POLICE ASK VOTERS
To GIVE PENSION
FIRST AMENDMENT PROVIDES
6YSTEM OF ANNUlTIES FOR
DISABLED PATROLMEN.

A campaign Of education looking to
the adoption at the election In No
vember OF the police pension amend
ment has been inaugurated by com
mittees representing the department
in the three large cities OF the state.
One Of the things which the commit.
tee is impressing upon the people 10
the fact that. while II is necessary
for the state rs a whole to authorize
each city to adopt provisions for pen
sioning old and disabled policemen, 1t
will not cost the country people a SIN.
gle cent. When the amendment Is
adopted and pensions are provided,
the entire expense for them will be
borne by the city adopting the system,
But even before the city can do that,
under the Missouri constitution II IS
necessary for the entire state to give
fits consent
The amendment is to be No. l on
the small ballot on which all const!-
tutional amendments are to be print
ed this year. Every voter in the state
that thinks each city should be given
the power to pension the men who
guard the city By day and by night,
in fair weather and foul, after they
have been injured so as to take them
away from duty, by some criminal,
should scratch out the word NO on
the first amendment
Several years ago the voters OF the
Gtate authorized the cities to estab.
lish frcmon's pension, and these
men in St Louis today enjoy an a..
nuity whCG they become too old for
service, or are injured; and their
widows and children are paid some
thing If the fireman loses his life in
the performance Of duty. The danger
to which n policeman is constantly cX.
posed is just as great a. that Of the
fireman.
When there Is n FIRE the police must
be there to protect the property from
thieves and to keep the people back
II there is fight or shooting. he
must step in TO enforce peace. When
robbcrIrs are committed be must 10.
cate and arrest the crooks. At ali
times his life is in danger

OTHER CITIES HAVE
POLICE PENSION
THREE MISSOURI CITIES CALL
UPON COUNTRY VOTERS TO
SUPPORT AMENDMENT.

Provision for disabled policemen In
the three large cities of Missouri is
so far behind the other large cities
OF the country that, through commit.
/ tees organized for the purpose. the st,
Louis. Kansas City and st. Joseph de.
| partments are seeking to amend the
! defect In their work they have the
approval Of public officials who know
police conditions in each Of the three
cities.
The Improvement which the com.
mittees urge is In the way Of IN
amendment TO the state constitution
authorizing the police authorities in
each Of these cities to establish n
pension for policeman where he be.
comes disabled in the performance of
duty. This approval OF the peo-
Pile, through the adoption of con.
stitutional amendment No /, to be
printed first on the short ballot in
November, entails no tax or expense
whatever on anyone.
For this, If for no other reason, the
country voters should cast ballot
"Yos' for the amendment
The policeman has long hours, is
constantly on the street in all kinds
OF weather, in. the day and In the
night, and especially in the tough dis.
tricts where there is constant trouble.
And yet, under present arrangements,
II he Is paralyzcd by q bullet fired by
some thug the officers pay stops, he
Is unable to do other work, and the
man and his family must depend on
charity for what food and clothing
they get. What Mlssourian will toll.
crate a condition of that kind? II you
want to change this inhuman treat
ment toward the men in the cities
who stand guard over the homes day
and night, without costing you a cent.
every country voter should vote
-Yes."
An example of the city's enforced
lngratitude may be cited in the case
Vi conrad Nau, a member OF the
mounted police. After serving the
department 25 years at wages not
more than sufficient to keep the wolf
from the door, he was stricken and
was an invalid for seven years. What
httie he had managed to save was
gone in few months. Even an In.
valid chair, in which the disabled of.
hcer had TO be wheeled. was bought
by subscription from his former com.
rades.
1t Is embarrassing for disabled.
policeman TO accept charity that way
after faithfully serving the public for
so many years, and 1t is shame and
disgrace on the people that they com
pei them to do SO because OF failure
TO provide proper fund.

when It was hit by the Schultz machine
but he escaped with FEW injuries He tes-
titled that his machine was way within
the bounds of the law when the accident
occurred, but that he judged that the

least forty miles when It hit his machine

Of Leavenworth and ThIrty-fourth streets
has long been called the blind corner by

that the trees grow right up to the corner
and occupants of a car coming in any of

It's Action Against BnI Exempt
ing Labor from Anti

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Saying that II
was probable that the work of the con-
ferees on the appropriation bills would be
concluded by Saturday morning. Senator
Hale told the senate today that unless
prevented by something other than APP
preparation bills, congress would adjourn on
Saturday next
Rumors OF a probable delay in the ad-
Journment OF congress were afloat about
the White House today. Several reasons
we're advanced for this, but an air Of
mystery seemed to envelope the whole sub
Jet. Secretary Norton was reticent, but
admitted their might be a delay.
The omnibus public buildings bill is held
up for lack of an appropriation. The last
Of the general appropriation bills having
been passed, It would require a joint reso-
luton to appropriate the S240Oo.OOo to con-
struct the buildings authorized. There Is
opposition to the proposed resolution.
An informal canvass OF the senate in
dcates that it will have to recede from
Its opposition to the house amendment to
the sundry civil bill. exempting labor or
CARNATIONS from prosecution under the
Sherman antitrust law. Senators pointed
out that the proposed exemption is for
any act, mot in itself unlawful"
A hot fight was precipltated on the floor
Of the house late today over the amend
ment Of the sundry civil appropriation bill
exefnpting labor unions from prosecution
under the Sherman antitrust law.
Representative Hughes denounced the re-
publicans for their attitude toward union
labor and Representative Madison Of Kan
sas declared the amendment to be ''radi-
cally wrong in every particular"
The house today by a vote of 1873 to $780,
on motion to concur with the senate's
action defeated the Hughes amendment to
the sundry civil BILL which would have
exempted labor organizations from the eff
feet Of antitrust and interstate commerce
