The first maneuvers upon Germany's Immediate admittance to the league depends began this afternoon when the committee on applications for membership met behind closed doors. Former Premier Vlviani, of France, said he was ready to combat any attempt even to consider an application for membership by Germany. It is evident, however, that a strong swing: in favor of admitting- Germany has developed since the assembly began Its sessions on Monday. Leading members of the various delegations admitted it wis possible that a motion to take Germany into the fold -might receive more than a majority of votes. Lord Robert Cecil. representing South Africa, and the delegates from some of tha South American neutrals, have regarded with favor the proposal to take Germany Into the league in order to help her economicaly.but IV Is Improvable that they will press their views. Trance has threatened to withdraw her delegation -from trie meeting If Germany ia admitted whicn would inevitably threaten the league with disruption. In view of the absence of the United States and possibility that America may enter th league at a later date, if the covenant is revived, influential delegates are counselling caution and delay in dealing with the admittance of Germany. Great Britain, France, Spain and Belgium have notified the league that they are putting troops at Its disposal for use in Vllr.a district to maintain order during the forthcoming plebiscite. Vllna Is In Lithuania but claimed by both Poland and Lithuania. Thq city was recently occupied by Polish forces under Gen. Zellignowskl, who set up a government.

Baran, who conducts an undertaking ertabllshment. soft drink parlor and ice cream and confectionary store at 705 Schrage avenue, Vv'hltlng, has now been discovered in a new role, manufacturing booze. The prohibition officers from Hammond in raiding his place found a still In his basement. Baran was placed under SI, 000 bonds, furnished by K-. Frankowski. being booked to appear before the federal officers today. Mr. Baran had been ill for six weeks, he testified before officials today and had not been in his basement since last summer. Hrs theory of the affair Is that a young man who came to Whiting- this fall and who spent consiuci auic liiiic o-i liic i ' 1 an -cr resnonslblc. The youth claimed to Tn studying for the priesthood, but his actions dl not bear this out. The marriage of Mrs. Baran's daughter occurred while he was 111 in ed and he believes the visitor undertook to make some moonshine for the occasion. The key to the basement was kept In a soft drink saloon which adojins the undertaking parlors and which a'so belongs to Baran.

The body was horribly mutilated and almost beyond identification. From the pockets of the man was found a card of Local No. 41, Hod Carriers Union, Hammond, Indiana, bearing the name of Charles Olson. When the police arrived no witnesses could be found and the trackwalker who had phoned the police had fled. The finding of the dead man is a mystery to the police and from the condition of the body it maybe possible that the man met with foul play. CONGRESSMEN'S OFFICES RIFLED WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.

AROUSING Thurston Interview in Times Awakens Interest in Unfortunate Local Business Situation Existing. TV idespread comment was noted in Hammond today as the result of an Interview by J. M. Thurston, a rubber salesman, in these columns last night in which Thurston both criticized and praised Hammond and its institutions. This newspaper acknowledges a number of phone calls and letters from critics of the salesmen's criticisms but In the main public sentiment holds that he hit the bullseye. One letter dealt with the lntervlewed's expression on the strike situation and said: "It looks to me as If this boycott could be dealt within some way without putting citizens in the position of dictating what they shall buy and where they shall buy It. T take away a man's union card becausa he makes a purchase in a store where he has been a customer ever since ue has been in the town because that store is picketed and try to force him to buy In a store that Is not picketed, that does not obtain for the best Interests of the city and co-operation of its people.." BOTH SIDES IOSt: BY BOYCOTT. A busy professional man when Interviewed by a Times representative on his ideas on the business situation deplored the strike and its subsequent boycott. "I believe," he asserted "that there must be some great misunderstanding on the situation. The business boycott is a sad mistake. The employer will not gain by it and it hurts labor as well. I do not believe that any business interest in Hammond (s opposed to the organization of labor, and a boycott has a bad aspect. Nothing Is gained by it in the long run. Public opinion generally feels that a man who has sunk his money in a business ought to have the freedom of conducting his own business as his business needs. Surely no one has a 'better knowledge of it than he hlmerf.--" " CO-OPERATIOX THIJiG NEEDED, j "When V. P. Place, agricultural agent for Lake county, spoke at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon yesterday on the great reed of co-operation between the city and the farmers, he voiced a sentiment among the business men who would like to see cooperation In the city Itself between various civic Institutions and co-operation between organizations. Business men applied It to the friction in the matter of picketing between stores that have been put on the unfair list and organized labor. "If we are to have cooperation in Hammond," said one of them and all pull together for the improvement of our community why have this unfortunate situation embarrassing the whole town and bringing about a rift which It may take a long time to do away with." DEPLORES HARASSING. In a statement obtained by a Times representative from a well known Hammond man whose fairness Is proverbial he deplores, the fastening of the boycott incubus on the department store merchants. He said, "there is one important consideration which should be borne In mind. It Is regrettable that in these days of readjustment and falljng prices that these merchants who are harassed by this' hoycott and who have always been ready to give a helping hand to everything that obtains for the good and prosperity of Hammond should have" at this time to contend not only with the economic trend which as we all know Is somewhat painful, but also a picket and boyeptt situation which only brings out the fact that their employes are all satisfied and that they are treating labor Just as fairly as thev have always treated it. Prsonally I do not believe that union 1LU"1 lltVTTO t V V.' . " way and the merchants themselves cannot help but feel that thore is an existing attempt to coerce them and take their business out of the own hands."

"Your letter of Nov. 5," says the letter, "asking me to withdraw your suit against order No. 9 of the special fu : und food commission has been received. This is quite a surprise to me and I am at a loss to understand why you have decided to take this action. Will you kindly advise me at once your reasons for so doing so that we may know Just what the actual conditions are? If it is a matter of books and records. I would call to your attention the fact that you do not necessarily need a modern up-to-date bookkeeping system to prove in court that $2.50 is not enough margin for you. A great many dealers for whom we filed suit are having accountants go over their books to ascertain what their costs are. This is certainly advisable and I would suggest that you do the same thing, rather than give up your appeal, as under the law you have no further chancg for an increased mar gin.

Senator Cummins Wants to See Campaign of Education
BV. J. n.AJlT CAMPBELL WASHINGTON, Nov, 19. A fight over compulsory arbitration of strike! by the federal governiment is anticipated by members of congress during the approaching short session. Senator Cumimns. republican ol Iowa, chairman of the. senate Interstate commerce committee, said todaj he would seek to have restored to th transportation act the. anti-strike pro. visions adopted by the senate, but rejected by the house during the last session. He believes, he said, "a campaign ol education" would cowvlnce organised labor that the anti-strike provision? would insure railroad employes receiving a "square deal" in disputes between them and their employers. Senator Cummings said he was reelected on Nov. 2 after hte organ lied labor forces In his state, arrayed against him at the outset of the campaign as the author of the transportation act, began to understand to-t ward its close the merits of the antistrike provisions which he had advocated. "I believe railroad men are becoming convinced the anti-strike provisions w-quld provide them with a more effective W'f.apon and prove more advantageous to them than the strike." Senator Cummins sa!i. "I am sure they are beginning to understand that the creation of an anti-strike tribunal, as was proposed under the transportation act, would ensure their receiving a wage to enable them to live decently and to possess proper working conditions. "When I sought re-election to the senate I did not have the support of any railroad men in my state. I found they were not informed as to the real meaning and purpose of the anti-strike provisions for advocating which I was so widely criticised. So I undertook a 'campaign of education' and I believe when the election took place I had the support of a majority of the men who first oposed me." The senator expressed the opinion the anti-strike provisions would provide the means for preventing: all 6trlkes on the country's roads and as soon as the railroad employes generaly understood the advantages they would reap from the provisions opposition to them In and out of congress wouia melt away. He admitted, however, he expected to encounter considerable opposition at the coming short session to his plan to have the provisions made a part of the transportation act. Senitor Cummins said he was In f-i-vor of congress enacting at the short session the pure fabrics bill sponsored by Senator Cappers, republican, ot Kansas, which Is designed to let ths purchaser of cloth and clothing know what the goods are really made of. He expected to have his committee take up the bill soon after aongress reconvenes. He said there had also been considerable talk cf the adisabi'.lty of rs pealing the tax on railroad transportation. "This tax Is really placed upon the people purchasing transportation," the senator said. "It Is those who use the railroads, not those who operate them."' HE HAD TO BEST OF IT Mark Hanna, by the way he bears no relation to the late famous statesman of the same name, recently hought the furniture and a rooming house at 67 S?tate street. Hammond. He paid 400 down and the balance was to be in email payments. Business was fair, hut Mark longed to pay off the indebtedness and ba able to look the whole world tn the face. Then he got an idea. "Says I to myself," he explained this morning, "if I Just had one of them contraptions thet they use I "believe I could make whiskey Just as good as anyone else. go I looked around a little ard run onto a fellow that had an old wash biler and some other tilings. He let ine have them purty reafona;ble and I rigged up a first rate ti!l. "Well, I made a right smart of staff and didn't have no trouhle In getting 5hjJt of it. I didn't charge enough for it though only got 2 a pint. Directly some of my roomers come to ma ami tell me I'm gotto get into a peck of trouble If I don't watch my step.

That waa three days rgro and plagued if the police didn't come last night and ketch me with the moonshine in the house." Mark told it all in thu city court this morning. He was so frank about it all that the heart of Special Judge Tlnkh;im wa? almost moved. "Will you be satisfied with a fine of $130 and 30 days in Jail?" asked the court. - "We:, if that's the best you can do. I suppose I"l have to take it," said Mark philosophically. '"So be it," announced the judgs.
