MUST PROTECT THE NATION
GERMAN BARK CREW HERE STILL ON WAR RATIONS
Attorney General Talmer denies that
his nult ngalnst the bituminous coal
miners' strike is "government by in
junction." The denial is made in n letter to
Kdward Keenan. of Philadephin, sec
retary of the Delaware River Ship
.builders' Council.
The letter was in reply to n tele
gram from the shipbuilders that their
organization, representing 80,000
Workers. hRl adopted resolutions yig
orouslv protesting against the applica
tion for injunction against the coal
miners by your department.
The telegram pointed out that the
Democratic platform opposed govern
ment by injunction, and urged that a
hearing was due the miners, if onlr
In recognition of their loyalty during
the war.
"I have always opposed government
by Injunction." the attorney general re
plied, "and I may say to jou that 1
'still oppose it. Permit me, however, to
point out to you the distinction between
what wo commonly understand by that
phrase and the facts in this case.
"This is brought by the government
not by an employer to protect the
whole, body of the American people from
a calamity almost i-qual to war itself
not to settle a controversy between
labor and capital." .. -
Mr. Palmer quoted the Bection of the
Lever act which makes it unlawful to
conspire or arrange to prevent or re
strict production of necessaries, and
said It was his duty to enforce this law.
which be believed npplied to the coal
strike.
"There were only two ways open to
ine to enforce the law, one by criminal
and the other by civil process. I might
have instituted criminal prosecutions
against hundreds of American citizens.
He did not adopt this course because
he assumed that the miners were "law
abiding citizens and that they do not
intend or desire to disobey the laws of
the United States."
Mr. Palmer further insisted that the
government's action had no bearing on
the wage controversy and thnt the ad
ministration "stands ready to co
operate with the mine owners and the
jnine workers in nn effort to decide it
' fairly and Justly."

fountain Bohndorf says he will
take on "some" provisions before the
vessel sails for Hamburg, but that he is
acting under the German food ruling,
even though his ship is in the United
States. . , .
He explained that the men in his crew
are getting and will continue to get the
prescribed government ration that is
current in Germany.
' "My ship," he said, "was the first
one to sail out of Unmburg for deep
waters since the war began. I had to
get a passport for her from the allied
authorities."
More and better Knglish is spoken on
this German bark than on many of the
American and English line ships, put
ting Into this port, whose crews are
largely made up of foreigners of all
nations.
Many of the Iteihcrstieg's crew had
been fn this country before the war.
Several of them had taken out first
naturalization papers. Two of them
had been in the revenue service on the
Pacific coast. irtuu . all of them
were interned in English prison camps
during the four years of the war. Onlj
one nas been in the Herman navy a
fcear and a half on the raider Wolf.
I have not had a square meal since
I left the United States four and a
half years ago," said one of the sailors,
who spoke excellent English.
Held in Knglish Camp
"I sailed from the Pacific coast soon
after the war broke out, and when we
reached England 1 was taken off the
shin and nut In a detention camp.
There I was well treated, but food was
very scarce.
"For the last seven months I have
been waiting in Hamburg to get a ship.
Food conditions there are terrible. I
was on the government nonemployincnt
allowance, but it was impossible to get
enough to eat. There are thousands of
unemployed sailors and all sorts of men
in Hamburg who are driven to theft and
desperate means to keep from starving.
Street fights, crime and' death from
starvation are common."
These sailors get $S a month, pay
able when they get back to Germany.
They say that the whole pay of their
present four-month cruise, wheu they
get home, would buy only ten pounds of
tobacco or fifty small cakes of soap.

Their clothes are patched and re

wearing substitutes for shoes, made of
rope and twine. They have no soap.
Germany is desperately short on this
commodity. The mathesses in many of
their bunks are stuffed with paper and
the blankets nre few.
This, then, is Germany's start in re
building her merchant marine.

Twenty-five years ago the first bank installed the L. B.
Card ledger. The list has grown steadily. Today this
master-method of handling active, inactive and savings
accounts is used by banks, large and small, in every section
of the country.
These banks adopted it only after careful investigation
and comparison. They found, as you will find, that no other
ledger can approximate t in speed, in accuracy, in simplicity.
Reference to any account is almost instantaneous. The
cards are easily and quickly handled. The method of guid
ing leads the fingers straight to the right card. The L. B.
Card ledger is especially adaptable to posting by machine;
assuring speed-with-accuracy.
A visit to our sales rooms will show you why the L. B.
Card ledger is making good not only in banks, but in
commercial houses of. every class.

We inaugurate a new plan in selling the oddments of Furs that accumulate as the
result of swift selling and the consequent depletion of many lines:
Which is to reduce these odd lots and remnants NOW. at the beginning of the
season, rather than at the end, thus giving our customers the advantages of securing their
Furs with a whole season of wear in front of them.
The specimen values listed here are utterly irreplaceable at the prices given
below; with Skins advanced in price, we cannot manufacture to sell at these figures; the
last three days are announced because we confidently predict that these
Limited Quantities
will be exhausted by next Saturday. Shop Early and Shop Early in the Day.
Note. Our prices have always been less than usual because we
manufacture and sell direct to the public, thereby eliminating the
middleman's profits.
