6 WILL OPPOSE DISLOYALISTS American Legion to Line Up Against Public Office Seekers New Tork. Aug. 21.— Persons of doubtful loyalty and especially those whose disloyalty has been established who seek legislaUve or other public office will be vigorously opposed by The American Legion, the national organization of American veterans of the Great War. This action is urged upon the entire membership of tlie Legion through 3,000 Posts already organized, in a resolution adopted by the national execuUve committee in session here.

It reads as follows: "Resolved, That The American Legion in accordance with its announced principles as ex pressed in the preamble of its constitution and in the resolu tions adopted by it in caucus as sembled, stands squarely against violation, or threat of violation, of law and order, whether by in dividuals or aggregations of in dividual: that it advocates —and urges upon its membership to ~ advocate the imposition cf full penalties upon violators of the Espionage Act; that it is immut ably opposed to. and urges its membership to oppose, the ad . mission to. the national legisla five body, or to any other public office, of persons of doubtful lov- and more especially of whose disloyalty lias been determined."

Herrlck, of this city, member of the I Executive Committee of the National I Association of Owners of Railroad I Securities, declared in a statement ' that "the turning over of the vast j system of railroad lines to the con trol of the Government, and through ! the Government to the control of or- I ganized labor, would be a long step toward the establishment in this ) country of an autocratic power that j would imperil the llberities of the American people." Mr. Herrick. who was formerly ; Governor of Ohio and American am- i bassador to France, is a banker, ) director of the Erie Railroad and of the New York Life Insurance Com pany. Mr. Herrick asserted in his state- , ment that "the experience of the last' t.vo years with the railroads, as with | the telegraph and telephone lines is j ample proof that there is neither ef- ! ficieney nor economy in Government ■ control. He said that such control j and operation would defeat the pur- ! pose for which the railroad brother- ! hoods were established and that it j would Involve a huge addition to the ! public debt as the value of the rail- I roads was estimated at $17,000,000,000. j Public Must Pay Bill Referring to the agitation by rail road employes through the officers I of their organizations in favor of Government ownership of the roads, • Mr. Herrick said: "This propaganda will not be favor- j ably received by the people of this country who, as always, must pay , the bill. The deficit incurred In less ' than two years of federal operation is already more than $500,000,000 and is amounting at the rate of $2,000,000 j a day in spite of sharp increases in I freight and passenger rates. Directly j or indirectly, in taxes, freight. charges and increase in the cost of! goods the burden of that deficit on | the people and contributes in tre- j niendous measure to the oppressively j high cost of living. In the face of j that showing who could conscienti- I ously wish to perpetuate govermental control of the railroads? "I cannot believe the brotherhoods i have thoroughly considered the con- j sequences that would follow Govern- : ment ownership or that they have i prepared to exercise this great power. 1 Their present propaganda is "wholly; at variance with the character of their organizations" and with their ! long and honorable history." To add the cost of the railroads to : ihe Government's debt, Mr. Herrick j said, "would weaken the Government borrowing power, depreciate further j Government securities and increase ! the rate at which the Government j can borrow. He pointed out that the war added $20,000,010,000 to the pub- j lie debt in two years and that the j annual interest charge alone is now j A Woman's Testimony Mrs. Ettie Warren, a farmer's wife, of Emmittsburg, >ld., openly! declares how she has found health | through reading a newspaper ad- J vertisement of Lydia E.

All the billions of tvealth j owned by the people of the b nitcd , States are to go forward or back- I ward, dependent upon the legislation | which is Just ahead. A mistake will threaten the whole financial struc ture. j Mr. Herrick said that he believed , the best plan yet presented for solv ing the railroad question was that [presented to Congress by the National j Association of Owners of Railroad 8e ! curlties. This plan, he said, provides : for a fixea percentage return to the roads and that where a road makes ! a profit in excess of 6 per cent, the 1 excess shall be divided between the ! Government, the employes and the : railroad. In his opinion this plan 1 protected all interests the .public, ! the shipper, employes and owners. I "The time for experiments has passed" said Mr. Herrick. "The Gov ernment has followed fads and fan : eies far enough. Now let us forget I partisan and politics and devise a i practical plan for the business-li,te j management of our great vehicles of | commerce giving men of experience and vision a chance to exercise their ; abilities. Radical experimentation is ; unthinkable." I, I HP; OF V MILK BOTTLE i Th average milk bottle makes only (seventeen trips before it is broken or I lost.

Merrill, of Somervllle, Mass., and Thomas L. Cotton, of Lingle, Wyo., were caught amid heavy shellfire in a mutiny of Russian troops at Tulgas on the Dvlna river sometime ago. Their experiences have just been told. Merrill and Cotton who were for merly Dartmouth college athletes, were the only Americans In the vil lage which was garrisoned by Rus sian troops, with a few British offi cers. The Russians, fearing that they were about to bo cut off and surrounded by the Bolshevlki, de termined to mutiny. They escorted the two Americans to a blockhouse which was under fire from Russian artillery. The blockhouse eventually be came too hot for the Russian es corts and they fled, leaving the Americans to make their escape to Archangel by rowing 230 miles down the river.

NO LONG STOPPAGE OF PRODUCTION IS INDICATED IN COUNTRY'S STEfcL MILLS New York, Aug. 21.—Pending the uctuul test ot strength, labor union claims concerning the strike vote at large steel plants have been sweep ing. but with continued suppression ot the fact that the unions in various mechanical lines are but a fraction of the whole body of employes, suys the Iron Age to-day. Strikes may come, as they have come in the past month, at various plants, and output may be cut down, but a general and long continued stoppage of produc tion is not now indicated. In some directions it ic known that the re sults of the concentrated efforts of organizers in the past two months have been disappointing. The labor situation at Cleveland and at the Lake Superior ore docks is much improved but is not yet cleared up. The American Steel & Wire Co.'s railroad employes at Cleveland have returned. The com pany's b.nst furnace resumption is only partial, but steel works are op erating. At some upper lake ports ore shipments have started. It is significant, in view of the widespread steel works campaign for union recognition, that that demand of the wire company strikers at Cleveland was withdrawn. If other shutdowns come it is probable that some works would be allowed to re main idle indefinitely. Illast Vur naccs Resume There h;xs been a rapid resump tion of blast furnace and steel works operations at Gary and South Chi cago on the ending of the railroad shopmen's strike, but the steel work ers' decision in that district is a fac tor of uncertainty, in view of the spe cial activities cf union organizers there. The Carnegie Steel Co.'s bid of 2.50 c. on close to 30.000 tons of plates for battleships 49 and 50 at the New Navy Yard was the outstanding fact of the week in the finished market. Other bids were $3 BUSINESS GIRLS MARRY When all these seductive feminine arts have produced the desired el feet and the roving eye of the young girl has foeussed upon the man ot her choice she enters into her season ot courtship. She can meet lier sweetheart at pwes, those festive parties that seem to take place every night in Burma. Here the Burmese girl in search of a husuand estab lishes herself at a stall for selling tobacco, long cheroots or flowers. It is not considered at all degrading for a woman to keep a stall. In fact any number of well-to-do women set them up at places where crowds are liable to congregate, as it is said a stall, shop or booth Is the quickest way of attracting a desirable hus band. In the smaller towns there is scarcely a house where the women have not arranged a small shop tor the sale of betetnut, cocoanuts, look ing glasses, toiiet articles or cotton goods from Manchester. The prolits of this little trade are pin money for the wives or daughters. The English say that the Burmese woman is a better business man than her husband, and that in driving a sharp bargain she is far more successful than her much less aggressive hus-1 band. Pagoda feasts offer exceptional op- - portunities for lovelorn swains, and i many young couples have found their future happiness when gazing into Buddha's eyes. Eventime is courting time the world over, espe cially in this country, which is too hot during the day to permit any useless expenditure of energy, even by an ardent lover. They also say that the men of Rtirma are influ enced by the proverb: "In the morning the women are cross and peevish, in the middle of the day they are testy and quarrel some, but at night they are sweet and amiable." There is no love making as wo i know it in a Burmese courtship, no i kissing and holding of hands and I embracing. This would be most! shocking to the modest instincts of i the Burmese maiden. Yet love hasj in Burma, as in all the rest of the world, its own signs.

Soil nt Net Prices Leading manufacturers of cold fin ished steel bars and shafting have abandoned the long standing list and discount basis and are selling at a net price with extras. The extras have been readjusted, so that the new prices on small sizes represent i eductions. Late cables show that German iron and steel prices, reduced to dol lars. are low in comparison with American prices; for example, hema tite pig iron at $28.85, billets at $32, rods at $32.20, and thin sheets at $50.50. But these are the equivalents of prices in Germany. In neutral markets. as in Holland. German prices lately reported have been above those of American products. In the Britsh market further sales of American skelp hnve been made and an order for 300,000 boxes of oil size tin plates has been divided be tween Wales and the United States at about 3 4s. for the Welsh plates. On a number of British steel prod ucts latest quotations show advances. Coke has advanced sharply this week, sales to blast furnaces having been made at $4.50 to $4.75 for prompt shipment, representing 50c. advance in a week.
