siderably interested in the Union

ganization of which Secretary LIE
Claire has been working for several
weeks with the best of success. 1t

"As a matter of explanation of
what the Union Card and Label
league is said Mr.. lie Claire this

not acquainted with it that this
league has been organized for the
express purpose of creating a de-
mand for union cards and for the
union label on all manufactured
goods: 1t is for the adjustment of
the sweat shops and child labor
and for the betterment of sanitary
conditions in all places where men
and women work for a living.

A. cabin boy had been seasick

WASHINGTON, April 7.-''Roose-

Father Harmon reviewed the vat
lean incident and then closed his
comments on its political effect in
America by saying:

now comes forth and denounces the
Methodist minister who came to his
defense. Why? SO that American
Catholics may be appeased.

STEAMER CAUGHT FIRE
In ENGLISH CHANNEL
---THRILLlNG SCENE
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
LONDON, April .7.--Nine hun
drcd passengers were transferred
from the burning steamship Cairn-
roma to the British steamer Kama
wha today without the loss of a
life. The Calrnrona caught fire in
the English channel. A high sea
was running at the time.
Passengers on the Cairnrona be-
came panic stricken and rushed to
the boats. Many men we're
knocked down by the Cairnrona's
crew before order was restored.
The Cairnrona was bound out of
London for Portland, Me. She was
in midchannel when the fire broke
out. A half gale was raging and
the flames soon got beyond control
of the crew.
Scores of passengers, seeing the
danger, rushed toward the lifeboats
and RATS. They fought among them
selves for places in the boats which
/. the crew at stations was preparing
to lower. Orders were given to
clear the boats of the frenzied pas
sengers and soon the small boats
were filled and lowered In orderly
fashion.
