WESTERN UNION IS
LOSER IN DRAMATIC
EIGHT WITH 0. S.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
WASHINGTON, May 21.—The dra
matic fight between the Western
Union Telegraph company and the
United States government over the
right to lay a cable at Miami, Fla.,
which would connect up with a. Brit
ish owned company in controlling
American communication to South
America lias come to an end with a
victory for the government.
N6t by decision of a court, not by
naval action as seemed at one time
necessary but through the influence
of Secretary of State Hughes, both
houses of congress, have now passed*
a bill absolutely removing all doubt
as to the right of the chief execu
tive to refuse or grant permits to
land cables in the United States.
The pleasure will be signed by Pres
ident Harding and will become law
n a few days.
The race between the Western
Union, which hoped that the supreme
court would hand down a decision be
fore congress could act. and the gov
ernment, which successfully urged
congress to rush the measure
through and beat the court’s decision
is at an end. Congress has acted.
The cases before the courts now be
come hypothetical or moot cases and
as such can have no validity.
Why Navy Watched
The reason for the Western Union’s
hope that a favorable decision of the
court might be handed down before
congress could act was a suppositiori
that the United States navy would
be unable to prevent the landing of
the cable at Miami if the courts up
held the Western Union and then if
the cable was once landed it would
be difficult for the government to dis-,
place the Western Union cable—it
would be an accomplished fact ''and
the courts have in effect held, that
he actual landing of the cable is in
itself a step that cannot be upset by
executive decree.
That’s why the navy has kept
watch on the Western Union cable
boat in Florida waters and has re
sisted every attempt to connect
American territory with the British
cable running from Brazil. Several
attempts to “test the cable have been
misunderstood by the navy accord
ing to the Western Union and clashes
have occurred in the vicinity of
Miami.”
All this tension has been occa
sioned by the knowledge of the gov
ernment on the one hand that the
rights of the executive to issue cable
permits had never been sharply de
fined and the feeling of the Western
Union that if they once landed the
cable, no law could upset the ar
rangement withotu a big damage suit
for it would in effect be confisca
tion of property.
An Example
The Wilson administration fought
the Western Union at everjj step in
its effort to land a cable. And now
the Harding administration has
adopted exactly the stand of the pre
ceding administration and has gone
a step further. It has secured the
enactment of a law that will here
after give the president of the Unit
ed States the right to say whether
any foreign concern can land a cable
on American territory.
This is of vast importance as a
reciprocal right, for it is a known
fact that some European countries
have not been giving American con
cerns the same privileges which Eu
ropean companies have enjoyed in
this country and there has been no
way to compel equality of treatment
until the American government ob
tained jurisdiction over the whole
thing. It is not an attempt to bring
about government ownership or con
trol of cable communication but an
effort to prevent foreign concerns
from taking undue advantage of
American companies.
For example, a French concern
could open telegra>>h offices in the
United States for the distribution of
its cables and so could a Brjtish
company but the government of
France has thus far refused to per
mit American cable or wireless con
cerns to distribute their messages
throughout France by their own sys
tems .of local telegraph wires or of
fices.
Western Union Argument
There is, of course, back of the
dispute between the Western Union
and the American government some
thing more than law • it in
volves a question of saving an Amer
ican-owned cable company from the
destructive competition of a British
company which has formed an al
iance with the Western Union. The
all-American cable company which
is owned by American citizens oper
ates cables to both coasts of South
America, but is prevented from lay
ing cables along the Brazilian coast
because the British company has a
monopoly ’here.
The Western Union and the British
company arranged to lay a cable
along the Brazilian coast which
would connect up through Miami
with the immense system of the
Western Union in the United States.
This wauld mean that all messages
collected throughout the United
States would be sent through Miami
and on to South America, through a
British company thus taking away
much of the business the all-
American cable company has. been
getting from the United States be
cause it has been the only direct ca
ble company reaching South Ameri-
The Western Union made the con
vincing argument that American
messages travel to the Azores over
American cattle lines only to be con
nected up with British and Portu
guese cables there and contended
that in principle tills wasn’t a bit
different than sending a message
from Miami to Barbadoes over an
American cable and transferring it
to a British cable line to be sent
from Barbadoes to Brazil and on
ward.
Question of Policy
In principle there isn’t any dif
ference and from a legal point of
view the Western Union has made a
good case, but the question which has
been confronting the government has
not been one of law but of policy.
Shall a British company eyen though
it affiliates itself with an Ameri
can concern form a combination that
destroys an entirely American cable
company and removes the advantage
heretofore enjoyed of having one di
rect line to South America over
which the United States government
as well as American business con
cerns could send message ' without
fear that they would fall into the
hands of other governments or com
petitors.
Secretary Hughes thus far has re
fused to take sides as between the
all-American cable company or the
Western Union. When he discover
ed that the Western Union question
ed the executive power, he promptly
set about to get that jjower. Now
the president has the right to grant
or revoke cable permits and to speci
fy conditions under which cables
may be landed.
The all-American cable company
has said that if the Western Union
used its influence with the British
company affiliated with it to get the
monopoly on the Brazialian coast re
moved there would be no objection
to the landing of the cable at Miami.
In the end there will probably be an
other cable to Souths America
through Miami—as it is very much
needed—but the chances are the
American government will now lay
down conditions that will not de
stroy the all-American cable com
pany’s business opportunitißi?.

OPPOSES SYSTEM
OF REPRESENTATION
ATHENS, Ga., May 21.—The pres
ent Georgia system of apportioning
representation in the legislature is
unfair, according to Dr. J. H. T. Mc-
Pherson, professor of political sci
ence at the University of Georgia.
In a lecture at the university this
morning Dr. McPherson advised
changes in the method of selecting
representatives.
“According to the modern demo
cratic theory of equality, the repre
sentatives in the state legislature
should be apportioned among dis
tricts containing substantially an
equal number of inhabitants,” said
Dr McPherson. “It is not fair that
Atlanta and Fulton county with her
250,000 inhabitants shall have no
more representatives in our legisla
ture than, say, three small counties
in some undeveloped part of the state
with no more than 15,000 population
for the three counties —yet such is
the case as it now prevails in Geor
gia,” continued Dr. McPherson.
“With every legislature that meets
creating new counties, and each of
these counties getting a representa
tive. Georgia can not expect just and
equitable representation. Further
more, all these newly created coun
ties are burdens to the state finan
cially. Georgia already has too many
counties and it does seem that the
people would see this and put an end
to this business of creating coun
ties where there is absolutely no
need or cause for them.”
It is Dr. McPherson’s idea that
representation in both houses of the
Georgia should be based
upon some division of the number of
inhabitants in the states, rather than
upon the present geographical divts
ions. He would not, however, dis-'
criminate against the rural district
in favor of the cities, but instead
suggests that no district—by what
ever boundary it shall be fixed—shall
have more than a certain percentage
of the entire number of representa
tives. In New York, for instance, it
Is provided that no county, no mat
ter how populous, shall have more
than one-third so all the senators.
“Is it fair that a. man, just because,
he happens to live in a city, have
less political rights from the stand
point of representatives than the man
who lives in some sparsely Settled
section of the state?” asked Dr. Mc-
Pherson. “Such is the case in Geor
gia and many other states today.
“No state can prosper with the
smaller counties over - represented
and the more populous under-repre
sented. There must be a remedy for
such a Condition and I feel sure that
the legislature, when it assembles in
June, can work out such a remedy.
It is for the best interests of the
state that this condition be attend
ed to and I sincerely trust that it
will receive the earnest attention of
our legislature and our newly elected
governor.”
Ex-Deputy Marshall
Guilty of Taking Bribes
SAVANNAH, Ga„ May 21.—A. M.
Kea, former United States deputy
marshall, was convicted in the fed
eral court this afternoon of accept
ing; bribes from H. P. Howard for
immuhity from arrest for selling
liquor. He was acquitted of the
charge of accepting similar money
rom W. W. Clanton. Judge Evans
announced that he will sentence Kea
on Monday.
The extreme penalty is a fine three
times in excess of the amount re
ceived in bribes and three years in
federal prison. Notice of an appeal
was given and the defendant was
given his liberty under bond. His
wife and daughter were in court
when the verdict was read but
neither showed any emotion.
The evidence against Kea was very
direct. ft was shown he had de
posited in banks in Savannah and
Dublin, Laurens county, more than
SIB,OOO in cash in about one year's
time aqd that he had besides money
in safety deposit boxes and in the
form of certificates of deposit. Kea
claimed to have been paid much of
the money by his father in Dublin
and the government attached much
importance to the fact that his father
had not been subjoenaed to appear in
his behalf on the witness stand.

DWPIMFLIBOII
DEPARTMENT SEEN
BY RALPH BARTON.
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
WASHINGTON, May 21.—Destruc
tion of the department of labor is the
aim of several of the so-called re
organization plans for the govern
ment departments, in the opinion of
prominent labor men, who are par
ticularly disturbed over the proposal
to remove the bureau of laboi - statis
tics to the department of commerce.
They assert that the present assault
on the department is merely the cli
max of long opposition on the part
of business interests and a powerful
group in congress.
Proposals for the establishment
hL-o <^ pa, ?u me 2t of public welfare
have fiorn the first been looked upon
with suspicion by the American Fed
eration ot Dabor, and Samuel Gomp
al'd others have made known
their definite opposition to such a
project. The Kenyon-Fess bill to
create such a department originally
planned the removal of the woman’s
th ? children’s bureau
tioni the department of labor, and
although in its present form only the
latter will be transferred, the trans
ler of the former would readily be
made possible within a short time
It is the contention of Mr. Gonip
ers and his associates that the de
partment of labor was created for
the welfare of the dage-earners of
the country, who comprise bv far the
greater part of the population, and
taht the organizations now included
in the department should for that
reason remain there. The depart
ment of labor is, in short, held to
be a department of public welfare
insofar as the workingmen and wom
en of the nation and their families
are concerned.
The recently introduced McCormick
bill, which also provides for the cre
ation of a department of public wel
fare, is now being considered in con
nection with the Kenyon-Fess bill
It is much more favorably regarded
by labor interests than the other, for
it does not in any way affect the
present department of labor organi
zation.
It is not only the Kenyon->ess bill
and similar proposals that have caus
ed apprehension in organized labor,
however, .for Herbert Hoover’s
recommendation that the bureau of
labor statistics be incorporated in
the department of commerce is con
sidered a much more serious thing.
The bureau of labor statistics gath
ers information regarding wages and
living costs. These .were used ex
tensively during the war to adjust
wages, and at present the bureau is
working on new living cost figures to
determine what basis should be
adopted in wage reduction policies.
Ilemoval of the immigration and
naturalization bureaus from the de
partment of labor has also been sug
gested. If that were done and the
labor statistics, women’s and chil
dren’s bureaus were transferred only
the conciliation work of the depart
ment would be left and the depart
ment would be practically disman
tled. Labor suspects certain powe
fui manufacturing interests, aligned
with the "open shop,” movement,' a.s
being behind the campaign to divest
the • department of all its functions,
and in support of that view it is
pointed out taht at the end of the
war, when the department’s war time
activities were needed in the interest
of the returned soldiers rather than
of the enterprises engaged in war
work, those war time activities—-the
war labor board, the war labor poli
cies board, the investigation and in
spection service, the training service,
the information and education serv
ice. the working conditions service
and others—were promptly put out
of the way.
Colored Congregation
Dignifies Its Pastor
With Partial Degree
YORK, S'. C., May 21.—Thinking
that it would increase his dignity
and the prestige of their church, of
ficers of St. James’ Baptist church,
colored, near here, undertook recent
ly to get in touch with some colored
college who might bestow the title
of Doctor or Divinity upon theii’ pas
tor.
The committee in charge finally
located a college in Mississippi -who
would confer the degree for the sum
of 8150.
Money was tight among the mem
bers of the congregation, many of
whom had not sold their cotton crop
of 1920, and the total sum that
could be raised was $75.
One of the church officers wrote
the officials at the Mississippi col
lege: <
"Dear Sir—lnclosed is $75 for
which please send us one D for our
preacher. When times gits better we
will send another $75 for another D.”
Hays Takes Air Trip
With General Mitchell
MINEOLA, N. Y.. May 21.—Post
master General Hays, in his first air
plane trip, arrived today from Wash
ington iu a machine piloted by Brig
adier General Mitchell, assistant
chief of the United States air service.
The flight was made from Bolling
field to Mitchell field in four hours.
The route led over Wilmington. Phil
adelphia. Trenton, Newark and Staten
Island. Mr. Hays undertook the flight
to get first-hand knowledge of condi
tions encountered by aerial mail
fly.ers.
"It of the most interest
ing and instructive experiences I ever
had—but I believe I will take a train
back,’’ Mr. Hays said, as he alighted
from the plane, clad in a regulation
flying uniform which he had hastily
donned over his street clothes.
Mr. Hays left for New York City
by automobile, where he tock a mid
night train back to Washington.
Brigadier-General Mitchell will fly
the machine back tomorrow.
EFFICIENCY IS
OF WILL
BY ELIZABETH KING STOKES
(leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
WASHINGTON, May 21.—Will 11.
Hays, “the distinguished postmaster
general,” President Harding called
him at the White House the other
day—has been sitting at his desk
looking over blue prints showing
plans for new postofiice buildings all
over the United States.
“Glad to see you,” said Mr. Hays,
shaking hands and showing his teeth,
to one of a roomful of visitors, some
of whom wanted to talk about this
new postoffice matter. For Mr. Hays,
the transition from chairman of the
Republican national committee to the
head of the postoffice department,
was a step from one local pride prop
osition to another, and from one
country-wide organization to another.
Therefore, in this humming office of
his, his methods of administering the
gigantic business of the postal serv
ice are those which he tried out as
chairman of the national committee.
As postmaster general he looks
less imposing than many of the por
traits that hang over him at his desk,
but as he sits there in action he has
the rapid-fire tactics of a Billy Sun
day with infinitely more finesse; the
compelling exnortations of a “Moody
and Sankey” with more substance
and less song; and the insistence and
drive of any good manager with the
added tactical facility of a young
Plattsburg lieutenant. But with all
this the postmaster general has what
welfare workers designate as the “so
cial mind.” In short, the picture of
Mr. Hays at his desk is unique, and.
does not fit in with any other, par
ticularly with that of no other cabi
net member, member of congress or
public man here.
Hays Very Amiable
But let us take the postmaster
general consecutively. Even early in
the morning out at the suburban
hotel where he lives he is more than
ordinarilv amiable. He comes down
to his office about 9 o’clock with a
few kind words and a smile for ev
erybody. He goes up to the fifth
floor, passes through the old-style,
swinging bar . room doqr, and sits
down at his double desk, a desk as
neat and orderly as that of a model
in an efficiency school. From nine
in the morning until eleven, except
on Tuesday, a cabinet day, he dic
tates to his three stenographers at
once, attacking a large pile of mail.
Such an achievement is more or
less of a mystery to the outsider,
but this is how .he does it. The
three secretaries sit around him. To
each one he hands a letter. Two ot
them ouickly read it, familiarizing
themselves with the contents, the
probable reply, and copying the name
and address. While this is going
on, Mr. Hays is dictating to the first
stenographer at a rate calculated to
upset anyone not a Pitmanic wizard.
He turns to the second stenographer.
“Well, what is it about?” he asks,
and is reminded briefly of the sub
ject of the letter, which recalls the
situation and he dictates the next re
ply. In the meantime, telephones are
ringing and he talks two ways at
once, with another telephone in the
wash room a few steps away buzzing
for long distance calls. John Wana
maker, when he was postmaster gen
eral, and head of the Philadelphia
store, had a private wire run in over
which he could keep track of the
mercantile trade. That was consid
ered versatility. But Will Hays
ability to do three or four things at
once not only puzzles the comprehen
sion but is unpleasant and dizzy to
watch.
From 11 to 1, the postmaster gen
eral performs in a large tent, so to
speak. His luxurious reception room
is full of visitors. In a corner sits,
perhaps, an old friend in the national
organization, and all around the room
are visitors with brief cases and
cigars, many from out of town, some
postal employes, some congrassmen,
and plain callers drawn by the pub
licity given to his “open door” pol
icy.
Comfortable Room
The room looks like the lounge
hall of a club, with large red leath
er divans and chairs, red velvet car
pet with golden filler de lys of gen
erous size, and formal draperies. If
Mr. Hays took each one of these vis
itors through the open door into his
working office, the time consumed
would probably be all day. If, too.
he pursued the easy methods of
President Harding, holding on to
each hand and entering into slow,
general conversation with benign
smiles, the time more likely would
be a week-end. But the individual
method of Mr. Hays is to emerge
suddenly from his sanctum, catch
the eye of an acquaintance, rush up
to him, shake his hand nearly off,
stand so close to his face that he
himself would appear to be the pe
titioner, and talk old times like a
Gatling gun.
“John, I tell you,’ this and that,
he says, with a great deal of em
phasis, and before you know it John
goes out smiling, and the postmaster
general accosts another, then an
other, then takes one suddenly into
his private room for a minute or two;
emerges, attacking the roomful
again, a few words here, and a hand
shake sometimes two bandshakes at
a time, a nod of agreement and pos
itiveness, and by 1 o’clock tills offi
cial conversazione is over, a pleasant
time was had, several special ap
pointments have been attended to and
the postmaster general has an hour
allotted for luncheon.
Then he goes up stairs to the
lunch room patronized by the em
ployes and sits down with the rest.
To see him up there eating with the
"fellows,” not "force” illustrates ills
whole attitude In the department and
its human side. When postal em
ployes come to headquarters from
outlying districts, they now see the
chief in his office. He talks over
matters with them and thereby
gains momentum in his new position
by bis old plan of inspiring those
around him, who in turn put their
energy into the work. Os course, no
one can watch Mr. Hayti without
concluding that he does not pursue
his course without a definite sailing
chart of his own. He is not simply
friendly with no purpose. He is bent
upon an objective—as much as ever.
He seems to be straining every
notch to reach port. _
Scores Narrowly
Escape Death as
Building Collapses
CHICAGO, May 21. —A score of
persons, including several children,
narrowly escaped death today when
a vacant, four-story building col
lapsed in the heart of the west side
tenement district. Search by the po
lice revealed none of the children re
ported to have been playing in the
building at the time. The building
was damaged by the explosion of a
fireworks factory several weeks ago.
Ten American Ships
Sail for Europe
NEW YORK, N. Y., May 21.—Ten
American ships, three of them pas
senger liners bound for European
ports,' left here today with boiler
and engine rooms re-manned, accord
ing to the Owners association.
Reports received by the shipping
board from South Atlantic and Gulf
ports stated the marine strike was
waning, but union leaders repeated
their assertion that more ships were
tied up than were moving.
The Mallory Line, running ships
to Galveston and Mobile, and the
Southern Pacific company, with pas
senger and freight lines to New Or
leans, Mobile and Galveston, report
ed to the Owners association that
schedules were rapidly assuming a
pre-strike regularity and that they
were far behind in moving freight
and passengers. They added that
engineers in all coastwise ports were
standing fast and would insist on
new contracts with th». proposed fif
teen per cent wage cut eliminated.

SEVEN ARRESTED IN
LIQUOR OFFENSIVE
What appears to been a gen
eral offensive movement against pri
vate stocks of whisky was made Sat
urday afternoon when under direc
tions of Solicitor General John A.
Boykin, forty special deputies and
a dozen regular officers made thir
ty raids on residences and small
stores. The wholesale search result
ed in seven arrests and the capture
of nine and one-half gallons of
whisky.
At 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon
Solicitor Boykin delivered 39 search
warrents to Sheriff James I. Lowry,
who detailed the large squad of men
to the work, and ordered raids on
32 houses.
Solicitor Boykin's instructions
were to make a thorough search of
every place visited, and to arrest the
occupants of houses where whisky
was found.
In a number of places, the offi
cers reported, cans, bottles, and oth
er containers were discovered, but
the whisky had been moved when
the officers came in.
The effort to smash the whisky
traffic seems to have been directed
at the consumers rather than the
vendors of the forbidden beverage.
The arrests made in the raids
were a's follows:
Luther Hurst, white, 222 Haynes
street, a special agent of the Geor
gia Railway and Power company,
according- to the officers, was ar
rested and charged with the owner
ship of one quai': of corn whisky,
found in his house. He was releas
ed after making SSOO bond.
Simon Echols, colored, 49 Rock
street, was charged with having
one pint of corn whisky hidden in
his piano. He made SSOO bond.
Nettie Dollar, white, of 597 Mari
etta street, was alleged by the of
ficers to have been caught with two
pints of corn whisky. She was
jailed in default of SSOO bond.
Charles Williams, white, of 193
West Mitchell street, was charged
with having 3 1-2 gallons of rye
whisky. According co the officers
Williams is alreday out on proba
tion. under a suspended sentence of
13 months in the chaingang. This
new charge will send him to the
gang automatically, say the offi
cers. His bond on the new charge
was fixed ta $2,00(U
Pearl Jones, white, of West
Mitchell street, was charged • with
the possession of 1 1-2 gallons of
corn whisky. She was held in de
fault of SI,OOO bond.
J. B. Hicks, white, of 773 East
Fair street, was alleged by the of
ficers to have been drunk. It was
also charged ‘that he had one pint
of corn whisky in his pocket. He
was released on SIOO bond.
J. B. Langley, white, of 3 Hayden
street, broke a gallon jug of corn
whisky on the hearth when the of
ficers entered, according to their
report. A pint of whisky later was
found, however, they stated. and
Langley was held when he failed to
make SI,OOO bond.
Eugenia Levitt, coloredg of 98
Central avenue, is being searched
for by the officers. One pint of
whisky was discovered in her wood
shed. although she was not at home
at the time of the raid.
Acting on a tip the officers raid
ed an empty house at an unknown
address on Houston street, confis
cating- three gallons of whisky in
bottles, cans and jugs, but making
no arrests.
Late Saturday Charles B.
Farmer, of 668 Woodward avenue,
was arrested and held in default of
sl6 bond, charged with being drunk
and disorderly, his arrest coming
as an aftermath to the raids by
the deputy sheriffs.
Farmer was arrested on charges
preferred by Ralph Thomason, of
645 East Fair street. He said Farm
er had found him in a barber shop
and had told him that the deputies
had raided his, Farmer’s, home.
Thomason alleged that Farmer ac
cused him of tipping the authori
ties off concerning his whisky hold
ings, and that Farmer had attacked
him and injured him with a pair
of brass knucks.
The deputies stated that they
had raided Farmer’s place earlier
in the evening, but had found no
whisky.
