With Alexander Graham ‘Bell, the inventor of the telephone, the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company, cut in on the wire at different points, the President ex- tended congratulations on the achieve- ment. “It- appeals to the imagination to speak across the continent,” the Pres- ident said, “I! congratulate you on the fine prospects for a successful ex- position. I am confidently hoping to take part in it after the adjournment of Congress. May I not gend my greetings to the management and to all whose work has made it possible congratulations to you?” : Talked to San Francisco.

GIVERS Eerie the polls ci Men Who Take Wealth from Business and Doie Out Philanthropy Scored by Millionaire. New York, Jan. 23.—"Justice, and not charity, is what the workers of the United States require,” is the opinion of Hemry Ford, Detroit mil- lionaire motor car manufacturer. He told the tederal indastrial relations commission this. And he declared that the methods which are in ,ogue in his factory would permit taking over the entire population of Sing of them. Ford was one of thé most impres- sive witnesses yet heard by the com- ‘mission. He very plainly denounced charity as a means of relieving dis- tress. And-he insisted that under the profit sharing plan in operation in his plants every one of his employes has been revolutionized. z Ford admitted that, despite the money utilized in the profit sharing plan in force in his factory, his annuai profits last year were either 25 or 28 million dollars. The Ford concern, he said, is'a close corporation, cop trolled by eight persons with a nomi- nal capitalization of 2 million dollars Ford explained at length the profit sharing plan. His firm pays wages 15 per cent above those paid in other plants, lie said, and in addition, em- Playes eligible—and the majority of them are—participate in the profit sharing plan. The working day ia eight_hours, instead of nine, as for- merly, and no one receives less thar $5 a day. Complete records are made of every employe and their work is carefully watched. : Protest U. S.

After answering nineteen separate and specific charges and calling atten- tion to the fact that the United States has promptly taken to task Great Brit- ain as well as Germany and every gov: erninent which in any way has in fringed upon the rights of this coun- try, the letter concludes with the fol- loowing declaration on the much dis- cussed question of exportation of war munitions: “If anv American citizens, partisans of Germany end Austro-Hungary, feel that this administration is acting in a way injurious to the cause of those countries, this feeling results from the fact that on the high seas the German and Austro-Hungarian naval power is thus far infericr to the British. It is the business of a belligerent operating on the high seas, not the duty of a neu- tral, to pr + contraband from reaching an enemy,” “If German; and Austro-Hungary contraband from this cannot import country, it is not because of this fact, the duty ie United States to close its markeis to the allies, The mar- kets of is country are open upon equal term ‘to all the world, to every nation, belligerent or neutral.” GUN W'LL SHOOT 28.
