Deportation Proceed
ings Against Stool
Pigeon Withdrawn

NEW YORK.-The Labor Depart
ment has cancelled the warrant of
arrest and withdrawn deportation
proceedings in the case of John
Pappas, of San Francisco, held for
deportation to Greece on the charge
of membership in the Communist
party, according to information re-
ceived here by the American Com
mittee for Protection of Foreign
Born.
Pappas was arrested on May %,
1886, after he was expelled from the
Communist party as a spy. In his
deportation hearings, Pappas adj
mitted he had been a member of
the Communist party, but stated that
he hadn't joined the group in good
faith, acting merely as a spy for the
Industrial Association by whom he
was employed at SIS a week.

line, he would send me New York
draft for $500. I replied that
could not go back into the mine and
do the work that had been doing
at the time that I got hurt. That
was totally disabled from doing that
work and that I had meant just
what l had said in December 1886
when I told him that they could
continue paying me compensation.
The last x-ray pictures they took
of me was in December 81. Did
they there allow me partial disabil-
ity then? If 1 had been so fortunate
as to have recovered, been able to
walk without crutches, gone down
to the Winter Garden to dances on
Saturday night, would they have
continued paying me compensation
for AIS weeks, because DR.. Shields
had turned me over to Jerry Shea
the spring of 1882 saying that he
had done all that he could for me.
If l had consented to an amputation,
l would not have the ankle today as
evidence. The x-ray is used to show
the condition that it is in.

Excerpts from Rankin's
.S-HoHr Law Argument
Continued from Page .

The statute is presumed to be
valid and must be upheld unless
its unconstitutionality appears be-
You'd a reasonable doubt. This has
been held in Tax Commission Case,
68 Mont. 450, Rider v. Cooney, "a
Mont. 295, State V. Holmes, 100
Mont. 256.
Who will have the effrontery to
say that this law is unconstitutional
beyond a reasonable doubt in the
face of the present holding of the
Supreme Court of the United States
that it is constitutional.
1t is submitted that it must fol-
low as a matter of logic that since
unemployment also casts a burden
upon society, a law which restricts
the hours of labor and creates more
jobs can likewise be considered for
that reason as necessary to the pub
lie welfare.
The statute in question covers all
retail establishments and related
businesses similarly situated and is
not discriminatory. The legislature
has broad powers in making CLASH
fications. They need not be meticu-
lousy exact. Classifications based
upon differences in population have
been consistently upheld, and there
fore while this statute applies only
in cities or towns of $500 or over,
it can reasonably be conceived that
the legislature had before it facts
showing a difference in conditions
ju~stifying the limitation in the APP
plication Of the law, and so long as
any state of facts can be reasonably
conceived which will justify a CLASH
fication, it is the duty of the court
to uphold it.
We submit that it must be held
that the statute was enacted in a
Legitimate exercise of police powers
by the legislature of Montana and
should be sustained.

WALTER DAWLEY HERE TOMORROW
Hartford Organist to Give Zion Evangelical Church
 Concert

An outstanding musical event of the season will be the organ con- cert to be given in Zion Evangelical Lutheran church on Cherry street tomorrow evening by Walter Dawley of Hartford, well-known radio ar- tist. He will be assisted on the pro- gram by the talented Waterbury soloist, Mrs. Marjorie Nash Nuhn, who needs no introduction to Wa terbury audiences.
 MT. Dawley is an organist in great demand in all parts of the state and will include on his program numbers by Handel, Berens, Bach, Speaks, Mueller, Kinder, and others, His technique is exceptional and his handling of the organ bespeaks a complete mastery of this king of in- struments.
 Among the numbers by Mrs. Nuhn will be some Swedish selections, but the most of her offering will be from the better known composers, and will include Bach, Mallotte and others.
 This concert has been arranged for by the Luther league of Zion church, and is open to all who wish to attend. There will be no admis- sion charge, but silver offering will be lifted.

a quart from the regular price for this service. That is nearly one-half of the cost of retail distribution. From the figures obtained during the administrations study of dis tribution costs, saving of only a fraction of one cent is possible through the reduction in the cost of soliciting the business and mak- ing collections. This leaves more more than two cents to be absorbed by the distributor. From the stand point of tke community it means a discount of about 20 per cent from the prices paid by other in- dividual customers for like service.
 Some cities have made it possi- ble to secure slightly lower costs by having their milk delivered in some central point and taking over the delivery costs to the individuals themselves. In instances of this na- ture the regular wholesale discounts for quantity purchases are allowed and are reflected in further saving to the taxpayer.
 Safeguards Purity
 "The costs of both production and distribution of milk have been raised by the sanitary regulations promulgated to safeguard the purity of milk supplies. This has been done both by state law and local or dinance. Such costs naturally in- crease consumer prices. There is no question ahout these regulations and the added cost being justified in safeguarding the health of our com munitieS.

Men Sent By Welfare De- partment For Interviews
 With WPA Heads

Jobs for 103 men were in the making today, men sent by the vel fare department to be interviewed by officials from the state office of the WPA at New Haven.
 The. number of those accepted had not been announced at noon today but state officials had an- nounced earlier that 100 jobs in Waterbury could be filled.
 Waterbury supervisor of WPA work, William E. Kennedy, told The Democrat yesterday that he had 103 places The work will be on projects now under construc- ton and for which the city has paid its share of the cost of ma terlals.
 Interviews were held at 10:30 o. clock and through the morning at the city court, and the courtroom was crowded, the line extending in- to the corridor at one time. It is expected that the Waterbury quota will be completed by the acceptance of the applicants appearing today, although 5000 added jobs were made available by the government for Connecticut WPA work.

lied ship and dived when destroyer was sighted. The destroyer dropped charge, shaking the U-boat vio- lently and putting the diving rudder out of commission. It came to the surface and was sunk by shell-fire. The sinking of the UC-26 in the English channel in May, 1917, was due primarily to injuries suffered when it was rammed and Second- arily as a result of a depth charge.
 The craft was sighted by three British destroyerS, one of which overlook and rammed the vessel. It sank in about 150 feet of water and depth charge was released by one of the destroyers, putting out all lights. An attempt was made to blow up" the tanks-that is force the water ballast out by means of air preSsure-but the mechanism failed to work. An attempt was then made to open the hatch, but the pressure from outside was too great. Believing himself and his crew doomed, the commander ordered three cheers for the Kaiser"
 A more resourceful petty officer suggested that compressed air be forced into the compartment to equaliZe the pressure. This was done and the hatch was opened A number of the crew escaped, but only two, who had the presence of mind to ascend slowly, survived.

Reports from survivors of disabled German submarines indicated that depth charges rarely caused serious damage and that relatively small improvements in design would great ly offset the effects of underwater bombs.
 Among the suggestions were that submarines be made heavier. The German U-boats were generally of about 1000 tons. It is believed the additional tonnage in the new U. s. submarines is chiefly a result of this knowledge.
 It is estimated that about 38,000 depth charges were dropped by allied ships in their desperate fight against submarines, but only 38 of the underwater craft were sunk. Thus, an average of 1000 charges were used to destroy one U-boat.
 Jellicoe's Figures Cited
 Admiral Jellicoe asserted that a depth charge exploding within IA feet of a submarine would destroy 1t; one discharging within 28 feet would disable it, and one exploding within 60 feet would have de moralizing" effect.
 It is reported that 51 charges were used against one German submarine without any serious effect
 The first recorded use of depth charge was on July 20, 1915, when the British armed trawlers Quickly and Gunner made an unsuccessful attack against German U-boat.
 The first successful use of depth charge came about year later when the British motorship Salmon To- cated the German submarine UC-7 with hydroplanes and sank it with one charge. It is believed the bomb detonated the mines in the enemy mine chutes.
 When the United States entered the war this country's depth charges contained only 50 pounds of explo- sives. It was soon realized, however, that this was inadequate and the amount was increased to 300 pounds Tais was the standard charge used throughout the war. A 600-pounder was developed late in 1918, but it apparently was never used.
 Log Book Studied
 Accounts of the effects of depth charges on U-boats, obtained from loH books and conversations with members of the submarines crews, show that in many cases the dam age might easily have been avoided through slight improvements. In other cases, the submarines were destroyed by gunfire after the ship reached the surface.
 This was true in the case of the UC-38, which was sunk in the Aegean sea by gunfire from French destroyers after depth charges had been dropped.
 The first charges stopped all the clocks aboard the underwater craft and caused a leak in the hatch cover. The seeping water short circuited a motor and put the pumps out of commission.
 Another bomb put out the lights and decommissioned the second motor. The commander decided to bring his craft to the surface, where it was sunk by shells. Eight of the crew were lost.
 The U-110 was sunk of the coast of Ireland by H. M. s. Michael in March, 1918, by similar means.

automobile manufacturer. Roads are straighter; warnings are more intelligently given; brakes are more efficient, and lighting is being carefully studied. Endeavor is also being made to test carefully the capacity of drivers and to instruct or eliminate the delinquent by regu- latory or police power.
 "All this, however, is not suffi. cient for meeting the problem. Wt cannot be complacent about it. Part of the problem is one of education and the schools of the state are ad- dressing themselves to do what they can in their field, with some meas ure of success. It is high time that the churches in Connecticut took part in this crusade.
 Tt is a moral issue. A fundamen- tai precept of religion is the inher- ent sacredness of human life. We cannot be unmoved when facilities of transportation become agents fol destruction. It is moral issue, and the church must speak out.
 "When thousands of people are using the roads of our state and country in common" he says, "there is only one rule which will produce safety on the highway and that $ the rule of courtesy and cooperation There is a community of interest of all travellers on the roads and the | motor vehicle laws and the rules of the road are built up on this the ory. Consideration for others is es- sential A person who insists on more than his share of the road; one who travels at an excessive rate of speed to make up for few mo- ments delay; and particularly a driver who has been using alcohol or who from other reasons is not in complete control of his faculties is an offender against the safety and comfort of his fellow travellers and is guilty of disregard of this community of interest even when nc particular harm apparently results.
 Other information includes data on Connecticut accidents and their causes, with streess on the expe- rience of pedestrians in traffic.
 Again, an element in many an accident is the physical condition oi the drivers of the cars concerned. II their efficiency has been lowered by drinking, there is a moral issue in- volved. For man to abuse his intellectual and his moral strength by drinking to excess is sin, and the churches have always labeled it as such. When an individual is SC selfish as to impair his capacity to drive by drinking, this is sin against society and must be labeled as such.

PRODUCERS DIFFER ON CHARITY MILK
Prices Affected By Unset tied FactOrs-PrOduCers
 Also Pay Taxes

The fundamental question involv- ed in setting prices for charity milk is whether or not the country milk producer should be expected to share the burden of city relief, Milk Ad- ministrator s. Mclean Buckingham declared in a statement made public today. He pointed out that pro- ducers too are taxpayers and as such carry the burden of relief in their own communities.
 Charity Milk
 The charity milk question was probably the most disturbing factor which unsettled producer prices during the early days of the admin istration, MT. Buckingham recalled. A very considerable amount of charity milk seemed to be in the market and the lowered price receiv- ed for this product was reflected in diminished returns to the producer. Many times it was reflected by pro- ducer prices which were plainly be- low the cost of production. Various devices were used to tansfer this lowered price to the producer and the evils which sprung up proved nearly impossible to check, with the means at the command of the ad- ministration, so long as this milk was in the market with its price uncontrolled.
 Milk regulation in Connecticut was created for the protection and Stabilization of prdoucer prices" |" said MT. Buckingham. Resale prices play 8 major part in such stabiliza- tion and the price of charity milk has an important bearing on the maintenance of the entire resale price schedule.
 Established Prices
 Resale prices were established because they had a direct bearing on the ability of dealers to pay pro- ducer prices. Resale schedules were made necessary in the Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford areas be- cause of certain peculiar and dis turbing conditions which threatened the maintenance of producer prices in these three most important mar kets in the state. They were set only after it was found impossible to maintain producer prices and hold the market for Connecticut pro- ducers under the circumstances.
 Since that time an inquiry into the cost of production and distribu- tion of milk in this state has been made at the request of the producers council. The results of these studies confirm both the soundness and the fairness of the producer and resale price schedules set up by the ad- ministration.
 Briefly, they indicated that the average cost of delivering a quart of milk to retail customers was CAT cents. This, added to the producer price of 738 cents for four per cent milk makes a total production and distribution cost of 1885 cents where the milk is delivered to the home of the customer. Under the 14 cent price, the average dealer would have IS of cent profit.
 Wholesale Level
 Tn setting charity prices at the level of wholesale prices, that is at Il cents quart for milk de- livered at the customers home, the contracting dealer is required to ef- feet savings of almost three cents
