The charges In brief are (hat tho

bought from the farmers "in the

proximately 65 to 67 cents a nound
and sold to the government as
'Scoured wool" at nrices rantlm
from $1.30 to $1.86 a pound; that

that way was actually scoured by the

was put Into effect in order to create
a smoke barrage" under cover of

"If the public wants to know how
much it ihat been mulcted by this
gang." says Mr. Campbell, "Just
multiply 700,000,000 pounds or wool
by tho number of cents a pound
that have been filched from the
price that belongs to the farmers.
Ten cents a pound would mean 170,-

Strikes and tires Favorite Weapons
of Discontented Social Revolu
, tion Paralyzes Industry
Lisbon. June 21. Portugal, espe
cially LIbon, is In the throes of an
incipient -"social revolution." Since
the first of May, when the working
classes made a strong and peaceful
demonstration of their force bv an
immense procession through the
streets in front of the ministries,
various threatening events have oc
curred.
Unsatisfied with the eight-hour
day granted by the government,
workers "downed tools" and two big
fires have destroyed two of the finest
old edifices in Lisbon.
Many arrests were made of ner-
sons suspected of being the authors
of this act of sabotage. The incen
diaries havo not yet been discovered.
and the government is continuing its
investigations and making many ar
rests. The damage is enormous: a
great number of money orders were
burned.
On the following day. the nriaon-
ers of the ancient and historical
Llmceiro prison revolted. , They
smashed furniture and doors with
parts of their iron bedstands and af
ter setting the prison afire with
their mattresses they rushed out
shouting "vivas" for the social rev
olution. The old building, which
ha4 been a royal palace, built in tho
13th century, was soon in flames
and part of it was burned. Some of
its 730 Inmates escaped, but troops
were Immediately detailed to cor
don the neighboring streets and bun-
areas were caught and removed to
the Monsanto fort and other nriann.
" Bolshevik propaganda has been
wioeiy spread m the working classes
ana some or the arrested men turned
out to be Russian bolsbevlkl.
The strikes have paralyzed bus
iness. No electric crews have been
running since May 1 and all the mu
nicipal workmen are on strike, so
tha street cleaning, burying the
dead, and all other mnntninai -i.
is being done by soldiers and vol
unteers.

Carranza and Are a Menace
Washington, June 21. Cancella
tion of the so-called gentlemen's
agreement with Japan and prohibi
tion or all immigration from that
country, was urged before the house
immigration committee by Senator
Pbelan, democrat, of California, who
declared that Japanese rapidly were v
making a silent conquest of tha
western hemisphere. America's next
war, he said, would be "on the Pa
cific and not on tha Atlantic."
"The Huns oF the east bare come,"
Senator Pbelan declared.' "Already
they have spread over California' and .
are stripping the state of Its Ameri
canism. They havo invaded South
America and havo obtained a firm
foothold in Mexico, where they are
protected and are a part ot the Car
ranza machine. Some day the Mex- -lean
and Japanese problem will come
to smite oia with united force."
"The Japanese are not to be com
promised with," he asserted. "They
must be eliminated entirely Hke"- -swarm
or locusts, which they alone
equal in economic destructiveness.'
Not 1 per cent should 'be allowed to1
come; not H per cent, not even K
per cent- Legislation should bo en
acted to bar them entirely. This
might burt Japan's feelings, but
America comes .first.
'The sore spot or the world is in
the orient. It is the place which we ;
must Watch, zealously and unceas
tngly." Senator Phelan urged also legisla
tion to prohibit the Japanese from
owning or leasing land in this coun
try, and to make "picture bride"
marriages Illegal. The greatest dan
ger from the Japanese, the senator '
said, was caused by their "innate
and deep-rooted desire to become
landowners."
"The Japanese refuse to work tor ..
anyone else when It can be avoided,"
he declared. "When, they acquire a
piece ot land they work 18 to 20
hours a day. For that reason Ameri
cans are being driven out ot the
state."
Landowners ot California are apa- .
thetio. Senator Phelan said, because
they are able to obtain from the
Japanese far more for their land
than they could make by leasing or
selling it to the Americans or by
working it themselves.
'The American 'laborers are not so
fortunate, however," he oatd. "They
a.-e deprived ot their means of liveli
hood. Can you wonder many havo
joined the ranks ot the bolshevikl.
the I. W.'W. and the radicals?"
Labor unions ot the west coast are
beginning to realize "the seriousness
f the question," the senator added,
"and to make determined efforts to
have all Japanese excluded."
Senator 'Phelan said he had .aided
in obtaining the state department's
( approval to tho proposed sale by
Mexico of 800,000 acres of land near
the American border to a Japanese
corporation tor colonization pur-
noses.
"But who knows when other and
ti'tre successful attempts will he
made" be said. "Wo must be on
our puard continuously." '. ',
