WANTS LABOR MEN
Gompers Appeals to Unionists
to Eject Them to Congress.
NO PARTY SHOWN FAVOR
Though He Declares Republican
Platform Totally Ignored Cues
tions Affecting Labor's Wants
NO PARTY SHOWN FAVOR

An appeal to all trade unionists and
organized laborers and mechanics to
unite in a nation wide effort to send more
labor men to Congress is the underlying
element in ''labor's political program for
1917" as published today by Samuel
Gompers. president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Members of Trades
unions are asked to read carefully the
record of the past Congress and to peruse
the platforms of the three parties, and
judge for themselves what vote will be
more beneficial to laboring interests. The
program, printed with voluminous ex-
tracts from President Gompers' previous
utterances and writings. makes no spe-
cifc demand that any one of the three
parties should be followed by union men.
However. it points out significantly that
the republican platform totally ignored
the questions affecting labor's demands
for the principles of justice and human
liberty.
Speaking Of the candidates, the pro
gram continues:
The candidate Of the republican party.
Mr.. Taft. has accentuated his antagonism
10 the correction of the evil and abuse Of
the injunctive power and trial by jury in
cases OF indirect contempt. The candi-
dates of the democratic and Of the peo-
gressive party, Gov. Wilson and Mr..
IL,

Judged by Their Actions.
The indirect prohibition against the re-
publican party continues:
Candidates and parties are to be
judged by their actions in preference to
their declarations OF the republican
party. as long as it had entire control

it was impossible to get from 1t any con-
sideration, much less action, on any fun

interests and of the justice due the toll

deaf ear turned toward the toilers by

Welt. and the President Pro Tenn. of the

Affects Seagirt Teams.

Another pay question for the controller
to settle is one which affects each one OF
the six company teams which were sent
to Seagirt to compete in the annual rifle
matches. The expense Of sending these
men was heavy, as more than fifty men
were on the range in the capacities Of
principals or alternates. The transporta-
ton and pay for these men have been
held up because the auditor declares that
only brigade and regimental teams were
permitted to go by law. Some of the men
on the company teams, however, are
members of the brigade and regimental
teams and their pockets are not affected.
An old rifle team decision Of the auditor
for the War Department was reversed re-
Gently by Controller Tracewell in the
case of George Henderson. a civilian en-
ploye Of the National Guard of the Dis
trice Of Columbia, assigned by headquar-
ters to go to Camp Perry last year with
the Districts rife team. The auditor
held that as Henderson was not a men,
ber Of the team the guard was not au-
thorized to pay his expenses. The con-
troller ordered the claim to be paid on
the ground that there was no abuse of
discretion in the employment of Hender-
son to warrant a denial Of his expenses.

.PAYFOR CAPT. CLARK
Controller ReverSeS Decisions
of Department Auditor.
ALLOWANCE FOR SIX DAYS
Question Affecting Extra Service at
National Guard Camp-0ther
Debatable Issues.
ALLOWANCE FOR SIX DAYS

Controller Tracewell Of the Treasury
Department has ruled that Capt. T. Ray
mond Clark, paymaster department, n.
G. ID. c., should be allowed pay for the
work he did for the National Guard en-
campment. after the encampment at Boil
var Heights. w. Va, had ended. This
decision reverses that Of the auditor for
the War Department, but is only one of a
series of decisions which will have to be
made because of differences of opinion in
regard to certain pay roll items at the
encampment and at the rife matches at
Seagirt, n. ].
In the case Of Capt. Clark the auditor
for. the War Department considered that
the work on the pay rolls should have
been done by Maj. Boyd Taylor. pay
master. However. Capt. Clark has done
the same sort of work ever since he has
been In the paymaster department The
controller decided that inasmuch as Maj.
Taylor ordered Capt. Clark, to perform
the duty, the latter had acted in a proper
manner under orders from his superior.
Another Reversal.
Along with this reversal OF the auditor,
another decision affecting the same Ma
tional Guard officer has been made by the
controller. The auditor for the War De-
partment had denied Capt. Clark six
days pay in camp. on the ground that
Capt. Clark was Just six days too long in
performing his duties as paymaster. The
controller. in his decision. says that 1t
Is not within the province Of the auditor
to decide whether the time was too long
and the claim has been allowed.
The pay rolls OF the National Guard OF
the District Of Columbia were unusually
burdensome this year. and a vast amount
of detail had to be entered on the almost
innumerable forms required by law. In
addition to Mai. Taylor and Capt. Clark,
several enlisted men were detailed to the
work Of preparing the rolls. Several hard
points of military law had to be settled.
and in fact the entire pay question is not
yet settled. Capt. Clark has still several
payments to make.

HOLY Stones of Indians.

Many of our Indian tribes, notably
the Dakotas, deified the bow ders scat
tered over the prairies. Certain Of
these holy stones are still to be seen
in the northwest, according to the New
York Herald.
When a Dakota was in perpleXity or
distress he would clear a spot from
grass or brush, roll a bowlder upon it,
streak it with paint, deck it with feath-
ers and flowers and then address to it
a prayer for help.
Usually when a stone had thus served
its purpose it was no longer regarded
as Il sacred object and so might be dis
posed of in any way that suited the
savage within. But the popularity Of
the sacrlficial stone known as "Eyah
Shah" or red rock, near what is now
St Paul, was that from year to year
and from one generation to another it
was shrine to which pilgrimages were
made and where offerings were laid.

PUTTING AWAY THE APPLES.
Some Points That Must Be Observed
In Storage of Fruit

To get the best results in keeping all
varieties Of apples several points should
be adhered to most rigidIy:
F'irst-Store only \ No. fruit. AL
low no Wormy, diseased Or bruised
specimens TO slip in.
Second-Pick apples that are still
hard, but that are fully developed i'll
size and color.
Third Wrap in imprinted newSpa-
per If the cellar is apt to be either
very dry or very moist another wrap
per of oiled paper should be wrapped
over the newspaper.
Fourth-Have fruit cool throughout
the package before it enters the cool
cellar. Usually the smaller and tighter
the package is the better will the fruit
keep.

weather usually the inlet and outlet
valves are opened only at night. and in
cool weather they may be opened dur
ing the day. In order to have the air
somewhat tempered before entering the
cellar the inlet is placed seventy five
feet or more away from it and connects
with it by means Of a tile pipe laid
several feet below the surface of the
ground. The inlet proper is at the top
of Il pipe standing perpendicularly
eight or ten feet above ground. 1t
consists of revolving hood attached
to The pipe. The wind controls this
hood and creates forced draft
through the tile pipe into the cellar.
The warm air passing through will be
cooled, and much moisture of conden-
sAtion will remain in the pipes instead
Of entering the cellar. The outlet
should be through the roof.-Farm and

first taken apart and soaked in warm

and may be perfectly sound of hearing

ference. There he sits and fumes and
struggles and perspires trying to find
out what the person on the other end

by making his tin ear do the work.
