INCONSISTENCY,

U. S. Government Failure,
Former President Is Quot
ed as Saying
GERMANY FREE, CLAIM
Activities of Alleged Disloyal
Organization Are Inves
tigated WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Further
testimony ugainst tbe National Ger-man-Ahierican
Alliance. charged
with being an unpatriotic organiza
tion, was given the senate Judiciary
lnvostlgutlng aub-cotnmittee today
by Henry C. Campbell, assistant ed
itor of the Milwaukee Journal, who
aald he had made an Investigation
of the workings of the alliance and
into the activities and private opin
ions of some of its officers.
Thfl witness spoke particularly cf
Dr. C J. Hexauier of I'Wladelphia.
a firmer president of the alliance,
whose name has been mentioned in
previous testimony.
"Dr. Hexamer has publicly said a
great deal about preserving liberty
in the United States and of main
taining the right of Individuals;" Mr.
Campbell aaid, "yet, in the orifice or
the United States district attorney
Jn Erie. Pa., on March 23r 1916,. in
a, friendly dfHcussion or judicial and
government matters, Pr. Hexamer
stated: j
" 'This fdrm of government is a
failure, and the only correct form of
government i is a constitutional mon
archy. "He also nald that tho legal ys
tern pf Germany was better than that
of this country, and held up the lavs
of Germany as a model. He added
that there was much more liberty
under the laws of Germany than
under the laws of this country."
Mrs. Campbell gave the committee
the names of five persons who, he
said, heard Dr. Hexumer's state
ment. One, of them has been-sum-moned
to Uestlfy.
Telling the cotrrmltle he believed
the German-American alliance to be
"the greatest internal menace we
have In this country today," tb'e wit
ness referred to messages sent to
members of congress by the Ohio
branch Just before the United States
entered the war and cited other in
cidents to Indicate the .character of
work cat-rled on by the organiza
tion.
Since the United States went to
war, the alliance has been passive
and he did not believe the rank and
file of the membership was aware of
the rea purposes of its existence.
In Wisconsin, Mr. Campbell de
clared, the alliance controlled the
school board, .which adopted a rule
assuming that all school children
were desirous cut entering the Ger
man classes unless they specifically
asked , to be. excused. He nald be
fore the political national conventions
in lf06 the Wisconsin alliance sent
printed lists, of candidates for dele
gates to the conventions and In an
explanatory note aaid gtara appearing
before the names of some Indicated
that these candidates "were in ac.

and If elected will act accordingly."
FISH DEALER
1 IS AROUSED
Wi s. Fitts Takes Exception
to Article Recently Print
ed in Oregonian
tr - -
By W. C. COWGILJ..
"The Oregonian February 2C and
27 published two articles on the
fish industry grossly misrepresent
ing all the facts. They were manu
factured from whole cloth." said V.
S. Fitts. the wb"ale and .retail
fish dealer, yesterday.
Continuing. Mr. Fitts exclaimed:
"Is the Oregonian ont-Herodin
Herod .in its attempt to kill a brand
new industry in western Oregon? Or
are tbe agitators against flfh as a
food at reasonable prices playing in
to the bands of the Huns?
"Don't you knew that the gov
ernment is urging the use of mora
fish! more poultry and eges. In or
oerfto save other foods for oar sol
diers? ,
'An! what abont our allies, ar?
we fto let them starve, too. when
they are today even burying our
dead on the shores of Ireland?
'Man alive, here are my books for
1917 the stubs of sales cbeckc
wholesale.' as well as retail pick
out any of them. I have not seen
tbem for a year, as I had no occa
felon to look them up until you ask
ed tne for some proofs as to prices
during the time the Oregonian man
discoursed so eloquently about."
In, Jury, 1917. the'average price
of ling cod was IV cents whole
tale. . ...
Ii May halibut sold at wholesale
for 12 cents: retail 13 cents, and to
lestaurants for 13 ce$t.
At thf same time, the wholesale
price In Seattle was 13 cents, by re
ports from that point, or within a
cent of that price.
Cod In May was sold here In Sa
lem i for 8 V cents at wholesale., 10
at retail. ' , f
In July, halibut by the the whole
Hah, sold U cents per pounl. and
cod at 6 cents, while Royal Cfcln
ookjsalraon sold at 15 cents whole
sale. Take It back In April tbe first
of the fiUlng season when gill nt
fishing for aalnion there was none.
out naving special advantages. Fitt
handled salmon caught by hook and
line In the Southern Oregon rivers,
nelling it here at IS to 20 cents a
pound.
Cod in April so!d in Salem for 4
cents a pound, and in June, July and
August sold fyr f,yt cents at whole
sale. .
Halibut in July sotkl for 12 cents
and in August 12j cent. wholenal?.
"The Kedsnappers. Uvhich the Or
egonian made such a fuss about."
nald Mr. Fitts, T sold here, whole fish
at X cents, or sliced off the block
for 10 cents. These fish cost mo
In Newport about 4 cnts a pound.
Add express and telegraph expense,
and the Kale price doenn't seem sn
much ont of plumb."
WaMajte In Fish Jlenvy.
"Now there is a lot of waste In
fish. Did you ever think of that?
For Instance, take a aalmon from
the water to the block In Salem, the
wastage is from 22 per cent to .12
ner cent, deoendintr larelv upon the
state of development of tbe eggs in
the female fish.
"Now cod. theif bfg fat boys, will
waste away upwards of ."0 per cent,
from the water to the retail block,
und. remember, we pav the fisher
men for th,e whole ffiHh, had. tail
and fln, and the lnIdes, and w?
cannot make rausage net of then
either. If we could t?e the waste
for sometbln It would be a paving
of many dollars In a year.
"On halibut the waste from the
water to the block is from 30 to 35
per cent, also dead loss.
"The Newort Ice Fish com
pany, of which I am vice president
and secretary, and which now owns
Its own f ishin boats, but did not laat
year, paid cash market prices to it
fisherman In Newport last year, al
thonh we were .importuned to con
tract for Jialllnit for the season at
from 5 ,i to fi cents a pound. We
thought it best to pay the market
prlcei for the simple reason that haJ
we tied up the fishermen by con
tracts, when the fish became scares,
ni thev eventually did. th-y would
stop fishing at unprofitable prices,
nor could they be blamed in the
matter. ....
"We paid lastvear. notwithstand
ing contrary statements rom fi to
& cents a pound, and aimed to make
only a fair profit on tbe fish. When
'fish .were scarce, we raised our pric
es to fishermen a?cordIngly. -
"The handling of fresh fish on the
dally market of Salem is different
from other lines of food products.
We order bv wire and pay express
on boxes as well as return of empty
boves, at a cost of about 1 V cents
a pound."

Ohio Factory Cited Where

Hours a Day
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. A spe
cial session of the railroad wagt
commission was held today to hear
Miss Pauline Coldmark. hiter-in-lavv
of Associate Justice llrandies, tell
of the employment of women on rail
toads. She gave figures to show
that women are being hired in in
creasing numbers for heavy work,
her statement contradicting in some
instanced the testimony or railroad
executives.
MIfs Goldmark appeared a rep
resentative of the Consumer's league
of New York and other organizations
Her testimony was given Informally
and will not be included in the rec
ord until she has incorporated it in
a formal statement. Women were
first employed In any numbers by
the railroads about a year ago, Mls
Goldmark said, at the Instance of
the railroad war board. They were
put on the clerical position exerl
inentally, but their use has been ex
tended until now they are in tb.3
freight yardt, section gangs, shopa
and roundhouses. While much of
the work Is suitable ot them, many
occupations Involve: heavy physical
Mraln and other hazords. .Miss GoU
ruarkfcdoiibted Jthe advlsa?illlty of em
ploying women on section gangs for
work out of doors infill condition
of weather and withourt proier at
tention to their physical welfare.
Standard Work Ncelisl.
' "Inf order that ther hall'be no
wasteful nse of labor and to reduce
the turnover." she recommended, "H
js Important to make an .Investiga
tion and standardise the . work for
which women may be employed be
fore their numbers Increase. One
railroad employes 400 on one divi
sion and another has a total of 1517
women workers."
Miss Goldmark declared while, the
women were lifting weights as much
as .o pounds in work as drill press
operators. '
"Are women used in England in
the mme occupations or In har.er
work?" asked Secretary Lane, chair
man of the commission.
"They are used In "England In the
operation cf. street railway servlc?
and also as. station' agents and in
ether work In connection with the
operations of trains and In shop.''
Miss Goldmark said. She added that
tbe English were using Increasing
care to provide mechanical equip
ment for relieving tbe women from
lifting heavy weights.
She told of Investigating condi
tions at a factory In Zanesville. Ohio,
where many women are employed.
Hun! J,alMr Done.
"The majority of women at this
plant," she said, "are engaged in
hard labor, such as loading erap
iron, sorting scrap Iron, wheeling
iron in wheel barrows, etc. The
women loading scrap ironand sori
mg the same, work in the yards,
with no protection from Intense rays
ofj sun or weather. These women
wear overalls and large brim hats.
They hand Iron up from the ground
to others In the cars, who pile. The
hours are nine hours n day, T4 hours
a week, with one half hour for
lunch; wages 20 cents an hour and
$1.50 deducted each month for re
lief purposes. Men are -given 21
cents an hour for labor of the sam?
class.
She said a recommendation had
leen made that the railroads ob
serve the labor laws In protection
of women, but that thee laws did
not cover many occupations.
"For Instance there is no law af
fecting women employed on the
street cars, and therefore, it 1 nec
essary this year to put In a bill for
their benefit." said Miss Goldmark.
"There Is great confusion as to
the claaification of women work
ing on the railroad! for in Minne
sota the law applies? to all establish
ments where power driven machine
are used, yet rallrjDads claim that
the round houses are not under the
law. In New York state, the shops
are considered under the federal law
