* EXPORT FIRMS
IN ARGENTINA
BOYCOTTED
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 20 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Unions of laborers con
nected with port activities in Buenos
Aires and other ports of Argentina
have imposed upon exporters “their
own private tax” as a means of main
taining extensive boycotts now in
force against exporters and shipping
companies, according to a complaint
made by a packing house establish
ments here to Minister of Finance
Salaberry. At the present time more
than 100 exporting firms are under
boycott, in addition to the powerful
Mihanovich company, owner of most
of the river and coastwise shipping
of the country.
^f A committee representing meat and
hide exporters told the finance minis
ter that the dock laborers were re
fusing to load their overseas ship
ments unless the shippers made a con
tribution toward the support of the
union of $7 for each 200 bales of wool
and $3.00 for each 100 casks of tallaw
and like products.
The delegation pointed out that
these contributions could be called
“extraofficial export duties,” and that
some of them have been demanded
since last May. It was stated that be
fore any shipments can be made, ap
plication must be made to the labor
union officials and that several days
often elapse before the requisite “auth
r ority” is allowed for embarking. The
minister told that in some cases the
unions have demanded to see the ex

that none ot the produce to he export
ed came from any firm under boycott.
A list of 106 exporters under boy
citt was submitted to the government
and it was pointed out that while there
are more than 220,000,000 pounds of
unsold wool in the country and more
than 1,000.000 hides, most of the lead
ing exporters of these products whose
services are needed in relieving the
congestion, are not allowed to do busi
ness on account of boycotts.
The boycott of the Mihanvich com
pany has held over 200 vessels in port
for six months. Efforts of the gov
ernment to settle the differences be
tween the company and the workers
k have not met with success. Meantime
k the losses to domestic commerce have
been enormous.
Speaking in the chamber of deput
ies, a representative from the Pro
vince of Entre Rios, largely dependent
upon river transportation, declared
that the apparent object of the mari
time workers was to obtain control
of the country’ water transport. “They
publicly announce,” he said, “that the
boycott is not a strike over wages or
hours of labor. They talk about the
social movement, especially that in
Germany, and applaud the one that
has taken place in Russia, declaring
that the martime strike has nothing
less for its object that the socializa
tion of the transport service.”
During the months of the boycott
the Mihanovich company has been
able to return to service a few of its
boats by transferring them to the
Uruguayan and Paraguayan flags. Sev
eral cases of violence against the mem
bers of the crews of the vessels so
changed have been reported. It is
said that among the damages incurr
"ed has been the loss of a large part
of the orange crop from the region
along the Parana river.

RELIEF AGENT [
IS HELD UP BY
ROBBER BANDS
_
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 20 (by
Associated Press).—Robber bands of
Chetes, who have for months made
tra/vel in Syria unsafe and have held
up American relief workers twice
within the last ten days, are operat
ing under the orders of Turkish na
tionalists and of the Arab government
according to information received by
Dr. R. A. Lambert, director of the
Near East Relief activities at Aleppo.
Dr. Lambert says he has received af
fidavits to support this charge. He
believes it was one of these bands
that last February murdered two
Young Men’s Christian Association
secretaries near Aintab.
The circumstances which lead to
these conclusions are described by
near east relief agents as follows:
The first holdup of Americans oc
curred in June when two motor trucks
in charge of John O. Brian, a relief
worker, that were carrying 19 Armen
ians was halted between Aintab and
Killis.
Though Brian and all American pro
perty were not molested, the Armenian
men and all of their baggage were {_
taken off before the trucks were al- —
lowed to proceed. Only Brian’s re- ~
peated pleading saved the women from
a similar fate. The convoy continued
its way to Aleppo after the men were
removed. While relief officials were
negotiating for the release of the Ar
menians, the prisoners were hastily
set free by orders of the Arab authori
ties at Aleppo.

Aleppo later, Brian found him wearing
the uniform of an officer of the army
of the Prince who was elected king
of Syria. The Chetes expressed to
Brian a feeling of firm friendship for
the Americans and the British but a I
l
bitter hatred of the French and the
Armenians. j
On making the same trip a little j
more than a week later, Brian was
again stopped, this time on Turkish __
territory, by Chetes under the com- -
mand of a young Turkish officer, who
angrily refused to believe Brian’s
statement that he was an American
and compelled him to walk for more
then three hours to the headquarters
of the commander of the Turkish
: nationalist forces in that region.
This officer apologized for the de
lay that his men had caused Brian,
declaring it was necessary, however,
because the French had used Ameri
; can flags on their ammunition trucks.
! Another officer that Brian talked to
wanted to know why the Americans
did not drive the French out of the
country. He said the Turks let the
French come in because of President
Wilson’s assurances and complained
that the president had forgotten all
about them.

Poultry Community
Just outside the great seaport city of Seattle, reached
in 45 minutes by paved boulevards and smooth country
roads; with fine, big comfortably upholstered electric
cars passing through the district every hour of the day
and up to midnight, the greatest poultry district in
the United States is rapidly being brought into final
development.
Alderwood Manor, and the beautiful plan upon which
it is founded, is attracting the earnest attention of noted
poultry culturists, and experts in all parts of America,
who see in this wonderful undertaking a practical solu
tion of present and future food problems.
Jilgnteen tnousana acres oi me ricn loggeu-on ianu, unuuiauug unu lueany aaapxeu ior puumy iaismg, is emDracea in tne
project. In the center of this vast tract the Puget Mill Company, founder of Alderwood Manor, has built a most remarkable
Demonstration Farm and Poultry College, costing upwards of $200,000.00, and dedicated to the free education of the thousands
of men and women who are turning their backs on the city for the better, surer, mere independent way of living.
The Puget Mill Company has expended more than a million dollars in road building and preparing the land for settlement.
Hundreds of thousands mere are being spent, keeping big crews of land clearers, and ten big puffing special-type donkey engines
at work every day in the year.
More than 350 homes t.i:C pc altry plants have been built where but less than three years ago there were but three settlers.
These homes are owned and occupied by actual purchasers who are engaging in poultry raising just as quickly as circumstances
will permit.
Thousands upon thousands of thoroughbred White Leghorn hens are bringing a steady flow of cash to Alderwood Manor, many
of the proud poultrymen comamnding premium prices for their superior product.
There’s big profits in raising poultry for egg production, under the scientific plan adopted, fostered and encouraged under the Alderwood Manor system.
Free education, practical asistance when needed, insures absolute success to those fortunate enough to own a farm at Alderwood Manor.
One of the chief advantages is in being located close to Seattle, the greatest market center on the Pacific Coast. Every steamer that clears for Alaska,
BritisTi Columbia and other points carries great shipments of new laid eggs.
Auto trucks call at .your door for all you can supply, returning the empty cases for refilling. Eggs art spot cash and you don’t have to carry them ,/
miles to market. The customer comes to your door.
Feed can be bought at wholesale cost, right at the big granary warehouse on the Alderwood Manor Demonstration Farm, where you can also get
the highest market price in cash for your eggs. . ry*
And here you can live in the finest climate on earth, no hot days in summer, no extrema cold in winter. Seldom any snow out here, yet
from your porch or window you view the grandeur of snow-capped mountains all around. A few minutes’ drive takes you to beautiful V>
lakes or seashore bathing beaches.
The Puget Mill Company will sell you a little 5-acre poultry farm at Alderwood Manor, help you build a home, render financial
assistance in getting started in a profitable industry. v
Let us tell you more about this unusual opportunity. Write your name in the coupon and we will mail you (free) the complete aV
story of Alderwood Manor and the New Life of the Land. Also pictures of the great Demonstration Farm, and many of the
“little landers” homes. - -- — ■■■—_
