The new Annex Advisory Commission, the City Planning Committee and the heads of the engineering departments at the City Hall will be present. Mayor Broening and City Solicitor Marchant are said to want the loans expended under the direction of the Board of Estimates, and bills, for presentation to the Legislature are being so drafted at the Law Department.

Maude Powell was in her fifty-second year and had given thousands of concerts in the United States and Europe since she first attracted attention as a child prodigy in the Middle West.

She was born in Peru, 111., and at the ago of 13 went abroad to study in Leipsic, Paris and Berlin. Before her return to the United States she gave several concerts before royalty in England and Russia by command. Her New Y'ork debut was made with the New York Philharmonic Society when she was 16 years old. She played with all the representative musical societies of the United States and did much to introduce the work of American composers. She organized the Maude Powell String Quartet, which also toured extensively.

She was married in 1904 to II. Godfrey Turner, of London. MONUMENTAL CLUB ELECTS Old Democratic Organization Again Headed By F. J. Schneider.

by Xew In this artirle shall endeavor to answer the question How much of the trouble and unrest in American industry is caused by "outside agitators" and "alien radicals" and how much is caused by conditions inside of industry Judge Gary thinks that the trouble, as I showed in my last article, is incited from outside Mr. Gompers thinks it due to conditions inside. There is no doubt that what Judge Gary calls "outside did come in and organize the steel workers. At its St. Paul convention, in June, 1918, the American Federation of Labor appointed a committee headed by John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, who was never connected with the steel industry in any way, to go into the steel towns and organize the men.

There is no doubt, as Judge Gary dec-lares, that there are revolutionaries and alien' radicals, some of them holding the extremist views, to be found at Gary and in other steel towns there is no doubt' that there is considerable violent "literature" in circulation in these towns. There is no doubt, also, after the workers went out, that the familiar tactics of the strike persuasion verging always upon intimidation did take place at Gary. All this is true. Conditions At Gary. But let us look more closely at Gary.

Here is a fine, bright city of some people. It has an excellent Carnegie Library, an impressive Young Men's Christian Association Building, good churches, superlative schools. It jives wholly upon mills owned by the United States Steel Corporation. A few of the workmen, largely Americans, are highly skilled and well paid, often owning their own houses, sometimes having a few shares of stock in the corporation. But the great mass of the workers are more or less unskilled foreigners.

There are 42 different nationalities, speaking 20 or 30 languages. The majority work 12 hours a day and many seven days a week. To an extent which at first amazes the inquirer, these are young unmarried men. Forty-five per cent, of the Serbians and 4S per cent, of the Roumanians in the steel industry are single men, according to the United States Labor reports. Even of those who are married a large proportion have left their wives at 'home (62 per cent, of the Croatians, 40 per cent, of the Italians).

They are strong boys or young men. largely peasants-. (04 per cent.) from farms in Southern or Eastern Europe. About one-third of these men are 2o vears of age or under hardly more than boys S7 per cent, are 44 rears old or under. The steel YFer? themselves assert that a man is 'old at 40" in the steel industry; that men cannot stand the strain of the long hours and the heavy work.

Consider these masses of young men-peasants, who came to golden America to make, instantly, their fortunes. They were willing to work all hours, all times, where American workmen would not and could not work they got as much money as possible, in as short a time, either to bring their wives over from Europe or to go back there with their earnings. The noorest of them lived, and still live, impossibly crowded together sometimes a dozen men to a room in the very cheapest places they could rent. There are some verv miserable places in this fine town of Gary very terrible, really, with no relation to any "American standard of living." Well, these men, work-in? under such confused and divided, could 'not organize, had no way of expressing themselves. But they could get drunk.

Before Indiana went dry Gary had probably the largest num-loons to the population of any city in the United States solid blocks of them. A population of young unmarried men, away frm home, working under high strain in an unfamiliar and dangerous industry, without amusement or diversion this was the natural outlet. There may be those who think prohibition discourages economic unrest. I do not. I bejieve it is one of the causes of it, for it has removed the great deadener of human trouble and human ambition alcohol, and has left time to the workers to talk and meet and read, and money to buy publications and support organizations.

Effects Of The War. Consider also what the war did when it came. In the first place, it brought the entire working forces at Gary under an iron regime. Workmen coHld not go and come freely between Europe and America as they had always done, and they were worked harder and longer than ever, but, on the other hand, they got more money and had steadier work than ever before in their lives, for the steel tiust raised wages eight times during the war. This, however, was only a minor result of the war.

Consider what they were taught day after day during the struggle. It was not what was put into their pockets, but what was put into their heads that counted. They were told that this was a war for democracy, and that when it was over everything would be different and better. The War Labor Board at Washington laid down the broadest and most advanced charter of the rights of labor ever laid down in America. President Wilson said that after the war "there must he a genuine democratization of industry based upon a full recogniiton of the right of those who work, in whatever rank, to participate in some organic way in every decision which directly affects their welfare or the part they are to play in industry." Never before were workmen in the steel towns so courted so distinctly made to feel that they were a part, and realiy an essential part, of this great American movement.

For a moment a kind of thrill of partnership, co-operation, reached even the lowest labor groups. They all bought Liberty bonds or war stamps they all subscribed to the Young Men's Christian Association and Red Cross funds almost to the lowest man. I have heard over and again in these industrial towns of the extraordinary feeling aroused during the war. 'The echo of it reached Europe, and was commented on there with a kind envy as being something better than other nations coula achieve, ims, the jyorkmen. felt, was a taste of true Amer- eamsm.

Then The Disillusionment. Then the war stopped and the disillusionment began. Nothing wa.s really eh a need there was no more democ racy than there had been before They had seen a vision, dreamed a dream tbey had awakened. It was snatched away. Not only that, but the steel ranmanies.

not needing to speed up as much as during the war, began to dis charge many men, and the workmen heard rumors that wages were soon to be reduced so as to get the industry hack to. Drewar standards. am trying here to show just what happened, just what was the psychology these masses of men. Well, they were back in the dull nriUs, working 12 hours a day they had ceased to be men, and. were again mere machines.

A striker quoted me that bitter cry of the workers I work, work, work without end Why and for whom I know not. I care not, I ask not. I Jim a machine. Consider then, in all fairness, what Worsened next. Some time before the war ended the American Federation of Labor had Begun its campaign to organ ise the steel workers.

it went siowiy it was uphill business until the war ended. And then many disillusioned workers seized upon it as the one ray of hope. The employers had done nothing. There was no way of getting at them. One man at Gary told me that Judge Gary was "as distant as God." Not a single man who has any real ownership or any real control of things at Gary either lives at Gary or is known to workmen at Gary.

Not one They are not jpleasant places to live in the steel towns Most of the workmen I asked did not even know who was the "head, man" of the Illinois Steel Company and Judge Gary of whom they have all heard is 900 miles away in Jew York. To these men the steel corporation is a vast, impersonal, inhuman, unreachable machine. So they listened eagerly 4o the labor organizers, for these men told them the same things they had heard during the war, exactly what President Wilson had told them Democracy, more freedom, more life. But the moment they began to stir for themselves organize they at once found against them the old set policies of the steel corporatiton Its opposition to unionism its opposition to any change in the conditions which, since they had had a taste of freedom, seemed doubly irritating. In Pennsylvania when they tried to hold meetings they were suppressed by the constabulary, their organizers were arrested, their papers were seized.

In Gary homes were broken into and searched. They felt the old. hopeless conditions closing in around them. Some years ago I heard deaf-and-dumb Helen Keller describe how as a child she tried to express herself and could not speak, could not even make motions that conveyed any idea, could do nothing for herself. She described the wild fits of rage she went into.

She was suppressed, inhibited. Something of the same kind goes on among masses of men who are not allowed self-expression. A certain number become reckless, fall into rages, are willing to do anything to escape. Fertile Soil For Wild Ideas. This is fertile soil for wild ideas, for quack remedies, for blind revolt.

When conservative labor unionism is prevented, the I. W. W. leader is there with a flaming doctrine that promises much and promises it quick there are Utopian ideas from Russia. When open meetings and frank discussions are suppressed, workmen begin to hold secret meetings, make extreme demands, plot violent remedies.

The ideas they hold are usually of the vaguest and crudest. Chase them around with a few frank questions as I have done many times and you can ordinarily drive them into a corner and show them the want of logic, or reason, or even basis of fact, to support their beliefs. But you rarely convince them, for what they lack in light they make up in heat. How can they get light if all association and discussion is choked off? And how can anything else be expected when these groups of vigorous but ignorant young men are left crowded together in miserable places, worked to the limit of endurance, with no one paying any attention to them body or soul so long as they come to work every day. Here, then, we begin to get at the bottom fact about Gary indeed, about our entire industrial life.

It is the unrest, the unhealthy conditions, that cause the Bolshevism not the Bolshevism that causes the unrest. Once the process starts, however, as a disease germ makes easy work of a debilitated human body, the radical agitation increases the trouble accelerates it. If every radical alien were deported from Gary tomorrow, the causes of unrest would still remain. I spent most of the year of 191S studying similar conditions in Europe in every country I visited the same kind of unrest prevails and no one attributes it either to aliens or outside agitators. One recalls, also, that exactly the same complaint was made by the slave owners in the South before the Civil War that the slaves were contented, and that all the trouble came from "outside agitators" and "revolutionaries" John Brown, Garrison, Lovejoy, Lincoln.

As for the deportation of agitators and the suppression of opinion, that policy was tried out upon a grand scale for many years by the old Russian Government Siberia was populated with deported radicals read George Kennan's books. It did not stop revolution probably stimulated its more violent forms. Look at Russia today. hue we can deport men for being anarchists," said Senator Kenyon to the Lawyers' Club in New York, "we can not deport ideas." The first instinct of a man or a na tion with a pain is to treat the symp toms," as we are doing now. Both sides are trying quack remedies the employers a sure-cure bottle marked "Deporta tion Suppression, and the workers a bottle with a red label, "Bolshevism." I don't know which is worse, which will sooner kill the patient.

Why not do what any sensible man with a pain finally does learn what the underlying trouble is the real disease and try to reach and cure that? COLOlSrEL PAGE DENIES RUMOR Says He Has No Orders To Close McHenry Hospital In June. A report was current yesterday that the United States Army Hospital at Fort McHenry probably would be closed next June. Colonel Page, commanding oScer at the fort, said last night he had received no orders to that effect and that the date of closing would depend largely on the discharge of soldiers from the hospital. Fort McHenry is one of the 40 tem porary hospitals established by the War Department, most of which have been isconti nued. INSURANCE MEET SEEK REPEAL Would Chance Law So As To Per mit Preliminary Term Method.

Representatives of life insurance companies operating under what is. known as the "preliminary term method" yesterday conferred with officials of the State Insurance Department, with a view to obtaining legislation from the present Legislature permitting such in surance to be written in Maryland. Sev- eral representatives of out-of-town companies and officials of national insurance bodies presented the case to Commissioner Thomas J. Keating, Deputy Wilson L. Coudon and Actuary Arthur M.

Siegk. The Legislature of 1918 changed the State law in regard to valuation of life insurance policies, making the basis of valuation the American experience table of mortality, on a per cent, basis. The purpose of the conference yesterday was to present the reasons for asking repeal of this act for the re-enactment of the portion of it in force prior to 1918, and adding a new provision for valuation known as the Illinois standard. This provision" would enable companies operating under the preliminary term method to do business in Maryland. It was said that as a result of recently held in Chicago between representatives of preliminary term companies and those reserving upon a full level premium basis, a similar law will be presented to the Legislatures of all States which do npt at present recognize or accept the Illinois standard as a basis of valuation.

These States are believed to include only Maryland, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Ail others are said to accept some modification of the preliminary term method. It was represented that the new method would give encouragement to new companies and prove satisfactory to those well established. The representatives of Maryland companies present did not oppose the plan. Busick: Out On Ball.

The Rev. Dr. Samuel McComb, canon of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of St. John, yesterday began a series of conferences at the Young Women's Christian Association on the subject of prayer. Yesterday's talk was on the "Presupposition or Introductory Principles of Prayer." Dr.

McComb divided his talk into three parts. First he spoke of the personality of God and said that whatever else might happen we at least must know and be. able to understand God if prayer is to have any meaning. Prayer, he declared, was more satisfactory than the idea of law or principle. Speaking of the mystical side of prayer, he said that Jesus, St.

Paul and St. John represented the mysticism of prayer. He said these three characters had one point of agreement which was the sense of personality of the Being to whom we -pray. Of the symbol of prayer, Canon McComb said the most adequate symbol is drawn from ourselves. He said that when our prayers were such that we felt we were in God and God was in us, then the force for good in praying was most keenly felt.

Quoting Sir Oliver Lodge, Cecil Rhodes and William James, Dr. McComb declared that all of these men were believers in the mysticism of prayer. Illustrating the power of prayer in the life of man, he said that when a man's life was in the balance the power of prayer often had tipped the scale on the side of life. Dr. McComb will speak next Thursday afternoon on "Spiritual Healing." FOUR SUE FOR INJURIES Claims For Damages For Accidents Total $1,250.

For injuries alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff's wife when struck by the defendant's auto on November 25 last at Aisquith and Monument streets, David Dasheff sued the Maryland Biscuit Company for $5,000 damages in City Court yesterday, through Louis S. Ashman, attorney. In the same court and through the same attorney Sarah Anofsky sued William Fritz and son for $5,000 for injuries alleged toAave been sustained by her on October 27 last when struck by defendant's automobile at Baltimore street and the Fallsway. The United Railways and Electric Company was sued for $5,000 in City Court through David Ash, attorney, the claim being for injuries alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff on May 24, 1919, when his automobile was struck by a street car at Park Heights and Virginia avenues. Harry J.

Schriver and wife sued Frank Allen in the Court of Common Pleas, through Meyer Steinberg, attorney, claiming $1,000 and $2,500 dam ages for injuries alleged to have been sustained by them when an automobile in which they were riding was struck by the autotruck of the defendant on December 24 last at Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street. Mr. Schriver also claims $750 for damage to his automobile. Four Pinned Underneath Auto. Misses Lulu and Virginia Leipo, daughters of Mr.

and Mrs. Angelo Leipo, near Sparks their uncle, Joseph Reagen. of Newark, N. and Dr. Benjamin F.

Foresman, of Newark, were upset in an automobile yesterday on the 15-mile hill of the York turnpike. All four were pinned under the machine, but no one was seriously injured. GIVES FRIEND CREDIT 'Why, Charlie, what makes you look so said a friend whom I met in Philly recently," asserted Charles W. Carter. 1933 North Patterson Park avenue, Baltimore, Md.

It will de-. pend largely on the recommendations of the city's water experts and the Annex Advisory Commission. The loans now being talked of are as follows For sanitary and storm-water sewers, including the completion of the system planned for the old city, $25,000,000. For harbor improvements, the amount recommended by the Export and Import Board of Trade, For street paving (in the old city, old Annex and new Annex), In the enlargement of the water system, from $8,000,000 to For new schoolhouses, $2,000,000. For extension of conduit sys-.

tern, $2,000,000. It is not contemplated, of course, that these loans will be issued at once, even if approved by the voters. The laws of several States prohibiting investments in the stock of cities whose net debt exceeds 7 per cent, of the taxable basis will prevent the issuance of more than $15,000,000 or $20,000,000 worth of loans this year. It is understood that the bills authorizing the loans will confine expenditures to the city's borrowing limit from year to year. The borrowing limit increases with the taxable basis.

Water Loans Often Exempt. Some States exemnt water loans from the provisions of the borrowing limit law, as in most instances, like in Baltimore, they are revenue-nroducine. Some officials at the City Hall are of the opinion that the proposed, harbor loan will be in the same class, as it will produce- sufficient revenue to carry the interest and sinking fund charges. The new conduit loan also may be carried without expense to the taxpayers, in which event it will be in the exempt class. The exact amount of loans that can be issued at once without exceeding the borrowing limit will be worked out in conference with City Register Richard Gwinn, City Auditor Howard C.

Beck and the Commissioners of Finance after the Board of Estimates determines the expenditures immediately necessary. DRY LEADER VISITS RITCHIE W. Crabbe Shows Him Copy Of I Enforcement Bill. George W. Crabbe, State Superintendent of the Antisaloon League, yesterday called upon Governor-elect Albert C.

Ritchie and laid before him a copy of a prohibition enforcement bill which the league expects soon to introduce into the Legislature. The bill is a duplicate of the Volstead Enforcement act, such as national prohibition forces expect to have passed by all State Legislatures to run concomitantly with that act. As explained by Mr. Crabbe the only changes in the bill are such as required to fit it for State application. Wherever the words "United States" appears, they are changed to "State of Maryland." The provision of the Volstead act requiring prospective manufacturers of alcoholic preparations to obtain Federal permits is omitted in the State act.

Enforcement by the Federal courts is extended to State courts. After the interview Mr. Crabbe said that Mr. Ritchie had been rather noncommittal on the subject, but had received him "as one would expect to be received by a gentleman." He seemed of the opinion that Mr. Ritchie's choice of Senator Norris for the presidency of the Senate was not favorable to the prohibition cause, declaring that he personally "would not care to shoulder the responsibility assumed by Mr.

liitchie in backing a man like Senator 'Norris for the office." Mr. Crabbe said that the Antisaloon League is "not afraid of this Legislature." "It is composed almost entirely of high-grade men," he said. "Of course there are a few 'drunks' in it," he added. He believes that when it comes to a show-down the Legislature will be found on the dry side. He repudiated the result of a poll taken by an evening newspaper on the views of members of the Legislature on the prohibition question, which showed a wet majority.

"I have talked to men who were not approached on the subject," he said. CITY PAPER TO CONTINUE Municipal Journal Not To Expire With Site Commission. Formally ratifying its action in abolishing the Factory Site Commission the Board of Estimates yesterday authorized Mayor Broening to continue publication of the Municipal Journal until it can be consolidated with some other department of the city government. The paper has been edited by Tunstall Smith, who was executive secretary of the Factory Site Commission. Several bills contracted by the commission and the Journal were ordered paid out of an.

appropriation of $55,000 for advertising xhe advantages of the port of Baltimore. Of this appropriation $25,000 is for the Export and Import Board of Trade and $5,000 for the Industrial Bureau of the Board of Trade, which is to take over the work of the Factory Site Commission, of which R. A. McCormlck was chairman and Jacob W. Hook vice-chairman.

This leaves $25,000 for the use of the Municipal Journal, which is to be made a more effective magazine, the Mayor Vsaid. EATS WAY INTO NAVY Man, Seven Ponnds Light, Brings Himself Up To Weight. Hagerstown, Jan. 8. Seven pounds short of the weight required by the United States Navy, William R.
