LAWSO.N A CANDIDATE
BOSTON,—Tom Lawson announc
ed his candidacy for the Senate. Law
son is likely to carry on a strenuous
campaign and may be elected altho
running independently. Lawson
first achieved fame, outside his yacht
ing and financial activities, thru the
publication of Frenzied Finance, a
series of disjointed, exceedingly lurid
and often clever articles in Every
body’s Magazine, when that magazine
was younger and more aggressive
than at the present time when it is
practically controlled by the Stand
ard Oil interests. Lawson later and
since the great war broke out ob
tained immense notoriety when he
charged that a leakage of state sec
rets enabled some persons to make
money by gambling on the stock mar
ket. His charge was not wholly with
out foundation altho the Senate con
tented itself with making a news
paper correspondent the goat and
ruining the career of an indiscreet
reporter who was involved in the
scandal.
LODGE NOW LEADER
OF THE REPUBLICANS
WASHINGTON,—The leadership of
the Senate as far as the G. O. P's are
concerned passed today into the hands
of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts.
Senator Lodge was elected by his
republican colleagues to assume the
mantle of leadership left by the late
Senator Gallinger. It is understood
that there was very little opposition
to Lodge when the Question was de
cided by a caucus of republican sena
tors. Different men had however been
named for the position. As Lodge is
regarded as a reactionary pro-Roose
velt republican, it is another indica
tion of the dominance of the followers
of Roosevelt over the political sit
uation in the republican party.
It is practically assured that this
was one of the very reasons Lodge
was elected to the leadership. It will
be recalled that Lodge was named by
«
ernments to conscript forthwith a
large number of American residents
in Italy and Italians domiciled in
America for military activity.
It is however stated that very few
Italans who have been subject to the
draft in this counry have sought
exemption when coming up for regis
tration all of them manifesting a
willingness for service.

for the progressive convention when
the different factions were trying to
get together in Chicago.

dred and four members of the crew of
the American troopship Diomed, now
in the British Admiralty Service, ar
rived here today after a somewhat
trying experience.
The Diomed was submarined off
this coast last Wednesday and of
the crew which is mostly Chinamen,
two were killed and two injured. How
many are missing if any is not stated.

GARFIELD WILL REFUSE
MINERS A WAGE INCREASE
WASHINGTON,—The Fuel Ad
ministrator, Dr Garfield, announced
today that coal miners asking for an
increase of wages will receive no con
sideration from the Fuel Adminis
tration.
He said in making this announce
ment that the miners received an in
crease in wages last year on promising
that they would not ask for more dur
ing the war.
The miners claim that conditions
have changed completely in the in
dustry. They are facing a general
increase in the prices of necessaries,
and they are actually getting less to
live upon even if the amount of
money is the same, owing to the de
creased purchasing power of their
pay.
Dr Garfield has not hinted at what
ste“ps will be taken to assure a full
I coal supply and steady operation of
the mines in the event of the miners
insisting upon their demands for
higher pay to meet the increased cost
of living.
They, the miners, ask that their
wages receive the same attention
from the government as men employ
ed in similarly government controlled
industries so that from time to time
a wage adjustment may be ordered to
meet the soaring prices of the neces-,
saries of life. The miners naively I
point out that when leaders announc
ed they would be satisfied with last
year's increase in' wages, they were
under the impression that the Food
and Fuel administrations would main
tain prices at the level then existing.
Very bitter attacks have been direct
ed against the Fuel Administration
by many papers for the failure to
speed up production and keep the
coal miners employed. Lack of cars,
these critics refused to accept as an
excuse, and they charge that the ad
ministration in charge of the Fuel
Control had devoted its time to cir
culating literature when it shouldi
have been working to compel every
mine to produce the limit.

GENERAL MARCH TELLS !
FOUR MILLION NEEDED
WASHINGTON,—In his week end
statement to newspaper correspond
ents as to the progress of the war,
General March said that the deelara
Rohen brothers are much hampered
for lack of water, the complaint of
every other mining man in this sec
tion.
The report was in circulation that
flour had advanced a dollar a barrel
This was without authority from the
local Food Administration and the
report seems to have arisen from the
fact that one of the traveling sales
men now in Nome received a wire
notifying of ,this advance. In conr
nection with flour selling, it is pre
sumed that local authorities and
storekeepers are familar with an or
der issued last spring, on February
1, to be exact where positive orders
were issued by the National Food Ad
ministration that (we quote from the
Weekly Bulletin February 23, VqI 1,
No. 27) “50 to 75c per barrel would
be considered gross maximum fair
wholesale profit on flour. The retail
profit on original mill packages should
not exceed 80 cents ot $1.20 a bar
rel. Any profit above these are con
sidered cause for investigation.”
How much within that profit margin
is being locally followed, the Workei
| tion he had to make to the congres-I

million men would be needed to gain I
a victory, was not based upon any <
