cians are now organizing a union.

which has just been formed, claims
a membership of over 200 physicians,

doctors of East New York was held
to launch the physicians' union of
Greater New York.
"The physicians are up against it
just as much as the average work-
"cr," -declared Dr. Gertrude Green
stein, who is one of the leading spir
its of the movement. "The public
lias no idea of the many problems
which we have to deal with in or-
' dcr to make a fair living, and the
time has come for us to get together
and organize."

SAY OVERTIME WAGES
MAKE CLOTHES COSTLY.
Chicago, Sept. 11. Clothing: man-
, tifacturcrs in addresses before the
National Association of Retail Clo-
' thiers insisted that extra wages for
overtime work limited production
and kept costs high and dedared
there was no profiteering in their
- industry. Ludwig Stein asserted
that the present average cost of a
euit of clothes is $48.50, which he
Jircdicted would be increased to $62
or 1920.
, "It took 13 years after the civil
war to bring down prices, so how
can we expect a big break in prices
in six months after the world's
war?" said Mr. Stein. "In order to
bring down prices production must
be increased extravagance stopped
and labor prices fall." '

Senator Johnson Tells Crowds
in Indianapolis That Ameri
can Boys Should Not Have
to Fight Europe's Wars.
HIGH COST OF LIVING
BLAMED ON WILSON
President Had Neither Time
Nor Inclination to Treat
With Problem at Acute
Stage, Legislator Says.
Indianapolis, Sept. 11. (By The
Associated Press.) Senator Hiram
W. Johnson of California was en
thusiastically received here tonight
by a crowd which filled the largest
hall in the downtdwn section of the
city in the second address of his
speaking tour through the middle
west to oppose ratification- of the
league of nations covenant by the
United States senate. The mass
meeting was arranged by a non
partisan citizens' committee.
In introducing Senator Johnson,
Henry Lane Wilson, former United
States ambassador to Mexico, said:
"Like the late Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, Senator Johnson calls
things by their right name."
You're Right Johnson.
There were cries of "you are
right; you are right" when Senator
Johnson insisted that American
troops should immediately be
brought back from Russia. He was
frequently interrupted in the course
of his attack on the league of nations
by the cheers of the crowd.
Senator' Johnson began with this
declaration;
"I am here and you are here be
cause JutuukaaisiiLullJivca.Sc:!
"President Wilson has said 'the
league was being opposed by little
Americans," he said. "I confess I
am a little American, but I am all
American.
"Our soldiers, who won the war,
fought for America, for you and
for me and not for any league of
nations. Friends of the league ad
mit it is imperfect, but say we
must try it because it is the only
league of nations presented. Unr
der that theory I suppose if we
had but one egg and that egg was
rotten, we ought to eat it because
it was the only egg we had."
Poison Public Mind.
He referred to the official prop
aganda issued by the national ad
ministration at Washington and
added:
"They pick the taxpayers' pockets
to poison the public mind."
When he asked the crowd if it
favored the league there were loud
shouts of "no."
The audience laughed when the
speaker referred to William H.
Taft as "a distinguished ex-president
whom many respect but none
follow."
Senator Johnson left at midnight
for St. Louis, where he delivers
two addresses tomorrow.
"President Wilson adds to his
fearsome harsh names appeals to
our material interests and even
taxes "the two months that the
league and treaty have been before
the American people and senate with
the high cost of living," said Sen
ator Johnson. "He conveniently
forgets the eight months he spent
abroad, secretly pledging our re
sources and our manpower to Eu
ropean and Asiatic governments.
The two months of discussion by
our people and our senate in the
open of what he discussed secretly
for eight months has had, of course,
no bearing upon, and the reasonable
discussion in the future cannot pos
sibly affect, the high cost of living.
"If any single individual can be
charged with responsibility for the
high cost of living, that man is
Woodrow Wilson. The living costs
in December and January last were
substantially what they are today.
Mr. Wilson then had exactly the
same laws he now invokes. He had

Ten Thousand Do Honor to
American Commander-in
Chief at Reception.
New York, Sept. 11. "The Amer
ican legion welcomes you, General
Pershing, on account of your po
tential usefulness ' for the present
and the future."
With these words Col. Luke Lea,
former United States senator from
Tennessee, turned with outstretched
arms toward General Pershir.g at
the legion's mass meeting and re
ception to him in Madison Square
Garden tonight and bade him -welcome

The uproar continued for several
minutes.
It was the culminating event of
a full day for the general. He de
parts for Washington tomorrow
morning.
Praises American Legion.
In his address General Pershing
said he was "glad to encourage the
American legion as long as it
stands for true Americanism as
long as it keeps its skirts free and
clear from petty politics."
"And with that understanding," he
continued, "I shall be glad to en
courage it in every way. The Amer
ican Legion should cherish and fos
ter the lessons in patriotism which
have been brought home to the
American people during the last two
years.
"This organization possesses great
advantages for the display and ex
ercise of the same patriotism with
which its members have been im
bued in their service abroad and at
home and it is the hope of all of us
who are interested in the welfare of
this organization that you enter it
with the same integrity of purpose
with which you conducted yourselves
in the war.
"Our country is founded on laws
and not men and it should be the
purpose of this organization to stand
on government by law based upon
the principles of the constitution, I
shoulddeplore. it if there ere any
"chance of the American Legtonbe
coming a political tool in the hands
of political aspirants."
Visits Mrs. Roosevelt.
Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 11. Gen
eral Pershing paid a brief visit to
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt at Saga
more Hill Thursday morning. He
expressed his deep sympathy with
Mrs. Roosevelt, not only in the loss
of her husband, but in that of her

GUARDS ON r
WD
WD
Helena, Mont., Sept. 11. Presi
dent Wilson in his address hej
Thursday evening scored Boston po
lice for striking and leaving the
community at the mercy of thugs.
He said:
"I want to say this, that a strike
of the policemen of a great city,
leaving that city at the mercy of an
army of thugs, is a crime against
civilization. In my judgment the
obligation of a policeman is as sa
cred and direct as the obligation of
a soldier. He is a public servant,
not a private employe, and the whole
honor and safety of the community
is in his hands. He has no right to
prefer any private advantage to the
public safety.
"I hope that that lesson will be
burned in so that it will never again
be forgotten, because the pride of
America is that it can exercise self
control" Two Days Amnesty
Is Granted Mexican
Political Refugees
El Paso, Tex., Sept. 11. For the
first time since the' outbreak of the
revolution in 1911. Mexicans of all
shades of political belief will have
opportunity safely of visiting their
native land on Independence day,
September 16.
The invitation to the political ex

guellcs, president of the Patriotic
Society of Juarez, who has prevailed
on the higher authorities to grant a
two-day amnesty to his banished
countrymem to enable them to par
ticipate in the celebration at Juarez.
Americans also are invited and the
United States immigration authori
ties have been asked to modify the
passport regulations so as to permit
free intercourse across the Rio
Grande on Monday and Tuesday.
"We want more fraternalism and
less friction on the border," said
Arguelles today, "and Independence
day is a glorious opportunity for a
grand get-together. Americans and
Mexicans on both sides of- the river
should fraternize. Our own factions
should forget their differences and
live in peace.- There is no sense in
the strikes and banditry that is

by Barricading Windows as

Boston, Sept. 11. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) The death toll in
lawlessness following the calling of
Roston's police strike Tuesday
reached five tonight when Henry
Groat, 20 years old, was shot and
killed during a raid by sta.te guards
men on a dice game in the Jamaica
Plains section. Two other men were
wounded in the raid.
The sixth and seventh deaths oc
:urred late tonight when Richard D.
Reemts, a striking policeman, who
was shot this morning, succumbed
to his wounds, and Robert Lallie,
who was shot last night, died at a
hospital.
About SO persons are being treated
in hospitals for injuries received in
riots.
The shooting occurred after some
of the players and spectators had
refused to leave the place. They
were ordered to move on and when
they failed to budge, the guardsmen
fired.
With Governor Coolidge as commander-in-chief
of the state's forces,
in complete charge of the situation,
the city tonight took on a warlike
appearance. Six machine guns were
mounted at police headquarters and
troopers wearing "tin hats'' by order
of Adjutant General Stevens, pa
troled the streets. The order fol
lowed injury of several soldiers by
flying missiles.
Meanwhile shopkeepers, supple
menting police and military protec
tion by means of their own, barri
caded the windows of their places of
business, as if to withstand a siege.
Boards were nailed in front of the
glass to protect it from the assault
of bands of hoodlums who have
been roaming the streets.
Fight to Finish.
A fight to the finish between the
constituted authorities of state and
city and the labor unions was indi
cated by developments in the strike
today. While Governor Coolidge
was exercising his authority Mayor
Peters was making it plain to labor
leaders who visited city hall that
the policemen's union would not be
recognized.
The labor men were firm in their
insistence that the police be permit
ted to affiliate with the American
Federation of Labor and offered to
guarantee that the police never
would be called out on a sympa
thetic strike.
Fear Further Strikes.
The possibility of a strike of car
men, telephone and electrical work
ers and industrial employes was se
rious. What gave the authorities
the greatest cause for anxiety, how
ever, was the danger that the fire
men might join in the movement.
It was recognized that this would
place the city in the gravest peril.
A ray of hope was seen in the dec
laration of the president of the fire
men's union that he would not take
the responsibility for a strike unless
authorized by the American Feder
ation of Labor.
Governor Coolidge in taking per
sonal charge of the policing of the
city pointed out that his obligation
under the constitution compelled
him to take th step, in view of the
fact that the entire state guard has
been called out for" police duty. He
directed Police Commissioner Cur
tis to obey only such orders as came
from him and asked for the co-operation
of the public.
The central labor union, which
met tonight to consider the advis
ability of calling a general strike
in sympathy with the .Boston - po
lice "adjourned without takim? defi
nite action. A secret poll was
taken and those affiliated unions
which have not yet voted separate
lv on the question of going out in
sympathy were ordered to vote as
soon as possible and report .to the
central labor union committee,
which was empowered to take any
action deemed necessary.

the council chamber of the city hall
to perfect plans for raising $175,000
in Omaha to relieve suffering and

Poland, Russia, Galicia and Rou
mania. The nation-wide campaign for
$35,000,000, of which the Omaha
quota is $175,000, begins Monday
and will continue throughout the
week.
According to the plans of the
committee, of which William Holz
man is acting chairman and George
Brandeis secretary, the Jewish res
idents of the city are expected to
aid their suffering brethren in the
war-torn nations of Europe to the
extent of $75,000. Gentiles of the
city are exnected to contribute the
remaining $100,000. The quota for
the state is $400,000.
A meeting of all Jews of the city
is nlanned for next week. The date
will be announced by the executive
corrtmittee.
For the first time in the history
of the city, according to H. A. Wolf,
prominent realtor, Jews are seeking
the aid of other creeds and races
in raising the monev. Jews raised
more than $10,000,000 annnallv in
the four years prior to 1919. This
year the amount was found to he
insufficient and was raised to $35.

Three masked bandits held up the
operators in the Union Pacific sta
tion at Valley about midnight last
night, looted the cash drawer of

powered automobile. They are
thought to have headed for Omaha.
A sheriff's posse was immediately

fied. Detectives were sent from
Omaha in an endeavor to intercept
the car.
Three strange young men were
noticed loitering about the station
during the evening, but did not
arouse the suspicion of the em
ployes. When the telegraph oper
ators changed tricks two men en
tered the station and at the point
of guns ordered the operators to
turn over the money in the cash
drawer. The operators, R. C. Smith
and A. A. Stoddard, complied and
the bandits backed out of the build
ing. A third bandit was stationed out
side of the building, and when Con
ductor McKenna of a freight train
in the yards approached the build
ing he drew a gun with the com
mand, "Beat it, and beat it fast."
The conductor hurried to spread the
alarm, but' the bandits were gone
when he returned with assistance.
The bandits were recognized as
the same men who were around the
building during the evening.
