Kr PASTOR PLAYS NO FAVORITES IN DRY’ DRIVE High and Low Alike Caught In Net Spread by Churchme" _t By Universal Service “When suddenly his mantle wide, “His hands impatient flung aside. “And, lol He met their wondering eyes, "Complete in all a warrior’s guise.” Joliet, 111., April 27.—IJke old Gen. John Muhlenberg, who converted his Virginia church into a recruiting station in the days of the American revolution, so Rev. H. K. Rompel wade use of the Methodist church here in war on bootleggers. In a drive against liquor that start ed from the church at midnight Sat urday night more than 21 raids were made and a count of prisoners at dawn Sunday showed a goodly num ber. ‘‘It is the place of the church to fight evil and fight it with any weap on at hand,” is the sentiment of Rev. Mr. Rompel. He regards liquor as an evil and prohibition laws as the weapons to fight it. He can see no reason, he says, why the ohurcfc should not get behind the law. Second Series of Raids The raids of Saturday night and early Sunday were the second con ducted under the leadership of the minister. Six months er,o he led a drive that resulted in closing a score of saloons and clubs. He gained the reputation of “two gun man" be cause of his ability to draw quickly and daring. When Rev. Mr. Rompel. like old preacher-warrior Muhlenberg, threw his church mantle aside he stood re vealed In the star of a pohibition en forcement officer. And at his beck and call stood 21 prohibition enforce ment agents. They met—these enforcement offi cers should by the preacher and rein forced by a score of members of the Wills county law enforcement league —in the Ottawa Street Methodist church at midnight. They had been dropping in all through the early hours of the night. No one heeded their coming or going. Play No Favorites Information as to places where liq uor was being <jold had been gathered for several wieks by the pastor and his friends. The federal raiders were given all the information. Bon ton club and lowly saloon alike felt the sop of the "dry” squad. The Joilet Social club, ultra fash ionable place where young men gather and sometimes entertain their lady friends, was the first place visited. There was a scurrying for cover, pleas for suppression of names and numerous alibis—all to no purpose. Liquor was seized wherever found. Rube’s place, the Court cafe, Work men s palace and so on down the line until all the places of night life in the town had been visited. Injunctions to permanently closo the places where liquor was found will lie asked in court Monday. Rev. Mr. Rompell will sign the complaints.

Difficult to Get Fair Consideration For Public Interests In Wage Disputes The bill to substitute national boards of adjustment of rail way wages for the railroad labor board is unfortunately coupled with the national wages agreement of the wartime. That “agree ment” was made by the unions, for the unions, and was imposed upon the country in the time of its distress. The objection to the national wage agreement was not that it raised wages, but that it wasted wages. It multiplied jobs and limited work to those listed in classes of duties divided and subdivided until there were over lappings and endless causes of dispute. There is no more odious cause of quarrels between labor and capital than jurisdictional labor disputes. In railway wage questions the dispute is between those who use the railways and those who work on them, rather than between labor and capital. The prime interest is that of the public, not of the unions, nor even of the shareholders of the rail ways. As public utilities the railways should not be subject to the reproach of paying wages unfairly low for the sake of profits, nor of wasting the labor procured by wages and not making the labor costs productive of transportation to the ultimate capacity of good administration. It is easier to state the principle than to apply it to details. For that there is need of an informed and dispassionate judgment, which cannot be expected either from the parties to railway labor bargains or from the public. When the labor board was estab lished, equal representation was given to the three interests, the idea being that the representatives of the public would hold the balance of power and could decide between capital and labor. The board did decide in favor of labor regarding the national unions. The board also decided in favor of the public and the railways by reducing wages, which even now remain high in rela tion to the cost of living index, or in relation to rates. The in defensible nature of the national wage agreement is shown by the perfectly amazing increase of transportation despite the fewer workers. The railways are not now wasting their labor costs. So far as the railway workers seek to abolish the labor board, and to restore national agreements and adjustments with waste of wages, it is contrary to public interest and unfair to all labor not included in national unions. Speaking for the railways, Daniel Willard said that they favored retention of the labor board, with some readjustment of the personnel so that the pub lic’s representation could control both labor and capital. AMERICAN METHODS SERVE AS MODELS TO THE RUSSIANS Moscow.—"What we need more than anything else is Americanized communists,” Editor Bucharin of^the Pravda told an assembly of Com munists the other day. "Our Com munists must learn to be as alert M Americans, at least so far aa the business and technical side of life is concerned. This is the general attitude of both press and public. Repeatedly the press points out the technical per fection and achievements of Ameri cans in business matters and urges Russians to follow their example. Within the plants and factories the management tries to put into prac tice what the papers and the lectur ers advocate theoretically. Many Russians who reimmigrated from America are holding high jobs as directors of large business and in dustrial enterprises. The government's efforts to en courage the reimmigration of Russian peasants from America is along the same line. The government is aware that these peasants will do more for the development of the agricultural situation in a very short time than all the lecturers and demonstrations ever will be able to accomplish. "American” is the password for everything in technical or commercial life. The press very seldom attacks America with regard to its political activities unless to reply to an attack by American papers on Communism. Once in awhile the Pravda or the Isvestia takes a bite of Secretary of State Hughes or some other Ameri can in public life, but this is really rare. Occasionally the organ of the work ingman attacks Gompers and laughs at what it calls the "stupidity” of his followers: but, as a rule, news paper attacks are aimed more at English life than that of America. Danish Count Has Livery Stable Job Spurns Aid of Distinguished Family; “On His Own” to Become U. S. Citizen Los Angeles.—Spurning financial assistance from his people, who are among the largest landowners of Den mark, Count S. Danneskiold Samsoe, son of Count and Countess Samsoe and on his mother’s side a direct descendant of King Christian V of Denmark, has taken a job as horse man and general utility boy at the stables of the Mldwick Country Club here. The Count is a nanasome young man of 23. He is athletic and a fine physical speclman. "It’s Jolly good sport,” he said when he appeared at a local hotel to in quire for Prince Erik of the royal family of Denmark. The Danish nobleman is also a direct descendant of several of the most heroic and famous characters of early Danish history. The family name, Deneskiold, was a famous one when Vikings ranged the seas. He is rapidly Improving his English and says he intends to become an Amer ican. Count Samsoe is an expert horse man and has shown his ability in that respect with the fine-bred polo ponies at the country club.

At the Midwick stables the count Is known as "Dan.” In fact, few of the club memhers and none of his ■table workers know of his blue blood ancestry. The count declares he is “on hl« own,” making his way In the world, and says he intends to continue doing so. The count is A college graduate and has specialised > animal husbandry and agriculture.

AFGHANISTAN TO BE MODERNIZED BY GERMAN EXPERTS Moscow.-—Afghanistan is going to be "Europeanized” and the Germans have engaged to do the trick. A group of 35 German experts pas sed through Moscow the day this was written, en route to Afghanistan.
