Secretary Morrison call'd attention to he shutting down of the mills and asked if the bankers believed they could fool anyone but themselves. "The outlook," said President Gompers.

Secretary Morrison said: "Let the bankers loll their story of the need of greater production the thousands of workers who have been laid off. Let them tell the coal miners to work harder. 'The miners are smashing all produe* Ion records, and yet we find the pr: • of coal is prohibitive, with bankers lecturing workers of greater production.

English Overworked Will Soon Be Rarity London, Eng.—The overworked English wage earner will soon be a rarity. Is the opinion of the chief inspector of factories and work shops, who says the shorter work day is rapidly replacing the old system of long, monotonous toil. It is stated that shortened working hous has had a benefitin' effect on wage earners, more so than any other recent Improvement in industrial conditions. Better timekeeping, less fatigue and overstrain and no increase in accidents. despite the fact that more men ar. employed In engineering (metal) trades, are other marked re-

sults.

Wit hregard to sickness, the report cites a large factory where some years ago the average number of abcdoption of the shrdlu shrdluhrdlu senteee were 40 dally. Since the adoption of the 44-hour week the the .erage has dropped to 10 dally. A npoit of interest to employers who have Incessently deplored the shortening of hours and insisted that proportionate decrease in production would Inevitably follow, is that according to the report, where outpu* was largely or entirely dependent on the worker, there was frequently no loss In production; indeed, in one wholesale tailoring establishment an increase (,[. 40 per cent was reported. In another instance, a boot factorywhere the hours of work were reduced from 52 to 48 per week, there was a considerable increase in output.

Chicago—“Somewhere in Chicago" sits the man who is the brains of the gieat Chicago whiskey ring. He livge in a comfortable apartment, which be uses also as an office. He is in almost daily communication by long distance telephone with Washington. Cincinnati and other cities. This "master mind” has four chief lieutenants. Two live in Chicago. | Two live in Washington. Mate $14,000,000 of th- tn are well-known men. The comm: nder-in-chief himself, though, is comparatively unknown. He is not a public man. nor a politician. These flv • men—the real "higherups." in a systematic boose traffic that covers . alf of the country—have cleaned up $.4,000,000 in profits since national proh bition went Into effect. Such Is t’ie story whispered in Chicago. It s a story that contains names ar 1 no addresses. It may be of the t •mslest foundation—but there are se eral people In Chicago who Insist it is true. Reports concerning this ' fourteen million dollar clique” are sli’nlflcantly persisten . There nar been emphasis on the story the pas' ■». *>k because of the activity of the fedemi c. and Jury probing the boose scandal and the coincident resignation of Major A. V. Dalrymple. most famous supervising prohibition commissioner in the coun-

try.

Chief Is Worried It is said the mysterious chief of the "fourteen million dollar clique” Is worried about Dalrympie's confidential report, though he claims to have such tremendous influence that he cannot be "touched." Major Dalrymple refuses to discuss his report Commissioner W'11 la ms in Washington clmits It? existence but went no further than a hint that it included "names of politicians and officials who attempted to block enforcement of the prohibition law." It is significant that two leading enforcement officials have resigned in Chicago, said to be the distributing center of the nation's Illicit booie industry. Captain Hubert Howard, state commissioner, resigned months ago with the admission he wts helpless—and that he had turned down opportunities to make a million dollars "easy money.” Dalrymple Out Now Now Dalrymple. who has hong on to bis job in spite of open opposition. is qnlt. Are they going to get the “higherps?” Everybody wonders. Meanwhile you can buy all the booie you want in Chicago—end in most every other city.

FurWorkers Enjoined New York— Justice Newburger of the Supreme Court has rushed to aid of bosses In their fight against organized fur workers, who have been on strike for five months to enforce equitable working conditions. Justice Newburger has issued at junction. To one unacquainted with American Institutions the court’s order roads as thoueh we 'mve no police power t oenforcc law or Jury trials to hear charges of law violation. According to the employers, thuggery and gang rule by the strikers Is i pant, and an injunction Is necessary to protect life. Instead of suggesting to employers that the law provides for such charges the court 1.- sued one of those sweeping "thou-shall-nof* edicts that gladden the heart of cheap labor, sweat shop employers. This order was Issued on the one-sided testimony of the employjustice Newburger and these employers are great Ixlievers in the American idealof justice for all citizens. The fur workers are striking fothe union shop, a 44-hour week, equal division of work in slack seasons, arbitration of discharge cas-s and limiting overtime. What a Difference "Very well. i:»en." sighed the stout siutor as he knelt before his adored one. "if wou won't, you won't, but you be iknd enough to give me ycur hand?" "Why I have just positively and definitely refused you!” the fair maid exclaimed in astonishment. "Ob. I understand that. I'm nc asking for your hand in marriagi but to help me to my feet.”

Upon my bean, they say Although I was a boxer once That now I am passe. But I wo- Id warn the critic bunch To judge me not in haste, And tell tehm I'll be boxing when I’ve whiskers to my waist. Veteran followers of the fistic game will be Interested to learn that Johnny Coulon has gone abroad again. He has a couple of French youths who are willing to box him and he really expects to meet Jimmy Wilde before he returns. Now. Johnny at one time was king of the bantams. He was a real wonder. Oldtlmers recall how he used to tour the country with his father as his manager. Johnny used to knock ’em tsiff In the ring and his father never knocked down any dollars at the turn-

stiles.

The / 'oulons. father and son. kept the money in the family, and the result Is that Johnny Is a landlord now and owns a flock of Chicago apartment houses. As a matter of fact. Johnny shouldn’t be going to Europe as a boxer but as a blooming sightseer— of those Yankee tourists with pockets full of kale. Perhaps he is figuring on Just making his expenses by a couplt of bouts In Paris. Anyway, the French boxing fans should receive Johnny mere in the light of a tourist than a boxer. Johnny wears an iron hat and it covers a bold bead. He is getting along In years and he can’t box 2 cents' worth any more. That's not to Hls discredit That Is simply meant as a kindly warning to the gallant French boxing enthusiasts judge American bantamweight boxing by Johnny’s efforts in the ring.

Hays, “Political Napoleon,” Draws the “Goat” Job By Edward M. Thierry Chicago—In Ch'cago they’re now calling Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee, the Napoleon of them all. They are giving the lion's share of the c: edit for the Republican landslide to this "political wizard." But there's a joker In the compliments they're handing Hays. vlx.—the "goat" Job of the campaign. Fears Big Deficit The Republican national committee has a deficit estimated at $2,000,000. the largest deficit in American political history. That must be collected. And all the Republican leaders are saying: "Let Will do it!” So Will H .Hays, who was the brain* behind the drive that netted more than $2,000,000 before the election. is the ‘Voat." Fred Upborn, Republican national treasurer. Is receiving the money. But Hays must do the directing and see that the books balance. The lid's off new. The thousanddollar limit on subscriptions is off. It is claimed the deficit will be made up quickly. The recent Upham financial statement showed the Republican national committee had spent $3,424,892. Besides It was responsible for getting the funds spent by the congressional and senatorial committees, estimated at between $700,000 and $800,000. This will boost the total cost of the Republican victory to more than $4,000,000. Four Years Ago Previously the biggest campaign deficit was the $650,000 owed by the Democrats on election day four years ago. Hays is expected to clean up this Job as well as he did that of organizing Republican forces. They call him t\e "miracle man" because he began working 18 months ago on his budget system and plans In general, so that he had a perfectly functioning machine the day Harding was nominated

New York Letter By Lacey Jeanne Price New York- -Common folk who are rejoicing because their favorite dairy lunch has reduced the price of a dish of prunes from 15 to 10 cents, and continued to practice of serving five prunes to the portion, will be Jealous of New Yorkers now. Three big hotels have brought their table d'hote dinners down to a mere $2.50 per plate—the Waldorf-Astoria from $4.50. the McAIpln from $4.25 and the Claridge from $4.60. Carmen Campellano, Just in from a train, was too darned anxious to induce the recruiting officer to send him to an army post farther removed from New York than Fort Slocum Is. A Pennsylvania railroad station detective who heard Campellano vainly endeavoring to enlist conditionally upon hls being sent to Honolulu or Manllr.. decided to arrest him on the chance that he might have done something somewhere and wanted merely to get far away from mere for a B,.ell. The Sleuth's hunch was right: Campellano had the day before killed a man In Philadelphia. Even those who hare been tempted to shoot a singer for singing will sympathize with Mme. Nina KorshetxShubert. a Russian prima donna Just landed on the l*annonla. Mme. Korshetz-Sbubert was a soprano In the Russian Royal Opera Company at Petrograd. and was captured by ae Bolsheviks. The singer said that they "nationalized her

voice.”

Until her escape, the Bolshevik Government forced her to travel throughout Russia and sing In public concerts, the Reds taking the receipts and giving her barely enough to live on. The several times she refused to sing, she was told to either sing or be shot. She sang. Robert TT. (Rob) Davis Is leaving Munsey's. He who handled O. Henry’s copy, who published the early stories of Mary Roberts Rinehart, who guided Fannie Hurst, who brought Charles E. Van Loan and Ben Ames Williams out of newspaper city rooms and who stood between Montague Glass and a law office. Davis found the inimitable O .Henry on the top floor of a little hotel In Twenty-Fourth street In the early nineties, read a few of hls stories, and put him under a contract for five years. Davis published the first three novels and all of the early short stories of Mary Roberts Rinehart. To Fsnny Hurst he suggested the *ype of stories she now excels In; he bought her first year's output when she came to New York from St. Louis. Van Loan and Williams left the t vbpaper game, confident of themselves because of the trust he had In their ability. Montague Glass came to Davis ready to quit writing; he would reto hlii practice of law. Davis induced him to try three more stories. One of .hem was the first of the 'Potash and Perlmutter" series. Glass never returned to law. Very few New Yoikers, when arranging nowadays to give a party, put "It. S. V. P.' at the bottom of their Invitations. Instead, there is almost universally the mystic letters. "B. Y. O." I'll warrant that in this A. P. day and age few will need more than three guesses as to what "B. Y. O.” means.
