Although strong arm methods are discouraged, full "moral persuasion" is endorsed. It is the opinion of James K. Lynch, governor of the Twelfth Federal Reserve bank, the names of those refusing to subscribe after being given a hearing should be published in the newspapers as a "badge of shame." The question was given serious consideration at a recent conference of Liberty loan chairmen held in San Francisco. Reports were made by chairmen that members of certain religious sects, and pro-Germans of several stripes were stubbornly refusing to buy bonds. Methods adopted by various communities were reported and it was agreed that diplomacy had obtained the best result.

TRADES UNION DID NOT ENDORSEMENT OF NONPARTIZAN LEAGUE TICKET
WALLACE, W. A. Smith, secretary of the Wallace Trades & Labor Council officially denied last night that the Wallace Trades & Labor council had endorsed the non-partisan league candidates whose names were on the little cards headed "Labor Endorses." It was against endorsing such a set of candidates that the Wallace Typographical union, by formal resolution, protested and condemned the endorsement. Today the typographical union prints a formal notice to the effect that the council did not endorse a set of candidates. Secretary Smith referred the matter to President H. O. Voss, of the Wallace Trades & Labor council. President Voss  Did not seem to be in accord with the views of Secretary Smith.
