative posts.
Traffic in slavery has been encour-
aged in Ethiopia for many years by
Arabs and other outsiders who caRe
to the country seeking slaves to ex-
port. In the Ethiopian treaty
of 1889, former Emperor Menelik
agreed Ito hinder by all means in
his power" the passing of slave cara
vans through his empire.

Let's Find Our

Now that Kjorlaug and Joseph
have been given a clean slate by
the efforts of enemy investiga-
tors, Scott and Hudson, let's
have some satisfactory answers to
a few questions.
What became of that investiga-
ton fund entrusted to Scott and
Hudson?
What becomes of the moneys
paid into those associations, fos-
tered by Scott and Hudson, reap
ed from the profits of relief bust
ness!
What is the lou do1Vm on that
milk racket for which the North
land Milk Company was victim
lied?
Who paid for that auto and
who received it?
Who paid the $3.50 and who
received it?
Our dailies might lend a hand
in ferreting out the answers.
Those questions involve matters

ers.

ment. The FIVE had small con-
Germ about the necessity for con :.
tinuous conducting of relief mat
tiers. They took possession of
current records and books, re-
quired hourly in that Office, carry
ing them to their homes where
they were kept sometimes four
and FIVE days ostensibly in at
tempting to ferret out something
on which to force charges against
Kjorlaug and Joseph. It was
more vitality important to try to
hang something on those two men
whose senses of duty were in the
way.
The whispers and distractions
of the FIVE in that Office had also
the effect of being an intolerable
nerve strain on the balance of
the entire relief force. When the
situation was no longer bearable,
an appeal for advice was made
to McGaughren. McGaughren
protested for them but his pro-
testations bore no happy results.
The overlords wouldn't listen to
reason.
Finally, in desperation, the re-
lief department employees march
ed in a body to a meeting of the
Welfare Board and served notice
of what was transporting In the
Office, notice to the effect that
the conduct of the FIVE had made
it almost impossible to carry on
the relief business. One of their
spokesman stated that under the
pressure of the FIVE intruders it
was impossible to remain honest
or to carry on any effective work.
and that unless the situation was
remedied he would be forced by
his conscience to quit, even tho
he was in dire need of having
the job.
This move was in the nature Of
a strike and 1t, with resulting
disclosures, bore fruit. Scott and
Hudson were removed from the
Welfare Board. Even the radical
council didn't dare have the rec
ords continue to exhibit them as
custodians of such important
trusts.

HEALTH BOARD VIO-

OkDlNANCE
Alderman AL Bastis Leads
Health Board in Wholesale
Violation of Beer Ordi.
nance
BY McMann
With some slight preamble and
alteration, the health board, led
by Alderman AL G.. Bastis,
Southside's political hooligan and
radical Farmer-Laborite, passed
more than half of 43 applications
recommended by the license
bureau for issuance, in direct vio-
lation of city beer ordinances.
One instance of malfeasance
was outstanding, the issuance Of
a license to Edwin Johnson, 1914
Washington Ave. S., who had
three violations of the three-two
beer ordinance listed against him.
When issuance of a license to
Johnson was contended against
on the grounds that it would be
In direct violation of the beer
ordinances, Bastis said i should
be passed anyway" and it was.
The ordinance, in which the
issuance of this license was In
direct violation, is one which
provides that no three-two beer
license shall be issued to prem
lses where two convictions have
been made.
It seems a queer paradox that
men VINO years ago were con.
victed Of violating the national
prohibition law, which later was
outlawed, should be denied IL
censes because of that; while
persons who have been convicted
of violating laws at present in
force, should receive licenses.
And not only that, but dis
tinction is made among them,
and that distinction Is not
based on the fitness of the
applicants is shown plainly
enough by Bastis forcing
through an issuance of license to
a place which has three convic-
tons against it, simply because il
is in his ward-or, perhaps not be-
cause 1t simply is in his ward. =

were inadequate for any increase
in the relief scale, the Board
voted and put into effect the 6O%
increase.
After the new scale had been
in effect only two weeks and the
additional cost to the city had
run up to $57, 900, the speedily
disappearing funds of the city
forced the Board to rescind the
60% increase and return the
former scale. Local 574 had
found a not unwilling co-opera-
ton from Scott, Hudson and
Latimer in this rash attempt to
add this back breaking load to
already overburdened taxpayers.
The savior was the fact that
there was not sufficient money
available to put their hands in.
Kjorlaug, McGaughren and
Joseph had raised their voices in
opposition to this 574 treasury
raid, but they were in the minor
ity and their efforts proved in
vain.
Conspiracy in Relief Clothing
The first grave rift between
the majority and minority men,
bers occurred shortly afterwards
when it was discovered that an
association of clothing merchants
had sprung into existence for the
criterion purpose of cornering the
business of filling relief orders
allotted for clothing.
This association was organized
by one ]. M. Breen, a former en-
ployee of the relief department
who had been discharged for al
legged petty larceny. The interior
motive for the forming Of this
association was found in the fact
that the members were required
to kick back a certain percentage
Of their profits which were desig-
mated as dues. 1t looks more like
unadulterated graft.
This association presented the
Welfare Board with a set of reso-
buttons which they termed a code
of ethics providing that clothing
merchants must belong to it in
order to fill relief orders for
clothing. The Welfare Board
was asked to adopt these provi-
sions. There was stipulation
also for those phony dues.
Kjorlaug, McGaughren and
Joseph registered again in an OPP
position role to this measure,
their efforts being again in vain.
Kjorlaug's and Joseph's busters
then became the targets OF the
domineering Scott and Hudson.
At length, with the aid of Lati-
mer and all of the other Board
members excepting McGaughren
and Joseph, Scott and Hudson
succeeded in removing Kjorlaug
without cause) and the depart
ment was without an official head
for a long period, with its guild
ance in absolute subsection to
Scott and Hudson who welded
their wishes over the majority
of the Welfare Board. Their
sailing then became easy.

chants racket and Scott with

Legitimate Union Truck
Drivers Nosed OUT BY
Red STA

AS a result Of expert advice
from fuel specialists, chemists
and engineers, a contract to sup
ply the city's coal relief needs
was awarded to the Cedar Lake
Ice & Coal Co. specifying a GER
tain grade of mining. This grade
was chosen because it was found
to be the most economical and
satisfactory for general relief
utility.
The Cedar Lake Ice & Coal
Co. employs truck drivers be-
longing to a regular union, a
chapter of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
The leaders of the communist
directed 574, expelled from the
A. F. of L. because of being
tainted with communism, saw a
plum for themselves in this bust
ness. They made a drive on

suit-following associates in the
Welfare Board, and managed to
wedge away from the Cedar
Lake Co. one-half of this coal bust.

ing conditions by unionizing the
city. 574 attempted to cut-throat
legitimate unions.
The result of this betrayal by
Scott, Hudson, etc., and 574, was
that inferior grades of coal were
delivered under the 574 inspired
deal. the consequence of which
was that the city's relief coal bill
was increased by over $4,000.
That City Hospital Milk Mis-
Deal
When 574 ran riot in the sum-
mer of 1884 and captured the
city of Minneapolis, with the aid
Of Governor Olson and his state
militia, the milk drivers union,
regularly credited, exhibited its
sympathy with 574. much to its
later sorrow, by contributing big
sums of money to strike funds of
574.
A large number of the milk
drivers who are members of that
contributing union are employed
by the Northland Milk co. and
this company enjoyed having the
award of the very stable milk
contract for supplying the city
hospital.
Showing their rank ingrati-
tude for the generous gift of
funds so recently given to it, S74
remembered only that the North
land company did not employ 574
drivers and for that reason it was
not getting any Velvet from that
milk contract. So Scott again
was brought to the forefront.
The Northland contract pronto
was discontinued and given to
the Superior Diaries, perhaps to
impress Northland that 574 was a
power that could not be ignored
without disaster.
Within a week, the Northland
Milk Co. learned that the Su-
perior Milk CO. was not capable
of filling such a heavy order.
The Northland was naturally

volved in that deal. The reds of
S74 must have been left out of
consideration in the settlement.
Scott and Hudson Theaten
Investigators
Women investigators who had
been employed regularly by the
relief department to investigate
the conditions of applicants for
relief and were authorized to GER
tify them as benefciaries of re-
lief funds, complain that they
were inundated by Scott and
Hudson, coupled with mob tao
tics, into granting relief in so
many unmerited cases that they
became distracted and threatened
to strike. The intimidation from
Scott and Hudson generally took
the form of threats that their
failures to obey would result in
the loss of their jobs.
The total amount covering such
raids on the city's funds runs in
to huge figures.
Members of the shock troops
of 574 are perhaps cared for in
this fashion.
Collision Of Scott and Hud-
son for Removal Of
Kjorlalg
For the apparent purpose of
making an example of Kjorlaug,
and thereby intimidating other
Board members into passiveness
toward their iron listed rule
Scott and Hudson induced the
radical majority of the city coun-
ell to authorize an investigation
of Kjorlaug's previous admins
tration of the relief department
and a substantial sum of money
was appropriated therefor. This
authorized investigation and the
appropriated funds were placed
in the charge of Scott and Hud-
son.
In pursuance of this authority,
five persons were hired and put
on the departments pay roll
(notice this pay roll) presumably
as investigators and FIVE trained
| persons were released for this
displacement. The so-called in
vestigators were neither auditors
nor bookkeepers. They were
neither by experience or training
fitted for the displacement of the
five removed efficient employees
trained for those details. Fur
hermore, the fund appropriated
could not have been for any prac-
teal purpose if those chosen in
vestigators were to be placed on
the departments payroll. The
special fund was asked for and
appropriated to cover the pay
ment of these investigators. This
expense was not to be charged
to the relief departments pay
roll.
An item of public concern is
| the fact that Scott and Hudson
have made mo accounting for the
disposition of that fund altho that
farce investigation, which result
ed in a clean slate for Kjorlaug,
has long ago been wound up.
What became of that money?
