dared doubtful In statu;* tinlay t.y a deciaion of Comptroller Warwick ,,f the
Treasury that orders have not Ix-en leu-
ally executed yule,**.** actually slvncd Irresponsible government contracting
agents and the contractor.
The war department **uhmitteil to the
comptroller a form of cancellation
agreement under which it wan proposed to aliandon without unjust loss to
contractors thousands of war t-upply
contracta. He refused to approve the
agreement, holding that the department may not agree with a contractor
on an arbitrary sum to cover liabilities
unless specific authorization for this
ia given in a previously existing contract.
A large proportion of war ortlers
were given informally by telephone,
telegraph or letter It ls said. In such
cases the comptroller held new legislation wlll be necessary to permit framing of agreements  for  cancellation.
In the confusion and haste of war,
many manufacturers pr*>ceeded with
tremendous order* on telegraphic instructions of subordinate army officers
and the termination of hostilities found
tham unprotected by  legal contract.
The authority of the comptroller, who
haa rendered then- position questionable, grow.** out of hi** supervision of
all paymenta by the treasury tin order
of other departments. jn submitting
the tentative form for a standard cancellation contract, Secretary Huker explained that "it Is Important in the
Intereat of latx*r and the Industrial security of the country that the.**e plants
(referring mainly to munition faclor-
Iaa) ha returned to commercial worn as
speedily aa practicable aud m> far aa
possible without u break In thalr con-
tlnoua operation und employment of
hsbor."
Serretark Baker continued:
"Tho war department believes that
aiiny auch contractors are willing to
forego the prospective profits on the
remainder of the work contemplated by
tha contract and terminate the existing contract on a ba.-!s which would
amount substantially to compensation
for expenditure* Incurred and profits
not to exceed ten percent on the cost
of tho unfinished articles on hand—a
baeis more favorable to the government
than the trrma of tho contract would
permit—If they can secure promtply a
sub.tantial portion of this rum so as
to release their working capital for
switching back to commercial work.
The department therefore desires to
enter Into i-upplcrnentary contracts
with such contractors by which a sum
well within what It ls certain would
have to be paid by the government on
auch basis of adjustment will lie paid
Immediately to the contractor upon his
eoneent to a termination of the original
contract and a release to the government from all Its obligations thereunder, Ihe department agreeing to pay
substantially auch additional sum aa
tha Secretary of War may demtermlne
will complete payment to the contractor on auch basis of adjustment."
Comptroller Warwick held that nn
blank form of contract could lie devised
to cover all cancellations. He declared
that caaes Involving only equitable
claims cannot be settled by executive
officers without new legislation.

revenue bill were adopted to abolish
Ihe zone increase on second class rates
with a provision that the rate shall be
1 1-2 cents per pound beyond* a 2u0
mile radius and also for repeal of the
extra cent per ounce postage on letters.

products of child labor.
Tho change In second class postage

The amendment reducing second
class mall rates, offered by Senator

Canton, O., Nov. 29—After spending ten months in tbe Stark county
workhouse, working at all sorts of
Jobs from gardening, book-keeping
and stable work, to road-building,

now prisoners there will be given
their freedom next Monday, It was
said Friday by John M. Boyer, superintendent of the workhouse
They are C. E. Ruthenberg, former Socialist candidate for mayor of
Cleveland, Charles Baker, state organiser, and Alfred Wagenknecht,
a state officer ln the Socialist party.
Their sentences were for a year
each, but Supt. Boyer said Friday
that tbese had been shortened by
60 days each for good behavior.
Wagenknecht la now working with
a road gang, on highway construction and repair, on which work he
has been kept practically ever since
he came to the Institution, Supt.
Boyer said. Baker is working in
the Institution stables and Ruthenberg has been doing odd jobs about
the institution, as well as working
ln the workhouse garttens, Boyer
added.
Supt. Boyer Friday told how it had
been neeessary for him recenUy to
use severe disciplinary methods with
Ruthenberg and Wagenknecht when
they refused to obey his orders to
work tn the laundry.
"The three prisoners were accorded the same preliminary treatment
as all other prisoners and each .was
assigned to a separate cell," Supt.
Boyer said. "They remained Idle in
cells the remainder of the week, and
then Ruthenberg and Wagenknecht
were assigned to work ln the laundry and Baker to kitchen duty.
"Ruthenberg and Wagenknecht
refused to work 1 nthe laundry and,
refused to work in the laundry and,
ordered Into punoshment by me until
they changed their minds.
"After four days of bread and water and other most severe punishment, such as dungeon solitary, they
agreed to work and were allowed the
usual prison privileges.
"After four days on bread and water tn solitary 'Confinement, they
were about ready to collapse as they
were not used to lt. They asked permission to oall a lawyer which they
were allowed to do. He interceded
with me to let up on tbe punishment
but I told him that, while I disliked
very much to punish the men, they
would have to obey orders and do
the work  assigned to them "
Supt Boyer said that Baker had
never given the officers at the institution any trouble whatever.
An answer was made Friday by
Supt. Boyer to charges that were
forwarded from Canton to the oftlce
of U. S. District Attorney Wertz at
Cleveland to tbe effect that Boyer
had been granting improper privileges to the Socialist prisoners and
that he was favoring them unduly. It
was asserted at that time, that the
Socialists were being permitted to
disseminate Socialist literature and
propaganda among other prisoners
and to send it oot from the Institution.

and sacrifice of a war such as this.
"United by ties of race, language, literature and traditions the nations of
the Brlttannic commonwealth and the
States composing the great American
Republic can command the peace of
the world. They could have commanded It in July, 1914, if tbey had given
Germany their Joint warning. They,
therefore, stand answerable to the
world for the responsibilities Imposed
upon* them.
"By their overwhelming power and
unequalled Influence, ne.tber nation can
divorce Itself from these responsibilities.
No minor consideration, no petty rivalry and no unworthy dustrust divide
tho.-e who, united, can command the
world  to abide  In  peace."
America's share in winning the war
was praised by Viscount Chlnda, Japanese Ambassador to Great Britain. In
a ringing address, the Earl of Heading
declared that Oreat Britain would ln
the future join America In celebrating
Thanksgiving Day ln memory of America's  acnievments  in  the war.
The banquet waa the most elaborate held by the society since 1914, representatives of nearly ail the associated
notions being preaent Henry B. Stoner, president, and the other speakers
were Irwin B. Laughlin, secretary of
the American Ambassy; 8. Klnner,
American consul general at London;
the Belgian minister, the Lord Chancellor and Mrs. Curtis Brown, President of the American club of LeTidon.

War Work Drive  Short That Amount
on Quota.
The top notch has not been reached
ln the l'nited War Work drive though
the climbing is exceedingly slow. Today the Woman's Committees redoubled
their energies in the campaign with
the intention, lf possible, to leave no
stone unturned in an effort to reach
the 190,000 quota fixed by Manager B.
F. Stanton this week. Between $8,000
and $9,000 are lacking and this the
women with the assistance of the merchants and farmers hope to raise. As
haa been said the shops of the city
have all responded over the top. The
question Is, have you done your part?
There are hundreds in the city that
failed to give, in this, the most important campaign since the one Inaugurated by the Bed Cross . Men who should
have given $100 or more have given
$5 and ln rare cases men who could
not afford to give more than $5 have
given $60 to $100. Some of the ladles
will call upon some persona who have
not yet given their mite to help ln the
work.    Don't lie a slacker. /
