Washington, Aug. 30. Samuel
-; fioinpers, president of the American
lederation of Labor, in a statement
to the League to Enforce Peace,
tikes issue with the opposition to
i he labor articles of the peace treaty
which has a proposal before the
senate foreign relations committee
to strike them out.
"The covenant for a league of na
tions and the treaty of peace of
which it is a part," said Mr. Gom
neri, "holds the first world agree

that has been secured for labor, and

. , The Pirates of 19
The creaping barrage of verbal criticism is being fol
lowed at this hour by the belated infantry attack of con
certed government action against the entrenched profi
teers." Up to the present moment not a single important
objective has been taken. A few supply dumps have been
captured in the eastern and middle western sectors, but
the common enemy appears to be holding fast in the works
he constructed while the attention of the country was cen
tered upon a foreign front. He battles hard, apparently
being well supplied with the poison gas of subsidized press
and supported by a platoon or more of sympathetic and
apathetic legislators.
, Yet the outlook for his ultimate sharp defeat is bright.
America has set its face at last to the job of extirpating
the most vicious brood that Mars was sire to. And be
certain that whatever reserves, whatever leadership, the
conflict may demand as its wages it? course, .those ele
ments will be supplied by an outraged people. Profiteer
ing, the twentieth century recurrence of medieval piracy,
must end. Iom the American Legion Weekly.

COHAN PREDICTS
ACTORS' VICTORY
WITHIN 10 DAYS
Says Producing Managers Have
Offered Contract That Con
cedes Nearly All Demands.
New York. Aug. 30. Settlement
of the actors' strike within 10 days
! on terms which appeared on their
f face to be victory for the Actor's
Lquity association was predicted
, by George M. Cohan at a meeting
I of the recently organized Actor's
1'idelity association.
Mr. Cohan announced the Pro
! ducing Manager's association had
5 ottered a contract with an arbitra-
tion clause providing that in cases of
' dispute the actor "may be repre-
scnted before the board by any as
i sociation." The cheif point of con
I tcntion in the strike had been re
fusal of the managers to recognize
. the Actor's Equity association.
Although the Actor's Equity as-
sociation was not mentioned in the
contract which Mr. Cohan read,
it was generally believed that
the clause was intended to cover
the Actor's Equity association as
well as members of the Fidelity
and unorganized actors.
The contract is said to include
among its provisions virtually every
demand the strikers have made, in
cluding extra pay for performances
in excess of eight per week.

Washington, Aug. 30. Replying

'cmocrat, Oklahoma, declared Mr.

anship and by a distrust of popular
institutions.
Referring to the committee

league of nations and the ill-famed
holy alliance," Mr. Owen said the
argument had overlooked the in-a-igue
and autocratic selfishness
v h'ich surrounded the alliance.

cused from doing so, despite the
fact that , City Attorney Mossman
asserted the council has authority
to force access to the books of
property owners.
"I think we are safe in assuming
Friday night's effort marks the final
attempt on the part of city officials
to do anything for us," said a ten
ant of the Angelus apartment.
Commissioner Ringer, who pre
sided over the investigation, ad
journed the meeting without set
ting the time for another gathering.
Like Food "Probe."
"Just like their food investiga
tion," declared one of the attorneys,
"this rent proposition is a huge
joke so far as the city council is
concerned. There is an influence
dominiating the city commissioners
which cannot be prevailed against
until the authority of certain mem
bers has been curtailed. If we ex
pect to get anywhere, at least three
members of the council must be re
moved, or we will have to take our
cause to the district court."
"I do not look for anything defi
nite in this direction," he continued,
"until the latter part of September.
Most of the high rates are sched
uled to take effect October 1. We
have formulated a plan of action,
which I dp not feel free to disclose
at this time. With three other at
torneys I have gone itjto this matter
thoroughly and I am positive that
there is a legal and proper way out
of this trap which was set by the
landlords for their tenants."
It was declared a number of suits
would be filed in the district court,
which more than likely would in
volve almost endless litigation. This
plan, it was declared, would tie up
thousands of dollars in rentals, with
the possibility that property owners
would not be able to collect from
their tenants for many months.
The attorney was asked what ac
tion was contemplated in the event
the owners instituted ejection pro
ceedings against -the occupants of
the apartments.
"We have considered carefully
this feature of the case," he re
plied. "There is a way to meet the
issue, and I think I am safe in pre
dicting that not a single tenant will
be ejected because he refuses to
be victimized by the Omaha rental
combine."
Organized tenants not only have
been laying their plans for a de
fensive, but declare they are pre
paring for an aggressive attack.
Attorneys are of the opinion that
an illegal combine exists among
certain operatives, house agents in
Omaha. They say they will be
able to produce evidence, and while
it was hoped that this would be de
veloped by the city commissioners,
their failure to do so has not dis
couraged men and women who have
indicated a purpose to delve to the
bottom of the affair.
Urges Grand Jury.
"It may be necessary for a spe
cial grand jury to make the investi
gation," asserted one of the attor
neys. "Mayor Smith's indifference
to thousands of oppressed citizens
of this city, who have a right to ex
pect his support, and the efforts of
other commissioners to throw cold
water on this investigation, will not
affect our plans in the least.
"These men at the city hall saw
a chance to take advantage of the
imposition of apartment house dwel
lers to play politics. They stepped
to the front with high sounding
speeches, but when the spot light
was turned on them, they failed mis
erably. They could not stand the
inspection.
"After their blundering failures,
both in the food and rent investi
gation, it is my opinion the people
of Omaha have learned to expect
very little from the city hall may-jority.

be useless to press their requests
further since their utterances while
in Ireland had offended British
statesmen.
Great Britain, the speakers said,
had drawn the United States into the
league to help guarantee such "out
rages" as it was committing in
Ireland. At the same time, they
asserted, England had been careful
to preserve a sea power which gave
her " a grip on every quarter of salt
water in the world," and which,
under the present circumstances,
could be intended for use only
against the United States.
Extend Time to Irish
Although the committee origi
nally had alloted only two hours to
the hearing, when presentation of
the Irish cause had been fairly
launched it was voted to extend the
time for as long as the speakers de
sired. They took most of the day.
A brief opposing the views ex
oressed bv the witnesses was filed
with the committee by Albert E.
Kelly of New York and five others.
The brief orotested against the at
tempt of representatives of a faction
in Ireland, known as the Sinn Fein
party, or of any kindred organiza
tions favoring their movement in
the United States to bring the Irish
question into discussion of the peace
treaty.
Brief Not Read.
The brief was not read, but was
ordered put into the record of the
hearing. The signers said they
were of Irish birth and "just plain,
hard - workins American citizens
with" no axe to wind."
The Sinn Fein "faction" the brief
set forth, has no right to take part
in the discussion of the league of
nations, because it failed to support
the allies, m the war, conducting a
propaganda hurtful to the allied
cause and civing aid and comfort to
the enemy by creating strife and.
turmoil at Dome.
Statements that Ireland has not
self-government were denied, the
brief saying the Irish have the
franchise, have a representative gov
ernment and are subject to laws
made by parliament in the same
manner as for England. Scotland
and Wales.
Ireland is not suppressed religi
ously nor industrially, it was de
clared and never has been one di
vided nation, approaching unity only
under British rule. Injection of
the Irish question into American
politics, it was argued, would create
racial and religious issues foreign to
the principles of American life.
I he hearing today attracted un
usual attention, an extra detail of
police being necessary to keepJhe
spectators from crowding the rom-
mittee room beyond its capacity.

Soviet Leader In Munich
Is Held to Be Incapable
Berlin. Ausr. 30. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Dr. Lipp, who par
ticipated in the soviet government
at Munich and issued orders which
were Iconsidered amazing, has been
declared incapable of- standing trial
because of his mental condition.
For some time he has been confined
in an insane asylum. (
Any aspirant for a place in the
commercial world who would enter
the retail grocery business should
be given a mental test, if the state
ment of J. J. Cameron, testifying be
fore the state food investigators last
week, may be accepted at their face
value.
Mr. Cameron is secretary of the
Retail Grocers' association and also
the Retail Butchers' association. He
has been the counselor and guide
of the retail grocers for a period of
years and is known as their spokes
man in times of need.
No Thought of Profits?
Analyzing Mr. Cameron's resume
of the profitless life of the average
retail grocer, it would 'appear that
this merchant is merely serving his
fellow men and women, without re
ward in this life or assurances of any
better net profits in the life to come.
He is so oblivious to the possibili
ties of lining his purse with pelf
that he just goes on from day to day
through the whirligig of time with-
oue considering what proper amount
of margin he should add to the cost
prices of his goods.
What Mr. Cameron Contends.
In the usual well-regulated busi
ness there are generally accepieu
principles which require the appli
cation of an overhead per cent ot
expense deducted from the gross
profits to determine the net profits.
Mr. Cameron said he believed the
average grocer is applying 20 per
cent as gross and that his overhead
expense averages 185 per cent,
which would leave Vi per cent
net.
Applying that to a typical case.
-it would mean that a grocer having
annual sales of $30,000 would have
a net profit of $750. But figures do
not always tell the story, according
to Mr. Cameron, who insists that
most of the Omaha grocers are los
ing money this year.
And they are losing money, he
insisted, because they do not have
the temerity to raise the prices as
fast as the wholesalers mark up
their figures.
Says Competition is Keen.
"Competition is so strong among
the grocers that they are afraid that
. $ fir v,
jp ? i J Jp
','4 vJS? , w
f one raises a price five cents.
another store around the corner
will get the business. If thev knew
how to figure profits correctly, they
would make money. said Mr.
Cameron.
It is not the fault of Mr. Cameron
that the Omaha retail grocers have
come upon such evil days. As long
ago as six years he made an attempt
to educate the Omaha retailers to
keep books and to know from day
to day, or week to week, how their
business was going. He complained
that it was almost a thankless task;
that the grocers would not heed his
advice, but just went along in a
haphazard manner, adding a few
cents here and a few cents there
to the goods, and then wondering
at the end of the year why they
did not check out to their own ac
counts. "They are still figuring gross
profits in a haphazard way. I tried
to show them that they could make
more money by keeping accurate
accounts, Mr. Cameron testified.
Young Men, Beware I
His story of the life of the aver
age grocer would discourage any
young man wno naa ambitiouj to
see his name on the door.
But he pictured the bright side
y teuing ot a tew umaha grocers
who are making money and this is
now mey are doing it: You must
nave a wite. Kent a small place
with living rooms in the rear. You
and the wife can wait on the cus
tomers and live in the rear rooms
Do all of the delivering yourselves
and hire no clerks. You will get
vour own groceries at the whole
sale rates. In this manner Mr.
Cameron believes one could suc
ceed in the grocery business.
He also stated that probably not
more than 25 Omaha grocers made
iO per cent during the last few years
on their capital invested. A few
may have earned from 10 to 15 per
cent at the best. This means that
on the 10 per cent basis a grocer
carrying an average of $10,000 stock
;:nd liabilities would earn $1,000 for
the year, which would not be a fair
salary even for himself.
Service to Humanity.
Carrying the analysis further, Mr.
Cameron added that if the average
Omaha grocer would include in his
expense account an adequate salary
for himself and other memhers of
his family who may have helped in
the store, he would have a debit bal
ance at the end of the year, Mr.
Cameron insisted that a mere living
is not the reward that should be
earned by a retail grocer.
His suggestion is that if the
grocer would lift himself out of the
slough of despond he should learn
the gentle art of marking goods to
the figures that will insure a profit.
Under present conditions, according
to Mr. Cameron's line of reasoning,
the retail grocer is not a self-serving
member of society.
"And just think of it all this time
we've been believing just the other
way round," sobbed a woman at
tending the hearing.

By KARL V. VON WIEGAND.
(Universal Service (Staff C'ort-espondeut)
Berlin, Aug. 30. Germany's Zep
pelin fleet will not swell the allied
air forces. It has been destroyed.
Determined that the victorious
allies should not have Germany's
great aerial fleet, notwithstanding
the provisions of the peace treaty, a
young naval officer, according to
what seems a reliable report, emu
lated the example of Admiral von
Reuter at Scapa Flow by causing
the greater number of Zeppelins,
which were to be turned over to
the allies, to be "saboaged" in their
sheds.
About 16 Zeppelins are left of the
90 built during the war.
The peace treaty provides for
their surrender.
(Note: Article 202 of the peace
treaty provides that on the coming
into force of the pact delivery shall
be made by Germany to the principal
allied and associated powersof all
dirigibles able to take the air being
manufactured, repaired or as
sembled." In the meantime these
craft were to be maintained at
Germany's expense).
One Still Intact.
One, the L-72, which is uncom
pleted, is still intact at the Zeppelin
works at Freidrichshafcn. The other
15 are in various air harbors, chiefly
in northern Germany, in the vicin- ;
itv of the North Sea and Baltic
coasts. Of the latter 10 or 12 are
said to have been sabotaged to all
intents and purposes as good as de
stroyed. Acting, it is alleged, upon his own
initiative and responsibility, the
young naval officer, whose name is
not yet revealed, is said to have
ordered the cables by which the
huge Zeppelins are suspended in
their sheds, to be cut, causing the
airships to crash to the ground,
crushing the gondolas and engines
and twisting the framework sothat
they can be considered "sunk."
There is reason to believe that the
plan to prevent the allies from get
ting the Zeppelins has been in con
templation in certain circles for
some time. But indications are that
the eovernment had no knowledge
of the plan and that it was carried v
out without its knowledge.
Government Investigates.
Answering my request for a
statement, an omcial ot tne toreign
office said that immediately the
matter becoming known there the
government began investigation. It
was added that the deed could have
been only "that of some irrespon
sible individual" who would be pro
ceeded against as soon as it was
certain who was involved.
In nationalist circles it is consid
ered a patriotic act whatever the
consequences be. It is compared to
the scuttling of the German fleet at
Scapa Flow. '
Through the inauguration of air
travel between Berlin and the Swiss
border there had just come a lively
renewal of interest in Zeppelins.
The officer responsible for the de
struction is reported to have disap
peared, but this is not yet confirmed.
Three of the oldest and most obso
lete type of Zeppelins in the sheds
near the Baltic sea are reported un
harmed. It is not certain that
"871," the last and largest Zeppelin
completed of those that attacked
London, is among the "scuttled"
airships.
Consternation was apparent at the
foreign offices when the report first
became known there. It was prompt
ly and emphatically denied that the
.government could have had any
knowledge of the plan. On the con
trary, it was asserted that efforts
had been made to avoid further trou
ble for the government from certain
elements. I
