TURN STRtKES INTO
REVOLT WAS PLAN
Plot Revealed in Conntry-Wide
Roundup of More Than
4000 Radicals,
t
Washtngton.--Radical leaders plan-
ned to develop the recent steel and Coal
strikes into a general strike and ultl-
mate.ly into a revolution to overthrow
the governmen(, according to informa-
tion gathered by federal agents in the
wholesale round-up of members of the
communist and communist labor
parties.
A definite programme to expand the
two labor disturbances to blot out
every resemblance of organized gov-
ernment, was disclosed in evidence
gathered in the raids. This data, of-
ficials said, tended to prove that the
nation-wide raids had nipped the most
:menacing revolutionary plot yet un-
earthed.
The greatest roundup of radicals in
'the nation's history was conducted by
the government acting through depart-
Inent of Justice agents in 35 cities,
stretching from coast to coast.
The raids were conducted part[cu.
'larly against Communist and Com-
maunist Labor groups of radicals.
Figures received showed that a total
f 2635 aliens were held with evidence
vhtch federal agents believed was suf-
ficient to warrant deportation. Ap-
lroximately 4500 persons were taken
into custody in the raids.
Raids were conducted In the fol-
lowing cities:
New York, Baltimore, Boston, Buf-
'falo, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Des
:Moines, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Hart-
ford, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Kan-
eas City, Los Angeles, Louisville, Mil-
waukee, Newark, Omaha, Philadelphia,
Plttsburg, Portland (Maine); Portland
(Oregon),; Providence, San Francisco,
Scranton, Spokane, St. Louis, St. Paul,
:Springfield, (Mass.) ; Syracuse, Toledo
nd Trenton.
DRY ENFORCEMENT
ACT CONSTITUTIONAL
'ashlngton.-- The supreme court
,declared constitutional sections of the
-Volstead prohibition enforcement act
pr'ohibltlng the manufacture and sale
f "beer, wine or other intoxicating
malt or vinous liquors, containing one-
:half of one per cent or more of al-
,cobol."
Beer containing 2.75 per cent of al.
¢ohol is illegal, under the wartime
prohibition act, the supreme court de-
cided.
The important feature of the deci-
sion is that the court upheld the ac-
tion of congress in declaring intoxi-
cating and preventing the sale of all
beverages containing one half of 1
:per cent or more of alcohol, by vol-
ume, with the exception of home made
lder and wine.
The decree of the court may be
aken as a definition of intoxicating
liquor that. will stand under constttu-
2ional prohibition also, because of the
<leflnite statement that congress in
providing for the enforcement of pro-
hibition can prescribe just what makes
a beverage intoxicating.
The vase was an appeal from the
New. York federal courts, brought by
Jacob Ruppert, a brewery corporation.
LOANS TO REBUILD EUROPE
tep to Assist Exporters In Getting
Materials to Europe.
Washington.Appeals of American
business for aid in financing the re-
construction of Europe were answered
When the war finance corporation an-
nounced that four loans, aggregating
$17,000,000, soon would be made to
ommercial interests which will em-
ploy tim money in exporting needed
materials to the stricken nations.
Two loans, each of $5,000,000, have
been arranged to finance the exporta-
tion of locomotives and agricultural
machinery. The locomotives will go
to Poland and the agricultural ma-
chinery to England, France and Bel-
gium.
A third loan for $5,000,000 will go
to an electrical machinery corporation
and will be used for rehabilitation of
stricken sections of Belgium and
France.
An advance of $2,000,000 also is in-
cluded in the total of $17,000,000 to go
to several banks which will furnish
funds for the exportation of machin-
ery to reconstruct steel mills in
Freezes.
RAIL CONTROL LOSS
IS $548,000,000
Washington.--The government de-
ficit from railroad oper.atiou during
November will be approximately $64,-
500,000, a low record for the year, ac-
cording to figures made public by the
bureau of railroad economics.
Gross revenues for the month were,
estimated at close to $436,000,000.
This figure is only slightly bel'ow the
high mark of a year ago but the heavy
expenses, due in part to the coal strike
which also reduced the revemms, left
as not little of the operating revenues.
The government's net loss, the bu-
reau estimated, on the basis of inter-
state commerce commission figures,
has reached $548,000,000 in the 23
months of railroad operation. The bu-
reau placed the loss for the 11 months
of 1919 at more than $331,000,000.

has convinced officials here that
President Wilson .may issue the call
for the first meeting of the council of
the league of nations, without commit-
ting the United States government to
participation in the league. In accord-
ance with that view necessary pre-
liminary stepshave been taken• It is

retary of the treasury at least until

WILSON WILL NOT
BUY CUBAN SUGAR
Power Conferred By Law Not
to Be Used, As Supply is
Field Sufficient.
Washington.--P'sident Wilson has
decided not to exercise powers con-
ferred in the McNary sugar control
bill authorizing purchase and distri-
bution of the Cuban sugar crop, ac-
cording to a statement issued at the
White house.
The statement said the president
had decided on the basis of facts pre-
sented for his consideration and the
recommendation of the sugar equaliza-
tion board that this power should not
be exercised.
In a long statement announcing the
president's decision, the declaration is
made that apparently the available
sugar supply is sufficient for American
needs, "even on-the preent unneces-
sarily large basis of consumption," and
notice is given that the power of price
control through the licensing system,
authorized by the bill, will be invoked
if necessary in co:operation with the
department of Justice. Figures attach-
ed show that the estimated 1919 con-
sumptlon in the United States was
slightly more than 4,500,000 tons, of
which normally only 1,000,000 tons was
domestic production.
As the Cuban crop is unusually
large, 4,800,000 tons, of which the al-
lies, however, because of limited pur-
chasing power, will take only about
1,250,000 tons, and as the estimated
Louisiana, western" beet, Hawaiian and
Porto R[can production will reach 2.-
000,000 tons, the statement foresees a
sufficient supply for American needs.
Naval Heroes to Be Sought.
Washington.--Secretary Daniels has
issued a call to the entire naval serv-
ice designed to bring out full informa-
tion as to acts of heroism or distinc-
tive service by officers or men during
the war which would Justify the award-
ing of decorations.
838,911,195 Coins Made by Mints.
Washington.--Mints of the United
States establishing a new record, dur-
ing 1919 produced 838,911,195 coins for
this and foreign governments, Director
Baker of the mint bureau announced.
The production in 1918 was $598,000,-
000.

DON'T DEPEND ON SPRING DELIVERIES
Spring deliveries of Ford cars have never been certain, and they
should not be depended upon. Demand has always been greater for Ford
cars than the supply of production. So, if you would be sure of having a
'Ford car, buy it now while deliveries are possible. Don't wait--even
next month is an uncertainty.
Only a limited, specified number of cars has been alloted to this terri-
tory. That allotment cannot be increased, because the demand all over
the country is greater than the supply oz' production, Get your o¢'der in
nw, and you will be one of those who is sure of a Ford car out of our
allotment.
It's first come--first served. All orders are filled in rotation. So, if
you would be forehanded, if you wouht be certain of having a Ford car
when you want it---then you will buy a Ford car now. A signed order with
us is your protection. I t is .the result of the wisdom of looking ahead.
If you buy a Ford car. now', don't think you have to "store" it., The
Ford is a car made to see its owner for business or pleasure throughout
the entire year. Ford omcrs have long since come to recognize the fact.
It is no longer popular to "lay-up" your 'car for the winter. Buy a Ford
car now, and use it now,
