Lennon. James O'COnnell and Austin B. GarretsOn

5. That the militia of the several
states being subject to regulation by
congress, carefully drawn rules for
their personnel, organization and con.
duct in the field should be drawn up
to insure their impartiality during in.
dustrial disputes.
Denial of Right and Opportunity to
Form Effective Organizations
l. Incorporation among the rights
guaranteed by the Constitution of the
unlimited right of individuals to form
associations, not for the sake of pro-
fit, but for the advancement of their
individual and collective interests.
?. Enactment of statutes specifi-
cally protecting this right and pro
.hibiting the discharge of any person
because of his membership in a labor
organization
3. Enactment of a statute provid-
ing that action on the part of an asso-
citation of individuals not organized
for profit shall not be held to be un-
lawful, where such action would not
be unlawful in the case of an individ-
ual
4. That the Federal Trade Commits
sion be specifically empowered and
directed by congress in determining
unfair methods of competition to take
into account and specifically investi-
gate the unfair treatment of labor in

become members of labor organi-

b. Refusal to meet or confer with
the authorized representatives of
employees.

all other cases before the Federal
Trade Commission.
Widespread existence of living and
working conditions in American in
dustry that menace the nations well
fare by denying proper standards of
living TO millions of its citizens, and
by making them subservient to the
wills Of employers who control their
opportunities for labor, are set forth

ORATORS OF THE DAY

Labor Day was celebrated in Ever
cit last Monday by one of the most
successful demonstrations ever held
in this county. AS the editor of this
paper was the speaker for the North
Yakima celebration Labor Day, he can
give no first hand account of the day
here Fortunately. the Morning Trl-
bune published a report which bears
witness to the success of the occasion;
so we reprint below this papers ac-
count:

which is of greatest social value shall
be given preference.
g. The forcing of all unused lane
into use by making the tax on non
productive the same as on productive
land of the same kind, and exemptine
all improvements.
The unemployed have aptly beer
called "the shifting sands beneath the
state" Surely there is no condition
which more Immediately demands the
attention of congress than that Of un
employment, which is annually driv
ing hundreds of thousands of other
wise productive citizens into poverty
and bitter despair, sapping the very
basis of our national efficiency, and
terminating the seeds of revolution.
Denial of Justice
With full recognition Of the gravity
of the suggestions it seems necessary
to urge the Commission to make the
following recommendations
1. That congress should forthwith
initiate an amendment to the Consti-
tuition providing in specific terms for
the protection of the personal rights
of every person in the United States
from encroachment by the federal and
state governments and by private in
dividuals, associations and corpora
tions. The principal rights which
should be thus specifically protected
by the power of the federal govern
ment are the privilege of the writ of
habeas corpus, the right to jury trial,
free speech, peaceful assemblage, to
keep and bear arms to be free from
unreasonable searches and seizures,
to speedy public trial, to freedom from
excessive bail, and from cruel and un-
usual punishments.
2. That congress Immediately en-
act by statute or, if deemed necessary,
initiate a constitutional amendment
specifically prohibiting the courts from
declaring legislative acts unconstitu-
tional
8. That congress enact that in all
federal cases where the trial is by
jury, all qualified voters in the dis
trict shall be included in the list from
which jurors are selected and that
they shall be drawn by the use of a
wheel or other device designed to
promote absolute impartiality.
4. That congress should drastically
regulate or prohibit private detective
agencies and private employment
agencies doing business in more than
one state, employed by company do
ing an interstate business, or using
the mails in connection with their
business. Such regulation. if it is
feasible, should include particularly
the limitation of their activities to the
bona fide functions of detecting crime,
and adequate provision should be
made for the rigid supervision of their
organization and personnel.

Program of Athletic Events Devel-
ops Some Lively and Close
Contests

Three thousand persons assembled
at the City Park at Twenty-fourth and
Oakes avenues yesterday afternoon in
recognition of Labor Day, to listen to
two speakers, leaders in organized la
Dor movements, to hear hand concerts
and to participate in and watch out
door sports on Oakes and Lombard
avenues. which were roped off for the
occasion pavement dance on Lom-
bard avenue was provided for the
young people.
Charles Perry Taylor, secretary of
the State Federation of Labor, spoke
on the value of organized labor.
A mans first consideration, he said,
is to get his bread and butter. To do
and capitalists whose purpose is to
get as much labor done for as little
outlay as possible. He told of the
strides or progress during the last
few years of labor unions throughout
the world, and especially in the Unit
ed States. He expressed every conf
dence in the future, saying that fed
Grated labor must triumph, with the
spread of the realization that working
men must unite and work together to
win their battles.
Mr.. Taylor spoke briefly, resigning
his time to the local trades councils
guest and the principal speaker of the
day, David Irvine of the United Mine
Workers union.
AS the auditors anticipated, Irvine
discussed the Colorado miners strike
and the arrest and conviction of John
r. Lawson, whose Imprisonment was
declared to be one of the greatest
outrages ever perpetated by capital
lists" 1t was declared that John Law
son was nowhere near the scene where
the murder of two mine guards oc-
Cured, and, in fact, was eight miles
distant. Yet he was brought into
court because he was the leader of
the strikers. and the responsibility was
showed upon his shoulders by an al
legedly hand-picked jury and Judge
who had been counsel for the Rookie
feller interests, which conducted the
prosecution.
The authorities were all prejudiced
against the strikers, who were un-
able to get justice, said Irvine That
public sentiment will demand the re,
lease of Lawson in the near future
was a prophecy.
OF greater interest was the tug-of-
war A dozen fat men were matched
with an equal number of little fellows
and it looked like the avoirdupols
would have all the better of it, but the
little fellows got the jump" on their
opponents. and the Taylor team walk
ed away not only with the honors but
with a keg of beer offered as the
prize.

Of course, all men should be tenn
perate, should avoid excess, should
keep the golden path between ex-'
tremes, should gather roses, not
thorns The only way to make men
temperate is to develop the brain.
When passions and appetites are
stronger than the intellect, men are
savages. When the intellect governs
the passions, when the passions are
servants, men are civilized. The peo-
pie need education, facts, philosophy
Drunkenness is one form of intem-
perance, prohibition is another form.
Another trouble is that these little
laws and ordinances can not be en-
forced.
Both parties want votes, and to get
votes they will allow unpopular laws
to sleep neglected and finally refuse
to enforce them. These spasms of
virtue, these commissions of con-
science, are soon over, and then
comes a long period of neglectful
rest.-Robert n. Lanyon, 406 Insur-
ance Exchange.

Wasnington's Last Illness.

George Washington probably died Of
diphtheria instead Of acute laryngitis,
as is commonly believed, according to
an article by DR.. 81. B. Hemenway in
the Evanston Medical News. DR.. Hem
enway outlined briefly the means used
to cure Ills in Washington's time.
'It is probable that Washington's life
was cut short more by excess of treat
ment than by disease" the article
reads. 'It is sometimes said that he
died Of acute laryngitis, but we be-
lieye that it is now generally agreed
his disease was diphtheria."

A Glasgow cabby once had as fare
an Inverness minister and his wife.
He had to drive them through the poor

'Why are there SO many poor people

It Is known that color blind people
cannot distinguish colors, but the rea-

They cannot distinguish many colorsr

In the constitution of the retina, which

also wanting. Even the normal eye

learned men do not wish to lessen the
value of what they have themselves SO

The simple, attractive dress, Of
butchers linen, shown here, lays no
claim to innovations and improyem ent
In shape, but is model that persists
from season to season on the strength
Of its many merits. It is little two
piece affair, just 8 dress and wide
belt of the same material.
The dress and upper part of the
sleeves are cut in one piece with XII
mono shoulder. The lower part Of
the sleeves is set In under hem in
the upper part, which has the effect
of tuck IN the sleeves. This makes
It possible to use narrow as well as
wide materials for this pattern.
The neck is square and finished with
buttonholed scallops. Small sprays of
flowers and eyelets embroidered in a
colored floss like that used for the
scalloped edges provide the decora-
ton and enliven the design. The
sleeves are also finished with seal
Iops.
The belt is run through slides OF the
linen placed at each side and fastened
with a fat pearl button at the front.
Bright red and delft blue are the
colors liked best for embroidering
these linen dresses in white or un-
pleached linen. On the latter white
noss Is often used, but the red or blue
gives opportunity for matching up hair
ribbons and embroidery.
Among the novelties in children's
models are those little dresses of sheer
white materials cut much like the
