Federation Official Declares His

I il.l II . I . m .t . .. .
for this district of the National Fed
eration of Federal Employes. Mr: Kin'
sHl says that hls'Stalement of compara
tive wages, published jesterday. is ab
solutely accurate, and that the Sau
Francisco figures came from the super
intendent of the mint there. And were
the Mime as the figures given before the
coiigreslon'al appropriations commit
tee by Congressman Vnre.
Mr. IClnscll will read a statement
containing these waje statistics at the
coming convention of the federation at
St. I.otils. and he reiterates his con
tention that the scale here Is "perhaps
one of thr mint nieravatlng Instances
of wages paid for like service."
A comparison of the riil'adelphla and
Kflll FrnnrfQpn u'npn tpnlnd nnnn.illH.
Mr. Klnell. showed variations of from
fifty cents to S2.00 a dnv, "and when
compared with wages paid for skilled
labor in private employ the figures are
astounding."
Probed Wage Scale
Director Baker was forced into
making n visit of inspection to the Phil
sdelphla mint last week to Investigate
the wage "ituntion, according to Mr.
Klnscll.
A survev of the mechanical equip
ment of the mint, which was made by
Pircctor Baker, and which showed that
on neemmt of the complete moderniza
tion of the mint's mechanical equip
ment, a record-breaking annual output
of ."l.'.OOO.OOO coins has been estnb
llhed. "has nothing to do with pn.ilng
mint employes a living wage," Mr.
Kinsell ald.
He added : .
"It is indeed gratifying to note the
statements which the director of the
mint makes. Apparently nu issue is
raised as to the correctness of the state
ment regarding comparison of wages
paid to local mint emploves as com
pared with the San Francisco mint. A
simple 'absolutely untrue' pronounce
ment, coupled with the admission which
follows, nnd the statements made by
the director before the appropriations
committee oi tne jiouse during tne last,
session and this is a matter of public
record that the reason for higher
wages being paid at San Francisco wns
because they were compelled to adopt
the union scale of wages in that city,
is sufficient answer and. In any event.
; the comparative scale which we sub
mitted spcaKs for itscir.
To Oct Inrreaso
"But what is particularly pleasing
Is the belated announcement of the di
rector that an Increase In the pay of
these faithful employes will become ef
fective as of August 1. It has been
n long, weary struggle, but our federa
tion has never given up the fight for
justice for these men. We will await
with interest the announcement of fir
ures showing the increases actually
granted."
Superintendent Joyce, in replying to
Mr. Kinsell. said the only exception
where San Francisco wages were higher
than in Philadelphia was in the case of
three machinists "with executive ns
well ns mechanical ability," who are
paid $0.18 a day, whereas twenty-three
machinists in the Philadelphia Mint
without executive duties are paid $4.75
n day.
Made $440,000 Appropriation
Mr. Joyce intimated that since Con
gress made n lump appropriation of
$440,000, which will mean Increased
pay for the mechanical employes, the
National Federation of Federal Em
ploves was trying to claim credit by
making it appear as though t was re
sponsible for the raise.
"Of course, some of our workers are
members of the federation, but not all,"
said Mr. Jovce.
Director Baker, in his reply to Mr.
Kinsell. said he had invited complaints
and criticisms while In Philadelphia but
received none.
"One or two highly skilled workers
in San FrancKco may get a little more
than the same class of workmen iiv
Philadelphia, he explained, "but if
that is so it will be due solely to locul
labor conditions on the Pacific coast,
where workers of that sort are not al
ways so easily obtainable as in the
F.ast."
His big aim. Director Baker said, was
to standardize wages paid to mint em
ployes throughout the country.

3BANDIT SUSPECTS
TO GETIfW TRIAL
Hearing of Trio Held for Bank
Robbery Ends Abruptly.
Taken From Jury
CHARGE OF PANEL 'TALKED
The trial of -John Ilogan, .Joseph
Ramsey nnd Hugh Dougherty, charred
with being three of the four bandits
who robbed the Ovnrbrook bank. Six
tieth and Master streets, last .Tnnuary
i, ended abruptly this afternoon In
Qunrter Sessions Court, when the case
woh taken from the jury's hands.
After former Congressman John R.
K. Scott, counsel for the defense,
brought out in nn examination that one
of the jurors talked about tho trial yes
terday to. a friend. osistont District
Attorney Kelley asked .Ititlce Monahan
to take the ease out of the jury's hands.
A new jury will be sworn and the en
tire case will be reviewed again.
The three defendants had been on
trial Hince Tuesday afternoon. Yes
terday Mr. Scott presented their de
fense by attempting to prove nn alibi
as to earh of the accused men. The
proceedings came to a halt when Clifford
A. Hastings. 2328 North Thirteenth
street, one of the jurors, was overcome
by the heat.
When court opened today, Hastings
was present, and Mr. Scott expressed
the doubt that the' man was not
physically fit to sit any longer ns a
juror. He asked -that the entire twelve
jurors be excused.
Hastings told Judge Monahan he had
fully recovered and was confident of his
nbility to serve until the end, of the
case.
The judge, before allowing the trial
to proceed, questioned nil the jurors as
to whether any one had spoken to them
regarding the case. The jurors all sat
mute, and a number shook their heads
negatively. '
Mr. Scott then caused a sensation by
asking thnt Juror No. 12. Harry A
Lwas, a civil engineer, 41123 Cedar ave
nue, be interrogated separately.
Told Wlfo of Case
Judge Monahan directed Laws to
come to tho bar of the court and the
other jurors were led from the room. In
answer to Judge Monahan's question
as to whether any one had spoken to
Laws about the case or whether he had
discussed it with any one, the juror
said:
"Only to my wife."
Mr. Scott then asked -Laws whether
he knew a man named Medic. Laws
admitted he did. With more questions,
Mr. Scott finally extracted from the
juror the admission that he had ex
changed a few words regarding the eas
with J. Joseph McCue, who has an
office at UnO South l'enn square.
The information was brought out that
the juror had stopped in Mr. McCue's
office yesterday to tell him that he
could not attend to the woik for him,
"Now I want jou to think a min
ute," said Mr. Stott. "You must
renlize from the trend of my questions
that I have certain information, and I
want you to try and recall. Didn't
you tell Mr. McCue that one of jour
fellow jurymen had been taken bick?"
"Yes, 1 believe I did," replied Laws.
"Didn't jou tell him that the de
fense was going to try to prove au
alibi?"
"I don't recall that I did."
"Didn't you say something to Mr.
McCue about the mother of one of the
defendants being called as a witness in
support of the alibi?"
"I may possibly have done so, but
1 don't remember."
"Didn't you say to Mr. McCue that
the case 'was going to be a battle; that
one of the jurors was going to be for
nrqulttal, but that you were going to
stand for a conviction.' "
Denies' Statements
"No, sir," replied Laws with em
phasis. "Didn't you say that the Jury would
probably be out all night."
"No. sir."
"Didn't you make any remark sug
gestive of what the ballot would be?"
"No, sir."
"Didn't you tell Mr. McCue, or in
tlniate to him, the first time you saw
him that tho defendants would be con
victed?" .
"No, sir."
The judge directed that a subpoena
be issued for Mr. McCue, and one wns
sont out immediately. Later, after Mr.
Kelly conferred with Assistant District
Attornpy Brown, tho raw was with
drawn. After the examination of laws had
been completed Mr. Kelly asked that
Mr. McCue be brought Into court to
testify.

the most important parts of two con

commerce and local government, written
by acting cabinet members of the. Irish
republic, which nrein possession of the
Pt'iiMo LBDfjRn Foreign Service, re
cal how the Sinn Fein controls county

how the Sinn Fein is building iitf "for

The reports of the minister of local

,i TieIoc,al Rovernment department of

It may be clear to all at home and

inally entertained wns that we 'should
endeavor to establish over the country
n series of small factories, each draw
ing its supplies from a single countv
area. On more maturo consideration,
however, that plan was dropped in
favor of one aiming nt haviug only two

Ireland. Since November, work has
been going on steadily and It may now
be said that the greatest difficulties ore
over.
An Irish Consul In America
"We have now consuls in New York,
Paris, Heme, Genoa and Buenos Aires,
who have'been active in putting before
the merchants nnd manufacturers of the
countries In which they are stationed
the possibilities of Ireland as n market
nnd source of supplies. In America,
Mr. Fowsitt has done excellent service
in connection with direct shipping. He
has kept in close touch with the I'nited
States Shipping Board and hns taken
care that Ireland was not forgotten. To
his efforts may be attributed the fact
that in fixing rnutea for two new lines
which will commence operation next
jear. namely. New York-Bremen nnd
Boston-Bremen, it -has been decided
that these ships, of which thirteen have
been chartered for the service, will, In
nil rases, call nt Queenstown on the
eastward journey.
"Toward the end of February tho
Irish Oversens Shipping Co. was estab
lished for the purpose of doing work
which could not be onenly done, by this
department in existing circumstances,
nnd also for the purpose of helping to
collect curgo for American ship;- which
were then leaving Dublin in ballast. In
carrying out its firt purpose the com
pany has acted oh agent for this depart
ment in all matters not confidential. It
has been able to correspond freely wiiu
our consuls, whose reports pass as let
ters fo a business firm seeking informa
tion about trade conditions abroad.
"A long Interview I had wth MrCor
mack, of the Monro-McCormack Line,
during his recent visit to this countrj,
convinced me that most of the freight lit
present leaving Ireland for America i.
going direct, except in cases where it
is bought and resold by English mer.
chnnts.
American Buyers Necessary
McCormack's opinion was that while
something may be done by carrying out
our original Intention of canvassing e
porters, providing storage factories ami
looking after goods for them, the imme
diate problem goes farther bark. It is
one of getting Irish goods sold in
America, flnce, ordinarily, Irlh linns
would not and should not ship anything
they had not alieady sold.

12. Headquarters officials have com-,
pletcd arrangements for the reception
of the Philadelphia Police Band, which'
is expccicn to arrive nere ssauirnay in
response to Mayor Moore's RPecial d-l
livery request, made during his visit to
ramp jesterday.
The Mayor's decision that the Phila
delphia doughboys should have a HUM
jazz on the side has gone large with
the troops. They say "Hampy" seems,
to jazz things up wherever he goes,
around City Hall or up aero in the
hills.
Transportation for the forty mem
bers of the band has been sent to Su
perintendent of Police Mills and camp
officials nre preparing to put the "cops"
under ennvns with the first provisional
regiment of Philadelphia boys near
Colcbrook.
Used Neighbor's Band
The hardworking recruits of the out
fit have been depending for muslcnl nc
companlment on the band of the ad
jacent Thirteenth Regiment, from up
statu, which will break camp tomor
row. The thought thnt they will havo
their own crack band for the finnl week
of the encampment, is taking their
minds off blisters nnd sunburn.
Governor Sproul finished his
"cruise" in the National Ounrd last
night,- and left for Harrisburg- aud
civilian life shortly nftcr 8 o'clock. He
was accompanied in his enr by Lieuten
ant. Governor Edward E. llcldleman.
his two aides, 'Cnp'f ln Jack Sproul nnd
Joseph B. Mc(ll, Jr., of Philadelphia,
and his secretary, Harry MrDevitt.
"I am hoping more nnd more that
the federalized NationnI Ouard will be
come the backbone of a great national
defense system that will stand the coun
try in good stead during nny times of
national stress that may arise," the
Governor declared just before his de
parture when he addressed a group of
officers from the Tenth and Thirteenth
Infantry Regiments gathered at head
quarters in his honor.
Moved Beyond Words
"I am too greatly moved to express
my appreciation of the sacrifices you
men inntlc during the war and the
further sacrifices of your time t and
energy you arc .-.'.skins In working for
the future of our gunrd," he continued.
"Some of you men know individually
how I, feel about this, nnd I can only
sny now that I am stirred with pride
after my day in camp with you. The
new Twenty-eighth Division Is carry
ing on with the spirit of the old."
The Governor hnd planned to spend
the night in camp, but after mess de
c'lded he needed the night's rest in
Hnrrisburg, where no reveilles blow,
after his strenuous day with the guards.
The first meeting of nn organiza
tion of Twenty-eighth Division wnr
veterans will be held at 4 o'clock to
morrow afternoon. By order of General
Price, two delegates from each com
pany or similar unit, one of whom will
be from the present enlisted personnel,
will report at the movingrplrturc pint
form to discuss an organization.
Purpose of Association
The purpose of the new association
will be to keep alive the esprit do corps
of the famous Twenty -eighth, to collect
its war records and to keen alive Its
history nnd traditions. It is probnble
that headquarters will be established,
possibly in Philadelphia.
One of those nenr accidents gave tho
crowds at yesterday's review a momen
tary thrill. A police horse, imported
from Philadelphia, broke away, and,
trailing a long iron hitching rail, dashed
across the upper end of the reviewing
field and headed for the Governor's
party. The horse charged into the
midst of the mounts of the Governor's
and Genernl Price's staff, but an alert
orderly seized its bridle before any dam
age was done.
City Treasury Balance
According to the report of City
Treasurer Frederick J. Khoyer, for this
week ending last night, receipts during
the week were Rl .1.18,007.15. Payments
were Sl.318,.188.15. The balance In
the treasury, not Including the sinking
fund, amounts to ?4.-158.417.81.
