SAN. FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE
Bulletin Of this CITY is NOT horr{fed at
the prospects Of a labor =. famine;
which some good people are fearful
of because Of the European war. The
editor presents his ~yiAWs thusly:, 49,.
"A shortage in uflsk}lled labor will
be one of the most fortunate things
that can possibly happen to this
country. In late years our gravest
troubles, and our most glazing injus-
tices, have arisen from an oVersup-
ply ofe labor. In federal law labor is
no longer a commodity, but in prac-
tice it has been frankly regarded as
such. The going wage and not the
living standard has been the test Of
what a laborer should receive. In the
great eastern Industries races whose
standards of living were rising have
been successfully replaced by newer,
more ignorant immigrants, who
would be content with less. : Some
great Industries are literally < para
sites upon the incoming immigrants.

Evidence AGAINST CAbarets.

Cabaret owners and saloonkeepers in
Bayshore. Long Island, have promised
to be good as a result of campaign
carried on by the Rev. D. D. Irvine,
pastor OF the Methodist Episcopal
church of Bayshore, who went around
to the resorts after hours disguised as
a "night-lifer.''
With false beard and skillful make
up. the preacher visited the road
houses, according to his own words.
and mingled with the convivial throng.
Then. with evidence gathered, he
called the resort owners to his home,
read to them sermon which he said
he intended to deliver. and asked them
what they thought about it. The ser
mon was never delivered, but Mr.. r.
vine has the signatures OF all the re-
sort owners promising to obey the IL
quor law and to keep women perform
ers out Of Bayshore cabarets.
1T was fun getting the evidence,

Ienee, Official Says.
| Washington, Aug. 11.-Officials OF
the department of justice said that, in
| so far as the department here is con-
cerned. there will be no trial Of the
Danville, ILL.,. election cases. Assistant
Attorney General Wallace, who is in
charge Of the Investigation and prose-
cution of election frauds under the
federal statutes, said:
There was no evidence of intimi-
dation or violence, except in one case,
and in that it was slight. Conse-
quently no federal statute was violated,
and the offenders, if any We're wholly
subject to the jurisdiction of the state
courts. Had there been evidence OF
intimidation or violence the district
attorney would have been instructed to
proceed with the prosecutions.
The department has not been ad-
vised by District Attorney Karch re-
garding the dropping of the cases.
1t Is the presumption here that Mr..
Karch. after making his last report
to the attorney general investigated
them further, and on finding that it
would be useless to bring the cases to
trial, asked the court to strike them
out.
The alleged violations of law were
said to have occurred turnout southern
Illinois. 1t was charged that persons
implicated in the Terre Haute frauds
We're brought across the Illinois state
line and voted in the Illinois elections.
One charge was also presented re-
lating to intimidation of an inmate OF
the Danville soldiers home.
This last one was the only one IN
any way subject to federal Jurisdiction
The evidence. however. was not suf-
ficient to back 1t up.

The details Of the alleged conspiracy.
whereby the Rock Island was thrown

Walker on June 4, when he appeared
before the interstate commerce COM
mission at the supplementary hearing
on the Rock Island case.
In answer to a question by former
Governor Folk Of Missouri, council for

he had for drawing the petition ask

Mr.. Walker said:

edge and at the suggestion Of Mr.. w.

The two other members were James

told him when he should file 1t.

Mr.. Folk, during the hearing, at

had made millions specializing in Rock

Walker was carrying the petition for
receivership around in his pocket.
While these efforts failed because Of
the limited scope of the investigation,
it is understood that the department Of
justice has obtained information sub
stantiating the charges.
Mr.. Walker thruout the hearing at
tempted to shield Mr.. Reid. He admit
ted, however, that Mr.. Moore was fully
advised regarding his activities during
the interim between the preparation of
