WAR SHIPS DOOMED Hints Officer After Recen Bombing Experiments Washington.—Recent bombing ex periments have "demonstrated conclu sively" that aircraft bombs can put out of commission any naval vessel that has been designed or built up to that time, declares General Pershing in an article in the Aeronautical Di gest. The army official does not enter into the realm of prophecy, but he makes it clear that no war ship has yet been devised to cope with aerial bombing While due acknowledgment is made of the peace-time conditions under which these bombings were made, and that the war ships presented no de fense, General Pershing says: "The bombing experiments of a year ago pointed out that one of the major missions of this air force which will form part of the army of the United States, it was demonstrated conclu sively that aircraft bombs can be dropped with surprising accuracy and that they could put out of com mission and actually sink any naval vessel which had been designed built up to that time." To cope with these new conditions the army official recommends that the government encourage the new means of transportation and communica tion, and that commercial aircraft ship be developed to the highest point The statement would indicate that ponderous battleship fleets will even tually be replaced by air fleets. REWARD STRIKE BREAKERS San Francisco.—The Southern Pa cific railroad, it is announced, will re ward its strikebreaking shop men. The announcement reads like a re port from a battle front in the world war, as the public is informed that many division officials "rendered ser vice of distinction" in the strikebreak ing stunt. A low estimate is placed on the worth of the ordinary strike breaker, who will be paid as low as WHITEWASHED it Congress Would Jail Kel* ler, But Are Only Sub jects of Ridicule A L.ame Ducks Set Themselves I For After March 4 Plums Washington.—The house judiciary I committee was ridiculed by Congress man Connally for stating in its Daugherty whitewash report that the house has the power to confine Con-f gressman Keller in jail aintil he con sents to testify before the committee. I The Texas lawmaker quoted the I It is declared the house will not act the committee's recommendation, but the lame ducks on the committee! ^on» have proven their "regularity" when the plums are to- be distributed after March 4, Congressman Thomas, of Kentucky, traced the record of the judiciary committee in this case, and showed its bias. The speaker referred to the re- fusal of Attorney General Daugherty I to appear before the committee and be cross-examined. Congressman Blanton was given! some newspaper publicity because of his attack on President Gompers in this case. Congressman Thomas made this scathing reference to his Texas colleague: "He (Blanton) has about as much knowledge of the case as a swan floating on the broad bosom of mid Atlantic has of the immeasurable depths beneath it." GIVES WARNING Oil Magnate Tells Big Busi-| ness People Are Restless Washington.—Testifying before the senate oil investigating committee, Colonel Robert W. Stewart, of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, said American industry must set itsI affiliates house in order and adopt a definite economic policy that will command the respect and support of the people The testimony is unusual from many standpoints and especially because business men, when testifying before congressional committee, have but one song: "Everything is all right with industry save a few agitators who would destroy capital." The testimony indicates that in the inner circles of big business are those who note the people's growing re sentment against the centralization of wealth, excessive profits, stock divi dends, low wages and union smashing The oil magnate's plain talk has jarred those people "who don't believe in agitators," but who now hear a capitalist talk the same language of men who are called "agitators." The testimony is an acknowledgment that big business has about run its high binder course and that it must shorten sail and reorganize its policy. Colonel Stewart's warning is con sidered so important that the Wash ington Post, spokesman for the na tional administration and friend of trade unions—"when they are run right"—arrays itself in sack cloth and ashes and trumpets to tlie world: "American industry, in*many respects, has been blind to light and deaf to reason affecting its own existence." BIG TEXTILE PROFITS New York.—Business associations! and financial interests are doing the I "yes, yes" act when northern textile I employers claim they can not compete with southern mills. In Rhode Island a great cry is raised over the Jenckes Spinning Company sending a portion I of the machinery of a Pawtuekett| mill to North Carolina. President McMahon, of the United I Textile Workers of America, asks if this company is stating facts when it claims it cannot run cotton mills at a profit. "In the five years ending June 30, 1921, the latest figures available, this| company made a total profit of $10, 400,000" says the trade unionist. I "During the first three of these five| years the company did not own the Lo ray mills of Gastonia, N. C. In those! three years its profits totaled over $5,500,000—all made in Rhode Island." FLOGGINGS I BY PUBLIC constitution, court decisions, legal au thorities, precedent and English de-l committee has established mob gov cisions to show that members of the I ernment and driven out of town every judiciary committee, composed mainly JF- ORDERED OFFICIALS Little Rock, Ark.—Emmett Crosby testified before a legislative commit tee that city officials of Hebcpr Springs ordered workers flogged to secure information regarding alleged depredations on the Missouri North Arkansas railroad. Crosby said he was taken from his home by a mob after receiving a warning to give information from Mayor Vinson, who acted as spokes man for the mob. Crosby said he was tied to a pole and whipped by three men. He was then warned to leave town before sunrise, he said. $ Witnesses stated that the citizens' wo,ker of lawyers, ignored their profession, Congressman Connally based his po sition on this point: "Congress has the right to expel member, because that power is ex pressly granted under the constitu tion, but when that member is ex-1 suited in the present strike, is liablgt pelled his constituents have the powerl to be lynched or flogged. and the right under the constitution to elect a successor to represent them here. But when the house of repre sentatives asserts the right to take from this floor a member who repre sents 200,000 or 300,000 people and in carcerate him in the public jail, and prevent the exercise of his duties on the floor of this house, because he re fuses to testify before a committee, it violates the very principle upon which the constitutional privilege was established." STATE'S RIGHTS PLEA RAISED Charlotte, N. C.—The proposal to regulate child labor by amending the federal constitution will be opposed by United States Senator Overman, of this state, who writes to the local central body that the plan involves state's rights. Mr. Overman says he will vote lor only one amendment to the constitu- an(i have ject in a way that is satisfactory gen erally, and that is the reason why I cannot comply with your request, as I would otherwise like to do," ASK YOUR DEALER FOR THEM The Cigar Makers'Co-op erative Co, Phone Canal 188 917 Main Street Cincinnati Ohio i: jack DedricKi!

PAY RICH DIVIDENDS AND PAUPER WAGES Bayonne, N. J.—The Vacuum Oil Company, a Standard oil unit, was forced by its workers to pay a wage scale equal to other local companies. The workers first demanded a 12 per cent increase, but they accepted the compromise. This company is one of the most prosperous among the Standard oil Recently it announced large stock dividends. That brings you back for another pack and they're sure. UNION MADE. Smoke Strictly Union Made Cigars ft- V :-m feV! v
