FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1920 THE MASON COUNTY JOURNAL PAGE THREE • IIIIIIIII i d } !&apos; ' !i ? t  I • i ¸ /::= d_L 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. LAST TROOPS QUIT PARIS General Conner and His Party Leave France January 9.

Washington.--Study of the subject 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.

Washtngton.--Carter Glass will not take his seat as senator from Virginia, having assented to the rerluest of President Wilson that he remain sec- retary of the treasury at least until January 15, by which time It is ex- pected his successor will be nominat- ed and confirmed. i-Ioward Elllott, president of the Northern Pacific, declares that $3,- 000,000,000 must be spent by the rail- roads of the United States within the next few years to provide first class passenger and freight facilities.

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.
