Car Shortage.
Lincoln, Neb., July 6.—The state
railway commission is issuing a
warlitng to farmers that they will
have to hold indefinitely their new
crop of small grain, and advises them
to make storage arrangements at
once. This statement followed a
meeting with representatives of the
Interstate Commerce commission.
The commissioners find that while
they propose to keep after the rail
roads in the matter or car supply,
they expect only limited results.
Ordinarily at this time cars enough
to carry a third of the wheat crop are
on sidetracks in Nebraska waiting
on a call for cars. This year there
is no surplus at all, due to two
things, increase of general business
over pre-war demands and reduc

ARRIVE IN NEBRASKA FROM
BATTLE-SCARRED ZONE

they lived during the war in a vil

Conditions are no better today be
cause of the pogroms against the
Jews, they say, and they assert that
the cloud of bolshevism over Poland
makes the government very weak.
For three years they had tasted no
sugar, and had had little butter, eggs,
meat or vegetables, their principal
article of food being the bread made
from bran and bark. It is hard for
them, today, to eat the well-cooked

Mrs. Linkewiescz rescued from
her home a sack of fine old silver

clares that both Russians and Ger
mans were relentless In persecution
of the Poles, and that now porgoms
are being pursued against the Jews.

Attorney General of Nebraska
Asserts Conviction of Wayne
Normal Professor
Was Regular.
Lincoln, Neb., July 3.—Attorney
General Davis has filed a brief in
supreme court insisting that the Judg
ment of the Wayne county district
court be affirmed In the case wherein
James M. Wiley, former dean of the
commercial department at the state
normal located at Wayne, was con
victed of adultery. He was sentenced
to a year in prison. The woman in the
case was a pupli at the school. Miss
Kate Adams.
Wiley’s attorneys had previously
filed an appeal in which they referred
to the girl as a river rat and declared
her story to be unfounded. They said
that the evidence does not sustain
the verdict, that under the law no one
Is guilty of adultery on proof of a
single offense, and complain that they
were not given the right to cross-ex
amine the prosecuting witness.
The attorney general asserts that
the girl’s story was corroborated by
the conduct and statements of Wiley
and that when he called at the house
where Miss Adams and another girl
with whomscandal had linked his name
lived, and there asked the housekeep
er fcr permission to talk to them.
Mr. Davis says this statement of
Wiley sworn to by the housekeeper,
clinches the case:
“I am denying nothing. I am re
penting. I have nothing to live for.
1 do not want to live, but before I die
I want to atone for my sins, and if
you will give me an Interview with
these girls I will make a statement
exonerating them before the world.”
Wiley is 50 years old, married and
has been a school teacher all his
life.

Cost of Armenian Mandate.
From the New York World.
It will perhaps be conceded that Pre
mier Venizelos of Greece has a knowl
edge of conditions about Armenia al
most 11 not quite equal to that pos
sesed by the United States Senate.
This fact lends some interest to what
ho has to say in a Paris cablegram
concerning an American mandate for
that distracted victim of bloody Turkish
oppression.
The number of troops needed to ad
minister the mandate would not be
100,000 but only about 20,000. The ex
pense, accordingly, would not run into
the tens of millions of dollars yearly,
but should fall far short of the more
conservative Senate estimates. The
soldiers sent over would not have to be
drafted and would not have to be
drawn from the ranks of native Ameri
cans who would not be exposed in suc
cessive divisions year after year to
"slaughter and disease and despair In
a strange land." As Mr. Veniselos says,
the United States has enough citizens
of Armenian birth to volunteer and to
fill all the military requirements of the
Job and the civil list as well. What is
chiefly wanted of this country Is the
loan of its organizing power which
would make Armenia capable of de
fending Itself within five years.
June In Iowa.
From Christian Science Monitor.
Going through Iowa in June, the tour
ist from the city, or from the far west
ern arid regions that have to be con
stantly irrigated, wonders why so many
natives of this pleasant state have emi
grated to hon Angeles. With its rolling
hills, Its cornfields, and Its hits of wood
ed pasture along the smallest stream,
Iowa is always refreshing to look at.
For one who knows hpw to appreciate
the true farm, it is even more refresh
ing to spend a vacation In this state,
or even to settle down in it for the
summer. Along the Mississippi, for in
stance, tn June one finds loaded cherry
trees, strawberries and raspberries to
make the Californian envious, enough
foliage and green things generally to
satisfy any man, and with it all a quiet
feeling of enthusiasm that is neither
quite eastern nor obtrusively western.
Iowa, indeed, has never been properly
boomed. A little judicious advertising
on the part of its good citizens ought to
do wonders in attracting there, at least
for the summers, those who are needed
to take care of maximum production, as
well as some few others who merely
wish a change.
The Prodigal Returns.
It lies, the valley of my content,
Among New England hills;
And daily, like a lifted cup.
With night and morning fills;
And for my soul's replenishment
A goodly brew distils.
For there are wise end friendly folk
Who lend a helping hand—
And sometimes, too, a neighbor's joket
As those who understand
My Innocent temerities
With tool and seed and land.
For there the thrushes sing at dawn
And blossom-scented eves;
And through the night the whippoorwill
Reiterantly grieves;
And the young grass Is delicate
With shadows of new leaves.
For there are talks beside the fire.
And silences of gold;
And little eager, furry beasts
To watch at play, or hold.
And life grows warm and kind again
That once was polar cold.
It lies, the valley of my content.
Among New England hills;
And dally, like a lifted cup,
With night and morning fills;
And for my soul's replenishment
A goodly brew distils.

j Holds Labor Union Responsible j
t-- --A-----—
Rochester Special to the New York Times.
Justice Adolph Rodenbeck, In the supreme court of New York, has
handed down a decision in the case of the Michaels-Stern Clothing Com
pany against the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America for a per
manent injunction and $100,000 damages. The attitude taken by Justice
Rodenbeck throughout his decision, one of the most momentous from the
point of view of the industrial world which has been handed down in the
United States in recent years, is that no labor union has the right to mako
Itself a labor monopoly and use force and Intimidation in any way to effect
its end. The justice says:
"The plaintiffs were required to win their way in the world of business
by hard and honest competition and by the character and quality of their
goods; but the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, instead of endeavoring to
secure recognition by an example of enlightened and reasonable admin
istration In other factories, chose to force their way into plaintiff's factory
by seoreey and by a strike backed by its powerful influence and supported
by acts that the law condemns. Ultimate success in the labor movement
docs not lie along this line, but in the direction of a peaceful exemplification
of a just and reasonable administration of affairs of the union with ad
vantages not only to employers and employes, but to the public as well.”’
Regarding the stand taken by the Amalgamated union against ths
United Garment Workers, the American Federation of Labor union, which
had been recognized by the Michaels-Stern Company, the decision char
acterized it as "selfish.” Justice Rodenbeck holds it to be purely and simply
one of monopolization, which in the language of the decision would do no
good to either-party, since “it would defeat its own purpose so far as wages
were concerned by raising prices as fast as the cost of production was in
creased," assuming that the clothing manufacturers were as closely affiliated,
as the Amalgamated union seeks to be. The decision continues:
In a proper case the law will protect the general public as well as tne
Individual from oppression from any source. It is the duty of the govern
ment to protect the one against the many as well as the many against the
one. Monopolies and exclusive privileges are alike condemned, whether
accomplished by combination of labor or capital. The law is opposed to all
monopolies, whether of labor or capital, as experience has taught mankind
that an economic or industrial despotism has no more consideration for
the general good than a political despotism and is an undue barrier to the •
Exercise of personal liberty and freedom of action, the development of
Industries and reasonable competition in life.”
The fundamental theory of American government is touched upon
clearly and unequivocally. The decision reads. “This government is founded
upon the theory of equal rights and equal opportunities for all, of personal
liberty and freedom of action of Individuals. It was a protest against per
sonal and political domination of individual thought and action, and this
spirit has shaped and colored all our laws. There has been a constant effort
to preserve th« character of our institutions and to condemn monopolies
of all kinds as an undue interference with the fundamental principles of
government."
